Okay. First of all, for your first question about long-term contracts, most long-term contracts right now, today, in China is not – the price is not locked only the quantity. Even our competitors, even not collect, I think, deposits, lower deposits. But to us, I think you can see, we already signed three long-term contracts. We collected deposits from 3% – to 3.5% to 6%. The reason why we continue to stick on that because we think with certain – a little higher percentage of deposits can guarantee the quantity a contract can be stick on that can deliverable. So that’s, I think, our purpose even though I think one of our long-term contracts, you see in the history in this year and some months maybe delay and sign contracts they still, I think, come back, for example, one of our clients didn’t sign in September. So that’s why our inventory jumped up. And but there’s still, I think, come back book additional one month in fourth quarter. So basically, I think it’s a long-term relationship. And yes, from contract side, we have the right to – if in a book, take the contract, the quantity of silicon, we can forfeit the deposits. But all these clients is long-term. We’ll not do that. So basically, I think for us, I think if we collect enough deposits, we think we can still stick on the contracts. And the contracts, I think, basically, the price is determined by, I think, the industry guidance. And then the sign each month, even right now, two weeks, we signed maybe signed contracts with clients. Second question about the HJT. HJT, I think, is the – I think the cell production for N-type cell. Basically, right now, the import HJT equipment it’s almost 4 times cost than the PERC technology. So it’s not cost effective. So basically, right now, China today, everyone right now tried to domestic manufacturing N-type or you call HJT cell production. For example, I think one of our clients – I’m not mentioning this in U.S., they call HBT. So the HBT, they also still produce N-type cell. But I think the efficiency maybe only increased 0.5 point or 0.7% is not to compare with HJT increase almost 1.5% to 2%. So HBT right now, I think they cost like 1.5 times the cost of, I think, PERC. So that’s why right now is workable. But they not specifically by N-type silicon from us, they just – because we supply all P-type. They just select from our raw material to some N-type to manufacturing right now, 800 megawatts, I think, the HBT N-type cell. But for the future, yes, definitely, I think if HJT, the equipment can domestic manufacture the cost to continue to go down the cost-effective is sure, then N-type silicon will be – demand will be more. Today, actually, our silicon production, I think, of which almost 30% to 40% is N-type. But we cannot selling N-type in separator. Only one client, SunPower. I think definitely one of the Chinese company right now, I think every month, two ships – two cartons. I think, N-type. So today, N-type, the ASP compare the P-type, only RMB2 per kg difference. So in the future, hopefully, I think as the HJT equipments continue to, I think, installed and adding. So N-type silicon will continue to demand – increase then the price differentiate between N-type and P-type silicon were different. We can become large. For the third question about the debt, I think so far, I think if you look at our EBITDA, I think for the third quarter, even for the fourth quarter, which dramatically increased. So basically from November, our target is to continue to improve our leverage, reduce our leverage ratio. I think, to pay off some 4B, I think, expansion payments then also to reduce the banking loans. And basically, I think as I mentioned, the STAR Market value, I think, today in China, valuation is higher than the U.S. market basically, and we are making efforts to listing in STAR Market. We believe, I think we can raise enough money to expansion 4B, even more money to expansion for another new 40,000 tons, I think, facilities in somewhere we’re looking outside of Xinjiang. So Tony, does that answer your question?
