HONG KONG, Jan 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Network CN Inc. (OTCBB.NWCN) announced today that the Company has secured the Operating Agreement to co-operate with "Shanghai Changfeng International Sourcing & Investment Co., Ltd." to operate the advertising area of the "Shanghai International Sourcing Center Base" ("the Base") in Shanghai.
Under the agreement signed, Shanghai Changfeng International Sourcing & Investment Co., Ltd. ("ISC") is the owner of the Base and responsible for the Base's management. NWCN will be responsible for the media planning and will be the operator for the whole advertising media of the Base. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, NWCN pursues the right to operate the advertising area for a five-year period and with another 5 years renewal option.
The Base is located in the core area of Changfeng Ecological Business District, Suzhou River North, Putuo District, Shanghai. The Base comprises an international convention and exhibition center and two office buildings and covers a total construction area of 145,000 square meters and will be put into use as early as the beginning of 2014. It acts as a multi-purpose complex for conferences, exhibitions, offices and catering. With the completion of the Base, the Annual Shanghai International Sourcing Fair ("ISF") will be held in the Base. ISF was upgraded as "National Fair" by the Ministry of Commerce and organized by Shanghai Municipal People's Government.
"It's a great start of the year. We are very excited to announce our first operating agreement in 2014. Under this agreement, we negotiated directly with ISC and NWCN will be the media planner and share the advertising profits with ISC without paying huge rights fee, so we expect to achieve a positive return from this project," commented by Earnest Leung, NWCN's Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, the Company anticipates that the change of our business model will help to generate positive cashflow with low risk, i.e. instead of paying rights fee for the media platforms, we share the revenue generated from these projects."
