A NEW TWIST IN LEGEND'S TALE

摘要

It looked like it was going to be a tough year for Legend Group Ltd., China's biggest maker of PCS and a mainstay of the country's growing high-tech economy. As the SARS panic swept through China this spring, consumers steered clear of the computer stores where Legend sells its wares. And major customers across the country, grappling with the impact of the disease, put corporate sales into a deep freeze. Investors, fearing the worst, fled from the Hong Kong-listed company's already battered shares, which lost almost a fifth of their value in April.
