I will quickly translate myself. So, could management share more color in the current strategies on merchandising capabilities especially with regards to those self-owned brands and JV brands? Thanks.

Shanglue Xiao

Management

Okay. Our commodity supply chain has more than contributed by the connection with B end consumers and our member consumers. So, we’re going to see in that where labor force and resources in the development of the private label and the joint venture brand. And so for the products high in margin and high in the repurchase rate, we’re going to do promote more private label in the healthcare and in cosmetic and in food. And then for the medium level margin and the medium level repurchase rates product, we’re going to do cooperate with some publicly traded company to do more joint venture brands. And then for one of the joint venture brands, we promoted ATM, it’s called the [indiscernible] Act and then it has been quite popular among the consumers and the repurchase rate has been 50%. And today, we just launched a new product that is called Yunji ID Facial Cream and GMV for today has reached RMB1 million. And also, we can see such partnership model has been quite popular among our upstream partners like those JV brands and the private labels. And also it able to promote the values for our members because they are longing for those products; good in price and high in quality. And also it will generate more values for our service managers because they also want to promote such popular products in high quality and also they would like to increase their income. And also, we can see the partnership within the China high-quality manufacturing companies and the mainstream consumer product companies will be the main strategy for our supply chain. That’s for your questions. Thank you.
