TOKYO -- Japanese department store chain Takashimaya will close its flagship store in Shanghai in August and halt its operations in China, Nikkei has learned.

東京日經(jīng)新聞(Nikkei)獲悉，日本百貨連鎖店高島屋(Takashimaya)將于8月關(guān)閉在上海的旗艦店，并停止在中國(guó)的運(yùn)營(yíng)。

The store has been losing money and the Osaka-based company decided it would be difficult to turn the business around as private consumption has slowed in China amid the trade war with the U.S.

這家店一直在虧損，這家總部位于大阪的公司認(rèn)為，由于中國(guó)與美國(guó)的貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)導(dǎo)致私人消費(fèi)放緩，很難扭轉(zhuǎn)局面。

The retailer will hold talks with local authorities on the store's closure. The focus of Takashimaya's overseas operations will shift to Southeast Asia, a region the company sees as more promising.

該零售商將與當(dāng)?shù)卣完P(guān)閉該商店舉行會(huì)談。高島屋海外業(yè)務(wù)的重心將轉(zhuǎn)移到東南亞，該公司認(rèn)為東南亞地區(qū)更有前景。

Takashimaya is also considering opening another outlet in Vietnam. The store in Singapore is doing well, generating some 20% of the company's operating profit. The Bangkok outlet opened in the fall of 2018.

高島屋也在考慮在越南開(kāi)設(shè)另一家分店。這家位于新加坡的門(mén)店經(jīng)營(yíng)狀況良好，約占公司營(yíng)業(yè)利潤(rùn)的20%。這家曼谷分店于2018年秋季開(kāi)業(yè)。

The company's goal is to turn shoppers into repeat customers at the three Southeast Asia locations.

該公司的目標(biāo)是在東南亞的三個(gè)地區(qū)將顧客變成回頭客。

Article strikes me as this is just a business failure and the trade war is a convenient excuse. When LV leaves, then really worry.

文章讓我很吃驚，因?yàn)檫@不過(guò)就是一個(gè)生意失敗的例子而已，貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)只是一個(gè)冠冕堂皇的借口而已。當(dāng)LV離開(kāi)后，那才會(huì)更讓人擔(dān)心。

That’s probably true, a lot of foreign companies just get China wrong. However, many could also legitimately argue that it’s not a level playing field.

那或許沒(méi)錯(cuò)， 外國(guó)公司只是誤解了中國(guó)。但是很多人可能會(huì)說(shuō)：中國(guó)不是一個(gè)平等的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)市場(chǎng)。

They (Chinese building companies like Vanke, Wanda, et al) oversaturated and overbuilt with shopping malls. There are so many that while occupancy from stores seem full, you can often count the amount of people not there for work in the massive places on 2 hands. This was before the trade war. I don't think this brand has a flagship level of desirability to the Chinese and would probably have benefited more from an online presence. Chinese love spending, but let's face it, the GDP per capita isn't high enough to support a bajillion of high end, high priced brands. The trade war just helps to trim the fat more quickly as people are a bit more worried to make frivolous purchases. I'm sure those that do are sticking with the go to brands.

他們（中國(guó)人建立了一些像萬(wàn)科、萬(wàn)達(dá)的的公司。）建立了很多購(gòu)物中心，市場(chǎng)已經(jīng)基本上被他們占領(lǐng)了。這些公司還擁有很多商店，你經(jīng)常能夠在2hands的這些大型商點(diǎn)里看到很多顧客。這一切在貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)前就有了。我不認(rèn)為這個(gè)品牌擁有對(duì)中國(guó)人具有吸引力的旗艦店，該品牌從線上銷(xiāo)售商獲得的利潤(rùn)比較多。中國(guó)人喜歡消費(fèi)，但是我們必須看到的現(xiàn)實(shí)是：中國(guó)的人均GDP還不夠高，還不足以消費(fèi)非常高端、價(jià)格非常高的品牌產(chǎn)品。貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)只會(huì)讓讓人們更焦慮地去過(guò)多消費(fèi)。我認(rèn)為中國(guó)人非常執(zhí)著于品牌產(chǎn)品。

It's the Field of Dreams (if you build it, they will come aka buy investment property) model and almost always accompanied by housing nearby by the same developer. Oh, I'm not talking about empty at peak times. As a dad, right when school ends those Fundo kids indoor play parks are like a scene out of Mad Max starring midgets.

Haha, all those shiny luxury malls always end up filled up with pee whistling, forever unwashed and badly dressed grandmas as a result; they’ll go there just for the free aircon and a chair but buy bugger all. Especially if there’s a Decathlon in there, they’re just using it as a free playpark for the grandchildren. Yet, local customs dictate that you can’t drive them away from the place.

哈哈，所有那些熠熠生輝的奢侈品商店總是充斥著違和骯臟的場(chǎng)景，老奶奶們看起來(lái)從不洗衣服或穿著簡(jiǎn)陋，事實(shí)上，她們來(lái)這種地方僅僅只是因?yàn)槊赓M(fèi)的空調(diào)和座椅，除此之外就買(mǎi)一個(gè)漢堡。尤其如果有一個(gè)迪卡儂商店的話，她們會(huì)把這里當(dāng)作供她們孫子孫女的游樂(lè)場(chǎng)，并且，當(dāng)?shù)氐牧?xí)慣要求你不能把她們趕出去。

They probably all have multiple bank accounts with savings spread across them because they’re always fearful that one of the big banks could suddenly collapse. Of course, that means offers for multiple credit cards and other loan services; not even including the shadier financial services that some may have to resort to.
But all those well dressed young ladies with the latest iPhone just need to find a rich old guy in a few years or do some secret hooker work, so it’s all good right?

但是，所有那些穿著華麗、持有最新款的iPhone手機(jī)的女士們需要在很短的幾年內(nèi)找到一個(gè)富有的老家伙或者做些賣(mài)淫的工作。我說(shuō)得對(duì)嗎？

Even in Shanghai (yes, not real China) it seems like there's some rule that some shops have to completely tear down and rebuild every 2-3 years just to provide construction/renovation crews with a job.

Those Lawsons/711s/Meiyijias just pop up anywhere and kill the shitty local mom and pop shop nearby that kept some migrant workers there for a few decades. Although I have little sympathy because those shops were shit and deserved to die, especially if the big players start to dominate in every field.

That sounds about right in general. Though it seems like the city government itself is keen enough on stamping out anything that might possibly give a neighborhood a unique character.
