Changyou, sohu's game company, plans IPO

Changyou Company(Changyou.com), the subsidiary game company of Sohu
Inc., will release its prospectus in two days and chooses Nasdaq as
its listing destination. The company plans to begin "road show" in
several days and its IPO price ranges from $12 to $16, according to a
reliable source.

A reliable source said Changyou will hold its road show first in Hong
Kong, then in Europe and at last in the United States in about two
weeks. Sohu's CEO Charles Zhang will not attend the road shows but he
may ring the bell when Changyou begins its IPO at Nasdaq.

Earlier on March Sohu handed over 10-K files to U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission and according to the files 17.7 percent of
Changyou shares will be distributed to its staff, among which Wang
Tao, the person in charge of the game company, will individually get
15 percent of the shares.

With his team Wang Tao developed "Tianlongbabu," a game propping up
Sohu's profits in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Sohu's game sector was founded in 2002. At the beginning Sohu tried
the role of agents for two online game "Knights Online" in February,
2003 and "Swords" in 2004. After several years Sohu established its
own company -- Changyou and began its research and development of new
online games.

Olympic venues in post-olympic times

The Olympic Green is undoubtedly one of the inevitable sightseeing
places in Beijing, even six monthes after the Olympic Games. But the
projected profit-making events don't seem going so smoothly.

"Ready? One, two, three!" With a crisp sound of shutter a tourist took
a photo against the background of Bird's Nest.

Even though it's windy and sandy on the very day some tourists still
swarm to the place, visiting the spectacular diamond tower, unique
Water Cube and steel-made Bird's Nest. For those who don't participate
the one-hundred year dream of the Olympics at the very place in
August, 2008, they want to have an impression.

Contrary to the other stuffed subways, Olympic subway line 8 is much
comfortable, and people are easy to find empty seats. Stepping out of
one of the exits in Olympic Green Station, passengers are just in the
sinking garden of the Olympic Green, which is designed with
traditional Chinese elements, such as hutong, drums, bronze chimes,
bamboos, stone tables and stools.

Tourists need not pay for an outside sightseeing of these gorgeous
construction, and currently there are no business sectors inside. Some
projected events are still under construction after six months. It is
still a concern about how to make profits using these construction.

A report said the other day that Adidas will get the naming right of
the National Stadium--Bird's Nest by paying some sum of money.
Nevertheless, it's a well-known problem that how to make full use of
the sports venues after the game.

After saying goodbye to throngs of Olympic athletes and audiences
Bird's Nest now rests itself in the northern Beijing, tasting its ever
glory and present loneliness.
