Xu Jiayin and the Rise and Fall of Evergrande: From Grand Occasions to Trading Suspension

The first time the author met Xu Jiayin was at the press conference of RV Bao.

On December 30, 2020, RV Group was unveiled in Shenzhen, and Evergrande will cooperate with 152 intermediaries. There were at least a few hundred people at the scene that day, and the huge banquet hall was packed with people. When Xu Jiayin entered the venue surrounded by the crowd, there was thunderous applause throughout.

Xu Jiayin seems to like grand occasions and big projects very much. Just like Evergrande Dahai Flower Island and the Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium in the shape of a lotus that he personally participated in the design before, and the famous fifteen-character car-making manifesto “buy buy buy” “hehehe” “circle circle” “big big” “”Okay, okay.”

Later, in order to fight back against Evergrande’s PPT car-making doubts, Xu Jiayin also asked Evergrande Auto to hold a super-large offline event of “Thousands of Media Watch Hengchi” in April 2021.

At 9 a.m. on August 28, after more than 500 days, China Evergrande (HK03333, stock price 0.36 Hong Kong dollars, market value 4.754 billion Hong Kong dollars)resume trading

“I used to think that today was an opportunity, but the drop at the opening surprised me.” On August 28, Chen Hao (pseudonym), a former employee of Evergrande, told the “Daily Economic News” reporter that he held China Evergrande There are less than 6,000 shares in the stock, I thought this morningresume tradingjust sell them all,But the sharp drop made him worry that he would lose even the handling fee if he sold it.

Although Chen Hao does not hold many Evergrande shares, he bought them near the highest point. On March 26, 2019, China Evergrande released a new high in its 2018 performance, with a core net profit of 78.3 billion yuan, which was the industry’s “profit king”. At that time, many Evergrande employees were optimistic about the company and held stocks.

“Boss Xu usually does some work.”

Chen Hao still remembers that before and after the 2018 Evergrande performance conference, the stock price plummeted and then rose violently. He originally wanted to take a short-term trade, but he was too busy at that time and forgot. At that time, Evergrande’s stock price climbed to 26.46 Hong Kong dollars. For a period of time after that, Evergrande’s stock price has been falling all the way, and the last high point was in July 2020, at HK$26.77 per share.

It was also Chen Hao’s best chance at that time, but he still didn’t sell it. “At that time, I wanted to see if Evergrande could break the curse of 30 yuan, but I really couldn’t get it. Some time ago, I saw new capital injections in the auto sector, so I wondered if there would be a follow-up move. Boss Xu usually (8 May 28) will do some work.”

In the past, Xu Jiayin and his once powerful circle of friends pulled Evergrande back from the life and death line many times. The constant war investment and “good news” made the stock price of Evergrande department soar all the way, and also made some former Evergrande employees have The idea of ​​​​”turning against the wind”, but this time is different.

The liquidity problem of Evergrande Group has already appeared in 2021.

By the morning of March 22, 2022, the three Evergrande departments of China Evergrande, Evergrande Property Management and Evergrande Automobile announced that they would postpone the publication of the 2021 annual report, which would start a suspension of more than 500 days.

One of the major events that led to the suspension of Evergrande’s trading was the misappropriation of funds of 13.4 billion yuan (RMB, the same below) of Evergrande Property, which involved a lot. In the process of reviewing the 2021 financial report, Evergrande Property found that Evergrande Property had a deposit of about 13.4 billion yuan, and the pledge guarantee provided to the third party has been enforced by the relevant banks.

Nearly a year after the suspension of trading, the results of an independent investigation into the above-mentioned 13.4 billion yuan deposit pledge being enforced by relevant banks were announced.

The investigation revealed that Xia Haijun and Pan Darong, the then executive directors of China Evergrande, and Ke Peng, the then executive president of Evergrande and Evergrande Real Estate, participated in the arrangements for the above-mentioned pledge. Evergrande’s board of directors had previously resolved to ask them to resign.

Only appeared twice this year, both related to football

Since the suspension of trading for 17 months, Xu Jiayin’s only appearances are basically the special meetings and monthly working meetings of the Baojiao Building within the Evergrande Group. Just one month after the suspension, Xu Jiayin and his management team appeared in the Guangzhou Evergrande Center to create momentum for the first batch of Hengchi 5.

However, since 2023, platforms such as Evergrande Group’s official website and official Weibo have not published internal information about Xu Jiayin’s appearance. The last time Evergrande Group published news about Xu Jiayin was December 2, 2022, the purpose was to dispel the rumors about Xu Jiayin himself at that time.

The reporter found thatSince 2023, Xu Jiayin’s two appearances and speeches have been approved by Evergrande Football.

The most recent time was on July 4 this year. When Xu Jiayin presided over the Evergrande Football Club management meeting, he said that all club members should further carry forward the new Guangzhou team spirit of “full of wolves, collaborative efforts, tenacity, and elite training”. Select and boldly appoint outstanding young talents from Evergrande Football School, unswervingly follow the “one-stop” talent training road from Evergrande Football School to Guangzhou Team, and contribute to the development and revitalization of Chinese football.
