And then you can't sell to any significant company that travels worldwide if you don't have all of them because like I need to be able to travel everywhere.
Then you've got to integrate with whatever they're doing for their credit, other systems in their company.

So, like, just be aware of that.
So I think what's happened, so if you look at the Navant stock, it was at like $25.
