Risk tips: 1) technology replacement risk: with the continuous evolution of cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the business and application requirements of the industry may evolve accordingly. If we can’t closely track the updates and changes of cutting-edge technologies in the industry, the uncertainty of the company’s future development will increase; 2) Exchange rate fluctuation risk: the company operates in many countries and regions with different currencies in the overseas market. The exchange rate risk mainly comes from the foreign currency exposure and exchange rate fluctuation caused by sales, procurement and financing settled in non RMB (mainly US dollars), which may affect the profit level of the company. 3) Global market development risk: the company’s business covers more than 150 countries and regions around the world. If there are trade protection, debt problems, political conflicts and other situations in the country where the business is carried out, it may have an adverse impact on the company’s business development
