Xinhua: Yesterday when we were opening a game G50 global closed-door summit, some of our peers asked us. The Rolling Stone movement has been looking at some game areas since last year for several reasons:
First, we have a suitable positioning, we are positioned in the music company to understand the most game manufacturers. Relatively speaking, the Rolling Stone movement from the word inside can be seen, the company's brand inside the Rolling Stone represents music, mobile is mobile terminals and mobile Internet domain. In this regard, we have some of the channels and areas we have in promoting digital music. Relatively speaking, we from music to the entire entertainment field, whether it is music or games, are in our pan-digital entertainment category, there is a natural channel for us to base.
