Risk tips: (1) the development of cost business does not meet expectations. At present, the company’s cost business cloud transformation covers the whole country. In the future, the development of cost business needs to launch more new cost cloud products. If the company cannot launch new cost cloud products with high customer acceptance in time, there will be a risk that the development of cost business will not meet expectations. (2) The development of construction business did not meet expectations. The company’s BIM products are in a leading position in the market, but if the company cannot continue to maintain the leading position of BIM products and technology in the future, there will be a risk that the development of the company’s construction business will not meet the expectations. (3) The development of design business did not meet expectations. In October 2021, the company officially released the digital architectural design products based on Glodon Company Limited(002410) independent graphics platform (stand-alone public beta version) in the field of housing construction, and accelerated the research and development of structure, electromechanical, component and collaborative products. If the user acceptance of these products is lower than expected, there will be a risk that the company’s design business will not develop as expected.
