NEW YORK, January 2, 2018 —

Forbes reported that according to Matt Karnes of Greenwave Advisors, the CBD market is expected to reach the $3 billion mark by 2021. Currently, 15 states that allow CBD only – this is in addition to the 28 states plus DC that have legalized medical cannabis. A report by Research and Markets explains that one of the major drivers for this market is Health benefits of CBD oil. Cannabis-based CBD products have a relatively high content of THC compared with hemp-derived CBD products. As a result, cannabis-based CBD products can be used only when they are prescribed by doctors for medical purposes. CBD oil products have several benefits, and as a result the demand for CBD oil has increased over the years. Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX), CV Sciences, Inc.

The Research and Markets report indicates the big role Ecommerce is expected to play in the legal cannabis market. According to the report, “the latest trend gaining momentum in the market is Growing influence of online retailing. The increasing popularity of e-commerce businesses worldwide has provided vendors with an opportunity to enhance their profit margins and revenues. E-commerce accounted for nearly 12% of the global retail trade in 2016. Online and e-commerce channels support both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) operations.”

Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) just earlier today announced breaking news that today provides a post-holiday update on CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd.’s Yantai 1985 baijui sales. ChineseInvestors.com, Inc.’s wholly owned foreign enterprise, CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd. has partnered with a proven leader in the Chinese baijiu market, China GuiZhou HanTai Wine, Inc., and based on its initial marketing campaign, anticipates revenues of 12,000,000 CNY, or $1,800,000 USD in 2018. Baijiu is a Chinese liquor made from grains or rice. Baijiu is about 104 proof (52% alcohol).

Earlier this month, the Company rolled out a digital ad campaign on Today’s Headlines, a popular and fast growing mobile app in China with over 600 million users. Online users were directed to the Company’s call center to purchase Yantai 1985. After two weeks of advertising verification, traffic debugging, click amplification, conversion improvement and other tests, sales stabilized in the third week of December. As of December 29th, the campaign generated revenues of 189,655 CNY, or over $29,000 USD, in just a week. Based on these results, we expect monthly sales to reach 758,600 CNY, or over $116,000 USD, and annual sales to reach 9,000,000 CNY, or $1,350,000 USD. In addition, the Company plans to open another account on Today’s Headlines to replicate this model.

According to Summer Yun, CEO of CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd., “CBD Biotech is entering a new phase in the development of its online distribution model. The marketing-to-revenue ratio for the initial sales campaign on Today’s Headlines was quite favorable; therefore, CBD Biotechnology intends to significantly increase its advertising budget in 2018 to maximize revenue through this channel.”

“With healthy revenue projections from baijiu sales in China, continued growth of its hemp-infused skincare line, the recently announced spin off of CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd. and Chinesehempoil.com, Inc., and the expansion of the Company’s core financial education business to include cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, CIIX looks forward to delivering significant value to our shareholders in 2018,” stated Warren Wang, ChineseInvestors.com, Inc.’s CEO.
