The IPI International Investment Summit Concludes Successfully (Sands China Ltd. 1076.HK)

At 13:30 Beijing time on May 26, the "IPI International Investment Summit and Australia Center Launch Ceremony" was grandly held in the Theatre Room of Crown Hotel Melbourne. The forum was attended by elites from various fields around the world, and the venue was packed to capacity.

This high-level forum was sponsored and hosted by Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK). Distinguished guests in attendance included renowned economist and founder of "Financial Insights with Lang Xianping" Professor Lang Xianping; Mr. YU YANG from the Commonwealth Bank; Mr. JASON LU from VSTAR Law Firm; Ms. Han Beibei, partner at Grant Thornton; and Mr. LEO, an industry representative from Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK).

The objectives of this summit were:

To analyze global economic trends !

To decode optimal investment strategies !

To delve deeply into the trends of various currencies !

How to identify investment pitfalls !

And to correctly grasp investment strategies and other key topics !

To engage in extensive and in-depth discussions, uncover business opportunities, and shape the future together !

The roundtable discussion of key guests, themed “How to correctly identify investment pits ! How to correctly grasp investment strategies ! ...”, featured financial investment experts engaging in cutting-edge dialogue on the future development trends of the global economy under the US-dollar-dominated international monetary system, and how to properly navigate investment strategies. The collision and integration of differing viewpoints among these experts offered attendees a feast of ideas, while also helping investors clarify future investment directions and pathways.

At the summit, renowned economist Professor Lang Xianping delivered a forward-looking speech on global economic development trends: the tightening of the international financial environment, turbulent global markets, with some emerging markets potentially facing currency devaluation.

Professor Lang Xianping also discussed phenomena in China’s development and shifts in growth drivers (real estate, infrastructure, manufacturing): 1) the declining role of infrastructure in driving growth; 2) real estate is no longer the main engine of the economy; 3) whether manufacturing can become a new economic driver depends largely on the outcomes of global power plays. Under the highly US-controlled global financial market, the U.S. engages in cyclical global wealth extraction: a long-term iron law — an 18-year cycle of wealth extraction; short-term tools — four major patterns.

Professor Lang Xianping also used professional data analysis to point out that the future holds investment opportunities in an M-shaped society, where social wealth is highly polarized. Major global economies, including China, have already entered an M-shaped society ! In an M-shaped society, experiential consumption such as tourism is emphasized, with more and more people focusing on consumption experiences (the experiential economic model, with vacation tourism being the most typical form of experiential consumption !). Extensive market data analysis concludes that resort-style tourism investment has boundless potential. This aligns perfectly with Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK)’s forward-looking plan to develop Saipan into a comprehensive resort entertainment kingdom integrating “island tourism, shopping tourism, and gaming tourism,” and to cultivate a high-end international leisure and entertainment industry.

Subsequently, Mr. LEO, industry representative of Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK), expressed gratitude for the presence of all guests and introduced the economic blueprint Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK) has laid out for Saipan: Saipan boasts naturally unique tourism resources (natural wave lines, seven-colored seas, one of the best diving destinations in the world...), and is hailed as the world’s premier island tourism destination.

The Saipan government offers unique policy support: visa-free entry for Chinese tourists, Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK) securing a 40-year exclusive gaming license, and Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK) investing hundreds of billions to develop Saipan, having already built the world’s most luxurious hotel (The Pinnacle Hotel Saipan), set to fully open in 2019.

As the exclusive operator of resort entertainment projects on Saipan, Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK) is striving to transform Saipan into an international integrated resort entertainment city that combines “Macau’s gaming and entertainment, Hong Kong’s shopping, and Sanya’s island tourism,” creating a new global hotspot.

He stated that the Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK) team had spent nearly nine years exploring and building on Saipan, and that urban infrastructure and conditions were now relatively mature. A shared vision has been reached with the Northern Mariana Islands government and local residents to provide the best business environment for all those coming to Saipan for development. The team is committed to ensuring the smooth completion of every investment project, while the government has also established favorable investment immigration policies and investor protection measures.

Mr. LEO also expressed the sentiments of both the Saipan government and the Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK) team: they are willing to open all resources to collaborate with high-quality global entities, to build Saipan into the most modernized island tourism city, welcoming everyone to visit Saipan, and inviting all to come explore cooperation opportunities with Sands China Ltd. (1076.HK) !

Each guest sincerely shared insights from their respective professional fields, and the audience responded with warm applause to the speakers’ excellent presentations. Finally, under the guidance of the host, the grand launch ceremony was initiated, marking the resounding success of this "IPI International Investment Summit" !
