[外语] 2021年第一季度,我们预计将取得稳健的业绩。2021年第一季度,预计总毛收入为31亿元人民币,同比增长27.9%,其中第一季度关联保费同比增长57%至8.927亿元人民币。权益[ph]保持强劲,13个月续保率超过91%。由于寿险业务的出色增长,我们的净收入达到11亿元人民币,同比增长51.5%,营业利润为1.444亿元人民币,较去年同期增长133.8%。归属于股东的净利润为1.384亿元人民币,同比增长222%。[外语] 中国寿险行业在改革转型过程中仍显低迷,这既带来挑战也带来机遇。自寿险定价放开以来的过去六年中,客户需求发生了根本性变化,随着中国自营代理人数量快速增长和互联网渠道的出现,健康险产品在中国的渗透率已相对较高。近年来政府支持的医疗保险的普及也满足了大部分健康险产品需求,中国商业长期健康险仍有上升潜力。[外语] 另一方面,投资储蓄型保险产品的市场情绪存在巨大潜力。中国中产阶级人口现已达到4亿。投资储蓄型保险产品是中产阶级家庭资产配置中不可或缺的组成部分,随着中产阶级人口的持续扩大,这类保险产品将出现爆发性需求。最大的机遇在于如何激发和满足这种隐性需求。[外语] 其次,保险代理人组织发生了根本性变化。传统的金字塔结构组织已无法满足客户不断变化的需求,这导致传统保险销售组织急剧收缩,近年来合格人才短缺。保险销售组织的专业化已成为当务之急。[外语] 数字化能力现在是长期竞争和繁荣的先决条件。数字化转型不仅涉及业务运营和客户需求洞察,还包括精准营销、客户体验优化、运营效率提升和运营成本节约。[外语] 第三,凭借快速专业化、数字化和开放平台战略,我们已做好充分准备抓住市场机遇。我们正按计划稳步推进各项战略举措的实施。[外语] 首先,专业化战略。截至目前,我们已批准设立九家收入分支机构;收入与分销相关的众包行业是我们专门为专业精英职能设立的高端品牌。我们预计其中两个职能将于7月投入运营。[外语] 数字化战略方面,我们的数字营销中心迄今已招募约100名服务代表,他们将专门为客户提供智能服务并促进整个营销交易。此外,我们开始在湖北省试点推出部分企业外联应用程序和世界数字助手应用程序,我们相信这将为我们的代理人提供更高效的方式与潜在客户互动。[外语] 第三,我们的开放平台战略依托我们在技术和与保险公司议价能力方面的成熟优势,我们将继续向所有合格的市场参与者开放平台。截至目前,我们已与16家渠道合作伙伴建立合作关系,我们正在促进系统连接和测试,第一季度通过该渠道合作伙伴促成的交易额约为150万。[外语] 展望2021年第二季度。2021年第二季度,在持续逆风和与2020年第二季度疫情后提振的艰难同比比较背景下,中国寿险行业普遍预计新业务将出现负增长。在此背景下,预计我们促成的总保费约为26亿元人民币,同比增长6.7%。考虑到实施新战略所需的增量支出,我们预计营业利润将不低于5000万元人民币。对于2021年下半年,我们将继续加大对新战略的投资,同时确保2021年全年实现不低于3亿元人民币的营业利润。我的演讲到此结束。现在开放提问环节。[外语] 我的演讲到此结束。现在,我们开放提问。

[Foreign Language] For the first quarter 2021, we're going to get the estimate with solid results. For the first quarter of 2021, with estimate RMB3.1 billion total gross income of 27.9% year-over-year, which first quarter associate premium grew by 57% year-over-year to RMB892.7 million. As equity [ph] remains strong with 13 months persistency ratio at over 91%. As a result of the stellar growth in life insurance business, our net revenues which RMB1.1 billion representing a growth of 51.5% year-over-year and operating income of RMB144.4 million at 133.8% from a year ago. Net income attributable to shareholders were RMB138.4 million, up 222% year-over-year. [Foreign Language] China's life insurance industry remains gloomy as it undergoes the reform and transformation, which pose both challenges and opportunities. There has been a fundamental change in customer demand in the past six years since the life insurance pricing liberation with the rapid growth in a number of self-agents in China and the emergence of the internet channel, the penetration rate of health insurance products in China have been relatively high. The popularity of government-backed medical insurance in recent years has also saw a large portion of demand for health insurance products and the road is upside potential for commercial long-term health insurance in China. [Foreign Language] On the other hand, there's the huge potential in the market sentiment of investment and savings type insurance products. China's middleclass population now stands at 400 million. As investment and savings insurance products constitute an indispensable component in middleclass family asset allocation with the continued expansion of the middleclass population, there will be explosive demand for this type of insurance products. The biggest opportunity lies in how one can stimulate and meet this implicit demand. [Foreign Language] Secondly, there have been fundamental change in insurance agents' organization. The traditional organization in pyramid structure can no longer meet customers' evolving demand, which leads to a sharp contraction in traditional insurance sales organizations and shortage of qualified talent in recent years. The professionalization of insurance sales organization has become an imperative. [Foreign Language] Digital capability is now a prerequisite to compete and thrive in the long term. Digital transformation reaches outside of business operations and customer demand insights to targeted marketing, customer experience optimization, operating efficiency improvements, and operating cost savings. [Foreign Language] Thirdly, with fast professionalization, digitalization, and open platform strategy, we're well positioned to capture market opportunities. We're making steady progress in rolling out our very strategic initiatives as scheduled. [Foreign Language] Firstly, professionalization strategy. As of date, we have approved the reception of nine income branches; the income which is distribution related as crowd industry is the high-end brand that we established specifically for our professional elite functions. We expect two of the functions will be ready for operation by July. [Foreign Language] Digitalization strategies, our digital marketing center has so far recruited around 100 service representatives, which will be dedicated to providing intelligence services to our customers and facilitating entire marketing transactions. In addition, we started to roll out some of our enterprise reachout application and launched some of our world digital assistant application on a trial basis in Hubei province, which we believe will provide more efficient way for our agents to engage with their prospective customers. [Foreign Language] Thirdly, our open-platform strategy leveraging on our well proven advantages in technology and bargaining power with insurance companies, we will continue to open our platform to all qualified market participants. As of today, we have established partnership with 16 channel partners as we are in the process of facilitating system connection and testing this process approximately 1.5 million on the facilitated through this channel partners in the first quarter. [Foreign Language] Hopefully, for the outlook in the second quarter in 2021. For the second quarter of 2021, amid persistent headwinds and a difficult year-on-year comparison to 2020 Q2 post COVID-19 boost, China's life insurance industry is widely expected to experience negative growth in new business. Against this backdrop, expect our total GWP facilitated to reveal approximately RMB2.6 billion from the balance in the year-over-year growth of 6.7%. After considering incremental expenditures required for implementing the new strategy, we expect our operating income will be no less than RMB50 million. For the second half of 2021, we will continue to step up investment in advocating on our new strategy, while ensuring the achievement of no less than RMB300 million operating income for the full year 2021. This concludes my presentation. Now before the open for your questions. [Foreign Language] This concludes my presentation. Now, we open for your questions.
