tell us whether you will be deemed a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq listing
rules and, if so, whether you intend to rely on any exemptions as a controlled company. If
applicable, please disclose here and in the prospectus summary that you are a controlled

completion of the offering. Please also revise your risk factor to discuss the effect, risks
and uncertainties of being designated a controlled company. In this regard, we note that
your disclosures on pages 4, 28 and 84 indicate that your Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer, Mr. Bun Kwai through Fortune Wings Ventures Limited, wholly owned by Mr.

significant influence over the company, including the election of your directors following

and discussion about the impact to your business in the event that your Hong Kong subsidiaries
were to become subject to PRC laws and regulations. Please revise to state that Chinese regulatory
authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a material change
in your operations and/or a material change in the value of the securities you are registering

or become worthless. Provide a cross-reference to your detailed discussion of risks facing
the company and the offering as a result of this structure.

cover.

a description of how cash is transferred through your organization and disclose your intentions
to distribute earnings. State whether any transfers, dividends, or distributions have been
made to date between the holding company and its subsidiaries, or to investors, and quantify
the amounts where applicable. If no transfers have been made, so state. Provide cross-references
to the consolidated financial statements. Discuss whether there are limitations on your ability
to transfer cash between you, your subsidiaries, or investors. In addition, please amend
your disclosure here and in the summary risk factors and risk factors sections to state that
to the extent cash or assets in the business is in the PRC/Hong Kong or a PRC/Hong Kong entity,
the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the

the ability of you or your subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets.
On the cover page, provide cross-references to each of these other discussions in the prospectus
summary, summary risk factors and risk factors.

There has been no cash flows and transfers of assets between the holding company and its subsidiaries other than intercompany loans
from ManyMany Creation to the holding company for the payment of certain expenses including expenses for this offering and salaries
of executive officers. None of our subsidiaries have made any dividend payment or distribution to our holding company as of
the date this response letter and they have no plans to make any distribution or dividend payment to the holding company in the
near future. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries have made any dividends or distributions to U.S. investors as of
the date of this response letter. All our subsidiaries are in Hong Kong and BVI, there is no restrictions on foreign exchange
for our subsidiaries and holding company and they are able to transfer cash or assets among these entities, across borders and to US
investors. Also, there is no restrictions and limitations on the abilities for them to distribute earnings from their businesses, including
from subsidiaries to the parent company or from the holding company to the U.S. investors as well as the abilities to settle amounts
owed. However, PRC may impose greater restrictions on our Hong Kong subsidiaries’ abilities to transfer cash out of Hong Kong and
to the holding company, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. On the cover page and
in the prospectus summary, we also provided cross-references to summary risk factors and risk factors.

7. We
note your disclosure on page 25 that “[you] are advised by Hong Kong counsel, Stevenson,
Wong & Co., that the Company is not required to obtain permission or approval from Hong
Kong authorities to register and offer the securities to foreign investors or list and trade
on a U.S. or other foreign exchange.” Please revise to provide such disclosure in this
section and balance that disclosure with a discussion of the possible ramifications if you
did become subject to PRC laws/authorities, including that you could incur material costs
to ensure compliance, be subject to fines, experience devaluation of securities or delisting,
no longer conduct offerings to foreign investors, and no longer be permitted to continue
your current business operations. To the extent applicable, disclose each permission or approval
that you or your subsidiaries are required to obtain from Chinese authorities to operate
your business and to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors. State whether
you or your subsidiaries, are covered by permissions requirements from the China Securities
Regulatory Commission (CSRC), Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) or any other governmental
agency, and state affirmatively whether you have received all requisite permissions or approvals
and whether any permissions or approvals have been denied. Please also describe the consequences
to you and your investors if you or your subsidiaries: (i) do not receive or maintain such
permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals
are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and you
are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future. Provide the basis for
your conclusions.
Response:
We have revised disclosure on page 26 to provide the possible ramifications if we did become subject to PRC laws/authorities, including
that we could incur material costs to ensure compliance, be subject to fines, experience devaluation of securities or delisting, no longer
conduct offerings to foreign investors, and no longer be permitted to continue our current business operations. Since we have no operation
or subsidiary in China, we or our subsidiaries are not required to obtain approvals from Chinese authorities to operate our business
and to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors. Also, we or our subsidiaries, are not covered by permissions requirements
from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) or any other governmental agency. We
have received all requisite permissions or approvals for our business operations and no permission or approval has been denied. We also
disclosed if we or any of our subsidiaries do not receive or maintain permissions or approvals, inadvertently conclude that such permissions
or approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we or our subsidiaries are required to
obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, it could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue
to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
8. We
note that the CSRC has recently announced regulations that outline the terms under which
China-based companies can conduct offerings and/or list overseas. Revise your disclosure
to reflect these recent events and explain how the regulations apply to you and your ability
to operate and offer securities.
Response:
We have disclosed on page 26 that new overseas listing rules by CSRC issued on February 17, 2023 provide that the determination as
to whether a Chinese domestic company is indirectly offering and listing securities on an overseas market shall be made on a substance
over form basis, and if the issuer meets the following conditions, the offering and listing shall be determined as an indirect overseas
