The novel coronavirus pandemic is fundamentally changing the consumption pattern globally. In this background, the Group understands that traditional retailers need to undergo transformation and intensively develop e-commerce retailing. Previously, the Group has become the first Hong Kong-based partner of Taobao University. By providing relevant knowledge and training through online and offline education and courses, it is designed to proactively and comprehensively create an e-commerce training platform so as to drive the retailing industry in Hong Kong towards a new era. The Board believes that this strategic investment has reflected the Company's confidence in the future development prospect of e-commerce. Leveraging Evo's abundant experience in building and launching commerce and payment solutions in Southeast Asia, this investment will be conducive to consolidating the online sales channels of the Group, which will undoubtedly create huge synergies for the development of the social commerce of the Group and for its oversea business expansion.
