Country Garden was petitioned for liquidation and bankruptcy was imminent.

Country Garden was petitioned for liquidation and bankruptcy was imminent.

Country Garden objected to the liquidation petition, and the company was finally liquidated.

On February 28, 2024, Country Garden announced that the company was informed that EverLimited filed a liquidation petition against the company in the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on February 27, concerning the unpaid term loan with a principal of about HK$ 1.6 billion and accrued interest between the petitioner and the company.

On October 10, 2023, Jiantao Group announced that Country Garden failed to repay the money according to the financing agreement, and the lender issued a statutory demand for repayment to Country Garden, demanding repayment of some due payables. As of October 10, 2023, the outstanding principal amount of Country Garden was still HK$ 1.598 billion.

In this regard, Country Garden said that the debt amount of the company involved in Jiantao Group accounts for a very low proportion of the overall interest-bearing liabilities abroad, and the radical action of a single creditor will not have a significant impact on the company’s security, normal operation and overall restructuring of overseas debts. The company resolutely opposes the petition for liquidation, and will seek legal advice, take all necessary actions, and actively and properly defend with the consulting team.

Country Garden also said that at present, all the operations of the company are normal, and it will continue to focus on ensuring delivery and operation, and protect the rights and interests of all stakeholders, including house owners, creditors, investors and employees, to the greatest extent. The presentation of the petition does not mean that the petitioner can successfully liquidate the company. On the date of announcement, the High Court did not issue a liquidation order to liquidate the company. The High Court has set the first hearing date of the petition as May 17, 2024.

Regarding the restructuring of overseas debts, Country Garden said that since it was announced that it could not repay all overseas debts as scheduled, the company has hired financial and legal consultants to assist in evaluating the capital structure and liquidity of the Group and formulating an overall solution. At present, an effective communication mechanism has been established with the representative groups of major overseas creditor groups, and the overall restructuring of overseas debt is being actively and orderly promoted.

China gave US$ 200 billion in concessions? Don’t believe it, it’s a rumor.

  Diplomacy is no small matter. Some seemingly casual details often reveal meaningful signals.

  Just now, in the Oval Office, US President Trump met with Liu He, Vice Premier of the People’s Republic of China, the special envoy of the Supreme Leader. The meeting lasted 40 minutes. According to the subsequent release of Xinhua News Agency, Trump also emphasized to Liu He:I highly cherish the good working relationship and personal friendship with the Chairman of the Supreme Leader.

  Trump, the chief correspondent of Twitter in the White House, also quickly posted relevant information on Twitter, saying that he had talked with Liu He about trade issues. In the photo, Trump with a red tie stood on the right and Liu He with a blue tie stood on the left. They shook hands and smiled.

  Sino-US trade negotiations are still going on, but during the talks, Trump suddenly met Liu He at the White House, and the information conveyed should be quite rich, at least these three clear signals:

  1. There have been subtle changes in the attitude of the United States.

  The last time Liu He visited Washington, not long ago, US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin led a delegation to Beijing for consultations, but the top leaders of the two countries did not come forward to meet. But this time, Trump not only met with Liu He, but also smiled brilliantly.In addition to Mnuchin and other US ministers, accompanied by US Vice President Burns. The President and Vice President of the United States met with Liu He, a vice-national.It can also be seen that the US attaches great importance to the China delegation.

  In addition, in the Xinhua News Agency report, the first thing Trump said to Liu He was,"It is very important for the United States and China to maintain good cooperative relations in the economic and trade field." Please note that this is "very important".Since it is very important, the United States should also be soberly aware that once it derails, it will shake the earth.

  Second, China and the United States have differences, but both want to solve them properly.

  According to Xinhua News Agency, Trump said to Liu He:"I hope that the economic teams of the two countries will work together to actively solve the problems existing in the economic and trade relations between the two sides."Liu Heze said:"China is willing to work with the United States to properly handle and solve economic and trade issues of mutual concern on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, and ensure that economic and trade cooperation will continue to be the ballast stone and propeller of Sino-US relations."

  There are indeed big differences between the two sides. What should we do? Please note that the Chinese word is "properly handled" and Trump’s word is "actively resolved". There are subtle differences in words, but their attitudes are basically the same. In other words, both sides believe that these differences should not be allowed to affect the relations between the two countries, which creates better conditions for the final success of the negotiations. Of course, China also has principles: on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.

  Third, there is huge space for future cooperation between China and the United States.

  During the meeting, Trump also said this to Liu He:The United States and China should focus on strengthening trade and investment cooperation in the fields of energy and manufacturing, expanding agricultural products trade and market access, and strengthening cooperation in intellectual property protection to bring more practical benefits to the two peoples.

  This should be the key cooperation area listed by the United States.These are all businesses, and China really may not suffer.It must be noted that in these areas, the United States has great advantages, and China’s appropriate increase in some imports is conducive to meeting people’s needs for a better life and is more conducive to the formation of a domestic competitive market. For example, energy is the blood of the economy, and China needs to import a lot of energy to develop; China needs blue sky, and natural gas is in short supply. In this regard, the United States can make more contributions. Of course, China’s energy exploitation technology should also catch up quickly.

  In the previous article, bullpiano said,The trade war between China and the United States seems to be on the verge of exploding, but from the perspective of the ultimate win-win situation of harmony and wealth, it is just a fierce bargaining before larger-scale cooperation.

  For the delegation of China, this is really a heavy responsibility. We must defend China’s legitimate rights and core interests, and we must defend the multilateral free trade system and global free trade.

  Because in the process of consultation, there is no lack of wild speculations. Some western media also broadcast the so-called news that China made substantial concessions and accepted the US deficit reduction of $200 billion.

  However, people familiar with the matter made it clear that this is false and purely misunderstood.

  According to the interpretation of relevant people:

  1. It is absolutely impossible for the Chinese team to negotiate under the conditions set by the US. This point has long been made public in the last round of Beijing consultations.

  2. Some of China’s concerns, such as the ZTE incident, have been hinted by the relevant US parties in Twitter a few days ago; In addition, both sides have made progress in expanding the export of chips and high-tech products to China in the United States and relaxing energy exports to China. The final result of this transaction is worth looking forward to. Some people worry that China will make unilateral concessions, which is unnecessary.

  3. The final result of the negotiations will come out after a while, and the so-called rumors of China’s concessions will be broken by then!

  However, this is still a bitter battle.

  According to informed sources,Just a few hours before Trump met with Liu He, the two sides still refused to give in to each other on the focus issue, and the negotiations were once deadlocked.Trump’s sudden meeting and the smiling handshake between the two sides undoubtedly put an end to the hard negotiation of this day.

  Negotiations will continue and the game is still going on. Strive for the best results and prepare for the worst.Tomorrow is a crucial day!(Author Niu Qinqin)

Extreme Yue 07 may be one of the pure electric cars with the highest value.

Another pure electric car with the same face value belongs to the ceiling of the industry, and there is the Extreme Yue 07. At present, the car has arrived in the store one after another, and it is expected to meet you formally soon.

Jazz songs have sprung up in this month’s list, and the fourth and fifth places on the list are all jazz slow songs.

In this issue’s list, Gao Wu’s new song "Say Hi to me in the future" was successfully listed. The genre of psychedelic rock not only continued Gao Wu’s consistent literary style, but also hit home the expectations and imagination of current music lovers’ attitude towards music. As Wu Mengqi, the founder of E-Y music, commented, "Five people can often find a good balance between business, literature and art and trends in the arrangement of lyrics."

In addition, relying on the influence of cross-border traffic and excellent production resources, IP songs have also become "golden song makers".

Review on the operation of the board of directors of Zhidu Co., Ltd. in the first half of 2022

() The business review of the Board of Directors in the first half of 2022 is as follows:

  I. Main businesses of the Company during the reporting period

  (1) The development stage of the industry to which the company belongs and the position of the company in the industry during the reporting period.

  1, the development stage of the industry.

  (1) The development stage of overseas Internet media industry

  In the first half of 2022, the Internet media industry in the United States continued to adapt to the rapidly changing consumer behavior. Consumers spend more time in the digital ecology than ever before, but they are also increasingly aware of the value of personal data and pay attention to privacy issues. The major platforms in the industry have been trying to change themselves to meet the needs of consumers, such as the iOS update of Apple App tracking transparency, Google’s plan to gradually phase out third-party Cookies, Yahoo’s overall adjustment of the desktop page jump form policy, the tightening of censorship standards for mobile applications in ensuring users’ right to choose and privacy, and Facebook’s strict review of some applications’ presentation methods, all of which have led to the pressure of realizing, obtaining customers and making profits. These changes, as well as broader economic problems, related regulatory strengthening, and industry adversity, are expected to bring pressure on advertisers’ budgets in the short term, but they also bring opportunities for people who can adapt and innovate quickly to gain market share. It is estimated that by 2026, in the entertainment and media industries, advertising costs will exceed consumer spending and Internet access costs.

  The growth of the advertising industry is driven by the transformation to digitalization, and consumers are increasingly spending more time in places where digital advertisements can be reached and where real-time transactions can be made. According to the Global Entertainment and Media Outlook 2022-2026 released by PricewaterhouseCoopers, with the increasing attention of consumers in these five years, the global Internet advertising revenue will reach 723.6 billion US dollars with an astonishing compound annual growth rate of 9.1% in 2026. The growth is mainly distributed in the following channels: digital video, digital audio, social media, search, games and e-sports. In addition, PricewaterhouseCoopers predicts that with the global advertising market reaching $1 trillion.

  (2) The development stage of China’s Internet digital marketing industry.

  In the first half of 2022, due to the recurrent epidemic in COVID-19 and the macro-environment and other factors, the overall consumption expectation was weak, and advertisers tended to be cautious about advertising. Therefore, the overall Internet advertising market scale declined slightly year-on-year. According to the relevant data of the "2022 Half-year Report on Internet Advertising Market" released by QuestMobile, in the first half of 2022, the scale of China’s Internet media advertising market was 290.36 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 2.30%.

  Although the overall scale of Internet media advertising declined slightly, in terms of the internal industry composition of Internet media, the data released by Questmobile in the first half of 2022 was also driven by factors such as the increase of home time caused by the epidemic, and the number of scenes around the "family" space increased, which led to the increase of marketing investment in related household appliances, smart devices and other industries. At the same time, the marketing expenses in emerging economic fields, such as pets, office and other corresponding fields, will accelerate in 2022.

  From the media side of Internet advertising, video and social media continue to be favored by advertisers. According to the data released by Questmobile, in the first half of 2022, short video advertising revenue accounted for nearly 40%, which was significantly ahead of other advertising types and became an important channel for digital marketing.

  The spread form of short video conforms to the characteristics of fragmentation and decentralized communication of mobile Internet, and meets the diverse content and social needs of users with its rich content types and gradually enhanced social attributes. Under the background that the content planning capabilities of content producers, MCN organizations and marketing service providers are constantly strengthening, the professional capabilities of advertising marketing are increasingly prominent, thus promoting the continuous growth of short video marketing revenue scale. According to the data of "Overview of China Short Video Marketing Industry in 2022" released by Toubao Research Institute, from 2017 to 2021, the revenue scale of short video marketing industry in China increased from 6 billion yuan to 258 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 156.1%. As the short video industry enters the stage of refined operation, the output of high-quality content will further attract advertisers to increase their marketing budget. It is estimated that the revenue scale of the short video marketing industry in China will reach 360 billion yuan in 2022, with broad development space. Analysis reports such as Forecast and Analysis of Market Status and Development Trend of China Short Video Marketing Industry in 2022, and Analysis Report on Market Prospect Forecast and Investment Strategic Planning of China Short Video Industry in 2022-2027 also made similar predictions on the overall short video marketing market scale in 2022.

  The mainstream social media platforms are accelerating, especially the content marketing social media platforms based on Tik Tok, bilibili and Xiaohongshu, which play an important role in the process of social marketing communication. According to the data of "2022 China Digital Marketing Trend Report" released by the Second Hand Marketing Academy, social marketing will continue to grow by 19% in 2022, and the budget growth rate of new advertisers will be more obvious. KOL promotion became the first choice for advertisers in social marketing in 2022, followed by short videos and official account operations. Advertisers have become more and more clear that KOL marketing focuses on planting grass as the main goal, and at the same time look forward to the direct transformation of goods brought by planting grass.

  In the first quarter of 2022, Zhidu Zhimai made further efforts in video and social media. Through internal business transformation, personnel reconfiguration and external absorption of the core team with many years of industry operation, the core competitiveness of the content production team was strengthened, and it directly served as a bridge between Tik Tok, bilibili, Xiaohongshu and other media and advertisers, providing advertisers with core services such as short video dissemination and high-quality content. The operating income of new media social marketing business increased by 56.2% compared with the same period of last year. With excellent service and high-quality marketing effect, Zhidu Zhimai has won nearly 40 million orders from direct customers such as Mango Xuanfa, car home, IDO, Lenovo and local government in the first half of the year. We expect that the company will further focus on this field in the second half of the year in line with the continuous growth of video and social media segments.

  (3) the development stage of the meta-universe industry

  Metauniverse is a new Internet application and social form that integrates network communication, augmented reality, digital twinning, blockchain, artificial intelligence and other new technologies. It is the next information interconnection era after the desktop Internet era connected by PC and the mobile Internet era connected by smart phone. Metauniverse closely integrates the virtual world with the real world in economic system, social system and identity system, and it is a real-time digital world that is always online and constantly refreshed, and everyone and users can participate in creation.

  2021 is generally regarded as "the first year of the meta-universe". On the one hand, the concept of the meta-universe continues to heat up, and all sectors of society actively enter the game to explore relevant applications of the meta-universe, and capital continues to help the development of the meta-universe; On the other hand, due to the joint efforts of the upstream and downstream software and hardware industries and the guidance of national policies, the development of metauniverse is expected to accelerate, develop healthily and sustainably. There are corresponding technical support and social life factors behind the rise of the meta-universe: in terms of technology, after years of development, the application of underlying technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, blockchain, 5G communication and wearable devices is becoming more and more mature; In terms of social life, due to the epidemic and other reasons, online office and online courses are gradually popularized, people stay in virtual space for a longer time, and the proportion of online life is rising.

  Meta-cosmic hardware equipment. In the next few years, the launch of new VR products by head brands in the industry is expected to promote the rapid growth of VR hardware sales, and lead the continuous upgrading of hardware, continuous enrichment of content and continuous optimization of user experience. According to IDC data, global VR shipments increased by 92.1% year-on-year to 10.95 million units in 2021. It is estimated that global VR shipments will reach 13.86/20.55 million units in 2022/2023, up by 27/18% year-on-year. According to the data of the Tracking Report on the Shipment of VR/AR Industry in the First Quarter of 2022 and the Tracking Report on the Shipment of VR/AR Industry in the Second Quarter of 2022 released by Weishen WellsennXR, in the first half of 2022, the actual global shipment of VR headsets was 5.08 million units, up by 27.12% year-on-year, including 4.15 million units of Meta, 430,000 units of Pico and 40,000 units of iQiyi. After ByteDance acquired Pico in 2021, it made full efforts in 2022 after half a year’s integration. Through the large-scale promotion of online e-commerce platform and traffic support, as well as the rapid spread of offline flagship stores and counters, PicoNeo3 achieved rapid sales growth, and Pico raised its annual sales target to 1.8 million units. While the sales volume of VR continues to increase, it is also constantly improving the user experience. According to the documents of the Federal Communications Commission and market news, the new products that Pico will launch have a lot of functional innovations around the pain points of users, and a variety of new technologies are used.For example, Pancake optical scheme can make VR body thin and light; Color perspective allows users to better determine their position in the boundary of the head display without removing the head display, and can also perceive the external environment, making it possible to wear the VR head display continuously; Bare-hand recognition+facial recognition+eye tracking can make users get rid of the handle, and use algorithms to capture human gestures, eye movements and facial expression changes to make virtual characters come alive in virtual social interaction, so as to achieve the effect of "catching the eye" and make the emotional changes of real people "lossless" transmitted to the virtual world, allowing users to enjoy a clearer and more immersive visual experience and attract more users. With the growth of VR shipments, the improvement of functions, the improvement of user experience and the growth of users, a positive feedback incentive has gradually formed between the software and hardware industry chain, which will also encourage developers to develop more content software, thus broadening the market scale of the whole meta-universe.

  The content development of the meta-universe. Metauniverse content is spreading from games to social, audio-visual, industrial, educational and other scenes. At the same time, the digital collection and virtual human market are heating up, and the UGC content output model has attracted much attention. Metauniverse brand marketing has added a new marketing situation. Among them, the game is the most interactive content form. According to Omdia data, in 2021, the revenue of VR games accounted for more than 80% of the total revenue of VR content. In terms of categories, BeatSaber is famous for its lightness and creativity, and its sales volume is the best, which is expected to reach a wider audience. In "Half-life:Alyx", players can see high-precision modeling, cinematic expressiveness and interactive design of objects everywhere. From games to socialization, VR socialization is the continuation of VR games and the final form of virtual world. VR games have changed people from interacting with the virtual to being immersed in the virtual, and "socialization" may be a bridge to further link the virtual and the real world. At present, the mainstream VR social applications mainly include Horizon(META Research), RecRoom, VRChat and so on. In China, Baidu Xirang and Byte Social Center are also planning to build their own social system platform. At present, major brands have also created more attractive and exciting consumer experiences through the meta-universe, such as Balenciaga releasing the latest fashion series in the form of video games, Louis Vuitton launching video game mobile games to cooperate with NFT, Gucci and Roblox game platform to create virtual goods display and sales. In addition,Dior and Nike cooperate with the virtual game platform to develop the brand virtual world. Players can customize Avatar’s avatar, interact in the virtual world and buy it online through network links. In addition, including the "Trend Digital Age" plan launched by Xiaohongshu and Xiaoyang of Hunan Satellite TV will appear on the TV screen as the first virtual host; China Post announced the establishment of the world’s first metauniverse concept virtual post office "Metauniverse Post Office", which reflected the beneficial exploration of metauniverse content in different degrees.

  In the national policy of the meta-universe. Since 2020, digital transformation has been one of the key policies promoted in China, and many policy documents, including Opinions of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Promoting the High-quality Development of Digital Culture Industry (Wenlv Industry Development [2020] No.78), have provided strong policy support for this, and the concept of metauniverse coincides with digital transformation. Therefore, starting from 2021, both at the national level and local governments, the policy design for the meta-universe-related industries has begun to advance in an orderly manner. At the national level, in January 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said at the press conference on the development of small and medium-sized enterprises that it would cultivate a group of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises to enter emerging fields such as the meta-universe, blockchain and artificial intelligence. At the local government level, in December 2021, the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Electronic Information Industry in Shanghai was issued. As a frontier emerging field, Metauniverse was listed as the development focus of electronic information industry in Shanghai, which was the first time that Metauniverse was written into the local 14th Five-Year Plan. The plan proposes to strengthen the forward-looking research and development of the basic capabilities of the core technology at the bottom of the meta-universe, promote the development of new terminals that deepen perceptual interaction and the construction of systematic virtual content, and explore industrial applications; In July, 2022, Nansha District of Guangzhou issued "Nine Measures for Guangzhou Nansha New District (Nansha Area of Free Trade Zone) to Promote the Ecological Development of Metauniverse".Support the development of Nansha Meta-Cosmic Industry from nine aspects: technical research support, innovation platform funding, industrial agglomeration support, R&D investment subsidy, application scenario construction, innovative ecological construction, talent introduction subsidy, technology and finance support and intellectual property promotion. Up to now, more than 20 provinces/cities have mentioned Meta-Universe in the Tenth Five-Year Plan, government work report, Meta-Universe industry planning and supporting policies, or have issued supporting policies for the development of Meta-Universe industry. As local governments continue to introduce policies related to the meta-universe, digital culture, venues and performing arts activities are expected to become the first application scenarios for virtual cultural and creative projects.

  The company and the company invested () (002045.SZ), and Zhidu Universe, a holding subsidiary of Zhidu Group, was established in early 2022, focusing on the development of the "Meta Other Side" Meta Universe Art Community Project. The company has a complete blockchain underlying technology, rich experience in Internet media operation, broad digital marketing channels and game distribution capabilities, and can provide blockchain underlying technical support, application distribution and promotion services for the company "Meta". Guoguang Electric Appliance invested by the company has the advantage of industrial chain in VR/AR equipment at the entrance of the meta-universe. It is the supplier of major acoustic modules for major head VR products at home and abroad, and has built a VR machine workshop with VR machine production capacity. At present, Guoguang Electric has obtained official orders from some customers for VR complete machines, and is vigorously exploring other customers for VR acoustic modules and VR complete machine business. Its familiarity with the functions and technical trends of VR hardware and VR hardware manufacturers can help the development direction of the company’s metauniverse business and the adaptive development and advanced development of metauniverse software application projects, and help the metauniverse project and VR hardware manufacturers to establish closer cooperation. The company will strengthen the "soft and hard" combination with Guoguang Electric in the meta-universe business, so as to jointly promote the development of the company’s meta-universe business, and at the same time enhance the company’s comprehensive competitiveness and sustainable development ability.

III. Risks faced by the company and countermeasures 1. Market competition risks The rapid development of the mobile Internet industry has attracted more and more competitors to enter the market. The market competition has been increasing, the demographic dividend advantage has gradually weakened, and customer needs have become more diversified and demanding. In this context, if the company cannot strengthen and consolidate its leading position in the industry, it will miss business opportunities and its operation may be affected. The company will continuously improve its core competitiveness, maintain its ability of continuous innovation and business development, base itself on customer needs, enhance brand awareness, and realize the overall improvement of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain with the help of the synergistic effect of its subsidiaries. 2. Risk of Personnel Management and Brain Drain The Internet industry is a talent-intensive industry, and its upgrading speed is far faster than other industries, which requires high talents. If the company cannot retain the existing core top talents and introduce new talents according to the rapid development of the market, the company’s technological advantages will not be brought into full play, and it will face the risk of reduced competitiveness. The company will continuously improve and improve the salary and welfare of employees, optimize the performance appraisal mechanism oriented by sharing and responsibility results, and design differentiated incentive schemes according to different business sectors, different development stages and different groups of people, so that all internal and external outstanding talents can participate in the process of value creation and value distribution, and drive organizations and employees to create greater and better values. In addition, the company will further publicize and implement the corporate culture.Improve the cultural literacy and moral standards of employees, form cohesion, centripetal force and binding force, enhance the corporate image and improve the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises. 3. Downward economic risks caused by the COVID-19 epidemic At present, the COVID-19 epidemic is still spreading all over the world. Although the overall prevention and control of the domestic epidemic is good, there are still risks of export and sporadic outbreaks in some domestic regions. The epidemic has affected the production and operation of all walks of life to varying degrees, and it is expected that the market economy, production and consumption will still take some time to recover, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for the company. Under the current limited offline activities, the number of active Internet users in the world has increased significantly, and the migration to the mobile terminal has been accelerated. Because the company’s main business is Internet media and digital marketing, it has a strong correlation with the economic environment, and the epidemic situation leads to economic downturn or is not conducive to business development. At the same time, because all business forms are online economy, and all income comes from Internet-related income, it is relatively less affected by the epidemic. But in the long run, if the global economic situation is hit hard, the risk of shrinking market demand will not be ruled out. The company will continue to pay attention to the development of the epidemic situation, strengthen the management of the company, continuously optimize the ability of strategy, resources, management and cooperation, optimize the organizational structure, improve efficiency and reduce costs, and control risks. Continue to rely on the company’s technology and data resources, upgrade and improve existing technologies, improve internal operational efficiency, and help upgrade existing business models. 4. Risk of Market Fluctuation Caused by Concepts Related to Metauniverse The Metauniverse is in the early stage of development, involving many fields and concepts. It still takes some time to verify and realize the link and interaction between the virtual and the real level, and it does not rule out obstacles in the future economic or technical level. At the same time, there is a risk that the development of infrastructure, equipment and technology supporting the Metauniverse may be less than expected. Tencent Magic Core, a domestic digital collection platform, announced that it would stop the distribution of digital collections and suspend the sales service of digital collections of Tencent News APP. From this point of view, there is great uncertainty in the pattern of each link of the concept of meta-universe, and the related industries are still in the investment exploration period. Investors are requested to fully understand the risks in the stock market, make prudent decisions and invest rationally. The company continues to pay attention to the development of the Meta-Universe industry. With the help of Guoguang Electric’s position and role in the VR equipment industry chain, combined with the company’s experience in brand marketing, blockchain, game development and other fields, the company will have both the first-Mover advantage and technical barriers of hardware and software, seize the development opportunity of the Meta-Universe, vigorously develop the Meta-Universe business, and constantly extend the application scenarios to accelerate the commercialization process.
