And can you kind of a target this year. Thank you.

Thank you Allison this is parents and for your first question about the guidance.

We revised the guidance on the enterprise SaaS solutions, mainly because we see channel demand is stronger than before in the market and secondly, we also believe that some of the case that we run right now with Biogen and some of the standardized products that we're launching to the market properly.

Start to kick in some numbers starting from June so maybe.

Sometimes earlier than our original budgets that low.

And maybe kicking in from the second half. So that's why we are weighted.

And more like the kind of you know.

Okay.

Hi, Thomas just with parents and let me add on your gross profit margin questions. Firstly about our key accounts, we are still spending at relatively high margins and the 60% to 65% gross profit margin and on standardized products, we actually believed that it would be.

Well. Thank you for your question and I will first take the question about the advertising outlook.

Yes, we've seen the recovery of advertising EBIT this year and many industries have to see.

And their advertising budget getting closer to the normal level.

This is largely due to the fact that from pandemic is under control in both China and the rest of the world.

And his team.

<unk> and hospitality.

And they will see retaliatory recovery and <unk>.

And the other hand from agencies are subject to adverse impact from regulation.

Online education and there are also some 1 time events for example, the RPC I think al Cochran incident has negatively affected the advertising spending of apparel and this team.

If you look at marketing and business also I click you'd see.

That's from.

The revenue contributions from our different industrial clients.

Alan.

And and therefore, our marketing solution business I think has been and joining our household growth and this is in line with our strategy that is to focus on steady and healthy growth and.

In addition, this for marketing solution business.

And to focus more and developing the tail and empty and related business.

In conclusion in 2020, the overall advertising industry will enjoy healthy recovery and our IC mm mm marketing.

Solution business were also growth definitely.

Okay and to the second part of your question about the apples.

Apple's IBSA policy and.

And as far as I understand this policy has had limited impact on the and.

Marketing solutions business.

And there are several reasons.

And I'll also has limited impact on the advertising industry and business and that's a real reason and fact based.

Gross market share and China is a small and for our marketing solution business, our exposure to Apple is around 10%. So very limited and the second is this policy with newly launched so it may take I'll take some time first to see whether the customer.

While our pouch format, because it will require the upgrading of the cell phone and upgrading of operating systems and operating upgrading of the App free all take time and this is up from hardware perspective.

And also from industry perspective, the advertising or marketing industry is also actively exploring alternatives around these policy.

And and as far as we understand the AD placement via IV F and is that just around 10% and this is very limited and therefore, we think that the idea of a policy of Apple has had limited impact on us and so when I think of serving our customers.

At current stage, we rely very heavily on first party data provided by customers and centered on CDP platform, and which actually will depend on the logins day status of abuses and so this is my answer to your question.
