NetEase Yanxuan Commences Sales of Kweichow Moutai, China's Most Prestigious Liquor Brand

HANGZHOU, China, Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NetEase, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES; HKEX: 9999), one of China's leading internet and online game services providers, today announced that China's most prestigious liquor brand, Kweichow Moutai, is now available for sale on its e-commerce platform operated by its subsidiary NetEase Yanxuan ("Yanxuan"), marking a significant progress of a strategic partnership announced by the two companies recently.

As part of the strategic partnership, the classic 53% ABV Feitian Moutai, one of the most popular and sought-after liquors of all Kweichow Moutai's brands, can be purchased at the price of RMB1,499 (approximately US$220) on Yanxuan. To ensure end consumers can access this highly popular product, Yanxuan has adopted strict technical measures designed to prevent purchases by product resellers.

With a market value of approximately US$300 billion, Kweichow Moutai Co., Ltd. is the brand of choice for Chinese consumers. NetEase's large number of younger adult users and proven online marketing capabilities make the platform an attractive partner for Kweichow Moutai, which is proactively exploring wider opportunities among young consumers.

Following this launch of 53% ABV Feitian Moutai on Yanxuan, NetEase and Kweichow Moutai plan to pursue an even broader scope of cooperation in other business areas.
