✅ Q & A session:
Q: The funds of the expansion just mentioned have been accounted for?
A: Yes.
Q: How does SALUTE and partners distribute profits?
A: This is a sensitive question, and we are not convenient to answer it
in too much detail. All we can say is that we have signed some
contracts, the products are sold, they earn their part, and we earn our
part. However, if we develop a new technology together, Salutica
(SALUTE) has the first property right.
Q: How many percent of Q3 and Q4 mouse production accounts for the maximum production capacity?
A: Before this product was just launched, the first batch of goods had
to be transported before it could be sold. Due to the problem of
transportation time, there was an “empty window period”. The subsequent
capacity will be produced at the maximum capacity.
According to the CEO words, SALUTE will still have some fluctuations in
the short term (3 to 4 quarters), but in the long run (beginning in
2021) the company will have very good results. And when the management
presents the company's direction and goals, it is very confident, and
knows exactly what they and the company are doing.
The CEO is even confident that he can take the SALUTICA brand worldwide
and occupy a place in the industry, because they have exclusive
technology on the chip.
