<li>Guming generates revenue mainly from the sales of goods/equipment to its franchisees (or ToB business). So, Guming’s future growth depends significantly on its ability to operate and expand store network.</li>
<li>China’s freshly-made beverage market is highly competitive. Guming is unlikely to catch up with MIXUE, but Guming will be overtaken by the rest players if it fails to compete effectively.</li>
<li>Due to Guming’s business model, investors're hard to see the real picture of Guming solely based on its revenue/profits.

<li>The business model of MIXUE is S2B2C. The expansive and highly efficient supply chain is the bedrock of MIXUE’s industry leading performance and scale, setting it apart from its peers.</li>
<li>MIXUE has more flexibility to diversify its business to explore new growth points and is also more resilient to risks/industry changes, which determines sustainability and growth ceiling of future development.</li>
<li>As competition for freshly-made tea drinks industry intensifies, capital has become “impatient”. As an industry leader, now is the best time for an IPO. MIXUE’s valuation could reach US$10 billion.</li>
