“Profound Industry Operations + Industrial Investment” to Foster New Growth Impetus

Since March this year, Fosun's subsidiaries have actively assisted Shanghai to defeat the epidemic. They have also dived deep into the potential of industry operations to accumulate new growth momentum.

Currently, Yuyuan Inc. has fully resumed operations. As Shanghai’s first cultural tourism landmark project to resume offline operations, Yuyuan Tourist Mart and many time-honored brands at the Yuyuan Tourist Mart have reopened to reunite with Shanghai citizens since 28 May. Up to now, all 205 stores at the Yuyuan Tourist Mart have resumed business operations. During the 515 Fosun Family Day, Yuyuan Inc.'s brands boosted consumption with various marketing campaigns and promotions, and it is estimated that nearly RMB100 million worth of coupons and vouchers were distributed. In addition, Yuyuan Inc.'s Jewelry & Fashion, Foods & Dining, Beauty & Health and other industrial groups plan to launch innovative brands or products in the near future, bringing new impetus for growth in the post-epidemic era.

Capitalizing on the Shanghai’s “21-measure” and “50-measure” policies to help enterprises resume work and production, Fosun's subsidiaries such as Fosun Tourism Group are also making full efforts to shortly launch a number of new projects that were developed during the epidemic.

While deepening its industry operations continuously, Fosun has also created some highlights in industrial investment.
