The company said that in the second half of the year it will gradually push forward the rollout of new energy brands and channel outlets, and will improve operating gross margin by raising the proportion of high-margin models and new energy products in new car sales, relying on a standardized full-chain self-operated used car system, and promoting the transformation of after-sales services toward a dual-track model that stabilizes the traditional fuel vehicle base while expanding into new energy growth. In the fine chemicals segment, the company has been deeply engaged in the pigment industry for more than thirty years and is an authorized distributor for several leading international brands, with its sales network focused on the two core markets of East China and South China. Going forward, it will deepen strategic cooperation with top-tier customers and expand its base of small and medium-sized growth-oriented enterprise customers.
