Together with this, consolidated EBITDA grew 11% to TRY1.0 billion, EBIT rose 10% to TRY631 million, and net income climbed 22% to TRY699 million.The recent regulatory decisions effective as of July impacted our financial and operational performance. Yet, we have achieved strong results once again with our continued focus on innovation and operational excellence, investments in our infrastructure, and the increasing contribution of subsidiaries. While Turkcell Turkey revenue grew by 3% through 39% growth in mobile broadband, the revenues of our subsidiaries rose by 36%.In order to ensure the sustainability of strong growth, we continue to invest in our superior network with TRY1.0 billion investment in the first nine months and provide solutions that will put Turkcell ahead of the competition through technology and innovation. In this quarter, our "Technology at Work" offering, which provides new product suites, brought our corporate customers solutions to increase their competitiveness and efficiency. In addition, with our vision of widening access to mobile broadband, we have introduced Turkey's first domestically designed smart phone, the "T40", providing outstanding features at half the average market price of a smart phone.We take this opportunity to thank all of our customers, employees, business partners and shareholders who made our success possible."(1) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 12 for the reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash from operating activities. (2) Voice revenues include outgoing, incoming, roaming and other (comprising almost 1% of Turkcell Turkey) revenues. (3) Including eliminations.OVERVIEW OF TURKCELL TURKEYThe Turkish mobile market remained highly competitive in the first nine months of the year. Following a particularly aggressive Q1, we observed some upward price adjustments in late Q2 and Q3, although no major improvement was seen year-on-year. There are still a number of aggressive offers in the market, indicating a fragile pricing environment.In this environment, Turkcell Turkey remained focused on service quality and providing the best customer experience through innovation. As a result of this, plus the seasonality effect, we increased our subscriber base by 322 thousand net additions during the quarter. Additionally, our blended ARPU rose by 3.2% to TRY22.7 with the 2.9pp increase in the share of postpaid in our subscriber mix, and a 39% rise in our mobile broadband revenues on a year-on-year basis.On the terminal front, the smartphone market continued its growth momentum and our wide product portfolio and diverse offers sustained our leadership. In accordance with our strategy, we recorded the historically highest quarterly smartphone net additions of 882 thousand, reaching 8.4 million on our network, and a penetration rate of 26%. We continued to introduce the mobile broadband experience to more of our subscribers by offering affordable smartphones and tablets. In this respect, we launched Turkey's first domestically designed smartphone, namely the T40 in late September. The T40 provides high-tech features at half the average smartphone retail price in the Turkish market. It offers HD quality sound, Near Field Communication (NFC), advanced camera features, a new generation dual-core processor and a 4-inch display. Moreover, the "Tablet Festival" launched in July aimed to increase the number of 3G enabled tablets on our network.On the regulatory front, the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA) decisions on minimum on-net voice and on-net SMS tariffs(*), together with the voice and SMS MTR cuts came into effect as of July 1st, 2013. For this quarter, due to MTR cuts Turkcell Turkey revenue growth was 3% which would have been 7% without the MTR cuts based on our estimate. Decreased MTR rates may trigger lower retail pricing in the market which in turn could potentially increase the negative impact on our growth going forward.For the full year, assuming that current market conditions continue, we maintain our Group guidance and believe that we could post results around the high end of our revenue and EBITDA target ranges (**). This is mainly due to our strong first half Group performance and the increased contribution of our subsidiaries.(*) Minimum onnet voice and SMS prices apply only for Turkcell.(**)Please note that this is a forward looking statement based on our current estimates and expectations. Actual results may differ. For a discussion of factors that may affect our results, see our Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2012 filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and in particular the risk factor section therein.FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL REVIEW OF THE THIRD QUARTER 2013The following discussion focuses principally on the developments and trends in our business in the third quarter of 2013 in TRY terms.

(*) Please note that selected financial information presented in this press release for the third quarter of 2012, and the second and third quarters of 2013, both in TRY and US$ is based on IFRS figures.Revenue grew by 8% (12% excl. MTR cut impact) to TRY2,980.7 million (TRY2,752.8 million) year-on-year driven by Turkcell Turkey and subsidiaries.- Turkcell Turkey grew by 3% (7% excl. MTR cut impact). - Voice revenues declined by 3% to TRY1,664 million (TRY1,709 million) due to the MTR cut impact - Mobile broadband and services revenues rose 19% to TRY701 million (TRY591 million), comprising 30% (26%) of Turkcell Turkey revenues - The revenues of subsidiaries rose by 36% reaching 21% (16%) of Group revenues. In particular, Turkcell Superonline revenues rose by 27% to TRY237 million (TRY187 million), while Astelit's revenues grew by 12% to US$124 million (US$111 million).On a quarter-on-quarter basis, Group revenues rose by 4%, driven similarly by increased revenues from group companies, as well as the higher mobile broadband and services revenues of Turkcell Turkey.Direct cost of revenues climbed 5.4% to TRY1,754.0 million (TRY1,663.6 million) year-on-year, while as a percentage of revenues declined to 58.8% (60.4%) on a consolidated basis. This was due to the lower voice and other revenues due to MTR cuts along with lower interconnect costs. Meanwhile there was an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses and other cost items as a percentage of revenues.Quarter-on-quarter, direct costs as a percentage of revenues declined 3.2pp, driven mainly by the decrease in interconnect costs and other cost items.The table below presents the interconnect revenues and costs of Turkcell Turkey:Million TRY 2012 Q312 Q213 Q313 y/y % q/q %Interconnect revenues 1,098.1 308.3 345.8 266.7 (13.5%) (22.9%) as a % of revenues 12.6% 13.4% 14.9% 11.3% (2.1pp) (3.6pp) Interconnect costs (1,125.5) (308.4) (330.9) (249.4) (19.1%) (24.6%) as a % of revenues (12.9%) (13.4%) (14.3%) (10.5%) 2.9pp 3.8ppAdministrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased 0.4pp to 4.7% (4.3%) year-on year. This was due to the increase in bad debt expenses (0.3pp) and other cost items (0.1pp). On a quarter-on-quarter basis, administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues rose by 0.2pp driven by the increase in bad debt expenses (0.2pp).Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues grew by 0.8pp to 15.3% (14.5%) year-on-year due to the rise in selling expenses (0.9pp), and other cost items (0.3pp) as opposed to the decrease in marketing expenses (0.4pp). Compared to the previous quarter, selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues fell by 0.5pp driven by the decrease in marketing expenses (0.3pp) and other cost items (0.2pp).EBITDA* rose by 11.4% to TRY1,016.2 million (TRY912.0 million) in Q313 due mainly to strong topline growth, while the EBITDA margin improved by 1.0pp to 34.1% (33.1%). This was due to the 2.2pp decrease in the direct cost of revenues (excl. depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of revenues, as opposed to the rise in selling and marketing expenses by 0.8pp and general administrative expenses by 0.4pp.The EBITDA margin increased 3.7pp quarter-on-quarter to 34.1%. This was mainly due to the 3.4pp decrease in direct cost of revenues (excl. depreciation and amortization), and the 0.5pp fall in selling and marketing expenses, in contrast to the 0.2pp rise in general administrative expenses.The EBITDA of subsidiaries improved by 55% to TRY199 million (TRY128 million), while their contribution to Group EBITDA increased to 20% (14%) driven mainly by the improved EBITDA of Turkcell Superonline and Astelit year-on-year. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the EBITDA of subsidiaries rose by 17%.Net finance income increased to TRY137.5 million (TRY121.3 million) in Q313 driven mainly by the increased interest income earned on time deposits and contracted receivables.Compared to the previous quarter, net finance income stayed broadly flat. The increase in interest earned on bank deposits was offset by the translation loss of TRY28 million in Q313 as opposed to the translation gain of TRY12 million in Q213. The translation loss was mainly related to BeST which recorded a TRY40 million loss in Q313 stemming from a 3.3% devaluation of BYR against US$ during the quarter.(*) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 12 for the reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash from operating activities.Share of profit of equity accounted investees comprising our share in the net income of unconsolidated investees Fintur and A-Tel, rose by 52.5% year-on-year to TRY92.9 million (TRY60.9 million) due mainly to the increase in net income of Fintur, as well as the lower negative contribution from A-Tel. Quarter-on-quarter, our share in the net income of unconsolidated investees grew by 54.8% to TRY92.9 million from TRY60.0 million in Q213 due to the increased net income of Fintur.Income tax expense rose by 19.6% to TRY188.9 million (TRY157.9 million) year-on-year. Of the total tax charge, TRY195.5 million was the current tax charges, while TRY6.6 million was the deferred tax income recorded.Million TRY Q312 Q213 Q313 y/y % q/q %Current Tax expense (134.8) (149.6) (195.5) 45.0% 30.7% Deferred Tax Income/expense (23.1) 3.7 6.6 (128.6%) 78.4% Income Tax expense (157.9) (145.9) (188.9) 19.6% 29.5%Net income grew by 22.5% to TRY699.1 million (TRY570.8 million) in Q313, driven mainly by higher EBITDA, increased net finance income, higher income from equity accounted investees, and improvement in the other expense item, the latter including a TRY72 million A-Tel impairment recognized in Q312.Net income rose by 25.7% quarter-on-quarter. This was driven by higher EBITDA, income from equity accounted investees, monetary gain and improvement in the other expense item, the latter including a TRY25.4 million impairment recognized on Aks TV and T-Medya in Q213.Total debt as of September 30, 2013 was TRY3,205 million (US$1,576 million) in consolidated terms. The debt balance of Ukraine was TRY1,327 million (US$652 million), Belarus was TRY1,112 million (US$547 million) and Turkcell Superonline was TRY639 million (US$314 million).TRY2,290 million (US$1,126 million) of our consolidated debt is at a floating rate, while TRY1,768 million (US$869 million) will mature within less than a year. As of September 30, 2013, our debt/annual EBITDA ratio in TRY terms was 91%. (Please note that the figures in parentheses refer to US$ equivalents).Cash flow analysis: Capital expenditures including non-operational items amounted to TRY449.0 million in Q313, of which TRY232.4 million was related to Turkcell Turkey, TRY56.6 million to Astelit, TRY94.7 million to Turkcell Superonline and TRY27.8 million to BeST.

We expanded our prepaid subscriber base by 266 thousand, mainly with the seasonality effect, while increasing our postpaid subscriber base by 56 thousand. Accordingly, our postpaid subscriber base as a percentage of our total subscribers has further improved to 39.5% (36.6%).Churn Rate refers to voluntarily and involuntarily disconnected subscribers. According to the ICTA decision discussed in our Q113 and Q213 press releases, each mobile line registered has to be recorded as a churn and also as an acquisition in operators' records. This practice had an increasing impact on our actual churn rate, which stood at 6.9% (6.9%) year-on-year. Excluding the impact of this decision, our churn rate would have been 6.7%.MoU increased 5.6% to 271.6 minutes year-on-year driven by higher incentives and higher package utilization.ARPU (blended) rose 3.2% to TRY22.7 year-on-year driven by the rise in the share of postpaid subscribers along with higher mobile data usage while the MTR cuts did limit the growth. Postpaid ARPU increased to TRY38.5 (TRY38.4), and prepaid ARPU declined by 2.4% to 12.3 (TRY12.6) year-on-year.The quarter-on-quarter increase in ARPU of both segments was driven mainly by seasonality.OTHER DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONSAstelit maintained its strong financial and operational performance in Q313 posting double digit revenue and EBITDA growth. Revenues grew by 11.7% to US$124.0 million (US$111.0 million), mainly driven by subscriber growth along with increased usage of mobile data and other value-added services. EBITDA rose to US$38.2 million (US$31.7 million) by 20.5%, while the EBITDA margin rose by 2.2pp to 30.8% (28.6%) with the continuing focus on business efficiency and operational profitability. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, revenues increased by 10.2%, while EBITDA rose by 6.7%, due mainly to seasonality.Astelit's registered subscribers reached 12.2 million (10.7 million) through the targeted regional growth strategy, where its three month active subscribers were at 9.4 million (8.2 million).ARPU declined by 2.1% year-on-year, mainly due to new subscriber acquisitions with lower ARPU. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, ARPU climbed by 2.2% to US$4.6, mainly due to seasonality and higher usage of mobile data. Meanwhile, lower usage by new subscribers led to lower MoU of 174.0 minutes (184.4 minutes) in Q313.Astelit Q312 Q213 Q313 y/y % q/q %Number of subscribers (million)[1] 10.7 11.5 12.2 14.0% 6.1% Active (3 months)[2] 8.2 8.6 9.4 14.6% 9.3% MOU (minutes) 184.4 184.4 174.0 (5.6%) (5.6%) ARPU (Average Monthly Revenue per User), blended (US$) 3.5 3.3 3.5 - 6.1% Active (3 months) 4.7 4.5 4.6 (2.1%) 2.2% Revenue (million UAH) 887.0 898.9 991.0 11.7% 10.2% Revenue (million US$) 111.0 112.5 124.0 11.7% 10.2% EBITDA (million US$)[3] 31.7 35.8 38.2 20.5% 6.7% EBITDA margin 28.6% 31.8% 30.8% 2.2pp (1.0pp) Net loss (million US$) (11.3) (9.5) (6.0) (46.9%) (36.8%) Capex (million US$) 30.0 10.6 27.1 (9.7%) 155.7%(1) We may occasionally offer campaigns and tariff schemes that have an active subscriber life differing from the one that we normally use to deactivate subscribers and calculate churn.

EBITDA margin continued to improve with a 3.0pp year-on-year increase reaching 25.3%, mainly on the rising share of more profitable residential and corporate business segments. The share of residential and corporate segment revenues in total revenues increased to 63% (54%).Residential segment revenues rose by 56.5% with the increased FTTH subscriber base in Q313. Corporate segment revenues grew by 37.0% with the contribution of the increasing synergies achieved at the Group level and integrated solutions offered.In Q313, Turkcell Superonline grew its home passes to approximately 1.6 million with continued investment in the fiber network, while expanding its fiber subscriber base to around 521 thousand. Turkcell Superonline will maintain its focus on increasing in city coverage and take-up rate.The share of non-group revenues increased to 74% (71%) as Turkcell's share in Turkcell Superonline's business continued to decline.Turkcell Superonline (million TRY) Q312 Q213 Q313 y/y % q/q %Revenue 186.7 222.7 237.1 27.0% 6.5% Residential 54.2 78.3 84.8 56.5% 8.3% % of revenues 29.1% 35.2% 35.8% 6.7pp 0.6pp Corporate 47.3 60.2 64.8 37.0% 7.6% % of revenues 25.3% 27.0% 27.3% 2.0pp 0.3pp Wholesale 85.2 84.2 87.4 2.6% 3.8% % of revenues 45.6% 37.8% 36.9% (8.7pp) (0.9pp) EBITDA [1] 41.6 58.0 60.1 44.5% 3.6% EBITDA Margin 22.3% 26.1% 25.3% 3.0pp (0.8pp) Capex 119.4 73.1 94.7 (20.7%) 29.5% FTTH subscribers 373.6 498.8 520.6 39.3% 4.4%(1) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

We also use EBITDA as an internal measurement tool, and accordingly, we believe that its presentation provides useful and relevant information to analysts and investors. Our EBITDA definition includes Revenue, Direct Cost of Revenue excluding depreciation and amortization, Selling and Marketing expenses and Administrative expenses, but excludes translation gain/(loss), finance income, share of profit of equity accounted investees, gain on sale of investments, income/(loss) from related parties, minority interest and other income/(expense). EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be construed as a substitute for net earnings (loss) as a measure of performance, or cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity. The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measurement, to net cash from operating activities, which we believe is the most directly comparable financial measurement calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.Turkcell (million US$) Q312 Q213 Q313 y/y % q/q %EBITDA 506.2 471.5 514.0 1.5% 9.0% Income tax expense (87.7) (79.2) (95.4) 8.8% 20.5% Other operating income / (expense) (4.2) 0.4 (12.1) 188.1% (3125.0%) Financial income 3.4 2.1 271.7 7891.2% 12838.1% Financial expense (23.8) (15.0) (20.8) (12.6%) 38.7% Net increase / (decrease) in assets and liabilities 16.0 (82.9)(226.8) (1517.5%) 173.6% Net cash from operating activities 409.9 296.9 430.6 5.1% 45.0%Turkcell Superonline (million TRY) Q312 Q213 Q313 y/y % q/q %EBITDA 41.6 58.0 60.1 44.5% 3.6% Income tax expense - 2.6 0.9 - (65.4%) Other operating income / (expense) 1.2 0.3 (2.9) (341.7%) (1066.7%) Financial income 2.2 1.7 1.9 (13.6%) 11.8% Financial expense (15.8) (13.7) (20.8) 31.6% 51.8% Net increase / (decrease) in assets and liabilities 29.0 (54.3) 17.9 (38.3%) (133.0%) Net cash from operating activities 58.2 (5.4) 57.1 (1.9%) (1157.4%)Euroasia (million US$) Q312 Q213 Q313 y/y % q/q %EBITDA 31.7 35.8 38.2 20.5% 6.7% Other operating income / (expense) - 0.1 0.2 - 100.0% Financial income 0.8 0.7 0.3 (62.5%) (57.1%) Financial expense (14.7) (15.8) (12.9) (12.2%) (18.4%) Net increase / (decrease) in assets and liabilities 16.6 12.2 17.7 6.6% 45.1% Net cash from operating activities 34.4 33.0 43.5 26.5% 31.8%FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: This release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Safe Harbor provisions of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

信訪局高官劈炮轉做律師
【本報訊】全國人大常委會辦公廳信訪局副局長黃力群,mini storage疑因面對每日對各地訪民冤情,卻無力幫助解決,最近突然辭官轉行當律師,引發輿論關注。他否認「棄暗投明」,卻認為「訪民大多有理」,暗示信訪官員有心無力。網民認為,黃在信訪局了解太多冤情和社會黑暗,惟只能袖手旁觀,才棄官而去。評論指「棄暗投明」《新京報》報道,五十六歲的黃力群最近辭去信訪局副局長職務,提前退休,並於近日加入北京一律師事務所任實習律師,負責協助信訪案件。評論指黃此舉儲存「棄暗投明」;惟他前日受訪時表示,辭官想法已有三年,自己也非常珍視此前工作經歷。對於目前的信訪制度和狀況,黃表示,老百姓覺得冤屈,對政府、公檢法的工作有不滿而選擇信訪,是再正常不過的做法。他透露,全國人大常委會信訪局接觸的大多是涉法投訴案件,民眾多是對案件判決不滿而上訪,客觀來說,選擇上訪的民眾大多都是有道理。黃又暗批地方政府腐敗,指很多上訪案件,其實完全可以做到在當地解決。例如訪民冀中星在首都機場放爆炸品的悲劇,本也可避免。迷你倉

市場盛傳越秀集團洽購創興銀行(1111)的交易快將揭盅,mini storage廖創興企業(194)及創興銀行昨天雙雙停牌。另有報道指出,新加坡華僑銀行亦考慮競購永亨銀行(302);受相關消息帶動,中小型銀行股價昨天飆升;其中大新銀行(2356)更大升10.25%,收報15.7元。廖企及創銀昨天發出停牌的聯合公布,表示以待根據收購及合併守則刊發公告。市場人士相信,這與越秀集團洽購創銀的交易有關,外電周三引述消息指出,交易即將達成協議,最快可於本周內公布。金英證券(香港)中國香港銀行研究副總監陳昔典指出,創銀的交易一旦落實,有關的收購將成為正被潛在買家洽購的永亨銀行作價指標。他估計,越秀收購創銀的市賬率約2.24倍,即每股作價38.35元。垂涎港財富管理業另外,彭博引述消息指出,東南亞第二大銀行華僑銀行,過去兩個多星期,一直就永亨銀行提出收購建議進行研究。華僑銀行發言人對報道未有置評。市場早前盛傳農行(1288)、大華銀行及澳新銀行均有意收購永亨,惟農行發言人表示,該行暫無海外收購儲存劃。花旗報告認為,華僑銀行洽購永亨,可能是認為離岸的內地相關業務增長及香港的財富管理業務吸引。大中華是華僑銀行亞洲區增長策略的聚焦市場,但該行過去的併購顯示,若以市賬率1.8 倍收購資產回報率僅1%,而股本回報率少於10%,以至每股盈利增長前景一般的銀行,華僑銀行或會認為太貴。若收購不利用新資金,對華僑銀行而言,有關收購金額或會過大。陳昔典估計,東盟地區業務仍為星資銀行重要業務,未來東盟地區與內地的跨境業務尤為重要,由於香港、上海及新加坡均為人民幣的清算中心,收購永亨有助該行拓展北亞地區業務,從而加強東盟與內地的跨境人民幣離岸業務。中小型銀行股價飆升華僑銀行於2009 年入股內地寧波銀行,翌年亦完成收購ING 的亞洲區私人銀行業務,後易名為新加坡銀行,涉及金額達14.5億美元。受到消息刺激,永亨股價昨天上升2.45%,收報117.1 元;大新銀行及大新金融(440)升幅更大,大新銀行飆升10.25%,收報15.7 元;大新金融則升5.51%,收報51.7元。迷你倉

全國版
羊城晚報訊 記者戴曼曼報道:10月25日起,儲存倉貸款基礎利率(LoanPrimeRate,簡稱LPR)集中報價和發佈機制正式運行。央行不再指導貸款基礎利率,新的基礎利率就在商業銀行聯合報價的基礎上,通過一定的公式計算形成。全國銀行間同業拆借中心將于工作日每天11:30公佈貸款基礎利率的報價。 首批參與報價行共9家,分別為工商銀行、農業銀行、中國銀行、建設銀行、交通銀行、中信銀行、浦發銀行、興業銀行和招商銀行。全國銀行間同業拆借中心為貸款基礎利率的指定發佈人。每個工作日在各報價行報出本行貸款基礎利率的基礎上,剔除最高、最低各1家報價後,將剩餘報價作為有效報價,以各有效報價行上季度末人民幣各項貸款餘額占所有有效報價行上季度末人民幣各項貸款總餘額的比重為權重,進行加權平均計算,得出貸款基礎利率報價平均利率,于每個工作日迷你倉最平過上海銀行間同業拆放利率網對外公佈。市場利率定價自律機制將按年對報價行的報價質量進行監督評估,促進提升貸款基礎利率的基準性和公信力。 新浪財經專欄作家向小田撰文為貸款基礎利率報價和發佈機制叫好,認為貸款基礎利率市場自由定價,意味著貸款利率市場化改革徹底到位。但大銀行報價影響權重較大。而一些業內人士也擔憂,在金融機構逐利的過程中,可能出現定價的非理性化。如果沒有建立一個透明化的市場,很容易存在價格同盟的狀況,金融機構可能會抱團使利率最大化,這明顯不利於利率市場化的推進。銀行間還需要完善自律機制,降低因盲目定價而產生的風險。 交通銀行首席經濟學家連平也認為,迄今貸款利率市場化改革尚未徹底完成。首先未來個人按揭貸款下限的逐步放開將會配合房地產市場調控穩妥推進,而央行公佈的貸款基準利率將會視LPR的運行情況逐步退出。戴曼曼迷你倉

素被業界認為資本高手的陳天橋,迷你倉每一次出手都會引起一陣蝴蝶效應。 日前新世界(600628.SH)發佈2013年三季度報顯示,“上海盛大新創投資管理有限公司(以下簡稱“盛大投資”)成為第二大股東,所持股份占公司總股本的4.1%”,逼近5%的舉牌紅線。盛大投資突然浮出水面的此番舉動,引發外界無數猜想。關於此舉,盛大方面確認僅僅是“一個投資行為”,但是另一種聲音猜測,不排除盛大網絡借殼上市、重回A股的可能性。但是接近盛大網絡的人士表示,私有化之後的盛大正在向互聯網控股型集團轉變,這種轉型也是陳天橋從“網絡迪斯尼”到盛大私有化之後投資邏輯的改變。 據不完全統計,從2002年開始,遊戲起家的盛大已經開始通過頻繁投資,走上快速擴張的道路。過去的十年間,盛大投資了140多個項目。伴隨資本不斷伸向上游鏈條,在陳天橋的棋局中,盛大逐漸涉足文學、電影、音樂、視頻、遊戲五大領域。但是快速的擴張,在娛樂帝國的雛形搭建好之後,開始暴露諸多問題。如何將攬入旗下的資源進行有效整合,一度是陳天橋最苦惱的問題。盛大內部也多次強調協同作戰的重要性,提倡在資源的有效整合下達到協同效應。 值得注意的是,2010年開始,盛大加大了對移動互聯網領域的投資,投資清單也頗為壯觀,投資對象包括多家在垂直領域靠前的移動互聯網公司。其中包括威峰網、安智網、N多網等分發渠道,以及天氣軟件墨跡天氣、GPS手機地圖軟件老虎地圖、連接手機和電腦的助手軟件魔樂等移動互聯網的應用,同時還布局盛付通作為支付通道。 2012年盛大私有化落幕之後,盛大進入瘦身期,陳天橋亦開始重新梳理集團架構,盤點手中資產。陳天橋即提出了三橫三縱的架構,重新聚焦遊戲、文學、視頻三大內容mini storage業,並確立了支付、雲計算、廣告系統三條技術支撐主線。彼時,盛大集團高級副總裁、新聞發言人張瑾接受《中國經營報》記者採訪,針對盛大私有化之後的戰略部署表示,私有化前後,盛大對自己的定位並未改變,將繼續貫徹互動媒體戰略的推進,在全媒體產業鏈上繼續發力。2012年4月,盛大將杭州邊鋒和上海浩方出售給浙報傳媒(600633.SH),被認為是私有化之後典型的瘦身行動。在分析人士看來,陳天橋的投資策略也在發生改變,“將會偏向穩健,戰略與實際收益並重”。 而同年入職盛大網絡集團擔任總裁的邱文友,更加證實了盛大的轉型:私有化之後的盛大更接近投資控股者的角色。據盛大網絡公開資料顯示,邱文友曾擔任美銀美林董事總經理以及亞太區科技、媒體和電信投資銀行部主管,並曾任美林國際(台灣)董事長,及美林亞太區直接投資部董事總經理等職務。在中國TMT行業耕耘多年,曾參與亞信、新浪、巨人網絡、盛大互動娛樂、盛大遊戲等首次公開招股,以及盛大互動娛樂私有化,聯想收購IBM個人電腦業務。在接受外界採訪時,邱曾明確表示,“盛大在外人眼中的確像PE;集團將會向‘投資者+守護者’的角色演化。” 邱文友的出現實際非常符合陳天橋在盛大轉型過程中投資觀念的變化。在接近盛大的人士看來,從迪斯尼戰略落幕之後,陳天橋積極帶領盛大完成了私有化。盛大的投資概念將圍繞瘦身後的新架構,另外一面更注重實際收益。 陳天橋的戰略收購者角色也在逐漸褪去更多的夢想色彩,變得務實。毫無疑問,陳天橋的資本操作仍將左右盛大未來的發展。一方面可能圍繞現有的三項核心業務,遊戲、文學與視頻;另外一方面,移動互聯網以及邱文友熟悉的TMT行業仍會被重點關注。而此番入股新世界,則更傾向投資屬性的一面。迷你倉

Partnership hires local marketing veteran
Source: The Buffalo News, N.self storageY.Oct. 25--A longtime marketing veteran from economic development, real estate and business circles has joined the Buffalo Niagara Partnership as a senior executive.The Partnership has named Therese J. Hickok as its new vice president of marketing and engagement, luring her away from her role as senior marketing manager for Uniland Development Co. She will work with new president and CEO Dottie Gallagher-Cohen to achieve the organization's mission.Gallagher-Cohen said Hickok will work to communicate the extent of the Partnership's work, which the CEO acknowledged is not well-understood by most people."It's about helping me bridge the gap in the community between what the Partnership's brand is and the work we actually do," Gallagher-Cohen said. "The product is better than the brand here. The work that we do is just better than what people know."As a result, despite its achievements, the group has suffered some image problems, with some questioning what it really does."The Partnership has a very strong reputation and we certainly enjoy a lot of support from our members. But I think there are very few people that understand the depth of all that we are involved in," she said. "And we have not done a very good job of communicating that."Hickok's new job is a return of sorts to one of the first stops in her career. Prior to Uniland, she served as director of communications at Buffalo-based health insurer HealthNow New York, but previously she was director of marketing and communications at the Buffalo Niagara Enterprise -- the private-sector-funded economic development organization that shares space and staff with the Partnership. She has also worked at E-3 Communications and for the City of Buffalo."I have had Therese on my radar screen for over a decade," Gallagher-Cohen said. "Therese is the kind of person that just gets it. She understands marketing and comm迷利倉nications and has a very good network. Because of her background, she understands economic development at a level that not many people do."The hiring also comes at a critical time for business groups like the Partnership and the area's chambers of commerce, which are trying to find new ways to work together, while justifying their continued existence. The Partnership, as a regional group, has more heft to advocate for its members at the state and local level, and to assist members with business development or training. But changes in the regional economy, business community and demographics have made membership in local groups less relevant for many businesses.Smaller chambers, in particular, are re-evaluating their missions and functions, now that healthcare reform laws are taking away a key part of their business: selling group health insurance to sole-proprietors and small businesses that can't get it or afford it on their own. In the past, they joined chambers so they could purchase coverage through the group.But with the advent of the state's health insurance exchange, that revenue source -- as much as half the budget for some organizations -- is going away."We are all undergoing changes in our business model, because of healthcare reform," Gallagher-Cohen said. "So for many of us, we're sort of figuring out how we do business in the new economy."That could include more collaborations, and possibly eventually mergers, though Gallagher-Cohen said nothing like that is being discussed right now. "One of the things we are talking about internally here is how can we support these chambers," Gallagher-Cohen said. "They provide a vital role in the community and we don't want to see them disappear."email: jepstein@buffnews.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Buffalo News (Buffalo, N.Y.)
