Q & A Highlights

Q: What's the current progress of the cooperation with New World and what are the company's expectations? A: Our partnership with New World, a leading agriculture company in China, marks our transformation from a service provider to a supply chain enabler. With Quhuo's nationwide on-demand delivery network, the efficiency of beef delivery to merchants has significantly improved. During the pilot phase, several merchants have already experienced efficiency gains. Both parties will establish a joint venture to incubate new restaurant brands. By 2025, this cooperation is expected to contribute significant revenues and become a new growth driver for the company. We plan to expand this model to other food service providers requiring high standards for food preservation, offering flexible and efficient supply chain services. - Barry Ba, Chief Financial Officer
