Private Equity

Shong, an executive with International Data Group since 1993, assisted Mr. Patrick McGovern, the chairman, in establishing an initial $50 million IDGVC venture fund in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong. In the past few years, Shong has been an acknowledged rainmaker in directing IDG's acquistion or launch of nearly 10 IT publication joint ventures and magazines in China.
Although unconfirmed, IDG apparently held a 30 percent equity stake in China Finance Online. Some Hong Kong analysts have speculated that IDG invested nearly $5 million in China Finance Online.
Mr. Shong is responsible for IDG's businesses in 15 Asian countries and regions. He also serves as a director for several public and private companies in both China and the U.S. With a proliferation of of experienced bloggers providing investing insights and data on the China market, the media paid content landscape may prove challenging even for the IDG midas managment.
