PROXY STATEMENT

General

We are soliciting proxies on behalf of our board of directors for use at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held on September 5, 2008 at 10:00 a.m., Beijing time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The annual general meeting will be held at our offices located at 26/F, SP Tower D, Tsinghua Science Park Building 8, No. 1 Zhongguancun East Road, Haidian District, Beijing, People’s Republic of China 100084.

This proxy statement is available to shareholders beginning on August 1, 2008 and the form of proxy is first being mailed to shareholders on or about August 1, 2008.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or, if you hold ordinary shares, by attending the annual general meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the annual general meeting in and of itself does not revoke a prior proxy. A written notice of revocation must be delivered to the attention of Mr. Onward Choi, our Acting Chief Financial Officer, if you hold our ordinary shares, or to The Bank of New York Mellon if you hold American Depositary Shares, known as ADSs, representing our ordinary shares.

Record Date, Share Ownership and Quorum

Shareholders of record at the close of business on July 30, 2008 are entitled to vote at the annual general meeting. Our ordinary shares underlying ADSs are included for purposes of this determination. As of June 30, 2008, 3,076,308,109 of our ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share were outstanding, of which approximately 1,619,225,540 were represented by ADSs. The presence of at least two ordinary shareholders in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual general meeting; provided, however, that in no case shall such quorum represent less than 33 1/3% of our outstanding ordinary shares.

Voting and Solicitation

Each share outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote. Voting by holders of ordinary shares at the annual general meeting will be by a show of hands unless the chairman of the meeting or any shareholder present in person or by proxy demands that a poll be taken. Holders of ADSs cannot vote at such meeting.

The costs of soliciting proxies will be borne by our company. Proxies may be solicited by certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, in person or by telephone or electronic mail. The solicitation materials are available on our company’s website at http://corp.163.com under the heading “Investor Info.” Hard copies of the solicitation materials are available upon request to shareholders free of charge.

Voting by Holders of Ordinary Shares

When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned by holders of ordinary shares, the shares they represent will be voted at the annual general meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder. If no specific instructions are given by such holders, the shares will be voted “FOR” proposals 1 and 2 and in the proxy holder’s discretion as to other matters that may properly come before the annual general meeting. Abstentions by holders of ordinary shares are included in the determination of the number of shares present and voting but are not counted as votes for or against a proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted towards a quorum or for any purpose in determining whether the proposal is approved.

Voting by Holders of American Depositary Shares

The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary of the ADSs, has advised us that it intends to mail to all owners of ADSs the Notice of 2008 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and an ADS Voting Instruction Card. Upon the delivery of a signed and completed ADS Voting Instruction Card as instructed therein, The Bank of New York Mellon will endeavor, to the extent practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of ordinary shares represented by the ADSs, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts related to those ADSs, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The Bank of New York Mellon has advised us that it will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with those instructions. As the holder of record for all the shares represented by the ADSs, only The Bank of New York Mellon may vote those shares at the annual general meeting.

The Bank of New York Mellon and its agents are not responsible if they fail to carry out your voting instructions or for the manner in which they carry out your voting instructions. This means that if the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs are not able to be voted at the annual general meeting, there may be nothing you can do.

If (i) the enclosed ADS Voting Instruction Card is signed but is missing voting instructions, (ii) the enclosed ADS Voting Instruction Card is improperly completed or (iii) no ADS Voting Instruction Card is received by The Bank of New York from a holder of ADSs prior to 10 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on August 28, 2008, The Bank of New York Mellon will deem such holder of ADSs to have instructed it to give a proxy to the chairman of the annual general meeting to vote in favor of each proposal recommended by our board of directors and against each proposal opposed by our board of directors.

Deadline for Shareholder Proposals

Proposals which our shareholders wish to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card for the 2009 annual general meeting must be received by May 8, 2009 at 26/F, SP Tower D, Tsinghua Science Park Building 8, No. 1 Zhongguancun East Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100084, People’s Republic of China and must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Our audit committee recommends, and our board concurs, that PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited Company be appointed as our independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2008. Our board of directors first appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited Company as our independent auditors in July 2002.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and voting at the annual general meeting will be required to approve this proposal 2.

THE BOARD AND THE AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF

PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS ZHONG TIAN CPAS LIMITED COMPANY

AS OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2008.

COMPENSATION REPORT FROM THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The duties of the compensation committee include determining and approving the chief executive officer’s compensation level, reviewing and making recommendations to the board with respect to non-chief executive officer compensation, incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans, and administering our incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans as in effect and as adopted from time to time by our board. The power to award options under the NetEase.com, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan for non-executive officers has been delegated to NetEase’s Chief Executive Officer.

The fundamental policy of the board of directors is to provide NetEase’s chief executive officer and other executive officers with competitive compensation opportunities based upon their contribution to the financial success of the company and their personal performance. In determining the compensation of NetEase’s current Chief Executive Officer, the committee focuses particularly on the fact that he is the majority shareholder of NetEase, and accordingly, his overall remuneration from NetEase is necessarily more dependent on the performance of the company’s trading price on NASDAQ than on cash compensation. Accordingly, the compensation committee, with such officer’s concurrence, has determined that it was appropriate to provide the Chief Executive Officer with a nominal base salary and no bonuses or equity incentives in 2007.

For other executive officers, it is the board of directors’ objective to have a substantial portion of each officer’s compensation contingent upon the company’s performance as well as upon his or her own level of performance. Accordingly, the compensation package for such executive officers is comprised of three elements: (i) base salary which reflects individual performance and is designed primarily to be competitive with salary levels in the industry, (ii) annual variable performance awards payable in cash, and (iii) long-term stock-based incentive awards which strengthen the mutuality of interests between the executive officers and the company’s shareholders. In addition, monthly bonuses are given to the executive officer responsible for the company’s online game services based on monthly net profit generated from this business segment. As an executive officer’s level of responsibility increases, it is the intent of the board to have a greater portion of his or her total compensation be dependent upon company performance and stock price appreciation rather than base salary.

NetEase’s executive compensation is intended to be consistent with leading companies in the Internet and online games industries while being contingent upon achievement of near- and long-term corporate objectives. For the calendar year 2007, the principal measures the board of directors looked to in evaluating the company’s progress toward these objectives were growth in revenue, net profits and usage of the NetEase websites and the performance of the company’s stock price on NASDAQ.

Compensation for the company’s executive officers, other than the current Chief Executive Officer, is based on three components, each of which is intended to serve the overall compensation philosophy.

Base Salary. The base salary for each officer is determined on the basis of the following factors: experience, personal performance, the average salary levels in effect for comparable positions within and without the industry and internal comparability considerations. The weight given to each of these factors differs from individual to individual, as the board deems appropriate. In selecting comparable companies for the purposes of maintaining competitive compensation, the board of directors considers many factors including geographic location, growth rate, annual revenue and profitability, and market capitalization. The board of directors also considers companies outside the industry which may compete with NetEase in recruiting executive talent.

Annual and Monthly Incentive Compensation. Bonuses for executives are intended to be used as an incentive to encourage management to perform at a high level or to recognize a particular contribution by an employee. Generally, the higher the employee’s level of responsibility, the larger the portion of the individual’s compensation package that may be represented by a bonus. Annual bonuses are earned by each executive officer primarily on the basis of the company’s achievement of certain corporate financial performance goals established for each fiscal year or designated individual goals. Also, monthly bonuses are earned by the executive officer responsible for the company’s online game services based on monthly net profit generated from this business segment.

Long-Term Compensation. The board of directors believes that stock ownership by management is beneficial in aligning management and shareholder interests with respect to enhancing shareholder value. Stock options are also used to retain executives and motivate them to improve long-term stock market performance. Factors considered in making an award of stock options include the individual’s position in the company, his or her performance and responsibilities, and internal comparability considerations.

Each option grant under the company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan allows the employee to acquire ordinary shares at a fixed price per share over a specified period of time of not more than 10 years. The board of directors determines the vesting schedule of awards granted to executive officers under the plan.

The exercise price of incentive stock options must be at least equal to the fair market value of the company’s ordinary shares on the date of grant, and the term of the option must not exceed ten years. The purchase price of non-qualified stock options is typically at least 85% of the fair market value of the company’s ordinary shares on the date of grant. With respect to an employee who owns shares possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of outstanding capital, the exercise price of any incentive stock option must equal at least 110% of the fair market value of the company’s ordinary shares on the date of grant and the term of the option must not exceed five years. The exercise or purchase price of other awards will be such price as determined by the board of directors. Employees are responsible in all cases for any tax expense associated with the grant, holding or exercise of these stock options.

As a result of these provisions, the option will provide a return to the executive officer only if the executive officer remains employed by the company during the vesting period, and then only if the market price of the underlying shares appreciates over the option term. The board of directors does not adhere to any specific guidelines as to the relative option holdings of the company’s executive officers.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The compensation of the Chief Executive Officer is reviewed annually. Our current Chief Executive Officer, William Ding, who assumed this position in November 2005, received a base salary of US$4,113 per month in 2007.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Our audit committee oversees the financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. NetEase’s independent accountant is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of its audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. We appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited Company as our company’s independent accountant for 2007 after reviewing that firm’s performance and independence from management. We have recommended that PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited Company be reappointed as our company’s independent accountant for fiscal year 2008 at the shareholders annual general meeting scheduled in September 2008.

In fulfilling our oversight responsibilities, we reviewed with management the audited financial statements prior to their issuance and publication in the 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders. We reviewed with NetEase’s independent accountant its judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of NetEase’s accounting principles and discussed with its representatives other matters required to be discussed under generally accepted auditing standards, including matters required to be discussed in accordance with the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees) of the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We also discussed with the independent accountant its independence from management and NetEase and its affiliates, and received its written disclosures pursuant to Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1. We further considered whether the non-audit services described elsewhere in this proxy statement provided by the independent accountant are compatible with maintaining the accountant’s independence.

We also discussed with NetEase’s independent accountant the overall scope and plans for its audit. We met with the independent accountant, with and without management present, to discuss the results of its examination, its evaluation of NetEase’s internal controls, and the overall quality of financial reporting.

In reliance upon the reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Our audit committee has adopted procedures which set forth the manner in which the audit committee will review and approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian CPAs Limited Company before that firm is retained for such services. The pre-approval procedures are as follows:

•

Any audit or non-audit service to be provided to us by the independent accountant must be submitted to the audit committee for review and approval, with a description of the services to be performed and the fees to be charged.

•

The audit committee in its sole discretion then approves or disapproves the proposed services and documents such approval, if given, through the execution of an engagement letter for the services by a member of the audit committee.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The following procedures have been established by our board of directors in order to facilitate communications between our shareholders and our board of directors:

Shareholders may send correspondence, which should indicate that the sender is a shareholder, to our board of directors or to any individual director by mail to NetEase.com, Inc., 26/F, SP Tower D, Tsinghua Science Park Building 8, No. 1 Zhongguancun East Road, Haidian District, Beijing, People’s Republic of China 100084, Attention: Acting Chief Financial Officer.

Our Acting Chief Financial Officer will be responsible for the first review and logging of this correspondence and will forward the communication to the director or directors to whom it is addressed unless it is a type of correspondence which our board has identified as correspondence which may be retained in our files and not sent to directors.

Our board of directors has authorized the Acting Chief Financial Officer to retain and not send to directors communications that: (a) are advertising or promotional in nature (offering goods or services), (b) solely relate to complaints by clients with respect to ordinary course of business customer service and satisfaction issues, or (c) clearly are unrelated to our business, industry, management or board or committee matters. These types of communications will be logged and filed but not circulated to directors. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Acting Chief Financial Officer will not screen communications sent to directors.

The log of shareholder correspondence will be available to members of our board for inspection. At least once each year, the Acting Chief Financial Officer will provide to our board a summary of the communications received from shareholders, including the communications not sent to directors in accordance with screening procedures approved by our board.

ACCESS TO CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICIES

We adopted a Code of Business Conduct which is available on our company’s website http://corp.163.com under the heading “Investor Info.” To the extent required by law, any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Business Conduct will be promptly disclosed to the public.

Copies of our company’s committee charters and Code of Business Conduct will be provided to any shareholder upon written request to the Acting Chief Financial Officer of NetEase.com, Inc., 26/F, SP Tower D, Tsinghua Science Park Building 8, No. 1 Zhongguancun East Road, Haidian District, Beijing, People’s Republic of China 100084.

ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

Pursuant to NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rules which permit companies to make available their annual report to shareholders on or through the company’s website, we post our annual reports on our website. The annual report has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. NetEase adopted this practice to avoid the considerable expense associated with mailing physical copies of such report to record holders and beneficial owners of the company’s ADSs and ordinary shares. You may obtain a copy of our 2007 annual report to shareholders by visiting our website http://corp.163.com under the heading “Investor Info.” If you want to receive a paper or email copy of our 2007 annual report to shareholders, you must request one.
