to the Staff&rsquo;s comment, the Company clarified the background of the long-term loan from a third party and revised the description
of footnote (2) on page F-55 in the Registration Statement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In February 2022, the Company entered into a loan
agreement with a third party (the &ldquo;Third Party&rdquo;) to borrow $2.9 million, which has a sole purpose to establish Zhizhen Guorui
(Shanghai) Information Technology Development Co., Ltd. (&ldquo;Zhizhen Guorui&rdquo;). The Company used $2.9 million proceeds to establish
Zhizhen Guorui with other third parties, and gained significant influence over Zhizhen Guorui, which accordingly became our long-term
investment under equity method. See &ldquo;Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements &mdash; Note 8 Long-term Investment&rdquo;
on page F-54.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Pursuant to the loan agreement with the Third
Party, there are two main sources to repay the loan. The first repayment priority would be cash dividend from Zhizhen Guorui if it declared
any, following by the Company&rsquo;s own funds from normal operations till maturity date<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">.</FONT></P>



<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In the previous footnote (2), the investment income
from Zhizhen Guorui refers to the cash dividend from Zhizhen Guorui. The cash dividend from Zhizhen Guorui would become the source to
repay the loan in first priority if the Company receives any until the loan of $2.9 million was paid in full, and except for that, there
was no other restrictions or conditions related to the amount and timing of the cash dividend that would be payable to the Third Party.</P>
