Thank you your final question.

TJ on your questions covered two parks and marketing solutions and enterprise solutions and I will take the first question about market.

Overall speaking in the first half hour advertising business delivered a good performance with revenue growing by 20%.

You can look at the Chinese market. Indeed, there were some industry.

And the team, that's where it's actually markedly teams such as the K talk online education and he gave me and the pandemic has brought more uncertainty to the economic outlook and therefore, the advertising business was affected and in the second quarter, you would see that the impact was limited in the third quarter the impact is.

Pleased to grow bigger so they are indeed, uncertainties in the market, but you know our advertising business cover a lot of the industry and in addition to those tactfully regulated once we also have traditional industries, such as consumables FMC G household chemicals, luxuries, which enjoy healthy growth.

So and in addition, our advertising business such achieved economies of scale and with the steady growth in its revenues, we've seen adjusted EBIDTA and adjusted net income increasing sadly therefore for the second half hour management will focus more on the potential implications of the.

Uncertainty in the market and we will be more cautious in developing our advertising business and with more focus on risk management cash flow management, so as to ensure a steady profitability and in spite of all the negative.

Impact as our CFO returns have mentioned we maintained.

Okay, just a kid yourself later on in the Delaware.

Okay as to your second question about enterprise solution also.

For two parts first is the young key account clients.

And.

We maintain our earlier guidance on the growth of 30 account clients and this year that is this year, we're going to acquire 200 to 300 new clients.

Clients with average upwards of a 150 to $160000.

In the first quarter, we have acquired 40 K accounted in the second quarter.

We've acquired another 40 to 50 K accounts, so actually everything with Amtrak and lofty by the end of last year. We've already had over 200 K accounts and this year. These existing clients will continue to bring 50 to 60000.

<unk> dollars of recurring revenue to us and.

Our key accounts are all clients are concentrated in cosmetics and food and beverage luxury and general retail industry has to meet your clients well, we have been acquiring material claims faster than we expected in the second quote by the end of second quarter, we've already signed over 10 distributions and overseas.

Our nearly 3000 are obsolete and a b and b to your clients I, usually a train stores wastewater tend to 'twenty out maybe even 100 athletes and for these mid tier clients they make payments on a monthly basis.

These are payments need to be allocated among health months until the current contribution.

Current fact limited, but I'll state ROE I believe it will contribute a lot to the development of our enterprise solutions and in addition to sell CRM.

CRM standard stock products to these clients. We also help them manage the private domain traffic. So currently we are exploring the <unk> profit sharing model with them.

I believe that it's going to be.

This model is well developed and it will bring huge opportunities to our enterprise solutions.

Okay.

What's your guidance.

To the Chinese consumers and also maintain the relationship with the members in China.

Or it's just going to charge them convenient her phone excuse me touch yourself and not all of them in Q1.

But as you wanted it so you just want me Timna, Colorado Begrudge them Paul.

Sure.

I think your final question.

So P J and Safra mentioned by the end of second quarter, we have already signed nearly 3000 athletes and for the full year I expect to acquire well find out more outlets than we predicted.

Yes, because I need to see a restocking to.

To sign up a four to five stars.

But I think that for the full year are we we will be very likely to have 80 to 90000 outlets signing with us and that means that the standard product.

<unk> are very attractive.

Two these are mid tier clients and because these are clients. They are chain stores. So they need our CRM products will help them connect with consumers and upgrade to their private domain traffic contribution you know we are still signing up.

The outlets and also the contribution.

It needs to be allocated a long tough months. So the current contribution would not be a big for the full year.

And maybe like a single digit or high single digit <unk> profit sharing model. We are very optimistic about this model and currently we are tried with mid tier clients and they all are welcome it.

And because they can use the CRM too.

They'll probably domain traffic and also operate their communities and therefore, bringing extra revenue to these merchants. Therefore, they are more than willing to share the profit with us and I think this model will be better for the.

Market, because if we simply selling soft tools to them.

These claims would not be a very sticky because after all.

Each will incur costs for them, a long time, they're not willing to pay it as to the Gen Z model since we can bring extra revenue to them.

Chinese will greatly greatly improve the stickiness of clients.

And therefore, our clients, we're not willing to actually jump the ship and then find other partners.

Uh huh.

Thank you and the next question comes from Brian Kinsinger with Alliance Global partners.

Great. Thanks for taking my questions and nice results first can you quantify the revenue from education in the first half of the year.

As a percentage of marketing solutions and then based on your guidance.

What are the assumptions in the second half of the year and then similarly, there's been discussion around new regulation in the China gaming sector can you tell us if there's been any impact on your marketing solutions business from gaming customers.

And any expectations in the near term or changes of advertising budget specifically.

Typically within that customer set thank you.

<unk>. This is Terence I I think I could first answer some.

As you know above the numbers for US and then I think I would posit that impressions to TJ to comment more about the industry.

And how the gaming sector.

You know may impact our second half results are first of all on the education whats being what the later scenes actually last quarter from the first quarter.

And so it has been adjusting the numbers.

Essentially so in the second quarter, it only takes around 2% to 3% of our.

Our total gross billings, so it's really small numbers and we actually believing or projecting a minimum numbers in the second half or even 280 numbers at the moment and so the gambling actually is a relatively big set of velocity it took around 15% to 20% of our total.

Total numbers in terms of the cross selling and some of the revenue is from business wrong.

So.

I guess I would then.

Pass the questions.

TJ to answer on the second part.

About the industry kind of outlook on the gaming and education et cetera.

Yeah.

Uh huh.

Hi.

Thank you your final question.

Yeah.

He has to be I don't know cause marketing solution in the second half.

Well due to the late two recollects me policy changes some teeth were adversely affected in particular online education, we've actually seen the income on the advertising.

A bunch of your telephone lines.

Indications in Q2 and ability.

The tightening of the regulation happened in Q3 and in fact, you know in the second quarter. Many of our online education clients are different.

He doesn't play any advertisements anymore, but we werent I'm not affected.

Second quarter because of their revenues from other ingots to actually laid off the GAAP and in the near future other industries, such as gaming and tourism will also be affected by the regulatory policy changes. So looking ahead at the second half.

We would see a lot of uncertainties.

And that's in the Atropine solutions Christmas, Although I don't know if these solutions business have a lot of industries will be more cautious and prudent in developing in the second half we will focus more on industry leader, that's one of our industries with more certainty and we also will focus.

More on risk management and cash flow management, so as to maintain the healthy growth in our marketing solution business. Thank you.
