Hunan TV's Mango TV Raises 500 Mln Yuan
Mango TV, an Internet video site under Hunan TV, has reportedly finished its first round of financing and managed to raise 500 million yuan.
The fund is said to be for purchasing more web content and improve their technologies.
Mango TV expects advertising income to reach 800 million yuan this year, 10 times compared with that of 2014.
