Glory Star expected to further increase profitability

Published

on

Glory Star New Media Group, a Nasdaq-listed digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, is expected to be able to further increase its profitability with its growing market share and economy of scale.

The company reported a 15.8% growth in its Non-GAAP net income to US$16.9 million for the six-months ended June 30 from US$14.6 million in the same period of last year.

During the first half of this year, the company’s total revenues grew 144.6% to US$71.9 million from US$29.4 million, thanks to the increase in advertising revenues and Cheers e-Mall marketplace service revenue, primarily attributable to the development and promotion of its mobile and online businesses.

Income from operations surged 40.9% to US$16.2 million from US$11.5 million.

During the first half year of 2021, the company successfully grew its top and bottom lines as it allocated more resources to sales and marketing to augment its brand equity and fuel its long-term growth engine.

The company’s rising economy of scale will allow it to gradually reduce operating expenses and capitalize on the rising popularity of video content and deliver lasting shareholder value.

At the end of June 30, the number of downloads of the company’s Cheers App reached 215.6 million, up from 121 million a year earlier. The increase in the number, a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of its Cheers App and its e-Mall platform traffic, showed that it had successfully converted viewers of its content to its Cheers App.

Average daily active users (DAUs) of the app grew to 7.1 million from 4.5 million for the same period. Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on its Cheers e-Mall platform jumped to 231,630 from 19,984.

Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of the Cheers App reached US$181.2 million in the first six months of this year, compared with US$20 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in GMV was driven significantly by its ability to attract and retain users to its Cheers App through its professionally produced content and its ability to further enhance its product offerings.

The company has a strong commitment to its corporate mission, meticulous execution of growth strategies, methodical expansion in both overseas and domestic markets, proactive engagement of Generation Z users through innovative products, and prudent investment in sales and marketing initiatives. It plans to refine its competitive edge in content-driven e-commerce of premium lifestyle, deepen our expertise in integrating quality content with lifestyle commerce, and expand our brand influence among Generation Z consumers on a global basis.

During the first half year, the resurgence of Covid-19 and its Delta variant caused the Chinese government to impose travel restrictions within mainland China, particularly in the southern regions of the country.

The company temporarily suspended the production of its traditional “Cheers Series” TV programs, thus resulting in a decline in its cost of revenues during the first six month of 2021. Once the travel restrictions are eased, the company will resume its content production activities in the second half of this year.

As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of US$20.3 million, compared with US$17.7 million at the end of last year.

Blockchain and AI technologies

Since its establishment in 2016, Glory Star has pioneered a unique, new business model integrating e-commerce services with premium video content. With the use of blockchain and AI technologies in its systems, the company has become a leading online digital media and entertainment company in China, with a strong track record both in terms of viewership and production capabilities. The company launched its Cheers App in 2018 to integrate e-commerce services with professionally generated content (PGC).

During the first half, the company produced many more live streaming shows and started to provide title sponsor advertising services at a higher price point. It also spent substantially on the development of the Cheers Chat and Cheers Car.

The company plans to provide more user-generated content (UGC) by forming partnerships with other platforms. It will allow global users to upload their content to its video platforms in the fourth quarter of this year while users will receive advertising revenue or get rewards from viewers directly.

The company will also allow content providers to use its software-as-a-service (SaaS) supply chain system with the blockchain technology that will help them match with relevant merchandisers. Content providers will be able to share the revenue from the sales of products on their video accounts.

The company’s ability to integrate premium lifestyle content, including short videos, online variety shows, online dramas, live streaming, its Cheers lifestyle video series, e-Mall, and mobile app, along with innovative e-commerce offerings on its platform enables it to pursue its mission of enriching people’s lives.

Its large and active user base has created valuable engagement opportunities with consumers and enhanced platform stickiness with thousands of domestic and international brands.

Non-fungible token

Glory Star’s Naschain platform offers one-stop solutions, which include smart contract, multichain universe and cross-chain consensus mechanisms, to users with its blockchain technology. It can help e-shoppers trace the origins of the products, avoid buying counterfeit goods, lower their logistics costs and protect their privacy.

The company has signed an agreement with the Beijing Minsheng Art Museum to use the company’s non-fungible token (NFT) technology, which can be used in copy-rights’ registration, verification, transaction and valuation, to protect the intellectual property of the museum’s artworks. The company will be able to boost its market share by acquiring some NFT service providers.

WellPCB Enhances Motorcycle Wire Harness Production for Automotive and Mobility Applications

Published

on

China, 16th Jun 2026 – WellPCB, a well-known manufacturer of custom-engineered wire harnesses and cable assemblies, has announced enhancements to its motorcycle wire harness production capabilities to serve the expanding automotive and mobility sectors. The development responds to increasing demand for purpose-built electrical interconnect systems designed to meet the specific performance, safety, and durability requirements of two-wheeled vehicles.

Motorcycle wire harnesses serve as the central electrical framework connecting ignition systems, lighting arrays, instrumentation clusters, sensors, and electronic control units throughout the vehicle. As motorcycles incorporate more electronic features — including fuel injection systems, anti-lock braking systems, traction control modules, and digital displays — the complexity of the wiring architecture has increased significantly. WellPCB’s expanded production capabilities address this growing complexity by providing harnesses engineered to precise dimensional and electrical specifications for each motorcycle platform.

The company’s engineering team collaborates directly with manufacturers during the design phase to develop harness configurations that account for the unique spatial constraints and environmental exposures present in motorcycle applications. Routing paths must accommodate engine heat, road vibration, moisture exposure, and limited available space within the vehicle frame. Each harness design is validated against these conditions before entering production, with engineers evaluating connector placement, wire routing clearances, and bend radius limitations to ensure that the completed assembly fits the intended vehicle architecture.

“Motorcycle applications present distinct engineering challenges compared to larger automotive platforms,” said Abby, Operations Specialist at WellPCB. “The compact frame geometry, high vibration environment, and direct exposure to weather conditions all require careful attention during the design and material selection process to ensure long-term performance across a range of operating conditions.”

WellPCB’s motorcycle harness production incorporates materials and components selected for durability under demanding operating conditions. Connector housings are specified for resistance to moisture ingress, while wire insulation materials are rated for the temperature ranges encountered near engine and exhaust components. Terminals and crimps undergo pull-force testing to verify mechanical retention under sustained vibration. Protective sleeving and grommets are applied at points where harnesses pass through frame openings or contact metal surfaces to prevent abrasion-related failures over the service life of the vehicle.

The company’s production processes operate under ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certifications, establishing documented quality management procedures that span materials sourcing, assembly, and final inspection. IATF 16949 certification is particularly relevant to automotive supply chain requirements, providing manufacturers with the traceability and process control documentation needed for integration into their production systems. Each completed harness undergoes electrical continuity and insulation resistance testing before shipment, with results recorded and retained as part of the company’s quality documentation.

WellPCB also offers rapid prototyping services that allow motorcycle manufacturers to evaluate harness designs before committing to volume production. Prototype units replicate the materials, connectors, and assembly methods planned for full-scale runs, enabling functional testing under realistic conditions. This prototyping capability supports both established manufacturers refining existing platforms and new entrants developing original vehicle designs from initial concept through to production-ready specifications.

“The motorcycle and broader mobility sector continues to evolve with the introduction of electric powertrains and advanced electronic systems,” said AbbyB. “The company intends to continue developing its production capabilities to accommodate the changing electrical architecture requirements that these developments bring to the market.”

WellPCB operates from its facility in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China, and provides wire harness and cable assembly services to a global client base. The company’s capabilities include custom engineering, rapid prototyping, and certified production for applications spanning automotive, medical, and industrial sectors.

Harpinder Brar Shares a Practical Framework for Independent Business Owners Navigating Multi-Location Operations

Published

on

  • Harpinder Brar, a Saskatchewan and Manitoba entrepreneur, outlines the operational habits that have helped her manage businesses across two Canadian provinces.

The Multi-Province Challenge

Manitoba, Canada, Jun 16, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Operating a business across two provinces is not simply a matter of opening a second location. Provincial regulations, supply chains, customer expectations, and operational rhythms vary. Entrepreneurs who expand across provincial lines without adjusting for those differences often find that what worked in one context does not automatically translate.

Harpinder Brar has managed businesses in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, including a gas station and grocery store, alongside additional ventures in the region. Her experience offers practical insight into what independent operators need to think through when managing across locations.

Five Habits That Sustain Multi-Location Operations

Pay attention to each location separately. The conditions that shape a business in Saskatchewan may not be identical to those in Manitoba. Treat each location as its own operating environment rather than assuming uniformity.

Address problems early. In retail and fuel operations, small issues escalate quickly. A stock shortage, a supplier delay, or a staff gap that goes unaddressed compounds. Catching problems in their early stage keeps them manageable.

Build relationships with suppliers. Independent operators do not have the purchasing power of national brands. What they do have is consistency and a direct relationship. That relationship is worth maintaining and protecting.

Stay operationally present. Managing multiple businesses requires systems, but systems alone are not enough. Being present, engaged, and informed about what is happening across locations is essential for catching what systems miss.

Keep the focus on the customer. In communities where local businesses are the primary option, the customer relationship is direct and personal. That is both a responsibility and an advantage. Use it.

Why This Matters Beyond the Prairies

The principles Brar applies are not specific to Saskatchewan or Manitoba. Any independent operator managing more than one location, in any sector, is navigating the same core tension between central oversight and local responsiveness. What works is structure paired with attention.

Applying This to Your Own Operation

Start with the habit that is easiest to implement. For most business owners, that is committing to earlier problem identification. Set a simple weekly check-in across each location or function and use it consistently for thirty days. The discipline alone changes what you notice.

You Don’t Have to Be on a Boat to Support the People Who Feed You

Published

on

  • Captain Victor Daniel Silva, a commercial fisherman based in Houma, Louisiana, shares what everyday people can do to strengthen Gulf Coast fishing communities.

The Work Most People Never See

Louisiana, USA, Jun 16, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — People see shrimp on a plate or crab cakes on a menu. They don’t see the four a.m. wake-up calls, the risk, or how much depends on the weather that day. “People see seafood on a plate, but they don’t see the work behind it. They don’t see the early mornings, the risk, or how much depends on the conditions that day,” Victor says.

He’s spent more than two decades on the water. First alongside his father on a wooden-hulled trawler off the North Carolina coast. Then on his own vessel in Louisiana after his father passed. The rhythm hasn’t changed much. “It’s the same rhythm I grew up with. You learn early that the ocean doesn’t wait for you.”

That rhythm keeps Gulf Coast communities running. But it’s getting harder to sustain.

When Everything Goes Right and the Season Is Still Tough

Victor captains The Daniel S., a 48-foot fiberglass shrimp trawler he purchased in 2015. He runs skimmer trawls for brown and white shrimp and manages a 150-trap blue crab line out of Houma and Leeville. Some days the haul is strong. Other days, not so much.

“You can do everything right and still have a tough season. That’s just the reality of working on the water,” he explains. Fuel costs, equipment repairs, and unpredictable catches all add pressure. Independent fishermen operate on thin margins. A single breakdown or storm can erase weeks of income.

Still, Victor keeps going. “You don’t walk away from something like that. It’s part of who you are.”

What Docks Mean to the People Who Work Them

Fishing isn’t just a solo endeavor. The docks where boats tie up are hubs of knowledge, support, and connection. Fishermen share tips on where the shrimp are running, help each other repair nets, and look out for one another when conditions turn dangerous.

“These docks aren’t just workplaces. They’re where people connect, share knowledge, and help each other out,” Victor says. That sense of community keeps the industry alive. When one boat struggles, others step in.

But younger people are leaving the trade. The work is hard, the pay uncertain, and the barriers to entry are high. Fewer young captains mean fewer hands to pass down the skills that take years to learn.

How You Can Make a Difference From Land

Victor believes that people who care about where their food comes from can help. You don’t need to own a boat or live on the coast. Small choices add up.

“You don’t have to be on a boat to make a difference. Just paying attention to where your seafood comes from is a good start,” he says. When consumers ask questions at the counter, when they choose local over imported, when they learn the names of the fishermen behind their dinner, it sends a message. That message tells independent fishermen their work matters.

“It’s about staying connected to the source. When people understand that, they start to care more.”

What You Can Do This Week

  1. Ask where the seafood came from the next time you’re at the market or ordering at a restaurant.

  2. Choose Gulf Coast or locally caught seafood when it’s available.

  3. Learn the difference between wild-caught and farm-raised and decide what matters to you.

  4. Follow a local fisherman or fishing co-op on social media to see what their day looks like.

  5. Talk to someone at a seafood counter about how their supply chain works.

  6. Share a meal with your family and talk about who caught the food on your plate.

  7. Visit a working dock or fish market if you live near the coast.

  8. Support restaurants that name their suppliers and source locally.

  9. Skip imported shrimp for one week and see what’s available from domestic waters.

  10. Tell one friend about the challenges independent fishermen face and why it matters.

A Simple Ask

Pick one action from the list above. Commit to it for seven days. See what you learn. Then share this letter with someone who cares about food, tradition, or the people who do hard work to keep communities fed.

Small shifts in awareness can create real support for the people on the water.
