Your next question is from the line the usual go above sea ice DC. Please go ahead.

Oh, hey on not only Nicole thanks for that opportunity.

So so 'cause it cannot clearly we have seeing and tends to affect competition in the past summer and there seems to be a deceleration this quarter. So could you maybe share your.

SKU by a were also want to keep them what color about it.

He left from perspective, I think how to reduce the cost to Oh to acquire one new customer actually was always a top challenger to us.

And where NOL our company, who is water experience the marketing themselves.

And wait a little bit went behind the beginning by without a catch up so by pieces of work to kind of.

Come over which keep looking so much confidence they they could do even better than today.

On the other sites were also a little bit lock is because I'd Acacia is a worry.

No I appreciate intensive industry I have a when there were a try to students contrail rustler online online classes, that's not over that's only the beginning so you know are coming that they feel tons.

And that's what went wrong offline business more importantly, the grocery must be achieve Harrison and sustainable way.

Oh, we have lessened loans and waiting to be more balance and we need to improve operational efficiency and looking and looking for we'll continue to leverage for the whole like offered to attract more students get more market share <unk> enrollment.

So looking into looking tool are coming quarters, all online way public and see how enrollment growth continues to be quite healthy revenue growth, maybe a little bit.

Lower than that.

Enrollment growth and you know coming quarter is because the contribution limits quite a bit.

Students ASP is lower than a private school students all off this number is only one core this numbers I think we talk about where a lot we need to be.

This view these sectors in three years time. So we're still strongly believe this potential and we will continue to improve our investments in research and development side. It's another Stanford aside to make sure that much more product portfolios to offer students waking hopper.

Hi management, congratulations on a very strong results I want ask for our next quarter I think that revenue guidance is around a five cents a heads up consensus expectation so.

Hi management, congratulations on a very strong results I want ask for our next quarter I think that revenue guidance is around a five cents a heads up consensus expectation so.

Well, we know what is that because affect her to beat for online or offline.

Thank you Mark.

Into first place I should have no idea or waste the consensus for the online or offline revenue gross.

Separately, so in our common subsided, we only give revenue guidance in a quarter level I think oh assumption, if we compare quarter over quarter in chose SREC compelled to Q2, I think Q2 with grow around 8% I chose three our guidance 45% to 48%.

I think most the big the biggest difference coming from the Peiyou small class business. We have seen their growth rate is interest rate is higher than Q2. We're also seeing the appeal online is also fast growing.

While two quarters actually they are close to 200% rather gross and we became fully see with HEICO. So we're continuing to coming quarters.

And there are Shaw's online school is also growing.

Is going on China Us we'll expect.

And pop considering their high grossing though in first quarter second quarters with don't see any differences quarter over quarter and their most important kind of contributes over the coming from the appeal of coffins.

Well the sales and marketing I think if I can see this summer with running.

Oil and Penn and looking closer at Newport, and we're also running a online promotion competitors.

Oil and Penn and looking closer at Newport, and we're also running a online promotion competitors.

Oil and Penn and looking closer at Newport, and we're also running a online promotion competitors.

Oh and compared to last year.

Same quarter thing sorry last year actually we don't run that much. So this quarter's sales and marketing bottom line kill shred. It is higher than last and then then.

Same quarter thing sorry last year actually we don't run that much. So this quarter's sales and marketing bottom line kill shred. It is higher than last and then then.

The same quarter last year, so which will give us some kind of pressures Muslims pad.

The same quarter last year, so which will give us some kind of pressures Muslims pad.

The same quarter last year, so which will give us some kind of pressures Muslims pad.

Sure.

And a bike we put everything you know what your severe or your PERC and see that this year to online will be lossmaking position, Bob will be slightly lower loss, making position, but we don't foresee any huge loss over there and since we still have one quarter is to grow especially in Q4. So.

But but based on why not today, we don't see any huge price we need to keep that central guys.

And running our online business, it's not easy or maybe nothing is easy way I mean why high target.

So we will make we'll make sure both online and offline gross can be Harris and sustainable way that are key priority since mark.

Thank you. My next question is from the line of Jim Jones of Morgan Stanley . Please go ahead.

Thank you. My next question is from the line of Jim Jones of Morgan Stanley . Please go ahead.

Oh, thank for taking my question I Love you mentioned a lot about done regulation has picking in Oh. Please call. So can you keep that some more updates the regulation now and whether it will impact youre offline and online both going forward.

Oh, thank for taking my question I Love you mentioned a lot about done regulation has picking in Oh. Please call. So can you keep that some more updates the regulation now and whether it will impact youre offline and online both going forward.

And secondly, I want to ask.

Have a follow up on the Oh my business.

Can you keep us some some breakdown on the Oh My Oh my students from tier one tier two cities and know what do you see teach so and then what's your strategy too.

Okay Johnson I think for the regulations. The offline regulations is almost he pays for more than one years. So fresh speaking our company have experience a tough time, how to be more Vince kind of new policies and regulations now so I can say today, that's perfect Buck.

Two weeks ago.

Yes.

On September 13, together with other target date hated be pacman, China Ministry of Education adult Coleman regarding potent general guidance Alpha how cidade de bad all night occasion industry in China, the the documents continuously illustrated and provide.

The policy level of this upon to China alone I do patient next step on the long term demand.

As one of the leading online education 10 years, they're very happy to see and even welcome the allied location regulations as always.

We'll do our best to support and work with the whole industry and the government to keep improving the all night occasion, Florida technologies and services.

We believe that with the government so parts technology advancements and industry I've heard the online education will benefit more and more students you, especially the kids, who happens to lower key geographic areas.

I have to say butting up today I.

I think there's enrollments coming from lower tier cities actually all the you know must come from the places we don't have a trust to networks actually I think the contributions steel.

Everything to be costs went online offerings can be 70, actually which is more popular in the high cure.

Sure about your children cost as a place where we are here, we'll have to shoot presence would have brendans, where with everything and the students and as soon as parents you've done a tier one.

And but looking forward that since you would need to buy a worry effective way how to penetrate that shows ranch or fall, even much lower tier cities now.

Objections, and we're also pilots self destruction seeing sounds like it's because based on a small pilots would run today stop as making progress on up it doesn't work.

So based because were important topic for US Hall, we can potentially low pure.

So based because were important topic for US Hall, we can potentially low pure.

So based because were important topic for US Hall, we can potentially low pure.

And Oh, we can rely on the same way of doing on him oxygen to penetrate that okay. So this would need much great creative and innovative ways to do so I don't have probably offices now when we were still doing a lot of pilots now, but what we can say as you know show by show.

Uhhuh.

Women's we'd have I'll spend a lot of people that there were also were open to see why screen gurus allergy industry. In other sectors were also are open to hear all investors over their friends, who has some new ideas stupid. So please feel free to that no oh, well figure all the best way to do that and both weekend balance and the call.

It's all new customer acquisition in the profitability of the lifetime value. So were killed guys postage if were making more progress. Thank you.

Thank you.

Next in line is actually you have Chinese Oems Anderson. Please go ahead.

Yes.

Hi, Thanks, Thanks officer, and so forth for looking at this opportunity.

Just on a very high level I'll now, there's a lot of the new players.

So the market for online besides or whether this means just one of your thoughts on does a lot of this means the entry barrier that you're in that sense is lower compared to before simply because we have the all my model right.

Company in general will be conducting user acquisition.

Every single years going forward. Thanks.

I think in the first fit let's compare to numbers.

For the offline.

Education companies in China, I think more than half million.

More or less while the only on payers CMBS market, you're probably not a lot of men spot below 100.

So half million compared to 100 would probably can see actually look up the competition into a better actually is quite different from before.

The second pace you.

The only model so a life like forecasting and the <unk> recorded combined model.

Oh, My God occasion doesn't mean, we're using the internet always use that knowledge is to move for the open in classrooms to own and that's it.

For example hall to students do a pretty saudis haul students the answer their questions Holifield official homework hauler students can a base on a statistic, let's say it just takes off data through their learnings and then right way to do so.

The only model today, we meet you continue to invest and can you give others to measure the only modeling Sarah has more kind of entered Belarus compared to the other one.

Because spend a few or time last time, but they have must be all kinds of this will lead to kind of their intelligent lending you love culture, which has a lot.

Kind off the tech, both technical and operational or kind of challenge so last.

So if we are sitting here with doing nothing with only investments and waste Josh used to be still call. Okay to go models to try to replicate the whole country I think desktops and that's not the right thing to do so competition will be even more fierce because you'll catch on all making progress so we way out why.

We don't believe the competition today is the most important problem to us because the only penetration rate versus the total students. Even today is very low given all of my growth is faster by the penetration rate is quite low so what we need to struggle is actually is.

We don't believe the competition today is the most important problem to us because the only penetration rate versus the total students. Even today is very low given all of my growth is faster by the penetration rate is quite low so what we need to struggle is actually is.

Our school to senior high the punish penetration of it will be higher higher.

Across the market with PARP would probably wouldn't see multiple players play in English markets.

You know still them spotted the multiple players can offer you guys look past experiences and much competitive all in a much affordable price I think that school workers sort of students and parents and so today, where do you feel most of the progress we think over setup for us most.

Challenges and most some states we've made because our success not because of competition. So a way, we'll make sure our off our leaders and all of our people can be highly connected choice you. It as Thomas do this and being there teach us be their friends to know what their pinpoints I think that it's that the reduction.

Oh, we have to go how we can use of any investments collage attribute to to relieve the province and improve the efficiency I think that's the direction to go. Thank you.

[noise] [noise] no operator.

Yeah.
