HONG KONG, Mar 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Asiaray Media Group Limited (“Asiaray” or the “Group”; stock code: 1993), an established out-of-home (“OOH”) media company with a strategic focus on advertising media management at mass transportation hubs, including airports, metro stations and high-speed rail stations, has announced its annual results for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 (the “Year”). The Group recorded a net profit of RMB10.4 million, compared with a loss of RMB9.9 million in 2023, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.Mr. Vincent Lam JP, Chairman and Executive Director of Asiaray, said, “I am pleased to report that Asiaray has achieved a turnaround, which not only marks a financial milestone, but also demonstrates our ability to adapt to the evolving market landscape. We have improved operational efficiency by divesting underperforming assets and enhancing retained media resources. We also reacquired operating rights of high-potential media resources at competitive costs and streamlined our operations for better internal control. We continue to leverage our industry expertise to provide creative solutions that empower long-standing clients, especially in the dynamic mass consumption sector, to achieve brand breakthroughs with measurable results, strengthening our network and seizing new opportunities.”For the year ended 31 December 2024, despite a decline in revenue to RMB1,069.2 million due to a decrease in media resource inventory from optimization initiatives, gross profit was RMB306.7 million, with the gross margin improving by 6.8 percentage points from 21.9% in 2023 to 28.7%. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to RMB593.2 million. As of 31 December 2024, the Group was in a healthy financial position with cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash amounting to RMB232.5 million, laying a solid foundation for its business recovery.Business ReviewThe Metro Lines and Billboards business recorded revenue of RMB399.6 million, with gross profit of RMB103.8 million and a gross profit margin of 26.0%. For metro operations, the Group leveraged its expertise and market insights to secure more favorable terms when renewing key metro media resources such as Shenzhen Metro, which delivered solid results. Meanwhile, established assets such as Hangzhou Metro performed stably in line with expectations. Additionally, the growing prominence of high-speed rail as a preferred mode of travel has enhanced the advertising value at hubs such as Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Station and Kunming Railway Station, supported by steady passenger flows and the Group’s business synergies derived from the resources in the Greater China region. The billboard business continued to improve through the diversification of media formats, including the gradual improvement of billboard effectiveness through tailored adjustments.As for the performance of the Airports business, it recorded segment revenue of RMB358.3 million, gross profit of RMB124.5 million and a gross profit margin of 34.8%, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.2 percentage points. The improvement in profitability was driven by the optimization of the Group’s airport media portfolio through continuous resource rationalization, including the regained advertising and media contracts for Haikou Meilan International Airport, for which costs were substantially reduced. While the full operational restructuring is still ongoing, encouraging progress was made during the Year, confirming the effectiveness of the current strategy to improve returns.Regarding the Bus and Other businesses segment, it recorded revenue of RMB311.4 million, gross profit of RMB78.4 million and a gross profit margin of 25.2%, a year-on-year increase of 14.3 percentage points. By formally terminating underperforming contracts in the second half of the year, this segment streamlined operations and enhanced efficiency, resulting in a return to stable performance.During the Year, the Group continued to leverage its industry-leading Outdoor and Online (“O&O”) New Media Strategy and Digital Out-of-Home Plus (“DOOH+”) platform, earning 45 accolades from influential industry platforms for innovative campaigns. The group has fully leveraged its deep market insights, decades of expertise, and economies of scale, combining creativity to connect brands with audiences while prioritizing efficiency, rapid execution and cost-effectiveness. Notable projects included a collaboration with a globally renowned beverage brand, which was awarded the OOH Contextual Marketing Award[1]. The Group redesigned a subway station using the brand’s signature colors, transforming the space into a vibrant brand showcase. Coinciding with the buzz around the Paris Olympics, the campaign incorporated athletic track motifs and Olympic ring installations to amplify the theme of “cheering for athletes”. In Hong Kong, the Group won the prestigious IAI Awards[2] by reimagining bus stops for an international beer brand, integrating atmospheric lighting to create an immersive nighttime experience that offered pedestrians a fresh perspective.On the supply side, the Group strengthened its partnership with programmatic advertising leaders such as The Trade Desk, Hivestack by Perion and Vistar Media, seamlessly connecting its premium OOH media resources with global advertisers seeking precise, data-driven advertising solutions. For example, a telecom brand targeting tech-savvy, data-heavy mobile users leveraged the Group’s media resources across Singapore’s Thomson-East Coast Line via programmatic platforms. Coupled with the Group’s Weather Triggering technology, creatives dynamically switched between “sunny” and “rainy” versions based on real-time weather to complete the offline-to-online cycle, enabling the brand to chase away the rainy day blues by offering customers free data whenever it rained in Singapore. This real-time customization boosted engagement by aligning incentives with immediate scenarios, adding interactivity and playful relevance. These efforts not only enriched urban visual landscapes but also demonstrated the strategic balance between innovative impact and operational agility.ProspectsLooking ahead to 2025, supported by the Chinese government’s initiatives to boost domestic consumption, the Group aims to strengthen its partnership with sectors aligned with current consumption patterns. By harnessing its strategically located media resources across airports, metro systems, and high-speed rail networks, the Group will continue to deliver campaigns that link brand objectives with consumer trends, enabling the creation of targeted and innovative advertising solutions designed to broaden revenue streams and strengthen market position.For the longer term, the Group remains committed to refining its internal control and adopting prudent financial practices that mitigate risk and allow it to navigate the evolving business landscape. Meanwhile, the Group will continue to optimize its media portfolio through long-standing partnerships with major media resource owners, enhancing profitability while maintaining operational efficiency. These initiatives will be supported by organizational restructuring to better align with ever-changing market demands and opportunities.Mr. Lam concluded, “The year 2024 has highlighted a fundamental truth: challenges, when met with clarity and determination, can become catalysts for new beginnings. Innovation remains at the heart of our strategy as we push the boundaries of advertising technologies, optimizing campaigns and turning insights into impact. Building on our leadership in Greater China’s transport advertising sector, we will expand cross-media solutions that connect brands with evolving consumer demands. Leveraging our agility, deep market expertise, and strategic foresight, Asiaray will continue to turn industry shifts into opportunities, delivering long-term value for shareholders and stakeholders while reinforcing our legacy of resilience and innovation.”About Asiaray Media Group Limited (stock code: 1993.HK)Established in 1993, Asiaray is an out-of-home media company in Greater China with a strategic focus on managing mega transport advertising media, including airports, metro lines, and high-speed rail lines.

Vancouver, BC, Apr 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV:DBG)(OTCQB:DBLVF)(FSE:1D4) (the "Company" or "Doubleview") is pleased to share its plans for the upcoming 2025 exploration season for its 100% owned BC projects. Based on the Company's successful 2024 exploration season, which included publishing the Hat Project's maiden resource estimate (‘MRE V1'), exceptional high-grade drill results from its 10,000m drill program (please see the Company's news release from February 05, 2025) and the recently announced collaboration of the Company with Her Excellency Sheikha Sara Nasser Al-Thani of Qmission of Qatar (please see the Company's news release from March 05, 2025), Doubleview is readying its field crews for the upcoming field season.Hat Project - 2025 Program of WorkDoubleview is setting out to continue building on its exploration success at its polymetallic Hat Project. The 2024 drill results have provided important information which is supporting the Company's geological team in understanding the evolution of, and ultimately the entire Hat Deposit ("Hat" or "Deposit") system. The goals of the upcoming drill season are to continue to expand and build the resource to higher levels of confidence, to test newly identified targets to the northwest and east of the Deposit, and to find the source of the system that created the Hat Deposit.Details for the environmental sampling program are currently being finalized. Doubleview's intensions are to implement this work to fulfill regulatory requirements necessary towards further development of the Hat Project. The Preliminary Economic Assessment ("HAT PEA") with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("HAT MRE 2.0") is steadily progressing as expected.President & CEO Farshad Shirvani states: "After achieving several milestones for the Hat Project, it is time to continue its development. Our field crew, technical team and I are excited about the newly acquired information which will guide this year's efforts. Our goals are to find the porphyry system's source, to further advance the integrity of the resource estimate categories, to continue advancing environmental work and building stakeholder relationships. There are less than 90 drill holes at the Hat Project, and we have been able to show tremendous results. At the same time, it is very clear that there are many more opportunities to enhance the Hat Deposit that our team is eager to explore." Mr. Shirvani added: "The Company is continuing its dialogue with Her Excellency Sara Nasser Al-Thani of Qmission of Qatar to build a strong relationship to explore optimal opportunities for both sides. With the worldwide growing attention on critical minerals, by governments and major mining companies alike, we believe that the Company is a great position."Red Spring - 2025 Exploration ProgramPart of Doubleview's portfolio of projects is Red Spring, which is located in central BC, Canada. It is a copper-silver-gold project which in recent exploration programs showed elevated zinc values. With copper and zinc being elements that are listed as Critical Minerals by the Canadian Government, the Red Spring project merits a well-tailored exploration program. For this season an extensive ground IP program is planned which will be followed-up by drilling based on the IP results. The goal of the exploration program is to build on existing data and together with the new results, narrow down the potential deposit type. Currently the two potential deposit types in focus for the project are sediment hosted copper-silver deposits and Eskay Creek type deposits.Doubleview maintains a website at www.doubleview.ca.Qualified Persons:Erik Ostensoe, P.

Hua Medicine has made significant strides in the commercialization of its core product, the glucokinase activator (GKA) dorzagliatin (trade name: HuaTangNing, as well as in R&D innovation and manufacturing capacity optimization, laying a solid foundation for the Company’s long-term sustainable development.Dr. Li Chen, Founder and the Chief Executive Officer of Hua Medicine, stated: “In 2024, HuaTangNing’s market performance was very encouraging. Its inclusion in the NRDL greatly enhanced the accessibility and affordability of this innovative drug, enabling more diabetes patients to benefit. In 2025, Hua Medicine established a pharmaceutical sales and marketing team, and HuaTangNing demonstrated strong growth momentum at the start of the year. With further market expansion and increasing patient awareness, we are confident in HuaTangNing’s market growth.”“Looking ahead, the Company will continue to explore HuaTangNing’s potential in personalized diabetes treatment and diabetes complications globally. By integrating big data and artificial intelligence technologies, we aim to expand our disease areas into immune homeostasis and neural homeostasis. We are confident with the close collaboration of Hua Medicine and its partners across the pharmaceutical R&D, production, and distribution chain, we can enable more patients to access and benefit from Chinese medicines, accelerating progress in realizing our vision ‘China leading pharmaceutical innovation to advance human health.’”Summary of Clinical Research and Operational Progress- Significant Revenue Growth, Strong Market Performance of HuaTangNing, and Positive Patient Feedback- 2024 marked the first full year for which our HuaTangNing was reimbursed under the National Reimbursement Drug List (“NRDL”) in China. Sales revenue increased by 234% to RMB255.9 million for the fiscal year 2024 compared with the same period in 2023. During the fiscal year 2024, HuaTangNing was sold in approximately 2,700 hospitals across China. As of December 31, 2024, Hua Medicine maintained a strong balance sheet with a cash balance of RMB1,139.8 million to support its full-scale commercialization, business development and R&D functions.- Since the launch of HuaTangNing in the fourth quarter of 2022, our pharmacovigilance team has been diligently monitoring the safety of dorzagliatin in the China market, and was recently recognized by the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center as a national example for the pharmaceutical industry. As of December 31, 2024, Hua Medicine had monitored approximately 150,000 patients who have been prescribed HuaTangNing, and dorzagliatin has been observed to be safe and well tolerated by patients.- Effective January 1, 2025, Hua Medicine assumed full responsibility for the commercialization of HuaTangNing in China from its former sales and marketing partner, Bayer Healthcare Company Limited (“Bayer”). We recruited Mr. Lu Yu, a seasoned pharmaceutical sales executive with over 20 years of diabetes commercialization experience in China, to lead our sales and marketing efforts.- For the two months ended February 28, 2025, Hua Medicine sold approximately 592,000 packs of HuaTangNing, representing approximately RMB73.2 million in net sales. During the same period in 2024, approximately 202,000 packs of HuaTangNing were sold, representing approximately RMB24.5 million in net sales, The difference represents a significant increase in sales over a period during which the price per pack remained the same. This demonstrates a smooth transition of HuaTangNing’s commercialization in China from Bayer to Hua Medicine, with reinvigorated growth momentum.- Upon the termination of the Exclusive Promotion Service Agreement, the unamortized contact liabilities amounting to RMB1,243,499,000 were released to profit or loss, and will be recognized as a gain in 2025 by the Group. Both parties have confirmed in a signed letter that there are no outstanding matters arising from such termination, nor does either party owe the other party any obligation or liabilities from such separation.- Steady Progress in R&D Innovation, Continuously Enriching Product Pipeline- Hua Medicine made significant headway in preparing the future expansion of our glucokinase-targeted, glucose homeostasis-centered therapy into the international markets, specifically the United States. We successfully completed and announced the results of its single-ascending dose (“SAD”) study in the United States of our second generation GKA (HM-002-1005), in which we validated the feasibility of dorzagliatin as a once daily oral therapy for Type 2 diabetes (“T2D”) patients. We are currently developing the clinical dosage form for advancement of HM-002-1005 in a clinical proof-of-mechanism study.- Hua Medicine also made significant progress in developing fixed-dose combination formulations. The Company has been advancing its dorzagliatin-metformin fixed-dose combination product candidate into commercial dosage development, with process validation expected to be completed in 2025.- Based on human genetic data collected from studies of patients administered with dorzagliatin, the Mendelian Randomization methodology has been applied to predict the beneficial effects of dorzagliatin on related and significant diabetes complications, such as reduction in heart failure, coronary artery disease, memory loss and dyslipidemia. In addition, a separate Mendelian Randomization study provided genetic evidence supporting the causal effects of glucokinase activation on lowering the risk of frailty. These findings suggest that glucokinase activators may aid in the management of frailty and sarcopaenia in people with diabetes. We will continue our research and development efforts to explore new indications.- Through our SENSITIZE 3 clinical study in Hong Kong, Hua Medicine is advancing the potential of dorzagliatin in prediabetes, early treatment and prevention of Type 2 diabetes. In contrast with the approved 75mg dosage form of HuaTangNing, the Company is testing new 25mg and 50mg dosage formulations to explore these potential new indications. The Company is also supporting an investigator-sponsored trial in testing dorzagliatin’s efficacy in treating MODY-2 patients who suffered from genetic mutations that de-activated glucokinase. Early studies in humans by renowned diabetes experts Dr. Juliana Chan and Dr. Linong Ji have indicated the benefit of dorzagliatin in MODY-2 patients by improving their β-cell functions and glycemic control.- Hua Medicine is also advancing the combination of dorzagliatin with GLP-1RA, DPP-IV inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitor through combined effects in collecting real-world evidence and proof-of-concept studies in animal models. The synergy between dorzagliatin with these agents has the potential to expand our indication into other diseases in metabolic disorders, such as obesity and MASH. - Hua Medicine will continue our engagement in diabetes prevention, opportunities in longevity and prevention of memory loss and eventually find a new way to increase healthy life span and longevity in humans.- Continued Expansion of Manufacturing Capacity, Plans to Launch Dorzagliatin in New Markets- Hua Medicine continues to invest in expanding its manufacturing capacity to meet anticipated market needs in 2026 and 2027.- Hua Medicine is also finalizing and preparing to submit registration applications for dorzagliatin to launch commercialization in the Macau and Hong Kong markets. We plan to submit both applications in 2025.- Hua Medicine continues to strengthen its intellectual property protection globally. As of December 31, 2024, the Company owned more than 200 granted patents covering its proprietary technology worldwide.Business outlook- There is a great opportunity for dorzagliatin and our 2nd generation GKA in China and the global oral anti-diabetes market. - We will strengthen our own commercialization efforts through hub and spoke development with focus on building up a strong internal sales and medical marketing organization to drive business growth in 2025. This will allow us to rebuild our strong connections directly to the medical community and better promote HuaTangNing in China and surrounding areas.- We continue to invest into digital technology platforms to create synergies across functions and enhance branding opportunities using AI technology.- We are working on the registration of dorzagliatin in HK and Macau region and engage partnerships in Southeastern Asia and Belt and Road nations. In addition, business development work on our 2nd generation GKA in regions with high incidences of obesity will be continued based on the initial success of the SAD study in the United States.Financial SummaryFor the year ended December 31, 2024:- Bank balances and cash position was approximately RMB1,139.8 million.- Total revenue was approximately RMB255.9 million, an increase of approximately 234% compared to the full year of 2023; approximately 2,105,000 packs of HuaTangNing were sold, an increase of approximately 740% compared to the full year of 2023.- Total other income was approximately RMB116.8 million, including approximately RMB95.7 million from the amortization of Bayer milestone income.- Total expenditures for the year was approximately RMB493.6 million, of which R&D expenses accounted for approximately RMB215.1 million.- Loss before tax was approximately RMB250.1 million, which was mainly attributable to the increase of selling expense and research and development expense.Forward-Looking StatementsThis document contains statements regarding Hua Medicine’s future expectations, plans, and prospects for the Company and its products.

HONG KONG, Mar 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mobvoi (02438.HK) (hereinafter referred to as “the Group”) released its 2024 annual results report. The Group's pure software product, AIGC, generated a revenue of over RMB220 million (unit: RMB, the same below), representing a year-on-year growth of 88.5% compared with 2023, and has truly achieved pure software, high gross profit and internationalization.In terms of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Group's revenue amounted to RMB390.3 million, representing an increase of 6% as compared to the corresponding period in 2023 (after deducting the revenue from the IP arrangement of Automobile Subsidiary A). Of which, revenue from AIGC solutions amounted to RMB221.7 million, revenue from AI solutions amounted to RMB16.4 million and revenue from smart devices and other accessories amounted to RMB152.2 million.Pure Software Product AIGC Revenue Exceeds RMB220 Million, Realizing Sustainable Growth of AIGC Business ModelAs the Group's core business, the AIGC business has maintained strong growth in recent years. This is attributable to the Group's proactive adjustment of its business and revenue strategy away from increasing traditional AI project-based revenue (such as the business of Automobile Subsidiary A) and fully engaging in the sustainable growth of pure software AIGC productization business. For the years ending December 31, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, AIGC revenue amounted to RMB6.8 million, RMB39.9 million, RMB117.6 million and RMB221.7 million respectively, accounting for 1.7%, 8.0%, 23.3% and 56.8% of the Group's total revenue respectively. It is worth mentioning that the Group's AIGC business grew by 88.5% year-on-year compared to 2023, truly achieving pure software, high margins and internationalization, and the Group has become the “No. 1 AIGC Company”.The growth of the AIGC business is attributable to the Group's pioneering technologies and the increasingly rich application of AIGC products. 2024 saw the Group's continuous efforts in the areas of AI intelligences, big models and digital people, and the formation of a complete matrix of AIGC products: AI dubbing assistant “Moyin Workshop” (the overseas version of “DupDub”), AI digital human doppelganger “Weta365” (the overseas version of “LivGen”), an enterprise AI interactive digital employee generation platform “AI Ask365”, and an AI video creation platform “Yuan365”, etc.Meanwhile, with business refinement, operational capability and brand influence further enhanced. As of December 31, 2024, the Group's AIGC will have more than 10 million registered users and more than 1 million paid users, and will continue to provide services to users from China, North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and other parts of the world.Adhering to the strategy of “product and model integration”, constantly breaking through the boundary of innovation“Product and model integration” has enabled AI application companies to increase their modeling capabilities. The Group is one of those companies that have taken “product and model integration” as a strategic guideline to build data and product barriers on the basis of advanced models (such as “Sequence Monkey” and DeepSeek).On the one hand, “product and model integration” can greatly improve efficiency, self-developed models can quickly respond to their own product needs, cost savings, private customization; on the other hand, the “data flywheel” effect can be formed, through the data to promote the product and the model of the dual self-iterative.From the model level, the Group insisted on model capability iterations in 2024, leading industry breakthroughs in AI intelligences, voice, digital people, video and images.For example, the Group has continuously upgraded the technology of its voice model engine, which has now been iterated to the seventh generation (TicVoice 7.0), and after applying it to “Moyin Workshop” and “DupDub”, not only does the product have supernatural voice cloning and cross-language generation capabilities, but also can be customized to meet the needs of users with boutique-exclusive voices.In the field of digital human, the Group released WetaAvatar 4.0, AI video dubbing and WetaAvatar 4.0 Talking Photo in 2024, which further upgraded Weta365's capabilities. “The case video of Weta365's cooperation with Yiwu Small Commodities once dominated New York's Times Square. In the future, both parties will bring better technical services to over 65,000 small merchants, truly enabling business without boundaries.In the area of AI intelligent bodies, the Group has continued to make in-depth efforts in the area of AI Agent and has landed a product that integrates big model, embodied intelligence and AI Agent, “Xiaoqian Mobile Digital Man”. It has a flexible and mobile body that can realize intelligent following, self-defined route cruising and intelligent obstacle avoidance. At the same time, it is equipped with leading models such as ““Sequence Monkey”” and “DeepSeek” to realize intelligent Q&A.In the future, the Group will continue to adhere to the core strategic anchor of “product and model integration” and promote the deep integration of technology and scenarios, so as to become a global benchmark practitioner of synergistic innovation between products and models.Continuing to build overseas products and focusing on globalized ecological layoutThe Group has a strong overseas gene and has accumulated valuable global business development experience, sales team and media resources during the early years of its hardware overseas products.In 2024, on the one hand, the Group upgraded its overseas AI dubbing product “DupDub”, which was highly recognized by creators from around the world. On the other hand, the Group launched “LivGen”, a one-stop digital human generation platform, which not only brings the ultimate creative experience to creators, but also helps enterprises build “24-hour AI staff without borders” with its rich digital human images and multilingual advantages, thereby realizing cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.In addition to building global products, the Group also focuses on global ecological deployment, and has become partners with international companies such as NVIDIA, Google, Qualcomm, DingTalk, Hicloud and Tencent Cloud to help the industry's ecological development.Fully embrace the AIization of organizations and be the forerunner of the smart business eraThe Group believes that “Organizational AI” will become the core path of enterprise evolution.

The gross margin of red wine products and white wine products in 2024 were 37% and 41% respectively (2023: 32% and 38% respectively). The overall gross profit margin increased to 39% in 2024 (2023: 34%), mainly due to control in production costs and reduction in certain reimbursement of market expenses under sales arrangement during the year.The Group completed the development of the first phase of Tianxia Winery and its ancillary premises, located in the Pigeon Hill Wine Cultural Tourism Town in Qingtongxia City, Ningxia, in the third quarter of the year. The winery is situated nearby Eastern foothill of Helan mountain, Ningxia, which is one of the key quality grape producing regions in the PRC. It integrates pressing, fermentation, processing, testing and research and development as a whole, with an annual production and processing capacity of 5,000 tonnes.

The winery will become a new long-term and stable economic growth point of the Group and help the regional presence and layout of Dynasty wines, as well as aligning with the overall planning and industry planning for the development of China’s wine industry.During the year, the Group approved the set up of two joint venture companies, which have been established in February 2025, for the manufacturing and sales of yellow wine and Chenpi wine in Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province, the PRC and trading of sauce-flavour baijiu products nationwide respectively. For the yellow wine project, construction of a manufacturing plant with a tank capacity of 3,000 tonnes of yellow wine and special yellow wine – Chenpi wine in Jiangsu will be kick-started by the joint venture company in the first half of 2025. The plan starts with special yellow wine – Dongtai Chenpi Wine with a goal to effectively expand product categories, seize development opportunities in the Chinese yellow wine industry, and achieve a major strategic move towards high-quality development of the wine industry. For the sauce-flavour baijiu segment, Dynasty Group’s strategic involvement in this field is an attempt to break through the current wine category innovation. By integrating upstream and downstream related parties to jointly establish a new company, we construct a business model of benefit sharing, risk sharing, continuous cooperation and innovation mechanism. Dynasty sauce-flavour baijiu products, namely ‘Han’, ‘Tang ’, ’Song ’ and ‘Ming ’ are newly launched to the market, satisfying the needs of customer groups with different spending habits and contributing to the Group’s business. In the future, the continuous development and expansion of the sauce-flavour baijiu industry and the enduring improvement of the level of customer groups will inevitably and effectively drive the increase in the sales scale of Dynasty wine and related products, thereby enhancing our industry influence and brand awareness.The Group has been actively pursuing innovation, embracing the “5+4+N” product strategy, with “N” standing for developing various customised products and continuously creating new products to meet the diverse needs of different Chinese consumer groups.
