For example, for a recent interview with a talent in the AI field, we not only looked at his technical background and professional abilities, but also focused on whether he has a forward-looking vision and can focus on the future development of technology and products for deep usage scenarios with us. In addition, we emphasize the long-term nature of equity design, with a genuine equity distribution only occurring every two years, which requires employees to be able to cooperate steadily for at least two years.

Q:Can you please share with us the company's exploration and achievements in the productization of smart bodies?
A:We applied LP AI technology early on and, with the arrival of the intelligent era, continued to deepen our understanding and application of AI. For example, our self-media platform 2.0 went online.

When different departments within the enterprise use the same intelligent entity product, they are able to adapt to various versions, models, and data permission requirements, reflecting our competitive advantage.

We will utilize general middleware capabilities and bottom-layer capabilities in the marketing field to quickly seize the market and establish barriers. In addition, we also need product managers with vertical industry experience to join us to promote the formation of vertical integrated products and capability matrix. Therefore, there will be a significant increase in research and development expenses and personnel investment in the second half of the year.

From the perspective of willingness to pay, with the changes in industry trends and market environment, the willingness to pay varies among different industries, but overall, it continues to steadily increase.
