I understand that. I am sorry for rushing; I have several questions to ask.
Even though we cannot get the specific proportions of the 51% today, it is fair to say that electric vehicles will play a big part according to the plan that was published last week. During the break there was discussion among ourselves about the percentage of people who would buy a new car as a matter of course. I do not mean every year or every two years but whenever they are changing their car, they would purchase a brand-new car as a matter of course. Do we have the proportion of people who would do that?
