Harley is for greeting visitors and guided sales, first in Hisense stores and then in hotels, venues and tourism sites. The materials present Harley under the Hisense brand rather than naming Hisense Visual Technology specifically.",

   "funding_note": "Hisense Visual Technology (SSE: 600060, formerly Hisense Electric) is a Shanghai-listed company, incorporated 1997-04-17 per its company file on CFI, and a listed subsidiary of Hisense Group. Funding basis is therefore IPO gross proceeds plus later share placements. No page I opened from the company, the exchange or reputable press gave its 1997 A-share IPO gross proceeds or its later rights issues and private placement. A data page (basic.10jqka.com.cn/600060/capital.html) lists net proceeds only, in mis-encoded text: 1997 IPO CNY 426m, 1998 rights CNY 282m, 2001 rights CNY 943m, 2009 placement CNY 1.5bn. These are excluded as unverified net figures, so funding_usd is left empty. No separate funding for the robot line was disclosed. Valuation is market capitalisation of USD 5.37bn as of November 2026 (companiesmarketcap.com).",
