BLOCKCHAIN BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The Group has been seeking for change with a stable approach and making suitable refinement on its business development strategy, so as to grasp any opportunities and be prepared at its best to meet such opportunities and challenges.

In today's internet economy, the blockchain technology is rapidly advancing, and will bring immense impact on businesses.

Possessed with the largest comprehensive automotive diagnosis databank in the world and a strong market coverage in automotive diagnosis equipment and Internet of Vehicle equipment, the Group has started to plan for its blockchain business early in 2017 with the establishment of the Launch Research Institute and creation of the blockchain application and basic technologies, Big Data and AI technical teams. In 2018, the Launch Vehicle Chain Platform was launched. Since then, the Group has put more efforts in building the infrastructure for blockchain, data processing and application for vehicles, etc. and successfully established a super vehicle chain, the Launch Chain, and set up the new ecology for the blockchain vehicle business. Such technologies can be applied to such sectors as second-hand vehicle transactions, auto insurance, parts and components, car sharing and vehicle finance.

As of 31 October 2019, we have applied for a total of 325 blockchain-related patents, of which 59 were for infrastructure, 75 for data recording and processing and 191 for application, and such result is much encouraging.

In the future, the Group will continue to connect different industries with the "chain", implement the strategic deployment for the new auto business ecology, promote the shared "chain" linking among industries so as to create more business opportunities, improve service quality and customer experience, and achieve mutual benefits and win-win situation.

As the State and the market are increasingly focusing on the development of the blockchain technology, the Group will be keen on catching every opportunity that arises yet with a cautious attitude. It is expected that the Group will keep on negotiating with various teams on cooperation for the benefit of both parties, and announcement will be made to investors at appropriate time for any latest cooperation or technological development.
