Tencent Cloud Signs Agreement with Japanese Beauty Company Premier Anti-Aging to Bolster Smart Retail Strategy

Memorandum of Understanding signed to strengthen the company’s cross-border sales in mainland Chinese market

HONG KONG, April 26, 2021 Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of Tencent, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Premier Anti-Aging Co. Ltd., a Japanese cosmetics company, for the use of Tencent Cloud’s resources and technologies as well as to leverage Tencent’s huge and unique ecosystem in pushing forward the brand’s smart retail strategy and to help expand the sales of beauty products in the mainland Chinese market.

The MoU, signed by Kiyoshi Matsuura, Director and CEO of Premier Anti-Aging, and Zhao Jiannan, Managing Director of Tencent Cloud for Northeast Asia, signifies the agreement between the two parties to explore the utilization of Tencent Cloud services and solutions, supported by the comprehensive Weixin ecosystem. These include the opening and operation of a Weixin Official Account and Mini Program; the use of big data and cloud technology to understand Chinese consumer habits and preference; and the establishment of an interaction platform to recommend appropriate content to consumers in order to improve marketing efficiency. The collaboration will allow Premier Anti-Aging to connect and engage Chinese customers via the popular, daily communication and social services in Chinese mainland, putting the brand’s smart retail strategies in action and maximizing the brand’s potential in reaching more cosmetics users in the mainland.

Japanese cosmetics and skincare products are emerging in China as sought-after commodities: While a phenomenal growth of Japanese cosmetics brands during the Double 11 Shopping Festival in 2020 was observed, Japan has already become one of the major players in China’s imported beauty. Japan’s exports to China have also hit a record high for six consecutive years, with sales accounting for more than 70 percent according to the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association, proving that Japanese beauty brands are breaking into the mainstream and gaining popularity in the Chinese market.

Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President, Tencent Cloud International, who stood as witness in the signing of the MoU, said, "Leveraging our expertise and experience with Chinese consumers, Tencent Cloud is glad to be providing our state-of-the-art technologies and comprehensive data services to boost the already strong sales performance and brand recognition of Premier Anti-Aging in Chinese mainland, and bring its products to more Chinese consumers. Tencent Cloud looks forward to helping the brand expand its horizons, specifically with its beauty and cosmetic products, in the Chinese market."

Kiyoshi Matsuura, Director and CEO, Premier Anti-Aging, said, "Since 2009, we have been developing our cosmetics business to enrich people’s lives through anti-aging skin care products. We have recently been receiving more and more interest from overseas customers, and we look forward to fully expanding into overseas markets, such as China. Through the help of our collaboration with Tencent Cloud, we are setting our sights on serving the cosmetics needs of Chinese consumers via reliable, safe and secure technology."

Gree Announces High Efficiency Smart Home Appliances On Amazon US

ZHUHAI, China, April 20, 2021 — Gree Electric Appliances, INC., a world leader for air conditioners and home appliances, launched a series of home appliances on Amazon US.

Delivering a convenient and comfortable home experience to US consumers, the new portfolio offers a wider range of efficiency levels and functions to suit most every size room and user need with Gree’s most cutting-edge technology.

The newly launched window air conditioner incorporates functions of cooler, dehumidifier, and fan. By utilizing the most advanced compressors and the new R32 refrigerant, Gree window air conditioner can quickly cool down your space while keeping zero harm to the environment. It is available in 8,000 BTU and 10,000 BTU options for rooms from 350 sq.ft. to 450 sq.ft., with three modes of Auto, Energy Saving, and Sleep, as well as 3 speeds and a 24-hour timer, to accommodate diverse consumer demands and room sizes. When operating as a dehumidifier, it can remove up to 73 pints of moisture per day. And it can also be used in the fan-only mode when you need some fresh air. It is a perfect fit for those who need an all-purpose air conditioner for various scenarios.

The all-new Gree window air conditioner also comes with a unique "I FEEL" smart temperature control design, enabling it to sense and adjust the indoor temperature more accurately. If the controller receives an I FEEL command, it will work to the ambient temperature value sent per 10 minutes once by the remote controller.

With a LED display and remote control, it can monitor and adjust intuitively the temperature and settings from anywhere in the room. It also has an automatic cleaning prompt and a high-density filter to keep the air clean and hygienic. In addition, the compact design of Gree window air conditioner enables consumers to install and operate it easily.

In addition to the window air conditioner, Gree also announces the portable air conditioner Shiny is available on Amazon.

Gree Dehumidifier "Chalet"

The company also introduced a new portable dehumidifier "Chalet" that provides three types of customized modes that remove up to 21/35/50 pints of water every 24 hours for consumers. Notably, a 50 pint Chalet with a pump can drain water to a height of 5M.

Chalet will stop running if the water bucket fills up, helping save time and use the automatic drainage function by hooking up a 3/4-inch dehumidifier drain hose to your dehumidifier. Furthermore, Chalet features a new design of wind turbine blades. The peak sound level is 46 decibels (when using high speed), quieter than a private suburban street or a normal conversation at home.

Having gained the Energy-Star, chalet can quickly remove moisture from the air without running up your utility bill. It is good for environmental protection and costs 30% less to operate than non-Energy Star appliances.
