In 2022, we set a minimum growth target and expect the company to return to high growth. In 2022, the company plans to increase revenue by no less than 15% and net profit by no less than 30%. We believe that 1) the rebound of industry prosperity and the effect of price increase are expected to promote the recovery of revenue growth in 2022; 2) As the channel inventory tends to be benign, the market cost investment is expected to decrease, and the advertising cost shrinks, we are optimistic about the performance elasticity brought by the improvement of the cost rate in 2022.
