WeCoOwn (WCO, http://wecoown.com) is one of the leading champions of smart Co-ownership and Shared Consumption concepts and methods under our new Internet based sharing economy. WCO provides a universal listing platform for its members who are potential buyers or existing owners of any valuable properties to meet potential co-owners to purchase or co-own these valuable properties. The properties that we currently provide our members services to are mostly high priced discretionary items such as Ships, Yachts, Boats, Private Jets, Turbo Aircraft, Helicopters, Luxury Cars, RVs, Race Horses, Arts & Antiques, Single Family Homes, Office Buildings, Land Parcels, and Vacation Homes. While the fractional shares based co-ownership has been utilized in the past on a fragmented basis in various sectors around the world, no web or mobile services have been able to provide the prospective and existing co-owners with a centralized meeting place to find other co-owners together with a dedicated human concierge service or an intelligent software for the management of the co-owned properties.Through our sophisticated Blockchain and Smart Contract technologies, we provide equal proprietary software services both to large brokers and management companies that professionally manage the fractional share programs for expensive assets such as super yachts and private jets and to the Mom'n'Pop regular individual lead co-owners who have met and recruited other silent co-owners through our listing platform to own a modest speed boat, a fancy Ferrari or a Cessna aircraft together.In addition to helping our members create the primary market structures of the original legal entities to own these properties, through our broker dealer affiliates in various countries, WCO also provides the secondary market trading of the fractional shares of these legal entities in order for our members to obtain financial gains or to protect their investments in these properties of high financial value.

MuleChain is a global decentralized P2P personal delivery and temporary warehouse service managed by smart contracts on a blockchain. There are three essential parts of the business. The mules could be 1) non-professional occasional travelers working as the cross border mules, 2) local professionals conducting last mile e-commerce delivery to households, or 3) the usual local messengers for documents, couriers for parcels or even food delivery moped drivers in local cities and neighborhood communities. The mules service is kind of like a Uber for goods and freight if you will but to work for Uber, one needs to own a car. To work for himself/herself as a mule on the MuleChain platform, one only needs a subway token, a train pass or an airline ticket to compete in price with UPS, FedEx or DHL.There are also opportunities for independent individuals who can use their under-utilized living space to set up on the MuleChain platform to act as a Pack Station to earn income for themselves. The pack station business is more like an Airbnb for packages and parcels whereas to work for Airbnb, one needs to own an apartment or a house. To work for himself/herself as a pack station owner on the MuleChain platform, one only needs a rented apartment or a rented house to compete in price for offering delivery services with those centralized corporate giants.There is a transformative power of this new service to our society. Think about how many new jobs could be created globally, not just for those travelers but also for those under-privileged handicapped persons and the senior citizens. They could all become pack station owners and switch on their part-time voluntary service occasionally to generate some income for themselves while sitting at home to let requesters and mules drop off and pick-up only those small parcels, sentimental trinkets or documents out of their approved choices.

InvestorsAlly used to be the matchmaker of aspiring home owners (AHO) in the US and would-be joint property investors (JPIs) from around the world to buy and own the homes in the US together in an all equity deal using a familiar LLC structure. The homeowner would be the renter and a co-owner of the property with many other joint property investors via the new unique FARJHO (Flexible And Reversible Joint Home Ownership) LLC structure. Since as the renter and co-owner, the home occupier would have a skin in the game, joint property investors no longer have to worry about potential vacancies and paying property management fees. The ground-breaking invention of the FARJHO home ownership structure has made crowdfunding of individual home's equity possible since it would literally corporatize each home one home at a time. Link to the FARJHO flyer. https://www.box.com/s/1f2e57e6f0ac5b6738f0 InvestorsAlly currently offers the more mundane brokerage services under the dba, InvestorsAlly Realty, Yachts, Jets, Films and Fine Art (投盟地产，游艇，私人飞机，电影制片与艺品收藏) through the following divisions of conventional brokerage businesses: InvestorsAlly Realty (CA DRE #01523183), InvestorsAlly Mortgage (NMLS #397242), InvestorsAlly Yachts (California DBW#B-03423-00001-CM, Florida DBPR #YSL9218), InvestorsAlly Jet Sales & Chartering, InvestorsAlly Films & Fine Art as well as P&C and Life & Health insurance services via its affiliate PeoplesAlly Insurance Services (CA #0I49893).Please visit the following websites for those divisional businesses. http://InvestorsAllyLLC.comhttp://InvestorsAllyInc.com http://InvestorsAllyYachts.com http://Facebook.com/InvestorsAllyRealty

CoinsDex (Coins Derivatives Exchange) offers, among other services, fiat currency loans to cryptocurrency HODLers using their cryptocurrency as collateral. This could be accomplished via simple capital market derivatives transactions. It could be the OTC repos market commonly practiced on Wall Street. Put in another word it is the securities lending business that is the cornerstone of the Wall Street OTC securities trading business. Once this market has been developed on the back of the futures market, the additional main benefit is that people would finally be able to short Bitcoins and other alt coins "physicals".In the future, we may also extend the maturity beyond a few months to a few years and build a trading implied yield curve for Bitcoins and other popular alt coins. We could then offer the OTC interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and the total return swaps business under ISDA through blockchain smart contracts as well.This cryptoassets backed fiat loan lending business could also be conducted as an FX swap instead of a repo or security lending transaction. The math behind them is all the same and the market practices have simply been handled by different market participants under different regulatory jurisdictions.

A parallel sister venture of Farjao to the broader AopDex platform below is focused on the fractional ownership of artworks through an innovative new product and service called Farjao (Fractional And Rentable Joint Artworks Ownership). More detailed info and the service itself could be found at the Farjao Host web site http://farjao.com. On facilitating new acquisitions, the equity sharing nature of Farjao will help galleries broaden the pool of potential buyers due to the increased affordability it offers to the gallery's existing and prospective clients. On finding short or long term liquidity as well as new cash available for more new acquisitions, Farjao will also help existing art owners such as private collectors, foundations and even museums unlock the wealth hidden in their existing collections. Museums really do not need to own 100% of expensive paintings and sculptures such as Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso or Calder in order to hang them on their walls. The freed up capital could be used to acquire new artworks for the benefit of the communities. We are currently trying to launch this new Farjao service in different parts of the world in different languages. We currently have team members on the ground in Vancouver, Amsterdam, Berlin, Hong Kong and Los Angeles. Please feel free to let us know if you would like to join our efforts.

AopDex (Art Objects, Paintings & Derivatives Exchange) is our latest tech venture that provides consumer an online parallel derivative market to either invest in well-known artworks, to hedge existing art investments or simply to short an artist's over-priced valuation. The site is at http://aopdex.com.Anybody who has the minimum amount of money of a few thousand dollars to open an account will be able to express and opinion and take a long or short position of a well-known artist's artworks. The valuation of those high-priced artworks will for the first time be decided by the market which is composed of millions of small investors and billionaires alike, rather than by simply a small club of a handful of multi-millionaires or billionaires. The initial batch of contracts are 3, 5 and 10 year forward contracts on selective artists'​ artworks and art market indices. Among their many advantages, the one that is particularly of most interest to many art market professionals is the ability to sell short. We are doing this to disrupt a booming art market and to convert art collection to a mature financial investment market place and hence artworks could be treated as a more prudent investment asset class rather than simply a punter's market composed of only a small club of wealthy individuals as of now. With the new abilities to hedge, institutional investors such as insurance companies and pension funds will for the first time be able to invest in art market while fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities.

As capitalists for the 99%, our goal at CrowdfundersChoice.com (CFC) is to become the crowdfunder’s choice for helping entrepreneurs raise start-up equity financing and that we would like to make this new venture crowd-funded and crowd-owned in order to act as a living proof that this new crowdsourcing business model would work under free market capitalism.Our target is to get the 99% of our population to have access to entrepreneurial start-up financing on Main Street in order to keep our free enterprise capitalism alive through promoting and maintaining a more democratic version of capitalism.We plan to acquire a conventional broker dealer to provide investment banking services to entrepreneurs who may have larger financing requirements through private placements. The provisions of the recently enacted JOBS Act have made both equity crowdfunding possible and the marketing of private placement deals much more feasible for more start-up businesses to raise sufficient funding to create jobs for our country. Armed with a team of seasoned investment bankers and securities attorneys, CFC plans to take advantage of both new developments under the JOBS Act and provide entrepreneurs and jobs creators with a more comprehensive fund raising service.

Based in Beijing, Ralph as the Chief Investment Officer was responsible for and oversaw the management of 50 billion RMB of the bank's asset, both the trading book and the banking book. Ralph's portfolios included Treasury Sales and Trading, Capital Markets, Bank Asset/Liability Management and Enterprise-wide Risk Management. He was a member of the bank's Executive Committee. Ralph was among the first few foreigners to have ever attained a board level senior position in a Chinese state-owned bank at the time. Ralph designed, created and executed the first local currency RMB (CNY) - denominated IRS (Interest Rate Swap) to the domestic Chinese banking world. Due to the newly created ability to manage bank's asset and liability through these new interest rate swaps, Ralph was able to design and launch the first long term fixed rate residential mortgage offered by the bank to the entire homeowners market in China as well as the first fixed rate corporate loans for corporate borrowers in the country. Using fixed interest rates to borrow from commercial banks was finally made possible for the first time for Chinese homeowners and corporate borrowers since the introduction of the free market concepts in the 80's by a previously central planning society under the Communist government. Chinese business entities finally got to compete with American, Japanese or European companies on an equal basis at the global stage in terms of managing their own borrowing cost. Global MNCs doing business in China could hence manage their overall interest rate risks in the domestic currency RMB as well. Looking back, the creation of the fixed rate mortgages offering seems to be a very timely contribution. Chinese homeowners could now get to avoid a US style subprime mortgage crisis.

Ralph built and ran this successful Singapore-based derivatives trading/risk management and IT company in the 90’s which provided financial training, capital markets / derivatives trading, investment consultancy and banking system related services to leading banks, corporates, brokerage firms, stock exchanges, futures/options exchanges and central banks over 26 countries covering from Asia, Middle East to Eastern and Central Europe with a 4% global market share in banking systems with many awards.ARMS was the key consultant and assisted the Malaysian Government in setting up KLOFFE and MME, the main futures and options exchanges on stock indices and money markets instruments. ARMS was also a consultant to SIMEX, Taiex, Korea, Philippines and Jakarta Stock Exchanges. ARMS had a successful JV with Perwira Affin Bank based in KL where ARMS' teams of financial engineers and traders set up the IRS and FX options trading desks on a turn-key basis and developed the first IRS (interest rate swap) in Malaysia. ARMS financial training seminars extended from the original FX Options, Bond, Derivatives Trading to VaR and Bank-wide Risk Management. Its successful Asian Seminar Series eventually became a Global effort that spanned over 26 countries in Asia, ME, South America and Europe. Academically, Ralph conducted extensive research during the early days of the VaR evolution. He published two ground-breaking articles on VaR and VaR Derivatives and their pricing models. These concepts have been attempted by many banking and hedge fund professionals later on. ARMS was an early adopter of e-commerce and ARMS's company web site (http://www.armspl.com.sg) was consecutively ranked No.1 finance related web site in the world by IBM back then.ARMS' legacy has generated many prominent diaspora ex-employees, alumni and students working with leading banks and institutions in the Asia Pacific region and many other parts of the world.

Headhunted from Singapore to Hong Kong to spearhead the new structured derivatives unit in Asia. Ralph was based between the bank's both offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and covered the entire Asia Pacific region that included Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Australia and New Zealand. Built and ran the very profitable structured derivatives team. Created and executed many innovative derivatives transactions. Continued the profitable SCUD (Structured Currency Unit Deposit) business originally created and built while he was in Singapore with UBS East Asia. Structured and executed the first long term dual currency loan (USD/JPY) for some Asian airline companies (Taiwan's China Airlines etc.) that had extended the trading volatility curve for USD/JPY by the currency options trading desks from 7 years to 15 years. It became the deal of the year by a major regional banking finance magazine. This innovative structure that Ralph created back then has subsequently been copied and practiced extensively in various versions by many other banking professionals. It has made many younger generations of foreign derivatives bankers working for leading foreign banks in Asia bonus rich until today.

Headhunted from NYC to Singapore to create and build the derivatives business for banks in Asia, Ralph successfully brought the knowledge and experiences he learned from Wharton and Wall Street to many Asian emerging markets.Ralph designed, created, executed and christened the profitable SCUD (Structured Currency Unit Deposit) business for the UBS that has become the major revenue generator for the bank's FX options and treasury operations by selling them to local banks throughout Asia (Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Korea, etc.). He also initiated, designed and structured the first ever experimental Non-Deliverable Forward contract ($5 million USD/PHP between NOL and JP Morgan Singapore) that has given birth to the subsequent vibrant NDF markets in Asia. Ralph also conducted many derivatives/capital markets training seminars for many central bankers, major local bankers and leading corporate treasury professionals in the Asia Pacific region. Many of Ralph's students and clients, while middle managers at the time of training, have since moved on to become movers and shakers in their respective countries (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, etc.). These local professional acquaintances and recognitions in each country of the Asia Pacific region have since become a life-long mutually beneficial career network and proven to be a great mutual business resource.

Based in New York City, Ralph together with the team was responsible for the centralized derivatives trading operations for the entire $60 billion General Account managed by different portfolio managers. With many commission dollars to give away in his daily trading activities, every sell-side commission brokers from major investment banking houses wanted to be his best friend at the time. You would have found the relatively junior Ralph on the front row seat in US Open or in the sky box in Madison Square Garden often back then. It was a fun job, to say the least. While buy-side jobs generally do not compensate well, it was a great training ground for learning all the new tricks on Wall Street from the eager commission-based sell-side bankers.Ralph was a crucial member of a team that designed, created and launched the multi-currency funds for the firm.

Traded and made markets of currency options in major currency pairs. Chemical Bank was a major player in the currency markets in the 80's.At the start, Ralph humbly learned the trading craft as an apprentice doing daily roll-over of positions on the trading floor (and pouring coffee) for many well-known, seasoned FX options traders at the time.Currency options trading requires many of the quantitative skills, risk management capabilities and the genuine mathematical understanding of derivative pricing theories that I enjoyed the most. The experience there helped my subsequent career in Asia greatly.

Recruited right out of Wharton Business School as one of the chosen few MBA trainees to go through the most sought after sales and trading training program established by the leading white-shoe, blue-blood investment bank back in the 80's, Ralph had a great head start in building a solid foundation for his subsequent successful career in sales and trading, capital markets and derivatives business.Giving back, Ralph had brought in many high profile investment banking clients for the firm.Ralph was among the top of the training class and licensed with Nasdaq Series 7, 3, 63 and 66 to start out his sales and trading as well as investment banking career.
