They're a bit... 05:51.739 --> 05:53.179 dirty. 05:53.270 --> 05:55.829 Then do you not mind if CGM monopolizes the Chinese market? 05:57.685 --> 06:03.840 A Bible parable tells of workers starting in the morning and in the evening. 06:03.939 --> 06:06.772 Have you heard of it? 06:06.870 --> 06:07.869 Ah, yes. 06:07.870 --> 06:11.938 You mean the story where the master pays both workers the exact same wage? 06:12.623 --> 06:14.508 There would be complaints. 06:14.594 --> 06:17.163 Because they worked different hours but received the same pay. 06:17.849 --> 06:21.104 When the morning worker complained, the master said, 06:21.790 --> 06:25.050 "I already gave you what I promised, so why are you complaining?" 06:27.370 --> 06:30.490 We are already doing our given work and receiving our given compensation. 06:30.578 --> 06:36.275 It doesn't matter to us where CGM expands or how much they earn. 06:37.076 --> 06:40.369 Then what if the evening worker 06:40.457 --> 06:43.796 takes all the wages of the morning worker? Would you still not mind? 06:45.041 --> 06:49.491 Currently, over 60 to 70% of the people buying goods from MANTOVA 06:49.581 --> 06:52.384 are likely from Korea, China, Japan, and East Asia. 06:52.473 --> 06:55.321 And among them, the proportion from China is overwhelmingly high. 06:55.410 --> 06:59.089 If CGM sets up a warehouse in China, 06:59.090 --> 07:03.161 would people in Guangzhou and Yiwu have any reason to trade with MANTOVA? 07:03.162 --> 07:06.998 If CGM enters China, MANTOVA won't just lose the Chinese market, 07:06.999 --> 07:09.149 you will lose the entire East Asian market. 07:11.246 --> 07:15.535 How much of our business do you think retail merchants account for? 07:16.490 --> 07:18.670 That is not enough of a reason for us to go to war with CGM. 07:19.670 --> 07:21.129 The war has already begun. 07:22.390 --> 07:25.809 We are simply asking MANTOVA to join the fight. 07:28.250 --> 07:30.818 I think I am going to need some time to think about this. 07:30.904 --> 07:33.429 Yes, of course we should give you time. 07:33.430 --> 07:37.210 But could we get a rough idea of the deadline? 07:37.211 --> 07:40.269 It won't take long.
