263 Group has apparently purchased the instant communications website www.et66.com.

To date, the group has sent its own staff to Hangzhou while et66.com is dealing with post -acquisition issues.

This acquisition is thought to be of great significance to 263 whose profits have been dropping in recent years due to severe market competition. This move is expected to generate new profits for the Group with its free download software which 263 might bind with its email service in the future.
