SO WHAT: If you purchased Hesai securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the IPO Registration Statement contained false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Hesai Group’s gross margin decrease was caused by a lower in-house utilization rate; (2) Hesai Group’s gross margin was 30% for the fourth quarter-which was completed over a month before the date of the amended registration statement; and (3) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times and negligently prepared. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Hesai class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=13347 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Special promotions set to launch live on Lazada E-Commerce Platform and nationwide retail shops

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach – 3 June 2023 – TCL, a leading consumer electronics brand and the world’s top two TV brand, unveiled its latest multi-category products for the Asia Pacific market at an exclusive and impressive launch event in Bangkok on 25th of May 2023, reinforcing its position in elevating home experiences and inspiring consumers to live more fulfilled lives.

Of all the TCL smart home appliances unveiled during the launch event, air conditioners are the most pivotal to ensuring comfortable and clean living conditions for consumers living in hot climates. Air conditioners have evolved from machines tasked with just accurate temperature control to sophisticated devices, able to create comfortable atmospheric conditions, with smart functionality and added health benefits. TCL has been offering air conditioning products every step of the way, which has forged TCL’s all-round AC line up.

“We are proud to play a part in helping our customers in Thailand relax when they come home from hot summer days working outside, allowing them to return to a cool and comfortable living space” TCL Thailand Presenter Pong Nawat Kulrattanarak said. TCL’s market research has discovered that, asides from basic functions such as cooling and heating, when considering air conditioning units consumers are naturally concerned about the levels of air quality and creating a healthier, more comfortable environment in the home. Considering global warming effects as temperatures continue to rise, smarter, healthier and more eco-friendly ACs will become even more necessary to combat the effects of climate change.

TCL’s dedicated R&D team has been committed to designing innovative air conditioner technologies, which integrate both comfort and health benefits. From Elite Series and T-Pro Series to FreshIN Series, TCL demonstrates the path of AC evolution from simple accurate temperature control to air quality management.

The TCL T-Pro Series AC incorporates a wide range of powerful functions aimed at maintaining the harmonious balance of a cool, clean and pleasant living space. TCL Gentle Breeze technology for T-Pro Series AC solves the pain points of consumers who dislike harsh cold wind.

From the perspective of comfort matched by health, TCL has introduced the TCL FreshIN Series, with a new upgrade set to be available soon in Asia-Pacific. With the latest upgrade, the FreshIN+ will feature a “breathing functionality” which not only allows the AC to inhale fresh air but also exhale indoor dirty air, ensuring the atmosphere condition is kept fresh and comfortable. The latest upgrade will also be more intuitive and intelligent with a built-in sensor which detects TVOC in the air which initiates the breathing mode. Results are displayed in real time on the dashboard, on top of the already powerful fresh air functionalities.

TCL is set to launch a promotion for its air conditioner line with the Healthy and Comfortable Living Festival which will be available via eCommerce platform Lazada to all nationwide retail shops. TCL’s FreshIN Series, T-Pro Series, Elite Series and many other TCL air conditioners will all be available and easily purchased on Lazada Thailand from 6th of June to 8th of June with the “Super WOW” sale at maximum 35% off.

Customers can experience discounts of 40% pus free installation and free cover pipe, 0 interest rate installment payment for 3-12 months and other bonus with discount offers (*conditions applied). During the whole month of June, the Healthy and Comfortable Living Festival will encourage local customers to consider their cooling, health and comfort needs and experience even more amazing offers among all TCL air conditioners.

Ms. Marella Canepa Risso, Franchise Operations Director, Hong Kong and Macau, The Coca-Cola Company(right), and Ms. Aileen Chan, General Manager from Cityplaza. (left), unveil the Coca-Cola “Recycle Bar”.

“Recycle Bar” opens on June 2 and runs through June 11. Decorated with more than 30 pieces of bar furniture made out of 18,000 plastic bottles by 3D-printing, and with a collection of rPET turned everyday items that is exhibited on spot, the ‘Recycle Bar’ aims to raise public awareness about proper collection and recycling of used resources (e.g., plastic bottles) to minimize carbon footprint. Visitors are encouraged to recycle used PET bottles for redemption of free beverages and rPET-made souvenirs.

At the

At the “Recycle Bar”, Coca-Cola encourages the public to cultivate recycling habits. During the event, the public can exchange recycled PET1 bottles for free drinks, or choose from various exquisite Coca-Cola souvenirs made from recycled bottles.

Giving rPET a second life – furniture and everyday items made out of rPET

When recycled properly, PET is a useful material that can be reused again and again. To showcase its endless possibilities, The Coca-Cola Company in Hong Kong has transformed 18,000 recycled PET bottles into bar furniture like bar counter, bar stools, tables and chairs, which are all locally produced. After the exhibition, the furniture will be reused at an ‘Recycling Academy’ experience center, which is also part of The Coca-Cola Company’s public education efforts.

Apart from rPET furniture, rPET can also be “reborn” into everyday accessories that we need in our daily life. A collection of rPET accessories from the U.S., Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong market are also exhibited in the “Recycle Bar”, showing consumers what can be achieved if the community starts to recycle PET bottles together.

From bottle to bottle – the secret behind PET recycling process

“Recycle Bar” is also an educational exhibition for recycling as it unveils the procedures of PET recycling inside a recycling facility, showing consumers how a used bottle can become a brand-new beverage container for new drinks in a plastic recycling ‘loop’. Consumers are also invited to experience one of the recycling procedures by shredding PET bottles in the ‘Recycle Bar’. Consumers may also learn more about proper recycling of beverage packaging.

“In addressing environmental issues, we believe everyone should be accounted for and be accountable. Through public displays like Recycle Bar, as well as other roadshows and workshops that provide consumers with knowledge and experience in PET bottle recycling, we invite Hong Kong people to get inspired through seeing how used PET bottles can be given a new life – again and again – if returned and recycled properly. We encourage our consumers to become aware of their recycling habits – and to change them if necessary – thus partnering with us in helping to build a World Without Waste,” said Marella Canepa Risso, Franchise Operations Director, Hong Kong and Macau, The Coca-Cola Company.

Marella continued: “This effort echoes Bonaqua®’s long-time commitment to sustainable solutions and inspiring more consumers to adopt sustainable lifestyle. The locally produced Bonaqua® Mineralized Water (2L or below) already uses 100% rPET for production, with its bottle 52.8% lighter than conventional PET bottles. We also launched label-less bottles in the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets over the past couple of years in order to further reduce the use of plastics and increase the bottles’ recyclability.”

“At Swire Properties, sustainable development (SD) is central to our business philosophy and company culture. With our SD2030 Strategy, we have been taking actions to contribute to resources management and circularity. Materials recycling facilities have been set up in our developments to foster a healthy recycling ecosystem. We are happy to support Coca-Cola in launching the Recycle Bar with an aim to foster a healthy recycling culture in Hong Kong. In order to establish a city-wide recycling culture in Hong Kong, it is important for us to enhance public education as well as build up a recycle-friendly city with user-friendly facilities,” stated Aileen Chan, General Manager from Cityplaza.

Recycle to redeem free beverage and rPET souvenirs

“Recycle Bar” invites consumers to return plastic bottles with which the organizers can later produce many everyday items. To encourage consumers to establish the habit of recycling, consumers can collect points upon recycling PET bottles, and redeem different kinds of beverages such as Bonaqua® Mineralized Water, which uses 100% rPET for the production of its bottles, as well as other Coca-Cola rPET souvenirs like jacket, polo shirt and pencil cases.

Luoyang Weida Petrochemical’s CRC technology leads the new direction of FCC technology

LUOYANG, CHINA – Media OutReach – 2 June 2023 – From June 1 to 3, at the 2023 industrial green development conference held in Guangzhou, the cold regenerant recycling (CRC) technology exhibited in the comprehensive exhibition area of 2023 industrial green development achievement exhibition won the favor of visitors.

The cold regenerant circulation (CRC) catalytic cracking technology was selected as “the top 20 advanced and applicable low carbon technologies in raw material industry in 2023”.

At the exhibition site, Li Li, deputy general manager of Luoyang Weida Petrochemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Luoyang Weida petrochemical”) said in an interview with reporters that Luoyang Weida Petrochemical is a technological innovation enterprise in the field of carbon neutralization. After 15 years of continuous improvement, its independently developed cold regenerant cycle (CRC) technology has achieved major breakthroughs in basic theory, experimental research and industrial application. This technology first puts forward the concepts of multi zone optimization and reaction depth optimization control of catalytic cracking (FCC) reaction, realizes a subversive new riser reaction path, and leads the development direction of FCC technology.

Catalytic cracking (FCC) process is the core of China’s oil refining industry and the main means of light heavy oil. With the increasing trend of crude oil deterioration and heaviness, and the increasing blending ratio of FCC residue, the quality of gasoline produced by FCC process becomes worse, which intensifies the environmental pollution. The complete set of CRC technology and equipment with the characteristics of energy conservation, emission reduction and low carbon efficiency has finally ushered in a development opportunity.

Since 2008, through independent research and development, the CRC project R & D team composed of Li qunzhu of Luoyang Weida Petrochemical has made a series of core technologies and engineering innovation achievements, such as reaction process, key equipment and optimization control, and realized the world’s first set of industrial applications.

In February 2015, the project passed the industrialization demonstration organized by the China Productivity Promotion Center Association. The appraisal and demonstration opinions of academician Jin Yong, academician Yang Qiye and other industry experts pointed out that the CRC technology adopts mature and reliable cold regenerant circulation and control technology, scientifically solves the current common contradictions among reaction temperature, regeneration temperature, feed temperature and agent oil ratio, and overcomes the worldwide problems that have plagued the FCC technical community for more than 30 years, For the first time, the multi zone optimization of RFCC reaction and the optimal control of reaction depth were realized.

Li Li said that after the successful development of CRC technology, PetroChina oil & Gas Co., Ltd. and PetroChina overseas Guangxi Dongyou asphalt Co., Ltd. adopted CRC technology for technical transformation, making CRC technology achieve good economic benefits in the application of 1million T / a large FCC industrial device.

The operation of the industrial plant shows that the CRC technology has a significant effect on energy conservation and emission reduction, which can improve product quality and reduce the concentration of NOx and Sox in flue gas. Compared with the existing FCC technologies at home and abroad, the light oil yield of CRC technology is increased by 1.7 percentage points, the energy consumption is reduced by 11.6kg standard oil / ton of raw material, the unit consumption of catalyst is reduced by 30%, and the efficiency of each ton of raw material is increased by 166 yuan. At the same time, the quality of gasoline and diesel produced is significantly improved, and the flue gas emissions are significantly reduced, in which Sox is reduced by 30% and NOx concentration is reduced by 40%. Its operating indicators are significantly better than the existing FCC technology, and are at the international leading level. For the first time, CRC technology has realized the independent control and optimal control of the catalyst oil ratio, and then can realize the optimal control of the FCC device. It is safe, reliable, low-carbon and efficient, and has both economic and environmental benefits. Its industrial application will help the oil refining industry to be digital and intelligent, and significantly reduce energy and material consumption.

In June 2014, the project passed the achievement appraisal organized by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, and won the first prize for scientific and technological progress of China Petrochemical Federation. In 2015, the cold regenerant circulation (CRC) technology won the second prize of the National Science Progress Award.

In November, 2021, CRC technology was selected as the “typical case of carbon neutralization” in 2021 by the people’s network, China Environmental Protection Federation and the Ministry of ecological environment. In February, 2022, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the Ministry of ecological environment and the Energy Administration jointly issued the guidelines for the implementation of energy conservation and carbon reduction transformation and upgrading, which listed “CRC technology” as a mature “green process technology” in the oil refining industry during the “fourteenth five year plan”.

On May 28 this year, at the award ceremony of the 6th ZhongGuanCun international frontier science and technology innovation competition, Beijing keruiyin Low Carbon Technology Co., Ltd., invested by Luoyang Weida petrochemical, won the title of “TOP10 in the field of carbon neutralization” in the 6th ZhongGuanCun international frontier science and technology innovation competition.

According to Li Li, at present, CRC technology has been granted a number of national invention patents. Luoyang Weida petrochemical company has fully independent intellectual property rights. All equipment, instruments and materials required for the implementation of CRC technology can also be based in China and play a strong driving role in related industries. The technology is applicable to both new and existing units, so it has strong market competitiveness and broad market prospects for large-scale industrial applications. According to the market share of 50%, during the 10 years from 2020 to 2030, China will increase profits and taxes by about 250billion yuan, save 22.95 million tons of standard coal, and achieve a total CO2 emission reduction of 141 million tons.

Academician Jinyong and other experts pointed out that the cold regenerant circulation (CRC) technology has led the development direction of catalytic cracking (FCC) technology. Its popularization and application will realize the low-carbon production of catalytic cracking units, greatly improve the energy conservation, emission reduction and cleaner production level of China’s refining and chemical industry, and make positive Chinese contributions to the global petrochemical industry.

The Next Frontier in Augmented Reality to create personalized experiences

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 2 June 2023 – MMITA (Meet Me In The Astral), a cutting-edge technology company, launches its mobile app as a new Augmented Reality (AR) platform that allows users to experience and share AR content wherever they are. MMITA offers a creative and immersive opportunity for users to discover the virtual world around them, interact with it, and add their own elements to it.

The MMITA platform makes use of Augmented Reality, to provide a personalized experience to each user who desires to be a part of it. With MMITA, users can create and share their own digital content, including advertisements, art, avatars, and more, and place them in real-world environments using their smartphones. The virtual objects placed can be viewed by anyone using the app, and can also be captured as image or video using the camera of the device.

MMITA provides a map with AR objects at different checkpoints, allowing users to discover them and capture them.

Our platform is designed to provide a fun, creative, and personalized experience for everyone who uses it, whether they’re creating their own content or exploring the content created by others. We believe that MMITA will revolutionize the way people experience Augmented Reality and will be a game-changer in the industry. We have released our SDK and invite game and application developers as well as other content creators to be early pioneers in this new AR universe. We expect that through our own efforts and those of partners or developers that want to sell AR games and applications on the platform, we will see a steady increase of exciting, fun, and value-added applications for both businesses and consumers,” said Gene Kim, Chief Executive Officer of MMITA.

The MMITA mobile app has numerous possibilities for future use, including AR interactive games for consumer brands, virtual art galleries for exhibitions, 3D AR Chatbot as receptionists, and also mass or individually targeted advertising solutions on local buildings. The MMITA team is concurrently working with hardware developers focused on AR glasses, which will ultimately allow users to experience mixed reality in a more holistic manner.
