According to Suning, the company currently has over 1,600 stores nationwide, in addition to online sales channels, over 100 million members, and mature logistics and post-sales systems. By cooperating with Suning, Meizu will be able to cover full customer groups in a short period of time. In the future, Suning's O2O channel will also become a strategic channel for Meizu.
