In 2021, the company encountered unprecedented difficulties in its development. During the preparation of the company’s 2020 annual report, the company’s management noticed that there were doubts about the commercial essence of some businesses and made every effort to promote business verification. On June 20, 2021, the shareholder of the company, Yunnan Jiutian Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd.
