Merchant Retention Rate Exceeds 90%: Fushi Tech Marching into Overseas Markets by Utilizing AI Products

HONG KONG, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The AI boom continues to gain momentum. As institutions predicted that 2026 will be a pivotal year for AI applications transitioning from “technical verification” to “commercial promotion.”

According to China Fortune Securities, this shift is primarily driven by three key turning points: First, the gradual maturation of technology, with many large-scale models now equipped with capabilities such as robust tool invocation, multi-modal understanding, and autonomous planning. Second, continuous policy support, as the government advocates for the “AI+” initiative, emphasizing the formation of commercial applications. Third, resonance in market demand, spanning from cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the business sector to widespread adoption in the consumer market[1].

Against this backdrop, many Chinese companies are turning their attention to overseas markets, exporting China’s AI capabilities to establish a differentiated competitive advantage against international rivals. Fushi Tech is one such example.

Fushi Tech, an ecosystem company under the Hong Kong-listed firm YEAHKA(9923.HK), positions itself as a global AI service provider to merchants. It’s currently serving clients across Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, etc., offering services including store operations, membership management, and payment management to merchants worldwide.

Johnson Tan, Vice President of Fushi Tech, previously noted in an interview that the company began increasing its AI R&D investments in 2023, leveraging AI innovations to empower business decision-making and enhance operational efficiency.

In 2025, Fushi Tech’s AI products began to materialize. In March of that year, the company announced the launch of an AI Agent for the F&B industry in Southeast Asia, followed by another AI Agent product called AI SHOP.

Currently, Fushi Tech’s core product portfolio includes AI CRM and AI SHOP. AI CRM aggregates massive merchant and membership data, unlocking significant commercial value. Upcoming innovative features include natural language interaction for generating customer acquisition pages. For instance, merchants can simply describe their products, services, and conversion goals, and the system will leverage AI technologies like natural language processing to automatically create and deploy customer acquisition pages for direct marketing use. This represents not just a tool upgrade but also an Agent-powered solution that helps merchants respond agilely to market demands, shortening the distance from insight to business growth.

AI SHOP, on the other hand, dynamically generates product categories based on user descriptions in familiar languages, creating a personalized shopping experience. The entire process allows seamless switching between category scenarios, anticipates consumer needs in advance based on customer preferences and behavioral data, and proactively recommends optimal shopping combinations to enhance sales conversion rates.

It has become a consensus among many industry insiders that 2026 is a critical year for agents to “create economic value.” Tang Jie, a professor at Tsinghua University and founder of ZhiPu, recently highlighted three factors that will determine the future trajectory of agents: value rigidity, cost control, and development speed. He emphasized that the primary factor is whether Agents can address genuinely high-value human needs. Secondly, implementation costs must be controllable to ensure commercial viability. Lastly, in an era of rapid iteration for large-scale models, “competing on speed and time” is crucial, as companies need to quickly validate and capture market opportunities within limited time windows[2].

In terms of results, Fushi Tech currently serves over 220 brands, more than 34,000 merchants, and over 40 million customers. With the support of AI, the merchant retention rate exceeds 90%, far surpassing the customer retention rates achieved through traditional marketing methods.

Public information indicates that Fushi Tech has completed multiple rounds of financing, with investors including SF SoFast and Cowin Capital, among other well-known domestic investment institutions [3, 4]. It is reported that Fushi Tech has invited Mr. Zeng Zijian to join the company and lead its financial management, financing, and capital market operations. Previously, Zeng worked at Goldman Sachs and RedNote.

In terms of market strategy, Fushi Tech will continue to delve deeper into the application scenarios of AI technology, both internally and externally, to further solidify its AI R&D achievements and rapidly expand its overseas business scale.

 

HDBank completes issuance of US$100 million green bonds to international investors


HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 January 2026 – Ho Chi Minh City Development Commercial Bank (HDBank, ticker symbol: HDB) has successfully issued a second tranche of international green bonds worth US$50 million to the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank (FMO) and British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance institution and impact investor, completing its $100 million international green bond initiative in 2025.

HDBank's international green bond programme strengthens funding diversification and supports sustainable, green and inclusive finance initiatives in Vietnam.
HDBank’s international green bond programme strengthens funding diversification and supports sustainable, green and inclusive finance initiatives in Vietnam.

The announcement was made at “The USD100 Million Green Bond Issuance Disclosure Ceremony” recently held between HDBank and its green bond investors including FMO, BII and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) – a member of the World Bank Group in the presence of the Deputy Consul General of the Netherlands and representatives from the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City.

The bonds included $30 million privately issued to FMO and $20 million to BII. The first tranche was issued to IFC, which facilitated the participation of FMO and BII in the second tranche.

The bonds have a three-year term, are non-convertible and unsecured and issued without warrants.

Nguyen Huu Dang, HDBank’s CEO, said: “Sustainable development goals lie at the heart of HDBank’s strategy, which is centred on delivering the best value for customers, partners and the community. This international green bond initiative marks an important stepping stone on our journey towards achieving those goals.”

The issuance help diversify HDBank’s funding sources, support its sustainable growth strategy and create a foundation for it to continue attracting additional international capital for green finance, sustainable development and inclusive finance initiatives in Vietnam.

This, in turn, helps customers access capital to deploy solar energy projects, electric vehicles, green buildings, and other energy-saving solutions.

Projects financed by the green bond proceeds must undergo rigorous screening, meet environmental and social risk management requirements, and comply with eligibility criteria under the Bank’s Sustainable Finance Framework. These projects are expected to reduce approximately 102,000 tons of CO₂ over 10 years, improve environmental quality and contribute to Vietnam’s Net Zero 2050 commitment.

Weichuan Xu, IFC’s lead for the Financial Institutions Group in Vietnam, Cambodia and Lao PDR, said the issuance marked a significant step in expanding HDBank’s climate finance portfolio and advancing Vietnam’s economic and social progress.

“The funds raised will support projects that foster sustainable industries, generate jobs and strengthen communities,” he added.

Representatives from FMO and BII also highlighted the transaction as a strong signal of the growing readiness and potential of Vietnam’s sustainable finance ecosystem, helping attract more capital for climate-responsible projects.

With this milestone, HDBank reinforces its commitment to sustainable finance and the long-term prosperity of its customers, partners and the community, while expanding its presence on the global financial map.

From Engineering Feats to Ecological Regeneration, Vinhomes Green Paradise Debuts the ESG++ Framework for Future Cities


HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 January 2026 – For decades, the global map of urban development seemed firmly defined by familiar names. The United States shaped the world’s financial megacities; Dubai astonished the globe with audacious land reclamation projects; Singapore became a benchmark for disciplined, sustainable planning. Within that sweeping current, Vietnam was often perceived as a latecomer, observing, learning, adapting, and steadily refining its own path.

Photo (18).jpg

Today, that narrative is shifting. When Vinhomes Green Paradise confidently steps onto the global stage, alongside projects from the world’s most advanced economies, it represents far more than the launch of a new development. It marks a moment when Vietnamese urban thinking moves beyond its domestic context, ready to be assessed, debated, and recognized at a regional and international level.

This is not merely a project announcement. It is a signal of transformation.

When Vietnamese Cities Enter the Global Conversation

Vietnam has, in recent years, earned international recognition through prestigious awards in planning, architecture, and real estate, including the Asia Pacific Property Awards and the International Property Awards. These accolades reflect the growing professionalism and creative capacity of Vietnamese developers, architects, and planners.

Yet Vinhomes Green Paradise occupies a different dimension of aspiration. Its significance does not lie in a single master plan or architectural statement, but in a comprehensive urban philosophy, one where sustainability, advanced technology, and environmental responsibility are no longer supporting ideas, but core drivers placed on equal footing with economic growth.

In this sense, the project signals that Vietnamese expertise has matured. It suggests a readiness not just to learn from the world, but to engage in meaningful dialogue with it, and to contribute original thinking to the global discourse on future cities.

The choice of location is no coincidence. Can Gio is one of Vietnam’s most ecologically sensitive regions, home to more than 75,000 hectares of mangrove forests recognized by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Reserve.

Developing nearly 3,000 hectares in such an environment presents an unprecedented challenge. In a place where ecosystems are delicate and interconnected, any miscalculation could leave irreversible consequences.

Vinhomes Green Paradise emerges precisely within this context. It serves as a comprehensive test of urban knowledge, technological capability, governance capacity, and, above all, environmental accountability. Its implementation demonstrates that Vietnamese enterprises are prepared to meet the most demanding international standards in ecological urban development.

From Urban Project to Urban–Nature Ecosystem

What truly distinguishes Vinhomes Green Paradise is not its scale, but its development philosophy. The project is not positioned as a conventional modern township. Instead, it is conceived as an integrated urban–nature ecosystem, where human life and the natural environment coexist in a state of long-term balance.

Green infrastructure, smart-city technologies, renewable energy systems, digital governance, and ecological restoration are woven into a single, unified framework. Globally, only a handful of pioneering cities, such as Masdar in the United Arab Emirates or Songdo in South Korea, have pursued such an integrated approach at scale.

The emergence of Vinhomes Green Paradise signals that Vietnam is no longer standing at the periphery of this movement. It is entering the arena with the confidence to participate, and potentially to lead, in the global race toward sustainable urban futures.

ESG++: Beyond Sustainability Toward Regeneration

While ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles have become a global standard, Vinhomes Green Paradise advances the concept further through an ESG++ framework, adding two critical dimensions: Regeneration and Resilience.

Rather than expanding by consuming natural resources, the project prioritizes ecological restoration, aiming not merely to minimize harm, but to actively return value to the environment. The vision is of a city that can generate its own energy, treat and reuse its wastewater, and maintain ecological equilibrium over time.

Urban experts increasingly agree that such models are essential in an era of climate change, particularly for coastal cities facing rising sea levels and extreme weather. In this context, Vinhomes Green Paradise contributes to defining a new benchmark for sustainable coastal urbanism, not only in Vietnam, but globally.

Building a megacity in an environmentally sensitive coastal zone demands deep interdisciplinary expertise, spanning geology, hydrology, ecology, materials science, and energy systems. The financial and technological investments required are immense, and few developers are willing, or able, to assume such complexity and risk.

It is within this demanding framework that the involvement of AOMI Construction Co., Ltd., becomes particularly significant. AOMI is the owner of the K-DPM soil solidification technology, one of the world’s most advanced solutions for soft-ground and land reclamation projects.

Drawing from Japan’s extensive experience as an island nation with limited land resources, Mr. Okori Katsumi, a Japanese expert, representative of AOMI Construction Co., Ltd., explains: “Japan has long faced constraints in land availability. For decades, we have turned to the sea, creating airports, urban spaces, and new living environments through carefully engineered land reclamation.”

Traditional methods, such as mixing cement directly with soil, revealed critical limitations in scale and transportability. K-DPM technology was developed to overcome these barriers by using high-pressure air to move and solidify large volumes of dredged material, reducing construction time while minimizing environmental impact through reduced reliance on sand extraction.

From Engineering Feats to a 21st-Century Symbol

Japan’s experience in land reclamation has consistently emphasized environmental protection, using containment barriers to limit water turbidity, and applying strict standards for pH levels and material compatibility with surrounding ecosystems. These principles are now being adapted and elevated in Can Gio.

For Vingroup, Vinhomes Green Paradise is not its first venture into coastal engineering. In 2017, the VinFast manufacturing complex in Hai Phong, over 60% of which involved land reclamation, was completed in a record 21 months, setting new benchmarks for speed and technical execution.

In Can Gio, the challenge has been taken further. The project benefits from consultancy by Dutch experts, representing a nation globally renowned for water management and land reclamation expertise. The objective extends beyond structural durability to the comprehensive preservation of indigenous ecosystems over the long term.

If land reclamation once astonished the world through icons like Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, Vinhomes Green Paradise seeks to redefine that legacy through a fundamentally different philosophy: Respect for nature and ecological regeneration.

This ESG++ megacity is more than proof of advanced engineering capability. It stands as a symbol of Vietnam’s national vision, one that looks toward the ocean not as a frontier to conquer, but as a partner in shaping resilient, future-ready cities.

Ultimately, Vinhomes Green Paradise is not simply a real estate development. It is a declaration of aspiration and confidence, a statement that Vietnamese urbanism has entered a new era, where healing people and healing nature are no longer separate goals, but a shared mission for sustainable progress in the 21st century.
