BEIJING, April 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ucommune

leading agile office space manager and provider in China, today announced that it is the provider

March 30, 2021.
In 2019, New Oriental signed a lease with the Company for over
200 workstations to establish its business in Jinan. Ucommune's fast-paced, high-end, and
cost-effective business venues enabled New Oriental to expand
rapidly in the region. As such, New Oriental further expanded its

July 2020. Expanding on its success
over the last two years, New Oriental launched its new offline
education program at the Company's Jinan News Building office space

heart of Jinan's commercial
district just one block away from Shandong Normal University and
adjacent to Greentown Jinan Center, Jinan's metropolitan landmark building. With
the entry of New Oriental, China's
largest provider of private educational services, and the abundance
of local educational resources, Ucommune's Jinan News Building
office has created a unique education-focused community that
promotes the development and prosperity of the local community.
Jinan New Oriental University's head of business department
commented, "Ucommune provides us with a convenient and worry-free
environment where we can fully focus on operating our business. As
opposed to concerning ourselves with property logistics in a
traditional office setting, we can quickly get approval for venue
access while getting additional support with publicity and
marketing. Furthermore, the all-inclusive cost structure helps us
save utilities and internet costs. We look forward to deepening our
relationship with Ucommune as we continue to explore more
collaborative opportunities."
Dr. Daqing Mao, Founder of
Ucommune, commented, "One of our core values is to provide a new
style of work space that allows greater interaction between our
community members to help spark innovation. We remain committed to
our mission of cultivating this new working culture anchored in the
four foundations of sharing, innovation, responsibility, and
success for all. Our partnership with New Oriental in Jinan is special in that it not only fosters
such an environment within our building, but also promotes the
development of talent and prosperity in the local community."
