  • Shimao Services Implements Five Major Strategies and Launches Municipal Services Manager to Help Improve Service Quality and Efficiency

    In October 2020, Shimao Services Holdings Limited (Shimao Services or the Company; HKG: 873), the leading comprehensive property management and community living services provider in China, was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and successfully embarked on a new journey in the capital market. By expanding its comprehensive property management services, diversified value-added services and smart city services, the Group has achieved high-quality growth.

    Shimao Services is positioned as leading comprehensive property management and community living service provider in China. With its brand concept focused on a “Better Smart Life”, Shimao Services is committed to becoming a leading full-scenario provider of city life services in China. In addition to further developing its comprehensive property management, diversified value-added services, smart city services and digital technology businesses, it also seeks to become one of the leading players in the property services industry by 2023.

    Implements five major strategies, including “1+1+X”
    The resources and market share of the property service industry are gradually becoming more concentrated on the market leaders, with competition within the industry becoming increasingly intense. Based on the Company’s current situation, as well as developments in the market, Shimao Services has meticulously developed its roadmap and implemented five strategies, including “1+1+X” (related diversification), horizontal integration, vertical integration, centralization, and updates.

    Take “1+1+X” as an example. The first “1” refers to comprehensive properties, including residential buildings, college campuses and other comprehensive business types. The second “1” refers to community value-added services, and “X” refers to city services. However, there may be more opportunities available in the future. Shimao Services follows a clear value investment philosophy and expands its scale through cooperation under its horizontal integration strategies. Priority will be given to cooperative agreements with regional leaders and leaders in niche markets. “We incubate one platform with another platform, to achieve the effect of ‘1+1>2′ through the cooperation of both parties,” said Ye Mingjie, Executive Director and President of Shimao Services.

    The vertical integration strategy, meanwhile, opens up multiple service types, such as housing, schools, hospitals, “SUNIT” and education institutions. While developing various businesses simultaneously, Shimao Services has proposed a centralized strategy to strengthen the development of its companies in five key cities: Hangzhou, Wuhan, Xi’an, Tianjin and Fuzhou. Take Hangzhou as an example. After cooperating with Zheda Sinew and Jinhu Property, the company joined forces with Yefeng Property once again in order to further increase the density and concentration of the Hangzhou market and enhance the comprehensive capabilities of a single market.

    As for the updates strategy, it is the final stage of Shimao Services’ post-investment integrated management plan, and is focused on further upgrades of its organizational capabilities and management mechanism; further improvement of its professional segment capabilities; and further strengthening of the coordination mechanism for project expansion. In August 2020, Shimao Services worked with Zheda Sinew and subsequently implemented its renewal strategy within the company. On 9th May of this year, Zheda Sinew upgraded its brand image and launched the ” Yulin Campus Service Ecology”. Shimao Services positioned it as China’s leading college campus service provider, reflecting the Group’s strategies of vertically developing the college campus market, consolidating its superior resources and empowering the company’s growth.

    A municipal service manager focused on promoting four main businesses
    Municipal services, an area that is ideal for exploring service scope and demonstrating comprehensive service capabilities, is regarded as a new blue ocean in the field of property management. By leveraging its strong and comprehensive service capabilities, Shimao Services has expanded into municipal services and has rapidly achieved breakthroughs. In this year’s interim report, municipal services became one of Shimao Services’ four main business segments for the first time and began to demonstrate its outstanding potential, bearing fruit in many regions across China. In the first half of 2021, the revenue from Shimao Services’ municipal service business reached RMB134 million.

    Shimao Services sees municipal services as a new strategic engine for its business growth and is therefore positioning itself as a municipal services manager to focus on promoting four main businesses, namely, municipal environment management, urban space management, municipal renewal management and smart urban management. Building on the foundation of its existing property management business, the company has extended its breadth of service from serving residents to serving “residents + citizens”, and from “serving within the service scope” to “serving within the service scope + serving beyond the service scope”, and expanded from a single property service to a full-spectrum service, helping to improve each city’s scientific, precise and intelligent management and participating in the creation of a better future for each city.

    Since May 2021, Shimao Services has cooperated with Shenzhen Shenxiong Environment Co., Ltd. (“Shenxiong Environment”) and Wuxi Jinshatian Technology Co., Ltd. (“Jinshatian Technology”) in establishing its layout across two key regions, namely the Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta region, and in building its core comprehensive capabilities in municipal services. Shenxiong Environment ranked among the top 10 environmental sanitation companies in the Greater Bay Area, and Jinshatian Technology ranked sixth in the municipal environmental sanitation industry in China. Both companies are national high-tech enterprises and possess the National Level 1 Qualification for Cleaning Services.

    Furthermore, Shimao Services has commenced cooperation with local governments in nine regions, including Jiangsu, Fujian, Guizhou, Sichuan and Heilongjiang. In addition, it has recently implemented two projects in the Sucheng District of Suqian City and the Acheng District of Harbin City, respectively. It is worth noting that in the future, Shimao Services plans to invest in its second national headquarters in Wenjiang District, Chengdu City, with the aim of expanding within the urban service area. Ye Mingjie said, “We will focus on leveraging our resources and advantages in community governance and municipal services to provide quality services such as management of municipal public properties, operation of urban spaces, and development and operation of smart communities, in order to help the central and western regions develop a new dynamic and smart living concept.”

    Striving to achieve five-fold growth in the next three years
    The state has introduced a series of favorable policies in an intensive fashion in recent years. Shimao Services believes that the introduction of these policies has created favorable conditions for the standardized operation of property enterprises and the long-term positive development of the industry. “The policies are conducive to the healthy development of the property service industry, especially for those property service enterprises that insist on a long-term development approach. Shimao Services has always been firmly optimistic about property services and is confident in its future quality development and high growth potential,” said Ye Mingjie.

    In the long run, Shimao Group and Shimao Services are optimistic about the property service sector. As an important part of Shimao Group’s “one body, two wings, aircraft-shaped” strategy, Shimao Services achieved five-fold growth in the past three years. In the next three years, Shimao Group will continue to increase its efforts in supporting the continuous rapid growth of Shimao Services’ property service segment, operating on the asset-light model.

    Looking ahead, Shimao Services will forge ahead by implementing its set strategies and by positioning itself as a leading comprehensive property management and community living service provider in China based on the brand concept of “Better Smart Life”. It will also strive to develop into a leading full-scenario provider of city life services in China. In addition, the Group will insist on realizing both short-term and long-term goals, seizing opportunities to build a presence in and further develop the four major business segments of comprehensive property management, diversified value-added services, smart city services and digital technology business, accelerate the implementation of its strategies, expedite expansion of its business scale and build new value-added engines. Such efforts will help the Group to achieve competitiveness that is enduring and which allows it to realize the goal of five-fold growth in the next three years.

  • Dusit International partners with leading educational and culinary institutes to develop Thailand’s first academy of gastronomy with business incubation facilities – ‘The Food School’

    Dusit International, one of Thailand’s leading hotel and property development companies, is set to expand its hospitality education business in the kingdom with a unique joint venture offering experiential training in Italian, Japanese, and Thai cuisines – plus exclusive incubation services for food and beverage startups – in a state-of-the-art facility in Bangkok.

    A winning partnership: Equity partners in the THB 336 million development include Dusit International; Glowfish Co-Working Space; Allied Metals; and La Scuola Internazionale di Cucina Italiana (ALMA).

    Called The Food School, the project occupies 3,200 sq m of thoughtfully designed space set over three floors at the new Creative & Startup Village in the city’s Sam Yan district, just a five-minute walk from Sam Yan MRT underground station.

    Equity partners in the THB 336 million development include Dusit International; Glowfish Co-Working Space (under privately owned real estate investment company, Heritage Estates Co., Ltd.); Allied Metals, one of Asia’s leading suppliers of professional kitchens and kitchen infrastructure; and La Scuola Internazionale di Cucina Italiana (ALMA), recognised as the world’s leading education and training centre for Italian cuisine.

    Designed to provide an innovative, progressive and experiential learning environment, and targeted at young professionals, keen amateurs, career-switchers, and entrepreneurs seeking to get the best possible start for their food and beverage businesses, The Food School will bring together three globally recognised institutions – including Dusit’s own Dusit Thani College; Japan’s renowned Tsuji Culinary Institute; and ALMA. Each will offer long-course modules in Thai cuisine, Japanese cuisine, and Italian cuisine and bakery, respectively.

    Students will also have access to The Food School’s unique entrepreneurial incubator platform, The Test Kitchen, which will offer facilities for product testing and experimentation; business planning services; professional coaching and mentorship from renowned local chefs; and exclusive opportunities to get financial support from investors during specially arranged pitching sessions.

    Alongside sourcing sustainable produce from selected farms throughout Thailand, the academy will bring in premium imported ingredients to ensure authenticity. Regular events will showcase innovations and new food and beverage business trends. A community dining room, meanwhile, will serve as a venue for students, instructors, locals, visitors, mentors and mentees to exchange ideas and evaluate new concepts.

    “The Food School aims to create a vibrant, dynamic and collaborative ecosystem that brings together Thailand’s food community to drive positive social, environmental, and economic developments in the food and beverage industry at large,” said Ms Suphajee Suthumpun, Group CEO, Dusit International. “Three clear highlights set The Food School apart as a unique proposition in Bangkok. First, it is the first mover in the market to offer multi-cuisine training and business incubation all under one roof. Second, its Test Kitchen facilities will provide an unrivalled opportunity for experienced or fledgling chefs and savvy entrepreneurs to trial new concepts, receive advice on these concepts from seasoned industry experts, and tap into Thailand’s dynamic food and beverage market. Third, the Food School will play an active role in the food and beverage community by hosting regular events that bring together key industry players to discuss the latest trends, evaluate concepts, and brainstorm the way ahead for established and upcoming food and beverage businesses alike.”

    Ms Suthumpun said that no other facility offers such comprehensive services for culinary startups and young professionals in Bangkok.

    “By responding to the professional needs of the market in the new normal, fully leveraging Dusit’s rich experience in providing hospitality education for more than 20 years, and offering direct access to mentorship from celebrated chefs and well-known restaurateurs in Thailand, and later globally, we look forward to helping The Food School’s students, entrepreneurial associates, and community supporters to fulfill their potential with services, facilities and hands-on learning specially created to equip them for success in the brighter post COVID-19 days ahead.”

    Ms Prim Jitcharoongphorn, Chairperson of the Executive Board at Allied Metals, said, “The highlight of The Food School facility is the design of kitchen classrooms that fosters teamwork and collaboration among peers. Our facility is equipped with eco-friendly equipment which is energy-efficient, user-friendly, and versatile. Kitchens at The Food School are truly state of the art. We are delighted that our innovative solutions will contribute to the sustainable development of culinary talents in Thailand by facilitating maximum productivity with minimal environmental impact.”

    Mr Gavin Vongkusolkit, Managing Director of Heritage Estates Co. Ltd & Founder of Glowfish Co-Working Space, said, “Glowfish is all about people, community, and genuine collaboration, and any partnership or project we undertake will always be built on these solid foundations. Bringing our expertise in value-driven collaboration to The Food School, we look forward to building a thriving ecosystem of creativity and innovation, not only for Thailand’s food industry but also for the wider benefit of tourism, agriculture, wellness, sustainability, entrepreneurship, education and many connecting parts of our society and economy.”

    Leon Fuat Berhad (Leon Fuat or the Group), primarily in the business of trading, processing and/or manufacturing (collectively referred to as processing) of steel products, specialising in rolled long and flat products, is pleased to announce that the Group is making its move towards having sustainable energy powering production operations through an investment in solar panels.

    Mr, Ooi Seng Khong, Group Managing Director of Leon Fuat

    A total of RM5.26 million is being invested for solar panels as part of the Group’s sustainability initiatives and these panels will be gradually installed in stages depending on the readiness of project sites.

    Group Managing Director of Leon Fuat, Mr. Ooi Seng Khong said, “We see this move as a good investment for the environment in the long run to reducing CO2 emissions as we are using renewable solar energy and it will also lower the cost of energy consumption. This initiative will help us in our energy management initiatives and solar power is environmentally sustainable as well as effective.”

    “We have been monitoring both electricity and fuel consumption as part of our sustainability initiatives since the financial year ended 31 December 2017 and are cognisant of the need to source for more sustainable sources of energy for our steel processing operations. The installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels will have a capacity of 2.1 million kWh per year, and we expect to save an estimate of 30% savings in electricity consumption per year when the solar panels are fully completed.”

    For disclosure purposes, three of the Group’s subsidiaries involved in steel processing consumed a total of 4.9 million kWh of electricity in 2020, which is a 37.1% increase from 2019.

    “We will continue to build organisational capacity to adapt to a sustainable future while focusing on the strategy to improve productivity through sustainable practices and bring value to our stakeholders,” Ooi said.

    2021 Global Digital Trade Conference successfully concludes

    As China’s first large-scale digital trade themed event, the 2021 Global Digital Trade Conference and Wuhan (Hankoubei) Commodities Fair aims to promote the development of China’s digital economy, showcasing Wuhan’s strengths in the global digital trade and driving China’s “dual circulation” strategy, marking a new milestone for the trading system of the future.

    Various forums and thematic events on digital technology empowerment were organised to support Wuhan’s vibrant commercial and logistics center development, including the opening ceremony, China’s wholesale market annual meeting, cross-border cooperation promotion events, and the digital trade and technology thematic conference. The conference focused on current digital trade issues, providing a platform that facilitated discussions and exchanges around the development of the digital economy and trade to build a bridgehead for “dual circulation” between China and the rest of the world.

    A new white paper on Global Digital Trade was also launched at the event, shedding insights into the current development of digital trade from the existing digital infrastructure, policies, technologies, and capital. The paper analyses how digital technologies and supply chain services can bring about profound changes to global trade and the development prospects of digital trade. Experts and scholars also highlighted the importance of the digital economy as a key driver for China’s “dual circulation” development strategy, with Wuhan among China’s most promising cities for the digital economy.

    Fifteen leading national enterprises and institutions, including Digital China, Alibaba, Ant Group, and JD Group have signed a cooperation proposal to increase investments and support Wuhan’s construction of a national trade and logistics center in Central China. ZALL Smart Commerce Group also signed a digital service agreement with 15 wholesale markets across China, including Shandong Linyi Trade City, Chengdu Hehuachi Market and Shenyang Wuai Market Clothing City to promote digital upgrading of China’s national wholesale markets.

    The diverse formats and trade activities of the Wuhan (Hankoubei) Commodities Fair exemplify how “goods sell well when they reach Hankou” during the new era. The event attracted China’s well-known brand manufacturers and popular products, featuring 39 commodity-themed exhibition areas across the country, including Guangdong Pavilion, Hunan Pavilion, Chu Chamber of Commerce, Jiangxi Pavilion, and Hubei’s 17 cities and prefectures. A total of 30 themed commodity trade activities were held during the event to promote Hubei’s local brands and culture, and 113 procurement events were organized to support domestic consumption, including the Hankoubei Hotel Supplies Expo, the first Wuhan-style Children’s Clothing Trade Fair; and China’s National Footwear Brands Exhibition.

    The integration of domestic and foreign trade, and building a bridgehead for “dual circulation” between China and the rest of the world is a key objective of this year’s flagship event that aims to promote the development of a high-level open world economy. Accolades were received from hundreds of diplomatic representatives and foreign business delegates regarding Wuhan’s efforts to promote commodities trade and support economic, trade, and technological exchanges. 80% of the international trade platforms that participated were first-timers. They include cross-border e-commerce expo, Hubei’s export-to-domestic trade fair, eight cross-border e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon, eBay, Wish, Newegg, and 50 cross-border service organisations, including PingPong Payments. The European Pavilion, Shanghai Cooperation Pavilion, and ASEAN Pavilion were also launched and featured products from more than 50 countries.

  • Blockchain-based Memorial Platform Enables Users to Preserve Cherished Memories

    Blockchain-based Memorial Platform Enables Users to Preserve Cherished Memories

    A soft spot in the digital revolution: Stonses launches platform preserving digital memories of loved ones

    Stonses, a Dubai-based startup, has launched a blockchain-powered platform which allows for preserving the memories of our loved ones in a digital format. Stonses’ platform, which enables users to create unique digital identities with real-world objects, is built on a blockchain-powered asset management and NFT platform from UAE-based Verofax.

    In today’s digital era, our memories of people exist in the physical as well as the digital world. However, these memories may be scattered across devices or locations, some lost and others discarded, while the memories are also lost. Stonses aims to bring a permanence to those memories, through digital replicas of real-world objects linked to NFTs created by family friends and colleagues.

    To make this happen, Stonses’ platform leverages NFT technology with QR codes as physical interactions, which the user can attach to any object that reminds them of their loved ones. A digital replica of the object is then built, and a unique identity is assigned to the object. This data is loaded onto an immutable blockchain, which enables the user to preserve the object and its associated memories forever, with control of the data to decide what is made public and what remains private, defining who has the right to create memories and who has only read access. By scanning the QR tag that connects the object to its digital replica, the user can instantly bring it, and the memories associated with that object, back to life. Thus, the QR tag serves as the bridge between a person’s memories and objects associated with them, and sharing with the public, amongst close family or a friends network securely, with Blockchain.

    Stonses CEO Miha Balek says “The gift industry will reach $43.3 bn by 2027; objects are increasingly associated with people who own, use or gift them. Digital and physical objects create digital tokens, backed by Blockchain technology. Our memorial platform is the first to help preserve and exchange personal belongings across generations with technology, treasured assets to be transferred with ownership based on smart contracts.”

    Wassim Merheby, CEO of Verofax, adds “When an object is replicated or digitally combined with certified content, its replica is called a digital twin or non-fungible Token. The first NFT project launched in 2015 on the Ethereum blockchain, but today assets and belongings can be tokenized digitally by making use of blockchain technology, which helps establish ownership and identity and seamless conditional transfer among user wallets.

    While our blockchain-based asset management shoulders the Stonses memorial platform, it is also leveraged for other use-cases across industries. Retailers are using Verofax’ solution to render digital identities to their products along with information around origin, composition, and environmental sustainability. Verofax is a Microsoft co-selling gold partner whose solutions are also published to the Azure AppSource marketplace.

    The ability to interface stakeholders securely and enable easy asset transfer and content access opens up new possibilities for organizations like Stonses, which is leveraging the direct-to-consumer interface to consolidate memories and assets of significance value. Stonses business model adds value to our personal lives, value that goes beyond the realm of monetary measures and efficiencies to that of meaningfulness.”
