Advantages for Enterprises listed in North America

Canada is a developed country of a plural culture, no matter go or from market situation from policy guidance, Canada government has welcome Chinese enterprise reach Canada begin to merchandize straight at present.

First, Canadian market and enterprise are special

1. Common people think the market economy of the western developed country is the market economy that totally lets drift.  In fact each national government participates in and manages the economic activity in varying degrees. The Canadian government participates in the management of the macro economy too; the federal government has state-owned enterprises. The municipal government in the province has enterprises under municipality under the province. 

2. Canada vast in territory, but most place is it develop to have (whether possibility that will develop on a large scale in the future very), so the total supply and demand protects certain scale.  The economic indicator per capita leads in the world. Though in terms of resource, Canadian economic potential is infinite, but expected to only keep the rate of increase above the average of western developed country in future economic growth.

3. Canadian economy is international trade type, specially rely on U.S.A.'s economy, especially some “the three-processing and one compensations “like U.S.A. of manufacturing industry of Canada Processing base, but Canada tries hard to develop the independent industry. Science and technology, open up other regional markets. 

4. It is indirect adjustments and controls enterprises that the Canadian governments at all levels are basic.  It is industrial and commercial registration, tax, labor insurance, human resources to have directly relevant departments with enterprises (The retired pay and unemployment insure) The department, it is the customs of imports and exports to be related to business scope is commercial license plate of municipal government, health quarantine of the food and beverage, intellectual property right, weights and measures, and administrative department of the noxious substance. 

5. The government of Canada adopts the passive way to the supervision of enterprises; it usually assumes enterprises observe the law to operate legitimately.  Except that the customer complains. Involved other cases, or is spotted check outside by the government organs, the general government department wills not check and intervening enterprise's normal operation, and there is no arbitrary charge.  Feeling of imposing arbitrary quotas, enterprise is it deal in illegally to find, its heavy punishment may make enterprises reach the edge that go bankrupt, so few of people dares to defy the law, most enterprises and enterprise family all operate within the limits of the law consciously.

6. In hundreds and thousands of enterprises in Canada, small and medium-sized enterprises take the great majority.  Large-scale companies are all American company or the subsidiary in Canada of trans-corporation. Canadian government has a lot of special support measures to small and medium-sized enterprises.

7. Nowaday enterprises appeared from a large number of family enterprises and enterprise handling official business at home in recent years, this is individualized in era of knowledge-driven economy. Miniaturization and inexorable trend of the network, the government holds supporting in handling official business at home and puts the attitude, there are many preferential policies on the tax.

8. Canadian enterprises are relatively absorbed in training the key competitiveness. Except that some large-scale enterprise groups adopt the pluralism. Many trades develop outside, most enterprises; especially small enterprises all concentrate on a certain trade or a certain product.  Serve.  Some enterprises and entrepreneurs persevere for several decades as if it were one day on the specific business, though suspected of satisfied with the existing state of affair sing, it may accumulate the essence skill, its life is lived more easily, have given consideration to the business and life.

9. Enterprise operation get on with function enterprise operation tending towards function wrap up to melt.  Namely the administrations of enterprises, financial affairs, Personnel, advertisement, public relations. It melts Y. pass transportation, etc.  Function it trust infrastructure Management Company not commercial of society of.  Commercial Service Company, accountant, book keeper, lawyer, advertising agency.  Financial company.  Carrier is it realize to come, this kind small and small and medium enterprise specially can is it simplify and scale can still effective operation most to keep.  Because these company information is all legal, specially need " Deal with " ,in addition, whether it have after service organization, therefore it is very natural to hire the outside service organization, the cost is far lower than professional personnel of hiring department.

10. Make a clear distinction between good and evil in the identity of the temporary worker of China's Mainland and boss, it is very convenient to apply for enterprises in Canada, in addition, there are more and more enterprises hire a casual labour. Contracted worker, between traditional regular enterprise employer and complete employee's identity, since the ones that have presented a large number of the servant.  Half servant half employment since.  From servant's intermediate zone for hire.  Employed. The limitation of making to employers and hire oneself is fuzzier and fuzzier, even value roles also as several by oneself.  Personal financial affairs and family's financial affairs. Enterprise's financial affairs mix the state.  Deal with more complicated on the financial affairs and tax.

11. It is very low to set up the threshold of enterprises in Canada; the formality is very simple too. Expenses high, so have several ten thousand enterprise of house open a business newly every year, because the market competition is fierce, several ten thousand enterprises go bankrupt and apply to close a business too every year.  Especially when the economic feeling is not good, enterprise close is more; the bad account capital reserve which the bank appropriates often increases correspondingly too at this time.

12. There is normal bankrupt and new born mechanism of enterprise in Canada. Debt-ridden enterprise or entrepreneur can apply for enterprises bankrupt; the debtor can go into battle with a light pack after a few years after unloading the burden of debts, resume starting an undertaking. And the bankrupt of Chinese country's enterprises is very difficult.

Second, domestic enterprises reach Canada's listing advantage more     Chinese enterprises reach Canada and are list and have a lot of advantages, already many enterprises have succeeded in being gone to Canada to list now. Since the financial institution of Canada entered China, had spared no effort to popularize and introduce the capital market of Canada, through the hard work for many years, the unique advantage of the Canadian market has been accepted by the Chinese entrepreneur gradually.  And limitation, Singapore of market and New York and threshold, NASDAQ of market too high as to Greater China area Hong Kong, there are unique advantages in Canada. Canada listing threshold low approving procedure simple and convenient short, listing relatively cheap and having such many kinds of listing ways as RTO and IPO, etc. financial charge when needing for.  As part of economic plate of North America, China listing enterprise can is it is it rise to advanced New York or NASDAQ market to transfer from Canada to graduate. Secondly, as G7 one of, the Canadian wealth rich capital is sufficient; there is very healthy investment culture. Canadians of annual income per capita of nearly 3 ten thousand dollars, there is 46 to participate in the stock market activity directly. 120 ten thousand foreign citizens of Chinese origin add the colony that persons are keen on China's concept especially, so, there are very good financing prospects in Canada. Another factor that can't be ignored is, gone to Canada to list, can obtain the latest scientific and technological information of economy nearby, and have an opportunity to look for the strategic partner to form an alliance.  In North America capitalist in height, Chinese enterprises will evolve for enterprises of modernized management in accordance with following the norm of the public company.

Canadian security market is equivalent to Hong Kong, Singapore and total of security market of three Australian places of the Asian-Pacific area. Up to the end of 2001, enterprises are from 300 billion yuan altogether of Canadian capital market financing, the stock is 121 billion yuan among them, the bond is 179 billion yuan. Institutional investors of Canada include open-ended fund, pension fund, risk investment funds, etc., equivalent to 4.  8,000 billion yuan.  Among them, the pension fund is 2,681,300 million yuan, open-ended fund is 2,200 billion yuan. 67 companies of fund, individual investor exceeds 10 million people.

Canada's listing expenses are cheaper. Taking Toronto Securities Exchange as an example, it is 1 to list and apply for the fee. 60,000 yuan, initial listing expenses are 16.  50,000 to 660,000 yuan.  To some companies with better financial situation and can exempting, the expenses are only 8. 250,000 to 11. 250,000 yuan. It is 4 to list and maintain the expenses. 30,000 to 300,000 yuan. 
 

What kind of enterprises is suitable to IPO in North America

As to what kind of enterprise is it get North America list to suitable for, we analyze from domestic situation and international market two. At present, Chinese Government makes a series of policies, encourages domestic enterprises to be listed; Meanwhile, overseas market, especially North America, welcome Chinese enterprises to be listed and traded, its listing condition is not as too high to reach as what we imagined, but the threshold is relatively low. Facilitate some enterprises to be listed on North America like this, succeed. Analyze as follows information can help you to analyze whether your enterprises are suitable for to North America to go on the marketing:

First, domestic situation the State Council according to " the State Council raise shares and special regulation of beginning to merchandize " to June 17, 1996 " about Limited Company securities commission, have issued and is listed the condition, procedure and necessary file article which reselect enterprises outside the border about recommending, committee sends the card (1996) On the 17th, proved among them that is listed and reselected the conditions of enterprises outside the border:

1.Accord with the national industrial policy: It accords with the large and medium-sized enterprise of the national industrial policy to support especially, the key technological transformation project supported to such infrastructure, basic industry and new high-tech industry and country as the energy, traffic, raw materials, etc. slopes, consider other trades properly.  Enterprises should belong to the country and allow the trade which the foreign businessman invests in.

2. Being potential, enterprise need the fund badly.  Enterprises issue stocks the fund raised should have clear uses, used in enterprise's production to develop mainly, in conformity with the request of according with and changing to the intensive management, some fund can be used for adjusting asset-liability ratio, supplementing the circulating fund, etc.. Enterprises should possess the fund application plan implemented basically in principle. It is the capital construction, project construction of the technological transformation one, should accord with the national provision that investment in fixed assets, technological transformation are set up. There are enterprises of an eyes of great technology import needing the foreign currency badly with the approval of the State Council, can pay the utmost attention to.

3. Enterprises have certain scale and good economic benefits.  Apply for the profit achievement that enterprises there should be, consider the rationality of the cost, behavior and operation after going on the market that enterprises raise funds at the same time, it needs to reach certain scale to reselect enterprises: The scale of net assets that enterprises invest the part of listed company after reorganizing is generally no less than 4 hundred million yuan, the after-tax profit rate of net assets after assessing or estimating reaches above 10, the scale of the after-tax net profit needs to be up to 6000 more than ten thousand yuan. The state-owned stock should generally occupy the holding position after raising capital by floating shares, the proportion of the state-owned stock should exceed 51 after the trade or enterprise, enterprise of demanding to control interest to the state policies definitely issue stocks. Support the infrastructure construction project of development to the country, there is the one that exempts to the achievement in the external stock exchange, needn't need profit achievement for three years in succession.

4.To pilot enterprises of modern enterprise system confirmed of the State Council, made obvious progress, paid the utmost attention to properly under the equal condition in pilot project.

5.Enterprise issue external listing foreign capitals bursts of fund-raising volume expect can up to 4  A hundred million yuan ( Or about 5000 ten thousand dollars) The above.

6. Enterprises have certain ability of earning foreign exchange. Earn foreign exchange competence is it reach net 10 of amount of profit under tax to need generally, there are reliable foreign currency sources to share out bonus and send the interest after guaranteeing to go on the market, it is that such the trades as the infrastructure, etc. can be relaxed properly, but the consent responding to a call for contributions about the department of foreign exchange control. 

7. Enterprises have certain popularity and managerial skill. The occupation rate of market of the enterprise products comes out at the top in the domestic same trade, more steady for three years in succession; The main administrative staff of enterprises should have better professional level and experience of management, can keep the basic stability before and after being listed.

Second, international market     1.The financial affairs are required: The minimum financial affairs of the listed company are required, each different exchange or quotation system depending on planning to be listed. For example: There are no minimum assets or income to require in NASDAQ counter trade market, only demand to have concrete commercial plan or goal.

2. The demand to Chinese enterprises of Canada GEM is: Company does not take to have history writing down and achievement of sure service life, only need there are a good management group and competitive project. The threshold is relatively low, is the greatest characteristic of Canada GEM. On Canada GEM amalgamated but become by stock exchange and Abel's tower securities trading of Vancouver of November of 1999, purchased by the stock exchange of Toronto later, became the market for the second board on the country's stock under its flag. The beginning of establishment of Canada GEM index is that 2000 is clicked; the index has felt high to 4457 points, about 3000 points at present. During that time, NASDAQ index has changed radically, but the index on Canada GEM is relatively small in amplitude.

3.Toronto Securities Exchange tightens up the listing regulations: Toronto Securities Exchange (abbreviate as TSE) Have announce the new regulation on June 27, 2004, has put forward stricter control measures to deciding the Hi-Tech company newly of the stock market.  Though the investment field was still favored in High-tech stocks very much, TSE board of directors has approved a series of ones that are listed Hi-Tech Company for being new and standard. Go on the market with wireless communication, optic fiber network and relevant Hi-Tech companies of electronic commerce constantly, only from the beginning of this year, the company listed for the first time in TSE has included: 360NETWORKS INC., 724 SOLUTIONS INC., CELL-LOC INC., and ONX INC. And GT GROUP TELECOM INC., This is still only a part among them.

According to the new rule of TSE, any Hi-Tech company wanting to be listed on TSE must have market value of 50 million yuan at least.

Other rules still include:

It is 10 million yuan at least that * discloses the market value of stock of the trade.  * There is reserve fund of 10 million yuan at least.  * Enough evidence indicates, the products or service of the company are at developing or commercialized leading stage.  * Have enough funds to use for development, operation cost for one year.

Chief securities deal maker, former base Qin, president of TSE, SCOTIA CAPITAL MARKETS of Toronto, (FRED KECHEN) Show, it is sound that the new rule contributes to TSE. TSE proves to investors, it puts investors' interests first.

4. Which type’s enterprise is easiest to list on TSX?  Looking from tradition, the investment circle of Canada is relatively familiar with enterprises of resource types. At present, more than 20 gold mines related to China exploit enterprises and is listed on TSX financing. But no gold process manufacturing enterprise appears, I think, this kind of enterprise is sure to be very successful in Canada. The manufacturing enterprises of such energy type as petroleum, the natural gas, etc. are that TSX welcomes very much too.   Chinese enterprises should learn to adapt to the supervision environment of Canada first. Canadian investors and security market are very familiar with the trade of mining industry, just because of this, Canadian investors and requisition for enterprise of mining industry of security market are more careful. For example, they are 43 (101) Clause regulation, must audit the assessment to the mineral resources of enterprises by the independent geologist.

Third, case that succeed

1. CHINAUNICOM’s experience can be reflected:

Large-scale telecom company's CHINAUNICOM of China's Mainland (China Unicom) Is it issue U.S.A. is it ask evidence original stock whether Chinese enterprise step the overseas capital market of foot to deposit to succeed in New York will it be June 2000, and American investors borrowed this and participated in an example of the market of China's Mainland. UNICOM list on beauty case, raise funds 4,920 million altogether initial stage. The mobile telephone market of China's Mainland is the third largest market in the world at present, but the market expects it will become the largest market in the world. This company is listed on beauty, not only bring the plentiful fund to the company but also help the company to integrate with the world market in management and financial affairs are dealt with. To is it make whom investor have an optimistic view of can borrow this form strategic alliance with more overseas Hi-Tech Company most to list company this at the same time, open newer situation for the vast mobile telephone market of the continent, pave the way in advance in order to become the first largest market in the world in the future too.

2. The listing threshold is relatively low Four Chinese enterprises go to Canada GEM to list:

While sanctioning setting up plate of small and medium-sized enterprises in May of 2004 in China's Securities Regulatory Commission, a lot of small and medium-sized enterprises of China cast sight on the overseas security market too. The seventh High-tech Expo carried on May 22, 2004 “China’s economic summit “Going to, four Chinese enterprises have signed the agreement attending Canada GEM listing.

These four small and medium-sized enterprises come from Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Shanxi and Beijing separately; among them two are new high-tech enterprises. Four enterprises are all at the stage of growing up fast, and have already obtained the listing qualification on Canada GEM. They sign the agreement with the financial company of international union of Canada; finish the listing goal of Canada GEM within 9 months.

Stock minister's mark of listing department of trade market of Canadian CNQ Falkner says: We welcome Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises to be gone to Canada to list very much, this offers a chance that Chinese enterprises occupy one position definitely on the capital market of Canada.

The stock exchange of Toronto of Canada is the seventh largest stock exchange in the world; its GEM is one of the most active risk capital markets of global trade. In the past for various reasons, it was actually few that went to Canada's listing China number of the enterprise. Recently, with the growing up fast of Chinese enterprises, the security market of Canada begins to send out the invitation to Chinese enterprises voluntarily. Because listing threshold, Canada of GEM than low examining and approving time and expenses lower than American NASDAQ market for the second board on the country's stock far, this makes more and more Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises choose to list and finance to Canada. 

3. A foreign student's enterprise succeeds in being listed on beauty:

North American Chinese enterprise established by foreign student - --Only open company of China ( Techedge Inc) Listed on the American security market successfully recently.

In recent years, more and more Chinese enterprises are listed on U.S.A., rank among the international economic stage. If UT reaches the health company then in the company established in U.S.A. by the foreign student among them ( UTStarcom) ,etc., lead characteristic of the technological trend and outstanding market manifestation with it, is gaining having a foothold and apparent development in the international competition having numerous s rivals. 

According to the introduction of long Mr. Li Ya of mere open company's chief operation: Only open company (the founder of Techedge Inc of China and senior executive have all taken an advanced study in China and the United States, the job at the beginning is developed in the American big company first, and then exercise fights in enterprises founded by oneself, it makes enterprises listed or annexed in listing enterprises successfully to combine. They have technological development, enterprise's operation, and abundant experience that the commercial affair expand concurrently, have Chinese clever efforts, find out about the competition operation of the international market too, and has realized the changes of hardships and market of starting an undertaking in person.

Whether go U.S.A. take an advanced study will it is will it be the end the seventies the 20th century Wang ZuGuang Mr., President of Company, like such a sentence of famous sayings now.  While starting an undertaking, future entrepreneur hope reciprocate more often, and unwilling in the face of the risk and pressure; and the real entrepreneur likes to make it hard even more, never wallow in and reciprocate.  Mere open company that succeeded in after U.S.A. is listed, with saner paces and efforts will develop on the North American telecommunication market.

Only open company (Techedge Inc of China located in east of U.S.A. Created it in 2000, this company offers commercialization and civil communication technology and service of an area to North America mainly, among them the technological service of multiple communication relying mainly on VoIP technology has already reached or exceeded the international advanced level of the same trade.

It is said, " little remarkable ability " which the technological company of this telecommunication will introduce in U.S.A. soon Wireless local call serve, having combined VoIP network communication and advantage of the wireless communication, very popular Chinese " air shower " at present On the successful foundation, through improving and improving, make it accord with U.S.A.'s communication standard, utilize the only open company existing VoIP communication platform, and then plan a technological service popularized to every large American city.
 

Why List in North America 

Chinese Government has already joined WTO, this means business opportunity of global economic integration is influencing Chinese enterprises, since China's reform and opening-up, though Chinese enterprises are calling the slogan inviting outside investment everyday, but the result is not very ideal, has even lost a lot of interests, but the foreign businessman has obtained a great deal of interests. For instance: It is favorable that the joint venture can enjoy reducing, exempting, refund of tax of Chinese Government,etc., can obtain loan, Chinese of commercial bank, foreign businessman can enter China by way of investing in national surplus, out of date equipment, set up joint venture, has enabled eliminating the equipment from obtaining use value partly again, foreign businessman in fact set up joint venture in China with way the above only, even in sell one situation of product already earn the generous profit, foreign businessman obviously utilize"  Chinese foreign businessman jointly operate law " ,engaged in capital operation make a profit earlier stage, why Chinese enterprises can beyond trader have at China same operation way go development not oversea s to make a profit?  According to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China "  The 16th National Congress "  The ones that put forward "  Walk out "  Development strategy spirit, Chinese enterprises choose in conformity with reason: Go to GEM of the developed country or the main board market to list and carry on the operation of the capital; The backward country is by way of setting up the cooperative enterprise of the joint-venture while going to develop or than China, engaged in the operation of the capital in earlier stage, make the production and management and dominate the market and make a profit on later stage.

Chinese enterprises go to American NASDAQ, apply for listing financing in Toronto of Canada, the choice of carrying on operation of the capital is the best identification that Chinese enterprises realize the developing by integration strategy and policy of global economy, reflect especially that carries out the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China "  The 16th National Congress "  The ones that put forward: Spirit that ' Chinese enterprises walk out the rational utilization foreign capitals develop '. Result and Chinese enterprise one hundred profit its hurt, among them “buy the shell " It is the fastest financing way to listed or apply for listing again. As soon as listed and succeeded, Chinese enterprises are the controlling interest of American listed company with right titles and proper words of one house, in this way Chinese enterprises can purchase American listed company controlling interest with this, finance in a pluralistic way on U.S.A. and financial market of whole world: Such as issuing stock, bond, applying for the American bank loan, setting up joint venture and contractual joint venture, attracting the risk investor, etc., handle time fast ( 3-6 months)   ,The expenses are low ( 1 million dollars)   ,There is no risk ( wraps up success, it is free of charge that unsuccessful)  . 

NASDAQ of U.S.A. is the largest electronic stock trade market in the world, she all right for each a per second one to convey 83 more than 1,300,000 country to trade information that listed company issue stocks of you through international electronic network at one time The professional investor is in the brain, an more exciting one is, she has already cooperated with Internet, make in whole world stock investor no matter when and where can look over stock exchange message to reach you through Internet, this means once your enterprises are listed on American NASDAQ success, even if you is it succeed difficult to want, Sohu network, inferior to hold group to list on American NASDAQ financing successful typical case of China.

In sum: It is difficult for Chinese enterprises to finance at home at present, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, why not change the idea to choose to walk out and develop, head direct for the market for the second board on the country's stock of American NASDAQ "  Buy the shell " Or apply for listing financing again? Or go for listing financing of Canada Toronto Securities Exchange? Is not there such a sentence in “International "?”There are no immortal, God in this world, there is not the Saviour even more, all depends on oneself, we are hosts all over the world”. The enterprise leaders of China should take action and seize the opportunity immediately, has dreamt of really coming constantly.

Nest and guide the phoenix, instance evidence

In 1993, the stock exchange of New York welcomed the first enterprise of China: Golden cup automobile in the morning of China. The listing of morning golden cup of China, blow the clarion call that Chinese enterprises marched into the overseas capital market. In ten years afterwards, the overseas and listing paces of Chinese enterprise are being accelerated constantly, so far, more than 200 inland enterprises have played an outstanding role in the capital market abroad already.

The overseas and listing ways of Chinese enterprises, have gone through big tide four times. First tide (From 1993 to the second half of 1994) Take manufacturing industry as the core, having reflected overseas investors to the manufacturing industry of China, especially the limitless hope of the strong markets indicated behind the manufacturing industry. Listing Mainland enterprise representative have Tsingtao beer, Shanghai petrochemical industry, horse steel, etc. abroad during this time.  The second tide takes Chinese infrastructure industry as the core. Overseas investors think, the current situation of Chinese infrastructure industry was comparatively weak at that time, this industry has wide development space, and there is great growth potential in the investment in this respect. So, the tide (1995) this time It is represented by such infrastructure as the aviation, traffic, electricity of China, etc., for instance eastern aviation, southern aviation, etc..  The third wave ( From June of 1996 to October of 1997)  Protagonist relying mainly on red chips enterprise, for instance Shanghai the industry, Cosco Pacific Ocean, in travel etc.. These enterprises are considered as “China’s concept "  ,Namely benefit from the thing China's economy is developed at a high speed, get enterprises of government's powerful support.  Got the having a good prospect generally of the market at that time, lifted gigantic and vigorous raising the heat wave red for a time in Hong Kong.

Since 1999, Chinese enterprises have lifted the fourth listing tide on the overseas market. This tide can be said to be tide of Hi-Tech industry once. Attend listing Chinese enterprise abroad during this time, except represented by petroleum, telecommunications a large-scale one, with monopoly trade, large quantities of private high-tech enterprises have sung the protagonist, for instance such a number of enterprises featuring Internet, e-commerce as permanent fitting, Sina, Sohu, Yeah of Fujian, etc..

The high-tech enterprise, especially private high-tech enterprise become the mainstay of the fourth tide, because their mechanism is full of vigor, it is all what big state-owned enterprises do not possess that its management system, business efficiency, cost are controlled, have unique competition advantages, meanwhile, the excellent behavior on the capital market of a number of high-tech enterprises of U.S.A., encourage greatly for similar enterprises of China Mainland too. In fact, Chinese high-tech enterprise may be said too abroad that turns out a prestigious institution, though has gone through and risen and fallen for several times, begin last year, get the concern of the market and show appreciation for again. At present, in NASDAQ, “China Concept share” Still the scene is sheer, for example: The stock price of Yeah, has already stood on 50 dollars steadily.

Today, an overseas “tide of Hi-Tech industry “listed of Chinese enterprise in the ascendant. On one hand, in the whole world, the Hi-Tech industry is at rejuvenation stage, the overseas security market looks forward to more fresh blood earnestly, especially hope for such fresh combatants' joining of high-tech enterprise of China Mainland. On the other hand, the medium and small-scale high-tech enterprise of China Mainland still faces the bottleneck of the fund, domestic GEM does not have whereabouts slowly, they need to seek the new fund-raising channel urgently. Domestic small and medium-sized enterprises have already become important strength of China's sustainable development, so far, private small and medium-sized enterprises were from 9 in 1990. 8 Ten thousand increase sharply to about 2 million families。But the gross output value which occupy nearly 1/4 of small and medium-sized enterprises which account for less than 1/8 in total amount of enterprise. Under the situation that the domestic fund-raising channel is still not spacious, they will stare at the eyes the wide overseas capital market naturally.

“The giant " Favor it abroad
