In the latest overall ranking of world 188bet online sports betting groups published by "HOTELS" magazine，Huazhu relies on 5,618 hotels、536,876 rooms (as of December 31, 2019)，Ranked 9th。

In single 188bet online sports betting brand ranking，Hanting, Huazhu’s leading budget 188bet online sports betting brand, ranks 4th in the global 188bet online sports betting single brand list，Increased one position compared to 2018。

Huazhu’s leading mid-range 188bet online sports betting brand in China has 831 hotels in the whole season、104,5.21 million rooms ranked 25th，Increased 10 places compared to 2018 ranking。

Over the past ten years，Huazhu is one of the few 188bet online sports betting groups in China that has stable operations and maintains rapid growth all year round。2017 Huazhu M&A of Orange Crystal、Launch of mid- to high-end 188bet online sports betting brand “Manxin”，Started the breakthrough of Huazhu in the direction of mid-to-high-end 188bet online sports betting brand；2018，Huazhu completed the strategic acquisition of the domestic boutique resort 188bet online sports betting brand Huajiantang，A high-end brand that marks Huazhu’s more proactive approach to the 188bet online sports betting industry；November 2019，Huazhu acquires 100% shares of Deutsche 188bet online sports betting Group for 700 million euros，Taking steps towards international development。The epidemic that broke out in early 2020，Let Huazhu re-examine the development potential of the domestic regional market。

Recently，Chairman of Huazhu Group、Huazhu Group CEO Ji Qi emphasized when referring to the “domestic cycle”，In the current domestic and international situation full of uncertainties，Huazhu’s strategy must be resolutely consistent with the central government—focusing heavily on China, a very large market。He pointed out，“Treat China as the whole world，China is done，Huazhu is strong。”President of Huazhu Group、Huazhu China CEO Jin Hui put forward a very important direction of thinking in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald，In the post-epidemic period，Overseas development encounters bottlenecks now，How to treat "China (market) as the world"？How to deeply explore the Chinese market、Relying on the rapid development of the Chinese market？He pointed out，Make the Chinese market a world-scale one，Bringing the best 188bet online sports betting brands in the world、Management、Technology，Get the Chinese market，This is actually a kind of international development in disguise。

Chain, tangible 188bet online sports betting and intangible 188bet online sports betting value

In Jin Hui’s view，Chainization of the 188bet online sports betting industry is an irreversible trend。This year is the 15th anniversary of the establishment of Huazhu，Over the past 15 years，China’s 188bet online sports betting chain operations have “annihilated” all domestic three-star hotels。But looking at the degree of chainization in China’s 188bet online sports betting market，In terms of the entire category，The coverage is only about 20%。Jinhui estimate，It is very likely that more than 90% of hotels in China’s 188bet online sports betting industry will be chained in the future，This means that more independent hotels will be replaced by chain hotels。

Compared with independent hotels with weak risk resistance，188bet online sports betting chain represented by Huazhu，Can be based on clearer industry big data、Powerful supply chain system and digital platform，Adjust strategies as soon as the epidemic breaks out、Scheduling resources、Actively fight against the epidemic。These are advantages that independent hotels cannot match。

Same，Compared to independent hotels，In addition to responding more quickly to the epidemic, 188bet online sports betting chains，Can also assume more brand responsibility and social responsibility。In the past 200+ days，Under the premise of ensuring the safety of employees and customers，Huazhu sticks to business，Having served millions of medical staff during the epidemic，Government personnel and guests in medical isolation。The miracle of zero cross-infection between store employees and guests，These are difficult for independent hotels to copy。

In the post-epidemic economic recovery period，Chain hotels also recover faster than independent hotels。As of now，99% of 188bet online sports betting’s stores are open，The occupancy rate also showed a "√"-shaped recovery as described in the company's financial report，The overall occupancy rate has returned to about 85% of the same period in history。

As inter-provincial travel gradually resumes，If you ask a traveler who travels across provinces，Would you choose to stay in a cheaper small 188bet online sports betting or a big brand 188bet online sports betting chain，I believe most travelers will choose more standardized services、Cleaner and more hygienic、Stay safer、A chain 188bet online sports betting with a better reputation。Chain brand，Very helpful for acquiring customers and negotiating prices。High visibility of the 188bet online sports betting brand，High conversion rate，These are incomparable to independent hotels。

Investors with investment intention，After seeing the stark contrast between chain hotels and independent hotels in their ability to cope with the epidemic，We will also choose more trustworthy 188bet online sports betting chain brands for investment。Independent hotels face higher operating costs，And chain hotels through chainization、Scale、Technical empowerment，Can make the original high-cost operation of a single store shared，Improve operational efficiency，Correspondingly, its cost decreases。It is worth mentioning，Huazhu as a group chain、Intensification、Efficiency、Branding、A platform-based leading company in the 188bet online sports betting industry，its powerful supply chain support center，You can control the 188bet online sports betting cost to the lowest，Standard engineering system，It allows investors to make profits from 188bet online sports betting construction to opening a store in the shortest possible time；Compared with other 188bet online sports betting chain brands，Huazhu adheres to the "direct sales + franchise" operating model，The highest RevPAR for a single room occupancy has been far ahead of its peers for 12 years。

Talk about internationalization from another angle，The incremental dividends contained 188bet online sports betting sinking market

During the epidemic，Third and fourth tier cities have demonstrated strong economic resilience。With the decrease of international customers，188bet online sports betting in third- and fourth-tier cities have a large number of local customers，On the contrary, we are at the forefront of industry recovery。

Jin Hui thinks，Huazhu will become a world-class 188bet online sports betting group in the future，We must deeply cultivate China to achieve “thousands of cities and thousands of stores”，That is, in the Chinese market，Huazhu must use its own capabilities and advantages to take root in China、Sinking，Thoughts to meet the needs of a large number of county-level cities in China。Huazhu’s goal is to open Huazhu stores to every county！

As of October 2019，China has 2,845 county-level administrative districts，As long as one Huazhu 188bet online sports betting is opened in each county，Huazhu will have 2 more,845 stores;Open 2 stores，That’s 5,690 homes。Combined with the rapid development of urbanization，In the 188bet online sports betting industry，三、Fourth-tier cities contain unimaginable incremental dividends，To really seize the bonus，You can’t sit in the cloud，But we need to understand it from a more "down-to-earth" attitude、Go and seek、To capture。

Huazhu becomes another front for world-class hotels，It is a breakthrough in the mid-to-high end。Past，Huazhu acquires Huajiantang through acquisition、High-end brands such as Deutsche 188bet online sports betting Group，At the same time, Huazhu also spares no effort to build its own mid-to-high-end brand，For example Xiyue，These measures fully demonstrate Huazhu’s willingness and determination to achieve breakthroughs in mid- to high-end 188bet online sports betting brands。

The trend of intelligence is accelerating, and the technological awareness is at the forefront 188bet online sports betting times

The impact of the epidemic on the 188bet online sports betting industry is self-evident，But there are often unexpected "opportunities" hidden behind it。In Jin Hui’s view，The biggest opportunity for Huazhu is that contactless services and intelligent equipment are recognized and used by more consumers。He said，“After this epidemic，Customers have received awareness training，Technology can also well meet the requirements of the government and public security system for social governance。

Opportunities only favor those who are prepared。A single piece of equipment for Huazhu today，Does not exist alone，It is highly embedded in the entire information system and cloud service platform built by Huazhu。Huazhu Club contains 1.Dynamic data system of 500 million members，Can fully support the precise operation of 188bet online sports betting brands；Contactless service creates self-check-in online and offline closed-loop services；Easy series system software continues to improve store efficiency；Intelligent customer service Chinese primary school AI，Provide precise and fast services to guests。Take "contactless service" as an example，The "Yi Shopkeeper" service system created by Huazhu has been used more than 20.6 million times，The average customer delivery demand of "188bet online sports betting robot" reaches 121 orders/day、225km/month，While doing a good job in preventing and fighting the epidemic, it has greatly reduced the labor cost of the store，Improved operational efficiency。What lies behind these digital “soft powers” ​​is Huazhu’s 15-year technical reserve。

Of course，As the market matures，The era of luck in the 188bet online sports betting industry has passed。The epidemic has brought an unprecedented opportunity to reshuffle the cards，Those who can still stay on the battlefield，It must be those who are overcoming obstacles，Strong team that continues to create value for investors and residents。Huazhu can only stay awake enough，Talent is in constant change，Get long-term vitality。Looking at the 188bet online sports betting industry around the world，The 15-year-old Huazhu Ruyi and vigorous “boy”，About to climb new heights。
