Thank you, good evening, Merle and Eddie and congratulations on your extraordinary success at the China Sourcing Fairs this quarter.
Let me maybe ask you guys a question about your domestic expansion plan and the question may be a little bit complicated, because I'm trying to see some of the interaction. Here's the question, you stated that you plan the offer the domestic website initially free of charge.
Can you give us an idea of how aggressively you're going to market this service? And I can imagine that you will immediately, you'll able to offer this to your international website customers out of the gate and thus get some critical mass pretty quickly essentially those based in China.
And I'm also wondering if you plan on targeting any of your specific competitors, who may be charging for a domestic service with your new free service?
And then the complicated part is given that you have a more integrated or comprehensive service offering, because you have the Online, the Print and the Trade Shows. I'm wondering, if there is a bundling strategy that you guys may have available to you on the domestic side where you could, for example, sell the Trade Shows business to suppliers but offer the free online listing on the domestic sales side.
Could you maybe comment on having multiple products gifted to you, like I said a bundling strategy that might make you differentiate the market? And then I have a follow-up as well, thanks.

Okay. Thanks Jason and thanks for joining our call. Yes, we are well into our domestic expansion and just to remind who are in the audience, we participate quite aggressively in various verticals in China already.
We do a publication called Chief Executive China; it has over 200,000 print readers and has over 800,000 registered users. We also have a publication called the EET, Electronic Engineering Times, which also is the leader in its industry and a publication called the SMC, which is Electronic Sourcing Services.
And basically these two publications have a dominant position in that pre-production of electronic products along with a title called Electronic Design. So, we have a very good position in the domestic market and we're looking to expand on that by providing the cataloguing services.
