"This agreement is an extension of our licensing with ECRENT in Asia," said Parkson Yip, Vice President of SEII. "During the past year, SEII has been going through an extensive corporate restructuring. While the manufacturing business continues, we are recollecting our strategies with the sharing economy businesses. With our previous licensing agreement with ECRENT covering the Asian region, we have begun local business development activities and early indications are promising. Therefore, we have decided to move forward with this agreement again, cooperating with ECRENT at a greater effort to cover the European market as well. The new agreement provides SEII with another potential income opportunity in the coming year, as well as an expansion of our market reach into Europe. The sharing economy has been well accepted in European communities, so we believe a sharing classified advertising platform like ECRENT can open up more channels for sharing opportunities among consumers and can be adapted in the region quickly. ECRENT has recently been endorsed with over US$2 billion in business valuation, we have a strong confidence that the sharing economy community model will work out well."
