DUBAI, UAE, SYDNEY and NEW DELHI, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — An entertainment and creative arts lawyer’s bold vision for a revolutionary online art auction platform, Lloyds Auctions, launched on January 1, 2026, and has already secured over $1 billion in committed art listings, including more than 3000 pieces within its first few weeks, positioning it as one of the fastest-growing art-tech platforms in history.

Giuseppe Cassin spent more than a decade closing multimillion-dollar deals for filmmakers, artists, directors, and collectors. Frustrated by the art world’s outdated, old-world system – high fees, invitation-only sales, and persistent integrity issues – he developed a game-changing idea: a digital-first platform that does for authenticated art what Uber did for taxis.

It connects sellers directly to a global audience with rigorous authentication, high-end curation, transparent fees, and real-time bidding open to anyone, anywhere. “We’re giving every artist, collector, and seller the same global access that only a handful enjoyed before,” said Giuseppe Cassin, Founder: Lloyds Creative Arts.

Cassin pitched the concept to investors and secured heavy backing from leading online auction house Lloyds Auctions. The platform officially launched on January 1, 2026, with its first dedicated online auction going live in mid-January, featuring a headline collection of 30 Southeast Asian Masters including works from masters such as MF Husain, FN Souza, Manjit Bawa, and Vasudeo S. Gaitonde with estimates in the tens of millions. The response was immediate and strong: sellers and collectors flooded in.

In just its first few weeks of trading, the platform has locked in over $1 billion worth of committed art listings, spanning blue-chip masters to emerging talents. “Our mission is to make art accessible to everyone in a safe, non-intimidating way,” Mr. Cassin continued. “With every work rigorously verified and independently authenticated – including by an expert of the buyer’s choice – bidders and buyers bid with a higher level of confidence, especially on master’s and other ultra-high-value art categories. At the same time, emerging artists get immediate global exposure and real-time feedback from customers on what resonates with their work.”

The platform’s rapid rise has drawn strong interest from investors and industry insiders, who now see unicorn status (a $1 billion+ valuation) as a realistic next milestone. Should it reach that mark, it would rank among the quickest ascents since Canva.

The platform continues to receive new artists and collectors every day, with fresh auctions launching regularly.

The milestone store opening comes on the heels of DPC Dash’s exceptional 2025 performance, during which the Company successfully achieved its full-year store expansion targets and strengthened its leading position in China’s pizza market.

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Guided by its user-centric philosophy, Baseus — a global leader in consumer electronics and smart charging solutions — today announced the launch of new charging stations in its Nomos II series: a 6-in-1 245W model. Designed to address the evolving needs of modern users, the new products combine powerful performance with practical, reliable, and stylish design.

Tailored to professionals such as programmers, creators, and desk setup enthusiasts, the Nomos II series chargers address common multi-device charging challenges, including tangled cables, limited ports, and unstable power. With high power capacity and innovative integrated cable design, the series delivers efficient, reliable, and clutter-free charging for multiple devices. The cables extend flexible reach and retract neatly to keep desks organized, making Nomos II ideal for home offices, professional setups, and mobile work environments where both performance and workspace aesthetics matter.

Baseus Nomos NH21 6-in-1 Desktop Charging Station with Dual Retractable Cables 245W

The 245W Nomos model serves as a comprehensive desktop energy hub, featuring dual 0.8m braided USB-C retractable cables, two additional USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, supporting up to six devices simultaneously.

Normally, desktop chargers require users to carry and plug in extra cables, which often leads to tangled cords, cluttered desks, and limited reach. To address this pain point, Baseus introduces an innovative integrated design with two retractable USB-C cables that extend securely for flexible reach and retract neatly when not in use — replacing messy traditional cords while withstanding over 35,000 pulls for lasting durability.

Delivering up to 245W total output, including dual USB-C ports capable of 140W each, the Nomos NH21 applies BPS 3.0 intelligent power distribution to automatically allocate power across connected devices for optimal efficiency and safety. Its advanced GaN technology ensures higher power delivery in a cooler, more reliable form factor. Unlike conventional chargers that concentrate heat in the main body, the 6-in-1 245W model adopts a split design that effectively disperses thermal load to the power adapter, enabling stable, high-wattage charging for multiple devices simultaneously. A built-in digital display further enhances usability with real-time power and current monitoring.

The charger is compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and cameras — such as iPhone 12–17, MacBook, MateBook, Galaxy, iPad, Switch, DJI, and GoPro. It also supports Qi2 wireless charging for the iPhone 12–17.

Baseus Nomos NH21 5-in-1 Desktop Charging Station with Retractable Cable 160W

As a Nomos II-generation product launched in H2 2025, the 160W 5-in-1 Nomos II offers a compact desktop charging solution with one 0.8m braided retractable USB-C cable, two additional USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and Qi2 wireless charging, supporting up to five devices simultaneously. 

Both models are designed for seamless usability, enabling instant plug-and-charge convenience without the need for extra adapters or setup, further simplifying multi-device power management and empowering modern professionals to maintain efficient, clutter-free workspaces.

HONG KONG, Jan. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With the Hong Kong Government’s official implementation of the new vehicle seat belt legislation from 25 January 2026, further enhancing road and passenger safety, Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings Limited (“Kwoon Chung Bus”) is pleased to announce that most of the buses under the Group have already been fully equipped with seat belts for passenger seats, in full compliance with the new statutory requirements. The Group continues to uphold its core safety culture of “Safety, We Care”, reinforcing passenger and journey protection through a holistic approach encompassing systems, training, and technology.

As one of the largest non‑franchised bus operators in Hong Kong, Kwoon Chung Bus has, over the years, regarded safety as an integral part of its corporate culture and daily operations. The Group firmly believes that truly sustainable safety does not rely solely on equipment or regulatory compliance, but is rooted in the care and sense of responsibility demonstrated by every employee in their day‑to‑day work.

Mr Wong Leung Pak, Matthew, SBS, Chairman of Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings Limited, said: “Safety, We Care” is not merely a slogan, but a safety culture that Kwoon Chung Bus has established and practised over the years. Through systems, training and technology, we integrate safety into daily operations, enhancing driving safety from a preventive perspective and ensuring that every passenger can complete their journey with peace of mind.”

Building on this established safety culture, Kwoon Chung Bus is progressively introducing AI-powered smart video recording systems to support management teams in monitoring and analysing driving conditions, enabling more effective identification of potential risks and timely follow‑up actions.

Turning Care into Action – Strengthening Daily Safety Management

The development and optimisation of the AI smart recording system has been ongoing for nearly a decade. Currently, more than half of the Group’s fleet has been equipped, with full deployment across the entire fleet targeted for completion by the end of 2026. Through onboard cameras and real‑time analysis, the system can identify inattentive or high‑risk driving behaviours and issue immediate alerts to drivers, reducing risks at source.

When abnormal or irregular driving behaviour is detected, alerts are promptly issued within the vehicle, while relevant footage is simultaneously uploaded to a cloud platform for analysis and follow‑up by Kwoon Chung Bus’s Training & Performance Management Department, in accordance with established procedures. Where necessary, the control centre will contact the driver based on the assessed risk level to conduct performance reviews and improvement measures, ensuring that the safety culture is effectively implemented across every operational link.

Long‑Term Development: Advancing Smart Safety Management 
through Data‑Driven Innovation

Looking ahead, Kwoon Chung Bus will continue to collect and analyse local driving data to further train and optimise the system. As big data analytics mature, the Group plans to introduce the “Safe GPT” intelligent safety analysis platform, leveraging artificial intelligence to evaluate historical driving behaviour, identify high‑risk periods and driving weaknesses, and arrange targeted training programmes to prevent incidents at source.

Kwoon Chung Bus reiterates that “Safety, We Care” is a safety culture embedded across systems, technology and employee conduct. The Group will continue to promote safety management in a prudent and systematic manner, providing the public with safe, reliable and high‑quality transportation services.

Kwoon Chung Bus Group is one of Hong Kong’s largest non-franchised bus companies, dedicated to providing reliable, safe, economical, and comfortable bus services, including franchised buses, non-franchised buses, cross-boundary buses, rehabilitation buses, limousine, and airport transfers.
