48、er-tiermarketischaracterized by a fragmented structure at both ends,with a multitude of upstreambrands,distributors and manufactures,and geographically dispersed downstream retailers.Under the traditional multi-layer distribution model utilized by major family care andnutrition product brands,the va
49、st small-scale offline retail stores,especially those in thelower-tier market,are typically limited to sourcing from last-layer distributors,resulting inelevated procurement costs,uncertain transaction security,limited product selections andunstable supply.Simultaneously,the traditional multi-layer
50、distribution model also leads tohigher distribution expenses for upstream brands and manufacturers,eroding theirprofitability.Such lengthy process also results in severe information asymmetry acrossthe transaction value chain where upstream brands and manufacturers cannot promptly andprecisely acces
51、s retail-level sales data,giving rise to regional inventory redundancy andhomogeneous product competition.To tackle such pain points,our Hipac platform,adopting an asset-light model,efficiently connects family care and nutrition product vendors(including manufacturers,distributors and brands)with a
52、wide range of buyers,fostering a fully integrated,healthy,symbiotic and sustainable ecosystem.As of December 31,2024,Hipac platform has becomethe largest commerce and service platform serving businesses in Chinas family care andnutrition product industry in lower-tier market in terms of GMV in 2024,
53、which connectedapproximately 4,200 registered vendors and approximately 290,000 registered buyerscovering 31 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions and across over 3,000counties and villages nationwide.For the year ended December 31,2024,our Hipacplatform had over 93,000 core buyers which p
54、laced over 24 orders on our platform duringthe year,with an average of 11 orders placed by each core buyer per month.SUMMARY 1 THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM,INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THATTHEINFORMATIONMUSTBEREADINCONJUNCTIONWITHTHESECTIONHEADED“WARNING”ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENTThe fo

68、 consumers growing demand for cost-competitive essential FMCGs,weoffer products of high quality at medium prices,creating a distinct competitive edge anddifferentiating ourselves from traditional leading brands that dominate the supermarketshelves.We have gradually built a diversified product matrix
