Since the second half of 2021, the development situation of the real estate industry has faced great changes and uncertainties. Some real estate enterprises are deeply involved in the debt crisis, which has aroused the concerns of all relevant parties and the capital market, and caused a certain degree of fluctuation in the secondary trading market and bond market. The stock prices of some real estate enterprises and property enterprises fluctuated violently and fell one after another.
In contrast, the pace of listing of property companies has slowed down significantly, the number of property companies submitting statements for the second time has increased rapidly, and the Prospectuses of many property companies to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange have expired.
Since August 2021, only four property companies including Jingcheng JIAYE, Deshang industrial investment service, Zhongliang service and Jinmao service have passed the hearing of the Hong Kong stock exchange.

Under the background of the continuous tension in the capital chain of real estate enterprises, the breaking of stock prices and the continuous decline of market value after the listing of property companies, and the termination of mergers and acquisitions of some property companies, Zhongliang holdings and Zhongliang service met their own white knight - country garden service.
Although the announcement did not disclose the amount of M & a received, the country garden service, which is still sold under the severe situation, will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the capital pressure of Zhongliang holdings and bring new development opportunities for itself and Zhongliang services in the rapid integration.
valuation callback listing temptation no longer
Since 2021, the share price of listed property companies has been significantly corrected, and the valuation and market value of many listed property companies have fluctuated downward, which has aroused the concern and thinking of the property industry about the necessity and rationality of property companies landing in the capital market.

Affected by the continuous development of the real estate industry and the inclusive stock price rise of the property industry for too long, many property companies are still unwilling to face the possibility of further differentiation of stock prices among property companies. As property companies gradually recognize and accept the reality, the temptation of listing will continue to decline, and property companies will become more and more rational.
ups and downs of differentiation between non resident state-owned enterprises and property enterprises
Since 2021, the state has regulated industries closely related to people's survival and development, such as childbirth, parenting and education.

Relying on the development pattern of China's real estate industry, the development pattern of the real estate industry is undoubtedly facing profound adjustment and reform at a time when the development situation of the real estate industry has changed. When the ability to maintain growth has become the first priority for the development of real estate enterprises, the sale of long-term and slow-growing property companies has become an important choice for many real estate enterprises to withdraw their funds.
At a time when the relationship between supply and demand is changing and cash is king, where will these property companies go? Who will become the White Knight of such property companies?
