Wang Jianlin, chairman of Wanda Group, said in an interview with the media earlier that Wanda Department Store suffered a loss because of the eight regulations and the impact of e-commerce on the one hand, and the poor overall department store sector on the other. In addition, the most important issue was the internal management's problems. The "iron hand" Wang Jianlin even gave Wanda department store in 2 years, is about to reach the end of 2015 to achieve profitability schedule.
