Thank you very much.

Because you are so famous.

Just a few words.

Just. Work hard.

My last request is, I would like to ask you. Can I have very short message from you to our employees? [laughs]

Yes. We can be like that way.

Real diversity.

Yes. What kind of impression do you have on Japan? I mean, not Japan as a country. Digital in Japan.

Then, we can make our life much more easier, not only for me, but much, much older people or handicapped persons. Many things we can contribute to the society. SDGs is too big for us. We can have that achievement by ourselves. We can do together.

Of course. Talking about the cloud, of course, networking is…We cannot avoid to have that. Then, to connect the machines and like you said the people. Then, that’s the life. All the industry should help our life. That’s the concept of the economy.

Then lastly, maybe AI or something like that. Maybe the concept should be DX. Then, we can talk about DX. [laughs] We have to have a good system. Maybe we call it Cloud or whatever.

Also, you mentioned digital transformation. Yes. The DX is still a buzzword in Japan. It’s amazing, but making some progress every year. This is my personal opinion, though. Maybe we have to have a good cloud system first. Then, maybe we should, how to say it? We should integrate the ...

I’m not an engineer, [laughs] so I’m not a technologist. I’m very interested in using those technologies and doing business. Most of the companies in Japan should use that in the near future.

One of the solutions should be using that technology more and more in Japan. If we can collaborate with each other, that might be a very realistic solution.

As a business, business people, I don’t like that. There should be many issues we have to overcome. Maybe in Japan…Japan has to utilize the laws a lot because there is less people. [laughs] The population is getting smaller and smaller. That’s a very serious issue for us.

Like ahead of us. Like deep fake or who can control those generation AI? [laughs] Maybe between countries. China versus US or Japan and somewhere. Political issues will be involved which I don’t like.

Using AI. Not only generation AI, but maybe that might have very strong power. Already they have, I think. [laughs] Maybe tomorrow, next month the power will become stronger and stronger. At the symptoms, of course, we can see many, many problems.

The second one, I think we can do many, many things with Taiwan or Korea companies. Let’s say companies. I am very interested in doing something AI.

Not like that.

Not yet.

We are doing a lot of business with NTD, or KDDI and the Softbank and other take on company. First of all, they have the license. We will have to do, by ourselves but at the same time we have a good realtionship to the local government, or the central ...

Your first question, I’m a little bit afraid I can’t have the correct and the right answer to your question. In Japan local 5G, is not that popular. I would say, not yet.

I personally think I want to do more business with Taiwanese companies and also Korean companies, because we are neighbors. [laughs] Many of the Japanese people, frankly speaking, are looking at the US companies. Of course, we introduced a lot of services and softwares from US to Japanese market, and ...

Recently, I started fighting internally and domestic market in Japan. That’s a stupid thing. If you look at the future, with Beijing, and less people, labor shortage, many, many issues are already exist. We have to take that more seriously.

Hichki-san a bit exaggerated, but Itochu is not that big enterprise. Actually, including ASEAN, we are doing business globally, internationally. If I talk about CTC specifically, our business coming from abroad is only 10 percent or something like that, very small. But it’s OK. That means we can much room ...

You mean also the number of engineers are…

Same in Taiwan?

We know in US, digitalization is very important to each enterprise. Most of the big enterprise are aiming to become more insourced. They’re focusing on insourcing. They have a lot of people who are engineers, who have some high skills. In Japan, still…How should I say? Many of the companies ...

For four years. We are introducing their technology to many Japanese market. That will become more bigger business in Japan. We’d like to enhance the business to grow, of course, faster. Before that, we are called SIer [laughs] in Japan. Is there any SIers like us in Taiwan?

We have been doing business with him for three or four years. Four?

JD-san is our very important partner here in Taiwan.

JD-san?

Thank you very much.
