Tencent Tech, 7/15/11
A source inside Chinese consumer electronics company Beijing Huaqi (Aigo) said today that the company had dissolved its new services division as part of a decision to leave the e-reader market, and is currently clearing out its e-reader stocks. The source said there had been no change to the company's IPO plans.
According to the source, four senior managers -- including Aigo Electronics VP Huang Huihua, and new services division GM Hu Xiaodong -- recently left the company, and Aigo deputy chairman Qu Jingdong is now a part of Aigo in name only.
