Home Furnishing Listed Companies Are Trying to Turn Around with AI and Semiconductors

marsbitPublished on 2026-08-06Last updated on 2026-08-06

Abstract

Chinese home furnishing listed companies are increasingly turning to AI and semiconductor cross-border ventures to revive their fortunes amid declining core businesses. A prominent example is PVC flooring giant **Elegant Home Furnishing**, whose stock price skyrocketed with 10 consecutive trading limits after announcing a plan to acquire a majority stake in **Ou Kang Nuo**, a semiconductor storage testing equipment and services company. Despite Elegant Home's own financial struggles—including recent losses and tight cash flow—the acquisition, funded through asset sales and loans, has dramatically boosted its market value. The deal involves a cross-shareholding structure with Ou Kang Nuo's controlling shareholder. This trend is widespread. Over the past year, numerous home furnishing firms with stagnant main operations have seen their stock prices surge after announcing moves into hot sectors like AI, semiconductors, or computing power. Key cases include: * **Markor Home Furnishings** ("high-end home furnishing first share"), after years of heavy losses, acquired an AI server high-speed copper cable company and later introduced AI computing power investors. * **Zhenai Meijia** ("blanket king") became the first A-listed manufacturer controlled by an AI large model company following a takeover. * **Fasilon** (integrated ceiling) saw its stock soar after establishing an AI subsidiary. * **Jinlong Decoration** experienced multiple trading limits after being linked to "c...

Another home furnishing listed company's stock price has skyrocketed due to a cross-border venture into semiconductors.

On August 6, PVC flooring giant Elysium Home Furnishings resumed trading with another daily limit-up, marking its 10th consecutive daily limit-up. Wind data shows that from July 21 to August 6, the company's stock price has surged by 159.31% cumulatively.

This struggling flooring company achieved a turnaround solely through a cross-border capital operation.

On the evening of July 20, Elysium Home Furnishings announced that it had signed an "Equity Acquisition Intent Agreement" with shareholders Zhao Ming, Tong Shujuan, Anhui Mingde Zhonghe, and Anhui Zhonghe of OCONOR, intending to acquire no less than 77.08% of OCONOR's equity with cash and make it a controlling subsidiary.

OCONOR is mainly engaged in storage testing equipment and related testing services. Its product series include GA300, SW400, MS200, and ES100, covering test scenarios such as SSD modules, DDR modules, storage chips, and embedded memory. It boasts a complete solution centered on system-level testing (SLT) while also providing professional testing services.

This acquisition involves many clever transaction details: Elysium Home Furnishings acquires OCONOR, while OCONOR's actual controller Zhao Ming simultaneously acquires 20% of Elysium Home Furnishings' shares. You buy me, I buy you, a two-way binding. Additionally, OCONOR has made a performance commitment: cumulative non-GAAP net profit over four years shall be no less than 230 million yuan.

The key question is: where does Elysium Home Furnishings' acquisition funding come from?

The announcement shows that the acquisition funds will come from the company's own funds and self-raised funds through methods such as disposing of idle assets (valued at approximately 200 million to 300 million yuan), bank loans, and loans from major shareholders.

Currently, Elysium Home Furnishings does not have much cash on its books.

According to its Q1 2026 report, Elysium Home Furnishings had only 259 million yuan in cash and cash equivalents on its books, while short-term interest-bearing debt reached 277 million yuan. The acquisition requires 500 million yuan.

The reason for the limited cash on hand is that Elysium Home Furnishings' "flooring business" has long been in the red.

In 2025, the company's revenue and net profit attributable to shareholders both declined, with net profit attributable to shareholders plummeting 87.6% year-on-year to 17.17 million yuan. Entering 2026, losses continued to widen, with a loss of 14.82 million yuan in Q1 and a projected loss for the first half of the year increasing to 34.5 million to 40.5 million yuan.

However, Elysium Home Furnishings did not persist in returning to its core business. Instead, it set its sights on cross-border mergers and acquisitions, which have yielded positive effects so far—its stock price has soared, with nine consecutive daily limit-ups, and its market capitalization skyrocketed from 2.3 billion to 5.46 billion yuan. As of the close on August 6, its total market capitalization had increased to 6 billion yuan.

Elysium Home Furnishings is not an isolated case.

Over the past year or more, home furnishing listed companies have collectively staged a drama of "cross-border survival." The script is almost identical: sluggish growth in the core business leads to targeting AI, semiconductor, or computing power concepts. Once announced, stock prices soar.

Once the "first stock in high-end home furnishings," Markor Home Furnishings, accumulated losses exceeding 3.7 billion yuan over four years. At the end of 2025, the company announced the acquisition of 100% equity in AI server high-speed copper cable company Wandetai Optoelectronics. After resuming trading, its stock price surged continuously. Subsequently, it also introduced AI computing power industry investors to participate in its restructuring.

The Yiwu "Blanket King," Zhenai Meijia, saw AI unicorn Tanji Technology acquire 44.99% of its shares through "agreement transfer + tender offer" for approximately 1.8 billion yuan in Q4 2025, making it the first A-share manufacturing company controlled by an AI large model company. Its stock price immediately hit consecutive daily limit-ups.

Integrated ceiling giant Fasilon announced in September 2025 that it would invest 250 million yuan to establish an AI subsidiary, leading to eight consecutive daily gains and a rise of over 380% within a year. The company, with only 900 million yuan in assets, supported a market capitalization of nearly 9 billion yuan.

Home decoration leader Gold Mantis, after associating itself with "commercial aerospace" and "AI computing power," secured 11 daily limit-ups in 15 trading days, with a cumulative increase of 136.8%. However, the company clarified that the related business accounts for less than 1% of its total.

Preliminary statistics show that in 2025, over 20 A-share listed companies announced cross-border ventures into the semiconductor sector, with home furnishing and building materials companies accounting for the highest proportion. The downturn in the real estate industry, stagnation in core business growth, and continuous profit shrinkage have forced these companies to flock to popular sectors, attempting to turn around with trending concepts.

The ultimate outcome of countless cross-border speculation cases is consistent: the concept fades, the bubble bursts, and the stock price returns to fundamentals. For example, Gold Mantis' stock price quickly retreated after market sentiment cooled. As of the close on August 6, its stock price had been halved from its peak.

This is also the case with Elysium Home Furnishings this time. A letter of intent for acquisition that has not yet led to a formal agreement; the company has repeatedly issued announcements warning that "the formal agreement has not been signed and there is uncertainty." How can fundamentals showing a half-year loss exceeding 40 million yuan support a market capitalization of 6 billion yuan?

Home furnishing companies continue to cross borders and ride hype waves, more out of helpless survival tactics amid slowing core business.

The downturn in real estate, shrinking overseas demand, and tariff impacts have continuously lowered the ceiling for traditional home furnishing manufacturing. Rather than competing fiercely in a red ocean, it seems better to embrace a cutting-edge concept, let the stock price rise, and allow major shareholders to find more possibilities within it.

However, after the狂欢狂欢 (carnival), someone always has to be left behind.

World Chain Implements EIP-7928 Ahead of Mainnet Launch

World Chain announces it will implement full block access lists on August 17, becoming the first production Layer 2 (L2) network to transmit EIP-7928 access list data within each flash block. This update is a key step in scaling blockchain throughput without increasing hardware demands for independent validators. The implementation allows validators to verify transactions in parallel during block formation, supporting throughputs up to 1 gigagas per second. Block Access Lists (BALs) provide a record of the state read and written by each transaction, enabling independent transactions to be verified simultaneously across multiple CPU cores. World Chain extends the EIP-7928 specification by streaming access list data every 200 milliseconds via its flashblock architecture. This lets validators begin verification as blocks are assembled, reducing latency and distributing the verification workload. While EIP-7928's full deployment on Ethereum is planned for the future Glamsterdam upgrade, World Chain is implementing it via a runtime flag, allowing node operators to update without a coordinated network hard fork. Internal tests on World Chain networks showed stable verification latency even with throughput surges reaching 1 gigagas per second on standard cloud infrastructure. This suggests blockchain networks can scale throughput significantly without a proportional increase in the computational power required for chain validation. This launch marks the first production implementation of streaming EIP-7928 block access lists, contributing to Ethereum's broader scaling roadmap by improving performance while maintaining accessibility for independent validators.

Canadian Users Account for 25% of Losses Related to Coldcard Vulnerability

Canadian Bitcoin users suffered the highest losses, accounting for 25% of the total, from a vulnerability affecting the Coldcard hardware wallet, a situation analysts link to the strong local presence of its parent company Coinkite headquartered in Toronto. Australia followed with 15-20% of losses, while the US and Thailand accounted for 10-15%. Though the exploit hit English-speaking and early Bitcoin-adopting regions hardest, global impact was seen across Western Europe, Latin America, and key African crypto hubs. The total stolen assets reached $116 million. Galaxy Research identified a March 2021 firmware update—specifically the faulty implementation of a new random number generator (RNG)—as the single point of failure. A configuration error rendered the hardware RNG inactive, silently defaulting to a weaker software-based one, which generated private keys with low entropy for over five years before an attacker stole $70 million from 1,200 wallets in 41 minutes. In response, security experts urged manufacturers to eliminate backup RNG mechanisms in production and strictly adhere to validation standards like NIST FIPS 140-3. For incident response, immediate user communication and clear mitigation steps were prioritized alongside rigorous patch testing. For users with compromised seed phrases, a strict protocol was recommended: purchase a new reputable hardware wallet, generate a new seed offline, verify it with a test transaction, transfer all funds to the new setup, *then* attempt to update the original device's firmware. Experts also advised diversifying risk by using hardware wallets from different manufacturers to avoid a single point of failure. The incident sparked a fundamental debate about self-custody security models. Critics argue that offline storage alone isn't foolproof, highlighting that trust is always delegated to third parties, like wallet manufacturers. The consensus is shifting towards multi-vendor setups and mandatory baseline standards like multi-signature or Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallets. The goal is to move from "trusting one device" to ensuring no single compromised component or entity can move funds, distributing trust across independent organizational and technological failure domains.

Report: Warsh Prepared to Raise Interest Rates in September if Inflation Data Remains Strong in Coming Weeks

Report: Fed Chair Walsh Prepared to Hike Rates in September If Upcoming Inflation Data Stays Strong According to a Financial Times report, Federal Reserve Chair Walsh is prepared to raise interest rates at the September policy meeting if inflation data in the coming weeks remains hot and market expectations for a hike increase. Following this news, short-term US Treasury yields rose. Walsh has adhered to a pared-back communication strategy despite recent market volatility and criticism that his limited guidance has weakened the Fed's inflation-fighting credibility. Sources close to his thinking acknowledge some communication missteps since he took office but insist these won't derail his overall reform agenda. His most significant policy shift has been drastically reducing forward guidance, a practice he has long criticized for boxing in policymakers. Futures markets now price in roughly a 55% chance of a 25-basis-point rate increase in September. Sources indicate that while Walsh has raised the possibility of using balance sheet reduction to tighten policy, interest rates remain the primary tool for now. The Fed's preferred inflation gauge was at 3.7% in June. Walsh is expected to deliver his first major speech at the upcoming Jackson Hole symposium, seen as a key opportunity to clarify his policy framework and address perceived shortcomings in his messaging.

Chainalysis: Robbery of Crypto Investors Using a 'Soldering Iron' Nets $30 Million in Half a Year

According to a report from Chainalysis, criminals have stolen over $30 million from cryptocurrency investors through violent physical attacks, known as "wrench attacks," in the first half of 2026. This puts the year on track to surpass the record $58 million stolen via such methods in all of 2025. There were 46 documented violent incidents globally by the end of June, up from 40 in the same period of 2025. These attacks, which include kidnappings, home invasions, and hostage-taking, increasingly threaten the personal safety of crypto holders and their families. Only about 26% of these attacks resulted in a ransom being paid, a significant drop from a 49% success rate in 2025. Chainalysis notes the true scale of the problem is likely underreported. The criminals often identify targets in advance through data leaks, social media, or insider information before using low-skilled enforcers for the physical assault. France is a major hotspot, with 30 publicly known incidents by mid-2026, compared to 19 in all of 2025. French authorities have reported over 70 cases, suggesting the real number is even higher. A suspected leak of taxpayer data from the French tax service and a separate breach at crypto tax firm Waltio are considered key factors enabling criminals to find targets. Stolen funds are moved using various methods, from direct transfers to centralized exchanges to more sophisticated techniques involving blockchain bridges, decentralized exchanges, and money-mixing services. The report highlights a lack of a unified industry methodology for tracking these incidents, as evidenced by a different count (52 cases) from analytics firm CertiK for the same period.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms. This funding success validates Ondo Finance's innovative approach to creating compliant, institutional-grade tokenised products. In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications.
