In the first half of the year, the company transferred 51% of its subsidiaries Hairong Xingda and Longtianlu to Wanli Rongrui (the actual controller is Citic Industrial Fund), resulting in a year-on-year decline in operating income, but at the same time brought 308 million yuan in investment income, a significant contribution to performance. The company's main business of shopping center operation and management has developed steadily, and the number of shopping malls has grown to nearly 40. It is proposed to acquire the assets of shopping centers under construction in Shanxi and Qingdao, and the market share is expected to continue to increase in the future.
Promote the light asset strategy and focus on the capital operation company's light asset operation strategy. After selling shares in two subsidiaries in the first half of the year, they will be entrusted to manage the shopping mall properties of the subsidiaries and collect management fees, while retaining the actual operation rights of the shopping center. This kind of equity transfer helps companies to improve the liquidity of assets, achieve the recycling of capital, and bring higher investment returns. The company has already issued BHG Reit in Singapore. In the future, the company may continue to sell mature properties to Reit and provide management services to improve cash flow, optimize financial structure and improve operational efficiency.

The company plans to increase 860 million yuan to introduce CITIC Industrial Fund as the second largest shareholder. Previously, the two sides have successfully cooperated with each other to invest in projects such as "singing bar" and "ele.me" to effectively assist the development of the company's main business while earning profits. We believe that in the future, the company will continue to accelerate the pace of equity investment for the purpose of financial investment and strategic cooperation, relying on the strong project resource advantages of CITIC Industrial Fund.
Third, profit forecast and investment suggestions after the introduction of CITIC Industrial Fund, the company is expected to take advantage of its project resources to increase equity investment and cultivate new profit growth points.
