Ladies
and Gentlemen:
On
behalf of our client, AlphaVest Acquisition Corp (" ATMV "), and AMC Corporation (" AMC "), represented
by Graubard Miller, we are writing to submit responses to the comments of the staff (the " Staff ") of the Division
of Corporation Finance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the " Commission ") set forth in its

ATMV

We
have set forth below the comments in the Staff's letter, in bold, and the responses thereto.
Amendment
No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-4
Summary
of the Proxy Statement
Dilution,
page 34
1.
Please
revise the second to last line item in the table to clarify that it represents net tangible book value per share as adjusted. Additionally,
we note on page 17 that $8 million of financing is required in connection with the business combination; however, we note on page
57 that there is no minimum cash condition to complete the business combination. Please clarify if there is a required minimum cash
condition, and if not, tell us why you believe it is appropriate to adjust net tangible book value per share for the $8 million
financing given that there are currently no commitments for such financing. Lastly, please revise to disclose the company valuation
at or above which the potential dilution results in the amount of the non-redeeming shareholders' interest per share being
at least the initial public offering price per share of common stock as required by Item 1604(c)(1) of Regulation S-K.
Response : We
have revised pages 19, 34, and 83 of the Registration Statement to address the Staff's comment. Additionally, we
wish to advise the Staff that there is no minimum cash condition with respect to the transaction. However, the parties have been in the process of negotiating definitive
agreements for the proposed $8 million financing and expect to have such agreements finalized and executed prior to having the Registration
Statement declared effective. Accordingly, we respectfully believe that including the financing in the calculation of net tangible book
value at this time is appropriate. If the parties are unable to enter into definitive agreements for the financing and the parties otherwise
wish to proceed to having the Registration Statement declared effective, we would revise the disclosure to remove the financing from the
calculations at that time.

Information, page 143

elsewhere as appropriate, that AMC is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs for accounting purposes.

be authorized by PRC laws to regulate PRC operating entities at any time and may regulate the offerings conducted overseas and/or
foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in the operations of PRC operating entities and/or
the value of their securities" and that "any actions by the Chinese government to regulate the offerings that are conducted
overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or
continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless."

For each of the VIEs,

revise to describe all contracts and arrangements through which AMC claims to have economic rights and exercise control that results
in consolidation of the VIEs operations and financial results into its financial statements. Describe the relevant contractual agreements
between the entities and discuss how and why the contractual arrangements may be less effective than direct ownership and that the
company may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements. Disclose the uncertainties regarding the status of
the rights of the Surviving PubCo with respect to these contractual arrangements with the VIEs, its founders and owners, and the
challenges the company may face enforcing these contractual agreements due to legal uncertainties and jurisdictional limits. Additionally,
please discuss the company's plans regarding winding up the VIEs and transferring the assets currently being held by the VIEs.
Response :
We acknowledge the Staff's comment and respectfully advise the Staff that Yishijue and Xiaoyun are considered VIEs of AMC
solely for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J. We have revised the cover page and pages 42,
63 and 143 of the Registration Statement to address the Staff's comment.

We note your disclosure
throughout the registration statement that AMC is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. However, neither the investors in the Surviving
PubCo nor the Surviving PubCo itself have an equity ownership in, direct foreign investment in, or control of, through such ownership
or investment, the VIEs. Accordingly, please refrain from implying that the contractual agreements are equivalent to equity ownership
in the business of the VIEs. Any references to control or benefits that accrue to AMC because of the VIEs should be limited to a
clear description of the conditions AMC has satisfied for consolidation of the VIEs under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, your disclosure
should clarify that AMC is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs for accounting purposes. Please also disclose, if true, that the VIE
agreements have not been tested in a court of law.

Please tell us how you
considered the guidance in ASC 280-10-50-29(f) and the example in ASC 280-10-55-47(bb) to discuss how your CODM uses the reported
measure of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.
Response :
We wish to advise the Staff that in accordance with the guidance in ASC 280-10-50-29(f)
and the example in ASC 280-10-55-47(bb), AMC's chief operating decision maker uses segment revenue to assess segment performance
and allocate resources. AMC has separate e-commerce platform accounts in North America and Europe, which are classified as two primary
operating segments. Since AMC’s business model is selling products through online stores on e-commerce platforms, store revenue is used
to measure the performance of each online store. As resource consumption is proportional to sales volume, revenue is also used to guide
resource allocation.
9.
Please tell us how you considered the guidance in ASC 280-10-50-26B to disclose a qualitative description of the composition of other
segment items.
Response :
We wish to advise the Staff that AMC's other segment expenses primarily include Amazon storage fees, employee
medical insurance expenses, software subscription fees, and business license and permit expenses. These expenses are not significant and
thus not separately disclosed. Since the chief operating decision maker uses revenue to measure segment performance, not disclosing these
expenses separately does not result in misleading information.

added), holds effective control over their key activities and assumes the associated risks and benefits from the economic rewards."
Refer to Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-K.

We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comment(s).
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4
Cover Page
We note your discussion of risks related to China regulations on page iii. As examples

PRC laws to regulate PRC operating entities at any time and may regulate the
offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which 1.

value of their securities" and that "any actions by the Chinese government to regulate
the offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based
issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to
offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly
decline or be worthless." Please consider including a risk factor that similarly
discusses the risks if AMC were to be deemed to be a China-based issuer and become
subject to PRC regulation and oversight.

No. 333-283183
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
On
behalf of our client, AlphaVest Acquisition Corp (" ATMV "), and AMC Corporation (" AMC "), represented
by Graubard Miller, we are writing to submit responses to the comments of the staff (the " Staff ") of the Division
of Corporation Finance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the " Commission ") set forth in its
letter, dated March 11, 2025, relating to ATMV's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement")
filed February 11, 2025.
ATMV
is filing via EDGAR Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement, which reflects responses to the comments received by the Staff and
certain updated information.
We
have set forth below the comments in the Staff's letter, in bold, and the responses thereto.

note your revised table and associated disclosure on page 99 in response to prior comment 16. Please revise to include the table
and associated disclosure here in the "Summary of Proxy Statement/Prospectus" section as well. Refer to Item 1604(b)(4)
of Regulation S-K.

We have revised page 38 of the Registration Statement to address the Staff's comment.

We
note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 30 and reissue it in part. Please revise to describe any material relationship
that existed during the past two years or is mutually understood to be contemplated and any compensation received or to be received
as a result of the relationship between i) Newbridge and its affiliates; and ii) ATMV, the SPAC Sponsor or their respective affiliates.
Refer to Item 1607(b)(4) of Regulation S-K. In this regard, we note that the existing disclosure appears to be limited to relationships
between ATMV and Newbridge and does not address their respective affiliates. Please revise as applicable.
Response :
We have revised page 86 of the Registration Statement to address the Staff's comment.
Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences, page 120
3.
We
note your revised disclosure in response to prior comments 36 and 37 and reissue in part. Please provide a tax opinion covering the
material federal tax consequences (i) to ATMV security holders regarding the Domestication and (ii) ATMV, AMC and each of their respective
security holders regarding the Merger and revise the disclosure in this section throughout to acknowledge and reflect that the tax
consequences are the opinion of counsel. Refer to Item 4(a)(6) of Form S-4 and Items 601(b)(8) and 1605(b)(6) of Regulation S-K.
For guidance in preparing the opinion and related disclosure, please refer to Section III of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19. Additionally,
please revise to address and express a conclusion for each material federal tax consequence, i.e. whether the Domestication and the
Merger qualify as reorganizations within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. A description of the law is not sufficient. Additionally,
we note how the companies intend to report the de-SPAC transaction does not align with the disclosure requirements set forth in Item
4(a)(6) of Form S-4 or Item 1605(b)(6) of Regulation S-K. Lastly, if there is a lack of authority directly addressing the tax
consequences of the transaction, conflicting authority or significant doubt about the tax consequences of the transaction, counsel
may issue a "should" or "more likely than not" opinion to make clear that the opinion is subject to a degree
of uncertainty. In such cases, counsel should explain clearly why it cannot give a "will" opinion. Refer to Sections
III.C.1, III.C.2 and III.C.4 of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.
Response : We
have revised pages 121, 123, 124, 125, and 126 of the Registration Statement and filed Exhibits 8.1 and 8.2 to address the
Staff's comment.

the information set forth in the Division of Corporation Finance's Sample Letter to China-Based Companies issued by the Staff in
December 2021, which is available on our website.
Response : We have revised
the corporate structure chart as requested. With respect to the VIEs, as discussed below in response to comment 8, AMC is not a China-based
issuer. Accordingly, the information on VIEs pursuant to the Division of Corporation Finance's Sample Letter to China-Based Companies
issued by the Staff in December 2021 is not applicable. Nevertheless, we have revised the cover page and risk factors to include additional
information on the risks attributable to operations involving the VIEs utilized by AMC.

Party Balances and Transactions, page F-48
6.
We
note your response to prior comment 60. You state that Ants has planned to settle the outstanding other receivable owed to AMC by
the end of 2029. Please further clarify the terms of the repayment for the "other receivable – related party" and
when you expect to receive this balance. We note the balance sheet classifies "other receivable – related party, net"
as current assets for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Please clarify whether the balances due from Ants of $582,325 and$1,553,396
for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are included in current assets and the rationale for this classification.
Response :
The Staff's comment is duly noted. The "other receivable – related party" balances presented on the consolidated
balance sheets are net of the "allowance for credit losses" for Ants. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net receivable
balances due from Ants, after deducting an allowance for credit losses of $1,262,146 and $0, were $506,327 and $2,230,084, respectively.
The receivable balances from Ants are constantly moving. During the fourth quarter of 2023, an allowance for credit losses of $1,262,146
was recognized using the loss rate method. The remaining receivable balances of $506,327 and $2,230,084 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively, are expected to be collected within one year from the respective year-end dates and are therefore classified as current
assets. Additionally, the repayment terms for "other receivable – related party" due from Ants have been
updated in the financial statements. The payment was due on demand and was expected to be received within the short term. In April
2025, Ants fully settled the outstanding balance of "other receivable – related party" totaling $1,790,009 as
of December 31, 2024. This subsequent collection has been disclosed in "Note 17 – Subsequent Events" of the audited
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Exhibit
Index, page II-2

We
note your response to prior comment 62 and reissue it in part. Please further revise to file all related-party agreements (i.e. two
VIEs, authorization agreements, supply arrangements, consulting arrangements, marketing arrangements, related-party notes and loans,
etc.). Refer to Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-K.
Response :
We acknowledge the Staff's comment and wish to advise the Staff that we have filed as exhibits all AMC related-party arrangements
that have been documented in formal agreements and that are still effective. However, several arrangements have not been documented in
a formal agreement or have since been terminated. For instance, simple purchase orders for security cameras among related parties do
not have formal agreements associated with them. Similarly, loan agreements that have expired or have been repaid are therefore no longer
applicable as a material contract and have not been filed.
General
8.
We
note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 64 and reissue it. Please revise your proxy statement/prospectus to provide
more specific and prominent disclosures about the legal and operational risks associated with China-based companies, with respect
to AMC Corporation. For additional guidance, please see the Division of Corporation Finance's Sample Letter to China-Based
Companies issued by the Staff in December 2021, which is available on our website. Alternatively, please provide a detailed analysis
of why AMC Corporation should not be considered a China-based company.
Response :
We acknowledge the Staff's comment and, after reviewing the Division of Corporation Finance's Sample Letter to China-Based
Companies (the "Sample Letter"), respectfully advise the Staff that AMC does not consider itself to be a China-based issuer
as further explained below. The Sample Letter defines "China-based issuers" as "companies that are based in or have
the majority of their operations in the People's Republic of China", thus limiting the scope of the Sample Letter's
application to companies that (i) are based in China, or (ii) have a majority of their operations in China.
(i)
AMC
is not based in China .
●
AMC
was incorporated and is existing under the laws of the State of Washington with its executive office resides in Washington, and its
executive team sits in Washington and New York. Washington has been the business' headquarters since AMC's inception
in 2021.
●
AMC's
executive team resides in Washington and New York. All key decision-making processes, management and governance of AMC have been
and are expected to remain outside of China.
(ii)
AMC
does not have the majority of its operations in China .
●
AMC's
current principal business operations are located in the United States, and AMC does not derive its revenue from China.
●
The majority
of AMC's employees are located in the United States.
●
As
of the date of this letter, to a lesser extent, AMC conducts certain operations in China, including sourcing materials and providing
services through its relationships with China-based suppliers and affiliates. However, AMC does not own substantial assets or conduct
substantial operations in China.
We
have revised the disclosure on the cover page to address the foregoing as requested.

Risks Related to SPAC
If SPAC has not consummated an initial business combination by December 22, 2024 . . .,
page 45
We note your disclosure that "[i]f SPAC is unable to complete an initial business
combination by December 22, 2025 and seeks to extend beyond such 36-month
period, such extension would violate Nasdaq IM-5101-2, and there is a risk that
trading in SPAC’s securities may be suspended, and SPAC may be subject to delisting
by Nasdaq." Additionally, we note that Nasdaq Rule 5815 was amended effective
October 7, 2024 to provide for the immediate suspension and delisting upon issuance
of a delisting determination letter for failure to meet the requirement in Nasdaq Rule
IM 5101-2(b) to complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the 19.
December 11, 2024
Page 5
date of effectiveness of a company's IPO registration statement. Please revise to more
explicitly state that your securities will face immediate suspension and delisting action
once the company receives a delisting determination letter from Nasdaq after the 36-
month window ends on December 22, 2025. Please disclose the risks of non-
compliance with this rule, including that under the new framework, Nasdaq may only
reverse the determination if it finds it made a factual error applying the applicable
rule. In addition, please also disclose the consequences of any such suspension or
delisting, including that the company's stock may be determined to be a penny stock
and the consequences of that designation, that the company may no longer be
attractive as a merger partner if the company is no longer listed on an exchange, any
potential impact on the company's ability to complete an initial business combination,
any impact on the market for the company's securities including demand and overall
liquidity for the company's securities, and any impact on securities holders due to the
company's securities no longer being considered “covered securities.”
The SEC adopted final rules to regulate special purpose acquisition companies that may
increase SPAC's costs . . ., page 51
20.We note your disclosure that "[i]t is possible that a claim could be made that SPAC
has been operating an unregistered investment company" and that "[t]his risk may be
increased if SPAC continues to hold the funds in the Trust Account in short-term U.S.
government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in
such securities, rather than instructing the Trustee to liquidate the securities in the
Trust Account and hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash." We also note your
disclosure on page F-10 that "[t]he Company’s portfolio of investments held in the
trust account is comprised of investments only in U.S. government securities" and that
ATMV's "investments held in the trust account are classified as trading securities."
Please revise your risk factor disclosure to clearly state that if you are found to be
operating as an unregistered investment company, you may be required to change
your operations, wind down your operations, or register as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act. Also include disclosure with respect to the
consequences to investors if you are required to wind down your operations as a result
of this status, such as the losses of the investment opportunity in a target company,
any price appreciation in the combined company, and any warrants, which would
expire worthless.
Risks Related to AMC, page 56
21.To the extent applicable, please update here and your Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section to disclose how
recent inflationary pressures have materially impacted AMC's business and
operations. For example, identify the types of inflationary pressures AMC is facing
and how its business has been affected.
To the extent AMC's business has been materially affected by risks associated with
supply chain disruptions, please state as much, and explain whether any mitigation
efforts introduce new material risks, including those related to product quality,
reliability, or regulatory approval of products. In this regard, we note your

representation on page 179 that "[d]ue to the short supply of security cameras during
2023, AMC purchased Ants’ remaining inventories."
We depend on our suppliers, and the loss of any key supplier could materially and adversely
affect our business, page 60
23.We note that AMC has "two related parties that provide hardware from which
[you] procure hardware on a purchase order basis." To the extent AMC's business is
materially dependent on these suppliers, please revise here to disclose the names of
the related-party suppliers and identify the material terms of any agreements with such
suppliers. Additionally, please file any such agreements as exhibits to the registration
statement or tell us why you believe you are not required to do so. Refer to Item
601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.
Background to the Business Combination, page 76
24.We note that following the SPAC IPO, you reviewed financial and business
information and conducted preliminary due diligence on AMC. However, the
disclosure on page 78 seems to suggest that you were first made aware of AMC
through Revere Securities only after terminating the business combination
with Wanshun Technology Industrial Group Limited. Please revise or advise.
25.We note that "ATMV reviewed approximately 40 targets in its search and entered into
non-disclosure agreements with six of such potential targets" and that "ATMV did not
engage with the fifth and sixth targets because such targets failed to deliver any of the
information ATMV requested in order to perform a proper analysis of such targets."
We also note that AMC was one of the four remaining potential candidates. However,
the disclosure here only addresses Candidate A. Please revise to describe the level of
discussions and negotiations you had with the other three potential candidates,
including AMC, and discuss the factors considered in dismissing these potential
targets.
26.Please provide a more detailed description of the negotiations regarding the letter of
intent that was executed on March 27, 2024 by ATMV and AMC, including the
material terms of the initial and subsequent drafts, the material terms included in the
final executed version and how the material terms evolved over the course of the
negotiations. Please include enough information so that investors can fully understand
how the final terms were negotiate

Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 Submitted July 28, 2022
General
1.With a view toward disclosure, please tell us whether your sponsor is, is controlled by, or
has substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. If so, also include risk factor disclosure that
addresses how this fact could impact your ability to complete your initial business
combination. For instance, discuss the risk to investors that you may not be able to
complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company should the
transaction be subject to review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited. Disclose that
as a result, the pool of potential targets with which you could complete an initial business
combination may be limited. Further, disclose that the time necessary for government

review of the transaction or a decision to prohibit the transaction could prevent you from
completing an initial business combination and require you to liquidate. Disclose the
consequences of liquidation to investors, such as the losses of the investment opportunity
in a target company, any price appreciation in the combined company, and the warrants,
which would expire worthless.
2.We note the enforcement of civil liability section on page 144 refers to the Cayman
Islands. To the extent that one or more of your officers and/or directors are located in
China or Hong Kong, please create a separate Enforceability of Civil Liabilities section, in
the forepart of the prospectus, for the discussion of the enforcement risks related to civil
liabilities due to your officers and directors being located in China or Hong Kong. Please
identify each officer and/or director located in China or Hong Kong and disclose that it
will be more difficult to enforce liabilities and enforce judgments on those
individuals. For example, revise to discuss more specifically the limitations on investors
being able to effect service of process and enforce civil liabilities in China, lack of
reciprocity and treaties, and cost and time constraints. Also, please disclose these risks in a
separate risk factor, which should contain disclosures consistent with the separate section.
3.Please include page numbers for cross-references on the cover page and in the summary to
the more expansive disclosure.
Cover Page
4.We note that a majority of your executive officers and/or directors are located in or have
significant ties to China/Hong Kong, and your disclosure that you are seeking to acquire a
company that may be based in China, Hong Kong or Macau (PRC) in an initial business
combination. Please disclose this prominently on the prospectus cover page. We also
note the disclosure regarding variable interest entity (VIE) contracts. If true, disclose that
these contracts have not been tested in court. Your disclosure should acknowledge that
Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a
material change in your or the target company’s post-combination operations and/or a
material change in the value of your common stock or could significantly limit or
completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and
cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Your
disclosure should address how recent statements and regulatory actions by China’s
government, such as those related to the use of variable interest entities and data security
or anti-monopoly concerns, has or may impact the company’s ability to conduct its
business, accept foreign investments, or list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange.
5.Given the risks of doing business in the PRC, please revise the cover page to disclose that
the majority of your officers and directors having significant ties with China may make
you a less attractive partner to a non-China-based target company than a non-China based
SPAC. Please disclose that this may therefore limit the pool of acquisition candidates and
make it harder for you to complete an initial business combination with a non-China-

based target company. Specifically discuss the impact this could have upon your search
for an initial business combination. Please also state this in the bulleted risks on pages 29-
31 and under an appropriate caption in your Risk Factors.
6.Provide a description of how cash is transferred through your organization and how cash
will be transferred through the post-combination organization if you acquire a company
based in China. State whether any transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made to
date between the company, its subsidiaries, or to investors, and quantify the amounts
where applicable.
Summary, page 1
7.We note your disclosure on page 2 regarding VIEs. Please disclose, if true, that the VIE
agreements have not been tested in a court of law.
8.We note your disclosure on page 11 that you “are currently not required to obtain
permission from any of the PRC authorities to operate and issue [your] securities to non-
PRC investors.” Please disclose how the company reached this determination.
9.In your summary of risk factors, disclose the risks that your corporate structure and being
based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China poses to investors.
In particular, describe the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks with
cross-references to the more detailed discussion of these risks in the prospectus. For
example, specifically discuss risks arising from the legal system in China, including risks
and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in
China can change quickly with little advance notice; and the risk that the Chinese
government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, or may exert more
control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based
issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the
securities you are registering for sale. Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the
Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted
overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or
completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and
cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

10.We note that your initial shareholders and their affiliates may purchase shares from public
holders for the purpose of voting those shares in favor of a proposed business
combination, thereby increasing the likelihood of the completion of the combination.
Please explain how such purchases would comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-5
under the Exchange Act. Refer to Tender Offer Rules and Schedules Compliance and
Disclosure Interpretation 166.01 for guidance.

combination with any entity that is based or located in or that conducts its principal
business operations in China (including Hong Kong and Macau) or any entity that has as
its auditor one that is listed in the PCAOB report.” We also note your statement on the

network in the People’s Republic of China, including, solely for purposes of this
prospectus, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau, which we refer to throughout this prospectus
collectively as the “PRC” or “China”, we may pursue a business combination with a
company doing business in China, which may have legal and operational risks associated
with such a decision.” Please revise to reconcile your disclosures throughout the
prospectus as appropriate.
