Hangzhou, CHINA, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Webus International Limited ("Webus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WETO#NASDAQ">WETO</a>), a leading provider of AI-driven mobility solutions specializing in premium, customizable chauffeur services worldwide, today announced plans to establish a new subsidiary in Osaka, Japan, marking a significant milestone in the Company's global expansion strategy.
Webus has signed strategic cooperation agreements with leading local accommodation operators in Osaka, including a comprehensive property management company with approximately $500 million in assets under management. The Company's expansion includes establishing an Osaka headquarters, acquiring land for coastal resorts and boutique accommodations, developing homestay hotels and luxury resorts, creating cultural tourism packages, and building a dedicated vehicle fleet with local drivers—ensuring quality control in this high-demand market.
The property management company's business encompasses land acquisition, house construction and trading, as well as rental and homestay hotel operation, providing Webus with extensive resources across the entire real estate value chain. The Japanese tourism market is booming, with Osaka's GDP growing approximately 4% last year and 28 daily direct flights operating between Shanghai and Osaka alone, attracting visitors from China, Europe, and North America.
Osaka is poised for additional growth. In 2023, Osaka welcomed 15.6 million international tourists, surpassing its 2019 peak, with spending of $22.67 billion. Nationally, Japan hosted 36.9 million visitors in 2024, spending JPY 8 trillion ($51.2 billion), contributing 7.5% to GDP, with 2025 projections targeting 40 million visitors and JPY 9–10 trillion, and a 2030 goal of 60 million and JPY 15 trillion (<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=tvNoQGL9O95R_FioxhWI91yWVjKjkNwxe7bowKuRewvKGC-ZjjTqT9vCTt_MmlY8O8pSyvQWeeGOrTqKOBb_SlJc6ElEKBDjnSniVtouoyJZAMUbz6cOXY_8erdBFJSb">JNTO</a>, <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=B5Haw_IxnrInbSWFDyufM6O33zdfRW_QnUN1xq1SXIaSTVLizb0ZcqsnIlCSgYJEomdFLRnvo_SaPnrGGQGiwmqZtbUSm8ORnGaKlb-K8Mdy9F0pIGsRqDFEJPKBgFde">Statista</a>).

Webus International Announces Plans To Establish New Subsidiary In Osaka, Japan

It's good to cut expenses, but at what point does it go too far? A Redditor <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/1k1g3vz/how_to_better_prioritize_fiscal_responsibility/">bikes to work both ways</a>. It's a 15-minute commute by bicycle, but when the sidewalks are slushy, he walks an hour one way to his job.&nbsp;
On some winter days, he's freezing cold when he walks. He bought a car for himself for about $18,000, but he then immediately initiated a return after thinking about how much money it cost. Walking in the cold isn't enough for the Redditor, as he wants to reduce expenses even more.
"What else can I cut out?" he asked the Personal Finance Reddit community.

<ul>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</a></li>
<li>Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
It's good to cut costs, and the community gave him some great ideas. However, once you get a closer look at his finances, you may start to think that he's spending too little.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cheap vs. Frugal</h2>
Frugal living means you reduce expenses in a conscious way without making big hits to your quality of life. You focus on things that matter instead of the non-essentials. However, there's also cheap living, which includes cutting so many expenses that you have a lower quality of life, even when it isn't necessary.
Walking in freezing weather when you can afford a car doesn't make much sense. Yes, the original poster can afford a car. He makes about $10,000 per month after taxes and listed the following monthly expenses:
<ul>
<li>Rent: $1,150</li>
<li>Food: $500</li>
<li>"Fun": $300</li>
<li>Wife's car payment: $174</li>
<li>Wife's car insurance: $89</li>
<li>Streaming: $60</li>
</ul>
It still comes to about $7,725 per month in post-tax money that he typically invests. He has enough money to buy a car, and if he really doesn't want to buy a car, he can afford Uber and Lyft for the freezing days.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cutting On Streaming</h2>
The Redditor doesn't have many expenses that you can trim. Rent and car payments are essential, and he invests most of his money. The only caveat is that the Redditor can trim their streaming bill. You can find great movies at the library or use fewer streaming platforms.
He currently spends $60 per month on streaming, which comes to $1,200 per year. That's $24,000 over the next 20 years, and that doesn't even include inevitable price hikes that come along the way.&nbsp;
However, the Redditor seems to be at a point where it's very hard to cut any additional expenses without meaningfully reducing his quality of life. You have to spend some money to maintain a good lifestyle.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Redditor Is In A Great Position</h2>
Based on the Redditor's income and expenses, he is in a great position. Normally, people endure cold walks to work if finances are tight. However, it's okay for the Redditor to spend some extra money each month.
Cutting expenses can help if you've never looked at a budget. However, there's only so much you can cut. The best way to grow your wealth is to focus on increasing your income. There's no ceiling to how high your income can go if you learn the right skills. However, there is a firm limit on how much you can reduce your spending.&nbsp;

A Redditor Who Bikes To Work Both Ways Wants To Reduce Their Spending Even More: 'What Else Can I Cut Out?'

HOBOKEN, N.J., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4409876-1&amp;h=2019751359&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fquantumcomputinginc.com%2F&amp;a=Quantum+Computing+Inc.">Quantum Computing Inc.</a>&nbsp;("QCi" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>), an innovative, integrated photonics and quantum optics technology company, today announced that the Company has secured the sale of one of its EmuCore reservoir computers to a major automotive manufacturer. The device has since been shipped to the customer and will be used for research and development purposes.
QCi's EmuCore reservoir computing device can be applied to solve a variety of problems related to serial data structures including time series prediction and image recognition in a fast, affordable, and energy-efficient manner.
Built on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), EmuCore provides a flexible, secure, and low-power environment to leverage machine learning to explore edge use cases and validate processing workloads. This implementation serves as a proving ground for customers evaluating applications for QCi's forthcoming PCIe-based photonic reservoir computing units, which we believe will offer enhanced performance per watt for deployment in demanding AI and sensor-rich environments. This form of technology shows promising potential for AI model training, both in terms of the power consumed and the time required, opening up new possibilities for machine learning on the edge.
Dr. William McGann, Chief Executive Officer of QCi commented, "We're excited to support one of the world's leading automotive innovators with the delivery of our EmuCore reservoir computing device. This sale represents a meaningful validation of our technology in real-world environments and is yet another example of the increasing demand we're seeing for our devices and offerings in diverse markets."

With more than one-third of its revenue tied to the U.S., the company's Hong Kong IPO could face uncertainty as tariffs and overcapacity weigh on its prospects
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Newtrend's Hong Kong IPO application has been approved by China's securities regulator, even it faces pressures both at home and abroad</li>
<li>The company's heavy reliance on the U.S., which accounted for 35.2% of its revenue last year, could squeeze its profitability as it feels the effects of new tariffs</li>
</ul>
A sugar rush among Chinese artificial sweetener makers is hitting a new high as a member of the group gears up for an IPO in Hong Kong. But the building trade war between China and the U.S. is adding a sour note to that plan.
Newtrend Technology Co., one of China's biggest makers of popular sugar substitutes including glycine and sucralose,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.csrc.gov.cn/csrc/c105984/c7551562/content.shtml">received a greenlight</a>&nbsp;from China's securities regulator last week for its plan to list in Hong Kong, joining half a dozen other Chinese sweetener makers already trading publicly.
Unlike many of its Chinese peers, the company appears to be suffering less from industrial overcapacity at home, a common problem in many Chinese industries. Instead, Newtrend has avoided that by focusing on global clients – predominantly in the U.S. and Europe – which it serves through manufacturing sites in Thailand and Indonesia.
Nearly 80% of Newtrend's revenue came from overseas clients last year, with North America contributing to 41% of the total. According to trade database Volza, Newtrend's main customers include the likes of U.S. food and beverage giants Coca-Cola and Kraft.
While its overseas strategy has served the company well so far, it could soon turn into a liability as China and the U.S. get locked in a trade spat with no end in sight. That could raise questions about Newtrend's prospects, putting a damper on its valuation if and when it completes the Hong Kong listing.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Fading American dream?</h4>
Despite its base in interior Jiangxi province in the city of Jinggangshan, where Mao Zedong established his revolutionary base and is now a tourism hotspot among patriotic Chinese, Newtrend has an unusually global vision.
Seizing on a burgeoning generation of health-conscious consumers, the company, founded in 2003, leans heavily towards producing sucralose, a fifth-generation artificial sweetener, expected to be the fastest growing type of sugar substitute over the next five years, Newtrend disclosed in its&nbsp;<a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/app/sehk/2025/107131/documents/sehk25021700986.pdf">listing document</a>&nbsp;filed in February.
In 2023, global agencies including the World Health Organization declared aspartame, a third-generation artificial sweetener created in 1965 and one of the industry's most popular sugar substitutes, may cause cancer, giving Newtrend and other sucralose producers a boost.
Unlike&nbsp;Anhui Jinhe Industrial Co.&nbsp;(002597.SZ) and a handful other competitors, Newtrend is the only Chinese artificial sweetener producer to manufacture abroad, setting up its first overseas facilities in 2019. The step was quite forward-looking, aimed at avoiding getting caught in the U.S.-China trade war during the first administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
"In order to diversify the risk brought by extra duty imposed by the United States, we produced food-grade glycine in the Indonesia plant and exported our food-grade glycine to our customers in the United States from Indonesia," the company said in the filing. Still, the glycine exports from Indonesia were ultimately subject to a 4.2% anti-dumping levy by the U.S., while sucralose shipped from China to the U.S. was slapped with a similar 3.7% tax.
Now, a rapidly escalating tit-for-tat trade war between China and the U.S. is likely to deal a much larger new blow to Newtrend, which counts America as its most important overseas market.
The Trump administration raised U.S. tariffs on all Chinese imports to 145% this month, prompting China to take retaliatory measures. But more importantly for Newtrend, Trump also threatened to slap a 32% levy on goods from Indonesia and 36% on imports from Thailand. Trump later put a 90-day pause of those threatened tariffs, pressuring the two countries to negotiate trade deals with the U.S. during that time.
Sales of sucralose and edible glycine to America made up 35.2% of Newtrend's revenue last year, up sharply from just 9% in 2022. Some 41% of the company's revenue last year came from North America, up from just 9.3% in 2022, while the share for Europe declined to 20.9% in from 32.1% over that period, the firm disclosed.
Newtrend's revenue hit 761.5 million yuan ($104.3 million) in 2022, before an oversupply-induced price drop in glycine and sucralose caused sales to plunge more than 40% to 446.9 million yuan in 2023. Its revenue bounced back somewhat last year to 568.9 million yuan, though the figure was still well below the level from 2022.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Challenges at home</h4>
It remains unclear whether Newtrend's American clients will absorb some or all of the additional tariffs, which could have the effect of more than doubling prices. If not, Newtrend — which sells at higher margins abroad — may be forced to swallow some of the added costs itself and also to rely more on domestic demand. But the domestic market is hardly a friendly place, plagued by intense price wars due to overcapacity.
That means any domestic shift may be an uphill battle, putting further pressure on the company's profitability. Newtrend's gross profit margins have already declined steadily from 25.6% in 2022 to 17.9% in both 2023 and 2024, as domestic sucralose prices plunged from 386,261 yuan per ton in 2022 to 148,904 yuan per ton last year, according to its prospectus.
As its margins got squeezed, the company's profit fell to 43 million yuan last year from 45 million yuan in 2023, after tumbling from 122 million in 2022.
Newtrend's decision to pursue an IPO in Hong Kong followed an earlier unsuccessful attempt to list on the domestic A-share market in Shanghai and Shenzhen. The company scrapped that plan after facing scrutiny from Chinese securities regulators last August over frequent ownership changes and concerns that its planned projects might fail to meet environmental criteria.
Newtrend's highly concentrated ownership structure is also noteworthy, though not uncommon for a family-owned Chinese company. Founder Wang Xiaoqiang, 67, and his wife Ding Dan together own 54.8% of the company through various entities. Their son, Wang Hao, a 34-year-old Cornell University graduate, serves as managing director and leads the sales team.
Shares of established industry leader Anhui Jinhe Industrial have lost nearly half of their value since 2022, while Guilin Layn Natural Ingredients (002166.SZ), which also makes sweetener, is also down 44% from its 2022 high.
Still, both firms currently trade at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios of around 25 times and 34 times, respectively, far above the 8.6 times for Britain's&nbsp;Tate &amp; Lyle&nbsp;(TATE.L), which invented sucralose in 1976. A multiple in the middle of the range of its Chinese peers would value Newtrend at around 1.3 billion yuan. But investors would be right to worry that any sugar high following the company's listing may be short-lived due to all the uncertainties raised by the U.S.-China trade war.
