Furthermore, the school will train the installers and technical staff. The reputation of PINGO and the strength of the brand has attracted the attention of independent designers in their markets. PINGO boasts that at present they have 1000 designers recommending and selling their products and services. With this opportunity, AURI will introduce home decor products, including home furnishings, wall art and other home decor and accessories, to the PINGO network of home decoration centers, interior designers and individual customers. AURI will have the exclusive relationship with PINGO to operate Pingo Home Centers offering complete packages of home decor products. Together PINGO and AURI will capitalize and operate these stores on a 50/50 basis. A flagship PINGO Home Decor Expo Center will be opened during the first half of 2015. The demand for Western home decor designs and products is very strong among the 25 to 40 year old age group. Vendors are lining up to participate in this opportunity AURI executives will be attending the High Point Furniture Market, in High Point North Carolina to discuss specific product needs by category with industry leaders. In addition, the various art acquisitions which AURI has made will be a key component to drive sales and revenue from the assets and publishing rights owned by the company.

The expressed goal of PINGO and AURI is to develop over the next 10 years, 2000 home decoration design centers in China and additional 400 PINGO Home Decor Expo Centers.

The super wealthy in China are looking for the very best in designer goods, and home furnishings is a key market sector which is currently underserved in China particularly in cities that are way form the major centers of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen/Hong Kong.

PINGO has a proven track record over the past three years with their platform showing steady growth and profit. The Liang family has a history of success inside of China having built the Huarun paint & coatings (Huarun Paints Holding Co.) and the Huarun brand to become the leading paint supplier in China. Huarun Paint was acquired in 2006 by Valspar. AURI is privileged to establish this strategic relationship with PINGO. Mr. Weinert has known Jon Liang for over 10 years having traded in wall decor items with the subsidiary company Huarun Decor.
