Pizza Hut China / 必胜客中国

Pizza Hut China / 必胜客中国 appears in 巴黎水和圣培露还能赚钱，雀巢为何要剥离水业务？ as a 百胜中国 brand-ownership and margin case. The source says Yum China completed the purchase of Pizza Hut brand ownership in mainland China on August 7, removing the need to pay ongoing franchise fees to Yum Brands in the United States.

The episode treats the move as store-economics improvement rather than only legal housekeeping. If roughly 3% of sales previously went to brand fees, recapturing that expense can improve margin and make new-store economics more attractive for franchisees.
