1.Combination of futures and spot cargo:
Methanol, iron ore, copper and some other bulk commodities that have been listed on the China’s domestic futures exchange market. The company will use the combined futures and spot cargo model for hedging to avoid the risks of price fluctuation while also combining a favorable futures and spot cargo structure to do arbitrage to achieve profits.

2. Long-term contracts:
In order to maintain a stable business relationship with upstream and downstream channels, the company also conducts business by signing annual long-term contracts. The biggest advantage of long-term contracts is to maintain a stable supply of goods, and at the same time, the company can use long-term contracts to make timely deployment which can make the daily business operation more flexible. At present, methanol and butanol are operated in the long term-contract mode, and the combination of futures and long-term contracts are the core business models of Shanghai Bixi Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd.

3. Supply Chain Management:
Thanks to the company's rich upstream and downstream channel resources, the company takes advantage of its supply chain management to carry out arbitrage. For example, arbitrage between upstream and downstream products (butanol and DOP), arbitrage between geographic regions (mainland and port), arbitrage between internal and external markets (foreign and domestic), etc. Through rich channel resources, it makes the company's profit models more abundant and flexible.

4. Distribution:
Playing the role of a link between upstream and downstream, the company has stable cooperation with all major logistics companies. In terms of business model, downstream customers can choose to pick up the cargo themselves or delivered by Shanghai Bixi Supply Chain Management Co. For customers who cannot pick up themselves, the company can deliver the cargo to the customer’s factory which greatly reduces the pressure on customers.
