Press Release
What’s the NFT game Tencent & Alibaba Rush into?
In June 2021, Alibaba and Dunhuang Arts Institute jointly released two NFTs, Dunhuang Flying Sky and Nine Color Deer App skins, which were limited to 16,000 in the world. The works were looted as soon as they were released.
On June 26, 2021, NetEase and Nervina Labs released their first NFT work on Taobao.
On August 3, 2021, Chinese tech giant Tencent’s NFTs trading platform -Huanhe launched 300 copies “Vinyl Record NFT” authorized by TV program “Thirteen Invitations”, and sold out instantly.
Chinese giants’ capital is vying to chase, and it’s so fierce. So far people can’t help asking, what is NFT?
Meet NFT
NFT is short for Non-fungible Token，which is relative to the concept of Fungible Token (FT), each NFT has a unique and only identification, which is not interchangeable, and the smallest unit is 1 and indivisible.
Generally, BTC, ETH, etc. we familiar with are Fungible Token. For example, BTC everyone owns is same, it’s interchangeable with each other, can also be divided into 0.1, or 0.01 without affecting the value and use.
NFT represents indivisible and non-interchangeable items in reality, such as a real estate certificate, a famous painting, a piece of game equipment and so on. They are all unique, and completely lose their value and practicality after being divided. The most typical are collectibles and artworks. These products with non-fungible genes are digitized and tokenized using blockchain technology, and they have become popular NFTs today.
NFT is one and only
Economics stipulates that currency is a unity equivalent and a carrier of consensus on value. In modern society, personal wealth is no longer measured by currency holdings, but includes the value and quantity of assets under his name. Its assets include but not limited to items with market value such as houses, cars, stocks, etc. In most case, the value carried by an asset often far exceeds the value of the cash value they hold. However, real assets have two major shortcomings: poor liquidity and high cost of confirmation. For example, the determination of the right of a house needs to rely on the registration of the Housing Management Committee to determine the ultimate ownership of the house.
But in the blockchain world, the assets we currently have are BTC, ETH with currency attributes. After meeting demand for monetary assets, a value medium of non-monetary assets will naturally emerge, and this is NFT. Relying on the decentralization, immutability and cryptographic authentication of the blockchain, NFT solves a series of problems of real assets:
• The asset is unique and cannot be faked
• Strong liquidity, real-time trading;
• Cryptography is the confirmation and cannot be tampered with.
In addition, NFT also has features that cryptocurrency does not have. Its unique features can be used for identity certification, item ownership certification, virtual props, etc. NFT makes crypto assets more practical, enabling users to expand the utilization of valuable assets in the form of NFT, and is protected by blockchain technology.
NFT Boom Out
NFT is not a new thing born this year, it has made any public appearances early in 2017, but more regarded as a niche thing within Ethereum.
So, what is the real important promoter of NFT out of the circle?
First, let’s ask a question: How much would a digital picture be? The answer is $69.3 million！
On March 11, 2021, an unknown artist Beeple collaged his daily art work for the past thirteen years into a digital picture called “everyday: the first 5000 days”. At Christie’s, it was sold for $69.3 million, which shocked the world.
Overnight, NFT became the outlet. This 40-year-old American painter also made great fortune overnight. The popularity of NFT has caused a huge sensation in many fields such as art, venture capital, and finance.
Commercial filed such as NBA, Samsung, McDonald’s, Marvel, movie stars, etc. are all releasing their own NFT products, and venture capital industry such as Three Arrows Capital, Signum Capital, NGC Ventures, Coinbase, etc. have begun to invest in this field. Internet giants such as Tencent, JD, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are all laying out the NFT battlefield. The opportunities and challenges brought by NFT are more than that brought by the mobile Internet to the Internet.
From the perspective of business history, iPhone, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. were initially used by industry insiders. After going out of the circle by marketing, products, and the trend of the times, the entire society began to accept them, and they evolved from product for a specific group into mass infrastructure. Although the development of NFT is still at an early stage, the boom out of NFT will continue the historical trajectory and accelerate the application of blockchain technology. It is of great significance for promoting the digitalization of society.
NFT Bright Future
Except crypto artworks, will NFT have wider applications? We can find that NFT will be widely used in the future. For example, the recent popular NFT+DeFi and NFT+game, as well as the concept of meta-universe, are inseparable from the future development of NFT. The physical application of NFT will solve many problems for the society, such as:
First, intellectual property. NFT can represent a painting, a song, a patent, a film, a photo, or other intellectual property rights. NFT can help each unique thing to register the copyright and help it identify the patent.
Second, physical assets. Real estate such as houses and other physical assets are digitized through NFT. It can be used in financial markets such as the circulation of assets.
Third, records and identification. The unique features of NFT, can be used to verify identity and birth certificates, driver’s licenses, academic certificates, etc., to prevent abuse or tampering.
There will be many physical applications of NFT in the future, which will surely solve various practical problems for the society. Presumably this is the ultimate goal of various giant capitals. As the world’s first physical digital economy token trading platform-BtLux Exchange focuses on the implementation of blockchain scenarios that are closely related to people’s lives.
Different from other cryptocurrencies with no entity value support, BtLux regards the underlying innovation of the blockchain as an important breakthrough in the independent innovation of core technology, and takes the use of blockchain to trade, calculate, and record to promote real economic activities on the chain under supervision. At the same time, realize the market operation and value management of digital assets after the certification, redefine the interest distribution relationship of producers, consumers and participants, and form a brand new financial and business model.
Soon, BtLux will accelerate the integration of NFT and physical enterprises based on years of experience in the implementation of blockchain physical scenarios, provide top-level business architecture design and digital economic model design for physical enterprises, and jointly build “blockchain” + “new ecology”, So that participants in the entire chain can benefit. It would bring tangible benefits to the real economy and the entire society, and be widely recognized by the society, making digital currency a living water, flowing in the real economy, and bringing benefits to the real economy more vitality and new power.
NFT is a new world brought about by the technological explosion era, and the digitalization process of the real world in the next ten years will also be greatly accelerated. In the future, only when NFT accelerates the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy, the technological value of the blockchain will gradually emerge in this process. It will be able to bring new business models and reconstruct distribution models, market structures, organizational forms, and industry relationships to promote human beings to a new era of digital civilization, and in that, BtLux will become an indispensable promoter.

Scalable Websites provides professionally built, AI-powered websites for contractors and trades nationwide, starting at $95 per month with hosting, security, and lead capture included.
Montgomery, Texas, United States, 28th Sep 2026 – Scalable Websites, a web design firm specializing exclusively in the home services and trades industry, is highlighting its professionally built and managed website solutions for contractors nationwide. With more than 200 completed contractor websites and a decade of home-service-specific experience, the company offers a focused alternative to generic web agencies for roofing companies, HVAC businesses, fire protection firms, and dozens of other trades.
Across the country, homeowners increasingly begin their search for a contractor on a mobile device — often from a jobsite driveway or a living room couch. Research consistently shows that visitors form an impression of a business within seconds of landing on a webpage. For contractors running lean operations, a slow, outdated, or unfocused website can quietly redirect potential customers to a competitor before a single phone call is made. The demand for trade-specific, conversion-focused web design has grown steadily as the home services market becomes more competitive online.
Scalable Websites addresses this need with a service built around the specific workflows and customer behaviors of the trades. Every website is mobile-first by design, meaning it is built to perform for homeowners searching from a phone rather than a desktop. Sites include conversion architecture — click-to-call headers, trust badges, and strategically placed quote request forms — along with automatic Google review display, hosting, security monitoring, and ongoing updates, all bundled starting at $95 per month. The typical launch timeline is measured in days, not months. The company currently supports more than 52 individual trade categories, including roofing, HVAC, siding and gutter, pool builders, tree service, painting, pressure washing, sandblasting, window installation, and general contracting. Contractors looking for a purpose-built online presence can explore the full offering for website design for contractors and trades directly on the company’s site.
Unlike general web design agencies that apply the same template across industries, Scalable Websites focuses entirely on home service contractors. The company’s sites are described as AI-powered, incorporating tools designed to improve lead capture and automate elements that support consistent job booking. Every project is professionally managed after launch, so contractors can stay focused on the field rather than on technical maintenance.
“Contractors deserve websites built specifically for how homeowners search and hire — not recycled templates that blend in with every other business online. We built Scalable Websites to give trades professionals a real digital presence that books jobs,” said a spokesperson for the company.
Contractors interested in a new or upgraded website can schedule a no-obligation consultation by visiting scalablewebsites.com or by calling Scalable Websites directly at (832) 979-2478. The team reviews each contractor’s current online presence and outlines a clear path to a site that is ready to convert homeowner visits into estimate requests and booked jobs.
About Scalable Websites Scalable Websites is a web design company dedicated exclusively to contractors and home service trades. With more than 200 completed projects and over ten years of industry-specific experience, the company builds and manages mobile-first, AI-powered websites for trades professionals across the United States.

New Experiences in Shanghai for Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day! The 2026 International Audio-Visual Arts Carnival Unveils a “Technology + Culture” Audio-Visual Feast
Shanghai, China / Timesnewswire / September 27, 2026 – As cutting-edge technology meets humanities and art, and millennia of Chinese traditional aesthetics collide with next-generation audio-visuals, a city-wide cultural celebration for all arrives as scheduled. The 2026 International Audio-Visual Arts Carnival will be held in Jing’an, Shanghai, from September 24 to October 18, inviting you to perceive the world through sight and sound.
As a city-wide audio-visual feast, this event combines tech experiences, immersive performances, industry summits and trend-themed social activities. Spearheaded by four flagship programs: the International Audio-Visual Arts Experience Space, the “Audio-Visual Wonderland” Immersive Show, the International Audio‑Visual Art and Technology High-End Salon, and the International Audio‑Visual Arts Gala, and joined by two signature events — the 4th “Shining · Shanghai” Jing’an International Light and Shadow Exhibition and the New Nanxi International Technology and Culture Trend Week, the carnival is backed by a full suite of city-wide extension initiatives to form a three-dimensional “1+2+N” event system.

China Media Group (CMG) hosts an independent pavilion here to showcase national-level audio-visual technological achievements. Unlike traditional static board-style displays, the venue is designed to be “hands-on, interactive, and immersive” across all zones.

Blending Virtual and Real, Interpreting Ancient and Modern Elegance — The Immersive Show Unfolds a Time-Travel Journey
The Immersive Show: “Audio-Visual Wonderland” will run in continuous rotation during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday from September 25 to 27.

It fully displays the artistic charm of this intangible heritage via high-pole physical sets and 3D mapping technology. Treasure Box of Time–Space assembles numerous art troupes and conservatories. Supported by bidirectional moving stages and holographic projection, it achieves virtual-reality fusion. Dunhuang flying apsaras dances, Han Dynasty variety shows, flourishing Tang Dynasty music and dance, Song-style porcelain music, Yellow River Old Tunes, and Jiangnan Kunqu are performed in sequence, tracing the context of thousands of years of Chinese civilization. Accompanied by the melody of A Moonlit Night on the Spring River, it conveys the Eastern artistic conception of family reunion during Mid-Autumn Festival. Above the Tides presents a three-dimensional Shanghai through a “Light and Shadow Magic Box”. Dancers’ body movements drive light and shadow in real time, alongside real-time interactive floor screens, laser effects and immersive set design. From river and sea tides to urban renewal, the interweaving of sound and visuals interprets Shanghai’s past and future.
Six Leading Voices from the Global Audio-Visual Industry Gather at Shanghai’s High-End Salon
The International Audio-Visual Art and Technology High-End Salon will be held from September 25 to 26, with one themed session held in the morning and afternoon each day.

The Dallas-based finance and technology entrepreneur discusses how experience in investment banking, community banking, software, acquisitions, and asset management has shaped the questions he asks when evaluating new opportunities.
DALLAS, Texas, 26th September 2026, ZEX PR WIRE— A promising business opportunity can look very different depending on which side of the table someone is sitting on.
After more than four decades working across finance and technology, Gary Bassett has occupied several of those seats. He has analyzed companies as an investment banker, worked inside community banking, built and operated an enterprise software company, experienced an acquisition as a founder, and later returned to institutional finance.
Each experience, Bassett says, added another question to the way he evaluates an opportunity.
“Early in my career, I learned to ask whether the numbers supported the story,” Bassett said. “Later, after running a company myself, I learned to ask another question: What actually has to happen every day for those numbers to become real?”
Looking Beyond the Initial Opportunity
Bassett began his career in investment banking at J.P. Morgan in New York in 1979. His work included financial modeling, valuation, due diligence, and corporate debt transactions.
The experience taught him to examine the assumptions underneath a proposal rather than focusing only on its potential.
“An idea can sound very compelling until you start changing the assumptions behind it,” Bassett said. “What happens if growth is slower? What happens if the cost is higher? What has to go right for the plan to work? Those were useful questions to learn early.”
His subsequent experience in Texas banking brought those questions closer to individual businesses and communities.
Bassett became a founding shareholder of Lamar National Bank and served as president of the Lamar Bank Center. The work exposed him to commercial banking, lending, real estate, and the practical consequences of financial decisions.
That perspective became particularly important when Bassett moved from analyzing businesses to building one.
Building Microbank Changed the View From the Other Side
In 1985, Bassett founded Microbank Software Inc., an enterprise software company serving organizations in banking and construction.
Running the company introduced a different set of considerations. A business could not succeed on strategy alone. Products had to work. Customers had to see value in them. Employees had to execute. Problems that appeared small on paper could become much larger when they affected day-to-day operations.
“Building Microbank changed the way I looked at companies,” Bassett said. “When you have been responsible for the product, the customers, and the decisions that have to be made on Monday morning, you start asking different questions when you look at a business.”
Microbank eventually developed an international client base and was acquired by Citicorp. Bassett also participated in the integration that followed the acquisition.
That process added another layer to his experience. Evaluating whether two businesses make sense together is one challenge. Integrating people, systems, customers, and operating processes after a transaction is another.
“A transaction has a closing date, but the work of combining organizations does not end on that date,” Bassett said. “That experience made me pay much more attention to what has to happen after an agreement is signed.”
Returning to Investment Banking With an Operator’s Perspective
Bassett later spent nearly a decade as a managing director at Bank of America, working in investment banking, mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, and strategic advisory assignments.
He returned to institutional finance with experience he did not have earlier in his career: he had founded and operated a company himself.
Bassett says that experience made him more interested in what sits behind financial statements and projections.
“Numbers are important, but every number came from something that happened inside the business,” he said. “There are customers, employees, operating decisions, competitors, and unexpected problems behind those results. I became much more interested in understanding that part of the story.”
Experience Can Change the Questions
Today, Bassett is the founder, chairman, and managing partner of Dallas-based HP Capital Partners, which he established in 2012.
His career has crossed industries and roles, but Bassett does not view those experiences as separate chapters with no connection to one another.
Instead, each has influenced how he approaches the next opportunity.
For business leaders, he believes evaluating an opportunity requires more than asking how attractive the potential outcome appears. It also means examining assumptions, understanding how an organization actually operates, considering what could disrupt the plan, and determining whether the people and systems involved can execute it.
“Experience does not mean you automatically know the answer,” Bassett said. “If anything, it gives you more questions to ask. I think that is useful. The goal is not to make every opportunity look good or bad. It is to understand what would actually have to happen for it to work.”
