{{B}} Yang Yuanqing:{{/B}} After graduating from the
China Science and Technology University in 1989, Yang Yuanqing joined the Legend
Group. Still a young man at 36, Yang is in the vanguard of the Chinese computer
industry as the vicechairman of the Legend Group and general manager of the
Legend Computer Co. "The personal computer is a portal to the
Internet," says Yang in response to claims of a "post-PC era" sweeping through
the information industry. According to these claims, the IT focus is shifting
towards networks and PC manufacturing is in danger of declining. Though few
people doubt the staying power of Leg end, not everyone agrees with Yang's
belief in the importance of continued PC development.{{B}} Zhang
Xianghui:{{/B}} During his five years with Microsoft (China), Zhang
had led teams in the development of more than 100 Chinese versions of major
software packages, such as Windows 95, Windows 98, Office 95, Office 97,and the
upcoming Windows 2000. Perhaps his most outstanding achievement has
been the Venus Plan, which is expected to ignite a major revolution in the home
computer field. If a consumer doesn't read English or has a low educational
level, the Internet is virtually inaccessible. But the Venus Plan is poised to
change all that by giving Chinese speakers direct access to the Internet.
Industry experts believe the move will transform the structure of Internet use
in China.{{B}} Sa Qiqiang:{{/B}} Su Qiqiaug is a
co-founder of the Lianbang Software and User's Friend. When Su set up Federal
Soft ware in 1994 and initiated the industry's first chain marketing strategy,
he had no idea that he was rewriting the layout of the domestic software markets
and giving a needed shot-in-the-arm to the development of software industries.
In 1999, Su did it again. His first investment in E-commerce, 8848.
net, had also proven a successful story. Since it first went online in March of
last year,8848, net has become the busiest Chinese E-commerce site.{{B}}

discussions with netizens.{{B}} Zhang Chaoyang:{{/B}} His
company, Sohu, was China's first seed-money supported Internet company, was
Internet's first venture capital investment in China, and offered the first
major Chinese-language search engine. The many "firsts" achieved by Sohu (www.
