Question: Shinji Moriyuki - SBI Securities Co., Ltd., Research Division - Analyst
: I have 2 questions. The first question, related to the margin of the Enterprise business. You said that there are contracts which are being accumulated,
but there is a huge difference between the Consumer business and the Enterprise business. So considering the improvement in the profitability
of the solution business, et cetera, I think that the margin would be improved quickly. What is your view?
Question: Shinji Moriyuki - SBI Securities Co., Ltd., Research Division - Analyst
: So next fiscal year, the marketing, even if with the marketing costs, you would be able to improve the margin?
Question: Shinji Moriyuki - SBI Securities Co., Ltd., Research Division - Analyst
: Understood. My second question is related to LINE business. It is still in the red ink with various types of businesses. I think that the LINE business
is involved in the future strategy. But with that, would the LINE business be contributing to the profitability next fiscal year? Or would it still be in
the investment stage and there will be red ink?
Question: Shinji Moriyuki - SBI Securities Co., Ltd., Research Division - Analyst
: So sorry for asking that question.
