  • (foreign language) I have 2 questions.

    (外語)我有兩個問題。

  • My first question is about the GP margin trend.

  • Given the solid GP margin over the past 3 quarters, can management comment about how we should think about the GP margin outlook in 2020?

    鑑於過去三個季度的穩健 GP 利潤率,管理層能否評論我們應該如何看待 2020 年的 GP 利潤率前景?

  • Yes, you're right, our gross profit margin has recorded steady improvement throughout 2019 from like 13.8% in Q1 to like 19.8% in Q4.

    是的,你是對的,我們的毛利率在整個 2019 年穩步提高,從第一季度的 13.8% 到第四季度的 19.8%。

  • In the future, we still see some room to further leverage between our high paying ratio and to increase the revenue per MAU to further improve the gross profit margin.

    未來,我們仍然認為在我們的高支付率和增加每 MAU 收入以進一步提高毛利率之間存在一定的空間。

  • That leverage will come from the cost component like bandwidth cost as well as the revenue sharing cost.

    這種影響將來自帶寬成本和收益分享成本等成本組成部分。

  • So we will work on that, and we'll see that in the coming quarters.

    所以我們會努力解決這個問題,我們會在接下來的幾個季度看到這一點。

  • (foreign language) My question for management is about the competition landscape.

    (外語)我的管理問題是關於競爭格局的。

  • We saw some of Bilibili's peers, Chinese Internet peers talking about ramping up investments this year in either anime or PUGV content.

    我們看到 Bilibili 的一些同行,中國互聯網同行談論今年加大對動漫或 PUGV 內容的投資。

    我們了解這些同行——同行的這一舉動可能顯示出這個市場的巨大潛力,但這些新人的進入也可能會減少該領域的競爭。

  • So my questions are 2. First of all, I just wonder how management think of the potential impacts it may have on the company's assets to retain talented content creators and the audience.

    所以我的問題是 2。首先,我只是想知道管理層如何看待它可能對公司資產產生的潛在影響,以留住有才華的內容創作者和觀眾。

  • Will Bilibili, at certain point, be forced to pay more to some of the top content creators in order to retain them?
