                Mr. Li Yong (the Governor of Xuzhou Quanshan district) giving the welcome speech

Xuzhou Quanshan district attaches great importance to the “two-way opening-up”, and the establishment of China-Australia Technology Financial Services Platform will play an important role in promoting cooperation and communication between China and Australia. Quanshan District Governor Li Yong said they will adhere to the spirit of mutual help, facilitating the construction of technology financial services platform and providing the best quality resources, policies and services for enterprises in Quanshan District.
 

               Hu Liyong (Chairman of JURU Group Board) giving a speech

Hu Liyong said that JURU Group has become a shareholder of the Australian National Stock Exchange (NSX), which helps open overseas market financing channels and hoping to help more Chinese enterprises to become listed in Australia. JURU Group as a leading and diversified group company in financial industry has a mature operation mode in helping technology companies, especially small and medium sized enterprises in listing and financing.
 

         Zhang Zhiling ( Representative of NSX Australia Shareholders) giving a speech

Australia's National Stock Exchange (NSX) shareholder representative, Zhang Zhiling, briefed the companies on the advantages of the listing through China-Australia Technology Financial Services Platform and the profile of the Australian capital market. Australia is the world's leading provider of financial services and the Australian National Stock Exchange, as Australia's second largest stock exchange, following ASX, has a wealth of experience in the asset-light listing and financing services, etc. Compared with the global capital market including the United States and Hong Kong with higher listing threshold and costs and longer processing time, listing on NSX takes only about 6 months with requirements that the company must have operated for over two years and have good potential for development. Even the company currently does not make any profit, it is still possible to get listed, which explains its relatively low listing threshold and huge growth space for any listed enterprise.
 

 

     Mr. Zhang Lei (President of China-Australia Tong) introduced China-Australia Financial Service Platform and China-Australia Tong

Approved by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, China-Australia Tong is a consultancy company that specializes in overseas listing. With its professional nominated advisors, accounting team, China-Australia Tong is also blessed with abundant resources of the domestic capital market and committed to matching domestic capital with foreign capital markets. CAT has maintained a good relationship with NSXA and succeeded in helping several Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises become listed on Australian stock markets with 100% success rate.
 

              Jiang Xuezhong (President of Bank of Jiangsu, Xuzhou Branch)

          Wayne Swan(Former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and Former Treasurer) giving a speech

Mr. Wayne Swan said in his speech that Australia can provide China with financial products and services in banking, insurance, aged care and wealth management as the deepening of China's reform has increased the Chinese people’s demand for such financial products and services. This will provide support for regional and global continuous opening-up and financial integration. The establishment of China-Australia Technology Financial Services Platform will open up a set of new fintech service channels for Australia and China.
 

                Mr. Wang Anshun (Xuzhou City Executive Vice Mayor) giving a speech

Mr. Wang Anshun introduced the development situation of Xuzhou city which will make full use of its regional resources and advantages to build a regional industrial science and technology innovation center, an advanced manufacturing base and modern service industry city with the elements of rapid development, innovation and capital. Xuzhou has more than 8,000 private technology enterprises with a high-tech industry output value worth over 450 billion yuan, and a large number of scientific and technological enterprises are growing at a rapid pace. The establishment of China-Australia Technology Financial Services Platform presents a “two-way opening-up” opportunity for Xuzhou science and technology enterprises; brings the global technology, capital, talent pool to Xuzhou; facilitate the development of Chinese and Australian enterprises; makes possible a win-win situation between the companies from the two countries. We hope China-Australia Technology Financial Services Platform will soon be put into operation and help facilitate the investment in Xuzhou City for any tech companies which in turn can have a fair share of the outcome of the rapid development of science and technology industry.

澳华财经在线 11月16日讯 澳洲富豪、堪培拉机场所有人特里·斯诺（Terry Snow）持续引领澳大利亚建筑热潮。斯诺在十几年前收购堪培拉机场，如今已成为澳洲历史上非常经典的地产交易案例。今年，机场为斯诺带来利润和股息收益超过2亿澳元。

澳华财经在线 11月16日讯 澳大利亚昆士兰投资公司（QIC）私募股权基金业务部门负责人菲利普·卡明斯（Phillip Cummins）称，未来5到10年间，澳洲本土养老基金投资农业的趋势将日渐明朗和成熟，而这段时间将为那些精明的机构投资者提供早期介入的掘金机遇。
 
ACB News《澳华财经在线》报道，作为近年来中资企业对澳投资热点行业，澳洲优质农牧业项目中蕴藏的机遇令人心动。然而包括外资审查、项目投前评估以及后期管理等投资实践中存在的诸多问题，令数量不菲的境外投资人望而却步。
 
尽管澳洲农牧业备受外资关注青睐，但过去数十年资料表明，澳众多养老金等本土机构鲜有染指畜牧业。
 
2016年3月堪培拉举办的澳农业投资论坛上，现澳洲副总理、彼时的澳农业部长乔伊斯（Barnaby Joyce）曾直言，一方面外资对澳农牧业项目虎视眈眈，另一方面澳本土机构却缺乏投资热情。
 
而现实是，海外巨大的市场带来的对澳优质特色农产品需求的放量增长，客观要求更多资本支出流向资本相对缺乏的澳洲农牧业。
 
随着澳洲顶级机构投资者的重磅出手，该种状况正在改观。
 
2016年5月，掌管资金高达780亿澳元规模的澳洲重磅投资机构，澳大利亚最大的机构投资管理人QIC昆士兰投资公司宣布收购北澳大利亚牧业公司（NAP）80％股权。
 
NAP占地580万公顷，在昆州与北领地有13处养牛场，牧养约17.8万头牛，系澳历史最为悠久、规模最大的农业企业。 市场传闻该收购耗资约4亿澳元。
 
作为澳大利亚最大的机构投资者和基金管理人之一，QIC昆士兰投资公司（Queensland Investment Corporation,）是澳大利亚具有政府背景的全球资产管理机构，主要为政府、养老金、保险金和主权财富基金提供资产管理服务，目前全球管理资产规模超过780亿澳元，为分布于澳洲、欧洲、亚洲、中东与美国，包括养老金、主权财富基金和保险金在内的90多家机构提供投资与资产管理服务。
 
QIC的卡明斯表示，澳农业领域投资目前处于起步阶段，先行一步的投资者将在获取优质农牧业项目上有更多的选择机遇和空间。
 
然而他同时指出，投资者及投资模式成熟度有待提升，海外投资机构在获取澳农业资产上的程序繁琐耗时过长等现实，为澳洲农业投资带来了挑战。
 
卡明斯表示，即便对澳洲本土的机构投资人如养老基金而言，挑战依然存在：首先，寻找到一个具有投资前景良好、公司治理完善及投资结构适合的资产项目，本身并非易事；其次，多数基金在农业领域进行的资产配置通常难以在其投资组合中进行适当的分类。
 
“但这正是机会所在”，卡明斯表示，对于基金管理公司来说，时间的推移将令诸多聚合性的机会涌现。
 
有趣的是，和基金等机构投资者相比，先行一步的投资人多属于非专业投资者，他们希望先筹措资金进而涉足农牧领域投资，然而大部分筹资水平和专业投资者相去甚远。
 
QIC收购的澳洲牧业公司，不仅资产质量上乘，同时拥有经验丰富的管理团队和基础设施，这些均被视为一个成功农业项目的投资要素。
 
也许，对于众多有意投资澳洲农业的投资人而言，在澳寻找QIC这样本土投资机构并进行合作，不失为一条捷径。

TPP的意外破灭让澳大利亚更加关注亚太地区贸易机遇及与中国的合作

 
澳华财经在线 11月15日讯 本周将举行的亚太领导人峰会上，中国将澳大利亚单列为关键合作伙伴，共同推进区域性自由贸易协议的达成。这将填补一个重要空白：反对全球贸易自由化的的特朗普意外当选美国总统，澳大利亚努力推动的跨太平洋伙伴关系协定（TPP）遭到直接扼杀，此时，亚太自由贸易区（FTAAP）在澳大利亚政治议程上的重要性更加凸显。
 
ACB News《澳华财经在线》报道，上周，奥巴马政府放弃将TPP方案送交国会审议，并认为新总统明年一月就职之前都不可能获得通过。特朗普在竞选期间曾承诺撤除TPP，并以此作为自己的标志性政策之一。TPP被视为有史以来最大的多边贸易协议，获得了包括澳大利亚在内的环亚太地区12个国家的支持。中国并非其中成员，但TPP的破灭意味着，中国政府将能有力推进另一项更广阔区域性贸易协议的达成。
 
亚太自由贸易区（FTAAP）的想法最早由美国在十年前提出，但进展缓慢。2014年中国的加入让这项政治动议的前景骤然明确起来。本周在秘鲁举行的亚太经合峰会上，将会发布一项基于各国政策建议、与亚太自由贸易区（FTAAP）框架有关的联合研究。
 
据澳相关媒体，有中国政府官员称，亚太自由贸易区（FTAAP）是中国政府的“核心”议程，并指出澳大利亚是努力推动该协议的国家之一。澳金融评论报14日发表“中国将澳大利亚作为推动贸易同盟的关键合作方”的文章。报道援引中国外交部直属的智库机构中国国际问题研究院专家王震宇（Wang Zhenyu）的话说，APEC会议召开在即，我们对于亚太自由贸易区FTAAP有很多期待，希望能够取得切实进展。“中国与澳大利亚也在做出努力推动FTAAP”。
 
ACB News《澳华财经在线》报道，上周四，中国外交部国际经济司副司长谈践向媒体表示，亚太自由贸易区（FTAAP）将可促动区域经贸发展，到2025年能够给亚太国家带来2万亿美元的经济收益，其规模大于任何已经提出的自由贸易协议。谈践表示，FTAAP是一份“高水平”、更加开放与均衡的协议。中国将努力推动这项协议的达成。
 
澳贸易部长乔博表示，澳大利亚是亚太自由贸易区（FTAAP）概念的长期支持者。“在秘鲁，我将参与FTAAP联合研究的总结工作，为未来自由贸易区的形成设定一致行动。”
 
中国政府计划在今年底完成涉及东盟十国、中、日、韩、澳、新西兰与印度的区域全面经济伙伴关系（RCEP）的谈判。现在看来FTAAP的吸引到的关注度似乎更为强烈。
 
澳洲国立大学（ANU）东亚经济研究所的德瑞斯戴尔（Peter Drysdale）说，“TPP协议破灭、特朗普当选、英国脱欧均引发国际贸易环境不确定性，开展FTAAP协商是正确的战略性回应。中国政府实行积极的贸易外交政策对于保障全球贸易外交平稳运行有着关键意义。”
 
澳反对党贸易事务发言人克莱尔（Jason Clar）说，堪培拉应当支持FTAAP，因为这是唯一一个同时涉及中国与美国，正在协商当中的贸易协议，而“本世纪亚太地区取得安全与成功的关键维系于两大国的关系”。

澳华财经在线 11月14日讯 澳大利亚的农业土地外资持有水平过高，还是过低，仍是个仁者见仁智者见智的话题。人们的情绪有时很激越——这是难免的，因为农地与食品安全关联紧密。

本周三，澳大利亚中国工商业委员会（ACBC）携毕马威（KPMG）、金杜律师事务所（KWM）与阿里巴巴举办的2016中澳食品与农业峰会在悉尼Wentworth的索菲特酒店举行。
 
ACB News《澳华财经在线》报道，随着中澳自由贸易协定签署生效，中国居民富裕程度提升而中产阶层队伍不断扩大，中澳农业领域贸易交流与合作进一个暂新的成熟阶段。继2014年成功举办上届论坛后，为期一天的2016中澳食品与农业峰会重点探讨了两年来的新进展，并涵盖到农业科技与创新、电商与跨境贸易、农业投资三个核心主题。
 
澳大利亚贸易特使、前澳大利亚贸易投资部长、参与缔造中澳FTA的安德鲁·罗伯先生（Andrew Robb），与中国驻悉尼总领馆经济商务参赞王洪波在峰会上分别发表主旨演说。
 
活动吸引了澳洲食品与农业领域诸多参与者，包括食品生产与加工企业、农业科技创新公司、食品与商品出口商、服务提供商、投资者与金融商，以及政府和产业机构人士等。与会嘉宾、演讲者与观众围绕传统渠道与电商平台下对华出口机遇、中国对澳农业投资最新趋势与成功案例、澳洲农业科技能力与商业化机遇进行精彩分享，共同探讨如何进入广阔的中国市场，讲好“中国故事”。
 
峰会的“贸易与电商”环节，因切中时下中澳贸易新兴热点的跨境电商话题而备受关注。中国市场营销专家，在大中华地区公共关系、企业活动管理及商业谈判等方面有深厚背景与宽广经验的Livia Wang 王芃女士，基于在中澳市场十余年的商业实践经验，提出关于进入中国市场的真知灼见。她指出，澳企进入中国市场应当从市场研究、营销策略的实施、跨文化谈判到人才招揽等方面做充分准备。Livia Wang王芃女士所在的咨询服务公司Access CN主要为促进两大市场互联互通搭建桥梁，提供全面、定制式解决方案。


阿里巴巴集团澳大利亚新西兰公司董事总经理Maggie Zhou周岚女士基于阿里巴巴平台业务的全球性战略、中国电商市场的演变与发展、本地商户如何进驻中国巨大的消费市场等内容进行了案例分享。Maggie Zhou周岚女士自2000年加入阿里巴巴，对集团国际化战略做出重要贡献。她见证了天猫国际澳新业务的发展，并与澳贸委一道，持续努力为澳洲品牌商与名企揭示中国电商市场的巨大价值，并帮助他们开拓市场。
 
The Export Group创始人之一、集团商业发展经理马修·麦肯齐（Matthew McKenzie）在协助澳洲及国际快消品进入大中华市场方面有大量实战经验。他提出几项关键的成功标准，包括在品牌形象上，要巩固本国市场地位，突出发展历史和品牌故事，只有“澳洲制造”是不够的。在产品结构上要有核心系列，避免过度合规和过分本地化。并且指出，在品牌与产品系列拓展上有要耐心。
