Emay Ruantong drawing 10 millions USD from IDGVC to develop mobile e-business

It is known that Beijing Emay Ruantong Technology Co., Ltd. will absorb a risk investment of about 10 million USD from IDG Technology Venture Investment（hereinafter referred to as "IDGVC"）to develop mobile e-business.

Risk investment from IDG will mainly be allocated in the field of mobile e-business, Internet and entertainment, with the mobile e-business as the hotspot.

Different from common SP (wireless value-added service provider) who is focused on entertainment service, mobile e-business is engaged in commerce and bringing benefits for the customers. In the field of wireless mobile service, SPs who are dedicated to SM service cannot absorb risk investment any more due to the strict control on the operators and the province-based settlement method. This provides a great opportunity for the development of mobile e-business. After drawing an investment of over one million USD from IDGVC in the last year, Emay increased the number of its enterprise users from 3000 to over 30,000 in only a year. The business volume was also increased by hundreds of times.
