With China taking its reform and opening policy, the private economy has been developed rapidly now, especially going public. It is discovered that there are two ways of entering China´s stock market: one is direct listing, the other is in-direct listing. Private enterprise studies in this paper exclude state-owner economy. Since 1996 in China, the number of private listing corporations have been going increased year by year, and in-direct listing has become the main form of private enterprises´ access to stock market. In the paper, the author made a substantial evidence analysis on the 53 private corporations which have entered China´s stock market by the end of 1998. By means of the SHAZAM regression test analysis, the author draws a surprising conclusion: as far as private listing companies are concerned, state-ownership enterprise´s efficiency is more satisfied than private ones. This indicates that improving the management of private enterprise has already been on the agenda.
