What I would like to say is that a manufacturer must conduct technological development for releasing products with the quality and functions mentioned above year by year, and that it should invest in the development environment. Naturally, customers want something new. And if we propose new products at low prices, they think that the adoption of the products will help increase profits and they are happy to adopt them. We believe that we can expand the container business on the basis of this concept. That is why I say that we expect to increase sales and income. We are the only manufacturer able to produce this new sheet. It sells at the price we suggest. The same approach is certain to remain effective in the foreseeable future. And probably, people will be more willing to offer new ways to use them. I see new selling approaches, or general-purpose containers that allow noodle manufacturers to produce original items with. You will see this when you look at food items in pots that are currently available in stores. Aluminum containers have almost disappeared. They have been mostly replaced by our products. And sales are expanding. We are not hearing any complaints about elderly users and children suffering from excessive heat or burns. With these features, the Multi FP will develop into a major pillar in our future business, while making profits. This is what is behind my bullish remarks. A selling approach using one-way containers may result in discontinuation. However, that is impossible with these containers. In the context of seeking a low-cost method that ensures hygiene in circulation, the current wrapping method would be the lowest-cost solution when we think of containers alone. However, there is a labor shortage. So, what is happening? There are two things happening. One thing is the use of lids. Take the process of preparing five packs of sashimi sliced raw fish, for example. Automatic wrapping is often employed, but it is unable to deal with many different kinds of things. However, lids can be immediately affixed by part-time workers when preparing the packs. In containers with lids, sales of sashimi surge 35% to 40%. In addition, we ask customers to use them in sets of three including an inner plate. Since we started making this proposal, the number of products to be used in sets of three has been rapidly increasing. As expected, they have the effect of boosting sales by 30%. Although each set has one more piece by using an inner plate, a set leads to a sales increase of around 30%. I believe that we will therefore be able to continue to see a sales and income hike, and that we have achieved development that will bring about this result. And that is why I make this optimistic speech in front of you, and I think that we are in a situation that enables our sales and income to keep rising. Please keep an eye on our situation. I am convinced that in the future, when you look back, that my positive outlook has been realistic. My speech has been bullish. I will wrap up my briefing by reaffirming to you all that FP Corporation's growth potential is big. Thank you for your attention.
