Jiangsu Province is one of the most economically developed provinces in China. Yixing City is famous for Zisha art, and is also a gathering place for several famous Zisha artists and calligraphy and painting masters. We have established good and stable relationships with art enthusiasts (including artists, agents, art masters, experts, art dealers, collectors, and art galleries and private museums), some of whom are located in Jiangsu or Yixing. They provide art as pawns to obtain our art pawn loans, and commission auctions or purchase high-value works of art at our art auctions. We have established a long-term market base in Yixing City and have established good relationships with local art enthusiasts. Coupled with relatively adequate supply from neighboring regions, it has greatly enhanced our ability to solicit high-value zisha art and other works of art, which helps attract potential buyers to participate in our art auctions. Furthermore, due to the relatively localized nature of the pawn loan industry, through years of operation, we have accumulated deep local knowledge and established close cooperative relationships with existing and target customers in the region. Locking in high-quality works of art as pawn loans and for art auctions will reduce our business risk and improve profitability.

Professional ability and expertise in art appraisal and evaluation is one of the most important elements in the art pawn loan and art auction business. After years of operation, some art enthusiasts are joint customers of our two business divisions. They are borrowers of our pawn loans and sellers and/or buyers of our art auctions. Our art storage facility for loan pawns and for art auctions is located at our headquarters and managed by us.
