Marketing activities can also take place in the clubhouse or other communal spaces within these communities.
On November 1, 2024, the Company established a Letter of Intent with Jingcai Jia (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd ("JINGCAI JIA"). According to the agreement, the Company will acquire 19.9% of new shares of JINGCAI JIA in exchange for a certain number of new shares of common stock of the Company. The number of shares issued will be determined based on a 10% discount on the average price of the 10-day closing trading days before the closing of the agreement.
With this agreement, the two companies will collaborate closely, pooling their resources such as customers, products, and services. They can leverage each other's networks and venture into new business opportunities.
Additionally, as a sales agent for various popular household products in China, which include Chinese white wines, electric appliances, and daily necessities, JINGCAI JIA will also introduce our services to their clientele.
