                                            note your disclosure on page F-22 that the Company issued 1,220,374 ordinary shares to Shanghai
                                            Xinhui in exchange for a cash consideration of RMB 5.82 million and that you recognized the
                                            difference between the fair value of the issued shares and the purchase price as a share-based
                                            compensation expense to Mr. Botao Ma, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
                                            the Company. Please tell us how you determined this transaction resulted in compensation
                                            expense and provide us your accounting analysis including the authoritative accounting guidance
                                            you relied on in reaching your conclusion. Please also explain to us in detail how you applied
                                            the discounted cash flow method to determine the fair value of ordinary shares to determine
                                            fair value of the underlying common shares.

Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff of our analysis as below:

    a.
    Accounting analysis on issuance of 1,220,374
    ordinary shares to Shanghai Xinhui

In May 2023, we issued 1,220,374 ordinary shares to Shanghai
Xinhui for proceeds of RMB 5,820,049 at RMB 4.77 per share. Shanghai Xinhui is solely owned and controlled by Mr. Botao Ma, Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Mr. Ma”). The fair value of the ordinary shares at the issuance date
was estimated at RMB49.62 per share  according to a valuation report issued by an independent valuation firm.

As
we are in the process of initial public offering of our Class A ordinary shares, we also considered the Staff’s view on “cheap
stock”, which refers to equity instruments that are issued shortly before an initial public offering date, at prices significantly
below the initial public offering price. As the proceeds received from the issuance of the 1,220,374 ordinary shares were significantly
lower than the estimated fair value of the shares, we performed the accounting analysis by taking into account the substance of such
issuance of ordinary shares to Mr. Ma, which represented a compensation for the services that he has provided to the Company. We referred
to ASC 718-10-15-3 and concluded that such issuance of ordinary shares was in the scope of Stock Compensation Topic. The substance of
the difference between the proceeds and the estimated fair value at issuance date represents the fair value of the compensation provided
to Mr. Ma for the services that he has provided in the past. Accordingly, we recognized the ordinary shares issuance at the proceeds
received, and the difference between the fair value and the proceeds from Shanghai Xinhui was recorded as compensation expenses which
was charged in the account of general and administrative expenses.

    b.
    Determination of the
    fair value of ordinary shares by applying discounted cash flow method

To
determine the fair value of ordinary shares of the Company, we followed the guidance of ASC 820-10-35-16BB.c and utilized the discounted
cash flow (“DCF”) method of the income approach which was weighted at 100%. The future cash flows of the Company were based
on estimates of the projected revenues, gross margins, operating income, excess net working capital, capital expenditures, and other
factors. We used estimated revenue growth rates for cash flow projections and the application of an appropriate discount rate.

We assumed the revenue growth rate to be approximately
26%, 25%, 24%, 23% and 10% for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028. As compared with the growth rate of approximately
31% for the year ended June 30, 2023, we believe the growth rate in the next five years are reasonable considering: 1) Expansion of the
sales team. We plan to expand our sales teams in the coming five years which are one of the major factors to support our continuing growth
in brokerage services. 2) Corporation with more B Channels. We intend to expand our collaborations with additional B channels in the
forthcoming years to enhance our development and foster growth within the digital brokerage industry. 3) Increase in end customers. With
our expansion of sales team and increased corporation with B-channel, we believe we would gain a growing number of end customers. 4)
Increase in insurance premium per customer. The insurance premium per person in the PRC is lower than in other developed countries. The
increase in insurance premium is foreseeable with better product mix to be promoted to the market. 5) Increase in brokerage commission
rate. With the increase in end customer base, and increase in insurance premium, we believe we would gain increasing bargain power among
insurance companies and increase our commission rate. The discounted rate of 15% for the DCF model was based on the weighted average
cost of capital (“WACC”), which was developed to reflect the Company’s assumptions of marketplace participant’s
cost of capital and risk assumptions, both specific and overall in the economy. Factors including business model and profitability were
taken into consideration and five comparable companies were selected for consideration. A terminal value estimated growth rate was applied
to the final year of the projected period and reflected the estimated perpetual growth with a consideration of enterprise value. We also
considered the discount of lack of marketability (“DLOM”) of 10%, derived by reference to put option based on Black-Scholes
Option Pricing Model and factors including expected IPO date and expected volatility were taken into consideration. We calculated a present
value of the projected cash flows with adjustment of debts, non-operating assets/liabilities, lack of marketability discount and excess
cash to arrive at an estimate of the fair value under the income approach.
