To further ensure the overall progress of the project's investment and construction and effectively improve the efficiency of capital use, it is agreed that Shanghai Century Longteng Data Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Century Longteng"), a subsidiary indirectly holding 50.1% equity of the company's holding subsidiary Shenzhen Yixun Technology Co., Ltd.
