SOHO China (410) announced that Pan Shiyi resigned as chairman of the board and other positions; Pan Zhangxin resigned as CEO. Both will focus on philanthropy following their resignations and confirmed there is no disagreement with the board. Vice President Xu Jin and Qian Ting were appointed as executive directors and co-CEOs; Huang Jingsheng was appointed as non-executive chairman of the board of directors. The news was seen as positive, and SOHO China’s stock price jumped 11% to close at 1.51 yuan.
In mid-2019, SOHO China negotiated a sale to US-owned Blackstone. During the period of Central Tea Friends, they bought speculatively. The result was bitter and then sweet. The stock price soared during the negotiation process. The mainland regulatory authorities obstructed the shelving, and the tea lovers walked slowly and turned into “boats”. So far, the overall loss has become. SOHO China’s share price plunged, and misfortunes do not come singly. First, the selling failed, and then the Chinese property stocks collapsed. If the selling was successful at that time, Pan Shiyi and his wife would not only be happy on the shore, but also bring small shareholders to harvest at a high price. People would like to comfort themselves that SOHO China’s decline is much more “moderate” than other mainland property stocks.
Changing shifts before the 20th National Congress is seen as a positive
In terms of business operation, SOHO China is different from other private enterprises that mainly build residential houses. The main business is commercial buildings, and Pan Shiyi and his wife have already “received oil”. The Dagu property pays dividends. A long way from the financial red line. SOHO China’s stock price is not running, not entirely due to real estate market factors. It is generally believed that the company’s troubles have something to do with Pan Shiyi’s words and deeds over the years. Therefore, during the negotiation of the sale of the company to the United States, there were voices in the society expressing concern. After the transaction failed, Pan Shiyi appeared abroad, and the Internet appeared once more “Don’t run The voice of Pan Shiyi”, or for this reason, when the two announced their departure, the market will regard it as good news.
If SOHO China failed to sell last time for reasons other than economics, does the departure of the two show that the company has started a new phase? In terms of time, the mainland has announced the timetable for the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in mid-October. From the time of the meeting, the outside world understands that it is earlier than expected, and it is interpreted that the internal political consensus has been successfully formed, so the meeting can be held earlier, and leaders even before the meeting. The company has planned to visit, and the company chose this time to reorganize the board of directors, which seems to have the meaning of turning a new page.
After the change of chairman and chief executive, whether SOHO China is back on the road, or still lingering in the shadow of the founder, will soon be revealed. From the perspective of minority shareholders, it would be good if the new management can carry forward, and it would be a good idea if the new management might maintain the past sales of properties to cash out and pay dividends to shareholders, and the most important thing is to reflect the value of assets.
Aerospace Science and Technology has a stir this year
