夏说英语新闻晨读 第444期:瑞幸咖啡 以快制胜

 本期内容：

Luckin Coffee, a Chinese chain that has become the country's first coffee shop valued at $1bn, says it is not worried about profits as it moves to challenge US rival Starbucks' dominant¹ position in the country's fast-growing market. Starbucks had an 80 per cent share of China's $3.4bn coffee shop market last year, according to Euromonitor. The market research consultancy expects the sector² to generate revenues of $4.1bn by 2020, making China a key growth market for coffee chains.
