With the profound adjustment of the industry, this process of slimming and keeping fit is just like losing weight, which is very painful and difficult, and its result must lead to a healthier and more quality development direction.
Xu Qian, reporter of China Housing News, reports from Beijing.
Vanke in the "crisis" has attracted attention every move.
On May 13th, Tianyancha information showed that the enterprise status of Shenzhen Wanke Yundi Industrial Co., Ltd. had changed from surviving to cancellation. The two major shareholders of the company are Shenzhen Tengshi Automobile Co., Ltd. and Hengqin Wanke Yundi Business Consulting Partnership, holding 72% and 28% respectively. The former is a subsidiary of BYD, while the latter belongs to Vanke.
According to the data, Shenzhen Wanke Yundi Industrial Co., Ltd. was established on May 26, 2017, and its legal representative is Zhang Yan, with a registered capital of 100 million yuan. Its business scope includes technology development, technology transfer, technical consultation and technical services in the information technology field.
According to relevant reports, Shenzhen Wanke Yundi Industry was originally established for the purpose of cooperation between Vanke and BYD, but the joint venture company was cancelled according to the agreement because the final project could not be obtained. In 2023, the relevant cancellation process was taken, Vanke was responsible for liquidation, and BYD was responsible for handling the formalities.
In other words, at the beginning of the company’s establishment, it represented a "joint effort" between Vanke and BYD, but for various reasons, the two sides failed to follow the set goals and had to "disband". The reporter called Vanke about the cancellation of the company, but as of press time, he did not receive a reply.
Time goes back to 8 years ago. In December 2016, Vanke and BYD signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Based on the cooperation mode of resource sharing, the two parties will jointly explore and develop the "track+property" business. One belongs to the automobile industry, and the other belongs to the real estate industry. It seems that there is no intersection between the two companies, which caused quite a stir at that time.
At the signing ceremony, Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD’s board of directors, said that the "cloud track" scheme launched by BYD is dedicated to solving the congestion problem in third-and fourth-tier cities. This kind of rail transit walks over the urban green belt and does not occupy the urban road area. BYD’s green vision is highly coincident with Vanke’s, and the two sides are committed to the long-term strategic cooperation of "track+property".
Vanke said that "track+property" is a very optimistic model for Vanke to solve the problem of ordinary people living, living and working in the future. The signing of this contract combines Vanke’s property development with BYD’s "cloud track" and provides a solution for urban development.
Two months before the cooperation between the two parties, on October 13, 2016, BYD’s "Cloud Track", which took five years to develop, was launched in the world and officially opened to traffic at BYD Pingshan Headquarters in Shenzhen. Wang Chuanfu announced that he has reached cooperation intentions with more than 20 cities. "The rail transit market can’ recreate a BYD’."
The background of this cooperation is that Vanke was busy developing multilateral emerging business and transforming into a supporting service provider in the city. Joining hands with BYD is another emerging business of Vanke after entering many urban supporting services such as apartment leasing, centralized commerce, community commerce, industrial office, logistics, pension and education.
Vanke put forward this idea when it planned to introduce Shenzhen Metro. In June, 2016, Shenzhen Metro and Vanke jointly announced that they planned to innovate cooperation mode in the fourth phase of subway network construction and land development along the line, and participate in the construction of Shenzhen rail transit and superstructure property projects in the mode of "track+property" in accordance with market rules.
Wang Shi, who was then the chairman of Vanke’s board of directors, predicted that the urban population of China will increase by 170 million in the next 10 years, but the main place to accommodate new urban immigrants will be satellite towns, which is located in the developed urban belt. Vanke will seize the opportunity to provide supporting services for the city around the subway, which will be one of the most important development directions of Vanke in the future.
However, this emerging industry, which was valued by Vanke and BYD at the same time and had high hopes, failed to be successfully carried out in more cities and projects. In 2017, the state tightened its policy on urban construction tracks, and only three cities were approved throughout the year; At the end of 2017, BYD Hengyang’s cloud track project was stopped by the National Development and Reform Commission less than a month after it started, and cloud track projects in other cities were forced to suspend.
Two years later, Vanke and BYD cooperated again. On October 8, 2019, Vanke announced that it would jointly invest 1.101 billion yuan with BYD and other companies in a fund focusing on science and technology, logistics and other fields. The scale of fund raising was 1.101 billion yuan, of which Vanke (Chengdu) subscribed for 500 million yuan and BYD auto industry subscribed for 600 million yuan.
Vanke said that the company’s subsidiaries participate in investment funds with their own funds, which is based on the company’s established development strategy. This investment will help accelerate the strategic positioning of the company as a "service provider for urban and rural construction and life".
The background of this cooperation is that in March 2018, Vanke announced in its financial report that it would upgrade its strategic positioning from the previous "urban supporting service provider" to "urban and rural construction and living service provider". Also in 2018, at the autumn regular meeting, Vanke shouted the slogan of "live".
The change of enterprise strategy is also based on the adjustment of the market environment and the company’s operating conditions. Now Vanke is implementing the "slimming" plan-"focusing on the main business", freeing up limited resources, doing well in three main businesses: comprehensive residential development, property services and renting apartments; Resolutely and vigorously promote large-scale asset transactions such as commercial offices, and plan to complete 20 billion yuan each year.
Vanke’s first-quarter financial report shows that in the first quarter, Vanke realized 4.2 billion yuan in bulk asset transactions, of which Shanghai Qibao Vanke Plaza realized 50% equity transactions with a transaction amount of 2.384 billion yuan.
On May 8th, Shenzhen Public Resources Trading Center launched a land transfer information, and publicly transferred the land use right at T208-0053, Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base, with a starting price of 2.235 billion yuan. The owner of this plot is Vanke.
"With the profound adjustment of the industry, this process of slimming and keeping fit is just like losing weight. It is very painful and not easy. Its result must lead to a healthier and more quality development direction, so I believe that the pressure we encounter today is phased. With the support of all sectors of society, including major shareholders, and through our own efforts, I believe that we can achieve initial results in the next two years. " Yu Liang, Chairman of Vanke’s Board of Directors, said at the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on April 30th.
On May 13th, Vanke issued an announcement on the guarantee provided by its holding subsidiary for its application for loans from banks. Among them, Vanke applied for a loan with a principal of 690 million yuan from China Bank Shenzhen Branch for a term of three years. Wuhan Qiuzihu Company, a subsidiary of Vanke Holdings, provided corresponding pledge guarantee for the aforesaid loan with its 100% equity in Changsha Wancheng. Vanke applied to Shenzhen Branch of Agricultural Bank of China for three loans with a total principal of 2.2 billion yuan. Vanke’s three holding subsidiaries provide pledge guarantee for Vanke’s three loans with 100% equity of other project companies.
On May 13th, Vanke’s share price fell by 1.85% to close at 7.42 yuan. On the same day, the prices of several US dollar bonds issued by Vanke rose: among them, the price of bonds due in November 2027 with an interest rate of 3.975% rose by 5.1 cents per US dollar; The price of bonds due in November 2029 with an interest rate of 3.5% rose by 3.7 cents per dollar; The price of bonds due in May 2025 with an interest rate of 3.15% rose by 3.3 cents for every dollar.
