Launch of international B2B e-commerce platform
During the period, JQW launched its English language B2B e-commerce platform www.jqwmall.com. The platform
was established to enable certain of JQW's premier members and other new members, who are high quality local
suppliers to consider expanding their sales internationally.
As announced on 2 July 2014, it is the Group's intention at this early stage of development, to open this site only to
members in industries where there is an international price competitive position and where there are lower barriers
for exports. The Company is satisfied with the current response to JQW Mall from the market. The management
believes the contribution will grow in the future and the international platform will become an important revenue
stream for the Company. JQW is now actively recruiting relevant talent to help develop the international platform
business and at the appropriate time will commence a full marketing programme to support its promotion.
