Without further ado, I'll now turn over the call to Nick. Nick, please go ahead. Thank you, Don. Hello, everyone, thanks for joining the call. On behalf of our CEO, I would like to first address our attendees with the following opening remark. We started the year of 2023 with another strong quarterly business and financial performance. During the first quarter of 2023, the company continued to advance with our highly demanding project delivery schedule. Demand from existing clients remained healthy and ramp-up was as scheduled. As a result, we continue to grow our top and bottom line, with Adjusted EBITDA beating market consensus for 11 consecutive quarters. Notably, on the demand side, we hold a very positive view on how AIGC-related development, such as machine learning, large language models, and AI generally, should drive industry demand in the long term. While we have also noticed the recent effort of our existing client in incorporating such new technology into their current product lines. In the first quarter, we have secured certain contracts for high-density cabinet deployment, and we believe our unique supply model is capable of accommodating more of these AIGC-related demand in the future. The key features of our business model are our energy-abundant region layout and our in-house full-stack capabilities. We have accumulated actual practical practice experience in deploying high-density cabinets in our existing campuses, with various cooling technologies suited, tested, and applied in our data centers. In our overseas business, the delivery of phase two and three of the over 100 MW MY06 Johor project remained a key focus, and we are devoting dedicated resources to ensure the timely delivery. We remain confident with the capacity expansion target in the year 2023. A healthy momentum in our cornerstone hyperscale business continue to serve as solid fundamentals for our consideration on future business diversification. On Slide 4, we added one new project, or an additional 27 MW of new capacity in the first quarter, bringing our total capacity to 898 MW and total number of data centers to 33. We put one hyperscale data center into service in Zhangjiakou City, bringing our total in-service capacity to 639 MW, an increase of 26 MW during the quarter. Demand and ramp-up remained healthy. We received an additional client commitment of 16 MW in the first quarter, bringing our total contracted and IOI capacity to 816 MW, leading to a client commitment rate of 91% of our total capacity. We added 12 MW of utilized capacity in the quarter, bringing our total utilized capacity to 537 MW, and maintained a solid utilization rate of 84%. We remain fully committed to the mission of efficiently converting electric power into computing power by sticking to the energy side layout, leveraging our in-house full-stack capabilities in pursuit of CapEx and OpEx efficiency.... and offering our clients quality and reliable data center solutions. Our supply side advantages gained widespread recognition and acclaim from a variety of prestigious awarding bodies. Some of our campuses in Shanxi Province, Hebei Province, as well as in Yangtze River Delta region, have recently won global and national level awards for their unique performance in design and construction, energy efficiency, and operation management. Our top and bottom line momentum remains strong. Revenue in the first quarter was RMB 1,443.5 million, representing a 56.8% year-over-year growth. Adjusted EBITDA grew by 64.6% year-over-year to RMB 813.8 million, and have been for 11 consecutive quarters, beating market consensus. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached new high of 56.4%. Net income grew by 167.5% year-over-year to RMB 253 million, with a net margin of 17.5%. Finally, given the current business momentum, we reiterated our full year revenue guidance range with very positive outlook. Raised our Adjusted EBITDA guidance range by 3.6% at midpoint, the new guidance range is now between RMB 3.1 billion-RMB 3.22 billion. Let's go into details and first take a close look at project level delivery and construction on Slide 7 to 9. We adhere to our energy side strategy and are consistently working on a highly demanding schedule to ensure timely delivery of its resources to our clients. Our current delivery plan remains on schedule. In the first quarter, we put one project into service in mainland China with a total capacity of 26 MW. This project is CN19, located in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei, supporting one of our key international clients. The project utilization rate reached 14% in the first quarter of its operations. We started construction of 1 new hyperscale project during the first quarter, CN22, with a design capacity of 28 MW. It's located in one of our campuses in Zhangjiakou. It is scheduled for delivery starting from the second quarter of 2024, and is intended for one of the key international clients. The project is currently 28% contracted. With the above changes during the quarter, as you can see on Slide 9, we have brought our total capacity up by 27 MW, reaching 898 MW by the end of the first quarter, with a 639 MW in service and a 258 MW under construction. Of the under construction capacity by quarter end, we currently expect 188 MW to be delivered in 2023, and our teams in China and overseas are working diligently to ensure our supply readiness. Now, regarding demand on Slide 10. We continue to see additional demand coming from our existing clients, supporting their existing and potentially new business initiatives in our northern and eastern China campuses. Our total client commitment increased by 16 MW in the first quarter. Specifically, for one of the key international clients, we received 8 MW contracted capacity for the new under construction project, CN22, and another 6 MW indication of interest on product CE01 and CE02. We have also secured a contracted capacity of around 2 MW for our existing Northern China project for the anchor client, and some of the capacity were intended for 20 kW high density cabinet deployment. Meanwhile, contracted capacity increased by 78 MW in the quarter, including 69 MW of IOI conversion from MY06 phase one, MY06 phase two in Johor, Malaysia, and MY03 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The aforementioned 8 MW contracted capacity for the new under construction project. Generally speaking, we are pleased with the momentum of our existing client base. There have been many exciting AI-related events takes place in this industry, and there have been news on how one of our existing clients has already successfully integrated AI into its product, resulting in significant business growth. We think our clients are among the potential leaders in this new AI era. As a data center company, the essence of what we need to care about really is whether our know-how are all the relevant solutions within the data center that help to host the servers. For example, energy sufficiency, power distribution, cooling technologies, et cetera, are ready for the new AI era. We believe Chindata is well positioned for the AIGC era. In addition to the aforementioned, the new contracted capacity, we have actually accumulated practically experience in deploying high-density cabinets from 20 kW to up to 50 kW per cabinet in our existing campuses. Our hyperscale model, characterized with energy site layout that ensures power sufficiency, and our in-house design and building system and equipment level, has enabled us to test and apply various cooling technologies suited for cabinets of different density, including immersion, liquid cooling, cold plate liquid cooling, waterless cooling, and indirect evaporative cooling, et cetera, in our campuses in China and overseas. The commitment status of our asset portfolio continues to look healthy. On Slide 12, for our existing 639 MW of in-service capacity, 95% was committed by clients in either contract or IOI by the end of the first quarter. This is relatively stable compared to 96% in the previous quarter, and 95% in the same quarter last year. For our total capacity on Slide 12, the commitment ratio was 91% at the end of the first quarter, compared with the 92% in the previous quarter, and at 88% in the same quarter last year. On top of healthy demand and our differentiated client base, and as we have been emphasizing, our unique contract profile brings long-term business visibility. By the end of the first quarter, over 95% of our contracts were for 10-year contract terms or longer, leading to a weighted average remaining terms of co-current contracted capacity of 8.4 years, and we expect less than 6% of our existing contracted capacity to expire until the end of 2027. Now, coming to customer move-in on Slide 14. Our move-in pace is healthy and in line with our schedule. We added 12 MW of utilized capacity in the first quarter, bringing our total utilized capacity to 537 MW, compared with 344 MW in the same quarter last year. This represents 56.1% year-over-year growth. Quarterly move-in was contributed by projects in our Northern China campuses, supporting the anchor client, one of the international clients, and the Chinese cloud client, as well by our overseas project in India, supporting the other international client. These quarterly dynamics lead to a quarter and utilization ratio of 84%, compared with the 69% in the same quarter last year. Looking further at the mix of utilization ratio by project and geography on Slide 15. By geography, overseas business made up a similar share compared to the previous quarter, at around 9%-10% of total utilized capacity. By project, 16 out of the existing 25 in-service projects, or 64% of them, are now at 90% utilization or above, demonstrating that the majority of our projects have reached a mature stage with quite healthy demand. The performance of our hyperscale campuses in design and construction, energy efficiency, and operation management, have gained wider recognition, winning global and national awards respectively. On Slide 16, in April 2023, our Lingqiu campus in Shanxi Province was honored with the Data Center Design and Construction Award at the 2023 Datacloud Global Awards. These awards are highly prestigious within the spheres of data centers, cloud computing, edge computing, and other critical IT infrastructure. This is the second time we have received such a distinguished accolade. Lingqiu campus is the largest single hyperscale data campus in the Asia-Pacific region, maintains an annual power usage efficiency, or PUE, of 1.16. On Slide 17, in March 2023, our Donghuayuan campus in Zhangjiakou was selected for the 2022 National New Data Center and National Green Data Center list by Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Donghuayuan campus is operating at an annual PUE of 1.14, and it is the second consecutive year that we have made onto the list, demonstrating our unique performance in data center energy efficiency, operation management, and data security. On Slide 18, in April 2023, our Nantong campus in Jiangsu Province was awarded the prestigious DCOS 2021 certification, which was the first Chinese enterprise to obtain the DCOS 2021 standardization certification. The DCOS standard is widely recognized in the data center industry in Southeast Asia and globally as an important indicator of operational management standardization. The company is currently utilizing its Kunpeng IDC operating and management system to manage its data center campus, achieving real-time monitoring of its key data center assets and enhanced maintenance efficiency. With that, I have concluded my part, and I will turn to Zoe, our Senior Vice President, for the details of our financial performance. Zoe, please. Thank you, Nick. Let me walk you through our quarterly financial performance. Generally speaking, we've maintained a very healthy financial momentum in the first quarter of 2023. Our revenue growth in the first quarter remained healthy, recording a 56.8% year-over-year to reach RMB 1,443.5 million, which is in line with the 55.9% year-over-year increase in utilized capacity. Overseas business contributed to 9% of total utilized capacity in the first quarter, a similar level to the previous quarter. Looking further down on Slide 25, total cost of revenue in the first quarter increased by 64.2% to RMB 820.3 million, from RMB 499.6 million in the same period of 2022, mainly driven by increase in utility costs and depreciation and amortization expenses. Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023 decreased by 1.4% year-over-year to RMB 167.1 million. Specifically, selling and marketing expenses in the first quarter of 2023 slightly decreased by 4.3% year-over-year to RMB 21.4 million, primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2023 decreased by 5.5% year-over-year to RMB 120.8 million, primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense. Research and development cost expenses in the first quarter of 2023 increased by 29.5% year-over-year to RMB 24.9 million, primarily due to increase in R&D personnel and higher share-based compensation expense. As a result of this, operating income in the first quarter of 2023 increased by 81.3% to RMB 456.1 million, and recorded an operating income margin of 31.6%, a new high. Net income in the first quarter of 2023 increased by 167.5% to RMB 253 million, with a net margin of 17.5%, compared with 10.3% in the same period of 2022, and 8.4% in the fourth quarter of 2022. A breakdown of core costs and expense item on Slide 26. With the growth of our business and the stringent cost control, we continue to see economy of scale that pushed down our cost and expense percentage of revenue. Maintenance and other costs was 6.6% of revenue in the first quarter, 2 percentage points lower than the previous quarter. Adjusted SG&A was 6.8% of revenue, 1.5 percentage point lower than the previous quarter. We are not seeing utility price changing in the regions that we are operating, and utility costs made up a similar level of revenue in the first quarter. With such hyperscale business model and the stringent cost control effort, as you can see on Slide 27, Adjusted EBITDA recorded a 64.6% year-over-year growth or 12.9% quarter-over-quarter growth to reach RMB 813.8 million, and a historical high margin of 56.4%. Adjusted net income increased by 77.9% year-over-year in the first quarter to RMB 315.8 million, at a margin of 21.9%. Details in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation on the EBITDA and the net income would be available in our 6-K filing of the appendix in our IR PPT. On Slide 28, given the highly demanding delivery schedule, we continue to incur similar level of CapEx during the first quarter that covered existing under construction projects, as well as some initial investments in potential pipeline projects with good certainty. CapEx in the first quarter was RMB 1,663.9 million, compared with RMB 1,354.6 million in the previous quarter. On Slide 29, our operating cash flow continued to recover and improve following the COVID-19 epidemic in 2022 and a one-off client system upgrade. Operating cash flow in the first quarter was RMB 693.3 million, which is around 85% of our Adjusted EBITDA, compared with RMB 389.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Financing cash flow was RMB 2,713.3 million in the first quarter. Our ongoing project financing, as well as US dollar senior notes offering completed in February, have ensured the funding flexibility that we need for project development. With this, we ended up with a total cash position of RMB 5,769.3 million and a net debt position of RMB 5,245.4 million. Our leverage and coverage ratios remain in a reasonable and healthy range. On Slide 30, net debt to last 12 months Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 1.9 by end of first quarter, compared with 1.8 in the previous quarter. Given the ordinary drawdown of project financing, as well as one-off issuance of the senior notes, our total debt to last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA ended up at 4.1 in the quarter, compared to 3.5 in the previous quarter and 3.4 in the same quarter in 2022. On coverage ratio, the consistent growth in Adjusted EBITDA led to a last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA to interest ratio at 8.1, compared with 7.9 in the previous quarter, and last twelve months funds from operating remaining at around 20% of total debt. Capital structure is healthy, with total debt to capital ratio at 49.7%, compared with 43.1% in the previous quarter. The healthy momentum on EBITDA growth, based on rapid ramp-up of our client, continue to support a strong return profile of the company. With a 84% IT capacity utilization ratio by the end of the first quarter, we are seeing a pre-tax ROIC of 18.7%, compared with 17.6% in the previous quarter, and 15.7% in the same quarter last year. Finally, based on the company's current and preliminary views on the market and operational conditions, we reiterated our 2023 revenue guidance in the range of RMB 5,880 million- RMB 8,080 million. raised our 2023 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the range of RMB 3,100 million-RMB 3,220 million, which is a 3.6% increase at midpoint compared with the previous rate. These forecasts reflect the company's preliminary views, which are subject to change. This concludes our prepared remarks for today. Operator, we are now ready to take questions. Thank you. We'll now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question on the phone, please press star one one and wait for your name to be announced. If you'd like to cancel your request, you can also press the hash or pound key. When asking the question, please state your question in Chinese first, then repeat your question in English for the convenience of everyone in the call. Please ask one question at a time. One moment for the first question. First question comes from the line of Yang Liu from Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead. Congratulations on the strong results. If I can only have one question, I would like to ask about the EBITDA margin because you revised up the EBITDA by almost RMB 100 million compared with the forecast three months ago. Could you please share more about what is the saving or where the saving comes from? I see that maintenance and other costs actually is around far below the revenue growth. That could be one in my view. I would like to ask about that. From the management perspective, where is the margin upside come from? Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, Yang, for the great questions. I think, yeah, I think there's a couple of reasons. Number one is actually the customer moving pace is either on schedule or get us accelerated, you know, than we expected before. That's actually contributed in a significant, I think, I think EBITDA margin improvement on the top line. Our bottom line is that we in our initial guidance and budget for the full year, we did reserve some room for some potential diesel consumptions in the first half of this year just as a provision. At the time, we think that there might be some public substation revamping activities to take place in Zhangjiakou areas of Hebei province. It didn't happen in Q1. As it doesn't happen, so therefore, we can release some news from the Q1. This is actually the second, the big reason. The third reason is actually like you see, and like we have been saying in the past, that we continue to see the economy of scale playing a huge part into our cost savings. And the discipline, also, the discipline we have on the cost control company-wide under the new leadership, you know, directions, are very effective. This effective cost control, combined with the better economy of scale, help to achieve a lower cost and expenses basis. At the same time, we are not reducing our necessary business activities, including R&D and sales marketing at all. Hope I answer your questions. Yes, thank you. Thank you for the questions. Next questions, one moment, please. Next up, we have the line from Sara Wang from UBS. Please go ahead. Hi, thank you for the opportunity to ask a question. Again, congratulations on the solid results. Just a quick one on the net adds in capacity committed or utilized. I noticed that the net adds of megawatts in both metrics is, it seems slightly lower than the previous four or five quarters. May I ask if this year, no matter if it's sales or net adds in megawatts utilized, will be more back-ended loaded than last year? Thank you, Sara. Yes, most of the project, new product delivery is gonna take place in the second half of this year. We believe that there is some more upside to our full year top line revenue guidance with upcoming on time product delivery, as well as some potential incremental, the project we may take from the customers. Under our very efficient delivery model, hopefully, we can beat the upper limit of the revenue guidance range. You know, that's why when we say in the opening remark, we say we're gonna reiterate our top full year revenue, but with a very positive outlook. Obviously, the AI driven AI-related demand, you know, will play a little bit part this year as well. Got it. Just a quick one on the net adds in, megawatts utilized. Previously, we were saying something about 120 MW-150 MW for the full year. Are we still sticking to this number, or we actually are revising up this target? Yes, we are still sticking with this range, 120 MW-150 MW. part of the confidence come from the fact that we already start to see a very early but clear sign of AIGC-related business coming from our existing clients. That's a good news for us. Got it. Thank you. Thank you for the questions. One moment for the next questions. Next up, we have the line from Mingran Li from CICC. Please ask your question. Hi, management. Thanks for taking my question, congrats on the strong performance. I have a question on the energy side, because we note that recently some local government released the policies which aim to promote the integration of energy storage system and data center. What's your view on this trend, and any future strategy about this? Thanks. Thank you, [Echo]. I'm actually glad you bring out this energy-related questions, because everybody knows that our mission and strategy are different from our peers. We are always try to find the most efficient way to convert electric power to computing power. Therefore, most of our data centers are located in energy and also renewable energy abundant regions, specifically in Hebei and Shanxi. Here is what we believe. What we believe is two or three years down the road, our data centers in these two places, like Hebei and Shanxi, would consume over roughly 50% of renewable power out of total power consumption. As a matter of fact, today, the renewable power generation in these two places have already account for over 60% of total power generation. The logic is this: to better use this abundant renewable power-... an appropriate amount of energy storage infrastructure needs to be in place in order to smooth out the fluctuation of a renewable energy supply and frequency curve. In the, in these regions, we have seen a significant investment by a lot of people in both renewable power generation and also the investment into the power storage facilities, alongside the power grid in these two regions. Obviously, our hyperscale data centers, as the most convenient and, I would say, efficient local users of this renewable power, in the same areas, will create a perfect scenario to do this, how to say in Chinese, 语 谋 合 处, or basically, the combination of power grid, plus renewable power generation, plus renewable power storage, and power usage by the IDC in the future. That's our view. Therefore, accordingly, our plan is to cooperate with the business partners in the power generation, renewable power generation and power storage areas, to better achieve our green data center objective, without too much investment from ourselves. Got it. Thanks. Thank you for the questions. One moment for the next question. Next question comes from the line of Anthony Leng from JP Morgan. Please go ahead. Hello, can you hear me clear? Yeah. Congratulations for pretty good financial performance. My question will be, given that the moving rate just delivered previously, could we give more color on, is this revenue guidance, and you say the upper limit revenue guidance likely to attend, is this included the potential incremental AIGC demand, or this is not included in this case? Thank you. This is my first question. It's hard to tell, but I would say, in our current outlook, I would say that we already consider a scenario that around the second half of this year, we're gonna see some AI-related demand for the high-density cabinets from our existing clients gonna pick up. Therefore, there is opportunities that we're gonna beat our revenue range. So far, we only see a small, very small incremental demand in these sort of AI-related the business, from our anchor customers. I think they will become bigger, you know, because I know that both of our clients, you know, you know the name, right? ByteDance, Microsoft. We believe they are the leaders in this new ChatGPT and AIGC related trend. They are trendsetters, essentially. Once they launch their AIGC large language model computing system, I think we're gonna become their first of choice in both China and overseas. Got it. Understood. To follow up this question, just want to know about is there, knowing that it is very early stage for the AIGC demand, do we have any color on, like, the contribution of the revenue, something like this, to get the investor to know? Sorry, I missed the last part because your voice is not very clear. Okay. To repeat again: Is there any color to let us know about the AIGC-related contribution to the revenue or total capacity? Any color will be appreciated. Thank you. I think, here's the fact. I want to expand the topic on AI, on AI-related stuff a little bit. Basically, how to quantify these AI potential ChatGPT or AIGC demand. Basically, from demand side, we always closely watching our anchor customers. We believe they are the AIGC trendsetters or leaders. We basically estimate how much high-power GPU servers they're going to have or they already have. The second thing that we're gonna do, is actually we already have designed and deployed a more high-density cabinets in our data centers, located in our energy abounded regions in China to accommodate these demands. We count the usage of this high-density cabinets very closely. So far, as I just mentioned, we have already seen early but very clear sign of our anchor clients starting to deploy AI large model computing in some of our selected data centers with high-density cabinets as hosting units. One thing that we're proud of is that currently we are one of the very few IDC companies being able to offer high-density cabinets with the range from 20 kW- 50 kW per cabinets. They're gonna be primarily used to host powerful GPU servers. Please also, I want to, you know, give you two things to note. Number one is that the traditional low-density cabinets, such as the 3 kW or 5 kW cabinets, are not ideal for AI GPU servers hosting purpose, and they consume more powers. The second is the deployment of a high-density cabinets would require redesign of the traditional data centers with different cooling and transmission solutions. These two attributes play right into Chindata's customized hyperscale model, and we're doing it actively, just become ready for that. As for the quantified numbers, this is actually something you probably need to write it down. At the moment, roughly 5% cabinets in our data centers are high-density cabinets. We expect these cabinets to be utilized very quickly in the near and mid future. That's why we think with the ongoing, you know, you know, developments of AI large model computing by our clients, we're more likely, rather than not, to see steady incremental demands for these high-density cabinets for the foreseeable future from our anchor clients. However, over the long run, we firmly believe that two of our existing anchor clients, ByteDance, Microsoft, will be the clear leaders in this new ChatGPT and AIGC trend. Based on that, on these early signs of powerful GPU server deployment in our selected data centers by them, we have every reason to believe Chindata will catch the wave of ChatGPT, AIGC related demand in the future. Got it. Very clear and very helpful. Thank you. May I ask, I think I can ask a little bit more about the EBITDA. Could you tell us about the EBITDA expansion or trend in the following years, and also the e-electricity cost trend? It is my final question. You know, I think, as we keep saying, that, we actually have a unique hyperscale business model, that's basically have a pretty concentrated infrastructure and facility built in concentrated locations. That give us a huge advantage in terms of securing a better and abundant power, traditional power and renewable power supply at very low cost, you know, in these regions. That's point one. Point number two, you know, the economy of scale gonna drive down the per unit or percentage-based, the fixed nature of the cost, and including maintenance, operational cost, and also other expenses like sales, marketing, and research and development. As you can see, what happened in the past, 36 months, in the past, three years, every 100 MW almost gonna give you, like, a 3% or 4% of savings on the cost and expenses. That's why we think in the future, although we will not give you any official guidance for the coming years, especially 2024, 2025. By following this logic, you're gonna see our EBITDA margin gonna fall right in a very healthy range between the 50%-55%. I would put the. Got it. Thank you. Thank you very much. I will back to the queue now. Thank you for the questions. Our next question comes from the line of Edison Lee from Jefferies. Please go ahead. Hey. Hi, Nick. Thank you very much for taking my question, and congrats on the results. I have two questions. Number one is that for your raised guidance for this year, still implies only 24% EBITDA growth in the next three quarters on a year-over-year basis, and also the implied EBITDA margin is only 52%. Other than being conservative, are there any particular reasons that you think the EBITDA growth will be a lot slower than first quarter? That's my first question. Number two is, on your operating costs in the first quarter, it's actually down a little bit on a year-over-year basis. Is that absolute level a sustainable level for the rest of the year? Thanks. I think, yeah, a good question. I think, you know, as I explained, that for the full year budget, 2023 budget, we do reserve some room for some potential diesel consumption as a provision, as there might be some public substation revamping to take place in Hebei province in the coming quarters. Whether it's going to be a first quarter, second quarter, or third quarter in summertime, we don't know. We basically will see once it happens. It may not happen, even when that revamping project happens. By the way, that project is completely conducted by the government. Even that happens, I don't think, you know, it's going to be absolutely a hit to our to our the operation. We don't necessarily have to run this diesel burning. In our budget, we do budget for this potential, you know, disruption from regular power supply from the power grid in Hebei. That's why you see in the coming quarters, our EBITDA margin is a little bit lower. If it doesn't happen, or even it happens, it doesn't, you know, create any impact to us, I think we're definitely gonna release them as good news to our bottom line. You know, in terms of operating cost, basically, you know, when we do the budget on a quarter-by-quarter basis, that element, cost element, include some timely hiring for some, you know, maintenance people, operating people, some business travel. Obviously, the pace is lag behind a little bit, so maybe some of the expenses or the cost may be a push forward to the coming quarters, but it doesn't impact my full year optimism on both top line and bottom line, for sure. Hey, Nick, can I follow up by asking about this, grid revamp? If it's gonna happen, how long do you think it's gonna take? I think it's gonna be, probably a couple of weeks. Oh, a couple of weeks. Okay. That couple of weeks will be 100% backed up by diesel? Not really 100%. Maybe some of our data center in Zhangjiakou will be impacted, but we don't know. We don't know yet. Based on our pattern of forecasting things, you can see there's a lot of there has been a conservatism built into in this estimation. Therefore, I think anything in reality happens, we think gonna be better than our worst case scenario, which we built into our budget. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for the questions. Once again, to ask question, please press star one one and wait for your name to be announced. Oh, by the way, the other thing is that just like the, our, finance VP, Zoe mentioned, one thing haven't happened in this year is actually the utility cost and power tariff remain very stable. We believe that there unlikely will be any power tariff hike in the summertime this year, you know, like it happened in the past, because of the sufficient supply of power in the regions. Thank you. We have a follow-up questions from the line of Yang Liu from Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead. Yeah, thanks for the opportunity to ask another question. I see that your operating cash flow rebounded a lot this quarter, back to a pretty normal range. Do you think that this kind of a normalization is already behind us or this kind of not far or operating actual, largely similar EBITDA trend will continue in the next few quarters? There's further room to see this kind of a normalization of cash flow? What's your view- Yeah, I think. ....on the future receivable days, trend? Thank you. I think the receivable, accounts receivable, have turned back to normalization already. I think, you know, as you can see from the first quarter, the operating cash flow performance is much better than the Q4 of 2022, and much, much better than the Q3 2022. Because of the one time, the ERP or system upgrade issues, you know, faced by our anchor client has been solved. I expect that moving forward in the following quarters, everything will go back to normal. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for the questions. Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our conference today. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect your lines.
