During the year, the Group leveraged the "residential + commercial" dual-driven model, to expand its non-residential business portfolio while strengthening its cooperation and merger and acquisition efforts. The Group entered into an equity cooperation arrangement with Wuhan Huidehang Elite Property Service Co., Ltd. to complement each other in terms of regions and sectors, which increased the Group's market share in the Central China region. The Group acquired 80% interest in two Nanjing-based property management enterprises, namely Gaoli Property Services Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Gaoli Meijia Property Co., Ltd., to achieve leapfrog development in the non-residential property service submarket and filled the gap in the property management submarket of the automobile display venue industry.

In addition, the Group gave play to its advantage of "home-base" in Nanjing to expand its urban services development tracks and establish a presence in the public construction sector. Following the strategic cooperation with Taishan Street, Jiangbei New District, Nanjing in 2020, the Group signed a strategic agreement with Xigang Street, Qixia District, Nanjing in 2021, which focused on the incubation and expansion of projects in sectors such as public services and municipal management services, in a bid to develop the urban service sector. The Group has successively gained a foothold in various residential communities to help steadily promote the renovation of old residential communities and provide intensive and comprehensive urban services, demonstrating a sound brand clustering effect.

Great efforts in providing quality services: Further enhance service capabilities to meet the increasing demand for high-quality products
Looking ahead, the Group will continue to adhere to its "customer-centric" service philosophy and further improve service standards. It will also continue to enrich the service offerings and standards of its product lines and achieve rapid replication of service standards, so as to ensure continuous customer satisfaction and maintain its brand reputation. For residential properties, the Group will further upgrade scenario-based community services and optimize the living experience. For non-residential properties, the Group will leverage the success of its benchmark projects to accelerate the market expansion of non-residential properties. For urban services, the Group will build regional economies of scale by utilizing its service quality and brand influence in Taishan Street in Jiangbei New District and Xigang Street in Qixia, continue to develop the core competitiveness of its urban services and enhance its capabilities in grassroots community governance.

Great efforts in operations: Further achieve leapfrog improvement in operating capabilities
Leveraging its "residential + commercial" dual-driven strategy, the Group will achieve steady growth in the scale of property management. Strategically, the Group will focus on the Greater Jiangsu Region and core cities where it has already established a foothold in order to accelerate the expansion of the non-residential market and further optimize the market structure and management density. Tactically, it will focus on urban services and push ahead with marketization. The Group is aiming to expand into third-party projects through multiple channels such as tendering and bidding and strategic cooperation. The Group will further build a "platform + ecosystem" value-added community service chain to meet the diversified and multi-layered needs of residents.

Great efforts in innovation: Further strengthen innovative capabilities to promote high-quality development
Empowered by technology and intelligence, smart property development has become the dominant trend and is a powerful tool that the Group can leverage. The Group's intelligent construction in 2022 mainly comprises four major smart platforms, namely, "Hongtu Panoramic Smart Data Platform", "All-Dimensional Planning and Management Platform", "Redsun Services APP" and "Hong Life APP". The Group will continue to accumulate technological achievements and smart platform operation experience to improve service quality, operational efficiency, digital decision-making capabilities and management, as well as real-time response time, which in turn will help to enhance management precision and [control] efficiency.

In addition, the Group has grasped the new opportunities brought about by smart and low-carbon development in line with the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" goals, to enhance its technological strengths and the competitiveness of its independent intellectual property rights, thereby facilitating the upgrade of its property management services. In 2021, the Group was granted a utility model patent technology by the China National Intellectual Property Administration for the first time, which makes full use of artificial intelligence and the AIOT platform to realize interconnectivity, enabling thorough understanding of the operation of drainage pipelines, facilitating prompt response to flooding, and thereby ensuring a safe commute for property owners. The Group also won the 2021 China Excellent Listed Property Management Companies by ESG Development.

In the future, Redsun Services will practice the "Yan'an Spirit" in the new era, remaining true to its beliefs with perseverance and persistence. The Group will endeavor to become a venerable property services operator by continuously enhancing its service quality, operational efficiency and innovative capabilities to reward all employees and shareholders with high-quality and sustainable growth.
