The helm of a huge business empire suddenly died.
On the evening of 65438+February 18, CIIC Enterprise Group issued an obituary in official website, claiming that Xie Zhikun, the founder of CIIC Enterprise Group, died in Beijing at 9: 40 on 65438+February at the age of 6 1.
Xie Zhikun built a huge business empire from scratch, but he himself was unusually low-key. The low-key life is in sharp contrast with this business legend, whose identity is more known to the general public as the husband of the famous singer Mao Amin. It is reported that Xie Zhikun and Mao Amin got married in 2003 and had a daughter and a son in 2004 and 2008. Mao Amin's name also appeared on the list of Jie Zhikun funeral committee published by China Plant Enterprise Group official website.
Xie Zhikun, born in Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, was originally a worker in a printing factory. But in the 1980s, the printing factory lost money, and Xie Zhikun was appointed as the factory director and contracted because of his outstanding ability. Under its leadership, the printing factory quickly turned losses into profits, and its business scope expanded to operate pasta factories, clothing factories, wood storage factories, cement factories, farms and so on.
It is rumored that Xie Zhikun's capital snowballed with his timber business in Northeast China and his investment in Hainan real estate. From 65438 to 0995, Xie Zhikun established Heilongjiang Zhongzhi Enterprise Group Company, and then began to show his talents in the capital market. Some insiders believe that Zhongzhi originated from industry and flourished in finance.
Official website, a plant enterprise in China, showed that the company entered the financial industry at 200 1; In 2009, the Group formed investment, mergers and acquisitions, asset management, industrial funds and other business sectors, and its strategic layout was positioned as a financial investment holding group. 20 13 forms four major sectors: finance, mergers and acquisitions, wealth management and new finance.
Official website of Zhongzhi Enterprise Group shows that the Group strategically holds or participates in six licensed financial institutions including Zhongrong Trust, Zhongrong Fund, Hengqin Life Insurance, Hengbang Property Insurance, Zhongrong Credit Futures and Tianke Jiahao Pawnshop; Five asset management companies, covering real estate management, non-performing asset management, mixed reform of state-owned enterprises, mergers and acquisitions, and private equity investment; Holding or participating in four wealth management companies: Hengtian Fortune, Xinhu Fortune, datang wealth and Goldman Sachs Fortune.
With their super fund-raising ability, the four wealth management companies have become the expanding fund "blood bank" of China Botanical Department. However, the financial sector is also a high-risk place. In fact, the regulatory authorities have asked CIIC Enterprise Group to merge four wealth companies to reduce the expansion space, but the merger has been delayed due to the different ownership structures of each company.
Not only that, the investment of Zhongzhi has also stepped on Leikangmei Pharmaceutical, LeTV and Changsheng Bio. According to the media, most of the nine listed companies actually controlled by Zhongzhi are on the verge of delisting, and most of them are fighting for the protection of their shells.
Around 20 19, the risks of zhongsheng system were gradually exposed, which made Xie Zhikun, who had gradually retired, go out again. Official website showed that last year, Zhongzhi Enterprise Group implemented the strategy of restructuring non-performing assets and the strategy of mixed reform of state-owned enterprises. Slimming finance and focusing on industry. We have laid out new energy and resource industries and vigorously developed fields such as semiconductors, big data, big health, and ecological protection. After several years of adjustment and transformation, Zhongzhi Group has achieved certain results in resolving risks. However, the sudden death of Xie Zhikun, the head of today's company, has added a lot of fog to the future development of the company.
Struggle with Taoyun Capital for "grabbing production"
Xie Zhikun is a low-key person. Zhongzhi Department is good at capital operation but doesn't like talking to the media. The recent news related to the Zhongzhi Department is still the "tip-off letter" of Taoyun Capital.
165438 This year1October 30th, Beijing Hengying Property Management Co., Ltd., which was established five days ago, successfully won the bid for the original Leshi Building in Chaoyang District, Beijing for 573 million yuan.
Just when the outside world thought that the original LeTV Building, which had been auctioned many times and reduced its price by 654.38 billion yuan, finally found a buyer, on February 3, 654.38, Taoyun Capital issued a statement saying, "In this auction, Zhejiang Zhongtai hiding behind the shell company is both an auctioneer and a bidder."
Tao Yun Capital said in the statement that the source of funds for Beijing Hengying Property Management Co., Ltd. was provided by Zhongzhi Company; Zhejiang Zhongtai, the auctioneer who has a long-standing dispute with Taoyun Capital over LeTV Building, is actually controlled by Xie Rutong, who is the immediate family member of Xie Zhikun, the actual controller of Zhongzhi Group. According to media reports, Xie Rutong is the daughter of Xie Zhikun and his ex-wife and was born in 1986.
In this regard, Guo Ren, a global partner of PCG, analyzed that although Taoyun Capital claimed that the source of funds of Beijing Hengying Property Management Co., Ltd. was provided by Zhongzhi Company, it did not produce relevant evidence. Bidders and auctioneers in this project do not belong to the parent company and subsidiaries in the legal sense, nor do they belong to the branch relationship. The two companies are independent legal persons and bear civil liabilities independently according to law.
According to the announcement issued by Taoyun Capital, after accepting Yi Dao's equity as a debt repayment condition and completing the transfer registration, Zhongzhi felt remorse for the sharp drop in Yi Dao's share price, so it started to auction LeTV Building without releasing the mortgage right of LeTV Building, and exclusively participated in the auction with its own shadow company, trying to transfer the property right of LeTV Building to its actual controller after obtaining the consideration of 20% equity of Yi Dao held by Taoyun Capital.
"If the announcement of Taoyun Capital is true, this behavior of Zhongzhi Department is indeed a violation of the settlement agreement that has been reached and fulfilled. As for how the dispute between Hao Yun Capital and Zhongzhi on the mortgage of LeTV Building will develop in the future, it depends on how the judicial organs handle it. " Bai Wenxi, chief economist of IPG China, said.
In addition, there are different versions about who will take over the huge business empire left by Xie Zhikun.
It is understood that a pair of children of Xie Zhikun and Mao Amin are underage. Xie Zhikun's brother Zhichun Xie was once the president of Everbright Securities, the vice president of Everbright Bank, the chairman of Everbright Yongming, the deputy general manager of China Investment Corporation, and also a business celebrity. According to media reports, Zhichun Xie was helpful to Xie Zhikun at the beginning of his business, but due to his age and other reasons, there is not much conclusion about his successor at present. Xie Rutong has been deeply involved in the investment of China flora before. In the 20 17 Hurun Rich List, Xie Zhikun and Xie Rutong ranked 6 1 with a wealth of 34 billion yuan. But this time her name didn't appear on the list of the funeral Committee.
However, at present, Zhongzhi Enterprise Group responded that Mr. Liu Yang, the chairman of Zhongrong Trust, was entrusted by Mr. Xie Zhikun's family and decided through discussion by the group management.
According to Times Weekly, Liu Yang, the son of Xie Zhikun's sister, has worked in many different positions in the Central Direct Company for many years. He used to be the head of Zhongzhi Hi-Tech Investment Co., Ltd., the financial director of Shanghai Zhongzhi Jinzhi Technology Investment Co., Ltd., the vice president and financial director of Zhongzhi Group, and the CEO of Zhongzhi Group. In May 2009, Liu Yang, who was only 35 years old, became the chairman of Zhongrong Trust. Under the leadership of Liu Yang, Zhongrong Trust developed rapidly and quickly became the industry leader.
Ciic Enterprise Group also stated that it has formed a mature and efficient management system and operation mechanism. At present, the management teams at all levels of the Group are United and stable, all businesses are carried out normally, production and business activities are running smoothly and the development momentum is good. In the next step, according to the development strategy determined by Xie Zhikun, the Group will adhere to the dual-wheel drive of industry and asset management, further highlight the development of physical industries, strengthen and improve asset management, give full play to the advantages of comprehensive operation, achieve high-quality development, and better serve the country and repay the society.
