(the “Corporation”) will be as from time to time set forth in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or in any certificate filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the appropriate county Recorder or Recorders, as the case may be, to amend such information.

Section 1.2 Other Offices

The Corporation may also have companies and offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Delaware, (these places can be within and without America), as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.1 Place of Meetings

All meetings of the stockholders for the election of Directors will be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Meetings of stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

Section 2.2 Annual Meeting

An annual meeting of the stockholders will be held at such time as may be determined by the Board of Directors, at which meeting the stockholders will elect a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 2.3 List of Stockholders

At least ten (10) days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of voting shares registered in the name of each, will be prepared by the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books. Such list will be kept on file at the registered office of the Corporation for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting and will be subject to inspection by any stockholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list will be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and will be subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present.

Section 2.4 Special Meetings

Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, may be called by the President or the Board of Directors, or will be called by the President or Secretary of the Board of Directors at the request in writing of the holders of not less than thirty percent (30%) of all the shares issued, outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request will state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at all special meetings will be confined to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting unless all stockholders entitled to vote are present and consent.

Section 2.5 Notice

Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of any meeting of the stockholders and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, will be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary of the Board of Directors (the “Secretary”), or person calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If mailed, such notice will be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail or China Post, addressed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

Section 2.6 Quorum

With respect to any matter, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on that matter will be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. For purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum under this Section 2.6, abstentions and broker non-votes (as such terms are defined in Section 2.7) shall be treated as shares present and entitled to vote.

Section 2.7 Voting

When a quorum is present at any meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on, and voted for or against, any matter will decide any questions brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision will govern and control the decision of such question but if such other express provision does not specify that the affirmative vote of a given percent of outstanding shares are required, the matter shall be approved or adopted if the required percent of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy and voting for or against such a matter has voted for. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted (even though such shares are considered present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum pursuant to Section 2.6). The term “abstentions” shall refer to shares which are not voted for or against a particular question by a holder or holders present in person or by proxy at a meeting and entitled to vote such shares on such question. The term “broker non-vote” shall refer to shares held by brokers or nominees as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and that the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power to vote on that particular question on which the vote is being counted. The stockholders present in person or by proxy at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

Section 2.8 Method of Voting

Each outstanding share of the Corporation’s capital stock, regardless of class or series, will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class or series are limited or denied by the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time. At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder having the right to vote will be entitled to vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by such stockholder and bearing a date not more than three (3) years prior to such meeting, unless such instrument provides for a longer period. A telegram, telex, cablegram or similar transmission by the stockholder, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the stockholder, shall be treated as an execution in writing for purposes of the preceding sentence. Each proxy will be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and if, only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Such proxy will be filed with the Secretary prior to or at the time of the meeting. Voting for Directors will be in accordance with Article III of these Bylaws. Voting on any question or in any election may be by voice vote or show of hands unless the presiding officer orders or any stockholder demands that voting be by written ballot.

Section 2.9 Record Date

The Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, such record date to be not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to such meeting. In the absence of any action by the Board of Directors, the close of business on the date next preceding the day on which the notice is given will be the record date, or, if notice is waived, the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held will be the record date.

Section 2.10 Action by Consent

Except as prohibited by law, any action required or permitted by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and will be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware or the address appointed by the Board of Directors, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the minute book.

Section 2.11 Notice of Matters to be Considered

At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the announced principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than fifty (50) days nor more than seventy-five (75) days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than sixty-five (65) days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such pubic disclosure was made. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business.

Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.11; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with said procedure.

The Chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.11, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Section 2.12 Nominations

Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, by any nominating committee or person appointed by the Board of Directors or by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of Directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.12. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than fifty (50) days nor more than seventy-five (75) days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than sixty-five (65) days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the date on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. Such stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the person, and (iv) any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of Directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record address of the stockholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director of the Corporation. No person shall be eligible for election as a Director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

Section 3.3 Number

The number of Directors of the Corporation will be at least three (3). The number of Directors authorized will be fixed as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate, or if no such designation has been made, the number of Directors will be the same as the number of members of the initial Board of Directors as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. No decrease in the number of Directors will have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Director.

Section 3.4 Removal

Any Director may be removed either for or without cause at any special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote for the election of such Director; provided, that notice of intention to act upon such matter has been given in the notice calling such meeting.

Section 3.5 Vacancies

Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors and any vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors caused by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of any Directors or otherwise, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or a successor or successors may be chosen at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.

Section 3.8 Regular Meetings

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held quarterly without notice at such time and place as is from time to time determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Regular meetings can be held by the Board of Directors, or held by the Secretary of Board of Directors according to the normal procedures to notice all Directors, after a proposal in writing, setting forth to hold the Regular meetings, is signed by at least one third (including) of the Directors and submitted to the Secretary of Board of Directors.

Section 3.9 Special Meetings

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the President on oral or written notice to each Director, given either personally, by telephone, by telegram or by mail; special meetings will be called by the President or the Secretary in like manner and on like notice on the written request of at least two (2) Directors. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting need be specified in a notice or waiver of notice.

Section 3.10 Quorum; Majority Vote

At all meetings of the Board of Directors the presence of a majority of the number of Directors then in office will be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Every Director has one(1) voting right, regardless of whether he has shares of the Company or how many shares he has, and the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds(2/3) of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of the Board of Directors(if 2/3 of the Directors is not an integer, round up to the nearest one person, e.g. if 2/3 of the Directors is calculated to be 4.67, the 2/3 of the Directors should be 5), except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

Section 3.11 Interested Directors

No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its Directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of the Corporation’s Directors or officers are Directors or officers or have a financial interest, will be void or voidable solely for this reason, solely because the Director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof that authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested Directors, even though the disinterested Directors be less than a quorum, (ii) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee that authorizes the contract or transaction.

Section 3.12 Action by Consent

Any action that related to a huge benefits or the future development direction of the company, or not included in these Bylaws and beyond the powers and duties of the President/CEO, which are prescribed by the Board of Directors, should be required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors, or may be taken without such a meeting if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all the members of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be.

Section 3.13 Compensation of Directors

Directors will receive such compensation for their services and reimbursement for their expenses as the Board of Directors, by resolution, may establish; provided that nothing herein contained will be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Attendance of a stockholder or Director at a meeting will constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such stockholder or Director attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened.

ARTICLE VI

OFFICERS AND AGENTS

Section 6.1 In General
