Mr. Quanfu Hong, Chief Financial Officer of Canaan, mentioned in a statement that in the Q3 of 2020, the pandemic and the resulting macroeconomic uncertainty continued to influence the global IC industry’s maximum yield. Nevertheless, during the Q3, demand for mining machines on the market started to recover, and we received a substantial number of pre-sale orders scheduled for delivery beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020.
