Wing magazine said it was their own doing research. Not only does not rag glad I was a bit disgusted to say that he will not admit that this title did not feel that their glory.

This is a scenario: a rich attitude.

CITIC Pacific to enter the retail

CITIC Pacific is a Hong Kong stocks heterogeneous, dependent on acquisitions and investments are growing rapidly, the market value jumped more than 10 billion today, has 51.2 billion, and its capital story Weiren relish. And its direction of investment is also very unusual dispersion characteristics, power, roads, aviation, steel, retail, real estate ... ...

A securities analyst criticism that business investment in areas of CITIC Pacific is too casual. Larry Yung Chi Kin Fan Ji said that analysts have their own views, is their business, the company is only diversify the investment rather than invest too casual, the company is self-employed, the analyst's remarks will not change investment strategy, or else is the analyst taught him how to invest.

Evidenced by its strong and hard.

Acceptance of Thomson Financial survey of the Hong Kong investment bank, 12 analysts in March 15 is expected to report earnings before the fiscal year 2004 net profit of CITIC Pacific may increase a more than doubled, reaching 2.85 billion Hong Kong dollars, while the 2003 fiscal year was 13.1 billion HK dollars. Analysts believe that CITIC Pacific, Cathay Pacific, owned 26% of its profit growth is to promote the main driving force, a week ago, Cathay Pacific Airways announced that fiscal 2004 profits increased two-fold, to 44.2 billion. March 14 CITIC Pacific affected by this positive impact, closing up 1.3%, to 23.20 Hong Kong dollars.

March 14, CITIC Pacific announced a price for 27.92 million yuan to the U.S. parent company, CITIC Group's acquisition of Wal-Mart East China Stores Co., Ltd. 35% stake, which is a new investment, Wal-Mart East China Stores Co., Ltd. At present, only one in Nanjing between the shop, by the end of 2004 annual loss of 10 million yuan, net assets of 66 million yuan, the acquisition value, which is a bit far-fetched. This was established in October 2003 Wal-Mart East China Stores joint venture with registered capital of 9.7 million U.S. dollars, with a total investment of about 23 million U.S. dollars, not yet profitable.

But the response to December 11, 2004 open to foreign investment in China retail industry, the potential significance of the acquisition should not be underestimated, Wal-Mart East China joint venture then converted into a pure foreign-funded projects, and cooperation for a period of October 2003 since the date of 30 years. CITIC Pacific is very clear: a large-scale shop soon in East China.

CITIC Pacific has used acquisitions to enter the retail trade, a joint business expansion in China the world's largest developed economy of the East China market, so that the outside world imagination. The feedback on the acquisition of the capital market very soon, CITIC Pacific was up 1.3% in the first, to 23.20 Hong Kong dollars, after the acquisition announcement shares fell 1.7% to 22.8 Hong Kong dollars.

But he also said it no longer increase its stake.

2004 pocketed profits of 3.5 billion

At 2:00 p.m. on March 15, CITIC Pacific announced 2004 annual results, such a choice is also quite characteristic, a company would choose be announced around 4 pm, the stock market closed quickly, avoid the big hype in the capital markets, without fear of speculation only one category: He has a full grasp surprise everyone.

CITIC Pacific announced that: As at the end of December 2004 the annual net profit of 3.58 billion Hong Kong dollars, up 175%, far more than analysts had expected an annual net profit was 28.5 billion HK dollars. This makes the site a surprise. The 2003 hit by the SARS outbreak, the company net profit of 1.301 billion Hong Kong dollars only.

More specifically the company's annual turnover of 22.912 billion yuan, but back in 2003 compared with 13%, mainly due to sale of Shanghai bridge and tunnel project in 2003, revenue decreased significantly. However, an increase of 175% of profits and earnings per share 1.63 yuan, year-end dividend of 0.8 yuan, annual dividend of 1.1 yuan, more than in 2003 into one, this is a miracle.

Need to focus on the company's use of financial management techniques to benefit from changes to a new accounting system, so that CITIC Pacific to save 220 million yuan of goodwill amortization expenses, in turn, look at this is not a small sum benefits.

Larry Yung Chi alive performance statement said: "Compared to 2003, the Group has a better performance in most operations, especially in aviation, special steel production and power generation three most prominent businesses." Clearly, this is subject to the tourism industry recovery and China's strong demand for steel and energy driven.

And Japan's Sumitomo Metals Kokura co-production of high-level special steel will replace the imported goods for the automotive parts and components, is also the rapid growth of this market. While in October 2004, CITIC Pacific through the acquisition of Hubei Xin Ye Steel Corporation 95% interest, acquired A-share listed company 58% interest in Daye Special Steel Company, this steel output reached 1.73 million tons. The latest news is that companies are under negotiation, a specialty steel plant located in northern China, involving funding of about 10 million, if successful, CITIC Pacific will maintain a leading position in specialty steel industry.

CITIC Pacific's real estate investment preference for their home in Shanghai, CITIC Square, Huashan apartment rental income optimistic about the development of Ningbo CITIC Square, Shanghai Qingpu, old Simon housing project will generate incremental revenue. In Hong Kong, CITIC Pacific on the Tung Chau Street, Kowloon, 320,000 square? Residential and commercial projects and Tuen Mun, Hung Shui Kiu 53700 square? Agricultural land for residential, two to Pida becomes one billion yuan of premium agreement, at the same time has started reconstruction of the Kowloon City Jialing Building of the feasibility study.

The unit of Dah Chong Hong and Sims Trading, as a veteran trader, sales and distribution of automobiles, cosmetics, etc., revenue to 121 billion, but profits of only 284 million yuan, 7.58 percent increase over 2003.

Old-school investors from non-conservative non-fashion

Us a detailed look at these investments is only one sense of the data: CITIC Pacific is a very diversified investment company, it does not have its own products, but also not have their own brand, but it is involved in industries and enterprises have full uniqueness. The development of rapid economic growth period of return on such investments is very considerable. Now popular telecommunications, biotechnology, Internet technology and other popular sectors, CITIC Pacific is almost not involved in, nor attempts to change. Larry Yung Chi Kin looked very old-fashioned, overly prudent, innovation out of discussion.

But this is not a conservative image, we can look back the history of the growth of CITIC Pacific, you can clearly see that Larry Yung Chi Kin's Interests - continued investment, acquisitions, reliance on a strong financial capacity to complete the massive project, and then re-, sub - demolition, sale, access to investment income. Its continuing to drive profitable growth, high dividend policy to attract investors, to maintain a stable share price of 20 yuan to respond to the needs of placement of shares acquired financing needs. This is an extremely powerful ability of capital for use in a red-chip company who, a little special, the future of the Shanghai Industrial, Beijing Holdings and other red-chip company for a copy, but always ups and downs of the energy and the lack of funds Hui denounced the ability to control them.

We have also seen from 1990 to 2000, Citic Pacific raised eight times, raising amounted to 26.208 billion yuan, nearly 51.2 billion market value of more than half. Its was quite sharp, but also very self-confident, fierce action, not up to not give up.

These historical and 2004, the calm, does not seem out of step, we have seen a quiet company of books: Investing in infrastructure projects is 3.5 billion in annual revenues. And the involvement of electricity, aviation, infrastructure, information, special steel, property, sales and distribution, without a loss, all of them and profit.

Today, the CITIC Pacific to worry about two things: integration of equity participation of the Cathay Pacific Airways and Dragonair, sources said: The two companies are quietly brewing merger, in order to create an aviation network has a full range of domestic and foreign airlines to counter the increasingly fierce market competition. Sword in hand behind the scenes is perhaps the Larry Yung Chi Kin. "All long period of division," is already dead rivers and lakes on the two rival aerospace comments.

The second thing is to intervene in the Mainland of China CITIC Pacific retail industry, will launch a major investment, and probably, new large-scale mergers and acquisitions to come. So you can see Larry Yung Chi Kin investment criteria: industry must be unique, or co-shareholder must be sufficient strength and expertise.

Looking back, today's hot real estate speculation, the concept of casinos in Macau, Mainland travel and other opportunities, CITIC Pacific seldom involved, Larry Yung Chi Kin's style may be decided on the fun of this enterprise, he tables on Mainland China, a unique industry and unique opportunities, he worked hard for outsiders to understand: to see me how much money is not important, we must look at what I have to make investments in the future the number of opportunities that really counts.
