[breaking news]
Longhu Group’s share price plummeted and the company urgently calmed the market.
On the evening of October 28th, Longhu Group announced personnel changes. Company Wu Yajun petitioned to resign as executive director, chairman of the board of directors and chairman of the nomination committee due to personal age and physical reasons; Chen Xuping, executive director and CEO of the company, was appointed as the chairman of the board of directors.
As soon as the news came out, Longhu Group’s share price plummeted. In this regard, Longhu Group urgently held an investor exchange meeting to appease market confidence.
Why is Wu Yajun handing over his shift now?
Wu Yajun said that in the past three years, she has been arranging candidates who can take over as the chairman. Why to people outside the family, is inspired by () Fang Hongbo and He Xiangjian, to professional managers after the enterprise development is booming.
And how to choose professional managers, Longhu has its own training system. As early as 2004, Longhu launched the "Official Students" project to attract outstanding graduates from domestic and foreign universities and reserve middle and senior management talents for future development. Chen Xuping, the new chairman of Longhu, grew up from the system of "being an official and a student". Wu Yajun said that as early as when Chen Xuping was the general manager of the project, he had an in-depth exchange with him and felt that he was a talented person in terms of investment, loyalty and business ideas. Especially in the last seven or eight years, I have had a lot of exchanges with him. Last year, Chen Xuping was in charge of the whole market in the group.
It is reported that around this year’s interim results, Wu Yajun was ready to hand over the baton to Chen Xuping, but at the beginning of August, Longhu was short-sold, and the sales did not return to normal, so the shift was postponed. Since the third quarter, Longhu’s sales have begun to return to normal, and all debts due during the year have been paid off. Next year’s maturity is also planned in advance. At this time, it is a good time to replace successors.
Another reason for Wu Yajun’s decision to resign is his health. In the past few years, Wu Yajun has been suffering from diabetes and hypothyroidism, and his physical condition has been greatly deteriorated.
After stepping down as chairman of the board of directors, Wu Yajun’s status in Longhu became a strategic development consultant. Wu Yajun said that he would pay attention to the development of the company from two aspects, including making suggestions on the business model of Longhu, and how to seek new profit growth points and how to avoid risks. It said that it will keep in touch with the management and is willing to accept the consultation of the management team.
Longhu Group is in good operating condition and will consider "de-real estate" in the future.
Chen Xuping said that Longhu’s recent business situation is relatively good. In the third quarter, sales turned positive year-on-year. From September to October, 10 plots of land were acquired, with a land acquisition amount of 10.8 billion. In the third quarter, when many central state-owned enterprises failed to sell, Longhu took land in several cities, showing its confidence in the market outlook. In the future, Longhu’s strategy can be classified as urban focus and waterway focus.
He revealed that as early as August and September last year, Longhu had observed that some cities were not right. Previously, third-and fourth-tier cities had stimulated a lot of demand by monetizing sheds, including some investment opportunities. Therefore, Longhu has sorted out 20 key cities, 14 opportunity cities and 34 cities that will not be invested in stages.
In addition, Chen Xuping, the successor, elaborated on the future development direction of Longhu to investors and mentioned de-real estate. It said that in the coming year, special attention will be paid to the arrangement of cash flow, and at the same time, under this premise, profits will be guaranteed to increase steadily.
In terms of waterway focus, in the next five years, Longhu’s commercial, rental housing, space service and smart construction will account for more than half of the profits, and its revenue will account for 30% of the whole group. By that time, Longhu should have completed the de-real estate. Twenty years later, operational income’s goal beyond real estate is 100 billion yuan.
Longhu repaid the loan in advance by HK$ 5.1 billion, and the controlling shareholder increased its holdings by 3 million shares.
Longhu Group announced at noon on October 31 that it had learned that the company’s share price fluctuated abnormally, and the board of directors confirmed that the Group’s business operation was stable and its financial situation was healthy and safe.

Tik Tok was sentenced to compensate Tencent for more than 32 million yuan.
On October 26th, Xi ‘an Intermediate People’s Court made a first-instance judgment on the case of Yunnan Worm Valley, and Tik Tok was awarded compensation of over 32 million yuan to Tencent.
It is reported that on August 30th, 2021, after the solo broadcast of "Yunnan Worm Valley" in Tencent video, there were a large number of clips uploaded by users on Tik Tok. Tencent filed a lawsuit, demanding that Tik Tok immediately take effective measures to delete, filter and intercept the relevant videos, and compensate the economic losses and reasonable expenses by 10 million yuan, and then the claim amount was raised to 90 million yuan.
Tik Tok argued that the relevant videos were uploaded by users themselves, and there were a large number of users on the platform, so it was impossible for Tik Tok to conduct substantive review of massive information; And according to the law, Tik Tok Platform only provides information network storage services, and has no obligation to censor content. The platform has reminded users that the uploaded content shall not infringe the intellectual property rights of others, and has fulfilled the obligation of notification and deletion, so it does not constitute infringement.
On October 26th, Xi ‘an Intermediate People’s Court made a first-instance judgment on the case of Yunnan Worm Valley. The court held that a large number of users on the vibrato platform had infringed the works involved. Although Tik Tok took measures to reduce the number of infringing works, the infringement was still not effectively curbed.
Tik Tok therefore belongs to aiding infringement, and should immediately take effective measures to delete, filter and intercept relevant videos, and compensate Tencent for its economic losses and reasonable expenses of more than 32.4 million yuan.
