In the past two years, the gross profit margin of the whole industry is generally between 15% and 30%.

(hereinafter referred to as Rectangular education).

On the same day, the Changfang Group announced that it would jointly invest with Shenzhen Qianhai Yide Capital to set up an education industry investment M&A fund with a fund size of no more than 2 billion yuan.
