"Cnnest" combines Internet, mobile Internet, newspapers and call centers that combined together form a multimedia platform of real estate services.

Hidy Cheng, Vice President of Dragon Venture and General Manager of Cnnest, commented, "The Cnnest Model is the third generation trade model in the industry of real estate. We believe our model provides a complete solution for anybody who has a cell phone or can access the Internet. As the widespread use of cell phones in China continues to grow, we believe our Mobile model will become a standard for the industry. In Shanghai, China alone, the transactional volume of real estate sales and rentals exceeded over $14.65 billion and 27.28 billion in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Our fees are only 30% of traditional brokerage fees. As the market for real estate in Shanghai, and throughout the country continues to boom as projected, we believe that with only a small percentage of market penetration that the company will be able to generate tens of million of dollars in income."
