8. Zhang Yongchang, Vice President of Himalaya: The cash flow is quite good, and there is not such a strong demand for listing and fundraising.
Zhang Yongchang, vice president of Himalaya, said that the problem we have always wanted to solve is the sinking of users, because it is still relatively high-tech and concentrated in first-and second-tier cities. He said that we have been rumored (listed) and have not admitted it. In fact, our cash flow is quite good, and there is no such strong demand for listing and fundraising. At this stage, we don’t care much about whether it is profitable, because even if it is profitable, we have to invest in our content layout again. Our industry is still small, and the speed is still not fast enough, but faster.
