On the FX, especially on in terms of.

On the coming on from a competitive.

Landscape for like two hours of Tai Chi features of.

On a Nike a first one is the social community and user interaction second and it's on our content creators I believe that on if we continue to cultivate our social community input of user interaction and continue to empower our cash.

Content creators in all aspects would be able to achieve a differentiated a.

Competitive advantage against all competitors, especially on based on our understanding of.

On and our knowledge, we believe that a lot of our competitors a fee.

The key is more on.

Content on a it's more of a community of which emphasize the user interactions and also on.

On a content creator a focused so I believe that on based on such a longtime strategy, we'd be able to have a differentiated competitive advantage in the global on industry.

Totally a weighted towards a world of the rest of them has him on a dollar.

Our total we're looking for a return on a guy of cardiologists about once of the general Djibouti emails, but do the <unk>.

Yes, Jason this is a homepage for the village of blood on a wholesale on the job you live that you're bullish on <unk>. So I'll leave the sort of ball going on.

Let's do a lesion on regarding that.

For a a watch anything on what's that going to the Ohio soon.

Since then which I mean, the phone calls, but I have a language of the highway partner on the same on the other guys yet.

Let me answer the worst of you go to a majority of all shortage of Gordon.

The causes of it.

This is David let me take your question on.

I'd love to clarify here is that.

If a look at our a quarter.

Quarterly over quarter of growth range for vehicle in RMB.

Instead of a growth rate relatively flat from a minor decrease but if you actually exclude the other.

Thanks, a lot of fluctuation and you look at it on a constant currency basis in terms of U S. Dollar a we actually accomplish a quarterly over the course of increase of 4% and year over year increase of 82%.

That actually proves the point that the.

Overseas live streaming industry.

The growing at a very fast speed.

On in terms of especially if you look at the scale of D. A.

On the revenue right now the already surpassed the 10 billion RMB.

In terms of revenue for the full year.

And on the.

That will be able to sort of feel of the role of our revenue is such a rapid speed of such a scale prudent stance on the potential of the overseas live streaming industry and also on.

And in the.

It was a.

A tradition for.

The my Kid on to believe that the U S. Users does not actually have the habit of picking on live streaming platforms well actually in the past few years the business practice with actually a witness a very strong growth in the live streaming sector in the U S market. So it's not.

A China's a specific business model it's a.

Already a.

A well established and well accepted model to monetize your users and we believe the is actually a quite a.

Not only mature, but a very user friendly business model in a way that it does not interrupt the users from.

On enjoying the use of the of these applications and it does not inc.

Corrupt the user and user experience improvement while using a thereafter, so it's actually on a.

A very good business model as compared to a lot of other monetization tools. So on if you look back on.

We launched our audio live streaming and video like Genie back in 2010, I think that on we witnessed a the growth protest on the trajectory and the pads on 10 years and we're seeing that today. It has come to a point in China, the almost all internet companies small.

And they all include the live streaming is a very essential unemployed on or even main monetization on tool. So I think that on it would be the same for U S and also the.

Other overseas countries, especially in U S on the platform such of Youtube.

The Gwen of Facebook I think it's very likely that it will all kick of monetization via live streaming on soon so it's just a matter of time and a different in terms of on on the stage of development on it.

Tween, the PRC live streaming sector and the overseas sector, we believe that.

Such evolve and we'll continue to drive the market potential of the overseas live streaming sector to even larger and also everyone will be able to conscious beach Chi the whole ecosystem in China, we have seen that even with the major of the big conglomerates entering into the live streaming sector.

It does not affect those existing players market share for their revenue scale.

On a what we thought of is that the market began to recognize a increasingly recognize on.

On the business model and the scale of the total market on a.

In Q2 increased to a new level and I think that's on and also on for the applications. It was previously mainly focused on entertainment live streaming and then throughout the development in several years, we began to see multiple applications via a live streaming.

In areas, such as Education E Commerce and also other a bunch on the application. So I think the such trend is likely to replicate in the overseas sector and we believe that would be able to on.

Hum a C.

The potential of the whole market and be able to continue to capture such market potential. Thank you.

One of the hits here.

Our next question comes from Zhang.

<unk> of America. Please go ahead.

Uh huh.

The there's all of that.

Your line now how are the ones you know.

The woman equal I'll stay on drug.

The cause at that one that thank God, there's a YY live.

The consolidated for the whole of drums on kisses shouldn't be a hammer on toward the three counties that we may or may all of you see it as a true it up on the OTC for a woman that eagle the highlight of the tolls on the.

Well, it's I thought you got a spending apply a root cause of the Halloween guys from a column on kind of RDR Union Eagle the eco margin of trying to Nokia all of the things that a mad men for taking my question can you give us more color on the use of cash on the spending plan for vehicles. So a worthy of our case and then how should we.

The two cats, the margin trend for Pico in 'twenty or 'twenty one.

Oh, Thanks for let me address those two questions first is regarding the use of proceeds we had a good cash balance right now and obviously off to a baidu is acquisition of a bargain is completed we will have additional you a sort of a coming in.

And then we will have several matters of utilize the cash.

One is obviously, we still need to organic growth.

Business, a particular given the global overseas market is much bigger potential. So we'll continue to invest in terms of sandbox sales marketing R&D, a artificial intelligence et cetera.

Secondly, we had a lumpy on a U S. All of the convertible bond outstanding.

So at the right time.

We will pay back that the convertible bonds. So that some of the one being a you asked all of the cash.

Cash usage.

Certainly as we mentioned in the prepared remarks, we are thinking about a potential the dividend or additional share buyback programs.

Albeit depending on the share price.

Of returning more value to shareholders of will keep a.

Flexible in terms of the cash usage.

We will not do big scale M&A at this stage.

So.

In general we will make sure that we generate a.

Good value for the shareholders.

Secondly in terms of the investment for Beagle.

The two parts one is people live utilized already very profitable over 20% a.

A margin profile. So I think the margin on People's lives will continue to improve.

Given that will further enhance the overseas payments.

Efficiency and then with the rapidly revenue of growth scale will achieve more operating leverage on various expenses and cost items.

For Nike the strategy going forward will be a more balanced approach, we will pay more attention to the ally.

Of the spending and focus on the key areas, where like he has a very strong a presence and we will find a way of a further monetizing the like ease of use of based.

So as a result, I think the investment of like he will also be a further.

Are there a I will say monitored according to the a lot return so in general if you combine these two together a.

The net non-GAAP net margin for the Eagle will obviously be a positive.

We said we have already achieved breakeven for two consecutive quarters. If you look at the full year 2021 of I think we will be able to achieve a cow.

And of a low single digit margin profile for people as a whole hopefully that answers your question.

Thanks, a lot of clear.

Thank you that's all the time, we have for questions I will hand back to management for closing remarks.

Thank you for joining our call and we look forward to speaking with everyone next quarter.

Yeah.

Thank you everyone.

Thank you bye bye.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen that does conclude our conference for today. Thank you for your attendance you may now disconnect.
