Scope and limitsThe record rests on reporting. The letter is known from Lanjing’s reproduction of its full text; the original was not retrieved separately. The letter’s remark that the round was heavily oversubscribed (大幅超募) is its own and does not mean that more than USD 500 million was raised; the amount is recorded as stated. Lanjing names no investors, and none is recorded.

Rests on reportingNo primary source supports this record; its supporting passages come from reporting.
