On the one hand, the Group sought to strengthen its main real estate business and to improve its diversified industries; and on the other hand, the Group integrated various business platforms to create synergy through the coordinated development among industries. Driven by China's market policy, the Group will continue to serve the needs of human beings for a better life and promote new breakthroughs in the Group's performance in order to achieve better performance.

According to the actual needs in the seriously affected areas, medical supplies including masks and protective clothing will be purchased and provided, thereby offering necessary help to front line medical staff and other relevant workers combating the pandemic.

PROSPECTS AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

Looking forward to 2020, maintaining the "stability" of China's real estate market will still remain as the top priority. Specifically, maintaining the continuity and stability of policy to prevent drastic fluctuations of real estate market, and a full implementation of "Policy by City", which in turn will be conducive to achieving long-term control objectives of stabilizing land and housing prices and maintaining market expectations, thus stable and healthy development of the real estate market will be attained. The Chinese economy is under downward pressure; however, the Chinese government stepped up its efforts on the "Six Stability" policy, that is "stabilizing employment, finance, foreign trade, foreign investment, domestic investment, and expectations" over the years, which achieved significant results in the past year, and GDP has maintained steady growth throughout the year. The impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak on the real estate market in China may be short-lived. Home buyers are merely delaying purchases rather than completely putting their home purchase plans on hold. As the fight against the virus is ongoing across the country, the demand is expected to pick up when the epidemic is brought under control.

The Group remains optimistic about future prospects. Adhering to the corporate mission of "creating new urban life" and the strategic guiding principle of "focusing on the demand of the public", the Group further developed its cultural education, health care, film and entertainment, and cultural leisure tourism segments based on its existing business and sophisticated development and investment concepts, and extended their presence to the whole Yangtze River Delta region.

Among numerous developing projects, the International Office Center (the "IOC") project remained a key development project of the Group. The completed Jiarun Mansion in Lot A3 had been generating recordbreaking sales for the Group. The development of the IOC (Lot A2) was commenced at the end of 2018. The IOC project was expected to continue to drive the property sales revenue of the Group, thus to assure the steady growth in the Group's revenue from property sales in the future.

Highlong Plaza and its surroundings will be built into commercial underground space, with business elites and surrounding residential residents as the core customer group. It will integrate three functions of business center + subway hub + tourist attraction into one to create a space for stylish experiences that comprising the themes of leisure, entertainment, music and trends. The mall will comprehensively enhance the brand influence of "Happy Time", and will integrate with IP to form a theme series. The Times Square in Yuyao will connect shopping malls, commercial streets in Zone B and the Central Grand Plaza; and will introduce food trunks, street markets, outdoor decoration, and children's sports and entertainment facilities so as to create night culture at the Plaza by delicacy, beauty and fun, and thus attract more visitors. Xixi New City will be transformed into an innovative and entrepreneurial industrial park with high-end sophisticated future industries as its core. There will be four major centers, including "service center, office center, R&D center, and production center" + future incubation space in pursuit of pioneering and innovation in business sectors.
