The decision to lease premises, interviewed experts of the real estate market associate with the strengthening of the company's position on the Russian market in connection with the departure of European and American brands.

It owns 122 production sites, its network of specialized household appliances stores has more than 3,300 outlets, according to the group's website. In Russia, the company has about 80 branded stores of household appliances.[2]

A similar figure is 6500 rubles per 1 sq. m - quotes the director of "Ricci|Warehouses" Dmitry Gerastovsky. Thus, annually the warehouse will cost Haier 360-390 million rubles. The choice of object seems justified to consultants. It is located in the south direction, which is in demand from the point of view of logistics, about 38% of all transactions in the warehouse market fall on it, said Bumagin.

For the deep localization of a foreign enterprise, Haier Corporation will use a special innovative business model "Ren Dan He Yi," which is based on the unification of employees and end consumers.

Haier's success has already been adopted by businesses in the United States, New Zealand, Japan, Italy and other countries.
