Company

Company overview

Golden Sun Technology Group Limited helps businesses reach customers on Douyin, Kuaishou and WeChat Video Accounts. It plans and produces content, places advertising, and uses campaign results to adjust spending and targeting. E-commerce merchants, livestreaming agencies and other small and medium-sized businesses pay fees under agreements specifying the work and service period. This marketing work supplies most of the company’s revenue.

The business depends on continued access to these platforms and adapting campaigns to their rules and algorithms. Golden Sun has no long-term platform contracts; access remains conditional on compliance with platform policies.

Tutoring remains a small, supplemental business. Students or parents pay for Yangfushan Tutorial’s instruction for students retaking China’s university entrance examination, known as the Gaokao, and Shanghai Wensaier offers foreign-language courses. Tuition income depends on enrollment and the fees customers will pay. Shanghai Wensaier has stopped accepting new students for Japanese academic tutoring: those courses are subject to government-guided pricing, and it lacks the required private-school operating permit.

Golden Sun’s results now hinge chiefly on Chinese merchants’ marketing budgets and how well traffic on Douyin, Kuaishou and WeChat Video Accounts turns into sales as platform pricing, algorithms and access change.

  • New Oriental and Golden Sun share exposure to Chinese consumers’ livestream shopping: New Oriental sells products to shoppers through East Buy, while Golden Sun earns most of its revenue helping Chinese merchants market and turn short-video traffic into sales.
