JD and Gome announced to launch a CNY30 billion joint procurement plan, which is reportedly the largest home appliances and consumer electronics industry procurement in the Chinese market in 2020.

JD and Gome have implemented strategic cooperation in various sectors. In March 2020, Gome's official flagship store entered JD platform and its sales achieved a steady improvement.
