Recently, the two things that the real estate industry has paid the most attention to, the first is that Xu Jiayin stood up and spoke, ensuring that all the investments of Evergrande Wealth due are paid as soon as possible. The second thing is that Blackstone announced that it would stop acquiring SOHO China.
Blackstone decided to launch an acquisition of SOHO China a few months ago, when the price was all negotiated. In fact, the acquisition of Blackstone Group and SOHO China has a long history, and there have been rumors since 2019. Pan Shiyi's desire to sell SOHO China is also known to everyone.
Originally, Pan Shiyi was already more than 14 billion yuan into his pocket, but he did not expect that this acquisition was suddenly investigated, and now Blackstone Group has voluntarily given up. After Blackstone gave up, Pan Shiyi estimated that it would be difficult to find new buyers. Now the domestic real estate giants are in danger of everyone, under the premise of deleveraging, almost no family dares to take out so much money to take over SOHO China's assets.
Cao Dewang said that Pan Shiyi was a ghost spirit, and this time Pan Shiyi was calculated on his head. During the epidemic in Wuhan, Pan Shiyi and his wife did not donate money, and they also pointed out on the Internet, which triggered a scolding war among netizens. Pan Shiyi's son Pan mou stood up and scolded netizens, and also pushed the responsibility for not donating to a certain association.
In an interview with Venus, Venus asked Pan Shiyi why he donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the United States but not to China's mountain education. Pan Shiyi explained that donations to Yale and Harvard were for poor Chinese students. Venus retorted at that time, can there be poor people who can study abroad? Pan Shiyi was speechless. I don't know if there are any poor people who went to study abroad, but I only know that Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xinsheng's son is studying at Harvard.
Pan Shiyi's wife, Zhang Xin, returned to China more than 20 years ago to start a business, and their wealth was acquired in China. However, Zhang Xin still retains American citizenship. Zhang Xin is actually a native of Beijing, and later went to Hong Kong with her parents, and only went to study in the United Kingdom when she grew up, and later became an American citizen.
Pan Shiyi had a son with his ex-wife, and he had two sons with Zhang Xin. Before SOHO China went public, Pan Shiyi had transferred all his shares to Zhang Xin's name. For years, Pan Shiyi has been standing in front of the stage to speak on behalf of SOHO China, but it is his wife who actually holds shares of American nationality.
Soho China listing to the present, Pan Shiyi and his wife have accumulated about 10 billion dividends. A few years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Pan Shiyi bought a lot of real estate in the United States, which is estimated to involve billions of dollars. At that time, many people questioned whether Pan Shiyi wanted to leave? Pan Shiyi explained that investing is a personal act and has nothing to do with SOHO China.
Pan Shiyi also said that he could not go, SOHO China's buildings were built there one by one, and he could not take them with him. The building cannot be taken away, and Pan Shiyi can sell it and take the money away. Now that Blackstone Group has abandoned the acquisition, Pan Shiyi's wishful thinking has also become empty.
Recently, Ali and Tencent have announced that they will spend 100 billion yuan to support the cause of common prosperity. Lei Jun, Huang Zheng, Wang Xing and other rich people have also donated tens of billions of shares in the past two years for the development of their own charitable funds. More and more rich people are developing on the road of charity.
Mr. and Mrs. Pan Shiyi really should think about it. Cao Dewang once said why he wanted to donate most of his wealth, he said Chinese always thought that it was not kind to be rich in the past, so he just wanted to make a splash and let all the rich people learn from him. Cao Dewang said that when there is less money, the money is yours, and when the money is more, you are not yours.
Pan Shiyi's assets today are actually unable to eat for ten lifetimes. SOHO China is still a very high-quality asset. In 2020, SOHO China's revenue is about 2.1 billion, and its profit is more than 500 million, and it is still making money. Pan Shiyi can completely operate well, why must he sell it to cash out?
When Pan Shiyi was young, he was just a small employee in a unit, and later he resigned to develop in Guangzhou, from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, and later to Hainan. Many people should have heard the story of Pan Shiyi moving bricks. When he was in Shenzhen, Pan Shiyi worked in a brick factory, and later when he went to Hainan, he could not find a job for a while, and then went to work in a brick factory, and later he contracted a brick factory.
After that, Pan Shiyi cooperated with Feng Lun and others to invest in real estate in Hainan, which was a huge success, and later they cashed out before the hainan real estate bubble burst, returned to Beijing to develop real estate, and established Wantong Company. Later, Pan Shiyi flew alone and met Zhang Xin, and the two of them hit it off and set up a real estate company together, which was later SOHO China.
Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin were married by flash, and the two had known each other for less than 3 months at that time. This failed acquisition of Blackstone Group, I hope Pan Shiyi can get some inspiration, what is the value of a rich man? What would happen to this society if every rich person thought only of himself?
