In
October 2009, we acquired 100% of an online Chinese-language novel Company
(“Zhulang”) and its related party (“Success Blueprint”), for an aggregate
price of $US 2.34 mn in cash and 1,000,000 ordinary shares (equivalent to
25,000 ADS). Zhulang is engaged in the management, aggregation
and distribution of user-generated and professionally written Chinese
novels, mainly focused on the contemporary and martial arts genres (URL:
http://www.zhulang.com). Success Blueprint, a BVI company, is
engaged in the management of overseas Chinese novel
copyright. The acquisition of Zhulang will support the
development of KONG.net’s mobile novel channel, already one of the leading
mobile novel sites in China, to further develop its access to original
content and the author community to develop new and more innovative
publishing business models based on mobile platforms. Also, we expect
Zhulang to support the development of our mobile games business as we
leverage content and other copyrights on the Zhulang platform for future
mobile game titles.
