Thanks, Rob.
謝謝,羅布。
Thank you all for joining us.
謝謝大家加入我們。
We had a great quarter with operations, revenues and profits beating expectations.
我們有一個很棒的季度,運營、收入和利潤都超出預期。
This shows the resilience of our business in the face of complex geopolitical and economic conditions.
這顯示了我們的業務在面對複雜的地緣政治和經濟條件時的韌性。
Before Daniel and Maggie take you through our exciting quarter, I want to address the elephant in the room, which everyone calls the trade war.
在 Daniel 和 Maggie 帶您了解我們激動人心的季度之前,我想先談談房間裡的大象,大家都稱之為貿易戰。
Let's distill the complexity of U.S.-China relations to what it means for Alibaba.
讓我們從中美關係的複雜性中提煉出它對阿里巴巴的意義。
In short, the trade talks put Alibaba on the right side of all the issues on the table.
簡而言之,貿易談判讓阿里巴巴站在桌面上所有問題的正確一邊。
First, the reduction of the U.S. trade deficit.
第一,減少美國貿易逆差。
China's commitment to purchase more American products means China will, over the next several years, become a net importing country.
中國承諾購買更多美國產品意味著中國將在未來幾年成為一個淨進口國。
Consumers in China would benefit from the availability of quality imported products from all over the world, including from American farmers, brands and small businesses.
中國的消費者將受益於來自世界各地的優質進口產品,包括來自美國農民、品牌和小企業的產品。
Alibaba is set up to benefit from the secular trend of growing imports into China.
阿里巴巴的成立是為了受益於中國進口增長的長期趨勢。
We are the platform of choice for global producers of products and brands selling into China because we have the reach and deep insights on over 650 million active Chinese consumers on our platform.
我們是在中國銷售產品和品牌的全球生產商的首選平台,因為我們在我們的平台上擁有超過 6.5 億活躍的中國消費者的影響力和深刻見解。
The scale and effectiveness of our access to Chinese consumers is simply unrivaled.
我們接觸中國消費者的規模和有效性簡直是無與倫比的。
In cross-border e-commerce, our Tmall Global platform is China's #1 platform for overseas brands and merchants to sell to Chinese consumers directly without physical operations in China.
在跨境電子商務方面,我們的天貓國際平台是中國排名第一的海外品牌和商家直接向中國消費者銷售商品的平台,無需在中國開展實體運營。
Well-established global retailers and brands that have built an online presence out on Tmall Global include nutritional supplement vendors, Chemists Warehouse and Blackmores, baby products brand Pampers and apparels brand Emporio Armani.
已在天貓國際建立在線業務的知名全球零售商和品牌包括營養補充劑供應商、Chemists Warehouse 和 Blackmores、嬰兒用品品牌幫寶適和服裝品牌 Emporio Armani。
Second, the trade negotiations will lead to China opening its markets to more foreign businesses in order to satisfy the massively growing demands of domestic consumers.
其次,貿易談判將使中國向更多外國企業開放市場,以滿足國內消費者日益增長的需求。
We're not concerned about slowing China exports affecting GDP growth because the Chinese economy is shifting from an export economy to a domestic consumption economy.
我們並不擔心中國出口放緩會影響 GDP 增長,因為中國經濟正在從出口經濟轉向國內消費經濟。
Job expansion is continuing in China.
中國的工作崗位仍在繼續擴張。
Over the last 5 years, while China lost 14 million manufacturing jobs, the economy added 70 million service jobs that drove real disposable income growth and consumption.
在過去 5 年中,雖然中國失去了 1400 萬個製造業工作崗位,但經濟增加了 7000 萬個服務業工作崗位,推動了實際可支配收入增長和消費。
The middle class in China has reached critical mass of over 300 million, almost as large as the entire U.S. population.
中國的中產階級已經達到 3 億多的臨界數量,幾乎與整個美國人口一樣多。
The middle class will double in the next 10 years, especially from the lesser developed Chinese cities.
未來 10 年,中產階級將翻一番,尤其是來自中國欠發達城市的中產階級。
While total Chinese domestic consumption is USD 5.5 trillion today, consumption from these third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities with a combined population of 500 million people will triple from USD 2.3 trillion to nearly USD 7 trillion in the next 10 years.
雖然目前中國國內消費總額為 5.5 萬億美元,但這些擁有 5 億人口的三、四、五線城市的消費在未來 10 年將從 2.3 萬億美元增加兩倍,達到近 7 萬億美元。
Third, intellectual property protection.
三是知識產權保護。
In recent years, China has made significant improvements in reducing IP infringement as China moves closer to global norms in protecting and paying for foreign IP.
近年來,隨著中國在保護和支付外國知識產權方面更接近全球規範,中國在減少知識產權侵權方面取得了重大進展。
China also recognizes the need to protect its own innovators as well as being focused on Chinese consumers who demand genuine products of high quality.
中國也認識到有必要保護自己的創新者,並關注需要真正高質量產品的中國消費者。
Alibaba is at the forefront of protecting intellectual property.
阿里巴巴走在保護知識產權的前列。
Leveraging on our cutting-edge technology, we take proactive and aggressive steps to crack down on counterfeits in our marketplaces because the customers who trust our platform demand it.
利用我們的尖端技術,我們採取積極主動的措施打擊我們市場中的假冒產品,因為信任我們平台的客戶需要它。
Alibaba is the only e-commerce company that is validated by global brands as having the highest commitment to IP protection.
阿里巴巴是唯一一家被全球品牌認可為對知識產權保護做出最高承諾的電子商務公司。
The Alibaba Anti-Counterfeiting Alliance, which we initiated in 2017, has grown to 132 global brand companies from 16 countries and 12 industries.
我們於 2017 年發起的阿里巴巴打假聯盟已經發展到擁有來自 16 個國家和 12 個行業的 132 家全球品牌公司。
The alliance members collaborate in 6 key areas: number one, proactive online monitoring and protection; number two, product test buy programs; number three, offline investigations; number four, assisting law enforcement; number five, litigation against infringers; and number six, public awareness campaigns.
聯盟成員在 6 個關鍵領域開展協作:第一,主動在線監控和保護;第二,產品測試購買程序;第三,線下調查;第四,協助執法;五、對侵權人提起訴訟;第六,公眾意識運動。
Fourth, reforming the structure of the Chinese economy.
第四,改革中國經濟結構。
The model of state-dominated influence in traditional industries is being complemented by private sector initiatives to digitize the economy for manufacturing, supply chain, distribution, product development and marketing.
傳統行業中國家主導影響力的模式正在得到私營部門舉措的補充,以實現製造、供應鏈、分銷、產品開發和營銷方面的經濟數字化。
Through our New Retail strategy and support from our intelligent cloud computing solutions for enterprises, Alibaba is playing a leading role in building a new commerce infrastructure in an increasingly digitized economy.
通過我們的新零售戰略和我們為企業提供的智能雲計算解決方案的支持,阿里巴巴在構建日益數字化的經濟中的新商業基礎設施方面發揮著主導作用。
Our partnership with Starbucks is a case in point.
我們與星巴克的合作就是一個很好的例子。
Starbucks in China has established a prominent brand presence and customer engagement platform within our mobile-ready China retail marketplaces.
星巴克在中國已經在我們的移動就緒中國零售市場中建立了突出的品牌影響力和客戶參與平台。
This has already resulted in Starbucks acquiring millions of new loyalty members online.
這已經導致星巴克在網上獲得了數百萬新的忠誠會員。
We're also enabling Starbucks to expand their offering from store-based operations to on-demand delivery to customers.
我們還使星巴克能夠將他們的產品從基於商店的運營擴展到按需交付給客戶。
Through these initiatives, Starbucks has added an online dimension to its customer acquisition and engagement as well as fulfilling customer demand outside of its stores.
通過這些舉措,星巴克為其客戶獲取和參與增加了在線維度,並滿足了門店外的客戶需求。
This would not have been possible without the support of Alibaba's business operating system, data technology and on-demand logistics infrastructure.
如果沒有阿里巴巴的業務操作系統、數據技術和按需物流基礎設施的支持,這是不可能的。
To summarize, the vexing issues in the trade negotiations will resolve themselves as the Chinese economy is already evolving to close the gap between the interests of the United States and China.
總而言之,貿易談判中的棘手問題將自行解決,因為中國經濟已經在不斷發展以縮小中美利益之間的差距。
This means in the future there will be bigger Chinese domestic consumption, more foreign imports, continuing focus on enhanced IP protection and further digitization of industries driven by participation of the private sector.
這意味著未來中國國內消費將增加,外國進口將增加,將繼續關注加強知識產權保護以及私營部門參與推動的行業進一步數字化。
As we look at the evolution of the Chinese economy, Alibaba is on the right side of all these issues.
當我們審視中國經濟的演變時,阿里巴巴在所有這些問題上都站在了正確的一邊。
I cannot think of another company that is better equipped to drive these secular changes and participate in the ensuing long-term benefits.
我想不出還有哪家公司能夠更好地推動這些長期變化並參與隨之而來的長期利益。
Now I turn to Daniel for his remarks.
現在我請丹尼爾談談他的看法。

在我們的核心商業業務中,天貓繼續加強其在 B2C 市場的市場領導地位。
Tmall physical goods paid GMV grew 33% year-on-year in this quarter and 31% year-on-year in the fiscal year, while China's overall online and physical goods, respectively, grow 21% and 23%.

During this quarter, our customer management revenue grew by 31% year-on-year.

The robust revenue growth was driven by expanding user base, better conversion rates from improving algorithms and a new trend of brands and merchants choosing us as their top pick for new product launches and new customer acquisition efforts.
強勁的收入增長是由不斷擴大的用戶群、改進算法帶來的更高轉化率以及品牌和商家選擇我們作為新產品發布和新客戶獲取工作的首選的新趨勢推動的。

As I will address later in my remarks, we are committed to delivering sustainable, long-term growth.

In March quarter, our total revenue grew 51% to RMB 93.5 billion.

The increase was mainly driven by the strong growth of our China commerce retail businesses, the consolidation of Ele.me as well as robust revenue growth of Alibaba Cloud.

Talk about the quarter's cost trends.

我們在中國零售市場穩固的盈利能力使我們能夠投資於核心商業的戰略領域以及其他戰略舉措領域。
So in the core commerce, we have these areas that we invested: local consumer service, Lazada, New Retail and direct import as well as Cainiao.

We're seeing significant traction and diversification of customers in revenue.

Now let me elaborate on how we think about customer management revenue.

In the case of monetization of recommendation feeds, although we saw moderate positive impact in the past quarter when we tested the monetization of feed traffic, currently we do not plan on extending the monetization of recommendation feeds in the coming fiscal year.
在推薦 Feed 的貨幣化方面,雖然我們在上個季度測試 Feed 流量的貨幣化時看到了適度的積極影響,但目前我們不打算在下一財年擴大推薦 Feed 的貨幣化。
Here is the reason.

Similar to how we invested in the past year to expand our B2C market leadership, we plan to invest aggressively to further expand our user base in less developed cities.
與我們去年為擴大 B2C 市場領導地位而進行的投資類似,我們計劃積極投資以進一步擴大我們在欠發達城市的用戶群。
This past fiscal year, we added over 100 million annual active consumers with more than 70% from these less-developed cities.
在上一財年,我們增加了超過 1 億的年度活躍消費者,其中 70% 以上來自這些欠發達城市。
Given the enormous consumption potential of these newly acquired consumers, being conservative on monetizing the traffic generated by new users will improve user experience and provide incentives for merchants to develop merchandising to cater to those users.
鑑於這些新獲得的消費者的巨大消費潛力,在將新用戶產生的流量貨幣化方面保持保守將改善用戶體驗,並激勵商家開發商品以迎合這些用戶。
Having said that, revenues from China retail marketplaces generate a high profitability and a strong cash flow.
話雖如此,來自中國零售市場的收入產生了高盈利能力和強勁的現金流。
In the past fiscal year, adjusted EBITA from our marketplace-based core commerce business was nearly USD 24 billion.
在上一財年,我們基於市場的核心商務業務的調整後 EBITA 接近 240 億美元。
We expect the strong profitability and positive cash flow characteristics of these -- of this revenue base to continue into fiscal 2020.
我們預計這些收入基礎的強勁盈利能力和正現金流特徵將持續到 2020 財年。
This would allow us to invest in strategic businesses, including local services, digital entertainment, international market, New Retail, logistics and cloud computing.
這將使我們能夠投資戰略業務,包括本地服務、數字娛樂、國際市場、新零售、物流和雲計算。
These strategic businesses are what we believe to be big growth areas that will substantially increase our total addressable market.
我們認為,這些戰略業務是巨大的增長領域,將大大增加我們的潛在市場總量。
We will continue to be disciplined, patient and innovative in our approach to grow strategically important businesses that add long-term value to the customers and Alibaba digital economy.
我們將繼續以自律、耐心和創新的方式發展具有戰略意義的重要業務,為客戶和阿里巴巴數字經濟增加長期價值。

I want to follow up on Maggie's comment regarding the investment strategy in lower-tier cities.
我想跟進Maggie關於低線城市投資策略的評論。
I think you guys have been doing similar initiatives such as [Sing Tao] for a while.
我想你們一段時間以來一直在做類似的舉措,比如[星島]。
And given the current change in operating environment, such as a competitive landscape, penetration rate in different cities, disposable income across different demographics, et cetera, et cetera, what do you think does it take to be competitive in the lower-tier cities in FY '20?
考慮到當前運營環境的變化,例如競爭格局、不同城市的滲透率、不同人群的可支配收入等等,您認為在中國的低線城市需要具備哪些競爭力? 20 財年?
And what kind of the financial resource you're willing to invest in these cities and consumer demographic?
您願意在這些城市和消費人群中投入什麼樣的財務資源?
Yong Zhang - CEO & Director
Yong Zhang - CEO & Director
Well, as you see, in fiscal year '19, we add over 100 million in new customers in our China core marketplaces, and over 77 (sic) [70%] of these new customers are from low-tier cities.
嗯,正如你所看到的,在 19 財年,我們在中國核心市場增加了超過 1 億的新客戶,這些新客戶中超過 77(原文如此)[70%] 來自低線城市。
And we -- as we addressed in our remarks, we will continue to invest in low-tier cities and in the rural areas to acquire the new customers.
而我們——正如我們在評論中所提到的,我們將繼續投資於低線城市和農村地區,以獲取新客戶。
And we strongly believe that these new customers will -- actually, when they are tapping to our marketplaces, when they change their lifestyles, and they will -- actually we will basically give them broader selections and -- which will -- to enlarge our addressable market.
我們堅信,這些新客戶將 - 實際上,當他們進入我們的市場時,當他們改變他們的生活方式時,他們將 - 實際上我們基本上會為他們提供更廣泛的選擇,並且 - 這將 - 擴大我們的目標市場。
So that's why we expect to continue to invest in terms of the marketing spending, in terms of the -- a very well-planned, I mean, marketing solution.
所以這就是為什麼我們希望繼續在營銷支出方面進行投資,我的意思是,一個非常精心策劃的營銷解決方案。
And also, as we said in our remarks, we don't want to -- for these low-tier city customers and new customers, we want to give them better experiences with organic, I mean, results of the search and recommendations and as well as to give them broader selections for their first few, I mean, purchases.
而且,正如我們在評論中所說,我們不想 - 對於這些低線城市客戶和新客戶,我們希望通過有機搜索和推薦結果為他們提供更好的體驗,以及以及為他們的前幾次購買提供更廣泛的選擇。

H. Chen - Equity Analyst
Congratulations for the strong results.
祝賀你取得了優異的成績。
The question is about the guidance for fiscal year '20.
問題是關於 20 財年的指導。
Can you help -- can you walk us through the details of the sales guidance, for example the core revenue expectation, in other segments?
你能幫忙——你能告訴我們銷售指導的細節嗎,例如其他細分市場的核心收入預期?
And also, under what kind of macro conditions have we baked into the sales guidance?
而且,我們在什麼樣的宏觀條件下融入了銷售指導?
Maggie just mentioned that we currently do not plan to monetize feeds in fiscal '20.
Maggie 剛剛提到我們目前不打算在 20 財年將 Feed 貨幣化。
I'm wondering, does that imply there could still be potential changes in the plan if the business and market conditions allow us to monetize recommendation feeds in fiscal '20?
我想知道,這是否意味著如果業務和市場條件允許我們在 20 財年將推薦提要貨幣化,計劃中仍有可能發生變化?
Wei Wu - CFO
Wei Wu - CFO
Sure.
當然。
When you look at our 500 billion percent well -- RMB 500 billion revenue, it represents approximately 33% year-on-year growth.
當你看看我們 5000 億的百分比——5000 億元人民幣的收入時,它代表了大約 33% 的同比增長。
So as you see from the previous years, our significant revenue are coming from our China retail businesses, and this will also the case for the fiscal 2020.
因此,正如您從前幾年看到的那樣,我們的重要收入來自我們的中國零售業務,2020 財年也是如此。
One thing I would like to mention is that we do expect the proportion of revenue from our direct sales business will continue to increase as we further implement our New Retail strategy.
我想提的一件事是,隨著我們進一步實施新零售戰略,我們確實預計直銷業務的收入比例將繼續增加。
Yong Zhang - CEO & Director
Yong Zhang - CEO & Director
So the second -- or the first is on the guidance and the breakdown.
所以第二個——或第一個是關於指導和細分的。
The second is what type of macro conditions have been baked into the guidance.
第二個是指南中包含了哪些類型的宏觀條件。
Wei Wu - CFO
Wei Wu - CFO
Yes.
是的。
So macro condition, it's -- Joe talked about the U.S.-China trade war is actual -- in fact, the U.S.-China-related business, if you look at as a percentage of our total revenue per se right now, is relatively small.
所以宏觀條件,這是 - 喬談到美中貿易戰是實際的 - 事實上,美中相關業務,如果你現在看一下我們總收入本身的百分比,相對較小.
So the business we're talking about is the cross-border and particularly between China and U.S. So actually, the impact wouldn't be that significant if we're talking about this year.
所以我們談論的業務是跨境業務,尤其是中美之間的業務。所以實際上,如果我們談論今年,影響不會那麼大。
So RMB 500 billion revenue guidance has certain relevant impact, but I should say not that big.
所以5000億的收入指引有一定的相關影響,但是應該說沒有那麼大。
Chung Tsai - Executive Vice Chairman
Chung Tsai - Executive Vice Chairman
I would just like to add that macro conditions that we look at are all long-term secular trends.
我想補充一點,我們看的宏觀環境都是長期的長期趨勢。
Those are the more significant drivers of our business as opposed to kind of quarter-by-quarter GDP growth or industrial production and things like that.
這些是我們業務的更重要驅動力,而不是 GDP 逐季增長或工業生產等類似因素。
In fact, if you look at the -- most of the markets looking at China's macro being too focused on the manufacturing sector, and I've just referred to the Chinese economy shifting toward a service-oriented economy with last 5 years losing manufacturing jobs but adding a lot more service jobs, and those kind of continuous job growth are the factors that are driving disposable income and continuous consumption.
事實上,如果你看看——大多數關注中國宏觀的市場都過於關注製造業,我剛才提到中國經濟正在轉向服務型經濟,過去 5 年製造業工作崗位流失但是增加更多的服務工作,以及那些持續的工作增長是推動可支配收入和持續消費的因素。
So that's a -- that's one big macro trend.
所以這是一個 - 這是一個大的宏觀趨勢。
We've also referred to the shift toward a domestic consumption economy.
我們還提到了向國內消費經濟的轉變。
That's a big macro trend that will last for many, many years as well as in the future China importing a lot more with the government commitment as well as reaction to the trade negotiations, China will make commitments to import more.
這是一個將持續很多年以及未來中國進口更多的大宏觀趨勢,政府承諾以及對貿易談判的反應,中國將做出進口更多的承諾。
So these are the macro factors that we actually factor into our business.
所以這些是我們實際考慮到我們業務的宏觀因素。
And in fact, the -- we -- if you're looking at our business as a sort of swimming in a stream, if you will, we're swimming, flowing in the direction of the tide as opposed to going upstream against the tide because all those long-term secular macro factors are actually providing the tailwind to push our business forward.
事實上,我們 - 如果您將我們的業務視為一種在溪流中游泳,如果您願意的話,我們正在游泳,順著潮汐的方向流動,而不是逆流而上潮,因為所有這些長期的長期宏觀因素實際上都在提供推動我們業務向前發展的順風。

And second again, Maggie, you -- I realized you mentioned that Alibaba will continue to invest in local services, digital entertainment, logistics and cloud services.
其次,Maggie,你——我意識到你提到阿里巴巴將繼續投資本地服務、數字娛樂、物流和雲服務。
But could you give us a sense of -- going down the P&L into FY '20, whether the magnitude of spend that we saw in 2019 will likely come down to margin improvement?
但是,您能否讓我們了解一下——將損益表降低到 20 財年,我們在 2019 年看到的支出規模是否可能會歸結為利潤率的提高?
Wei Wu - CFO

Right.
正確的。
So Piyush, I could share that.
所以 Piyush,我可以分享。
If you look at the cohort, right, this 100 million new adds are -- majority are from the lower-tier cities, so if you look at these first-year consumers, their spending levels are lower than the group's -- the same-age group in previous years but not that significantly low.
如果你看這個群體,對,這 1 億新增加的是——大多數來自低線城市,所以如果你看這些第一年的消費者,他們的消費水平低於這個群體的——相同的——年齡組在往年但並沒有那麼低。
I think I should say it's comparable to those first-year consumer in the past.
我想我應該說它與過去那些第一年的消費者相當。
That gives you a sense of the spending level of these less-developed-area consumers.
這讓你了解這些欠發達地區消費者的消費水平。
And talk about the margins -- or I will say you're more interested to get to know the spending in those business which are still in a loss situation.
並談談利潤率——或者我會說你更有興趣了解那些仍處於虧損狀態的企業的支出。
I think for digital entertainment, local services, these are the 2 biggest loss-making business units.
我認為對於數字娛樂、本地服務,這是兩個最大的虧損業務部門。
As I said, we are going to continue to be disciplined.
正如我所說,我們將繼續受到紀律處分。
However, at the same time, we do prepare to fight for competition to extend our market share.
然而,與此同時,我們確實準備參加競爭以擴大我們的市場份額。
So I think we, during the business plan, have a quite balanced approach to achieve the -- our business goals with efficient spending.
因此,我認為我們在業務計劃期間採用了一種非常平衡的方法來實現 - 我們的業務目標以及有效的支出。

Actually recently, we have Jiang Fan in charge of both Taobao, Tmall.

And I think the reason why we made this change is because actually, Taobao and Tmall essentially is 2 highly integrated marketplaces.

And Taobao -- mobile Taobao is a very important entry point for consumers to navigate both -- to explore both Taobao and Tmall products.
而淘寶——移動淘寶是消費者瀏覽淘寶和天貓產品的一個非常重要的入口點。
So we need a very integrated product architectures and to serve the different consumer purposes.

而且我認為作為一個 - 他將 - 他將擔任這兩個綜合市場的首席架構師,並 - 加強我們 - 加強 - 並區分淘寶和天貓的地位。
And I think Taobao is still positioned as a consumer community, and the value proposition is in-depth selections and discovery -- and the fun of discovery while Tmall try to give people a very high-quality product and services and with a lot of -- with a high degree of certainty.
而且我覺得淘寶還是一個消費社區,價值主張是深度選擇和發現——以及發現的樂趣,而天貓則試圖給人們提供非常優質的產品和服務,並且有很多—— - 具有高度的確定性。
So I think in Taobao marketplaces -- in Taobao interface, Tmall's supply is also be very, very critical to enrich the Taobao selections.
所以我認為在淘寶市場——在淘寶界面,天貓的供應對於豐富淘寶的選擇也是非常非常重要的。
So I think that this, I mean, organization change will enhance the positions of both Taobao and Tmall.

Talk about efficiency of spending -- maybe I could give you an example to further explain.
談談支出效率——也許我可以舉個例子來進一步解釋。
For example, like local service, right now, we see these -- first of all, the total orders from lower-tier cities are just approximately 20% of our total orders, which means there's a high potential for us to grow in these less developed cities.
例如,像本地服務,現在,我們看到這些——首先,來自低線城市的總訂單僅占我們總訂單的 20% 左右,這意味著我們在這些較低城市的增長潛力很大發達城市。
And when you look at our spending for top-tier cities, the spending efficiency are pretty much the same as the peers', but we haven't really get into the lower-tier cities.
你看我們在一線城市的支出,支出效率和同行差不多,但我們還沒有真正進入低線城市。
When we get into it, and it could enhance -- give us a chance to increase the efficiency.
當我們進入它時,它可以增強 - 給我們一個提高效率的機會。
Another thing is that the leverage, the synergy among our group companies, such as user and traffic acquisition efforts, will see the efficiency come out.
另一件事是槓桿,我們集團公司之間的協同作用,例如用戶和流量獲取工作,將會看到效率。
Total orders from Taobao and Alipay for Ele.me represent -- now represent around 30% of Ele.me orders.
來自淘寶和支付寶的餓了麼訂單總量現在約佔餓了麼訂單的 30%。
So this is what our strengths and uniqueness compared to peers in this business could really utilize the assets from our other group companies to cross-sell.
因此,與該行業的同行相比,這就是我們的優勢和獨特之處,可以真正利用我們其他集團公司的資產進行交叉銷售。

So to translate it, when you see the customer management revenue growth for this quarter, it's very high, right, 31% versus 26%, 27% in previous quarters.
因此,換句話說,當你看到本季度的客戶管理收入增長時,它非常高,對,31%,而前幾個季度為 26%,27%。
So this is because -- partially because we extended -- we allocate more traffic for the recommendation feed test.
所以這是因為——部分是因為我們擴展了——我們為推薦提要測試分配了更多的流量。
And for the reason that we are not going to extend that monetization test, it's just similar how we invested in the B2C share -- market share expansion, right?
由於我們不打算延長貨幣化測試,這與我們投資 B2C 份額的方式類似——市場份額擴張,對吧?
So what we are telling people is that if we want to monetize this, we can increase the revenue and extend the CMR quickly.
所以我們告訴人們的是,如果我們想將其貨幣化,我們可以增加收入并快速擴展 CMR。
But we're targeting for long-term growth.
但我們的目標是長期增長。
We want to acquire user from less developed cities first and provide them with best user experience and also attract merchants to come and develop merchandise and to cater to these users for longer-term growth.
我們希望首先從欠發達城市獲取用戶,為他們提供最好的用戶體驗,同時吸引商家前來開發商品,以滿足這些用戶的長期增長。
So that's the plan.
這就是計劃。

就餓了麼的外賣戰略而言,自從我們收購餓了麼到現在已經一年多了,你能不能給我們一些最新的信息,說明我們如何看待競爭格局發生的變化,我們的市場份額已經進化了嗎?
Also, when we look at this quarter, revenue of this segment is relatively flat, but the losses here, is it also narrowed it?

Well, yes, actually this April, actually we just celebrated our 1-year anniversary of -- after Ele.me joined Alibaba big family.
好吧,是的,實際上今年四月,實際上我們剛剛慶祝了餓了麼加入阿里巴巴大家庭一周年。
And when we look at the past year, I mean, what we experienced in past year, we -- all of us believe that this is the right decision, to have Ele.me in Alibaba digital economy.
當我們回顧過去的一年,我的意思是,我們在過去一年所經歷的一切,我們——我們所有人都相信,讓餓了麼進入阿里巴巴數字經濟是一個正確的決定。
I think first of -- first, it's like a -- it's about category expansion.
我認為首先 - 首先,它就像 - 它是關於類別擴展的。
I think today, food delivery is a necessity of the -- of all the consumers' lifestyle in China.
我認為今天,送餐是中國所有消費者生活方式的必需品。
And it all depend on the frequency, but you have -- at least you have to try.
這一切都取決於頻率,但你有——至少你必須嘗試。
I mean you need a -- from time to time, you need food delivery services.
我的意思是你需要 - 不時地,你需要送餐服務。
So I think this is part of consumers' lives today.
所以我認為這是當今消費者生活的一部分。
So I think -- which is very, very important to make sure we can meet order demands of our customers.
所以我認為 - 這對於確保我們能夠滿足客戶的訂單需求非常非常重要。
So second, Ele.me also bring us a very important on-demand delivery network, which today not only serve Ele.me business but also serve other business in Alibaba ecosystem, including our recent collaboration with Starbucks.
那麼其次,餓了麼也給我們帶來了一個非常重要的按需配送網絡,今天它不僅服務於餓了麼業務,還服務於阿里巴巴生態系統中的其他業務,包括我們最近與星巴克的合作。
So I think Ele.me actually play a very important role and 2 roles in Alibaba.

First is like a -- it's a new category killer.
首先就像一個——它是一個新的類別殺手。
Second is a on-demand logistic infrastructure.

And if you'll look -- if we review what the -- we did in the past year, I think we've already integrated Ele.me's technology platform with Alibaba technology.

And we -- I mean in new year, we'll continue to expand our coverage across China on the food delivery business.
我們——我的意思是在新的一年,我們將繼續擴大我們在中國的食品配送業務覆蓋範圍。
Today, we are -- I think most of our Ele.me operation are focused on major cities, but we will continue to move ahead to cover more cities, especially low-tier cities, where we see a growing demand and market need.
今天,我們 - 我認為我們的大部分餓了麼業務都集中在主要城市,但我們將繼續前進以覆蓋更多城市,特別是我們看到需求和市場需求不斷增長的低線城市。
So we will -- I think we have -- we're well prepared to move forward to win the battle in this sector.
因此,我們將 - 我認為我們已經 - 我們已做好充分準備,以贏得這一領域的戰鬥。

A little expansion on that previous question with Ele.me.
餓了麼對上一個問題進行了一些擴展。
Clearly, core business very healthy.
顯然,核心業務非常健康。
Seven point sequential acceleration in marketplace core commerce adjusted EBITA growth that allows you to invest more in the strategic businesses.
市場核心商務的七點連續加速調整了 EBITA 增長,使您能夠對戰略業務進行更多投資。
But 2 questions here.
但是這裡有兩個問題。
The first is how much do you see core commerce initiatives becoming as a percentage of total commerce revenues for the upcoming fiscal year?
首先是您認為核心商業計劃在即將到來的財政年度佔商業總收入的百分比是多少?
And then I know you don't manage the business on a margin basis, but gross margins were notably down this quarter in fiscal year.
然後我知道你不以利潤為基礎管理業務,但本財年本季度的毛利率明顯下降。
How much was just due to seasonality this quarter and -- if any?
有多少是由於本季度的季節性——如果有的話?
And if not, how much do you expect this to continue as you invest in gaining market shares over peers?
如果不是,在您投資於獲得超過同行的市場份額時,您預計這種情況會持續多少?
Specifically, just trying to get a better sense of how much you're using incentives for drivers and maybe even consumers for local consumer services and if they're temporary or permanent as you expand into Tier 3 cities and below.
具體來說,只是想更好地了解您對司機甚至消費者的本地消費者服務使用了多少激勵措施,以及當您擴展到三線及以下城市時,它們是臨時的還是永久的。

Yes, I -- in our IR deck, the PPT that was put on our website, it shows that -- where the spendings are and how our EBITA profitability grow for our core as well for the core and also for the overall AGH.
是的,我 - 在我們的 IR 甲板上,放在我們網站上的 PPT,它表明 - 支出在哪里以及我們的 EBITA 盈利能力如何為我們的核心以及核心和整體 AGH 增長。
So that could give you a better sense on where is -- the money goes.
這樣可以讓您更好地了解錢的去向。
That's on Page 12 of the material.
那是在材料的第 12 頁上。
So in terms -- rather than talking about margins, yes, we talk about our profitability growth.
因此,就術語而言——是的,我們不是在談論利潤率,而是在談論我們的盈利能力增長。
In the past year, you could tell from our -- the presentation I just mention that we did spend or invest in the areas not only in those cloud computing, digital media and entertainment but also within core, we have several areas that we have invested and also showed a very positive business progress.
在過去的一年裡,你可以從我們的——我剛才提到的演講中看出,我們不僅在雲計算、數字媒體和娛樂領域,而且在核心領域進行了支出或投資,我們在幾個領域進行了投資並且還顯示出非常積極的業務進展。
So these areas -- including local servicing, international business, Lazada, New Retail and logistics.
所以這些領域——包括本地服務、國際業務、Lazada、新零售和物流。
So I think overall, we're looking at this business for down -- 3 to 5 years is our next milestone rather than the next quarter or next year.
所以我認為總的來說,我們正在考慮這項業務 - 3 到 5 年是我們的下一個里程碑,而不是下一個季度或明年。
As I said, although we committed to invest, at the same time we're also committed to enhance the efficiency of the investments, which means that for every dollar we spend, we look at ROI internally.
正如我所說,雖然我們致力於投資,但同時我們也致力於提高投資效率,這意味著對於我們花費的每一美元,我們都會在內部查看投資回報率。
So that's how we decided whether we're going to extend the spending on certain businesses.
這就是我們決定是否要擴大對某些業務的支出的方式。

Oh, marketplace -- right, the question on marketplace revenue as a total revenue is still going to contribute -- if you look at our core commerce, first of all, core commerce is still going to contribute a significant part of the total revenue.
哦,市場——對,關於市場收入作為總收入的問題仍然會有所貢獻——如果你看看我們的核心商業,首先,核心商業仍然會貢獻總收入的很大一部分。
I think previous years, we have shown like somewhere around 80%.
我認為前幾年,我們已經展示了大約 80%。
In the coming year, the percentage wouldn't change that significantly.
在接下來的一年裡,這個百分比不會有太大變化。
The percentage will be pretty much at the same range.

Han Joon Kim - VP and Research Analyst
I just wanted to round up with a question on the guidance.
我只想總結一個關於指導的問題。
So based on everything that you guys have said and based on the fourth quarter numbers, which was running at a pretty high rate, it would seem to me that the kind of a 33% rate would be more of a kind of a minimum number that we start off with that we want to work north of.
因此,根據你們所說的一切以及第四季度的數字,它以相當高的速度運行,在我看來,33% 的比率更像是一種最低數字我們從我們想要在北方工作的地方開始。
Would that be a fair assessment?
這是一個公平的評估嗎?

Han Joon, could you repeat the question?
韓俊,你能重複這個問題嗎?
You were breaking up in the middle.

I assume you're asking a question about revenue guidance being the minimum, is that right?
我假設你問的是關於收入指導是最低限度的問題,對嗎?
Han Joon Kim - VP and Research Analyst
Han Joon Kim - VP and Research Analyst
Yes.
是的。
I mean you guys sound pretty confident into this fiscal year, this fiscal '20.
我的意思是你們對這個財政年度,這個 20 財年聽起來很有信心。
And we exited last year north of 50%.
我們去年退出了 50% 以上。
So just on that cadence, I feel like a 33% Y-o-Y would be -- or reflects more of a kind of a minimum threshold that we set and try to move up from that throughout the course of the year.
因此,就這種節奏而言,我覺得 33% 的 Y-o-Y 會是——或者更多地反映了我們設定的一種最低門檻,並試圖在整個一年中提高這一門檻。
Wei Wu - CFO
Wei Wu - CFO
Yes.
是的。
Let me explain on that.
讓我解釋一下。
So if you look at the fiscal 2019, our overall revenue year-on-year growth was 51%.
所以如果你看一下 2019 財年,我們的整體收入同比增長 51%。
However, we did have some newly acquired business that we added in this fiscal year, which means that there was 0 base for fiscal 2018.
但是,我們在本財年確實有一些新收購的業務,這意味著 2018 財年的基數為 0。
For example, Ele.me, right, finalized -- just added late 2018.
例如,餓了麼,對,最終確定——2018 年底剛剛添加。
So if you take those out, our revenue growth -- the organic revenue growth would have been 39%.
所以如果你把這些去掉,我們的收入增長——有機收入增長將是 39%。
So this is the starting point.
所以這是起點。
And now we're talking about CNY 500 billion-plus, which is 33%, is actually comparable to last year's organic growth.
而現在我們談論的是 5000 多億元人民幣,即 33%,實際上與去年的有機增長相當。
The key is that 33%, we believe this growth will continue to outperform all of our global peers.
關鍵是 33%,我們相信這一增長將繼續超越我們所有的全球同行。
I hope that helps.
我希望這有幫助。
