　　It takes some time for Taiwanese businessmen to digest some of the policies or practices introduced by the mainland, so in this platform, we hope to help them interpret, and then discuss with them the latest direction. I think this is what our platform should do Of course, it is the Taiwanese businessmen themselves who really have to work hard.
