Event Summary / 活动概况

2016 was a big year in the China-Australia business relationship. After several stops – starts, the historic Kidman property was finally sold to a group that included Chinese developer Shanghai CRED. To the dismay of New South Wales Premier Mike Baird, the Federal government blocked China’s State Grid from buying Ausgrid, thereby forcing NSW to accept a bid that was $3 billion lower. James Packer’s Crown Casino empire is still grappling with charges brought by the Chinese government against key employees.

At the same time, forces within China are influencing the Australian economy in ways that would have been unimaginable just 10 years ago. The emergence of 100 million middle-class Chinese consumers has impacted the availability of baby formula at Coles and Woolies. Xi Jinping’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign is changing the face of M&A activity, and the renminbi’s decline is creating uncertainty in Australia’s property and asset markets.

The importance of China to the Australian economy cannot be overstated. From Sydney property to Gold Coast tourism to Victorian dairy products, to WA/SA premium food producers, Chinese investors and consumers are transforming markets across Australia.

Basis Point principals David Chin and CT Johnson will highlight the most significant investment and commercial developments between China and Australia during 2016, providing context and analysis on why these events are important for your business, including:

  • China’s most significant investments, within China, and in Australia and globally
  • China’s most important commercial transactions, within China, and in Australia and globally
  • Significant political, social and economic events within China

Importantly, they’ll look towards 2017 and tell you about the critical issues that will impact Australian firms, including:

  • China’s new regulatory oversight over foreign investments
  • The outlook for China’s currency controls and how it will impact on the Australian property and investment market
  • Changing trends among China’s middle class consumers

Following the event, there will be a cocktail networking event hosted by HLB Mann Judd.

100+ delegates are expected including;

  • Business owners, executives and senior managers from Australian property, agriculture, food, FMCG, investment and tourism companies
  • Chinese and Asian investors seeking projects to fund via equity, off-take agreements, and/or loans
  • Chinese, Asian & Australian distribution agents, exporters and deal-spotters
  • Service providers including e-commerce specialists, exporters, government officials, lawyers, accountants, private bankers, corporate advisers, private equity managers, Chinese sales/distribution professionals, & marketers, amongst others

All attendees will receive a free copy of the 40 page abridged version of Dragons Down Under Report.

2016年是对中澳商务关系非常重要的一年。在经历了几度的暂停和重启后,历史悠久的基德曼牧场(Kidman)最终被出售给包括中国开发商上海CRED在内的财团。澳大利亚联邦政府阻止中国国家电网对澳大利亚电网的收购,这令新南威尔士州州长麦克·贝尔徳(Mike Baird)感到颇为沮丧,不得不接受另一个低了30亿澳大利亚元的报价。而詹姆斯·帕克(James Packer)的皇冠赌场帝国仍在努力解决中国政府对其关键员工的指控。

与此同时,中国内部的力量也在以十年前难以想象的方式影响着澳大利亚经济。中国1亿中产阶级消费者的出现影响了Coles和Woolies超市婴儿配方奶粉的供应。习近平持续的反腐运动正在改变并购活动的面貌,而人民币的贬值正给澳大利亚房地产和资产市场带来不确定性因素。

中国对澳大利亚经济的重要性不容忽视。从悉尼房地产到黄金海岸旅游业,从维多利亚州的乳制品到西澳/南澳的优质食品生产商,中国投资者和消费者正在改变全澳市场。

Basis Point负责人David Chin和张思齐(CT Johnson)将重点介绍2016年中澳两国之间的重大投资和商务发展事件,结合大环境分析为何这些事件对您的业务如此重要,包括:

  • 中国国内、和在澳大利亚及全球的重大投资事件;
  • 中国国内、和在澳大利亚及全球的重大商业交易;
  • 中国国内具有重要意义的政治、社会及经济事件。

重要的是,他们将着眼2017,并告诉您将会影响到澳大利亚企业的关键问题,包括:

  • 中国对外国投资的新监管监督政策;
  • 对中国外汇管制的展望及中国外汇管制将如何影响澳大利亚房地产及投资市场
  • 中国中产阶级消费者的趋势动向

会后将有由HLB Mann Judd举办的鸡尾酒社交活动。

预计将有逾100位代表参会,包括:

  • 来自澳大利亚地产、农业、食品、快消、旅游和投资界的企业家及高级管理者。
  • 寻找投资项目(通过股权、承购协议或贷款)的中国及亚洲投资人
  • 来自中国、亚洲及澳大利亚的经销商代理、出口商和交易员
  • 服务提供者,包括政府官员、律师、会计、私人银行家、公司顾问、私募经理、电子商务专家、出口商、中国销售/经销专业人士、营销人员等。
