This year, Dynasty has continued to focus on brand and product upgrades, sales and marketing reforms, and brand promotion. In terms of product strategy, the Group is further advancing its "5+4+N product strategy", in which "5" represents the five key product lines, namely the air dry series, seven-year reserve series, merlot series, classic series and best-selling series, to achieve the goal of full coverage across all mainstream price segments; "4" refers to the four dominant categories i.e. dry red wines, dry white wines, brandy and sparkling wines, to vertically increase the market share; and "N" stands for the development of various customized products to meet the diversified consumption needs of consumers in China.
