Capital Venture Group is a large state-owned group of companies belonging to Beijing Municipality mainly engaged in public utilities and infrastructure construction. The company's three core businesses are infrastructure, real estate, and investment banking and M&A business. It has a leading market position and high brand awareness in the national water and real estate sectors. The Group's First Capital is the largest water enterprise in China, and the Group's First Capital Land, which has been awarded as one of the top ten brands in China's real estate industry for many times, is a well-known real estate developer of medium- to high-grade properties and low-density residences in China. In addition, Capital Group has participated in investing in the infrastructure construction of Beijing Subway Line 4, Subway Line 5 and urban rail transit. According to rough statistics, over the past 13 years since its establishment, Capital Group has invested more than RMB 50 billion in infrastructure and economic and social development in Beijing and Tianjin. By the end of 2007, the total assets of Capital Group had reached 75 billion yuan, with net assets of 15.7 billion yuan. After years of industrial accumulation and improvement of professional operation and management, the core business of CCTC Group has shown a good momentum of development. In 2007, CCTC Group achieved sales revenue of RMB 11.07 billion, total profit of RMB 2.71 billion, and after-tax profit of RMB 1.82 billion, with its comprehensive strength ranking the forefront of enterprises belonging to Beijing Municipal Government, and it has been ranked among the nation's top 500 enterprises for consecutive years. Water industry is one of the core industries of Capital Group. Its development and growth reflects the hard work of the core industry of Capital Group from scratch.
In 1995, when CCTC was founded, it was very difficult to operate, and it could be said that CCTC had no working capital, no profitable products, and no core industries. However, in the face of difficulties and challenges, Capital Group grasped the historical opportunity of the market-oriented reform of urban infrastructure and public utilities, and made full use of the important investment and financing platform of Capital Group, and began to advance into the water industry. After eight years of unremitting efforts, CCTC has always insisted on the development of water industry as the core, and has bravely innovated and explored the new mode of water development, based on Beijing and facing the whole country. Starting from the investment layout, through investment and mergers and acquisitions and other ways, it has explored the market and made a large scale, accelerated the establishment of the company's actual control and market share in the domestic water market, and established wholly-owned and joint-venture water plants in more than 20 cities in China, such as Anhui, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, etc., with a total investment of more than 7 billion yuan in the water projects in which it holds a controlling stake and participates in, and its participating and controlling companies have a water treatment capacity of 8.8 million tons/day, serving a total population of over 1.5 million people. With a total investment of more than RMB 7 billion yuan in water projects and a water treatment capacity of 8.8 million tons/day, the holding and participating enterprises have a total service population of more than 18 million, initially realizing a nationwide investment layout and regional and river basin management. At the same time, First Capital has made efforts to realize the transformation from a water investment company to a management and operation company, strengthened the operation and management capability, extended the value chain of the company's water industry, further integrated the operation and management system, improved the management efficiency, and strengthened the strength of the company on the basis of expanding production capacity, realizing the rapid growth of business income and profit. The company's operating income increased rapidly from RMB160 million in 2000 when it was listed to RMB1.41 billion in 2007; total profit amounted to RMB676 million, a year-on-year increase of 24.7%; and net profit amounted to RMB619 million, a year-on-year increase of 16.1%. On this basis, First Capital also cooperated with Hunan Provincial Government to carry out all-round and in-depth cooperation in the fields of watershed management, construction of sewage treatment facilities and environmental protection, and invested in 103 sewage treatment projects in Hunan Province's Xiangjiang River Basin as a whole package. This marks a major innovation in the strategic investment model of Capital Capital, and opens up a broader space for the rapid expansion of the market scale of Capital's water industry. With its water treatment scale and market share ranking first in China, it has been selected as one of the "Top Ten Influential Enterprises in China's Water Industry" by professional media for five consecutive years, and has become a nationally recognized leading enterprise and industry leader in the water industry.
Capital One Group has also actively participated in the construction of projects related to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, making significant contributions to the "New Beijing, New Olympic Games". By cooperating with the Drainage Group, Capital Water Company, a subsidiary of Capital Group, has actively invested and expanded its production capacity, rapidly increasing its sewage treatment capacity from 1.2 million tons/day to 2.1 million tons/day, accounting for more than 80% of Beijing's sewage treatment market. In addition, the company also signed the Beijing Dongba Sewage Treatment Plant Olympic supporting projects to meet the requirements of hosting the Olympic Games, Beijing's sewage treatment rate increased to more than 90%, to achieve their own development, but also through increased investment and marketing planning to create the company's brand image in the market of the Olympic water blue chip stock. Infrastructure industry is the key investment area of the Group, which mainly includes the investment, development, operation and management of rail transportation as well as urban green belt, highway facilities and other operational infrastructure projects. The Group has invested more than RMB6 billion in infrastructure projects such as Jingshi, Jingjin Expressway, Jingtong Expressway, Metro Line 4, Metro Line 5, Light Rail Line 13, Green Belt, and Shouzhi Company. Among them, Beijing-Tianjin Expressway (Tianjin section) and Metro Line 4 have become the most core part of the infrastructure segment of Capital Group.
The investment and construction of Beijing-Tianjin Expressway (Tianjin Section) is an important step for CCTC Group to focus on the overall situation of its corporate development strategy and develop infrastructure investment and construction.
In 2004, Capital Group, together with Tianjin Expressway Investment and Development Company and other four enterprises***, jointly invested in Tianjin Jingjin Expressway Co., Ltd. to invest in the construction of the Tianjin section of the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway and to undertake the toll collection, operation and management of the said section after its completion and opening to traffic. Beijing-Tianjin Expressway was officially opened to traffic on July 16, the first group has 60% of the equity of the expressway, the total investment scale of the project is more than ten billion yuan, is the Tianjin City and even North China's design standards and construction quality is the highest, the capacity of the largest number of operating one of the few highway. According to preliminary prediction, the average daily traffic on the main road of Beijing-Tianjin Expressway will reach more than 50,000 vehicles, and the peak will reach more than 120,000 vehicles, the economic and social benefits are very obvious. Its completion and opening to traffic greatly alleviate the Beijing-Tianjin traffic tension, marking the Beijing-Tianjin and even North China economic ties to add a closer tie, the formation of a convenient and developed transportation network, the intercity distance is greatly reduced, logistics and passenger flow will be more rapid, the cost of functional cooperation between various economic regions will be more prominent advantages, to drive the economic development along the route, strengthen the economic ties between the two places and promote the development and construction of Tianjin Binhai New Area. Tianjin Binhai New Area development and construction will have a positive impact.
As one of the key transportation roads for the Beijing Olympics, the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway played an important role in traffic security during the just-concluded Beijing Olympics, and the Olympic special broadcasting vehicles of dozens of major European TV stations were transported to the Beijing Olympics stadium from the port of Tianjin precisely through the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway. During the Olympic Games, there were dozens of special cars for the Olympic organizing committee, special cars for athletes and various service vehicles passing through the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway to and from the Beijing and Tianjin venues every day, and the safety, speed and convenience of the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway and its high-quality services left a deep impression on the officials of the Olympic organizing committee and athletes of various countries.
Another investment direction of Capital Group in the infrastructure field is the investment, construction and operation management of rail transportation. Among them, Beijing Subway Line 4 is the first subway project developed and operated under the PPP model in China, invested and constructed by Capital Group in conjunction with Hong Kong MTR Corporation Limited. Under this model, Beijing Infrastructure Investment Co., Ltd. as the government investor, is mainly responsible for the investment and construction of the civil construction part of the cavern body and track of the Metro Line 4 (referred to as "Part A"), with a total investment of about RMB 10.7 billion in Part A. On this basis, Beijing Capital Group and Hong Kong MTR Corporation ********************************** are responsible for the investment, construction and operation management of the Metro Line 4 project. On this basis, Beijing Jinggang MTR Corporation Limited (BJMTRCL), which was formed by Shouchuang Group and MTR Corporation***, is responsible for the investment and construction of the Beijing Metro Line 4 project except for the investment and construction of the Part A, which mainly includes the vehicle, signaling, control system and other equipment parts (referred to as the "Part B"), with a total investment of about RMB 4.6 billion for the Part B. Upon the completion of the project, the BJMTRCL will be responsible for the investment and construction of the Beijing Metro Line 4 project as the "Part A". Upon completion of the project, Beijing MTR Corporation Limited ("BMTR"), as the "concessionaire", will be granted the right to operate Beijing Metro Line 4. Upon completion of the project, Beijing MTR Corporation Limited, as the "concessionaire", will be granted the right to operate Beijing Metro Line 4, which is 49% owned by the MTR Corporation Limited and 49% by Shou Chuang, with Beijing Infrastructure Investment Company Limited holding 2%. The project starts from Majiapu West Road north of the South Fourth Ring Road in the south and ends at Longbicun Station in the north, with a total length of about 28.65 kilometers and 24 stations. The estimated investment of the project is about 15.385 billion RMB. Line 4 project started in December 2003, plans to September 28, 2009, the entire line opened for trial operation.
The PPP mode of the Beijing Metro Line 4 project is an important innovation in the field of infrastructure investment and financing in Beijing, and it is the first subway project in China that utilizes foreign capital and introduces the operation of social capital, which has become another important innovation in the domestic public utility reform. Urban real estate is another core industry carefully built by Capital Group, which constitutes an important support for the Group's operating income and total profit. In the course of thirteen years of rapid development, Capital Land, a subsidiary of Capital Group, has pioneered China's real estate industry. As the first real estate company in China to buy a shell and list on the stock exchange, the first mainland real estate company to list in Hong Kong against the market trend during the period of SARS, and the first real estate company to introduce overseas strategic investment shareholders, Capital Land has been the first real estate company to buy a shell and list on the stock exchange in China, and the first real estate company to introduce overseas strategic investment shareholders in China. Whether it is the early cooperation with Cheung Kong Group on the Kangju project and the acquisition of Guangxi Huwei, or the successful listing in Hong Kong and the introduction of international strategic investment shareholder GIC in the middle stage, and the keen expansion of its territory to ten central cities in the three core economic circles of China in the third stage, all of them show the innovation, internationalization and strategic decision-making power of Capital Land. With total assets of more than 19.8 billion RMB, home sales area of 798,000 square meters and annual sales of more than 9 billion RMB, Capital Land is a leading real estate company in China.
As the flagship real estate company of the Capital Group, Capital Land strives to seek breakthroughs in all aspects. In terms of management, CCTC has always emphasized the management idea of standardization, transparency and openness, and under the guidance of this idea, it has established a strategic positioning that distinguishes it from other large-scale real estate enterprises, i.e., China's most valuable integrated real estate operator. In terms of capital, Capital Land has unique competitive advantages, which are centered on capital backing, capital platform, capital network and capital means. In terms of internationalization, Capital Land has long regarded internationalization as the core strategic direction of the enterprise, and has thus formed the distinctive brand characteristics of Capital Land. In terms of regional layout, with keen strategic judgment and decision-making power, Capital Land went out of Beijing during the critical period of China's real estate boom cycle and launched national expansion. It formulated a clear 3 (X+Y) expansion strategy, taking the Yangtze River Delta, Bohai Rim, and Central Southwest China, the three economic circles with the highest potential in China, as the core expansion areas, and purchased high-quality land reserves in 10 central cities within a relatively short period of time, amounting to 10 million square meters. 10 million square meters. In terms of product strategy, Capital Land has formed a unique composite brand strategy to create three major product lines, i.e., internationalized high-end communities, diversified composite communities, and low-density humanistic communities, which have been replicated on a large-scale and standardized basis across the country. In terms of customer service system, Capital Land has a complete customer service system, management modules and branch organizations, realizing the internationalization and standardization of customer service management both horizontally and vertically. In terms of social welfare, Capital Land takes public **** interest and social responsibility as an important mission for its long-term foundation, and has been widely praised by the government, society and the public for its steady development while promoting diversified social responsibilities.
Capital Land has been actively participating in the investment and construction of Beijing, and has been fully dedicating its wisdom and strength to contribute to the prosperity of the city. As most of its land reserves are located in prime areas of Beijing, Capital Land has made significant contributions to the construction of areas including the CBD, Zhongguancun, the Asian Olympics, and the Financial Street over the years, and has not only substantially improved the living environment of these areas with its high-quality products and services, but also promoted the development of the regional economy, and has also played an irreplaceable role in promoting the process of Beijing's internationalization. Moreover, Capital Land has carefully adjusted its product structure, planned a diversified and balanced property portfolio, followed the product model of "Residential + Commercial + Office + Hotel = Risk Resistance + Sustainable Development", and adhered to the development principle of "Sustainable Growth" to contribute to the stability and prosperity of Beijing's real estate market. It has made outstanding contributions to the stability, prosperity and sustainable development of Beijing's real estate market. In terms of social responsibility, Capital Land has also been supporting the harmonious development of Beijing, for example, in order to protect the environmental progress of Beijing, it has initiated the creation of the Alashan Environmental Protection Foundation, and has incorporated the concept of ecological prosperity into the real estate development process, integrating it into every detail of architecture, design, planning, engineering, greening and so on, consciously assuming the ecological responsibility of a large enterprise. In order to fully support the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Capital Land sponsored the Beijing Women's Table Tennis Team, helping the Beijing Olympic Games in all aspects. Not only that, Capital Land has endeavored to promote the Olympic spirit and promote the Olympic public welfare with its top-notch hotel services, internationalized architectural trends, and leading service concepts.
In order to meet the increasingly fierce competition in the market, Capital Land has continuously deepened the industry development concept of integrated real estate operation, and meticulously planned and launched the corporate planning objective of "Lean Operation - New International Way of Survival", which is a more comprehensive and in-depth implementation of the development concept. With more comprehensive and in-depth practice and innovation of the development concept, it continues to strengthen the mainstream position of internationalized development in the industry, and launches the expansion initiative of "Capital International City" in five cities with a brand-new strategic operation mode, advancing towards the strategic goal of China's most valuable integrated real estate operator. Capital Group's involvement in the financial industry is an important choice for adhering to the development strategy of "industry-based and investment banking-oriented". At the beginning of its establishment, Capital Group was extremely short of capital. At the same time, the Group, as a state-owned asset-authorized enterprise, needed to undertake the function of government investment, so how to raise funds on a large scale became an important direction for the development of CCTC Group, and the traditional bank loan was only one of the financing methods, which could not be used as the capital of the project, and it was necessary to walk out of the new road of a financing mode. To this end, the Group put forward the corporate strategy of "taking investment banking business as the forerunner and industry as the foundation, with two wheels promoting each other and developing together" after careful consideration and thorough discussion, and accelerated the pace of developing the financial industry and investment banking business of Capital Group.
First of all, after the successful acquisition of Guangdong Foshan Securities Company in 1998 and its restructuring into First Venture Securities Company, First Venture Group has become one of the most innovative securities companies in China after nearly 10 years of hard work. Subsequently, the First Venture Group formed First Venture Securities Co.
In 2002, CCTC entered the life insurance industry by forming a joint venture insurance company with ING International, the world's largest financial group, and achieved the sixth place in the ranking of joint venture insurance companies in 2008 (24 Chinese-foreign joint venture insurance companies in China***), and began to enter the first square of joint venture insurance companies. At the same time, Capital Group successfully acquired listed companies such as Guangxi Huwei, Ningbo Zhongbai (Gongda Capital) and Vanguard in 1996.
Capital One was successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2001, raising 2.67 billion dollars, and then in 2003, Capital Land became a member of Hong Kong H-share companies. It raised 1.14 billion dollars. The above series of large-scale operations in the financial field have enabled Capital Group to lay the foundation of the financial industry from scratch. By the end of 2007, the disposable financial assets of the enterprises under CCTC Group exceeded RMB 10 billion, and the total profit of the financial sector in 2007 amounted to RMB 1.4 billion. Among them, the operating income of First Capital Securities under CCTC Group was RMB 890 million, an increase of 229.7% year-on-year; the total profit was RMB 650 million, an increase of 223% year-on-year; and the net profit was RMB 420 million, an increase of 188% year-on-year. First Venture Securities, a subsidiary of Capital Group, realized operating income of RMB 1.33 billion, up 196% year-on-year; realized total profit of RMB 810 million, up 419% year-on-year; and realized net profit of RMB 660 million, up 516% year-on-year. Meanwhile, First Venture also completed 143.8 billion yuan of spot bond trading volume in the inter-bank bond market, ranking among the top four national brokerage firms for three consecutive years. In addition, First Guarantee Company, a subsidiary of First Venture Group, realized operating income of RMB 85.76 million in 2007, an increase of 29% year-on-year; realized total profit of RMB 66.4 million, an increase of 218% year-on-year; and realized net profit of RMB 59.26 million, an increase of 245% year-on-year. It created the best performance in the history of guarantee scale and operating income since the company was founded nine years ago. The financial service industry of Capital Group is showing its momentum in the stage of Beijing's economic construction.
Faced with the severe challenges and fierce market competition in the new century and new stage, Capital Group is carefully planning and building its future in accordance with the strategic deployment of Beijing Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), clearly taking "urban construction and operation service provider" as its strategic positioning for development, and concentrating on the three core businesses of infrastructure, real estate and financial services, with a view to making the best of the three core businesses. It has clearly positioned "urban construction and operation service provider" as its development strategy and focused all its efforts on improving and strengthening its three core businesses, namely infrastructure, real estate and financial services, especially in the water industry, with a view to becoming the flagship of water services in the country. On this basis, CCTC will actively promote the Group's three major competitive strategies of internationalization, management innovation and structural adjustment, accelerate the introduction of international strategic investors, and launch comprehensive and systematic cooperation with multinational companies. It will accelerate the establishment of a modern corporate governance structure, fully draw on the management concepts and methods of multinational companies, and gradually establish a talent flow mechanism and incentive and constraint mechanism in line with international standards. At the same time, in accordance with the requirements of shrinking fronts, optimizing structure and enhancing value, we will make every effort to push forward the adjustment of industrial structure, capital structure and debt structure, and optimize and withdraw from assets that are not in line with the Group's strategic development direction. We will reform and standardize the functions of companies at all levels, comprehensively enhance the management level and cost control ability, strengthen the construction of the Group's management and control system, strive to improve the execution power of companies at all levels in implementing the Group's strategies, create a group of high-quality talents with international strategic vision and professional knowledge, and actively explore the two types of domestic and international resources and two markets to participate in the competition of the international market, so as to make the enterprise's economic aggregate volume and scale efficiency achieve high speed growth and become a domestic first-class company with a high degree of competitiveness. The company will realize rapid growth in economic volume and scale efficiency, and become a first-class large-scale industrial investment holding company with strong international competitiveness.
