However, at present, the allocation of financial resources and functional distribution of the Group's headquarters and various sectors are restricted by a large number of transactional and operational basic work, the financial support for business strategy and in-depth business development is lacking, the financial core value is insufficient, and the financial management system cannot adapt to the Group's strategic requirements and the rapidly changing market pattern. For this reason, the financial sharing service center is the key for China Merchants to quickly complete the grand transformation from the control headquarters to the platform headquarters. Only through the establishment of the financial sharing service center can we break through the bottleneck in the group's transformation.
