1.2.2 China art investment market
From 2007 to 2011 Chinese art turnover respectively is 636 million yuan, 11.39 billion yuan, 3.5 billion yuan, 5.99 billion yuan, 13.408 billion yuan. Just five years it has increased for 22 times. At the same time China has formed three art auction center cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. China's per capita GDP in 2003 firstly exceeded more than $1000 to $1090. Art investment market starts (Feagin, 2011).
Fig 3: 2007-2011 China art turnover
In the domestic market of Chinese art market, almost the whole people participate in the art collection and investment. Chinese art collection industry appears to develop in the unprecedented speed. The state policy to the art collection is gradually loosing, domestic auction houses and artwork market rapidly develop. China also sets up a number of organizations for research and exchange. At present the art collection enthusiasts are increasing by 10% to 20% a year (Roy, 2011).
However, too many art collectors join in this market but lack experience and appreciate ability, so the speculators find out the opportunity of fraud, leading to the apprearance of many fake arts in the market. At the same time, there are less ways to identify art collections, a lot of folk organizations’ appraisal ability is limited, if people want museums or archaeological research organizations to identify them, for one thing these organizations do not have this kind of business, even if they provide regular service for the people, neither can satisfy the demand of the art collection lovers. Moreover, there are plenty of ancestral collections, people are not professional buyers and sellers, so it is hard for they to sell or to transfer the arts.
1.3 Operation and management team
The company alters the organizational form according to the different development phases. Because the creative industry’s organization mode needs enough flexiblity, so it needs to stimulate organization innovation.

At the same time, the supervisor of the 5AiBao Co., LTD. (5aibao.

2.The Business and its Strategy
2.1 Operation and development
2.1.1 Team
5AiBao management team is a primarily youth entrepreneurial team, respectively come from Zhejiang province universities, but they have more than one year successful operation B2C e-commerce experience (www.win3g.cn). Team personnel structure is reasonable, and all of them completely have the ability to operate 5AiBao.com.
2.1.2 Intenal division of labor

Website art design has been mostly completed. This is to lay the solid foundation foro put into operation on Jan 31th, 2012.
2.1.4 Staff incentives
For the backbone employees who join in 5aibao.com in the initial stage, when they give up a high salary to take basic wages, they can get a certain proportion of one-time shares of the company. For the staff who join in the company in the early three years, each monthly they can get one over twenty four quite standard staffs’ options.
The research and development funds and personnel investment plan (ten thousand yuan) in the future 3 to 5 years (see table 1):
| Year | First year | Second year | Third year | Fourth year | Fifth year |
| Fund investment | 3 | 12 | 25 | 80 | 160 |
| Staff | 3 | 5 | 6 | 8 | 10 |
2.2 Michael Porter's Five Forces Model analysis
Five Force model is proposed by Michael Porter in 1980s. it can effectively analyze the competition environment. Five forces include suppliers’ bargaining power, purchasers’ bargaining power, potential competitors’ enterance, alternatives, competitors (Jarvenpaa, 1999).
2.2.1 Suppliers of art trade and online users
Suppliers of art trade include professional collectors, collecting lovers, ordinary collectors, artists, art identification experts and appraisers, entrepreneurs and business operators of art.
2.2.2 Purchasers’ bargaining power
Ebay and Taobao hold tens of millions of registered users, each have alipay and anfutong online payment tools. But too comprehensive trade types and general deal flow can not adapt to all of the transaction objects (Louis, 1988）, antique is a good example. We find out in taobao and ebay that 95% of the antique tradings are fake (Roy, 2011).
Similar works of art and antique trade needs a large number of professional support (David, Luck, Ferrell, 1985). Obviously a general trading program can not adapt to the complex and varied antique and art deal. Relying on mass of registered users, ebay and taobao in low-cost art (handicraft is more appropriate) will substantially lead 5aibao.com. But because they can't offer high-grade antique trade environment and professional support.
2.2.3 Potential competitors’ enterance
| Type | WEB |
Alxea ranking |
| Comprehensive online trade platform | Ebay | 11 |
| TaoBao | 21 | |
| Art online trade website | trade.artron.net | 3,007 |

| Art identification website | www.gg-art.com | 8,775 |
| www.chinajdsj.com | 606,491 | |
| www.hytang.com | 1,509,171 |
2.2.4 Alternatives
Entity shops’ antique sales, the auction houses and art galleries are the alternatives of network art trade (Chau, 1988). 5AiBao.com and the industry maintain close cooperation, which make entity shops and galleries enter 5aibao.com as far as possible.
2.2.5 Competitors within the industry
Instead, the existing industry professional competitors bring a great competition, especially in the early stages (Childers, 1972). From the national scale, trade.artron.net is one of the most powerful competitors. As for the art trade on the net, we have to talk about , which is the NO1 of Chinese art online trading platform. But, www.5aibao.com’s experts identified advantage will combine trade and appraisal, which can attract potential buyers and sellers to make the good faith management website, this is that the other competitors don't have.
