There are also links to cities where Red Star Macalline has branches in Shanghai, Beijing and Nanjing. At first glance, it really looks like a model. In addition, there are Chengwaicheng Furniture Flagship Store, Beijing Jimei Home Furnishings (Xiamen Store), Dongfangjiayuan Sanitary Ware Flagship Store, etc. These names sound very bluffing. After verification by reporters and the store, they are all confirmed to be copycat versions.

The other party replied: We are in Nantong, a separate store. >>Case 2 Telling the truth after soliciting customers During an unannounced visit, the reporter found an online store called Red Star Macalline Outlet Store on Taobao. When the reporter communicated with the store owner online, he asked: Are you an online store opened by Red Star Macalline Home Furnishing Store ? The owner replied, our products are in Shunde, and there is a physical store in Hongxing, so the name is given to remind reporters not to misunderstand. Reporter's comment: The online store in the above case is quite honest, and can admit its true identity in the face of consumer inquiries.
