Following management's prepared remarks, we will conduct a Q&A session. Before we begin, I refer you to the Safe Harbor statement in the company's earnings release, which also applies to the conference call today as management will make forward-looking statements.

[Interpreted] Hello, everyone. Welcome to Cango's 2020 Q2 earnings call. The entire industry has been abruptly and dramatically impacted by COVID-19 since the beginning of 2020. The difficult conditions persisted through the end of the second quarter, and the recovery was slower than our previous expectations. The lower mid-range market segment as well as domestic brands were impacted more than the higher end segment and joint venture brands. Despite the unfavorable conditions, we continue to make meaningful progress in our strategic initiatives. It is worth noting that our insurance facilitation services delivered very strong performance in the second quarter. In Q2, we booked RMB 274.1 million in revenue, exceeding the higher end of the guidance range by approximately 10%. In particular, aftermarket services revenue grew to RMB 52.5 million, accounting for 19.1% of the total. Thanks to efforts to optimize the cost structure and improve operating efficiency. The gross margin stayed at a healthy level in the second quarter. We also regained positive operating income, mainly attributable to effective cost control and improved asset quality as a result of the post loan management. Overall speaking, our net profit increased to RMB 70.2 million. In the second quarter, we continued to build on our core auto loan facilitation business. The aftermarket service facilitation also achieved an outstanding performance, mainly fueled by the strong growth of insurance facilitation business, particularly the car insurance business that we have vigorously promoted grew significantly on a sequential basis, completing 18,000 transactions in the second quarter, more than double the previous quarter. In addition, our health insurance products continue to gain in popularity, and we recorded more than 10,000 transactions in the second quarter. Insurance facilitation as a whole is no longer sideline business. Instead, it holds promising growth potential as an independent business line. Looking…

[Operator Instructions] Our first question will come from Shelley Wang with Morgan Stanley.

[Foreign Language] So I have three questions. I am from Morgan Stanley. The first one is about the Q3 performance. Well, actually, we are seeing the China's auto market turn for the better in -- starting from now, and we are also seeing strong growth in sales for some Chinese brands such as [indiscernible]. So my question is how will this trend help with our business in Q3? And second question is about overdue ratio. We do see that the overdue ratio for the second quarter improved; however, it still remained at a level higher than that of last year, so if overdue ratio continues to improve, will that generate more gains for risk assurance liabilities. And the third question is about the longer-term growth strategy. Right now, we have covered 45,000 units. So, what about your growth expectation in two or three years' time? How many dealers do you expect to cover? And what are the new growth drivers for the longer term; are you going to cover more stores? Are you going to work with more auto brands? And also, I mean, what is the longer term growth strategy for the business?

[Foreign Language] Thank you, Shelley, for your questions. I will take your first question and then our CFO will answer the next two questions. Okay. About two questions on the impact of the growth of Chinese brands sales of our business. Well, we see that the recovery trend is similar to what we have observed in the second quarter. And actually, compared with the first and second tier cities, there is no significant improvement in demand in the lower-tier cities yet, and actually Cango is the strongest in those lower-tier markets. So, -- and also for the growth in sales of these Chinese brands, actually they are mainly attributable to the sales in stores. So, there is some support to our business, but limited indeed.

[Foreign Language] I'd like to add some point to the first question. Well, yes, we also observed the recovery in sales for Chinese brands such as [Indiscernible] and we also are seeing positive contribution by this recovery to our business growth in the second quarter. Actually, by the end of the second quarter, we already saw this positive impact. However, as we said earlier, Cango focused mostly on the lower-tier markets and in this lower-tier markets and I think it will take -- it will still take some time for the demand to recover. In particular, we need to see a stronger rebound in the purchasing power of the consumers. So, yes, indeed, we expect to see positive contribution to our business growth in Q3 and in the longer term from the recovery of the Chinese auto brands and other brands as well, but indeed for the real impact on our business to happen, we still need to see the better purchasing power in lower-tier cities. And about second question, that is the overdue ratio improvement and its impact on gains in the risk assurance liabilities item. Well, in the second quarter, thanks to our post loan management, in particular, our debt reduction efforts, we have seen an improvement in our overdue ratio. Actually, the -- I mean, some overdue ratios, in particular and 1+ [ph] ratio has dropped significantly over the second quarter. And this is mainly attributable, as I said earlier, to our post management effort. And that's why in the second quarter, we have recognized about RMB 40 million gain in – in the changes in the fair value of risk assurance liabilities. And starting from early Q3, we are seeing continuing improvement in this post-loan management metrics, and if this trend continues we actually do see an opportunity to recognize more gains in the risk assurance liability. And in Q1, when the pandemic was at its peak, Cango, in fact, aggressively made more provisions for the -- for our assets. And that's why -- and that's why you are seeing higher provisions in our Q3 on our books. But thanks to resumption of economic activities and also thanks to our post management effort, we are seeing better asset quality in the second quarter and throughout early Q3. So with these trends going on, we expect to see lower provisions in the future, and we could reverse some of the revisions that we made earlier and recognize them as gains in our risk assurance liabilities.

[Foreign Language] About your third question on our future growth strategy, let me, first of all, talk about the channel side. Well, we will continue to explore opportunities to increase our dealer partners in the next few years. Well, first of all, we will continue to optimize our relationship with the renowned foreign stores in the lower tier cities. And as you heard earlier, we are now gradually terminating partnerships with those dealers who do not meet our standards on service level and also in traffic generation capabilities. And these are all efforts by us to improve the operating efficiency in the lower tier city network. And on the other hand, we are also working on building relationships with foreign stores of the higher end brands, and we have established a dedicated team to develop this market segment. And so we are actively exploring this new channel, and we are investing heavily to expand our relationships with the foreign stores. So overall speaking, in the next three years, we expect the number of dealers who work with us to increase to about 60,000, 45,000 of which will be the foreign stores in the lower-tier cities and about 15,000 of which will be foreign stores of the higher end brands. [Foreign Language] In addition, we will further improve our product and service offerings with our dealers in order to improve the productivity as well as traffic generation activities of our dealers, because we should not just look at the number of dealers who we are working with. It's also very important for us to improve the per store activity and also per store productivity, because these metrics will have a direct bearing on our business growth. So these are some of the priorities we are going to work on in the near future. And thirdly, well, the core business of Cango has been the auto loan facilitation business. At the same time, we are investing heavily to grow our aftermarket business. Actually, as you can see from our results, the contribution from this business to our revenue has increased quite significantly. And also in the aftermarket business line, the insurance facilitation business has performed outstandingly. And you can see that the contribution by this insurance facilitation business, where our revenue has grown significantly. So we expect that actually -- we expect this insurance facilitation business to grow into core and an independent business line of Cango in the future. In addition, we have also set up a dedicated team to grow our auto transaction facilitation business. So, thanks to our efforts and investment, we expect the auto transaction facilitation business to make positive contribution to our business, as well as to our revenue growth in the third quarter and in the following quarters. Thank you.
