It sounds like it means Yuecheng won't be available for purchase by private individuals, only businesses. Which does kind of sound like a private vocal in a way. Or at least, heavily restricted.

B2B kinda refers to when companies assist each other in some way, which is why I understand how people were confused about how it works in this case.

Shanghai Wangcheng wanted to use the B2B method to collaborate with other companies. They offer to make VOCALOIDs out of another company's existing character and by doing this, they are able to help promote the original versions' of the characters and introduce new fans to them. Likewise, the character's existing fanbase may take an interest in the VOCALOID counterpart and support them. A sort of "I help you, you help me" thing.

For now, they are collaborating with Migu Comics (for Chuchu) and NetEase Comics (for Yuecheng and Luniang).

Now it didn't really say that these vocals would be public or private. I suppose people interpetted it differently. I personally interpretted that these would be public vocals due to the context of articles and posts on the official sites and accounts.
