Market Pulse Friday, September 01, 2000 CHINA jumps 11.7 percent --11:29 am - By Michael Baron Chinadotcom (CHINA: news, msgs) is rising $2, or 11.3 percent, to $19.62 on heavy volume of 7.71 million shares.

The Chinese Ministry of Information Industry approved Qiao Xing Thursday as one of five winning bidders for the Ministry`s "CDMA network station core technology research and development project." Und da haben wir noch was Halbschlaues von der Betsy,die Gute macht sich so Ihr Gedanken über die Portale und kommt dabei ein wenig ins philosiphieren : Chinese Portals Search For Ad Dollars By Betsy Schiffman There used to be a little old-fashioned glamour involved with being a portal, but that`s out along with 24-year-old chief executives and dot-com IPOs. The glamour still lives, though, ironically enough, in China, where portals have a couple of big advertising and e-commerce hurdles ahead. The Chinese portals are out in full force--including China.com , Sina.com , NetEase.com, Renren.com, Sohu.com--and they`re getting plenty of attention from investors. The appetite for U.S. portals is gone, mostly because the winners have already been established. Top ten Web property AltaVista, for example, recently postponed its IPO. Meanwhile, Chinese portal NetEase.com (proposed nasdaq ticker: NTES), with little more than a box of cash and an eye on the Chinese market, is expected to complete its IPO at the end of the month, led by Merrill Lynch. The portal business model is largely dependent upon advertising sales, spruced up with a commerce and service revenue stream thrown in for good measure. For example, the largest pure-play portal in the United States, Yahoo! , generates about 80% of its total revenue from advertising. That`s not an impossible percentage to imagine, considering the amount of advertising bought and sold in the U.S. Jupiter Communications predicts that for the year 2000, worldwide online advertising could reach $7 billion--with North America generating 75% of that total, or about $5.4 billion. In China, however, online advertising is a different story. ``The Asian market is incredibly different from the U.S.,`` says Patrick Wong, analyst at E-harmon zero gravity. ``The same model may work in Asia, but it`s going to take time to catch up.`` A Yahoo! Asia executive recently warned that development in Asia is coming slowly due to the high cost of accessing the Internet and a lack of quality content. If Yahoo!`s troubles in Asia serve as any example, portals could face rough waters in the short term. The Chinese government has been notoriously reluctant to embrace the advertising market. Recent indications, however, show that it`s slowly opening up. Last month the government awarded nearly 30 Internet companies licenses to sell online advertising. However, it`s questionable whether the small and growing online advertising market will offer enough in sales in to keep the portals afloat. According to Sina.com Chief Operating Officer Daniel Mao, the problems with advertising in China could be exaggerated. ``There are a lot of mixed messages about advertising in China. You may see fewer dot-com companies surviving on advertising, but the ad market is still fundamentally strong,`` Mao says. ``During the March quarter, we generated 84% of our revenue from advertising.`` China.com has been slightly more cautious about advertising. The company launched its portal only after rolling out a number of nonadvertising services, such as e-business solutions. Similar to U.S. portals, most Chinese portals are banking on a percentage in commerce revenue. However, e-commerce in China may be as problematic as advertising. The Chinese culture remains reluctant to use credit cards, and China isn`t exactly a Federal Express culture. For Sina.com, the solution is to act as the ``mall manager`` and rent its property out to commerce players. ``There are a few issues with e-commerce in China,`` Mao says. ``In China you already have a grocery store you can walk to, whereas in the U.S., you have to get in the car and drive to buy anything. Also, people in China don`t use credit cards, and there are less efficient delivery systems. I don`t know that you can ever repeat a Webvan model cu hastdumalnemark? |
