The next step will involve merging smaller stores into larger ones, enhancing renovations of older stores, and planning to add 100-200 flagship stores this year.

Regarding overseas development, management noted that the number of directly operated overseas stores is in a phase of brisk growth, expecting triple-digit increment this year.
