Good morning and good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining our second quarter 2024 earnings conference call today. The second quarter of 2024 was a challenging month, with the intensified competition and high traffic acquisition costs in the global e-commerce market continuing to weigh on our top line. However, the strategical adjustments we made to prioritize profitability in the first quarter proved effective, resulting in a net income of 0.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. A turnaround from a net loss from the same period of last year and the first quarter of this year. We are pleased to see our determination, discipline, and strong execution paying off in our bottom-line performance. And we remain agile amid the evolving competitive environment to sustain this momentum and drive high-quality development. Meanwhile, we continue to proactively elevate our product quality and refine our differential strategy. Our strategical focus remains on strengthening our localized operations in key markets to precisely identify our target customers better define all the competitive advantages and explore potential breakthrough points as we strive to strengthen our brand abilities and cultivate a loyal customer base. We are making progress with certain product lines and we are opting you on further development in due course. We are encouraged by the results our profitability and product optimization initiatives thus far. And we intend to double down on these core strategies in light of the dynamic global market.
