Host: Next is the question time for journalists.
Journalist: How is the sales performance of the National Day? Ha the target of 70 billion yuan been completed?
President Xia Haijun: The sales performance of October will be announced in November due to the regulations for listed companies. The sales performance is relatively good.
HK Daily News: In your opinion, the major development in the second- and third-tier cities has avoided the policy risk. Will the development in the next several yeas focus on the commercial real estate? Now many real estate companies in Hong Kong, including Tai Koo and Starwell, have moved to the Mainland commercial real estate. What is the plan of Evergrande?
President Xia Haijun: In the past several years, Evergrande, pre-listed or post-listed, has been focusing on the residential projects, and the growth of Evergrande has been changing with each passing day. Our sale volume was 30.3 billion yuan in 2009, and was 50.4 billion yuan in 2010. This year, there will be significant increase on the basis of 70 billion yuan. The Company has obtained stable income and cash balance. Along with the increasingly better sales performance and cash flow, under the circumstance of sufficient capital, the Company will consider the gradual increase in the investment in the commercial real estate field in the future this investment cannot be accomplished in an action, which should be a ten-year to twenty-year plan. The investment in the commercial real estate field should be gradually increased according to our abilities, so as to ensure the investment in the commercial property is gradually increased under the benign sales of commercial residential buildings.
