Exploring more possibilities of AI in the sinking market, HUITONGDA NET (09878) joins DeepSeek's "circle of friends".

With the emergence of the domestic large-scale model DeepSeek, a wave of AI heat has been ignited at home and abroad with "China speed." It is noted that before the festival, DeepSeek-R1 emerged, with model reasoning capabilities comparable to mainstream models like Open AI o1 and DALL-E3, while making significant breakthroughs in cost savings and openness in terms of computational power. Morgan Stanley's report shows that the training cost of DeepSeek R1 is only one thirtieth of ChatGPT, demonstrating the advantages of high efficiency and low cost. As an exemplary enterprise nurturing new productive forces, HUITONGDA NET (09878) has actively seized the major trend in the field of artificial intelligence in recent years, empowering rural husband-and-wife stores in the sinking market, solving the pain points of digital transformation, further enabling artificial intelligence for member store operations, and providing more competitive "buying assistance" and "selling assistance" support. Recently, HUITONGDA NET has made new moves in the AI field. It is learned that on February 10, 2025, the company's "Thousand Orange Cloud SaaS+" platform has fully integrated DeepSeek. HUITONGDA NET has been continuously deepening its digital and SaaS+ business strategy, independently developing the "Thousand Orange Cloud" service product matrix, and developing vertical AI large-scale models, covering digital retail management, online store management, brand activity promotion, marketing data analysis, and other multi-functional modules. It provides a comprehensive e-commerce solution for stores, integrating "procurement, marketing, sales." After integrating DeepSeek, the Thousand Orange Cloud SaaS+ platform will achieve a comprehensive upgrade in five categories and dozens of sub-categories such as "digital management," "intelligent services," "marketing services," "supply chain optimization," and "omni-channel business expansion." This move will inject an "AI engine" into the full process management actions of member stores, helping them improve the digitization level of operations such as product procurement and community marketing, assisting industrial sectors in more accurately determining market demand and driving product development and production. Moreover, this will effectively reduce operating costs, improve profitability, and promote the effective implementation of "new quality productivity" and the continuous circulation of urban and rural areas. Since 2024, HUITONGDA NET has fully launched the "industrial upgrade" strategy, deepening research and development and production in industries such as home appliances, agricultural supplies, and alcoholic beverages, by laying out upstream factories through shareholding and mergers. It aims to increase profitability by using more self-developed products. The company also expands into new tracks, models, and channels, upgrades product selection logic, and transitions from single "slow-moving goods" to "high-frequency" and "high-margin" comprehensive consumption. With the further integration of the Thousand Orange Cloud SaaS+ platform into the DeepSeek ecosystem, in addition to serving terminal retail customers such as member stores, it will further drive the implementation of efficient and innovative supply chain models such as "demand-driven production." This will more accurately achieve product development and production, and upgrade sales channels, injecting new momentum into HUITONGDA NET's industrial upgrade strategy. Additionally, through the Thousand Orange Cloud SaaS+ platform, HUITONGDA NET will actively deploy AI technology in Shenzhen Agricultural Power Group and rural resource upgrading, collaborate with local governments and leading enterprises to establish deeper technology, supply chain, and capital cooperation, and promote the scale and systemization of the Shenzhen Agricultural Power Group's transition from rural to urban areas. This will further open up the company's imagination space in the potential AI track. Leveraging the accumulation and experience of HUITONGDA NET in the ToB services of the retail industry in China's sinking market, combined with the advantages of DeepSeek in ecological synergy, the company will not only reduce costs but also enhance its level of intelligence and operational efficiency, through the connection platform covering over 24.6 thousand rural husband-and-wife stores in over 21 provinces and municipalities in China, building a more efficient business model, further driving industry reform and development. Overall, DeepSeek is reshaping the global AI landscape, and the integration of HUITONGDA NET's platform with DeepSeek is undoubtedly an effective way to open up new growth poles for its own development. At the same time, this also demonstrates how artificial intelligence, as a representative of digital technology, actively promotes the development of rural revitalization. As the Hong Kong stock market delves deeper into AI application scenarios, the strong alliance between HUITONGDA NET and DeepSeek is worth market anticipation. HUITONGDA NET stated that in the future, the company will continue to collaborate with more artificial intelligence service companies like DeepSeek, continuously explore the application of AI technology in the dual-flow market of urban and rural areas, provide innovative digital solutions for upstream and downstream industry partners, further enhance the company's leading position in the huge potential ToB service industry in the sinking market. The company will also adhere to technological innovation to fulfill corporate social responsibility, promote the further integration of the digital economy with rural revitalization, and help with the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.
