Yes. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and good evening to all of you for joining us from China and U.S. We like to welcome all of you to CoffeeSource's second quarter 2021 conference call. I'm Helen Xu, the AI Director. Our CEO of the company, Mr. Xiaobin Liu, will also join us this call today. I'd like to remind you to all of our listeners that in this call, certain amendments during the call will contain for looking information about the golf resources and its subsidiary business and the products within the meaning of Rule 175 under Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 3B-6 under the SEC Act of 1934 and are subject to the safe harbor created by those rules. Actual results may differ from those discussed today, taking into account a number of risk factors, including but not limited to the general economic and business conditions in the PRC, the risks associated with COVID-19, pandemic outbreak, future products development and production capabilities, shipment to end-customers, market acceptance of new and existing products, additional competition from existing and new competition from the bromine and the other oil fields and the power production chemicals, changing technology, the ability to make future bromine assets and the various other factors beyond the company's control. Overlooking statements are expressly qualified in this entirety by this cautionary statement and the risk factors detailed with the company's report filed with the SEC. Gulf Resources assumes no obligation to revise or update any forelooking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this call. Accordingly, our company believes expectations reflecting in those forelooking statements are reasonable and that there can be no assurance of such will prove to be correct. Any reference to the company's future performance replacement management estimates as of today, the 16th of August 2021. For those of you unable to listen to the entire call at this time, a replay will be available at the company's website. The call is also accessible through the webcast and the link accessible through our website, so please locate our press release issued early for the details. And at this moment, I just want to say that due to the company website issue and the webcasting we issued early in our press release has been updated and the company already issued a new webcasting link and the PR is on its way. So I think it will be issued very soon in five or ten minutes before the call, supposed to be before the call. It's on the way now. So now let's turn the call back to Mr. Liu now.
