The retail sector experienced a significant 154% year-over-year increase in transaction volume, reaching 1385 units, marking five consecutive quarters of robust growth exceeding 140%. Inventory turnover remained stable at approximately Ed days, reflecting efficient operations.

The successful model is being replicated in Zhezhi, with plans for further expansion across central China, capitalizing on the moderating new car market and increasing used car demand.

The company reported a significant increase in retail and wholesale vehicle sales, with retail revenue up 87% year over year and 31% quarter over quarter. Despite a decline in average selling price due to a shift towards more affordable inventory, the strong growth in transaction volume drove overall revenue expansion.

The dialogue forecasts a 51% year-over-year reduction, with Q3 2025 retail transaction volume expected between 13,005 to 14,000 units, marking over 130% growth. Revenue is projected from 830 million RD to 860 million RD.

It highlights the financial requirements and break-even timeline, expressing confidence in raising capital to support expansion. The success of the Wuhan Super store is noted, with inquiries into the specific measures contributing to its rapid ramp-up compared to previous locations.

The company's refined digital business management system, honed over four years, enables quick replication and benefits from a self-reinforcing flywheel effect. With standardized processes and an established talent development system, the management team's experience accelerates production and sales execution, while the talent development cycle shortens, enhancing operational efficiency.
