-5 Thanks Ella, well let me bring your attention to what I see is the main issues. 1st is our budget review. Maybe there are a few polishing details left. 2nd is our new strategy. Yes, ella. Our financial expert isn't here yet, so I think we should get the show started with the second issue. How to define our new strategy.

-1 By the way, how many bidders have submitted their bids? Four, but one has withdrawn its bid. OK. Did you get the information we need? Sure, ABC Company is a well established firm and is best known for reasonable price and attractive design. Notice, but I think it can be arranged. That's great.
