(Kuangshi International) is the first Chinese auction house to land on the A-share capital market and the third largest auction company for cultural relics and artworks in China. Relying on its headquarters in Beijing, through the expansion of branches in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Japan, North America and other regions, Kuangshi International is gradually building a cultural relics and artwork auction operation system covering the core region of the Asia-Pacific region, involving Chinese calligraphy and painting, porcelain and jade treasures, modern and contemporary art, contemporary handicrafts, jewelry and other fields.
As an influential celebrity in the field of culture and a top expert in the cultural relics industry, Mr. Dong Guoqiang, the founder and chairman of Kuang Shi International, has been committed to exploring the cultural value of auctions and innovating the business philosophy of cultural auctions. Under his leadership, Kuang Shi International has brought together a number of senior experts in the auction field and a professional marketing and marketing planning team, and established a huge customer database. Today, Kuangshi is not only a leading enterprise in the field of art trading, but also a well-known brand with great influence in the field of culture.
In 2016, Kuang Shi International achieved a record annual turnover of 5.2 billion yuan, and many lots set new auction records for artists. In the same year, Hongtu Hi-Tech, a subsidiary of Sanpower Group, acquired Kuangshi International. With the help of the superior resources of Hongtu Hi-Tech and the triplet system, Kuangshi International aims to build the future layout of the "Internet culture" auction industry, actively explore Internet auctions and popular art consumption, actively connect with the original financial business of the parent company, and provide new cultural transaction application scenarios for the group's innovative financial development.

By the end of 2017, Kuangshi International had held more than 400 auctions, with a total turnover of more than 30 billion yuan. For example, "Guoyunlou" Tibetan rare books, Jiang Tingxi's "Hundred Kinds of Peony Spectrum", Wu Zhen's "Mountain Window Listening to the Rain", Yuan's "Chongzhen Wanshou Palace Ruihe Poetry and Volume", Bada Shanren's "Imitation of Ni Landscape", "Song People's Imitation of Guo Zhongshu's Four Hunting and Riding Pictures" and many other rare treasures have been auctioned through Kuang Shi.
Guided by cultural values, Kuangshi International's corporate culture has created a positive cultural atmosphere, shared value orientation and operating philosophy through combing, condensing, deepening and improving, ensuring the success of Kuangshi in the past. With a strong professional team, good reputation and extensive social popularity, Kuang Shi International has now become one of the world's first-class art auction companies. Leading the future, Kuangshi International will not only serve as a brand banner of the industry, but also gradually become the vane of international cultural relics and artworks auctions.
