Dear Dato’ Dr. Cheng Yu-tung and friends from all circles in Hong Kong
Dear Mr. Li Chunhong, secretary-general of the Guangdong provincial government and leaders from the provincial and municipal governments
Dear friends from the finance circle and the media, dear guests, ladies and gentlemen:
Greetings to all of you!
Today is an inspiring day, because Evergrande (3333) is officially listed at Hong Kong Exchange Union. That’s why we gather here to share the joy of successful listing!
Since its establishment in 1996, Evergrande has experienced the transnormal great-leap-forward development, and become a leading enterprise in the real estate industry in China and the leader in the standardized operation of elaborate-works property in China. We have been the top ten real estate enterprises in China for 6 consecutive years. We have 51,190,000 square meters of high-quality and low-cost land reserve, and have developed 54 projects in 24 major cities in China, with 80% of such projects in major capital cities. We are the real estate enterprise with the largest land reserve area and the largest coverage of capital cities in China.
The listing of Evergrande this time is highly recognized by global investors, which demonstrates our surpassing performance. Here, we would like to express our special thanks to those friends who having been caring about and supporting the growth of Evergrande, to those partners who have been accompanying and supporting the development of Evergrande; to those professional agencies, including Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, BOCI, Credit Suisse, Shengde, Banker & Mckenzie, Freshfields, King & Wood, PWC, CBRE, which provide assistance for the successful listing of Evergrande; to those strategic investors such as Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Temasek Foundation and Chow Tai Fook which have been always confident in Evergrande; to Dato Dr. Cheng Yu-tung, Mr. Joseph Lau, Mr. Li Ka-shing and other personages in Hong Kong who have been confident in Evergrande and made great investment in Evergrande, to 39 top investment institutions in the world such as GIC, Prudential, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Tiger Fund, Nomura Securities, Credit Suisse, Mirae Asset, Banque Nationale de Paris, Bank of China, Chinese Life Insurance; and to those countless enthusiastic individual investors. Your recognition and support have given us greater resolution and confidence.
Looking back over the development course of Evergrande in more than one decade, I am particularly gratified, not only because Evergrande has advantages in terms of strategy, management, scale and brand, but also because we have a professional and experienced team with the best fighting strength. During this period, the team works aggressively and energetically, succeeds in resisting the impact caused by the Asian financial storm, global financial crisis and fluctuation of the global real estate market, overcomes and conquers one difficulty after another and facilitates our business to become increasingly prosperous. We can say that every enterprising staff of Evergrande is the unmeasurable wealth of Evergrande, and is also the most reliable wealth guarantee of our investors.
Looking into the future, we will fight with high sprits and make great efforts to continue to achieve the goal of “top scale, top brand and top team”. With the consistent great support from friends from all circles, we have the determination, confidence and capability to build up an internationalized leading real estate enterprise and to bring profitable returns to shareholders.
Thank you!
