Petrol station-driven smart solutions developer Shaanxi Winner Media Co., Ltd has raised $14 million in a strategic investment led by state-owned oil and gas giant China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC).
The round also saw the participation of its existing investor Detong Capital.
Earlier in July 2018, Detong Capital had backed Winner’s $14 million funding round along with other investors such as Shaanxi Culture Industry Investment Group.
Set up in 2010, Winner operates internet platforms to provide smart solutions for petrol stations. It offers services such as online payment, navigation, and insurance, among others.
As of April 2020, Winner claims to have catered to over 20,000 petrol stations and built partnerships with more than 1,000 companies across finance, insurance, telecommunication, and internet marketing.
Winner will allocate the proceeds to upgrade its technical service system, enhance management capacity, advance operation service and revamp user-friendly experience.
Going forward, Winner also plans to innovate smart petrol stations and develop its cloud-based online payment platforms for the energy industry.
CNPC manages 413 billion yuan ($58 billion) in assets under management. Its oil and energy products are exported to over 30 countries.
