CICC has accompanied the development of the Company since 2018 and assisted the company in formulating diversified capital operation plan. Based on the fully  exploration of the listing path of NGS technology companies, the most suitable solution is recommended to the Company, which has been highly recognized by the management team as well as shareholders. 

Under the environment of global outbreak of COVID-19 and global political and economic instability, the IPO market environment is extremely volatile and the issuance window is fleeting. CICC has arranged multiple rounds of conferences with investors to test the water in the early stage and communicated closely with the core investment institutions of the market. At the same time, based on the precise research and judgment of the macro economy and the timely grasp of investor sentiment, CICC accurately recommended the issuance window and finally successfully completed the issuance.

Through arranging multiple rounds of high-quality investor meetings and providing professional analysis delivered by research analysts, CICC helped the Company successfully implement multiple high-quality investor orders before official bookkeeping, which obtained high recognition from the management. Ultimately CICC secured significant Asian investor demand for the Company, which enabled the issuer to upsize the offering (from 163 mn US$ to 256 mn US$ pre-shoe).
