In late March, the largest in China.

The rate of return on acquisitions is not as good as that in China.

Louis Weedon Hennessy, the French richest man, Bernard Arnaud, bought Italy's jeweler Bvlgari for 3 billion 700 million euros.

Investor evaluation, then the Tiffany of the United States and Burberry of the United Kingdom may also become the stuff of their pocket, but such foolish behavior is far less than investing the surplus capital in the world's hottest Chinese market.

Because of the low input costs, the luxury goods stores in China assume that the sales margin of each store is 2 million euros and the operating profit margin is 15%, and the marginal return on investment will reach 20% to 25%.

In contrast, Burberry, whose market value has risen to 5 billion pounds, has a pre tax investment return of only 4.5% in the first year, even without a premium.

The current trend indeed corresponds to this statement.

It is reported that almost all the luxury brands that landed in China gained two digit growth last year.

McKinsey predicts that by 2015, luxury sales in the Chinese market will reach US $27 billion, thus surpassing Japan and becoming the world's largest luxury market.

Following the construction of traditional outlets, at the end of November last year, GiorgioArmani announced that it would launch e-commerce channel emporioarmani.cn in China, the first high-end fashion brand launched online in China.

At the same time, it also announced the landing of China's Yoox group, the online retailer selling global luxury brands, running 23 single brand official flagship stores and two multi brand online stores. Emporioarmani.cn is one of them.

According to the company's top executives, 3-4 brands of online stores including Valentino (Valentino), Pu Qi (EmilioPucci), Du Jia Dolce&Gabbana and Zegna (ErmenegildoZegna) will also enter China in 2011.

Among them, the proportion of luxury consumers in China under 35 is 45%, while in Western Europe, this figure is only 28%.

Based on this huge market, Gucci, Velentino and other brands also condescended to appear in iPad downloadable APP software, while LV appeared on Sina micro-blog.

Ranked first in three years

However, although the "touches" are the trend of the times, most luxury brands are still cautious about this channel, and regard physical stores as the focus of China's development, especially the two or three tier cities.

Comparatively speaking, China's local luxury online stores are more active.

"In the environment of consumption upgrading, luxury is indeed a good investment direction.

The e-commerce itself is also in the hot stage, the platform class Taobao occupies the market share, and the later is more difficult to intervene.

But in the vertical platform, after the popularity of the diamond shop, it is now the turn of clothing and luxury goods.

There is a high threshold for the management of luxury goods, and once the advantages are formed, it is not easy for the latter to imitate it.
