For more specifics on the first quarter, let me turn it over to Howard.
關於第一季度的更多細節,讓我把它交給霍華德。
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Thank you, Charles, and good afternoon, everyone.
謝謝查爾斯,大家下午好。
I will focus my remarks on earnings, gross margins, operating expenses and similar items on a non-GAAP basis, which reflects adjustments to exclude stock compensation expenses.
我將重點關注非公認會計原則基礎上的收益、毛利率、運營費用和類似項目,這反映了排除股票補償費用的調整。
Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP is included in the financial statements of the company in today's earnings release and in the supplemental details in the slide presentation and prepared remarks accompanying this conference call.
GAAP 與非 GAAP 的對賬包含在公司今天的收益發布中的財務報表中,以及本次電話會議隨附的幻燈片演示和準備好的評論中的補充細節中。
Let me begin with a review of the fourth quarter income statement.
讓我首先回顧一下第四季度的損益表。
We ended fiscal year 2017 with a record $717.9 million in revenues for the fourth quarter and executing on a number of strategic investments, which put us in very strong position as this technology refresh cycle begins.
我們在 2017 財年第四季度的收入達到創紀錄的 7.179 億美元,並執行了多項戰略投資,這使我們在這個技術更新周期開始時處於非常有利的地位。
The investments across a number of market verticals and geographies around the world have expanded our business opportunities with a host of new and exciting and existing customers, especially in large enterprise.
在全球多個垂直市場和地區的投資擴大了我們與許多新客戶和現有客戶的商機,尤其是在大型企業中。
The increase in revenues of 36.9% from last year was widespread across our market verticals, such as enterprise, storage, IoT and accelerated computing.
收入比去年增長 36.9%,這在我們的垂直市場中很普遍,例如企業、存儲、物聯網和加速計算。
This was offset in part by a decline in IDC.
IDC 的下滑部分抵消了這一影響。
On a geographical basis, we had strong growth in Asia, Europe and in the U.S. The 13.7% sequential increase in revenues was primarily driven by strength in Asia.
從地域上看,我們在亞洲、歐洲和美國實現了強勁增長。收入環比增長 13.7% 主要是受亞洲強勁增長的推動。
In particular, China was up 35% as we leveraged our growing partnerships.
特別是,由於我們利用不斷增長的合作夥伴關係,中國增長了 35%。
Non-GAAP gross margin was 13.5%, down 60 basis points from 14.1% a year ago and down 50 basis points from 14% sequentially.
非美國通用會計準則毛利率為 13.5%,較上年同期的 14.1% 下降 60 個基點,較上一季度的 14% 下降 50 個基點。
The decrease from prior year and sequentially was primarily due to cost increases in memory and SSD; higher sales in Asia, which is typically more competitive; and sales of later-stage life-cycle products also affected margins.
較上年和環比下降的主要原因是內存和 SSD 的成本增加;在亞洲的銷售額更高,通常更具競爭力;後期生命週期產品的銷售也影響了利潤率。
Offsetting these were operational efficiencies, which we have made over the past few years through capacity utilization, economies of scale, more complete solution sales with higher content of software and services.
抵消這些的是運營效率,我們在過去幾年中通過產能利用率、規模經濟、更完整的解決方案銷售以及更高的軟件和服務內容實現了這一點。
Non-GAAP operating margin was 4.5%, up 1.4% from 3.1% a year ago and 20 basis points from 4.3% sequentially.
非 GAAP 營業利潤率為 4.5%,較上年同期的 3.1% 增長 1.4%,較上一季度的 4.3% 增長 20 個基點。
The increase in -- from prior year and sequentially were primarily due to the growing revenue at a faster pace than our operating expenses.
與去年同期相比的增長主要是由於收入增長速度快於我們的運營費用。
This year, we plan to tighten our headcount and expense control with the goal of continuing to leverage the investments we have already made and drive improved profitability.
今年,我們計劃加強員工人數和費用控制,目標是繼續利用我們已經進行的投資並提高盈利能力。
Net income was $20.7 million, up 100.2% from $10.4 million a year ago and up 2.1% from $20.3 million sequentially.
淨收入為 2070 萬美元,比一年前的 1040 萬美元增長 100.2%,比上一季度的 2030 萬美元增長 2.1%。
On a non-GAAP basis, fully diluted EPS was $0.39 per share, which was up from $0.20 per share a year ago and up from $0.38 per share sequentially.
在非 GAAP 基礎上,完全稀釋每股收益為 0.39 美元,高於一年前的每股 0.20 美元和上一季度的每股 0.38 美元。
The number of fully diluted shares used in the fourth quarter was 53 million.
第四季度使用的完全稀釋股數為5300萬股。
Turning to free cash flow on a sequential basis.
轉向連續的自由現金流。
Cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments were $115.9 million, up $5.4 million from $110.5 million in the prior quarter.
現金和現金等價物、短期和長期投資為 1.159 億美元,比上一季度的 1.105 億美元增加 540 萬美元。
In the fourth quarter, free cash flow was a negative $12.3 million, primarily due to an increase in AR of $92.1 million, offset in part by a decrease in inventory net of accounts payable of $40.9 million.
第四季度,自由現金流為負 1230 萬美元,這主要是由於應收賬款增加 9210 萬美元,部分被扣除應付賬款後的庫存減少 4090 萬美元所抵消。
So the increase in AR was primarily due to higher revenues which accelerated late in the quarter.
因此,AR 的增長主要是由於本季度末收入增加加速。
Overall, cash conversion cycle days was 95, which is 5 days lower than the prior quarter and 4 days higher than the same quarter last year.
總體而言,現金周轉週期天數為 95 天,比上一季度減少 5 天,比去年同期增加 4 天。
We do expect the SSD and memory issues to last through the end of the calendar year.
我們確實預計 SSD 和內存問題將持續到日曆年年底。
Now for a few comments on our outlook.
現在就我們的前景發表一些評論。
As we enter the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we see strong growth opportunities from a technology refresh cycle which is just starting.
隨著我們進入 2018 財年第一季度,我們從剛剛開始的技術更新周期中看到了強勁的增長機會。
We continue to see strong traction for our leading solutions in our growing customer base, especially in large enterprise.
我們繼續看到我們領先的解決方案在我們不斷增長的客戶群中的強大吸引力,尤其是在大型企業中。
These factors, coupled with the investments we have made in our future during the past few years, give us strong momentum to accelerate our growth in the many market verticals we serve as exhibited by last quarter's results.
這些因素,再加上我們在過去幾年中對未來所做的投資,為我們提供了強勁的動力來加速我們在上一季度業績中所服務的許多垂直市場的增長。
Therefore, the company currently expects net sales for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, in a range of $625 million to $685 million.
因此,公司目前預計截至 2017 年 9 月 30 日的季度淨銷售額在 6.25 億美元至 6.85 億美元之間。
Assuming this revenue range, the company expects non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.30 to $0.40 for the quarter.
假設這個收入範圍,公司預計本季度非 GAAP 每股攤薄收益約為 0.30 美元至 0.40 美元。
At the midpoint, this will represent an increase of 24% in revenue and 9% in EPS from the prior year.
從中點來看,這將比上一年增加 24% 的收入和 9% 的每股收益。
We continue to expect to reach the $3 billion run rate by the end of the year -- calendar year.
我們繼續期望到今年年底 - 日曆年達到 30 億美元的運行率。
It is currently expected that the outlook will not be updated until the release of the company's next quarterly earnings announcement, notwithstanding subsequent developments.
目前預計,在公司發布下一季度財報之前不會更新展望,儘管隨後有事態發展。
However, the company may update the outlook or any portion thereof at any time.
但是,公司可能會隨時更新展望或其任何部分。
With that, let me turn it back to Charles for some closing remarks.
說到這裡,讓我把它轉回給查爾斯,聽取一些結束語。
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President

(Operator Instructions) And we'll take our first question from Mehdi Hosseini with Susquehanna Financial Group.
(操作員說明)我們將與 Susquehanna Financial Group 一起回答 Mehdi Hosseini 的第一個問題。
David Ryzhik - Associate
David Ryzhik - Associate
This is David Ryzhik for Mehdi.
我是邁赫迪的 David Ryzhik。
Just a few if I can.
如果可以的話,就幾個。
The midpoint of your revenue guide comes out to around down 9% Q-over-Q.
你的收入指南的中點結果是 Q-over-Q 下降了 9% 左右。
Just wondering, what are the factors there, particularly given that you're entering the product cycle and it's assumed that it would be ramping in the September quarter.
只是想知道那裡的因素是什麼,特別是考慮到您正在進入產品週期並且假設它會在 9 月季度增加。
And I had a follow-up.
我有一個後續行動。
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Yes, David, this is Howard.
是的,大衛,這是霍華德。
Yes, we are seeing the ramp-up as Skylake is launched here.
是的,隨著 Skylake 在這裡推出,我們看到了增長。
Again though, the September quarter is seasonally soft, and the -- this guidance is above seasonal averages.
不過,9 月季度季節性疲軟,而且——這一指導高於季節性平均水平。
David Ryzhik - Associate
David Ryzhik - Associate
Got it.
知道了。
And regarding gross margins; if memory pricing was a 50 to 70 basis point hit, and I assume it was 70 basis points, that would've put your gross margins at 14.2.
關於毛利率;如果內存價格下跌 50 到 70 個基點,我假設是 70 個基點,那將使您的毛利率達到 14.2。
Given the -- in the June quarter.
鑑於 - 在 6 月季度。
Given the high volume, the favorable mix from the lower Internet data center, just would've thought that the normalized gross margins would've been higher perhaps from capacity utilization.
鑑於容量大,較低的互聯網數據中心的有利組合,只是認為正常化的毛利率可能會因產能利用率而更高。
Can you just talk about what are the other impacts?
你能談談其他影響是什麼嗎?
I mean, you mentioned Asia business.
我的意思是,你提到了亞洲業務。
Can you just elaborate a little bit more on some of the mix and if there's any kind of pricing impact that we should be aware of in gross margins?
您能否詳細說明一些組合,以及我們是否應該在毛利率方面注意任何定價影響?
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Yes.
是的。
Last quarter, indeed, memory and flash price grew more than 20%.
上個季度,內存和閃存價格確實上漲了 20% 以上。
In this quarter alone, we have seen an improvement, [net growth] 10%, will improve for the whole quarter, I hope.
僅在本季度,我們就看到了改善,[淨增長] 10%,我希望整個季度都會有所改善。
[Soon] the price [stays] high, and that's why we try to be conservative because for memory, for flash, ASP or some unknown factor.
[很快] 價格 [保持] 高位,這就是我們嘗試保守的原因,因為對於內存、閃存、ASP 或一些未知因素。
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
And David, just to add to what Charles was saying with regards to that; again, we are at the end of the technology refresh cycle, and we're coming into a brand new technology refresh cycle.
大衛,只是想補充一下查爾斯對此所說的話;同樣,我們正處於技術更新周期的末尾,我們正在進入一個全新的技術更新周期。
So typically at the end of the cycle, the pricing gets a little bit more -- less on the older technology.
因此,通常在周期結束時,舊技術的定價會多一點——少一點。
David Ryzhik - Associate
David Ryzhik - Associate
And so I guess, the follow-up would be; should we expect, given that you're entering the product cycle, the favorable margin impact, should we expect Q-over-Q increase in gross margins?
所以我想,後續行動將是;鑑於您正在進入產品週期,我們是否應該期待有利的利潤率影響,我們是否應該期待毛利率的 Q-over-Q 增長?
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Yes.
是的。
I think the ramp for -- of the product cycle we talked before is probably going to be towards the December quarter.
我認為我們之前談到的產品週期的斜坡可能會在 12 月季度出現。
It usually takes something like 2 quarters to ramp the production to the new chipset.

As you look in the full year out, and you've talked about Supermicro 3.0, is there -- this diversification that you're now enjoying, is there a new focus for the company?
當你回顧全年時,你談到了 Supermicro 3.0,你現在享受的這種多元化,公司是否有新的重點?
Or is diversification really the name of the game as we look going forward?

Indeed, as you may know, we invested a lot, like in last 3 years, we grew 60% engineering manpower.
事實上,正如你所知,我們投入了很多,就像在過去 3 年裡,我們增加了 60% 的工程人力。
That's why we are able to implement our global service team, and we are able to make our server storage data center management software completed and ready.
這就是為什麼我們能夠實施我們的全球服務團隊,並且我們能夠完成並準備好我們的服務器存儲數據中心管理軟件。
So with all those ready, we are able to continue to gain enterprise customers.
因此,在所有這些準備就緒的情況下,我們能夠繼續獲得企業客戶。
Indeed, in the last 12 months, we won more than 15 large enterprise customers.
事實上,在過去的 12 個月裡,我們贏得了超過 15 個大型企業客戶。
And this year, we believe we will accelerate the large enterprise customer [revenue].
而今年,我們相信我們將加速大型企業客戶的 [收入]。
That means we are truly ready -- function like a true Tier 1 company with product advantage and with a completed solution, including service.

And I guess, maybe a technical question.
我想,也許是一個技術問題。
Obviously, storage was a really strong performer in this past quarter, up significantly both year-on-year as well as sequentially.
顯然,存儲在上個季度表現非常強勁,同比和環比都有顯著增長。
In the past -- historical Super Micro, you guys used to ship a lot of JBODs basically.
過去——歷史上的 Super Micro,你們過去基本上都出貨過很多 JBOD。
Now you guys have a very strong NVMe product portfolio, and I'm curious as to how much of your storage solutions these days are solid-state as opposed to rotational?
現在你們擁有非常強大的 NVMe 產品組合,我很好奇你們現在有多少存儲解決方案是固態的而不是旋轉的?
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Indeed, last year, the whole year, we grew about 30% in storage system overall.
事實上,去年全年,我們在存儲系統方面的整體增長約為 30%。
And looking forward, we will continue to have a strong growth in storage, especially our NVMe base.
展望未來,我們將繼續在存儲方面實現強勁增長,尤其是我們的 NVMe 基礎。

Is there a margin difference?

If we normalize availability of NAND and DRAM, Howard, is there a significant difference in terms of this -- the gross margins that you guys can generate with these NVMe systems as opposed to the JBOD systems that you were shipping previously?
如果我們將 NAND 和 DRAM 的可用性標準化,霍華德,在這方面是否存在顯著差異 - 你們可以使用這些 NVMe 系統產生的毛利率與您之前運送的 JBOD 系統相比?
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Basically, NVMe new technology, we're supposed to have much better profit margin, however the shortage.
基本上,NVMe 新技術,我們應該有更好的利潤率,但是短缺。
And at the same time, we need much more volume because we are fastly growing.
與此同時,我們需要更多的數量,因為我們正在快速增長。
So in that case, we had to pay a premium to gain more volume.
因此,在那種情況下,我們必須支付溢價才能獲得更多銷量。
That's why margin was low.

We'll move to our next question from Nehal Chokshi with Maxim Group.

Two part question here.
這裡有兩部分問題。
So first, memory and NAND flash price increases for the quarter.
首先,本季度內存和 NAND 閃存價格上漲。
How much was it to you guys on a Q-over-Q basis?
Q-over-Q 對你們來說有多少?
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Well, as Charles mentioned earlier, we saw price increases around 20%.
好吧,正如查爾斯之前提到的,我們看到價格上漲了 20% 左右。
Within the commentary, I said that it had about 50 to 70 bps impact to our gross margins.
在評論中,我說它對我們的毛利率產生了大約 50 到 70 個基點的影響。
Nehal Sushil Chokshi - MD
Nehal Sushil Chokshi - MD
Okay.
好的。
And so I guess, there's some customers that did not accept price increases or you had an existing fixed-price contract.
所以我猜,有些客戶不接受價格上漲,或者你有現有的固定價格合同。
And the -- what I'm trying to get at is that, there must have been some percent of customers that didn't accept that.
而且——我想說的是,一定有一定比例的客戶不接受這一點。
And a, what is that percent?
還有,那個百分比是多少?
And then, b, it seems like, given the incremental revenue and then there was actually negative incremental EPS from what I can tell that this was actually a negative incremental gross margin business because they didn't accept the increased price.
然後,b,看起來,考慮到增量收入,然後實際上有負增量每股收益,據我所知,這實際上是一個負增量毛利率業務,因為他們不接受增加的價格。
So b, is that correct?
那麼b,這樣對嗎?
And then, if that is correct, why honor that contract?
然後,如果那是正確的,為什麼要履行該合同?
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Again, the contract was in place, it's expiring and being renegotiated.
同樣,合同已經到位,即將到期並正在重新談判。
So again, we had contracts there and it was terminated.
再一次,我們在那裡有合同,但合同被終止了。
But again, the volume went up and it did hurt us a bit as we mentioned earlier in our press releases.
但是,正如我們之前在新聞稿中提到的那樣,交易量再次上升,確實對我們造成了一些傷害。
We'll soon rectify it.
我們會盡快糾正它。

If I may, I'd like another follow-up question, just different topic.

The ASP per server really took off, it was up 43% year-over-year and 13% Q-over-Q.
每台服務器的 ASP 真正起飛,同比增長 43%,環比增長 13%。
What's behind this significant increase?
這種顯著增長的背後是什麼?
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Well, I think -- like I said, we're getting into our more full boxes now.
好吧,我想——就像我說的,我們現在正在進入更完整的盒子。
As Charles mentioned, we're building our breadth into the large enterprise-type customers, [data-type] customers, from taking full boxes.
正如 Charles 提到的那樣,我們正在通過全箱服務將我們的廣度擴展到大型企業型客戶,[數據類型] 客戶。
Previously, if you remember, our server solutions category had everything from barebones to complete server solutions.
以前,如果您還記得的話,我們的服務器解決方案類別包含從準系統到完整服務器解決方案的所有內容。
So we're now moving more into complete server solutions, including software and support services.

Okay.

My question for you guys is just taking a deeper look here at the data center business.
我對你們的問題只是更深入地了解數據中心業務。
Obviously, IBM was a tough comp in fiscal '17, but even if you, I think, exclude IBM out of the data center number, it was down this year in fiscal '17.
顯然,IBM 在 17 財年是一個強硬的競爭對手,但我認為,即使你將 IBM 排除在數據中心數量之外,它在 17 財年的數據中心數量也在下降。
Historically, the IDC business has been a good business for you guys.
從歷史上看,IDC 業務對你們來說一直是一項不錯的業務。
So what's going on there?
那麼那裡發生了什麼?
Even if you exclude IBM, it looks like things were down.
即使你排除 IBM,看起來情況也很糟糕。
Can this business -- can the IDC business grow in fiscal '18 at the same growth rate as the rest of the business?
這項業務 - IDC 業務能否在 18 財年以與其他業務相同的增長率增長?
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Yes, indeed, in last year, including last quarter, the major challenge to us was the [no NAND] memory.
是的,的確,在去年,包括上個季度,我們面臨的主要挑戰是[無 NAND] 內存。
Not just the price is high but, in lots of case, we had to wait for memory.
不僅價格高,而且在很多情況下,我們不得不等待內存。
So was no NAND memory in some tier, we had to wait for flash, so that kind of impact.
所以在某些層中沒有 NAND 內存,我們不得不等待閃存,所以那種影響。
That's why we have the best IDC, Internet data center business especially.
這就是為什麼我們擁有最好的 IDC,尤其是互聯網數據中心業務。
Alexander Kurtz - Senior Research Analyst
Alexander Kurtz - Senior Research Analyst
So memory specifically held up projects, Charles, is that, right?
所以記憶特別阻礙了項目,查爾斯,是嗎?

Your question again?
又是你的問題?
Alexander Kurtz - Senior Research Analyst
Alexander Kurtz - Senior Research Analyst
So memory impacted your ability to deliver on some opportunities in the IDC space, is that what you're saying?
因此,記憶力影響了您在 IDC 領域抓住某些機會的能力,您是這麼說的嗎?
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Charles Liang - Founder, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President
Part of the reason, but also because memory price is so high.
部分原因,也是因為內存價格實在是太高了。
And as you know, Internet data center profit margin basically more limited.
眾所周知,互聯網數據中心的利潤空間基本上比較有限。
That's why we have the best in that area.
這就是為什麼我們在該領域擁有最好的。
Alexander Kurtz - Senior Research Analyst
Alexander Kurtz - Senior Research Analyst
And just last question for Howard.
霍華德的最後一個問題。
I can get the storage number later, but what would stop you from getting back to like a 15%-plus gross margin exiting fiscal '18, Howard, assuming that memory does play out the way you think it does and you have Skylake kicking in, which always is helpful for you?
我稍後可以得到存儲數量,但是什麼會阻止你回到 18 財年結束時 15% 以上的毛利率,霍華德,假設內存確實按照你認為的方式發揮作用並且你有 Skylake 踢進來,這總是對你有幫助?
So why can't investors think about a 15%-plus kind of gross margin on exiting fiscal '18 if all those things were to come together?
那麼,如果所有這些因素結合在一起,為什麼投資者不能考慮在退出 18 財年時獲得 15% 以上的毛利率呢?
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
Howard Hideshima - CFO and SVP
I think, like, what we've talked about here, Alex, we've got a number of investments, we're going to be leveraging off our investments, being better on our operational efficiencies and operating expenses.
我想,就像我們在這裡談論的那樣,亞歷克斯,我們有很多投資,我們將利用我們的投資,更好地提高我們的運營效率和運營費用。
So obviously, there are a lot of opportunities for us to grow that margin through this year, especially with the refresh cycle coming.
很明顯,我們有很多機會在今年增加利潤率,特別是隨著更新周期的到來。
With regard to -- just sort of back on the next-gen, it was about 76% year-over-year growth.
關於 - 只是回到下一代,同比增長約 76%。

And you guys still feel that -- you did have that 1 vendor that was acquired by a larger OEM, and that hasn't impacted your emerging storage business yet?

Indeed, all of them start deployment in last year, and around half of them started to move on June quarter.
事實上,他們都在去年開始部署,其中大約一半在 6 月季度開始搬遷。
But because it's new, that's why the first deployment is not as big.
但因為它是新的,所以第一次部署沒有那麼大。
But kind of relatively a very good size though.

And so effectively, I think there was like a 170% Q-over-Q increase in the enterprise revenue.
如此有效,我認為企業收入 Q-over-Q 增長了 170%。
Was that because of all these new large-scale customers?
是因為所有這些新的大型客戶嗎?

你目前對事情何時恢復正常的看法,你在一個沒有供應限制的季度執行的地方,你期望什麼時候?

Basically, the memory and flash shortage problem will be getting better from now on I believe.
基本上,內存和閃存不足的問題我相信從現在開始會好起來的。

Okay.
好的。
And then the final question, I'm sorry to go back to it, but the enterprise business growing as much as it is, is pretty remarkable.
然後是最後一個問題,很抱歉回到它,但是企業業務的增長如此之快,非常了不起。
As that grows and becomes a larger potential piece of your overall business, how do we think about the margin profile of that vertical relative to the margin of your overall business today, say, relative to the 13.5% growth?
隨著它的增長並成為您整體業務中更大的潛在部分,我們如何看待該垂直領域相對於您今天整體業務的利潤率的利潤率,比如說,相對於 13.5% 的增長?
I'm just trying to understand how we should think about that given what should be a positive mix of software, maybe services, that are wrapped around that traditional enterprise customer base?
我只是想了解我們應該如何考慮這個問題,因為什麼應該是圍繞傳統企業客戶群的軟件(也許是服務)的積極組合?

Yes, basically, enterprise customer are more picky with quality of solutions, so the margin will be slightly better at least.
是的,基本上,企業客戶對解決方案的質量更挑剔,所以利潤至少會稍微好一點。
