Sabah saleswoman hits RM20.9m jackpot with 18 random car plate numbers
She had placed a System Play bet using random car registration numbers from her neighbourhood.
'I did not have any specific numbers to buy, so I just took the car registration numbers from vehicles parked in my neighbourhood and I accumulated 18 sets of numbers to bet on a System Play ticket because 18 is the luckiest number during Chinese New Year,' she said.
She only checked the results on the first day of Chinese New Year and was overwhelmed by the win.
'This big ang pow was definitely the best thing that could happen in my life,' she added. She plans to share her winnings with family and invest wisely.
The second winner, a 57-year-old designer from Selangor, took home RM2.2 million with an i-System 20 ticket. He credited a customer service assistant for advising him to bet on a Special Draw day, which ultimately led to his jackpot win.
'I must thank the customer service assistant who advised me to bet on a Special Draw day if not I would have missed the opportunity,' he said.
The numbers he played were ones he had been betting on for years. He plans to buy a house for his daughter and save the rest for retirement.

Trump's hand against Beijing is getting weaker as Chinese exports to the U.S. tank 34% year over year
President Trump's tariff strategy was based on the belief that China, heavily reliant on the U.S. market, would absorb higher export costs and be forced to negotiate. However, recent data shows Chinese exports to the U.S. have sharply declined as China diversifies to other markets, undermining Trump's leverage and casting uncertainty over the future of U.S.-China trade relations despite a temporary truce. When President Trump announced his tariff regime, he said China would have to 'absorb' the increases to export prices and would be forced to the negotiating table to agree to new trading terms. After all, he reasoned, China is reliant on the U.S. as its greatest export market and would have to reshape its entire economy if it didn't agree to a deal. So, despite wanting to rebalance trade with economic partners, Trump's strong hand relied somewhat on the notion that Chinese businesses needed to keep selling to U.S. companies and consumers. But as negotiations rumble on and evolve, that foundation has shifted. Data released Monday reveals Chinese exports to the U.S. fell by more than 34% in May 2025 when compared year on year. Exports to the U.S. also dropped a little over 20% in April, signaling a conscious shift away from the reliable U.S. consumer toward other markets. These new pockets of potential for Chinese exporters include Africa, where exports were up more than 30% in May year over year, and Canada, where exports are up 20% in May compared with the same month last year, per analysis from FX and international payments specialists Convera. The diversification away from the U.S. for Chinese exporters could be interpreted as undermining Trump's seat at the negotiating table in Beijing, said Convera's lead FX and macro strategist, George Vessey. He tells Fortune: 'I think the data may be seen as undermining Trump's position and ability to hurt China. Still, given the disinflationary impact this is expected to have on other countries, it raises the risk of the trade war escalating elsewhere with other countries forced to impose their own tariffs on China. 'There was already growing evidence that China is successfully diversifying its trade relations, becoming less dependent on the U.S. as the destination of its manufactured goods. The share of the U.S. in overall Chinese exports has fallen from around 23% at the beginning of the century to 16%.' He also provided a caveat to the data, saying: 'It's worth noting that Chinese exports to the U.S. always fall around the Chinese New Year (generally February) but usually rebound strongly by now. This year, the post–Chinese New Year rebound simply hasn't happened. Although there was a surge in U.S. imports in Q1, nearly all came from Europe rather than from China.' The data may have come at a convenient time for Chinese officials, who are meeting with Trump aides to discuss a deal in London. To recap, currently the tit-for-tat trade war between Beijing and Washington, D.C., has entered something of a truce, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announcing a 90-day pause in May. Both sides agreed to lower their rates by 115%, meaning Bejing faces a 30% tariff and the U.S. faces a 10% tariff. As officials met in the U.K. this week, analysts had hoped for some further evidence about what an eventual deal would look like. Instead, they received a reiteration of the truce already announced and a framework with little detail about future proceedings. President Trump said that a deal was 'done,' pending sign-off from President Xi. Rare earth magnets would be 'upfront' in the agreement, he added, leading some to speculate that the U.S. had agreed to commitments such as letting Chinese students into its universities. As Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid wrote in a note sent to Fortune this morning: 'Overall, this left a sense that the two sides had reestablished the trade truce that was signaled in Geneva last month, but with the path forward towards any genuine trade normalization still unclear.' Vessey chimes: 'Trade talks between major economies remain pivotal, shaping inflation and global market dynamics. We've heard some positive developments over the past week, but until there's more clarity, investor sentiment may pivot back to macro drivers.' This story was originally featured on

Uxin Reports Unaudited Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025
BEIJING, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Uxin Limited ("Uxin" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: UXIN), China's leading used car retailer, today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 Transaction volume was 8,264 units for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of 12.4% from 9,439 units in the last quarter and an increase of 103.6% from 4,058 units in the same period last year. Retail transaction volume was 7,545 units, a decrease of 11.8% from 8,554 units in the last quarter and an increase of 141.5% from 3,124 units in the same period last year. Total revenues were RMB504.2 million (US$69.5 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of 15.5% from RMB596.8 million in the last quarter and an increase of 58.0% from RMB319.2 million in the same period last year. Gross margin was 7.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with 7.0% in the last quarter and 6.6% in the same period last year. Loss from operations was RMB35.3 million (US$4.9 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with RMB73.4 million in the last quarter and RMB109.8 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA[1] was a loss of RMB8.9 million (US$1.2 million), compared with a gain of RMB2.0 million in the last quarter and a loss of RMB39.7 million in the same period last year. [1] This is a non-GAAP measure. We believe non-GAAP measures help investors and users of our financial information understand the effect of adjusting items on our selected reported results and provide alternate measurements of our performance, both in the current period and across periods. See our Financial Supplement, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 6-K on June 12, 2025 with the SEC, "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP And Non-GAAP Results" for a reconciliation and additional information on non-GAAP measures. Mr. Kun Dai, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Uxin, commented, "we once again delivered strong performance in the first quarter of 2025, achieving retail vehicle transaction volume of 7,545 units, representing a 142% year-over-year increase, despite the temporary impact of the Chinese New Year holiday. Our inventory structure remained healthy with turnover days around 30, and our industry-leading NPS (net promoter score) of 65 underscores the strength of our customer experience. Additionally, our newly launched superstore in Wuhan began trial operations during the quarter, with both inventory and sales ramping up rapidly. As we continue to expand our footprint and scale our operations, we expect our retail transaction volume in the second quarter to exceed 10,000 units, setting a new record for Uxin." Mr. Feng Lin, Chief Financial Officer of Uxin, stated, "despite the seasonal slowdown during the Chinese New Year in the quarter, we continued to improve our financial performance with retail revenue reaching RMB466 million, a 73% year-over-year increase. Gross margin also expanded by 40 basis points year-over-year to 7%,and remained consistent with the prior quarter. Importantly, we maintained our commitment to disciplined cost management and further enhancement in operational efficiency. While we incurred some upfront expenses associated with the launch of our new superstore in Wuhan, our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed significantly to RMB8.9 million, representing a 78% year-over-year reduction. As our new superstore scales and sales volume at existing locations continues to grow, we remain confident in our trajectory toward sustainable growth and improved profitability." Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 Total revenues were RMB504.2 million (US$69.5 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of 15.5% from RMB596.8 million in the last quarter and an increase of 58.0% from RMB319.2 million in the same period last year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the decrease in retail vehicle sales revenue. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increase in retail vehicle sales revenue. Retail vehicle sales revenue was RMB465.5 million (US$64.2 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 15.8% from RMB553.1 million in the last quarter and an increase of 72.8% from RMB269.4 million in the same period last year. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, retail transaction volume was 7,545 units, a decrease of 11.8% from 8,554 units last quarter and an increase of 141.5% from 3,124 units in the same period last year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in retail vehicle sales revenue was mainly due to the decrease in retail transaction volume resulting from seasonality. The Chinese New Year holiday lasted from January 28 to February 4, 2025, which is the traditional used car off-season. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increase in retail transaction volume by 141.5% while partially offset by the decline of retail average selling price. Wholesale vehicle sales revenue was RMB22.5 million (US$3.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with RMB25.5 million in the last quarter and RMB39.7 million in the same period last year. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, wholesale transaction volume was 719 units, representing a decrease of 18.8% from 885 units last quarter and a decrease of 23.0% from 934 units in the same period last year. Wholesale vehicle sales refer to vehicles purchased by the Company from individuals that do not meet the Company's retail standards and are subsequently sold through online and offline channels. Other revenue was RMB16.2 million (US$2.2 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with RMB18.2 million in the last quarter and RMB10.1 million in the same period last year. Cost of revenues was RMB468.9 million (US$64.6 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with RMB554.9 million in the last quarter and RMB298.1 million in the same period last year. Gross margin was 7.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with 7.0% in the last quarter and 6.6% in the same period last year. The Company's gross margin remained stable quarter-over-quarter. The year-over-year increase in gross margin was mainly due to the increase in our value-added services penetration rate, which generally have higher gross profit margin. Total operating expenses were RMB82.5 million (US$11.4 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Total operating expenses excluding the impact of share-based compensation were RMB72.7 million. Sales and marketing expenses were RMB61.7 million (US$8.5 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of 0.1% from RMB61.8 million in the last quarter and an increase of 21.4% from RMB50.8 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increased salaries for the sales teams. General and administrative expenses were RMB18.3 million (US$2.5 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 73.6% from RMB69.3 million in the last quarter and a decrease of 75.7% from RMB75.3 million in the same period last year. The decreases were mainly due to the impact of share-based compensation expenses. Research and development expenses were RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of 21.0% from RMB2.4 million in the last quarter and a decrease of 51.9% from RMB6.0 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to a decrease of the salaries and benefits expenses of employees engaged in research and development. Other operating income, net was RMB11.9 million (US$1.6 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with RMB18.1 million for the last quarter and RMB0.9 million in the same period last year. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was mainly due to the decline of proceeds from government grant. The year-over-year increase was mainly due to the increase in liability waiver gain. Loss from operations was RMB35.3 million (US$4.9 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with RMB73.4 million in the last quarter and RMB109.8 million in the same period last year. Interest expenses were RMB22.5 million (US$3.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of 2.0% from RMB22.1 million in the last quarter and a decrease of 6% from RMB24.0 million in the same period last year. Net loss from operations was net loss of RMB51.4 million (US$7.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with net loss of RMB90.3 million in the last quarter and net loss of RMB142.7 million in the same period last year. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was a loss of RMB8.9 million (US$1.2 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with a gain of RMB2.0 million in the last quarter and a loss of RMB39.7 million in the same period last year. Liquidity The Company has incurred net losses since inception. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred net loss of RMB51.4 million and operating cash outflow of RMB24.4 million, and the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately RMB373.5 million and the Company had accumulated deficit in the amount of RMB19.6 billion as of March 31, 2025. Based on the Company's liquidity assessment, which considers the management's plan to address these adverse conditions and events including growing its vehicle sales revenue by increasing the sales volume, improving the gross profit margin by increasing the value-added services offered to its customers, maintaining vehicle turnover rate by managing reasonable vehicle prices, and raising funds from planned equity and debt financings, and also adjusting its operation scale if and when necessary, the Company believes that it is probable to effectively implement these plans and accordingly, its current cash and cash equivalents which included funds from the equity financings completed during the first quarter of 2025, funds from the planned equity and debt financings and the cash flows from operations are sufficient for the Company to meet its anticipated working capital requirements and other capital commitments and the Company will be able to meet its payment obligations when liabilities that fall due within the next twelve months from the date of this release. Business Outlook For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company expects its retail transaction volume to range between 10,000 units and 10,500 units. The Company estimates that its total revenues including retail vehicle sales revenue, wholesale vehicle sales revenue and other revenue to range between RMB630 million and RMB660 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses certain non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss from operations per share – basic and diluted, as supplemental measures to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding share-based compensation, foreign exchange (losses)/gain, other income/(expenses), structure realignment cost which was mainly severance cost and equity in income of affiliates. The Company defines adjusted net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share – basic and diluted as net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share excluding impact of share-based compensation, deemed dividend to preferred shareholders due to triggering of a down round feature and accretion on redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measures facilitate investors' assessment of its operating performance as this measure excludes certain finance or non-cash items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations. The Company believe that excluding these items enables us to evaluate our performance period-over-period more effectively and relative to our competitors. The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using Adjusted EBITDA is that it does not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation, other income/(expenses) and foreign exchange (losses)/gain have been and may continue to be incurred in the business. Further, the non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance. The Company encourages you to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure. Reconciliations of Uxin's non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure are included at the end of this press release.

Tsai talks, Alibaba regroups around open-source AI
-- Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA) is working to reestablish its leadership within China's tech sector, turning to artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure as key pillars of its strategy. Chairman Joe Tsai has signaled a more focused direction after a period marked by regulatory challenges, market pressures, and internal overreach. Speaking at the VivaTech conference in Paris, Tsai acknowledged past missteps while outlining a course correction. 'I think I saw a company that kind of lost its direction a little bit. I think we have expanded too big,' he said, referencing his return to active leadership in mid-2023. A notable inflection point came earlier this year when AI startup DeepSeek launched a new reasoning model that caught major players off guard. 'We read the research papers and we said, 'Holy cow, how come we have fallen behind? We were doing the same things,'' Tsai said, describing how the event prompted an accelerated internal response. As Chinese New Year approached, Alibaba engineers were directed to stay on-site and increase their development pace. 'Our engineering lead decided and said, 'Cancel your Chinese New Year holiday, everybody stay in the company, sleep in the office, we're gonna accelerate our development,'' Tsai said. That sprint led to new releases in the Qwen model series, now among the top open-source LLMs globally. For Alibaba, the episode reinforced the need to operate with urgency and tighter alignment between research and deployment. The company has committed more than 380 billion yuan ($53 billion) over the next three years to expand its AI infrastructure and improve training and inference capabilities tied to Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba's strategy hinges on supporting open-source model development while driving commercial demand for cloud services. By making core models available to developers, the company aims to build ecosystem momentum while leveraging its backend infrastructure as a commercial gateway. Although broader macroeconomic conditions remain a challenge inside China, Alibaba's approach reflects a move to consolidate around core strengths rather than seek expansion for its own sake. The recent AI efforts suggest management is focused on rebuilding competitive positioning with a clearer set of priorities. By pairing scale with more deliberate execution, Alibaba is positioning itself for the next phase of China's tech evolution. The landscape remains highly competitive, but the company appears better equipped to respond than in prior cycles. Alibaba stock is down 1.2% today, as of 12:50 ET.
