Various activities of fighting against COVID-19 have also been carried out in regional markets. 3 / 8 MG is not only an automobile brand, but also a caring friend willing to share the same fate with all of you. Over the long history, humans have faced many "big tests": Eventually, it turns out that human race always survives and moves on to new life. At present, let's face it together positively. In the effort to move forward through difficulties with smooth transition, what we value most is that we will always keep each other company and go hand in hand in this journey. United as One! The year of 2020 is a year of revival. As of June this year, our total sales volume in overseas markets reached over 70,000 units, with a year-on-year growth of 36.9%. Among them, the sales volume in the Middle East, Thailand and India all 10,000 units. Australia, New Zealand, UK and Egypt both surpass 6,000 units. The sales volume in other markets is also stable.

The network 4 / 8 development in other region also has a good performance. Based on the 2019, the network is expected to reach over 600 in 2020. These are contributed by your dedication and trust in MG brand. Thank you again! The whole automobile industry has begun to rethink and actively respond due to the change-. Under this "New Normal", MG has some new ideas after deep self-inspect and reflection, which I would like to share with you: First of all, in view of the global economic downturn, we need to work together to optimize the full-value industrial chain. We could carry out sales and marketing activities in a better efficient and cost- optimized way under consideration of local market situation and trend: for example, CBD showroom, which is more in line with the current channel investment and retail layouts. Another example is Pop-Up Store. It is a flexible and innovative multiple times offline display, which combines with current marketing hotspots and deliver an eco-friendly 5 / 8 concept. The above two ways can create more opportunity of customers touching points while more exposing the brand image. Secondly, based on the global initiatives and requirements for environmental protection, MG will also follow the trend of the global automobile industry and build more eco-friendly products with its advantages in battery, e-motor and BMS technology. In addition, while providing high-quality products, we also need to consider customer services, to shift from "product oriented" to "customer-oriented", to comprehensively improve owners' experience during purchasing and car using. In this way, service will be gradually transformed into our competitive advantages and further promote product sales. Finally, how do we stay more connected with our customers in this "New Normal" situation? How do we better understand the new needs of our customers? People “united” by communication. With the epidemic ongoing, we may be unable to 6 / 8 communicate face to face as usual, which leads to an increase in the demand for digital experience. In today's infotainment world, digitalization has become the mainstream form of media. The online sales models of Amazon and TESLA are new attempts in the digital era, worthy of our deep study. SAIC Motor International is willing to try further integration of mainstream overseas digital marketing platforms. Aiming to realize a sharing digital information platform by establishing data visualization platform with output of targeted and professional strategies based on market differences. In terms of car purchasing experience, we try to introduce new digital technologies such as AR and VR to comprehensively improve customers experience, In future, we will pay more attention to customers perception and the whole experience from purchase to after-sales feedback of MG brand, All these aspects need your continuous attention and support. In 2020, we will set up special funds to support 7 / 8 network development and marketing activities during recovery period of COVID-19 in overseas markets. SAIC Motor International will do the best to bring more support for the revival of regional markets, The philosopher Socrates once said, "Adversity is man’s highest institution of higher learning." In 2020, we all need to introspect ourselves, head straight and work together to embrace the "New Normal". The world remains sound, and we continue to go hand in hand! On behalf of SAIC Motor International, thank you again for your time. United As One! 8 / 8 .
