General
1. Throughout the prospectus numerous statements in your disclosure are unclear because
they are not written in plain English or the concept is not fully described. Please review

“The Corporation is engaged in trading the spot gold and the spot silver. Gold and silver
market is close to direct competition in the international market. Wanjun Xie, who is
president of the Corpora tion, has found some special trading ways which are our business
secret, and we believes that we can achieve about 3% -5% Annual Average Assets Return
with low risk when we will be trading the spot gold and the spot silver by using these
special trading way s. But we won't guarantee to achieve about 3% -5% Annual Average
Assets Return with low risk when we will be trading the spot gold and the spot silver.
Any investors can see the financial statement quarterly and annually, to know if the
Corporation will pro fit or lose.” (page 5)

items in default or in breach of any note, loan, lease or other indebtedness or financing
arrangement requiring the corporation to make payments . The Corporation isn't having or
won't anticipates having within the next 12 months a significant amount of the
Company's trade payables have not been paid within the stated trade term.” (page 6)
2. It appears that you qualify as an “emerging growth company ” as defined in the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act. If so, please disclose that fact in your filing.
3. Please supplementally provide us with copies of all written communications, as defined
in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, that you , or anyone aut horized to do so on your
behalf , present to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act,

4. Section (a)(2) of Rule 419 defines a blank check company as a company that is issuing
penny stock that is “a development stage company that has no specific business plan or
purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with
an unidentified company or companies, or other entity.” In discussi ng this definition in
the adopting release, the Commission stated that it would “scrutinize offerings for
attempts to create the appearance that the registrant has a specific business plan, in an
effort to avoid the application of Rule 419.” See Secur ities Act Release No. 33 -6932
(April 28, 1992).
Your disclosure indicates that you are a development stage company that intends to
invest in gold, silver, platinum, palladium, foreign currencies and stocks. Your

contracts regarding the company’s proposed products or services. We also note your
disclosure that this offering will not provide you with sufficient funds to provide the

the uncertainty ordinarily associated with a blank check company.
Accordingly, please revise your disclosure throughout your registration statement to
comply with Rule 419 of Regulation C or supplementa lly provide a detailed explanation
as to why Rule 419 does not apply to this offering. If you believe that you do not fall
within the definition of a blank check company, appropriate disclosure to demonstrate
your status as a non -blank check company shoul d be included in the prospectus as well as
a specific business plan. Please refer to Item 101(a)(2) of Regulation S -K. We offer the
following comments to help you revise your disclosure.
5. It also appears that you are a shell company as defined in Rule 4 05 of Regulation C,
because you have nominal operations and total assets consisting solely of cash and cash
equivalents. Please revise your disclosure throughout to account for the implications of
being designated a shell company. Alternatively, please exp lain why you are not a shell
company.

please provide a better explanation for “small part fund” and “important fund.” If you
must include technical terms in the body of your prospectus that are understood only by
industry experts, you must make every effort to concisely explain these terms where you
first use them. In addition, please do not use technical terms or industry jargon in your
explanations.
