Note

After an about-six-month special survey on the program, the Tojoy professional team believes the program has good development prospects and, as such, has officially invested in the program and became a strategic shareholder of the program’s company. Tojoy’s investment doesn’t replace the company’s partners’ prudential judgment of the program’s investment risks, nor does it represent any guarantee of the program’s success. Whether or not the company’s partners choose to cooperate with the program is their own decision.

Cooperation Model
Joint Operations at Home

Selection of City Partners

We select only one city partner for one city. The city partner locks the exclusive operation rights of Tango in the city and enjoys the profit by receiving royalties.
The city partner also selects lodgings in the city, establishes independent offline operation teams, and organizes offline custodies and online product launches.
Based on the permanent population, economic development levels, and the tourism development of the city, the royalties for the exclusive cooperation rights range from 400,000 yuan to 40 million yuan.

Collaboration Profits

Tangguo adheres to the principle of sharing and generating win-win solutions. As such, it is happy to share operating results with all collaborating parties. City partners can share up to 70% of the platform’s profit in the city, including profit made from Tango’s:
◆ Platform usage fee
◆ Butler service fee
◆ General clothing delivery fee
◆ Platform tourism income
◆ Besides, city partners can put 5-10% quality houses into custody, thus earning 100% custody profit which is around 20% of the rental revenue.

Sharing Ultra-High Operating Income

Tangguo provides multiple benefits, so as to create the No.1 lodging brand.

Foreign Investment Cooperation Model

Investor conditions: Global entrepreneurs and investment agencies
◆ Investing 2 million to 10 million yuan (over US$300,000)
◆ Investment amount: 5 to 20% in a subsidiary in a country.

Investors’ Shareholder Equity
◆ Shareholders’ annual bonus.
◆ When the share price rises, shareholders can apply for an internal transfer of shares.
◆ M&A, or exit due to being acquired.
◆ Exit in overseas listing.

Investors’ Other Benefits

◆ Domestic entrepreneur funds and business can go to overseas markets, thereby building international business for later generations.
◆ Domestic enterprises can transform and update themselves, expand horizons, and seek the best opportunities for resources and capital.
◆ Investors can gain overseas job opportunities for children or relatives (investors with a stake of over 10%).
◆ Investors can participate in two luxury tours for global shareholders, or global business exchange and inspection meetings, for free every year.
◆ Investors can participate in large national and global activities, international political VIP ceremonies, year-end ceremonies, and shareholders’ meetings organized by Tango.
◆ Investors can enjoy overseas customized business and travel consulting services, one-stop private butler services for enterprise, family, and overseas business trips, as well as customized travel plans, all with corporate prices and VIP treatment.

Take Thailand, for Example

The valuation of the Thai company is 50 million yuan. The investment amount is 5 million yuan, a 10% stake.
Market data (2016): population: 67.96 million, GDP: 2.4563 trillion, inbound tourists: 32.57 million (including 8.77 million Chinese), inbound tourist consumption amount: 319.3 billion, of which Chinese tourist consumption amounted to 85.6 billion .
If a 1% market share is realized, the 10% commission income plan is adopted. That is to say, if the Thai company realizes an income of 85.6 million yuan and the expected net profit is no less than 50 million yuan, the investor with a 10% stake can obtain a profit of no less than 5 million yuan.
