This is mainly due to the significant increase in rent caused by the main lessors, Beijing Chaofu State-owned Asset Management Co., Ltd., Beijing Hongchao Weiye State-owned Asset Operation Co., Ltd., and Beijing Jinchaoyang State-owned Capital Operation and Management Co., Ltd., resulting in a significant increase in leasing costs for the group during the period.
