This significant insider purchase by CEO Xu Yingkai demonstrates strong conviction, as he acquired shares at the same deep discount price of $0.25 per share as the company's recently completed $950,000 private placement. The CEO's participation accounts for 40% of that offering, indicating a substantial personal investment in the company's capital raise strategy.
