TULSA, OK - May 19, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Ladybug Resource Group, Inc. ("Ladybug" or the "Company") (OTC ID: LBRG) is pleased to highlight the leadership of Mr. Shicai Li, the Chief Executive Officer of its recently acquired Guangzhou JingDiao assets. With nearly two decades of experience in high-end automotive manufacturing, Mr. Li's background in elite production methodologies serves as the foundation for the Company's competitive edge in the Global Electric Vehicle supply chain. **The "Triple-Crown" of Global Manufacturing Excellence**Mr. Li's management philosophy was forged within the world's most disciplined industrial environments: Toyota, Honda, and Panasonic. This unique "Triple-Crown" pedigree ensures that the Company's operations meet the rigorous standards required by Global OEMs. Toyota Foundation: Beginning his career at a premier Toyota subsidiary, Mr. Li mastered the Toyota Production System (TPS), gaining deep expertise in human resource optimization and operational efficiency. Panasonic Discipline: During his tenure at Panasonic, Mr. Li was selected for exclusive executive training at the corporate headquarters in Japan, where he focused on the integration of high-tech manufacturing and organizational management. Honda Innovation: At Honda, Mr. Li oversaw production management and was recognized with multiple accolades, including the Honda Professional Fixture Innovation Award and the Honda Safety Leadership Award. He is also a certified practitioner of the Kepner-Tregoe (KT) Method, a world-renowned systematic process for strategic decision-making used by NASA and Fortune 500 companies. **Translating Lean Wisdom into Digital Code**Since founding JingDiao in 2016, Mr. Li has successfully transitioned traditional lean manufacturing into the digital age. By developing a proprietary Manufacturing Execution System (MES), he has effectively "coded" the analog wisdom of Japanese production management into a scalable AI-driven platform. This allows Ladybug Resource Group, Inc. to deliver precision components and production line retrofitting to EV leaders with unmatched transparency and speed. **A Commitment to Global Compliance and ESG**Under Mr. Li's leadership, the JingDiao assets have secured rare and stringent environmental certifications for automated painting lines. As a certified ISO 9001 Internal Quality System Auditor, Mr. Li has ensured that the Company's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) roadmap aligns perfectly with the sustainability requirements of US and European automakers. **Management Commentary**"Manufacturing excellence is not just about machines; it is about the systems that govern them," said Mr. Shicai Li.

Our goal is to provide the global EV industry with a supply chain partner that is as innovative as it is reliable, leveraging the US capital markets to scale this vision globally." **About Ladybug Resource Group, Inc.**Ladybug Resource Group, Inc. is a US-listed company focused on the intersection of advanced manufacturing and industrial AI.
