Group 2: Business Model and Dependency - Nuwa's business model heavily relies on ZhongAn, which is both its largest customer and supplier, creating a "left hand to right hand" dynamic that limits pricing power and profit margins [6][8]. - In previous years, nearly 80% of Nuwa's revenue came from ZhongAn, which has now decreased to about 50%, yet it still represents a significant portion of its income [6][8].
