advice of our PRC legal counsel, Jingsh & H Y Leung and the PRC laws and regulations

that may be adopted by PRC authorities, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus,
Qianzhi’s PRC subsidiaries have obtained all of the licenses and approvals necessary to

2.We note your revised disclosure in response to previous comment 2. Please expand this
section of the shareholder letter to add disclosure of all compensation received or to be
received by the SPAC sponsor, its affiliates, and promoters in connection with the de-
SPAC transaction or any related financing transaction. In this regard, we note your
disclosure on page 159 regarding service fees pursuant to an administrative services
agreement, outstanding amounts under an unsecured promissory note and certain
indemnification obligations that are not discussed in the shareholder letter.
Unaudited Prospective Financial Information of Qianzhi, page 124
3.We note your statement on page 124: "Each of these products have been tested by third-
party product testing companies and Qianzhi has made the appropriate regulatory filings
with the relevant government authorities. In addition, Qianzhi is developing marketing
and sales channels for its existing and new products in order to maximize the revenues
that such products may generate and as described below in greater detail, has entered into
cooperation agreements with five customers in order to begin exploiting the commercial
potential of these products. Accordingly, Qianzhi’s financial forecasts assume additional
revenues from these new products." Please revise to describe the filings made with
government authorities and whether you are waiting on any determination from such
authorities before you may sell these products. Additionally, please quantify the
"additional revenue" you are assuming in these financial forecasts.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Effects of the Business Combination, page 149
4.We note that you have included a short-form tax opinion as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration
Statement. As stated in Section III.B.2 of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 (CF), if a registrant
elects to use a short-form opinion, the Exhibit 8 short-form opinion and the tax disclosure
in the prospectus both must state clearly that the disclosure in the tax consequences
section of the prospectus is the opinion of the named counsel or accountant. Please revise
your prospectus disclosure to state that the the disclosure in the tax consequences section
of the prospectus is the opinion of counsel.
We note your revised disclosure in response to previous comment 19. This disclosure
describes the applicable tax consequences if the Business Combination does and does not
qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and does or
does not otherwise qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 351 of the Code, and also
says: "[h]olders of Bowen Ordinary Shares (whether or not U.S. Holders, and, in each
case, as described below, whether or not Bowen or New Bowen are treated as a PFIC for
U.S. federal income tax purposes or the Business Combination qualifies as a 5.

Reorganization) will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the
Business Combination." Please revise your disclosure to express a conclusion with respect
to Qianzhi, holders of Qianzhi shares and Bowen. As stated in Section III.C.1 of Staff
Legal Bulletin No. 19 (CF), if you are unable to opine on the material tax consequence,
your disclosure should state this fact clearly and provide the reason for your inability (for
example, the facts are currently unknown or the law is unclear). In this regard, we note
that you removed the following statements from your disclosure:
•However, due to the absence of direct guidance, this result is not entirely clear, and
no assurance can be given that the Business Combination will so qualify; and
•Due to the legal and factual uncertainties described above, it is unclear whether the
Business Combination will qualify as a reorganization.
SPAC Sponsors and their Affiliates, page 158

revise this section to disclose the ownership of TenX and whether the person or persons
with beneficial interests in TenX are affiliated with Bowen, Bowen Holding, Createcharm
or their respective affiliates other than with respect to their involvement with Bowen. In
this regard, we note your disclosure on page 228 that TenX is wholly owned by Jiayu Li.
However, in the prospectus for Bowen's initial public offering filed on June 13, 2023, you
disclosed that TenX is an affiliate of Na Gai.
7.We note your statement that "TenX has experience organizing or managing special
purpose acquisition companies, including acting as an affiliate of the sponsor of
AlphaTime Acquisition Corp, AlphaVest Acquisition Corp and Bayview Acquisition
Corp." Please clarify if this is an exhaustive list of TenX's experience in organizing
special purpose acquisition companies and the extent to which TenX is involved in other
special purpose acquisition companies or revise to provide complete disclosure of these
matters. Please refer to Item 1603(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.
