And the top 10 ranked Robin Li, Baidu Shi Yuzhu, respectively, and where the giant network is already Mingzhen quack of Internet companies.

"The overseas listing of domestic enterprises, has done the best or the international Taihang of which Morgan Stanley is doing the best." Not only from the data on this show. Even if an independent economist Xie left Morgan Stanley is still such an objective evaluation.

Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, although they are Daxing, but their experts were not big-name cast.

In order to private entrepreneurs and those who see or contact the factory, they often appear in the domestic Ersan Xian city. "Xinyu small enough, but Morgan Stanley to ordinary people." SinoVideo listed in Jiangxi Province, in the course of the employee share Xinyu. To La Shengyi, like Xie said, "They are a group to a group of enterprises to run, do PPT.

The listing process is complicated and long, "Financing" and other problems have always existed. However, if operated  with the top-class international investment bank, they will generally be able to obtain funds through private placement prior to listing. If it is the international investment banks such as Morgan Stanley, they often have the ability to control everything, IPO is much easier. Even the time from the approach of the intermediary to the completion of listing is predictable, the IPO funds become more available.
