In the wave of digital transformation, data has become one of the most valuable assets for enterprises. Recently, Beijing Longan (Guangzhou) Law Firm has successfully helped Guangzhou Jiancai Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. and Zhuozhi Technology Group complete the milestone process of recording their data assets based on the Global Data Source Center, thanks to its expertise in data compliance and asset management. These cases were reported by South China Metropolis Daily, and they are defined as “the first enterprises to record their data assets using digital economy public infrastructure.”

1. Significance of the Case: Opening a New Chapter in Data Assets The establishment of the Global Data Source Center has provided new ideas and models for the circulation of data elements, equity distribution, industrial ecosystem openness, and digital governance innovation. This successful case by Beijing Longan (Guangzhou) Law Firm not only brought substantial value and benefits to Guangzhou Jiancai Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. and Zhuozhi Technology Group, but also laid the foundation for further data product transactions. By including data assets in financial statements, it helps enterprises better understand their data asset status, enabling them to obtain higher valuation and more financing opportunities in the capital market.
