Facebook is the originator of social networking sites in the United States, but the world's first social networking site will be China's Renren. April 15, Renren submitted a prospectus to the Securities and Exchange Commission and was to be listed on the NYSE on May 4, with the stock code "Renn". The listing of Renren has pushed the fourth wave of Chinese Internet companies out of the market to a high peak.

"2000 Internet companies have been very hot, it was called a bubble, but now 10 years later, we found that the Internet is not a bubble, is actually changing our lives." "The Chinese network shares are one of the important directions of his concern," said Kangxiaoyang, chairman of Tianma Asset Management company, who invests in overseas markets.

"Stories" about the internet for Americans

In addition to Renren, Chinese Internet companies listed abroad have reached 27, including 25 companies that have chosen the United States to complete their listing, except for Tencent and Alibaba, which are listed in Hong Kong.

Why do Chinese Internet companies prefer to list overseas? I the Internet industry analyst Hu Long Fei to the first financial daily newspaper "The financial quotient" reporter pointed out three main reasons. First, the internet company is Born "Half-Breed", they are running the blood of foreign venture capital funds, from the exit mode of investment, the overseas market is naturally preferred. Second, the US listing system, which is strict, is easier to qualify as a listing for many internet companies that have not even made a profit, and the stringent domestic vetting system allows these emerging industry companies to exclaiming. Third, the U.S. Nasdaq market is a global high-tech companies, with a group of more "understand" the internet company investors, in the U.S. listing more easy to get investors recognition.

Portal detonated first wave of IPO

In July 1999, when Nasdaq was in the midst of a network-share spree, China network as the first Chinese Internet concept shares landed in Nasdaq, the Chinese Network of Madness for the subsequent Chinese concept of network shares began to launch the first artillery, the Chinese network when the sale of oversubscribed more than 10 times times, the issue price of 20 U.S. dollars, opened that soared to 60 U.S. dollars, All day Rose 200%.

April 2000 onwards, China's three major portals have entered the U.S. capital market, but the dotcom bubble has to the most crazy time, Sina, NetEase and Sohu listed at the time is "untimely", in the dotcom bubble burst, the three portal network also difficult to escape a robbery, stock prices even break.

"When the dotcom bubble burst, the big three portals almost died before they started." Hu Longfei said, later, as the portal began to develop SP business, found in addition to advertising new profit model, the portal only gradually out of the crisis, ushered in the spring.

NetEase is one of the outstanding representatives. After the internet bubble, NetEase will be the direction of development to online games, in the second quarter of 2002, NetEase first achieved net profit, its share price also rose to become the 2002 Nasdaq market performance of the most outstanding stocks.
