Yesterday, US TOP Property Expert released a report that BEIJING properties have Very High Vacancy Rate. Probably, there has been a SHIFT of occupancy from old towns to NEW TOWNS. It is important to identify which are the NEW TOWNS.
One worry is that their ex-CFO, turned CEO, turned back to CFO, Mr Ben Cheng has resigned. Replacing him is somebody from the parent company, SRE which is listed in Hong Kong. Does that mean that the interests could be tilted towards the parent company now, instead of minority shareholders?
