| In terms of the revenue, you can see that this year, the new car price cuts and promotion campaigns do generate some challenges for the used car market |
| In Q3, we see that the sales from the ICE car dealers dropped by a little bit less than 9% |
| And according to the data from CPCA in the first nine months of 2023, the overall profit margin for the Chinese auto industry is 4.9%, much lower than 5.7%, which is the overall industrial company's profit margin |
| In Q2, this number was 21.4%; you can notice there is a big slowdown of the growth speed |
| As a result, there is still challenges for the entire auto industry |
| And for the used car market, I already mentioned that due to the price cut of the new vehicles and because of COVID-19, we do see that used car market has been under some pressure as well as some restrictions |
| However, I think that this is because even though ICE cars are still making profit, but their market share is declining |
| And this year, as we know, the dealers, they generally encounter some difficulties, so, we will of course never raised the price |
| And I see that the sales of the ICE vehicles have been declining |
| NEVs experienced a high speed growth, but most of them are still suffering from losses |
| Of course, the dealers are under some impact |
| As a result, entire auto sector are still going on the restructuring |
| First of all, could you please share your views on market outlook for the upcoming quarters? And do you expect continued price competitions among OEMs |
| The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in personnel related expenses |
| Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations |
| And TTP still makes profit so far |
