This letter is in response to the letter dated August 23, 2019, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) addressed to Global Internet of People, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, or “our”). For ease of reference, we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. A registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) is being submitted to accompany this letter.

1.We note your disclosure on page 38 that “[i]n utilizing the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering, we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, establish new PRC subsidiaries and make capital contributions to these new PRC subsidiaries, or make loans to our PRC subsidiary.” However, your disclosure in the “Use of Proceeds” section does not indicate that you intend to establish new PRC subsidiaries to accomplish the uses of proceeds disclosed. Please revise for consistency, or tell us why this section does not include disclosure that you intend to establish new PRC subsidiaries. See Item 504 of Regulation S-K.

2.We note your response to comment 6 and your amended disclosure that existing Diamond members who participated in activities in fiscal year 2018 “accounted for $2,539,440 of the increase in [revenue from member services, and] there were 162 newly developed Diamond members in the fiscal year 2018, which accounted for $1,794,877 of the increase.” However, these two sums do not add to the total increase in revenues from member services you disclose, i.e. $4,181,452. Please revise for consistency, or tell us why the sum of the increases attributable to new and existing Diamond members is more than the total increase in revenue from member services for fiscal 2018.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that:

 

The Company and the non-controlling shareholders set up subsidiaries GMB Culture, GMB Linking and GMB Consulting in 2017, and GMB(Beijing) in 2018. Pursuant to the subscription agreements, the Company holds 51%, and the non-controlling shareholders hold 49% of the equity interests in each of the four subsidiaries, in accordance with their respective capital subscriptions to be paid at any time before the end of each of the respective subscription periods, which are June 15, 2033, December 6, 2037, December 31, 2037 and December 31, 2028.

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Company made the capital contributions of $74,730, $193,812 and $9,436 to GMB(Beijing), GMB Culture, and GMB Linking, respectively; and the non-controlling shareholders made the capital contributions of $57,701, $60,689 and $8,739 to GMB(Beijing), GMB Culture, and GMB Linking, respectively.
