Chengku owns the biggest enterprise database in China with

for the majority of private companies in China. Chengku officially
started its website in January 2005. Since then, its popularity has
been soaring. According to www.alexa.com, a site that monitors all

approximately No. 4,000 in Internet traffic worldwide. As a

comments, "As an incubator of high-tech companies in China, we seek
to acquire a variety of emerging high-tech companies in China.
After the huge success of online games and search engines in China,
we believe E-commerce will be the third profit field based on the
Internet in China. Only 5% of over 5 million Chinese companies have
E-commerce operations. With a 5% additional penetration of the
existing market, revenues could potentially grow to an excess of
US$300 million in additional annual sales. We expect Chengku will
generate over US$10 million in sales with US$2 million in net
income in 2006 with adequate funding. The acquisition of Chengku, a
rapidly growing company with innovative technologies and
operations, will be another important step for us to build an
exclusive network of high-tech companies operating in China." About
