It also aimed to thoroughly implement the national directives on promoting the development of food and fresh produce industry belts through e-commerce platforms, thereby supporting rural revitalization. The event sought to enhance public awareness of the high-quality products from the Dandong food and fresh produce industry belt and to promote the vigorous development of this sector, turning it into a leading industry that drives rural revitalization. The event received strong support and attention from government departments such as the Donggang Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the Donggang Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, as well as from organizations like the Donggang E-commerce Association and the Donggang Strawberry Association. Key participants included Mr. Muyan, Head of Alibaba’s Taobao Fresh Produce Industry; Mr. Shuyang, Head of Taobao Tmall Fresh Produce Recruitment; and Mr. Zhoumu, Head of Taobao Live’s Northeast Region.

At the estuary of the Yalu River, along the coast of the Yellow Sea, the warm sea breeze meets the cold, humid air from the mountains, bringing abundant rainfall to this land. Thanks to its unique natural conditions, Donggang, a county-level city in Dandong, Liaoning Province, located at the northernmost tip of China’s coastline, has grown from planting 7 strawberry plants in 1924 to developing nearly 200,000 acres of strawberry greenhouses over the course of nearly a century, becoming the largest strawberry production and export base in China.
Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, Donggang’s food, produk segar, and agricultural industry belt have focused on implementing a high-quality brand cultivation plan. Donggang has set dual goals of achieving a century-old strawberry industry and a hundred-billion-yuan output value, combining market-driven approaches with government support, quality with efficiency, and uniqueness with standardization. The city has increased policy support, improved supporting infrastructure and services, created brands through unique characteristics, developed brands through standards, and strengthened brands through marketing. By telling the story of its brands, Donggang has enhanced their recognition, reputation, and competitiveness, building a “1+N” brand system and creating a prosperous agricultural industry. This approach has explored a new path for enriching farmers through e-commerce market expansion and premium product value enhancement.
Looking at the broader food and fresh produce e-commerce industry, the market has expanded continuously in recent years as national living standards have improved and concerns over food safety have grown. Statistics show that the market size of China’s fresh produce e-commerce reached 850 billion yuan in 2020 and is expected to grow to 2.7 trillion yuan by 2026.
Major players in the fresh produce e-commerce market include e-commerce platforms, logistics companies, supermarkets, and agricultural producers. E-commerce platforms like Alibaba’s Hema Fresh and Tmall Fresh hold a dominant market position. Selain itu, logistics companies such as SF Express and supermarkets like Yonghui Supermarket are also actively expanding into the fresh produce e-commerce sector. Competition among these players is intense, primarily focusing on price, kualitas, delivery speed, and user experience.
As we enter 2023, the food and fresh produce e-commerce market is expected to have significant growth potential, with the market size continuing to expand. With technological advancements and strengthened policy support, fresh produce e-commerce will usher in new development opportunities.
With the comprehensive upgrading of consumption and the emergence of new trends in pet care, the demand for fresh produce in daily life has extended to emotional care, with fresh produce increasingly seen as a source of emotional companionship within households. The trend of “luxury” pet care is becoming mainstream. According to a 2023 consumer survey by “Euromonitor International” of Chinese pet owners, 63% of consumers believe that “fresh produce is one of the closest family members.” This has also led to the emergence of a series of related industries, such as fresh produce healthcare, beauty, pet boarding, and insurance, significantly promoting the development of the fresh produce economy.
In the online food and fresh produce live-streaming sales field, Taobao’s food and fresh produce sector and Taobao Live have increased investments in professional operations staff, traffic support, precise customer acquisition, and peripheral resources for fresh produce. They have also made significant efforts in standardizing sales and updating related backend rules.

Fujian Minwei Industrial Co., Ltd. adalah perusahaan terkemuka kunci nasional dalam industrialisasi pertanian, perusahaan berteknologi tinggi nasional, a national quality benchmark enterprise, and one of the first batch of national aquatic seed industry enterprises. The company is headquartered in the beautiful “Hometown of Chinese Sea Bass” – Fuding City. Pada bulan Oktober 24, 2017, it was listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) system (kode stok: 871927).
Fang Xiu, Chairman of Minwei Industrial
The fast-paced lifestyle and changes in consumer demand, such as the rise of solo dining and smaller households, have, to some extent, spurred the development of ready-to-eat meals for the C-end market. With the deepening recognition of the “big food concept” and the inherent advantages of marine foods, such as high nutritional value, unique flavors, and a wide variety of options, aquatic ready-to-eat meals are gradually gaining popularity among consumers. Market data shows that in 2022, the scale of China’s aquatic ready-to-eat meal industry reached 104.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.8%. It is expected that by 2026, the market size will reach 257.6 billion yuan. As the aquatic ready-to-eat meal industry enters a “fast track” of development, it also gradually exposes market shortcomings, such as highly homogeneous products and lagging technological innovation, exacerbating industry chaos and competition among enterprises.
Dalam konteks ini, Minwei, a leader in the sea bass breeding field, has achieved outstanding results in the ready-to-eat meal sector within just two years, with a single product surpassing 200 million yuan in sales. Lebih-lebih lagi, with highly competitive products and strategic positioning in the C-end market, the company has rapidly expanded its presence in both domestic and international markets, with products exported to more than a dozen countries and regions. How did Minwei, as a “cross-industry player,” successfully achieve a stunning transformation and upgrade? What long-term plans does the company have for the future?
“China Food Miles” interviewed Fang Xiu, Chairman of Fujian Minwei Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Minwei), to learn about the company’s development history, innovative capacity, and competitive moat.
Riding the Wave: A Sea Bass Breeding Leader Crosses into the Ready-to-Eat Meal Industry
Chairman Fang introduced that Minwei Foods’ parent company, Fujian Minwei Industrial Co., Ltd., didirikan pada 1992 and has a history of 31 bertahun-tahun. Over the past 30 bertahun-tahun, Minwei Industrial has focused on seedling breeding, Akuakultur, pengolahan, and extended industries, mastering numerous industry-leading core technologies and taking critical steps at different stages. When domestic seedling technology was still in its infancy, the company developed sea bass reproductive control and indoor artificial breeding technology, solving the industry’s “bottleneck” problem. During the immature stage of marine aquaculture, the company developed intelligent deep-water anti-wave cages, promoting the digital transformation of the fishing industry. In August 2010, when marine food processing technology was lagging, the company established Fujian Minwei Foods Co., Ltd., specializing in deep processing of marine fish, accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and empowering high-quality industrial development through technological innovation.
Chairman Fang mentioned that at the early stage of Minwei Foods’ establishment, in response to the market’s traditional processing and sales models of fresh and frozen aquatic products, the company pioneered the processing techniques of fish floss and fish jerky, greatly increasing the added value of aquatic products and embarking on the path of deep processing research and development. Di dalam 2021, with the rapid development of ready-to-eat meals and the deepening trend of meal preparation in the catering industry, Minwei seized the opportunity to enter the ready-to-eat meal sector to overcome the market difficulties brought by the pandemic.
Entering the new sector, Minwei Foods fully leveraged its supply chain advantages in aquatic products such as sea bass. Saat ini, the company focuses on sea bass, large yellow croaker, and their deep-processed ready-to-eat meal products and ready-to-eat snacks. These include over 50 produk, such as fish floss, fish jerky, fish collagen peptides, ready-to-eat grilled fish, and shredded fish.
Among these, “fish floss” is Minwei Foods’ star product, mainly made from sea bass, cod, and swordfish, offering a delicate and smooth texture rich in essential amino acids and vitamins. This product is popular both domestically and internationally and is currently exported to 11 countries and regions, including Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.
Another star product is ready-to-eat grilled fish, made from premium Tongjiang sea bass and large yellow croaker. The product’s processing involves modern technology, resulting in tender, beraroma, and highly nutritious fish with high protein content. This product has been highly praised and welcomed by consumers, with single-product sales exceeding 200 million yuan this year.
Innovation-Driven High-Value, High-Quality Development
In a highly competitive market environment, the ability to quickly create star products and establish brand recognition is undoubtedly supported by continuous innovation. Chairman Fang explained that Minwei Foods places great emphasis on technological innovation and independent research and development. The company has established a first-level independent core platform, a second-level key technology platform, and a third-level joint construction platform to gather innovation resources from the marine fish industry chain, attract innovative talents, and carry out technological innovation to provide scientific and technological support and services for industry chain research.
The internal R&D team at Minwei is mainly composed of experts, technicians, and outstanding talents in the deep processing field. The team currently includes 32 R&D personnel, 6 mid-to-senior engineers, 6 assistant engineers, Dan 20 experienced technical personnel.
Externally, Minwei has established the “Minwei Think Tank,” comprising 36 authoritative experts, including Chen Songlin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Guan Changtao, the chief scientist of the National Marine Fish System. The company has also built 16 research platforms, including the Zhangzhou Comprehensive Experiment Station of the National Marine Fish Industry Technology System, the National Society Innovation Service Station, the Fujian Sea Bass Breeding Key Laboratory, the Fuding Sea Bass Science and Technology Courtyard, and the Enterprise Technology Center. Minwei Foods empowers the entire industry chain’s technological research through innovation. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, the company has carried out scientific research collaborations on marine fish breeding, species farming, aquatic product processing, and cold storage preservation technology.
In terms of industry-university-research integration, Minwei Foods collaborates with major universities and research institutes such as Shanghai Ocean University and Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University.
With the support of a strong R&D team and innovative capabilities, Minwei Foods and its products have received dual recognition from the industry and the market. Its “fish floss” has been awarded as a key new product by the Fujian Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, the single champion product of Ningde City’s manufacturing industry, and has won the “Gold Award Product” for 12 consecutive sessions at the China (Fuzhou) Fisheries Expo. The “grilled fish” was awarded the “2022 Fujian Provincial Ready-to-Eat Meal Gold Medal Dish,” and Minwei Foods was recognized as a “Fujian Provincial Ready-to-Eat Meal Leading Enterprise” in June 2023.
Building a Competitive Moat through Comprehensive Strength
How to break through in a rapidly changing market is a core challenge faced by every enterprise. Minwei has built its unique competitive moat through years of solid internal development.
Chairman Fang explained that Minwei has the advantage of a full industry chain. The company has established a full industry chain system covering seedling breeding, Akuakultur, pengolahan, dan penjualan, forming a layout where “aquaculture is the foundation, seed breeding is the focus, and deep processing and ready-to-eat products are the core.” The company adopts a “company + farmer + base” business model, selling seedlings to farmers at fair prices, providing technical guidance and standardization, and signing fish repurchase agreements to ensure farmers’ stable profit margins while maintaining smooth production and sales processes, thus preserving Minwei’s competitive pricing power in the market.
Minwei’s products have quality and differentiation advantages. The company owns a natural harbor suitable for fish breeding and has long-term cooperation with farmers, implementing a 5+1 management model (unified seedlings, unified feed, unified standards, unified technology, unified testing). This approach standardizes operations across the entire industry chain, from seedling and feed supply to cost reduction and technology output, ensuring stable supply channels for raw materials.
In terms of quality and safety management, Minwei implements a “one product, one code” food safety information traceability system and has obtained certifications for national standards management systems, such as ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP, ensuring the safety of products from ocean to table. Chairman Fang highlighted that Minwei’s products have been designated for national leader summits and the Olympics. In September 2017, as the largest fresh supplier in Fujian Province, the company supplied sea bass to the BRICS Xiamen Summit and was recognized as a “Special Supply Base for the National Leaders’ Xiamen Summit.” In February 2022, “boneless sea bass” was designated as a product for the Winter Olympics, and the company’s base was recognized as a “National Food and Nutrition Education Base.”
Minwei Foods integrates its resources to create differentiated product categories by adapting seasoning and quality levels to different scenarios and consumer groups. Misalnya, it offers different seasoning and dish levels based on regional differences (North vs. South), domestic vs. international markets, and online vs. offline sales channels. Selain itu, by focusing on grilled fish as the core product, the company drives the sales of other local agricultural products, such as pairing Fuding betel nut taro with grilled fish to promote more local specialty products.
Minwei possesses core technological advantages. Chairman Fang explained that in seedling breeding, Minwei has mastered the “sea bass reproductive control and indoor artificial seedling breeding technology,” filling a gap in the national sea bass breeding industry. This technology is a core support for Minwei’s superior seed breeding and is currently the leading seedling technology in the industry, with an annual seedling output ranking first in the industry. In aquaculture, Minwei’s anti-wave deep-water cage farming technology uses a new type of floating rectangular intelligent farming cage system that can monitor the environment and automatically feed the fish. In processing, Minwei has developed 15 processing technologies, including those for fish jerky, fish floss, and ready-to-eat grilled fish, capable of processing over 20 types of products.
Envisioning the Future of Ready-to-Eat Meals and Preparing for Challenges
Discussing the future of the ready-to-eat meal industry, Chairman Fang stated that while the B-end market has matured, the C-end market is still in the exploratory stage. Namun, with the diversification of dishes, the convenience of purchasing channels, the development of cold chain logistics, and the increasing consumer awareness of ready-to-eat meals, the C-end is expected to experience significant growth.
Chairman Fang is optimistic about the development prospects of the aquatic ready-to-eat meal segment, particularly the market potential of dishes like pickled fish and grilled fish, which are expanding from chain restaurants to the B-end and from dining establishments to households. The B-end market has a large demand and meets the catering industry’s needs for cost reduction, efficiency, and standardization. Selain itu, the share of group dining and rural chefs is increasing yearly, promoting the rapid development of the ready-to-eat meal market. The B-end and C-end markets must collaborate and drive each other forward to jointly create a bright future for the ready-to-eat meal industry.
Facing future market challenges, Chairman Fang mentioned that Minwei Foods will further strengthen market research, develop new ready-to-eat meal products through precise market positioning to meet the personalized needs of different consumers and consumption scenarios, and actively seek overseas distributors and retailers to establish partnerships. The company plans to establish localized sales and distribution networks in the future to deliver products directly to overseas customers. To address potential production capacity issues, Minwei will actively upgrade its equipment, enhance the intelligence and automation of its production facilities, further reserve factory space, and increase capacity to prepare for the expected boom and in-depth development of the ready-to-eat meal market.

Di acara tersebut, seorang reporter dari Blue Whale Finance memperhatikan bahwa Institut Penelitian Inovasi Pangan Ziyan telah merencanakan beberapa area fungsional, termasuk area pameran perusahaan, area mencicipi produk, bidang penelitian teknologi rasa, area evaluasi sensorik, dan area analisis instrumen. Ziyan Food juga telah mengoptimalkan dan meningkatkan produk R yang sudah ada&D center baik dari segi perangkat lunak maupun perangkat keras, misalnya, dengan membeli serangkaian peralatan pengolahan dan pengujian makanan terkemuka di dalam dan luar negeri serta mendatangkan peneliti rasa profesional dan talenta teknologi tinggi.
Menurut informasi yang tersedia, Ziyan Food adalah produsen makanan rebus berskala besar di Tiongkok, fokus pada R&D, produksi, dan penjualan produk yang direbus. Produk utama perusahaan antara lain “Irisan Paru Suami Istri,“” Ayam Baiwei,” dan “Ayam Tengjiao,” yang berbahan dasar unggas seperti ayam, bebek, daging sapi, babi, serta sayuran, hidangan laut, dan produk kedelai. Produk-produk ini terutama digunakan sebagai lauk pauk saat makan, ditambah dengan konsumsi biasa, dengan merek utamanya adalah “Ziyan.”
Meski memiliki lini produk yang beragam, produk andalan “Irisan Paru Suami Istri” tetap menjadi pendorong penjualan yang kuat. Menurut Ziyan Food's 2023 laporan tengah tahunan, produk segar berkontribusi 86.08% dari pendapatan bisnis utama perusahaan, dengan produk “bintang” “Irisan Paru Suami dan Istri” menghasilkan penjualan sebesar 543 juta yuan, akuntansi untuk 31.59%.
“Kami selalu berusaha menciptakan lebih banyak produk unggulan seperti 'Irisan Paru-Paru Suami Istri' dan 'Ayam Tengjiao'. Misalnya saja., tahun ini kami meluncurkan produk seperti Refreshing Beef, Kaki Babi yang Menyegarkan, Irisan Ayam Bobo, dan Potongan Renyah. Namun sebenarnya sangat menantang untuk mengungguli kedua produk tersebut, karena pelanggan kami biasanya memikirkan Ayam Tengjiao dan Irisan Paru Suami Istri terlebih dahulu, dan kemudian membeli yang lain. Kami telah memutar otak untuk mencoba mengalahkan diri kami sendiri, dan seringkali segala sesuatunya tidak berjalan sesuai rencana, namun kita harus tetap meluncurkan produk dengan semangat,Kata Zhong Huaijun. “Saya sering mengatakan ini seperti bagaimana WeChat melampaui QQ; bisakah kita menciptakan yang lain dan merevolusi diri kita sendiri?”
Dilaporkan bahwa Ziyan Food telah berdiri dalam jangka panjang, kemitraan yang stabil dengan pemasok besar seperti Wens Foodstuff Group, Kelompok Harapan Baru, dan COFCO Group untuk pasokan bahan baku utama seperti ayam utuh, daging sapi, dan produk sampingan bebek. Hal ini memungkinkan perusahaan untuk mendapatkan sumber segar, bahan-bahan berkualitas tinggi dari asal dan, mengandalkan lima basis produksinya, membentuk sistem rantai pasokan menyeluruh dengan jarak pengiriman rantai dingin optimal sebagai radius radiasi, pasokan cepat, dan kesegaran maksimal. Pesanan yang dilakukan pada hari sebelumnya diproduksi pada hari yang sama dan dikirim ke toko pada hari yang sama atau keesokan harinya, menjamin kesegaran produk.
Perlu dicatat bahwa peningkatan rantai pasokan Ziyan Food juga telah mengoptimalkan sisi biayanya. Ziyan Food menyatakan dalam laporan keuangannya bahwa harga bahan baku mendekati kisaran tahun-tahun sebelumnya, dan perusahaan telah memperkuat optimalisasi rantai pasokan, perbaikan proses produksi, dan teknologi yang ditingkatkan, menghasilkan peningkatan laba bersih yang signifikan.
Menurut Ziyan Food's 2023 laporan kuartal ketiga, perusahaan mencapai pendapatan operasional sekitar 882 juta yuan dalam tiga kuartal pertama. Margin laba kotor perusahaan adalah 24.19%, ke atas 6.69 poin persentase dari tahun ke tahun; margin laba bersih adalah 12.06%, ke atas 3.94 poin persentase dari tahun ke tahun. Melihat indikator satu kuartal, pada kuartal ketiga 2023, margin laba kotor perusahaan adalah 29.17%, ke atas 11.07 poin persentase tahun-ke-tahun dan 6.18 poin persentase kuartal-ke-kuartal; margin laba bersih adalah 15.15%, ke atas 5.38 poin persentase tahun-ke-tahun dan 1.67 poin persentase kuartal-ke-kuartal.
Lebih-lebih lagi, memperluas segmen pasar merupakan salah satu strategi peningkatan pendapatan Ziyan Food. Menyusul investasi strategisnya di Lao Han Bian Chicken pada bulan Juni, Ziyan Food mengambil langkah lain pada bulan September dengan berinvestasi secara strategis di Jing Cui Xiang. Ketua Ziyan Food Ge Wuchao menyatakan bahwa ketabahan dan diversifikasi eksplorasi adalah dua aspek pengembangan usaha yang tidak dapat dipisahkan. Ketabahan adalah fondasi perkembangan perusahaan; sejak pendirian perusahaan, kami telah sangat terlibat dalam pasar makanan lauk yang direbus, berkomitmen untuk mengkonsolidasikan posisi terdepan kami di industri. Namun, dengan perubahan lingkungan pasar dan diversifikasi kebutuhan konsumen, kami juga melihat perlunya menjajaki peluang-peluang baru untuk pembangunan berdasarkan landasan yang sudah ada. Perusahaan terus menjajaki jalur pengembangan yang terdiversifikasi dengan meluncurkan beberapa sub-merek, seperti “Daging Sapi Feng Si Niang Qiaojiao,“”Shaguozhuangyuan,” dan “Jiaoyan Jiaoyu,” mencakup kategori seperti santapan santai dan makanan rebus santai, serta kemitraan strategis dengan merek makanan seperti Lao Han Bian Chicken dan Jing Cui Xiang. Strategi ini membuka peluang pertumbuhan yang lebih luas bagi perusahaan. Melalui tata letak strategis yang terdiversifikasi, perusahaan dapat dengan cepat merespons perubahan pasar, meningkatkan daya saing secara keseluruhan, dan semakin mengkonsolidasikan posisinya sebagai pemimpin industri untuk mencapai pembangunan jangka panjang.
Di sisi lain, dengan kuatnya momentum pemulihan industri restoran, persaingan juga menjadi semakin ketat. Ge Wuchao mengakui hal itu setelah pandemi, permintaan konsumen telah berubah, dengan peningkatan fokus pada keamanan dan kesehatan pangan. Selain itu, seiring pulihnya daya beli konsumen, ini mungkin menarik lebih banyak pesaing ke pasar. Karena itu, Ziyan Food perlu memperkuat upaya pembangunan merek dan pemasaran untuk meningkatkan pengaruh merek dan pangsa pasar guna mempertahankan posisinya sebagai pemimpin industri. Produk penguatan lebih lanjut R&D dan kontrol kualitas untuk memberikan keamanan, produk yang lebih sehat dan dapat memenuhi kebutuhan konsumen dengan lebih baik sangatlah penting.
Baru-baru ini, Talis Biomedis, Perusahaan yang berbasis di A.S. yang berspesialisasi dalam pengujian penyakit menular point-of-care, announced that it has begun exploring strategic alternatives and will be cutting approximately 90% of its workforce to preserve cash flow.
In a statement, Talis said that the company’s Board of Directors has appointed a special committee composed of independent directors to consider various strategic alternatives, including equity or debt financing alternatives, acquisitions, mergers or reverse mergers, asset divestitures, licensing, or other strategic transactions. TD Cowen will serve as the financial advisor during this review.
The company has not set a timeline for completing the strategic process and stated that it does not intend to provide updates on the progress unless deemed appropriate or necessary.
Talis also plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 90% and consolidate its operations into a single site in Chicago. Selain itu, the company will implement further cost-saving measures to reduce cash burn.
Talis announced its third-quarter financial results, reporting revenue of $140,000 for the quarter, down from $796,000 a year earlier. Grant revenue was $64,000, and product revenue totaled $76,000 for the quarter. The net loss for the third quarter of 2023 adalah $15.7 juta (approximately RMB 113 juta), dibandingkan dengan $26 million in the same period last year. The company had $88 million in cash and equivalents at the end of the quarter.
After raising $254 million in its initial public offering in 2021, Talis has faced a series of setbacks. Last year, the company cut 35% of its workforce and announced that it would halt the commercialization of its COVID-19 test to focus on opportunities in the women’s and sexual health sectors. At the beginning of 2022, due to manufacturing issues and inefficiencies greater than 10%, Talis announced that the launch of its Talis One molecular diagnostics system would be delayed. The Talis One system uses real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology for DNA targets and real-time reverse transcription LAMP technology for RNA targets.
Baru-baru ini, Ziyan Foods released its third-quarter earnings report, providing a detailed overview of the company’s revenue and growth rates. Menurut data, for the first three quarters of 2023, the company’s revenue was approximately 2.816 billion yuan, representing a 2.68% kenaikan tahun-ke-tahun. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was about 341 juta yuan, ke atas 50.03% tahun ke tahun. In the third quarter alone, net profit attributable to shareholders was 162 juta yuan, marking a 44.77% increase compared to the previous year. These growth figures offer deeper insights into Ziyan Foods’ development.
The continuous growth achieved by Ziyan Foods is closely linked to its strategic initiatives, particularly in sales channels. With the trend towards branding and chain operations and the increasing demand for modern information technology in corporate management, a single direct-sales model is no longer the company’s primary choice. Sebagai akibat, Ziyan Foods has gradually transitioned to a two-tier sales network model, involving “Company-Distributor-Stores.” The company has established franchise stores in key provincial and municipal regions through distributors, substituting the roles of the original management team with distributors. This two-tier network reduces the time and cost associated with developing and managing terminal franchise stores, facilitating cost reduction, efficiency enhancement, and rapid business expansion.
In addition to the distributor model, Ziyan Foods retains 29 direct-operated stores in cities such as Shanghai and Wuhan. These stores are used for store image design, consumer feedback collection, accumulating management experience, and training. Unlike franchise stores, Ziyan Foods maintains control over direct-operated stores, conducting unified financial accounting and benefiting from store profits while covering store expenses.
Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, the rise of e-commerce and the rapid development of the takeaway culture have also provided direction for Ziyan Foods. Seizing the opportunity of rapid industry growth, the company has quickly expanded its presence on e-commerce platforms, creating a diversified, multi-dimensional marketing network that includes e-commerce, supermarkets, and group buying models. This strategy caters to contemporary consumers’ diverse supply needs and further accelerates brand development. Misalnya, Ziyan Foods has launched official flagship stores on e-commerce platforms such as Tmall and JD.com, and has also joined takeaway platforms like Meituan and Ele.me. By customizing promotional activities for different regional consumer scenarios, Ziyan Foods enhances brand empowerment. Selain itu, the company collaborates with major O2O fresh food e-commerce platforms like Hema and Dingdong Maicai, providing precision processing and supply services for well-known chain restaurants.
Looking ahead, Ziyan Foods is committed to continuously strengthening its sales channels, keeping pace with modern developments, and updating its sales methods. The company aims to deliver more high-quality products to consumers, ensuring a more convenient shopping and dining experience.
