The domestic and overseas market.

And the second question is about also about the revenue outlook, but that's all for the full year 2022 how shall we think about it for the overseas business and also the domestic business and also can we have a little bit of color of each product category segments as well and the final question is just about the margin of the gross margin that we should the operating margins.

First quarter 2022 and also for the full year 2022 and how should we think about divulging all commodity prices raw material causes and also the oil prices how would that affect on watching Oh look.

When will you see a more visible trend or an inflection point. So that's all for my question just Joe Schwartz I always felt when he shares.

Okay.

Okay. Thanks for Hill discussion.

40, 40 sounds churn up today, we saw the overall consumer demand is relatively weak compared to the same period of 2021, while we saw all products and channel portfolio is trending more diversified and healthier.

Firstly, we saw the sales contribution of high end products is increasing.

Our introduction of a SKU is a premium product and all.

40 product portfolio adjustments.

Secondly, we saw the south on our new channels such as people go to war until you increasing very fast.

Increasingly additional mid to high end products and products with higher margins.

This channels.

We expect the south on these new channels to increase food as well and help us to enhance brand awareness.

And for the slipped below book.

For both domestic and overseas market, we saw weaker consumer demand for the whole industry compared to the first quarter of 2021, when we achieved a very robust growth in sweep of walnuts.

Particularly for the overseas market due to the International War and COVID-19, the market demand for smartphones premium cleaning products all impacted despite.

Despite the overall macro environment.

The introduction of U S to use put them on optimization and overseas channel expansion in mind, there's always put patients.

Chris in terms of SKU you, we recently introduced our new self cleaning sweep of Robo Alpha fleet in January and.

We see a fast growing and sells them received.

Feedback from the market.

And the reason recent new product launch event, we also introduced our new Watson dry they come clean the cyber pro and swipe, it too which is equipped with double brushes photos.

So towards the launch of sensor and.

Oh tier upgrade functions.

Second the sales contribution of high end Skus are increasing.

How should we drive dippold online towards premium to self contribution of our high end products, such as alpha to pro and over two plus <unk>.

Three increased.

Food.

Just discuss the overseas market, we successfully step into a new market in Singapore, Germany, Italy and other countries.

Further our new cooperation with largest go international agents are smooth and we expanded our self operated model.

Along with the U S. Amazon store, we launched last August we opened Amazon store in Italy.

We will open more self operated stores in Europe in the coming months.

Oh boy.

So we view as temporary.

Temporary market fluctuations.

We still expect our Cleveland business in 2022 to achieve.

And the put along to churn more diversified.

Yeah for the second question about the south of all local 2022 are generally before the so structure, we could refer to destruct off Q4, 2021 .

Like Oh two.

Our home portfolio me, maybe accounted for half of the total portfolio and home water solution accounted for around 20, 20% has more sense.

And others accounted for around 20% and consumables accounted for 10% of Iraq.

For the overseas business, we spot.

High single digit of the total revenue.

<unk> to the market changes and the company's adjustment later.

Hum.

Good question about the margin and price we saw the price of raw materials was relatively stable when entering into the fourth quarter of last year.

Due to the war and a series of economic Restructures the price went up in the first quarter.

The increased price that's been partially reflected in our E S piece.

So it is partially offset by the increase asp's.

In addition, we have done some price agreements with suppliers in the wireless so Paul we don't just buy the silicon price of raw materials to cause material impact on our gross margin on that product margin side.

All botanize more influenced by the extent of our investments in our R&D and marketing expenses.

To deliver mid to long term golf, that's we as well as to strengthen our branding of one stop home solutions, we will consider to increase the additional investments in masking marketing in channels.

How should we already saw benefits of our market down in temperatures like we did on the third quarter of last year. We have confidence. This is much much with help promote our news jet engine products and enhance our brand image.

Hum.

Image.

Yeah. Thank you.

Yeah.

The next question comes from Rudy way with TICC. Please go ahead.

Okay. So thank you very much for their management's presentation and I have two questions here. The first is about our promotion and our brand building strategy.

Not just that a company has launched many new products just two weeks ago and in most of the products are targeted at our high end customers. So how do you plan to improve the brand image and then make the customers willing to pay for those new products are also in your hours spokesperson, though it has some problems.

Finally, so how serious is the influence yet.

So first of all we are saying I'm turning point for the consumer group, who buy deal with might help pradaxa and we see the market has been transformed from a small group of people and have them on T and if it's very important for our industry and that's how we are doing a lot.

Well, we're continuing to do more in additional marketing and advertising, especially in some cities.

There's like a young people our culture, even like Disney one tier one and tier two cities and for your question about it doesn't that doesn't have an issue.

We responded very.

Very quickly and very efficiently. So this issue didn't cause any material impact at all our brands.

And ask me with bombed out quickly and which give us a very traditional and more exposure on the market at the intrinsic sum of wasteful.

Even though we are toward out. Unfortunately, we are tuning our brand positioning to more premium.

No it should be that our rates and product launches by introducing more premium, but still purchase solutions offerings to our high end markets, including the 300000 B solutions to 'twenty are the 200000 R&D spaced packages, all followed premium consumers and the way that you do.

Such groups are increasing our mahwah users.

Oh, that's the answer from our field.

So that's all.

I will repeat the question in English so what's your outlook for the competition in 'twenty or 'twenty to how do you evaluate the market competition situation will become more years. Thank you.
