Please
revise the cover page and the Plan of Distribution to indicate the price at which Changbin Xia, the Chairman of the company, will
offer the 30 million ordinary shares for resale. We note your disclosure that Mr. Xia will sell the ordinary shares on behalf of
the company as well as himself. Clarify whether Mr. Xia will simultaneously offer and sell the shares by the company and the shares
he holds in his personal capacity. If so, disclose any conflicts of interest.
RESPONSE:
In response to the Staff’s comment, we respectfully revised on the cover page and the Plan of Distribution to disclose that
the Chairman may sell his shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices, at prevailing market prices at the time
of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. In addition, Mr. Xia will enter into a certain
lock-up agreement with the Company on the effective date of the registration statement, pursuant to which, he will not sell his shares
for a period of 180 days following the effective date. Therefore, Mr. Xia will not simultaneously offer and sell the shares by the Company
and the shares he holds in his personal capacity. He will begin selling his shares after the closing of the Company’s primary offering.
As a result, we believe there will not be a conflict of interest. We revised on the Cover Page and the Plan of Distribution accordingly
to disclose this.

We note
that this is a best-efforts offering of up to 60,000,000 ordinary shares, but you are also registering the issuance of 50% of the
total offering shares to Mr. Xia, the chairman of the company. It appears that an offer was made and commitment obtained from Mr.
Xia and other unaffiliated purchasers under a securities purchase agreement prior to the filing of this registration statement. Please
explain why you believe the registration of the primary issuance of these shares by the company to Mr. Xia is appropriate. For guidance,
refer to Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 134.03.
RESPONSE:
In response to the Staff’s comment, we respectfully confirmed with the Staff that the Company has entered into a securities
purchase agreement with Mr. Xia on October 22, 2024 for the sale of 30,000,000 ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price
of $24,000,000. The transaction was closed on October 22, 2024. We have revised the registration statement accordingly
to be for the offering of up to 30,000,000 ordinary shares by us on a best-efforts basis, and for the offer and resale of 30,000,000
ordinary shares by Mr. Xia.
2.
We note the disclosures
throughout your registration statement, including on the cover page, that your offering of ordinary shares will be at an “assumed”
public offering price. Please revise to clarify that the offering price will be fixed for the duration of this offering. Since you
are not Form S-3 eligible, it does not appear that you are eligible to conduct an at-the-market offering under Rule 415 under the
Securities Act.

In response to the Staff’s comment, we revised throughout the prospectus to clarify that the offering price will be fixed for
the duration of the primary offering of 30,000,000 ordinary shares.

comment 8 in the comment letter dated August 11, 2023, to “ ... please revise to describe
the consequences to you and your investors if you, your subsidiaries, or the VIEs: (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.”
(Emphasis added).
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, we proposed to revise the disclosure referencing our PRC counsel’s opinions as follows
(revised language in italic):
“Based
on the opinion of our PRC counsel, Beijing Dacheng Law Offices, LLP (Fuzhou) (“Dacheng”), …”
In
addition, we proposed to revise the disclosure relating to the consequences to us as follows (revised language in italic):
We
are subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government in this regard including the risk that we do not
receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, or we inadvertently conclude that the permission or approvals discussed here are
not required, that applicable laws, regulations or interpretations change such that we or the VIE, or any of its subsidiaries is required
to obtain approvals in the future, or that the PRC government could disallow our holding company structure, which would likely result
in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our existing holding company structure, carry on our current
business, accept foreign investments, and continue to offer securities to our investors. These adverse actions could cause the value
of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. We may also be subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by the
PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, if we fail to comply with such rules and regulations, which would likely adversely affect
the ability of our securities to be listed on the U.S. exchange, which would likely cause the value of our securities to significantly
decline or become worthless.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company’s stock price showed a significant downward trend when the stock purchase
agreement of Yuanxing acquisition was signed in December 2022. The Company decided to issue restricted shares as consideration for

decrease in the six months following the closing of the acquisition. Therefore, the parties agreed on a discount to the trading price
of Meiwu’s shares through negotiation and the board of directors of Meiwu has approved the consideration.

Mr.
Shapiro and Mr. Shenk:
Meiwu
Technology Company Limited (the “Company”, “WNW,” “we”, “us”
or “our”) hereby transmits its response to the letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), dated August 11, 2023 regarding our Form 20-F for fiscal
year ended December 31, 2022. For ease of reference, we have repeated the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them
accordingly.
Form
20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022
Introduction,
page 1
1.
It
appears that your definition of “we,” “us,” “our company,” “our,” “the Company,”
and “Meiwu” includes your VIEs, Wunong Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd and Meiwu Zhishi Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.
Refrain from using terms such as “we” or “our” when describing activities or functions of a VIE. For example,
disclose, if true, that your subsidiaries and/or the VIE conduct operations in China, that the VIE is consolidated for accounting
purposes but is not an entity in which you own equity, and that the holding company does not conduct operations. Disclose clearly
the entity (including the domicile) in which investors are purchasing an interest. We also note that you have excluded Hong Kong
and Macau from your definition of “China.” Please clarify that the “legal and operational” risks associated
with operating in China also apply to operations in Hong Kong/Macau.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comments, we have excluded the VIEs from the definition of “we”, “us”, “our”,
“the Company”, and “Meiwu”. We have also revised our definition of “PRC” or “China” on
page 1. Since the Company does not have any operations in Hong Kong or Macau, we did not
include statements clarifying that the legal and operational risks associated with operating in China also apply to operations in Hong
Kong and Macau.
Item
3. Key Information, page 3
2.
We
note your disclosure at the top of page three. Please revise to state that you are not a Chinese operating company but a British
Virgin Islands holding company with operations conducted by your subsidiaries and through contractual arrangements with a variable
interest entity based in China and that this structure involves unique risks to investors. Additionally, if true, disclose here that
these contracts have not been tested in court. Explain whether the VIE structure is used to provide investors with exposure to foreign
investment in China-based companies where Chinese law prohibits direct foreign investment in the operating companies, and disclose
that investors may never hold equity interests in the Chinese operating company. Your disclosure should acknowledge 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 for sale, including that it could cause the value of such securities
to significantly decline 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.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, we have revised the statement at the onset of Item 3. Key Information on page 3.
3.
We
note your disclosure on pages five and six. Please revise to disclose the location of your auditor’s headquarters and whether
and how the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and related regulations

In response to the Staff’s comment, we have revised the disclosures on pages 7 and 97 accordingly.

entitled to substantially all of their economic benefits ... “ and your statement on page 129 that “... we are entitled

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, we have revised the disclosure on pages 48 and 133.

not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and you are required to obtain such permissions or
approvals in the future. Additionally, please revise to note whether you relied on the opinion of your PRC counsel, Dentons, for

of operations as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial statements are required. The

amounts, such as separate line items for intercompany receivables and investment in subsidiary. The schedule should also disaggregate
the parent company, the VIE and its consolidated subsidiaries, the WFOE that are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and an aggregation
of other entities that are consolidated. The objective of this disclosure is to allow an investor to evaluate the nature of assets
held by, and the operations of, entities apart from the VIE, as well as the nature and amounts associated with intercompany transactions.

Dear Zihao Liu:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. In some of our
comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
Please respond to these comments within ten business days by providing the requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our
comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Form 20-F for the Year Ended December 31, 2022
Introduction, page 1
1.It appears that your definition of "we," "us," "our company," "our," "the Company," and
"Meiwu" includes your VIEs, Wunong Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd and Meiwu
Zhishi Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. Refrain from using terms such as “we” or “our”
when describing activities or functions of a VIE. For example, disclose, if true, that your
subsidiaries and/or the VIE conduct operations in China, that the VIE is consolidated for
accounting purposes but is not an entity in which you own equity, and that the holding
company does not conduct operations. Disclose clearly the entity (including the domicile)
in which investors are purchasing an interest. We also note that you have excluded Hong
Kong and Macau from your definition of "China." Please clarify that the “legal and
operational” risks associated with operating in China also apply to operations in Hong

Kong/Macau.
Item 3. Key Information, page 3
2.We note your disclosure at the top of page three. Please revise to state that you are not a
Chinese operating company but a British Virgin Islands holding company with operations
conducted by your subsidiaries and through contractual arrangements with a variable
interest entity based in China and that this structure involves unique risks to investors.
Additionally, if true, disclose here that these contracts have not been tested in court.
Explain whether the VIE structure is used to provide investors with exposure to foreign
investment in China-based companies where Chinese law prohibits direct foreign
investment in the operating companies, and disclose that investors may never hold equity
interests in the Chinese operating company. Your disclosure should acknowledge 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 for sale, including that it could cause the value of such securities to
significantly decline 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.
3.We note your disclosure on pages five and six. Please revise to disclose the location of
your auditor's headquarters and whether and how the Holding Foreign Companies
Accountable Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and related
regulations will affect your company. Please include cross-reference to the associated risk
factors.
4.We note your disclosure on page seven. Please disclose your intentions to distribute
earnings or settle amounts owed under the VIE agreements. State whether any transfers,
dividends, or distributions have been made to date between the holding company, its
subsidiaries, and consolidated VIEs, or to investors, and quantify the amounts where
applicable. Provide cross-references to the condensed consolidating schedule and the
consolidated financial statements. Quantify any dividends or distributions that a subsidiary
or consolidated VIE have made to the holding company and which entity made such
transfer, and their tax consequences. Similarly quantify dividends or distributions made to
U.S. investors, the source, and their tax consequences. Also, please amend your disclosure
here, in the summary risk factors, and in the risk factors section to state that, to the extent
cash/assets in the business is in the PRC/Hong Kong or a PRC/Hong Kong entity, the
funds/assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the
PRC/Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations
on the ability of you, your subsidiaries, or the consolidated VIEs by the PRC government
to transfer cash/assets. Additionally, to the extent you have cash management policies that
dictate how funds are transferred between you, your subsidiaries, the consolidated VIEs or
investors, summarize the policies here and disclose the source of such policies;
alternatively, state that you have no such cash management policies that dictate how funds
are transferred.

Dear
Mses. Peyser and Meadows and Messrs. Morris and Allegretto,
On
behalf of our client, Wunong Net Technology Co. Ltd , a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s
letter dated September 30, 2020. Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is submitting its Amendment No.
1 to registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Revised Draft Registration Statement”) and the related exhibits via
EDGAR to the Commission.
The
Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references
in the Revised Draft Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used
but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Revised Draft Registration Statement.
Registration
Statement on Form F-1 Filed September 17, 2020

1.
We note your response to prior comment 2. Please describe the special circumstances that may warrant an onsite inspection during
the pandemic and describe how the inspection would be conducted, including how the exams are performed, how compliance is assessed,
and the consequences if a supplier fails to satisfy your private inspection. In addition, please disclose how an inspection conducted
during the pandemic differs in its processes, assessments, and consequences, from one conducted prior to the pandemic.
Response:
After
discussion, the Company has decided that no onsite inspections will occur during a pandemic. However, they are planning to commence
onsite inspections in January 2021 (barring unforeseen circumstances) only for custom pre-sales of food products/commodities such
as crops by certain loyal customers. The Company has added disclosures on such onsite inspections responsive to the points raised
by the Staff.

We note your response to prior comment 5. Please further revise to disclose royalty amounts payable by the franchisees, if any,
as well as the term and termination provisions of the franchise agreements.

Response:
The
Company has recently revised its franchising model and will only charge a one-off franchising fee of RMB10,000 (approximately
$1,493) and no annual management fee regardless of the size of the restaurant. No other fees are payable.
Responsive
to the Staff’s comments, the Company has included additional disclosures on the term and termination of the franchise agreements.
Social
Media, page 82
3.
We note your response to prior comment 6. In this section you refer to various performance metrics, including daily, weekly
and monthly sales, new registered users, new user orders and amounts, number of active users and their orders, single product
sales amounts and sales performance rankings. Please revise your MD&A to include a discussion of how these measures are
calculated and used, along with a discussion of comparative period amounts. Alternatively, explain why you do not believe
this disclosure is necessary. Refer to Section III.B.1 of SEC Release No. 33-8350 and SEC Release 33-10751.
Response:
These
performance matrix data are automatically generated by the Company’s operating system and are used to provide a snapshot
of the activities of its members, store managers and local service centers. Such data is localized to each entity being assessed
and is not analyzed, aggregated or summarized for the Company as a whole. Furthermore, this data is not generated according to
U.S GAAP standards and does not conform to strict accounting standards. Accordingly, the Company does not utilize this data to
assess its performance as a whole and only uses it as a quick, rough reference point for discrete groups under its operations.
As
previously stated, the Company only uses the three performance metrics – net revenue, gross profit and selling, marketing,
general and administrative expenses to assess its performance and each is described in detail under the heading “How to
Assess the Company’s Performance”.
Index

Please ensure that your financial statements are updated with interim information in accordance with Item 8.A(5) of Form

Response:
The
Company has updated its financial statements to include unaudited interim financial statements for the 6 months ended June 30,
2020 and 2019.

Please revise Exhibit 5.1 to eliminate inappropriate, readily ascertainable, and/or verifiable assumptions (such as items 1
and 5 of Schedule 2). In addition, it is unclear that the qualifications enumerated in Schedule 3 are necessary or
appropriate; please revise or advise. Also, counsel may examine such documents as it deems appropriate to render its opinion
but may not limit its opinion to certain documents; please revise the third paragraph on page 1 and the language in Schedule
1 to clarify that counsel has examined all other documents as it has deemed necessary to render its opinion. Finally, we note
your statement on page 2 that you "do not believe we are 'experts'"; please remove this statement, as it is
inappropriate for counsel to deny that it is an expert within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act. Refer
to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.
Response:
Responsive
to the Staff’s comments, BVI counsel has clarified in the third paragraph on page 1 that it has examined Corporate Documents
(as defined in Schedule 1), which they regard as necessary in order to issue this opinion. In other words, they are not
aware of any other documents necessary for the opinion. BVI counsel has also removed its statement on page 2 that they "do
not believe [they] are 'experts' and items 1 and 5 of Schedule 2.
Counsel
would however like to advise the Staff that its opinion is based off documents that it has reviewed. If, for instance, directors’
resolutions are rescinded and are not reflected in the Company’s minute books or informed to counsel or if a director does
not declare or conceals a conflict of interest, counsel cannot be expected to be aware of these occurrences.
Finally,
counsel has advised that the qualifications on Schedule 3 are absolutely reasonable as they are of general import and apply by
law to all opinions regardless of whether they are stated or not. Qualification 1 provides instances when an inspection of
public records would not reveal certain facts. Qualification 2 states that BVI counsel is not expressing an opinion on foreign
law. Qualifications 2, 5 and 6 state BVI law as it relates to verbal amendment/waiver of written contracts, conflicts of laws
and sanctions. Finally, Qualification 4 states the condition on which a company can continue in good standing under BVI law.
BVI
counsel has included Schedule 3 for completeness’s sake and in the spirit of full disclosure to its recipients. It is, by
no means, meant to further limit the scope of counsel’s opinion beyond what is customary as such qualifications would apply
by law regardless.
7.
Please file a tax opinion and consent from Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP. In this regard, we note that the discussion of U.S.
tax law in the "Taxation" section of your prospectus is the opinion of Sichenzia. Refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No.

The
tax opinion and consent from Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP has been filed as Exhibit 8.3.

Dear
Mses. Peyser and Meadows and Messrs. Morris and Allegretto,
On
behalf of our client, Wunong Net Technology Co. Ltd , a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s
letter dated September 11, 2020. Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is submitting its revised Amendment
No. 5 to registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Revised Draft Registration Statement”) and the related exhibits
via EDGAR to the Commission.
The
Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references
in the Revised Draft Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used
but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Revised Draft Registration Statement.
Amendment
No. 4 to Draft Registration Statement Submitted on August 13, 2020
Coronavirus
(COVID-19) Update, page 51
1.
Please address more specifically how COVID-19 has impacted your services, explaining the extent to which you have reopened your
business and demand has returned for your business following the lockdown earlier this year. Also, expand your disclosure to explain
any current restrictions on businesses in your industry or locale. Further, to the extent possible and given the amount of time
that has passed since the initial outbreak of COVID-19, please update your disclosure to discuss any known trends and uncertainties
that have had or likely will have a material impact on your business and results of operations. Refer to CF Disclosure Guidance:
Topic No. 9 for further guidance, available at https://www.sec.gov/corpfin/coronavirus-covid-19.
Response:
The
peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in China was from February through March 2020. During that time, the Company’s office was
closed and its employees worked remotely at home using conferencing software such as Tencent conference software, WeChat software
and Dingding software. Fortunately, the Company was able to transition to remote working arrangements without much disruption.
This
period coincided with the traditional Chinese New Year, which is typically a peak shopping season. Compounded with the pandemic
and threat of a national lockdown, the first quarter saw increased purchases and orders as customers hoarded food products. The
Company and its suppliers tried their best to fulfill these orders ahead of schedule ahead of the lockdown. Accordingly, the impact
on the pandemic on the Company’s first quarter online operations was minimal.
1185
Avenue of the Americas | 37th Floor | New York, NY | 10036
T (212) 930 9700 | F (212) 930 9725 | WWW.SRF.LAW
During
this time, the Company established an epidemic prevention and control team, issued epidemic prevention and safety guidelines,
purchased masks, disinfectant and sanitizers for its employees and office.
The
pandemic came under control in China during the second quarter of 202.0 Lockdown measures were lifted and the Company’s
employees were allowed to return to work, albeit with social distancing and safety measures. The Company was able to receive orders
and fulfill them timely and without any disruption. Unfortunately, while China was gradually returning to business, the pandemic
raged elsewhere in the world and impacted China’s economy severely. Manufacturing activity came to a standstill as overseas
orders were canceled. Chinese residents saw incomes and consequently, disposable income dwindle. This, coupled with the
previous hoarding of food products, resulted in fewer orders for the Company’s products during the second quarter as customers
tightened their belts and held back spending on perceived “luxury items” (such as premium-priced organic produce)
and investing.
Fortunately,
with the help of member promotion activities and sales promotions, the Company was able to still show a year-over-year 35% increase
in revenue for the half of the year. This, however, fell short of the Company’s original sales forecast for the year.
One
of the industries most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic is the restaurant business. The Company’s franchisees were hesitant
to invest any capital in opening restaurants until lockdown measures were lifted for the restaurant industry. This caused the
Company’s restaurant expansion plans to be temporarily suspended. The lockdown measures for restaurants were finally lifted
in the third quarter. Customers are now able to dine indoors or outdoors without occupancy limits. The Company has been able to
resume its restaurant expansion plans and the Company forecasts to resume opening 20-30 franchise restaurants monthly from
September through December 2020.
While
China has the pandemic largely under control now, there are still isolated reports of imported cases and patients getting re-infected.
Given the unpredictable but extremely infectious nature of the COVID-19 virus and until an effective vaccine is introduced, it
is entirely within the realm of contemplation that a national or regional lockdown may occur again may should there be a resurgence.
In such a scenario, any or all of the abovementioned scenarios may occur again and the repercussions on the Company’s businesses
and operations cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Quality
Control Team, page 68
2.
We note your response to prior comment 3. Please revise to describe the process by which the quality control team that conducts
onsite inspections assesses whether products meet national or industry quality standards. If your team is not making onsite assessments
and is not independently determining whether these standards have been met, and is instead relying on suppliers to provide proof
of government licensure, please revise to clarify. However, if onsite exams are conducted by your team, explain how the exams
are performed, how compliance is assessed, and the consequence if a supplier fails to satisfy your private inspection.
Response:
Since
the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, our quality control team will now not conduct on-site inspections unless special circumstances
warrant it. We rely on our suppliers to provide proof of government licensure including the relevant quality inspection reports,
to prove that they meet national or industry quality standards.
Restaurants,
page 68
3.
We note your disclosure in this section that you plan to roll out about 100 franchise restaurants in 2020 and 120 restaurants
within three years. You state elsewhere in this section that you plan to launch 120 new restaurants in each of 2021 and 2022.
Please revise to clarify how many restaurants you intend to open in each of the next three years.

Avenue of the Americas | 37th Floor | New York, NY | 10036
T (212) 930 9700 | F (212) 930 9725 | WWW.SRF.LAW
Response:
The
Company’s original plan to roll-out restaurants remains unchanged - 100 in 2020, 120 in 2021, and 120 in 2022. The timeline
for opening its franchise restaurants was delayed only because of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the lifting of containment measures
in China, the Company has resumed its plans to establish its franchise restaurants in the third quarter of 2020.
Presently,
the restaurants are expanding based on the coverage of local service centers. Since the Company is headquartered
in Shenzhen, they have already signed franchise agreements for 25 restaurants in the Shenzhen area, which will all be set up by
year end, 2020. Based on the status of business negotiations, the Company expects to replicate this model in Huizhou
and Zhuhai with executed franchise agreements in October and the setting up of the restaurants thereunder to be completed in November
and December 2020. Accordingly, the Company expects to average the establishment of 20-30 restaurants per month from September
through December 2020 with an aggregate of 100 by the end of 2020.
4.
In your supplemental response to prior comment 4, you state that the company expects to launch 50-70 franchise restaurants June
30, 2020 and thereafter will launch another 40 restaurants per month. However, your revised disclosure in the registration statement
states that the company will launch 32 restaurants per month beginning in September 2020. Please reconcile. In addition, please
update your disclosure to reflect the number of restaurants launched as of the submission date of your next amendment. Lastly,
revise to address the relevant milestones necessary to successfully scale up food supply, marketing, and management logistics
from one restaurant to a chain of restaurants, as well as the associated risks and difficulties of doing the same. In this regard,
we do not believe that it necessarily follows that the operations and associated challenges of a single restaurant would be the
same as those of a large chain. Please advise.
Response:
We
have reconciled the inconsistencies. As of the date of submission of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, the Company has
signed franchise agreements for 25 restaurants in the Shenzhen area, which will all be set up by year’s end.
As
mentioned above, the Company plans to roll-out its expansion plans based on its “local service center-centric”
model, spear-headed by its Shenzhen headquarters. The Company expects to replicate this model in Huizhou and Zhuhai with
executed franchise agreements in October. Each aspect of operations will be replicated – from food supply chain,
marketing and management logistics with the exception that management will be coordinated from the relevant local service
center level instead of the Company’s Shenzhen headquarters. Each local service center will function autonomously but
in accordance with the franchise model. Each restaurant is also integrated with the others within the same group. Management
of the Company will, however, form the backbone and provide back room support, such as problem-solving to the local
service center and its restaurants. For example, the Company’s existing suppliers will provide the food supplies to
these new restaurants. Marketing will follow that used by the Company but localized to the various districts.
China
has already eased lockdown measures and re-opened “green channel measures” for the logistics and transportation of
the food to ensure the effective supply of food to our restaurants. The only challenges the Company foresees, if any, would be
in managing the local service centers and ensuring their and their restaurants’ compliance with the franchise model, both
from an operational aspect and in the quality of restaurants’ services and offerings.
5.
Please revise to describe the material terms of your franchising agreements, including termination provisions, services rendered
by each party under the agreements, and any financing arrangements whereby the company or preferred lenders provide funding to
franchisees.

Responsive
to the Staff’s comments, the Company has added disclosure of the material terms of its franchising agreements.
Social
Media, page 82

We are unable to locate your response to prior comment 5; therefore, we re-issue the comment. To the extent that you use key performance
indicators in managing your business, please consider revising your MD&A to include a discussion of how these
measures
are calculated and used, along with a discussion of comparative period amounts. Alternatively, explain why you do not believe
this disclosure is necessary. Refer to Section III.B.1 of SEC Release No. 33-8350 and SEC Release 33-10751.
Response:
The
Company has included disclosure of key performance indicators titled “How to Assess the Company’s Performance”
to discuss how these measures are calculated and used.

Amendment No. 4 to Draft Registration Statement Submitted on August 13, 2020
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update, page 51
1.Please address more specifically how COVID-19 has impacted your services, explaining
the extent to which you have reopened your business and demand has returned for your
business following the lockdown earlier this year. Also, expand your disclosure to explain
any current restrictions on businesses in your industry or locale. Further, to the extent
possible and given the amount of time that has passed since the initial outbreak of
COVID-19, please update your disclosure to discuss any known trends and uncertainties
that have had or likely will have a material impact on your business and results of

operations. Refer to CF Disclosure Guidance: Topic No. 9 for further guidance, available
at https://www.sec.gov/corpfin/coronavirus-covid-19.
Quality Control Team, page 68
2.We note your response to prior comment 3. Please revise to describe the process by
which the quality control team that conducts onsite inspections assesses whether products
meet national or industry quality standards. If your team is not making onsite assessments
and is not independently determining whether these standards have been met, and is
instead relying on suppliers to provide proof of government licensure, please revise to
clarify. However, if onsite exams are conducted by your team, explain how the exams are
performed, how compliance is assessed, and the consequence if a supplier fails to satisfy
your private inspection.
Restaurants, page 68
3.We note your disclosure in this section that you plan to roll out about 100 franchise
restaurants in 2020 and 120 restaurants within three years. You state elsewhere in this
section that you plan to launch 120 new restaurants in each of 2021 and 2022. Please
revise to clarify how many restaurants you intend to open in each of the next three years.
4.In your supplemental response to prior comment 4, you state that the company expects to
launch 50-70 franchise restaurants June 30, 2020 and thereafter will launch another 40
restaurants per month. However, your revised disclosure in the registration statement
states that the company will launch 32 restaurants per month beginning in September
2020. Please reconcile. In addition, please update your disclosure to reflect the number
of restaurants launched as of the submission date of your next amendment. Lastly, revise
to address the relevant milestones necessary to successfully scale up food supply,
marketing, and management logistics from one restaurant to a chain of restaurants, as well
as the associated risks and difficulties of doing the same. In this regard, we do not believe
that it necessarily follows that the operations and associated challenges of a single
restaurant would be the same as those of a large chain. Please advise.
5.Please revise to describe the material terms of your franchising agreements, including
termination provisions, services rendered by each party under the agreements, and any
financing arrangements whereby the company or preferred lenders provide funding to
franchisees.
Social Media, page 82
6.We are unable to locate your response to prior comment 5; therefore, we re-issue the
comment. To the extent that you use key performance indicators in managing your
business, please consider revising your MD&A to include a discussion of how these
measures are calculated and used, along with a discussion of comparative period amounts.
Alternatively, explain why you do not believe this disclosure is necessary. Refer to
Section III.B.1 of SEC Release No. 33-8350 and SEC Release 33-10751.
