Q:What are the characteristics of the operating model of e-commerce channels and how is the business situation?
A:Our e-commerce mainly adopts a self-operated model, which is different from others in the same industry. We can quickly respond to consumer trends and match consumer demand, providing high-quality, high-tech, and cost-effective online exclusive products.

Q:What are the specific reasons for the significant improvement in cash flow? What are the main drivers of revenue growth in the first half of the year?
A:The improvement of cash flow is mainly due to a decrease of over 220 million in inventory and a significant improvement in accounts payable. The decrease in inventory was caused by the impact of the early Spring Festival last year, with the rapid growth of e-commerce leading to a significant increase in inventory. However, with the disappearance of the Spring Festival effect and the continued strong growth of e-commerce, we have appropriately maintained a high level of inventory to ensure timely replenishment and delivery. In the future, we will continue to study and optimize inventory levels to maintain a reasonable level while effectively supporting sales.
The increase in revenue in the first half of the year mainly came from the Fujian region, and the specific factors driving the growth were not detailed in the statement. However, the company overall achieved continuous revenue growth through innovation in technology content, monitoring consumer preferences, and optimizing operational models (such as recommendation mechanisms and fixed-price sales strategies).
Q:How has the cash flow and process been in the past two months?
A:In the past two months (July and August), the trend of cash flow has remained stable, without further improvement, but specific data was not provided in the speech. Regarding the process, the decrease in inventory is due to special circumstances at the end of last year, while the improvement in accounts receivable is a result of our efforts to negotiate shorter payment periods with large distributors in mature markets at the beginning of this year, with some results already being seen. We will continue to work towards making further progress in the future.
Q:I would like to ask the first question, is the company currently mainly acquiring consumers from the Asian market, or from other markets? How can we further increase our market share in the future?
A:Among the consumers obtained, there is indeed a portion of young consumers, especially by seizing the market share of international brands to attract young consumer groups. At the same time, the company is also committed to finding new consumer groups, such as by opening collector stores, adopting a humanistic management mode, focusing on high-end products, continuously verifying the supply chain capabilities and operating efficiency.
Q:For cross-border e-commerce, it seems that the growth momentum is very good. Can you share information on the long-term growth goals, expected profit margins, etc. of cross-border e-commerce in Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and other regions?
A:Cross-border e-commerce is developing towards profitability, but the logistics issues need to be resolved first. The company has already established logistics in some countries, and domestic brands' cross-border e-commerce has been fully launched. The goal is to change the positioning of merchants and consumers in e-commerce by providing high cost-effective products, not just limited to low-priced products, but focusing on high-value, high-tech products. It is believed that cross-border e-commerce will gradually become profitable and become an important part of the company's future growth.
Q:In terms of accounts receivable, how does your business model differ from other peer companies?
A:We do not adopt the ATC mode, but rely on five distributors to promote our products in each province. These distributors have a solid foundation and stable business situation locally, through them we can expand the market and increase market share according to the different needs of each region.
Q:Can you achieve a repayment period as short as 120 days like some mature markets?
A:Although we are seeking to shorten the collection period to optimize the accounts receivable algorithm on the balance sheet, considering the stable cooperative relationships and cultural and demand differences in different regions, we prefer a shorter period of time, but we will also strive to achieve a shorter collection period based on specific circumstances.
Q:How is the overall cash flow situation in July and currently?
