And the China housing policies, Amy and promote housing for leaving about force of regulation by the preventing the financial <unk> risk.

And from the Roes and the market place and later Mariner and <unk>.

Policies and so in Chinese and Waco, just at the phone and throughput each home.

Stable relative to the market.

And to stay below the gross margin is beneficial for the simple, Nevada and for Baker and industrial as a whole the sofa.

Our policy and we sold to slow for multiple from our heating by using a relatively mild for reclamation and be implemented targeted by us to provide the most severe reprobation matters and a greater market penetration and devote.

As part of the long term economy and to maintain and attractive housing market. It has been this day.

It also comes from most of the volatility of the real estate market and federal will open team and the path and the competitive landscape more modest capacity quality and efficiency and create a favorable environment for pay for other core industry.

From our observation the reason the housing policy and have known.

And significant ultra black and.

Impact on international real estate and the transaction momentum non.

And Bronx, and significantly tenders and overall market price over the transactional volume since the policy in the immediate from some over 50 cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai.

Housing is still necessary and.

And relative to demand from China, So, let's talk about the Shenzhen.

All of our.

Incremental revenue was mainly come from all of our newly collects connected platform business. So shinta and is a star city of paper and its market share and profile most.

70% interest on the 18th when we launched April 29, and 2020, let's do come and low single digits.

Percentage of pay for total GGP and 2020, so we'd like to say is present and we don't have.

Centralization problem for specificity and the bakery is a platform company.

And our national wide platform disciple to mitigate the downside ratio deterioration from any particular cities.

And also for Shanghai, and the Shanghai is the market Youre sitting home sales market in China with the market housing stock over too many.

Recently, <unk> in Shanghai, and now that straw and stringent towards the impact on the transaction volume and the price will be relatively modest.

For your fourth question regarding.

And some competition, yet we do not and there's some peers that into society. So normally we don't comment on other peers fulfillment, but rightly, but the two things of our research and differed bakehouse IPO has used Paris, and many people and there will be more players and the capitals step into.

Step into this barrier and allowing us to further enhance our capability for Peter.

Neither of the industrial Internet and distinct deeply about our strategy.

Take care of clients and how platform participant to take effective tariff of clients.

Regarding the marketing conditions are right.

And we say has arrived and is there are still some competition amongst investors.

And somewhat and the digital world for most Shlomo and Archie and Kim.

EOG tightened and Zika and that begins with and basketball.

So my question was filed and our pricing strategy.

Is that the reason we pay for us gradually.

For the secondary home transaction conditional wait for 3% and some cities. So I was wondering and number wise and how many cities have they started to adopt for the 3% Commission rate and second is.

In each city, how do we differentiate the pricing our in house and asphalt and mobile.

And that goes down.

The third one is are we going to further expand the Cooper standard price into more cities in China, and how should we look at the Sycamore home Commission take rate and the rest up per year.

And a related question is do we have done and plan to increase the commission rate and new home transactions and EMEA future. Thank you very much.

Okay. Thank you tissue.

So let me address your question so for our commission rate for this new home actually all we want to.

We want to clarify for level Commission rate.

Actually with practice of service quality and et cetera, and.

Efficient for.

The market for these two new home dialysis market and with the full competition and balanced supply and demand.

Bump market.

Right and commission without being justified by service and quality of transaction efficiency.

And like a water, which I'll touch force tree, which on the route in other words, just muscle and bone.

As a neutral market our platform while activity is for bilateral commission model.

Total two filings to financial burden between buyers and sellers, while striving to improve our service quality commitment and hard reach and ability to add new customers with strong purchasing power and Europe too.

Multiple local branch for example, and power.

So the basis for it.

The basic infrastructure.

Struggled bakeries community centers on that work so to balance our.

And home under the new home sales and of our crucial and.

And we.

We encourage all of our agent and to take heart in the commodity services, and the local and better and surgical and better on the build up for long term commitments on the professional <unk>.

And it continues to improve.

It's quality efficiency and offers the most of the countries. So if you look at our take rate for our existing home sales in past three years. So this is still a modest increase for our pulp pirate brands for the NGL and possible units a commission rate from Q.

You too.

Three eight and the last year and $2 for and for our franchise per unlock yoyo.

And the commission rate.

And in a very.

Range so.

Right.

And its problems and.

And it's changed from two <unk> percent and.

And 199%.

And last year is two 2% and for <unk> 98 per.

Brandon.

In bed for platform for 278 brands. So we can reach to take rate to have a modest increase from one nine to $1 92, and the last series of two <unk>.

<unk>, 7% so inclusion.

For already seen home.

Commission rates, we expect a steady growth in both the day and job and our Canadian stores.

And your next question comes from the line of Steven <unk> from Morgan Stanley and Steven Your line is now open.

Oh go ahead and send them a house as you just said what does he went and how well the one disappointing and stemming from and Dana T cell <unk> syndrome, Glenn and Samsung.

And in light of T cell channel, you know somebody and put on.

The default not what did you find any thought about a simple management for taking my question. My question is related to the sales efficiency improvement for the coming back to stores.

Previously you mentioned that on a core basis, the third party stores improved GDP per stores by wants present and 26% in their first and second year, respectively. On the platform. So just wondering.

And if there is any difference for the stores that joined let her in second Hollywood and 19 or first half of 'twenty in terms of a sales improvement trend that you have observed so far thanks.

Okay. Thank you.

And actually.

We'd like to see in 2020.

Conduct most of and 47.

For the installs and the 493000 agents and our <unk> year over year.

I mentioned, just now you're crystal and 64, 5% amongst the incremental facts, we always understood potent zone, where our operating system and based on AUC and the.

And the agent corporates network to promote healthy platform development zone to prevent.

And for breach of competition, so the eco system and governance, so intrinsic to index, reaching peak for price for more than 81, 5% listing actually come from the stores and the most of the 75 per cent.

Star transaction and most of the 36 per.

For some of these cross brand.

Collaboration so as a consequence.

So if you look at our number just total deficiency, namely for I knew Ptv per store in 2020, just is that the total number of the big picture for our per ton brand of <unk> year over year interest for 'twenty, one, 2% and for our contract for end of year over.

The increased 18, 7% for our flagship brand impact for platform.

And we are the efficiency increased by 17, 2% just a big picture if you look at the cost base.

For her base day or efficiency year over year increase.

Just over 26%.

Thank you.

Thank you it's very clear.

Thank you so much.

Revenue for the first.

Corporate expense between tier one will be reached 18 five to $19 5 billion RMB. So we cannot give a very detailed number for the Q1 and <unk>.
