HC CEO Guofanseng to the "First financial daily" reporter revealed that only in order to get madeinchina.com domain name, Hui Cong spent more than 1 million yuan.
Domestic Internet engaged in enterprise service industry Alibaba, Hui Cong and Baidu has been pillars situation. The market pattern changed quietly after Yahoo invested 1.7 billion of billions of dollars in the acquisition of 40% of Alibaba's shares. Baidu and ICBC formally signed the "E-commerce strategic Cooperation Agreement", the two sides will be online payment and other areas of cooperation. Form becomes more subtle. Not long ago, the Huicong network is to Alibaba to seize a similar domain name and Alibaba sued the court.

Hui Cong high-profile into foreign trade

Guofanseng told reporters that the current wisdom of the English network of the technology and structure has been set up, just waiting to find the right time to release. But Guofanseng and refused to disclose the site's specific launch time, just said will be in the recent Chinese version of the HC 2.0 release after the introduction of the selective launch.

Prior to that, Alibaba's strengths are foreign trade, Hui-Cong's strength is domestic business, and Baidu and the first two business-to-business model, has been insisting on the use of the sales model.

According to the data of relevant organizations, the current GDP of China, 40% is import and export, and HC if there are 100 million yuan business, then 20% and import and export related.

"The new website will be mainly targeted at foreign SME customers."

For the new English web site construction funding will come from, Guofanseng frankly there is no final decision, but he thought that Hui-Cong as a public company, the money problem should not be too difficult. He told reporters that there are more than 100 million yuan in the exchange of cash available, and if the listed company HC International (8292.HK) to launch the site, it can be completed through the issuance of new shares financing.

In addition, according to Guofanseng, Yahoo and Alibaba after the joint venture, many giants are also staring at the domestic E-commerce site this market, Hui Cong also does not rule out with such strategic partnership, strengthen their own strength.

Uncertain future

According to the survey, China's exports are now growing at a rate of 20% to 30% a year, more than several times GDP, but there has been no significant growth in transactions on the Internet.

"There are many examples of failure in China. "Lu Weigang introduced.

Lu Weigang said that even Alibaba's early launch of the "China exporters" platform, but now is not enough to keep up with the income of good faith.

Chief executive Guofanseng said HC would launch the service on its newly acquired website, "Www.madeinchina.com", by the end of this year or early 2006. "We are challenging Alibaba on export-related business," Mr Guo said.

Hui Cong's new site than its main site www.hc360.com to impress people, should be able to help improve the image of the wise.

Mr Guo said that HC spent more than 100,000 dollars to buy the domain name in the United States, even though it spent only thousands of dollars in the late the 1990s.

"Americans are really good at doing business. "But we think the domain name is worth it." ”

Mr Guo said that HC needed a strategic partner to help fund a new English-language website designed to make it easier for foreign companies to purchase products from Chinese sellers.

But he said that if necessary, HC could finance new businesses from the capital markets. At present, HC is listed in Hong Kong.

From the domain name registration information, made-in-china.com registered in 1998, and madeinchina.com registered in 1999. Through the Internet Archive Wayback machine History of information can be madeinchina.com after registering several years in the domain name Park, and until 2005 was the HC net won. In other words, the Chinese manufacturing network, which has been using made-in-china.com as the main domain name, is entirely likely to Yu Huicong madeinchina.com first.

Madeinchina.com and made-in-china.com in containing the discussion on its own not much difference, but in the Web site publicity and use of the point of view, Made-in-china will suffer much, do not believe words you try to enter both the domain name. Made-in-china.com has been used for nearly a decade, and the Hui Cong madeinchina.com is likely to sit on the Made-in-china brand and promote the results, justifiably enjoy the benefits of predecessor.

China's manufacturing network is now estimated to be busy, but the most important thing is not to review the mistakes of the year, but to think about how to face and solve the dilemma caused by their own carelessness.

Such a good domain name unexpectedly to Hui Cong pick?!

This is an insult and a blow to made-in-china.com!
According to reliable sources, Alibaba insiders have prepared both hands: while trying to see through the domain name lawsuit can recover madeinchina.com domain name, but the result is slim, but also to the opponents of free advertising and hype opportunities.
On the other hand, only change the domain name. At present, with made's close domain name, also madechina.com chinamade.com cnmade.com madecn.com can with one of the fight. At present, these 4 domain names should already be in Alibaba's negotiation table, do not know how wisdom will be right.
