Hexindai Launches Elite Influencers Program on Xiaobai Maimai

BEIJING, Sept. 25, 2020 — Hexindai Inc. (NASDAQ: HX) ("Hexindai" or the "Company"), a mobile e-commerce and consumer lending platform in China, today announced that the newly launched Elite Influencers Program on Xiaobai Maimai, a new-form of social e-commerce platform released in May 2020, has made good progress and delivered impressive results.

The Elite Influencers Program was designed for users of Xiaobai Maimai to attain higher returns on top of the regular commissions they receive for every purchase, share or recommendation of a product to family and friends. Users of Xiaobai Maimai can become Elite Influencers and enjoy higher commission rates as their influence reaches certain performance milestones. Currently, the Elite Influencers introduced to the platform are primarily WeChat merchants who have considerable influence on social e-commerce in China. This group of Elite Influencers were selected for their rich experience in social e-commerce, regular engagement with an extensive follower base, and their sales on WeChat, including popular shopping categories such as maternal and infant products, household goods, and cosmetic products.

Mr. Xiaobo An, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hexindai, commented, "The key to social e-commerce is effective communication between communities, and our Elite Influencers Program is a win-win solution built on effective communication. Leveraging their social influence and large follower base, Elite Influencers attract additional traffic to our platform and facilitate sales with every move they make on social media. They will enjoy higher commission rates without bearing the risks associated with maintaining stocks and inventories. At the same time, consumers can save on quality products with the discounts, coupons and rebates offered by Xiaobai Maimai. Since the launch of the Elite Influencers Program, we are very pleased to see significant improvements in a number of operating metrics on Xiaobai Maimai. In August 2020, our monthly active users accounted for approximately 61% of the total registered members of Xiaobai Maimai, representing a significant increase from 29% in June 2020. The monthly orders increased threefold from June 2020 to August 2020, and the number of monthly page views increased by nearly 60 times from June 2020 to August 2020. Going forward, we will continue to promote the Elite Influencers Program to more users, including influential WeChat merchants, retail store merchants, members of mothers’ clubs and farmers’ markets, and part-time merchants. We believe that the Elite Influencers Program will effectively expand our user base and increase traffic to and revenues generated from our platform. At the same time, we also intend to promote social employment through our efforts and further fulfill our corporate social responsibility."

Aetos Wins Two Trophies at the Global Forex Awards


LONDON, Sept. 25, 2020 — AETOS Capital Group (AETOS) has bagged another two awards at the Global Forex Awards presentation. The well-deserved titles "Best Forex Introducing Broker Program – Global" and the "Most trusted Forex Broker – Asia" add to the trophy lists that the market leading Forex Firm has achieved over the years.

 

 

According to Global Forex, the award’s champion is for cutting-edge technology, low-cost trading, comprehensive market research tools, advanced educational programs and world-class customer service to consumer/trader business. 

AETOS’ success comes with years of expertise and ongoing contributions to the Global Forex market.

In the past year, AETOS helped to donate to the frontline hospitals in the event of the global fight against Coronavirus, greatly phrased by the Australian local community. AETOS also very proudly renewed its partnership with Sydney FC for a third consecutive AFC Champions League campaign, which has further consolidated AETOS’s influence in the Asia-Pacific market.

AETOS has been working extremely hard to enlarge its market share in Asia, particularly in South East Asia. With a huge base of clients, the recognition from clients as well as Global Forex companies will encourage AETOS to work even harder in the coming years.

With the growing trading activity and increasing client numbers over the last few years, AETOS just announced its new CRM system in 2020, AETOS’ new BizCentre. With cutting edge technology, this new system is very user-friendly, enabling clients not only easily manage own account and client base in one place, but most importantly, effortlessly expand introducing broker business.

Product wise, share CFDs were included into the products that AETOS offered. The clients are able to speculate on the price movements of public listed companies on Australian and US Stock Exchanges on top of FOREX, indices, metals and energy CFDs products.

Although (due to Covid-19) Global Forex Awards ceremony will not happen this year, the organizer will be supporting the COVID-Solidarity Response Fund for the WHO with a financial donation that would otherwise have been used to host the official award winner’s ceremony.

While accepting the two awards, Company Director Ting Ji, praised the Global Forex’s move and is very proud to be part of it. He also pointed out that the awards showed the market recognition to AETOS’ effort in the past and the company will aim even bigger and higher in the future.

Ultromics Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for Pioneering AI-based Cardiovascular Suite, EchoGo

The SaaS suite helps physicians automate key measurements and predict the occurrence of CAD, enabling clinicians to proactively recommend preventive actions that improve patient outcomes

LONDON, Sept. 25, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the global AI-based echocardiography market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Ultromics with the 2020 Global New Product Innovation Award for enhancing diagnostic quality in cardiac care units with its AI suite, EchoGo. The FDA and CE-cleared solutions (respectively EchoGo Core and EchoGo Pro) not only automate measurements for heart functions but also empower physicians to predict the occurrence of coronary artery disease (CAD). With a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) format, they enable quick deployment, minimal training, and hassle-free upgrades.

2020 Global AI-based Echocardiography New Product Innovation Award
2020 Global AI-based Echocardiography New Product Innovation Award

"Ultromics’ EchoGo Core performs cardiac measurements, including ejection fraction (EF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), left ventricular (LV) volume, and myocardial strain reporting. By automating these measurements, Ultromics eases one of the most tedious steps in cardiovascular conditions’ diagnosis, thus saving time and removing inter-operator variability," said Parth Shah Research Analyst. "Meanwhile, EchoGo Pro serves as a clinical decision support tool for physicians by assessing the risk profiles of patients. As an industry-first solution within cardiac echocardiography, it enables early detection and prevention of CAD supported by evidence at the point of care."

Furthermore, being a cloud-based solution, it can be delivered as a SaaS model, which allows deployments to be completed faster than with traditional PACS software integrations. The SaaS model also does away with the need for future upgrades, patches, and associated fees. The solution is designed to be intuitive, minimizing the need for substantial user training required by other solutions. Once usage begins, it employs a zero-click, off-the-cart usage approach, eliminating the need for users to manually upload or cross-launch scans.

Being a vendor-neutral solution, Ultromics can target any provider, regardless of the echocardiography equipment they use, across regions. While the EchoGo solutions are currently available in the western markets, Ultromics will target the Asia-Pacific market in the future. Its adoption in developed markets received a major boost in 2020 when the Strain procedure obtained a CPT code that allows physicians to report and bill myocardial strain diagnosis. It is also one of the very few AI solutions in the imaging space to qualify for reimbursement.

"EchoGo’s pricing structure delivers significant return on investment with no upfront costs. While competitors offer comparable price points, their need for additional software upgrades and associated installation costs and efforts make them more expensive in the long term. Ultromics adopts a pay-per-use pricing model but can also offer a subscription model depending on the volume of procedures being conducted," noted Shah. "EchoGo automates the entire process, allowing physicians to save on costs while having zero user interactions to obtain results. Overall, Ultromics’ price-value proposition helps it capture a larger share of the market and positions it for continued growth globally."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed an innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge technologies. The award recognizes the value-added features/benefits of the product and the increased return on investment (ROI) it gives customers, which, in turn, raises customer acquisition and overall market penetration potential.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

About Frost & Sullivan

Third UNESCO Creative Cities Beijing Summit Calls for Open and Inclusive International Cooperation across Regions

BEIJING, Sept. 22, 2020 — With the theme of "Creativity empowers cities, technology creates the future", the Third UNESCO Creative Cities Beijing Summit, organized by Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission, explored how culture, creativity, and technology can enhance urban city management. The summit participants stressed the importance of international cooperation across regions.

"Digitalization has been a major game-changer and will certainly remain a key component of a new normal," said Lamia Kamal-Chaoui, Director of the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, Small & Medium Enterprises, Regions and Cities. "Many cities have adopted smart city tools, especially to deliver municipal service.

"Cities also have the opportunity to reconsider their tourism growth models and explore alternatives to large-scale tourism, by taking advantage of technology to showcase over-visited global attractions and promoting local industries."

Since Beijing was designated a UNESCO City of Design in 2012, its creative industry has become a new source of economic growth. The transformation of Shougang No. 3 Blast-Furnace – the venue of this summit – from a steel structure in an industrial park into an open space for the public, closely aligns with UNESCO’s mission and priorities.

Advocating for an open and inclusive city cooperation environment, many leaders stressed the importance of international cooperation during the summit.

Virginia Raggi, Mayor of Rome, stated, "We focus on urban regeneration as a factor in improving the well-being of residents and tourists, and strongly believe in international collaboration. Multilateralism and reciprocity represent the founding values of our democracy."

"If something was clear to all of us, it is that ‘no one can be saved alone’," said Enrique Avogadro, Minister of Culture of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires. "We have a unique opportunity to build a new reality and a future different from the one we had in mind. And more importantly, we can do it collectively, listening and giving space to all voices and ideas."

About the Third UNESCO Creative Cities Beijing Summit

The third UNESCO Creative Cities Beijing Summit is held in Beijing during September 17-18, 2020. The summit provides an international platform for discussion and networking, bringing together a diverse set of urban stakeholders, including Mayors and policymakers, representatives from UN agencies, academics and experts, as well as innovators and entrepreneurs. For more information on the summit, click here.

JinkoSolar Announces Strategic Plan of its Subsidiary to Access China’s Capital Markets

SHANGRAO, China, Sept. 21, 2020 — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. ("JinkoSolar") (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that its board of directors has approved a strategic plan to access China’s capital markets through its principal operating subsidiary Jinko Solar Co., Ltd. ("Jiangxi Jinko").

JinkoSolar is considering the opportunity to list Jiangxi Jinko, after certain intragroup restructuring, on the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s Sci-Tech innovation board (the "STAR Market"), an exchange intended to support innovative companies in China, within the next three years.  

To qualify Jiangxi Jinko for a STAR Market listing and to raise additional capital to support its continuous expansion, the board has also approved an equity financing of Jiangxi Jinko, under which certain China-based reputable third-party investors, JinkoSolar’s founders, Xiande Li, Kangping Chen and Xianhua Li, and senior management personnel have agreed to invest an aggregate of RMB 3.1 billion (approximately US$ 458 million) into Jiangxi Jinko for an aggregate of 26.7% equity interest in Jiangxi Jinko. The transaction has been negotiated at arm’s length at a pre-money valuation of Jiangxi Jinko’s equity value of RMB 8.5 billion (approximately US$1.26 billion), which is 15.6% higher than JinkoSolar’s market capitalization on September 18, 2020, and 45.4% higher than JinkoSolar’s average market capitalization for the 90 days preceding September 18, 2020. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed by the end of October 2020.

Mr. Kangping Chen, Chief Executive Officer of JinkoSolar, commented, "Listing Jiangxi Jinko on the STAR Market will enable it to access a new source of growth capital, which we believe will ultimately strengthen our leading position in the solar module industry and support our continuous growth over the long run. We believe the listings of JinkoSolar on the New York Stock Exchange and Jiangxi Jinko on the STAR Market will raise our profile with investors both in China and globally and provide us with additional opportunities to grow in the future."

Whether Jiangxi Jinko is able to be successfully listed on the STAR Market, the timing of the listing, and its valuation upon listing will depend on various factors, including but not limited to capital market conditions in China and globally, the regulatory environment for listed securities, Jiangxi Jinko’s business and financial performance and its fulfillment of the listing requirements in China.
