HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Taozhu New Creation Bureau, the robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), is accelerating its entry into core consumer scenarios. On April 30, Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s Beijing apm store officially commenced operations; on May 1, its Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store subsequently made its debut. The coordinated launch of two stores in prime commercial districts not only expands the brand’s offline consumer touchpoints, but also marks the further extension of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics industry strategy from the investment and industrial ends to the mass consumer market.Built around the brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” Taozhu New Creation Bureau targets robotics technology experiences and future lifestyle consumption scenarios. It has created a multifunctional smart living space that integrates robotics displays, immersive experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, after-sales maintenance services, and industrial ecosystem exchange. At the Beijing apm store, demonstrations such as robotic dog walking displays, companion robot Q&A sessions, and smart wearable trials transform cutting-edge technology from static showcases into real consumer experiences, encouraging consumers to move from “watching technology” to “trying technology” and ultimately “buying technology.”Following the Beijing apm store’s role in opening up consumer touchpoints through immersive interaction, the launch of the Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store further introduces this experience model into high-frequency commercial scenarios, amplifying its value in commercial conversion and scenario validation. Located in the core CBD area, Hopson One benefits from high foot traffic, a young consumer demographic, and strong family consumption frequency. This collaboration is not merely a single-store opening, but a cross-sector upgrade between a commercial district operator and a robotics industry platform. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interaction experiences, holiday-limited promotions, science education courses, and themed events, the two parties aim to create a new traffic engine for “commercial district + technology.” For the commercial district, Taozhu New Creation Bureau can help generate buzz, aggregate foot traffic, and extend customer dwell time. For robotics companies, it provides channels for real user feedback, market validation, sales conversion, and after-sales reach, supporting the transition of cutting-edge robotics products from exhibitions and laboratories into high-frequency consumer scenarios.From the perspective of Shoucheng Holdings’ overall robotics footprint, the significance of Taozhu New Creation Bureau lies in completing the commercialization loop. In recent years, Shoucheng Holdings has continued to deepen its presence across embodied intelligence, humanoid robots, medical robots, service robots, and other fields. Its investment portfolio now includes a number of companies such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Narwal Robotics, Xinghaitu, Songyan Dynamics, Weici Technology, and R-robot. The robotics industry is currently at a critical stage of moving from technological breakthroughs toward scaled applications. Companies generally require support from real-world scenarios, sales channels, user data, and after-sales systems. Taozhu New Creation Bureau is therefore assuming the dual role of both an “industrial outlet” and a “consumer gateway.”More notably, leveraging its accumulated capabilities in infrastructure asset operations, industrial space management, fund investment, and the REITs ecosystem, Shoucheng Holdings is building an “investment + application + consumption” industrial model. At the front end, the company secures high-quality robotics enterprises through fund investments; at the midstream level, it promotes technology deployment through industrial spaces and application scenarios; and at the back end, it reaches users and forms a closed loop of transactions and services through consumer channels such as Taozhu New Creation Bureau.For the capital market, the expansion of Taozhu New Creation Bureau offers a new window through which to assess the execution quality of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics strategy. The long-term value of the robotics industry depends not only on technological advancement, but also on whether products can enter real-life scenarios, generate stable orders, and support sustained repeat purchases. As diversified scenarios such as Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing apm, and Hopson One are gradually rolled out, Shoucheng Holdings is advancing its robotics ecosystem from “investing early and investing accurately” toward “selling effectively, being practically usable, and delivering ongoing services.” Market participants noted that Taozhu New Creation Bureau is expected to become one of the closest links to cash flow, users, and scenarios within Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics industry layout.  Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Commercial competition in the robotics industry is shifting from technology showcases to real-world consumer applications. Taozhu New Creation Bureau, a robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), has recently accelerated its rollout in Beijing’s core commercial districts. Following the official opening of its Beijing apm store on April 30, the brand’s Chaoyang Hopson One outlet also debuted on May 1, further strengthening the company’s offline robotics experience network.At the Beijing apm store, Taozhu New Creation Bureau continues to embody its brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” creating an immersive smart living space that integrates product showcases, hands-on experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, and maintenance services. Consumers can interact up close with humanoid robots, companion robots, smart wearable devices, and other products, experiencing how robotics technology is moving from being merely “watchable” to genuinely “usable” across scenarios such as household service assistance, entertainment interaction, and smart living trials.The Chaoyang Hopson One store further enhances Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s commercial appeal within high-traffic retail districts. Centered on the theme of “empowering commerce through technology and driving consumption through innovation,” the store will introduce products from ecosystem partners including Unitree Robotics, Booster Robotics, Vbot, and others. Its product offerings cover quadruped robotic dogs, educational programming robots, smart wearables, smart home devices, and other intelligent equipment. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interactions, science education courses, themed events, and holiday-limited activities, the store aims to attract young consumers, parent-child families, and technology enthusiasts, while converting experiential engagement into consumption. It is positioned as a benchmark project for robotics technology consumption experiences and is expected to support the upgrade of traditional commercial districts into integrated “technology + commerce” scenarios.From the perspective of its Beijing footprint, Taozhu New Creation Bureau has now covered locations including Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing apm, and Chaoyang Hopson One, forming a multi-dimensional robotics consumption network that connects industrial landmarks, transportation hubs, and core commercial districts. Shougang Park serves as a venue for industrial showcase and technology experience, the airport store reaches high-mobility traveler groups, while Beijing apm and Hopson One tap into core urban retail consumption scenarios. Together, these locations form the front-end platform for showcasing, experiencing, and selling Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics products.Meanwhile, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is also promoting nationwide replicability. The brand previously made its debut in Chengdu’s Chunxi Road commercial district, leveraging a key consumption landmark in Southwest China to test a consumer pathway combining immersive interaction, on-site experience, and instant purchase. As the brand expands into more core commercial districts in major cities, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is expected to replicate its Beijing model across the national market.For Shoucheng Holdings, Taozhu New Creation Bureau will further complete its robotics commercialization value chain. The company invests in high-quality robotics enterprises at the front end, introduces products into diversified scenarios such as industrial parks, airports, and commercial districts at the midstream level, and completes a closed loop of experience, sales, maintenance, and services through offline stores at the back end. As the robotics industry enters a phase of accelerated application deployment, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is becoming Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics consumption gateway closest to users, orders, and cash flow.
