Yunji Inc. isn't one of the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds at the end of the third quarter (see the details here).

Operator: Good morning, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by, and welcome to Yunji's Fourth Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call. With us today are Mr. Shanglue Xiao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Yeqing Cui, Senior Financial Director; and Ms. Kaye Liu, Investor Relations Director of the company. As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. Now I would like to hand the conference over to our first speaker today, Ms. Kaye Liu, IRD of Yunji. Please go ahead, ma'am.

Kaye Liu: Hello, everyone. Welcome to our fourth quarter 2023 earnings call. Before we start, please note that this call will contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on our current expectations and current market operating conditions and relate to events that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors of Yunji’s industry. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminologies such as will, expect, anticipate, continue or other similar expressions. For a detailed discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to our latest document filed with the U.S. SEC. Any forward-looking statements that we make on this call are based on assumptions as of today and are expressly qualified entirely by cautionary statements, risk factors and details of the company filing with the SEC.

Yunji do not undertake any obligation to update these statements expect as required under applicable law. With that, I will now turn over to Shanglue Xiao, Chairman and CEO of Yunji.

Shanglue Xiao: Hello, everyone. Welcome to Yunji's 2023 earnings call. During 2023 and in particularly in the fourth quarter's peak e-commerce promotion season, the prevailing trend relatively to the market was intense price competition. Major e-commerce and live streaming platforms adopted low-price strategies alone fostering a bargain hunting mindset among consumers. However, Yunji is not really an e-commerce platform. We are also a brand building and a sales service provider. We understand the long-term repercussions of relying on low pricing strategies, which can lower the brand identity over time. The value we deliver to users was in our cost-effective products with low return rates as well as in minimizing decision-making and wait times for our users.
