The company is undergoing a systematic organizational restructuring to optimize governance and drive business innovation and transformation [1][2].

The former strategic incubation business segment has been renamed to "incubation business segment," which will include environmental services, commercial management, and asset management among others [1][2]. - The "large property segment" aims to create value, focus on deep cultivation, reduce costs, and streamline authority. The core basic property service business will enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency through a tiered service system and digital operations [2][3]. New CFO Profile - The newly appointed CFO, Tian Tian, is a member of the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CPA) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). He has extensive experience in financial management and capital operations, having previously served as CFO in various companies, including a renewable energy logistics firm and a publicly listed company [3].

Core Viewpoint - The implementation of housing inspection systems is being advanced in multiple cities, including Zhengzhou, Dongguan, Wuhan, and Changsha, with a focus on ensuring the safety and longevity of older residential buildings [1][2][3] Group 1: Housing Inspection Implementation - Zhengzhou has released a draft notification outlining a pilot program for housing safety management, which includes a funding system, inspection system, and insurance system [1] - The initial inspections will target urban residential buildings aged 30 years and older, covering critical components such as foundations, structural integrity, and essential facilities [1][2] - Inspection results will categorize buildings as "pass," "basic pass," or "fail," with failed buildings requiring immediate safety measures [1] Group 2: Technical Guidelines and Frequency - Similar to Zhengzhou, many cities are focusing on buildings over 30 years old for inspections, with specific guidelines for different building types [2] - For example, in Changsha, buildings over 25 years old must undergo inspections at varying frequencies, depending on their use and condition [2] - Wuhan has established detailed technical guidelines for inspections, ensuring accurate data collection and comprehensive management throughout a building's lifecycle [2] Group 3: Funding Mechanisms - Funding for inspections is primarily the responsibility of the building safety owners, while public funds or insurance responsibilities cover multi-owner residential buildings [3] - Zhengzhou's funding model includes a 50% subsidy for residential inspections from public accounts, while non-residential inspections are fully funded by the safety owners [3] - The introduction of "insurance + service" mechanisms is encouraged to provide risk prevention services for insured buildings [3] Group 4: Industry Implications - The housing inspection initiative is seen as a critical step in the transition to a stock market era in real estate, with urban renewal becoming a key growth driver [4] - Inspections can help identify safety risks and micro-renovation needs, facilitating more informed urban renewal decisions [4] - The establishment of public funding accounts for inspections may accelerate the development of financial support mechanisms in the real estate sector [4]

Group 2: Financial Responsibility and Reporting - The costs for residential building inspections will be covered by the municipal public account, while non-residential building inspection costs will be borne by the safety responsibility holders, with a 50% subsidy from the public account [2]. - The first inspections for buildings constructed in 1985 or earlier are scheduled for 2026, with subsequent inspections planned for buildings from 1986 to 1990 in 2027, and from 1991 to 1995 in 2028 [2]. Group 3: Safety Assessment and Feedback Mechanism - Safety inspection results will include evaluations of the foundation, structural integrity, and systems, with findings reported to the responsible parties for necessary remediation [2][3]. - If a building fails the initial inspection, it will be deemed unsafe, requiring further assessment or remedial actions before it can be used again [2].
