According to the agreements, both parties will cooperate in the building of "Internet Plus", which involves the integration of the Internet with traditional industries through online platforms and IT technology, strengthening information sharing and expanding mutual cultural exchange.

In March this year, a similar pilot household appliance logistics program, initiated by CRC and Haier Group, was launched in major cities across the country.

"Taking cooperation with Haier Group as an example, CRC will make full use of its advantages in coverage, transportation, goods storage, delivery time and price," said a CRC director, adding that they will continue to carry out in-depth cooperation with large and medium-sized household appliance enterprises, striving to realize greater logistic efficiency, a broader scope of business cooperation, richer service and lower costs.
