<div id="readability-page-1"><div> , /PRNewswire/ -- Quhuo Limited (NASDAQ: QH) (&#34;Quhuo&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;), a leading gig economy platform focusing on local community-centered services in China, today announced that its subsidiary, Lailai Information Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (&#34;Lailai&#34;), specializing in hotel and home services, has entered into a collaboration with the &#34;Better Life No.1 Collective Fund Trust Plan&#34; managed by China Foreign Economy and Trade Trust Co., Ltd. (&#34;FOTIC&#34;), a Chinese trust company, by providing housing upgrades and end-to-end asset management for the underlying properties, aiming to support the growth of high-quality rental services. Quhuo expects that this project will generate over RMB 10 million in additional monthly revenue for Lailai by the end of 2025, adding new growth momentum to Quhuo's overall performance. In recent years, the long-term rental apartment market has faced an oversupply of homogeneous products and intensifying competition. The industry has gradually shifted from the early stage of rapid expansion to a phase of &#34;refined operations.&#34; In response to this trend, Lailai has adopted a standardized and digitalized management system, aiming to deliver tailored upgrades and services for rental properties and enhance both living quality and overall competitiveness. This collaboration is being supported by FOTIC. Through its &#34;Better Life No.1 Collective Fund Trust Plan,&#34; FOTIC provides a sustainable mechanism to advance standardized and large-scale development focused on the housing rental sector. In this project, Lailai, as an asset manager, not only oversees end-to-end rental property management but also plays a critical role in improving housing quality. Its services cover regular cleaning, facility maintenance, property upgrades, and ongoing operations, ensuring rental units remain in good conditions. Lailai also focuses on enhancing landlord returns and improving tenant experience and aims to transform more properties into high-quality long-term rentals, which help landlords secure more stable, attractive returns while providing tenants with a more comfortable and satisfying living experience. Lailai leverages its refined operational expertise and digital capabilities in the local life services sector to ensure efficiency and service quality. Through its self-developed digital dispatch and task-splitting system, workflows are broken into standardized work packages with real-time visibility and clear accountability. In funding and settlement, Lailai's direct payment mechanism links work orders, labor hours, and compensation in real time, ensuring payments go directly to workers. This approach reduces intermediaries, prevents wage arrears, motivates workers, and supports on-time, high-quality service delivery across the full property life cycle. The collaboration aims to establish a &#34;Growth System for Service Providers&#34; and promote the &#34;High-Quality Housing&#34; standard in the rental market. For the industry, such standardized asset management helps enhance property value and returns; for Lailai, this project expands its business from cleaning and home services to renovation and asset management; and for tenants, this project aims to provide a higher-quality and more transparent rental experience. Haizhou Luo, Head of Lailai, said, &#34;Through our asset management services, we aim to extend our standardized and digital capabilities into the rental process, creating win-win value for landlords, tenants, and service providers.&#34; Leslie Yu, CEO of Quhuo, stated, &#34;With FOTIC's strong support, we believe Quhuo's expansion in local life services is firmly backed. Lailai's exploration in asset management will deliver more efficient rental services and open new opportunities for Quhuo's diversified growth.&#34; About Quhuo Limited Quhuo Limited (NASDAQ: QH) (&#34;Quhuo&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;) is a leading gig economy platform focusing on local life services inChina.
