Ladies andgentlemen,
Good morning!
Today we cometogether to witness this exciting moment, of each of us, for each of us, and byeach of us. WE make GSX more attractive, respected and trustworthy. WE makeeach of us more confident, dedicated and powerful! WE make education betterthrough technology. WE make things happen! Let us express deep gratitude andindebtedness to our family, friends, colleagues, partners, media companions,investors, and last but not the least, our students and parents. They are themost important and irreplaceable part of WE and It is them that make WE becomea better WE!
There are fourtypes of people in the world. Those who make things happen. Those to whomthings happen to. Those who watch things happen. And those who doesn’t evenknow that things are happening. I am proud to say that WE are those who makethings happen! We are so fortunate to be riding on the explosive growth inonline education and we will do everything in our power to grasp thisopportunity.
Long before wecame to IPO, our success has been all about customer success, which means toguarantee the most experienced teachers, the most dedicated partners, buildingtrust and engagement, delivering the best learning experience, and achievingthe best learning results. After our IPO, it is still these exact same thingsthat matter the most to us. It is our intense focus on our customers that hasled GSX to become the first Chinese online K12 IPO on the NYSE. We believe thatif we continue to carry this customer focus to the extreme, we will achieveeven more.
With great powercomes great responsibility. When we were kids, what we aspired to is making adifference in our family. When we begin to work, what we aspire to is making adifference in the workplace. When we look into the future, what we aspire to ismaking a difference in China’s online education sector. We are obliged to takethe responsibility for our mission to make education better through technologyand devoted to being the role model with the following principles:
1. Always DAY 1.
2. Always customerobsession.
3.Always stayfoolish, stay hungry.
4.Always insist onthe highest standards.
5.Always dedicateto colleagues.
6.Always divedeeper and earn trust of others.
7.Always bevocally self critical.
8.Always deliverresults.
9.Always hold onto our honesty, down-to–earthness, proactiveness, and cooperation.
10.Always keep ourbeauty, hope, cheer, courage, and power.
Today is amilestone for GSX. And a lot of investors have been saying GSX is one of thebest providers of online live K12 large class after school tutoring, whichleads each of us to think:
1.Is it reallytrue?
2.Are we reallythe best?
3.Could we be thebest?
4.Can you prove toyourself that we are the best?
5.Can you prove toour students and parents that we are the best?
Today is a newstart for GSX. What we raise from investors today is not simply money, buttrust. What we receive from parents is not simply fees, but trust. Let usremain humble every year, every month, every day, every hour, every minute, andevery second. Let’s work hard to deserve the fortune, deserve the trust, anddeserve our being here.
Today is a newjourney for GSX. Starting from today, GSX will become a public company. Withthe mission to make education better through technology, we strive to become arespected institution of education. Always remember: we are of the students,for the students, and by the students. Now let us start to write more excitingchapters!
In the end, let meexpress even more gratitude to WE, including our former colleague and teammateswho no longer worked at GSX, to our family, to all those who cared about,supported and helped us, to the great times that we are in, and to our country.We’re truly grateful for everything.
Thank you and Ilove you three thousand.
早上好！
今天，我们一起来见证这一激动人心的时刻。这个属于我们，为了我们，并由我们创造的伟大时刻！是我们让跟谁学更有吸引力、更受尊敬、更被信任，是我们让互相更加自信、更加投入、更加强大，是我们通过科技让教育更美好！是我们让这一切发生！让我们向我们的家人、朋友、同侪、伙伴、媒体、投资者，以及最重要的，学生和家长们致以最深挚的感谢。你们是我们当中最重要也最不可取代的部分，也是你们，使我们有幸成为了更好的我们！
世界上有四种人：让事情发生的人，事情发生在他们身上的人，旁观事情发生的人，以及那些甚至不知道事情发生了的人。我可以很自豪地说，我们是那些让事情发生、让一切成为可能的人！我们是如此的幸运，赶上了在线教育的极速增长，我们会尽己所能抓住这一难得的机遇。
在我们上市之前，我们的成就从来都是百分之百来源于成就客户。成就客户意味着确保最有经验的老师、拥有最投入的伙伴、建立信任和参与度、提供最好的学习体验、以及达到最好的学习效果。在我们上市之后，我们最重视的也还是上面提到的这些。是我们对客户的高度专注，成就了我们成为第一家在美国上市的中国在线K12教育公司。我们相信，只要我们继续把成就客户做到极致，我们就能获得更大的成功！
能力越大，责任越大。当我们都还是孩童，我们立志在家庭中有所作为。当我们开始工作，我们立志在公司里有所作为。当我们展望未来，我们立志在中国的在线教育行业做出一番天地。我们有义务担起我们的责任，秉承我们“科技让教育更美好”的使命，致力于通过以下原则成为行业榜样：
1.永远第一天
2.永远专注于客户
4.永远坚持最高标准
5.永远为伙伴尽力
6.永远深挖业务、建立信任
7.永远自我批判
8.永远给出结果
今天是跟谁学的一个里程碑。很多投资者都说跟谁学是K12在线直播大班课公司里最好的一个，这不免令我们思考：
1.这是真的吗？
2.我们真的是最好的吗？
3.我们能不能成为最好？
4.我们能否向自己证明我们是最好的？
5.我们能否向学生和家长证明我们是最好的？
今天是跟谁学新的开始。我们今天从投资者中获得的不只是资金，而是信任。我们从家长获得的不只是学费，而是信任。让我们每年、每月、每天、每小时、每分每秒保持谦卑，让我们更加努力，努力配得上这份大运气、配得上这份信任、配得上我们在这里的每分每秒。
今天是跟谁学新的征程。从今天开始，跟谁学就是一家上市公司。秉持我们“科技让教育更美好”的使命，我们会努力成为令人尊敬的教育机构。永远记住：我们是属于学生、为了学生、成就学生的。让我们继续谱写更多令人激动的篇章！
最后，让我再次表达对我们的感激，包括已经离开的同事小伙伴，感谢我们的家人，感谢所有关心支持帮助鼓励我们的人，感谢我们所处的伟大时代，感谢我们的伟大的国家。感恩。感动。感激。感谢。
衷心感谢！
