E-Commerce China Dangdang (Dang) is identified as “The Amazon of China”.  On December 7,2010, the company raised $272 million by offering 17 million ADSs at $16, above the range of $11-$13. Credit Suisse (CSGN.VX) and Morgan Stanley (MS.N) acted as lead managers on the deal. It closed at $33.43 in the last trading day of its quiet period, more than double its offering price. That left the online store with a market cap just over $2.5 billion.

Dangdang CEO Mr. Guoqing Li shall be very happy now, however, it seems he is getting trouble in China microblog. In SINA microblog, he hinted that Morgan Stanley “fooled” DANG during IPO with some violent words and he might Fxxx off something after “silent period”. The interesting thing is that an unverified micro-blogger, seemingly a Morgan Stanley lady in this deal, fight him back with strong swear words in this Sunday afternoon.

Here are some tweets in English:

Mr. Li : You bastard know the price of $16 per ADS is very low before IPO, I m gonna fxx you off after silent period.

Morgan Lady: …be careful, you will died for making false accounting…rubbish, you definitely will be kicked off the board… You really shall pay off your utility fee now… … why cannot you be listed in China? Because you only can cheat some who are far away from you…

Advice to both sides:

Yes, you surely can share your personal things or thoughts through twitter or other SNS, even you can say lots of F words to show how MANful you are, but you cannot mix yourself with your business branding in the virtual world. It’‘s about time for Mr. Li and Morgan Stanley to declare about the accusation of false accounting.

US President Obama and China President Hu signed a joint-statement on a varity of economic, social and political issues yesterday as the result of Obama’s visit. The bright spot is the part about the renewable energy and climate changing. The popular US leader declared that “As the two largest consumers and producers of energy, there can be no solution to this challenge without the efforts of both China and the United States”

The joint press release detailed the outcomes of the talks as following:

(1) Copenhagen Should Not Be a Wasted Opportunity. Dedicated to working together against climate change, the two parties believe that “an agreed outcome at Copenhagen should, based on the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, include emission reduction targets of developed countries and nationally appropriate mitigation actions of developing countries.”

(2)  Scaling Renewable Energy is a Priority. The newly-adopted “U.S.-China Energy Effiiciency Action Plan” will help the two countries “work together to achieve cost-effective energy efficiency improvements in industry, buildings and consumer products through technical cooperation, demonstration and policy exchanges…the two Presidents underscored the enormous opportunities to create jobs and enhance economic growth through energy savings.” In addition, the countries launched the U.S. China Renewable Energy Partnership, with the goal of achieving rapid and wide-scale deployment of renewable energy technologies and a modern electric power grid through design and policy cooperation.

(3)  Creation of a U.S.-China Clean Energy Research Center. Coming in at a cost of $150 million over five years, the two countries will evenly split the cost and construct one Center in each country. With the hopes of encouraging joint research and development on clean energy technologies, the Center’s priority areas of focus will be energy efficiency in buildings, clean coal, and clean (electric and other fuel) vehicles.

(a) Energy Efficiency. With the speed in which Chinese cities are growing, and that fact that U.S. buildings account for 40% of energy use, it is imperative that building construction and remodeling in both countries be done with energy efficiency as a top priority.

(b) Clean Coal. The U.S. and China have a heavy interest in improving coal efficiency as both nations rely on coal as the biggest source for electric base-load power. The two countries “agreed to promote cooperation on large-scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) demonstration projects and to begin work immediately on the development, deployment, diffusion, and transfer of CCS technology. The two sides welcomed recent agreements between Chinese and U.S. companies, universities, and research institutions to cooperate on CCS and more efficient coal technologies.

(c)  Launch of a U.S.-China Electric Vehicles Initiative. And with a rising car culture in China and a need to revamp automobile infrastructure in the U.S., both countries have a concrete interest in developing a clean vehicle industry. With the goal of bringing millions of electric vehicles to both countries, the program calls for “joint demonstration projects in more than a dozen cities, along with work to develop common technical standards to facilitate rapid scale-up of the industry.”

Fan Gang, China Central Bank Adviser, heads the National Institute of Economic Research, he said at a business conference in Hong Kong : China is among the emerging markets facing risks of property and commodity market bubbles, a “double-digit” economic growth rate would not be good for China.

Few days ago, the local office newspaper reported “Chiense gross domestic product (GDP) may be able to climb 8-9% next year”, that probably a indicator of next financial crisis in Asia in the wake of liguidity injection by the world’s central banks. In the past year, China’s government created $1.3 trillion credit boom, directly helping growth accelerate while at the same time Shanghai Composite Index of stocks climb rapidly, nearly doubled than the lowest point in last year.

Mr. Fan thinks China must continue its stimulus measures to sustain growth in coming year even as he rejected the prospect of double-dip slowdown in the expansion. The US may see a renewed slump.

China should maintain a “moderately loose” monetary policy in 2010 as currently government stimulus effect and private investment are still weak.

There are not so many venture capital firms on the online social network, in fact, many of them do not like to be found by “normal public” so easily. I prefer to believe “they d like to keep mystery to allure more people”. However, the good trend is everyday a few more seem to show up in the web2  social network, i.e. twitter.

Want to know what VCs are doing and what kind of projects they may choose?  Wish to propose your new business plan to these censorious investors? – by digesting their writings, tweets and ramblings, you can understand how these guys think and then you can improve your odds of success during a pitch meeting.

The very original list is based on  Larry Rubin and added to by Jasmine Antonick– full credit where credit is due. I once made a similar list before, now I will make this latest list, you can mass follow them in one click.

China Unicom launched Iphone last Friday and expects the first official sales can lift its financial statement.

The China’s 2^nd largest telecom company started selling 3G service in most of Chinese cities, in order to fight with its rival China Mobile. By the end of the 3^rd quarter, China Union has only 140 million users, while China Mobile service more than 3 times subscribers. According to its Q3 financial report released late Friday, its net profit hit 3.1 billion Yuan. Xiaobing Chang, CEO of company obviously “is feeling a great peer pressure and attempting to win the next round in the next generation of mobile service.”

The bad news for Unicom is most Apple fans prefer to buy the latest phones via many unofficial ways at the same time as US IPhone parterres start to sell in America. Customers doubt how a IPhone without a key feature can be sold at higher prices than widely available black market models in the world’s most populous mobile phone market

You may not know the website crunch.co.uk, but you must know SKYPE. Its chairman, Michael van Swaaij invest his own money into this website and “so impressed with the UK contractros”.  This brilliant guy believes he is digging gold in these startup website, such as PeoplePerHour.com, as some of his next high growth projects.

He is a magic man. “The unique package of skills and flexibility that contractors and freelancers can offer can result in the productivity gains required to make Europe a global competitor,” explains van Swaaij. “Plus, individuals are now demanding the work-life balance that the freelance lifestyle can support.”

“In many European countries, such as Germany and Italy, being employed is still the ‘gold standard’, so all the financial and societal infrastructure revolves around employees,” continues van Swaaij. “These entrenched attitudes impact negatively on contractors, often restricting access to basic financial products, such as loans and mortgages, and creating problems of status.”

“It’s only through productivity gains that we will be able to compete, and significant gains can be realised by tapping into an ever growing workforce of professional contractors and freelancers,” concludes Swaaij. “This presents many challenges, but also many exciting opportunities!”

The story often remind me of similar business in China.  Magic business man — Shi Yuzhu, who is trying to build a system of small groups in GA, a famous online game company.

It will not surprise me if there is another genius boy suddenly sell his small company or products at a great price as “freelance” in the future.  Will that be you?  then just take the first step: kick off your boss, right now.

Active VCs in 3Q

VC/PE industry is so hot currently that many investment institution start to join the war of keeping people’s tactics.
Growth Enterprise Market kicked off on last Friday, undoubtedly, some major venture capital and private equity firms who are holding plenty of share in the latest Chinese financial market are laughing loudly thanks to the performance in the first trading day. Other firms, even including those securities companies with the license of direct investment are also eager to throw into these businesses. Those socalled knowledgeable people or key person with “relation” and “sourcing” will play the noticeable role.
Foreign Fund
At this moment, the China equity market is surging. Blackstone once directly invested in some project in China in the past few years, but it seems it slow down recently. BX will follow a series of IPOs in NY market, which shows a strong sign BX is rapidly recovering from the financial crisis. In few weeks ago, Blackstone Group LP announced they were building a PE fund of 5 Billion RMB. Another giant, CLSA, is planning to raise a fund of 10Billion RMB with a Shanghai fund, according to its Asia CEO Mr. Jonathan Slone, CLSA will hold half of the company, focusing on environment and new energy industty. Before them, Carlyle Group and TPG dominate in China market.
Domestic PE investing
Zhejiang Capital, Jiangshu Capital, etc, local PE firms once chased their dream in the PE market with great enthusiasm, it was reported over 100 billion of capital in Wenzhou market. Nowadays, more and more entrepreneurs have to quit after failure.
