<li>China’s freshly-made beverage industry has developed to the stage of capitalization. Auntea Jenny has to obtain more funds to strengthen barriers, improve supply chain, accelerate expansion.The real competition just begins.</li>
<li>Pre-IPO valuation of Auntea Jenny was already RMB5.1 billion, but the market seems not optimistic about the franchising model. Valuation of Auntea Jenny should be lower than that of Guming/MIXUE.  </li>
