I will discuss come back later so.

Okay till the end jingle using their own townhouses, who others, who are the machines and who they are going to to.

It is fair to say you don't doesn't boxes, they tell hasn't done anything.

Hi, Alex assets shall we believed that the east West Ward and hand, the gaming content are.

As a major channel for us to generate the new year's day.

Apart from that weighs deal I, we also see that enemy assuming assay in fact, if switch why for agile part any of this as well and Oh I sat data Lizzie open platform now we recently launched yet we believe it hasnt middle and she'll outperform matter in time sounds like.

Sometimes <unk> in terms of content creation, Ana eat a rate of basis.

Yeah actually dance, if our data shows that mobile user Max a mouse retention rates stabilize that 70% and for your question regarding the Nonmobile show the mobile as a collaboration we have not his unless I kind of quarterly did a hum.

I see show with end game publisher Wisdom game developers and we have seen that then newly acquired detracted from that has been successfully converted to the mobile traffic.

Mm.

So.

Okay, Onyx I'd be happy to answer a second of questions. So actually for the company I think it we're still not to emphasize the profit gross but are still very emphasized and this do focusing on the topline growth I feel as though to EMEA gross stuff for the next two years.

That this is Phil classrooms.

Your next question is from the Jain from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Your line is open.

Oh, Hi runs Oh, that's one lots of business or what's your Okunski sounds no quarter on what do you want to kind of well you woman ill turn the song and dance that analysis Salomon, So kind of Oh Gee, what can you handle Honda.

Management system on the yen dogs, who love Oh, <unk> well docomo. Okay. That's always M. I also see Oh, hi, so so far has I know youre side too well some instances himself national no comment that.

<unk> expense and kind of weird way when <unk> wins element that comes out cost Oh does licenses, so HM selling salamone quite hard to draw attention to the other two cardio society.

With that.

Oh, no milatuzumab, okay. So sound out attempt that myself congrats on the strong quarter on my first question about content cost once you know the China, China going forward and let's say a the Chrysler extension game, Oh industry may impact so content.

<unk>.

Second delay I know Tyler there then probably some big nice Oh in coming quarters. Thank you.

Okay and play I will help to answer your questions I'll go first questions about the.

The broadcasters has a contract with us.

That's numbers reflect that seem to 4002 5000 broadcasters with us.

And the most on the almost everyone with us like those the 5.2 5000 was the exclusive contract with us and we pay them like the relatively fixed salaries alone according to data.

Complements about their <unk> all their terms with US thing that's for your first question and though for the next one we do believe that's a season because of the competition for the top typical Casas husky mouth down since the beginning of this year.

Have you seen some leverage <unk> from the cost to pay a to be pay off the two dose of broadcasters generated revenues with us. So that's why as you can see our GP margin has these likely or the or improve the in this quarter because of the language on this side I know this either because of it that with your type issue.

For your second question about the like a the impact of the from the question classroom actually was to another very clear about to their game like broadcasting strategy at this stage.

But a business frontier team Oh, so hasn't the or don't they'll have like a lot of like though the information like there movements on the signing those top tier <unk> all competing for those talking about cousins. Those we also don't see aside from these Ah angle. So that's though for the second question and the for Us.

The question about a game publishing or actually a we'd happy stopping publishing a one on a adventure game quote a a controlled in the greater China region in Hong Kong, South Asia and tie one yeah. We would have you reconsider it's a great the trial a internally and.

You know the publishing of gaming products, so well also be or where we feel optimistic on this new business and a expected that we're bringing the.

The revenue in the future, but I think that will be for the next years before this year, we're trying to running through all the process and established a publishing teams I think we have already achieve our first about go and for the next year, we're trying to do more to build up a walk in publishing pipeline for 10 to 20.

That answers for questions.

Your next question is from Daniel Chan from JP Morgan. Your line is open. Please go ahead.

Total hawk lines or I should say, hey, dollarstwenty or do you want to use acquire woman size here says Gonzales toward that I went T. Reg cells can judge or are quite culture that is it depends on so for the long ago yours.

Yes, I went out in the woman's Antidumping blends Dave in your mail some are called down to two that people from the use of course, I manage sometimes which could be on team.

Yeah, one heater sure choir woman named a finalist aboard they'd be I'm sure that went out to 52 cents. You'll know talk shows that I do you're saying look they say well she to find it or the board they'd be in the whole woman your mail kinda larger cities I.

So keeping tight you're talking to 70 last eight Honda eating out then as a showtime's aboard they've yet or sometimes the fit on a go tell me that went well maybe kind of stuff I mean, there because I think some to the yodlee.

I would translate myself or my question I have two questions first question anything related to our lower tier cities.

So we see quite so actually tried a lot of east for audience in those regions. So wondering what's our strategy. These front.

My second question is related to non gaming pellets that payment can parents. So wondering what's the revenue contribution.

For non gaming content. This quarter and are also I've seen competition from a shadow performs a essay seems quite aggressive intend to solve the pet and showed I broke Hakim organization for example, offering very high revenue share a ratio. Thank you.

Then you have whose questions actually.

We're having to see a major difference between the user behavior.

Our platform I mean between does so the tier one tier three tier force. It he uses and tier one tier twos. It uses these a demographic and the user behavior to use the attention to what kind of the content. Our platinum there's no huge difference between each project and the I seem to always to focus the.

On the operation and the continent creation, our platform in both skinny and non gaming, but we don't we do not have divided the users into like a tier 123 cities that we will have a different into your accretion strategy, but I believe I do believe that so looking forward to I think than we were trying to do something to provide a more customized.

In content.

If they have to the needs to be if they have different demands. We were trying to provide the related to content for them to help them to stay with us and to include the user engagement from a different areas from users from different areas.

For a second the question about the depend payments. So then as we discussed the as we Oh prepared remarks, we disclose that the non gaming content studio contribution to more than 40, 45% of the total revenue off the total streaming revenue in this quarter.

According to your question. So we haven't to a feeling strongly from the competition from the short video platforms in China, but the we do believe data showed a video has the advantage in user engagement and they use acquisition with relatively low cost bateau streaming is quite different approach.

Dr from the short videos and a streaming has a more like a real time interaction and a higher you. The retention how you the engagement with our core users and the core payers from this angle, we still believe that that we do have some added announcement.

This point a they so anxious for a question.

Your last question is from Alex <unk> from China or license.
