"Our focus this year is 'management output'," Mao Daqing, founder of Ucommune, one of the largest co-working space operators in China, told Reuters.The company expected to partner with enterprise clients and open another 30 flexible working centres for them this year, providing design and management services, from 15 currently, he said. Ucommune's own branded centres would add five to 10 more to the over 200 already in place.
