Ingdan Innovations is the Group's technical service platform engaged in chips sales,while Ingfin Services offers both the Company's proprietary products and financing services. The model has resulted in strong performance in both profit and revenue in the first half of 2020.

The investment will provide capital and resources to support the expansion of Cogobuy's market share in the trillion-RMB domestic chip market,which will help Cogobuy both resume and maintain a high growth rate in the future.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2020,China has invested in infrastructure as way to resume and stabilize the domestic economy,which has further facilitated domestic 5G infrastructure development and driven the demand for high-end chips. We expect domestic demand for high-end chips to increase significantly in the near term and following years,providing an opportunity for significant growth in our chip sales. We look forward to continuing to meet the demands arising from new 5G industries as they develop,and creating greater value for our shareholders.
