The Chinese famous blogger Hongbo has decided to establish an Internet Consultancy named "Wuji Consulting" with Liuren, producer of Donews, the largest IT writing community in China.

Hongbo officially resigned from Qianxiang on January 31, 2007 and at the same time left the position of Donews' editor-in-chief.

Hongbo and Liuren stated in a special interview with tech.sina.com yesterday afternoon that there was no capital investment in the initial stage of the new company which has recently started operations.

It was understood that the company will operate in the form of a partnership and establish a loose coordinating mode. The independent consultants will gain a majority of profits from clients. Currently, in addition to Hongbo and Liuren who are two founders of the company, Lao Bai, another Donews' blogger, acts as a consultant.

Hongbo is committed to an independent and iconoclastic worldview, which he states is the direct reason for his resignation from Qianxiang. This is also the impulse behind the founding of his own company.

Since Donews was acquired by Qianxiang at the end of 2005, Hongbo has always refused to become part of the Qianxiang operational structure. He also admitted that he is a special case among the employees. He wasn't required to work in the office and also he wasn't rated against the various internal employee performance indexes. 

As Qianxiang became listed on the stock market and performance pressure constantly increased, Donews levied stricter requirements on the company in terms of worker performance.

The short-term development target of Hongbo's new company aims at funds generation and structural accounting. 

Hongbo said that he has started supporting himself through the development of several clients and in the long run he hoped to build up the consultancy brand in the Web2.0 era.

It is understood that currently Tudou.com, BabyTree and Hongding Investment have become Hongbo's chief clients. In the future the new company will explore more new customers mainly through the existing personal relationship of the on-staff consultants.
