I know that there is almost a panic urge not to fall behind in the area of e-commerce and that the idea was to take on Amazon, but I see a big downside to this whole Walmart story. Everyone knows that the car parts market is a specific market and in that sense, it needs it’s one online sales concept, so I don't see the solution in just integrating our offering into Walmart's network of online sales.
On the other hand, this partnership with Walmart, by some chance, success, we will be depending on their online infrastructure to a point that we can’t survive without it. It would have been much better if have gone into the e-commerce market by ourselves and on time.
