The "2007 Capital Circle Lifestyle Award Ceremony" hosted by the Securities Market Weekly was closed in Beijing on the evening of March 3. The magazine has released the result of its annual survey which directed at "high-end" groups of people with extremely high salaries in the circle of listed companies, banks, securities companies, investment banks, foreign banks, insurance companies, futures companies, etc. and owners of top 500 private enterprises as well. Sina.com has won the "Award of News Website with Greatest Favor", which shows its brand advantage among those "high-end" people.

The ceremony is part of the Macro-Economic Forecasting Spring Annual Conference 2007 & Value Investing Forum hosted by the Securities Market Weekly. The host claimed that the survey was mainly directed at those groups of people with extremely high salaries in the circle of listed companies, banks, securities companies, investment banks, foreign banks, insurance companies, futures companies and top 500 private enterprises, etc. Such survey shows, to some extent, the consumption potential of luxuries in China.
