Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen!

At Fan-Mei Aviation Technologies, we feel extremely honored and privileged to become the exclusive dealer for Piper in the greater China region.

Our company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fan-Mei Education Investment Group, the largest privately owned aviation training institution in China, with more than 40,000students in the areas of flight attendant training, aviation mechanics training, airport management, aviation security and so on.

In the past two years Fan-Mei Group has been investing heavily in pilot training and in general aviation, because we feel that GA industry in China will experience an explosive growth much sooner than most people think.

In order to lead in this market with enormous potential, we must prepare ourselves, and there are no better aircraft for training and short haul air taxi than Piper Archer, Seminole, Seneca and M-class, and most importantly for Fan-Mei, there is no better partner in Piper with its prestige and 81 years of success in the aviation industry.

On behalf of Mr. Wei, our Chairman at Fan-Mei Group's, I would like to again thank Simon and his team for the opportunity to represent Piper in China and look forward to a long and successful partnership with Piper!
