"Liu Yan has publicly stated that" only by seizing the share can we ensure that Skyworth's share is not lost or even expanded in a market without growth. ”

As with Skyworth, the traditional TV brand will not easily cede share to the hand. In order to intercept music, millet with a few models with their own multiple models of competition, the traditional TV brand to take the line through the son brand and music, millet rivalry. Tcl and Archie Art, Mango TV launched tv+ TV, Skyworth son brand cool TV and Haier Mooka, Konka KKTV.
