George
told us, "For
most Chinese people, to participate
a meeting in the Great Hall of the
People is once in a life time
event and it was an amazing
experience for me. This conference changed
the status of Chinese domainers.
Domaining has become a noble
occupation and this conference
introduced the industry to a much
broader audience."
The Beijing TV
station (BTV) even sent staff to cover the
event and interviewed participants
King Wang,
founder of YMQ.cn, Jian Zhou
from Xinnet.com,
Yiming Mou from YMF.com,
Xiaosheng
Liu from WRZ.com
and Donghong Chan from 400.com,
who reiterated
the
importance
of domains
to trademark, brand and finance
in
the internet application market.

With
the Chinese stock market going down
this year a lot of people have been
surprised to see domain buyers
spending more money than ever,
but many experts say that stock
market decline has actually been a
big positive for the domain
business. It has caused those with substantial
cash assets to look elsewhere
for investments that they think will
not only retain value but also have
a chance to appreciate as the
Internet boom continues to reshape
world commerce. A YMQ.cn account of
the conference said, "Undoubtedly, domains, as
rare resources, are getting more and more important for improving brand image and for deepening users brand memory in the Internet era."
U.S.
domain owners have long dreamed
of a day when domains would be
viewed as investment quality assets
but, until this year, |

few would have
guessed we would see the first
substantial move in that direction
come from somewhere other than the
U.S. |
During
a domain auction at the 2015 Digital
Assets Summit in Beijing, bidders
study the auction catalog looking
for investment grade buying
opportunities.
Our
thanks to George Hong and YMQ.cn for
their insight into this important
event in China. We also
continue to appreciate the work
George has done in helping to build
a bridge between the U.S. and
China domain markets that is paying
big dividends to industry
participants on both sides of the
globe.
