尊敬的各位来宾、各位青年朋友:


大家上午好!非常感谢主办方的邀请,可以让我在这里与各位优秀青年代表交流学习、分享观点。我今天演讲的题目是:发挥跨境企业特色,助力湾区融合发展。

首先,我介绍一下越秀集团的基本情况。越秀集团于1985年在香港成立,是广州资产规模最大的国有企业之一,也是广州市的驻港企业。经过38年的改革发展,已形成了以金融、房地产、交通基建、食品为核心的“4+X”现代产业体系,2022年集团统计口径的总资产接近1万亿,营收突破千亿大关,利润总额180亿元,位列中国企业500强榜单第262位和中国100大跨国企业公司的第11位。


企业是市场经济中最活跃的主体,跨境企业在出境区域融合发展方面具有突出的优势和重要的作用。作为总部位于香港,业务覆盖内地和港澳的企业,越秀集团始终扎根于大湾区,积极参与粤港澳大湾区的合作交流与共建。


一、服务大湾区建设,为打造宜居宜业宜游优质生活圈、实现大湾区互联互通贡献力量。集团旗下的越秀地产立足大湾区,已布局香港、广州、深圳等6座大湾区城市,2022年大湾区的销售收入位居行业第二名。基础设施方面,集团参与投资建设的琶洲港港澳客运口岸将于今年正式开通,实现广州中心城区水路直达港澳。特别是我们把握南沙开发开放的机遇,将南沙作为参与粤港澳大湾区建设的战略支点,近年来,集团在南沙累计纳税超过120亿元,打造了越秀国际金融中心等精品项目,运营了南沙首个国际品牌酒店----喜来登酒店,以“投促引”推动中科宇航等战略新兴产业落户南沙。


二、支持科创事业,为打造大湾区科技创新枢纽、促进大湾区青年人才交流注入动能。越秀集团连续3年向香港科技大学捐资合计2.8亿港元,支持香港科技大学(广州)顺利落户南沙。越秀集团携手港科大共同打造穗港产学研基地,通过“政府+企业+高校”三方力量,构筑大湾区科技创新发展平台。越秀集团连续6年冠名赞助港科大百万奖金(国际)创业大赛,大家熟悉的大疆无人飞机也是这个大赛的参与者。探索建立科技创新专项基金,为优质科创项目提供全生命周期的融资对接项目,在大湾区培育科技创新氛围,推动大湾区科技创新人才交流和科技创新成果转化。


三、分享发展机遇,为粤港澳大湾区青年在大湾区实习、工作、创业创造机会和条件。作为广州市穗港澳合作交流促进会会长单位,越秀集团积极搭建穗港澳三地合作交流的平台,2019年以来已经通过港澳青年来穗实习计划,安排数百名港澳青年到广州实习工作。针对来穗的港澳青年找房难、租房贵的难题,越秀集团在旗下3家公寓试点共建湾区青年驿站,为来广州就业创业的港澳青年提供租房优惠、就业创业、志愿服务、社会融入等系列公益服务,助力他们实现创业梦、探索梦。


越秀集团诞生于大湾区,成长于大湾区。我们将锚定大湾区建设重要平台公司的战略定位,围绕关键环节和重点领域,发挥跨境企业的特色,助力湾区融合发展再上新台阶。


一是全力支持《南沙方案》落地落实。越秀集团将把握《南沙方案》落地的历史性机遇,利用南沙协同港澳、面向世界的优势,继续加大在南沙的投资和金融投放力度,将企业自身的发展融入南沙开发开放的大局,以支持《南沙方案》落地,深度参与粤港澳大湾区的交流与合作。


二是提供更加优质的跨境金融服务。集团旗下的创新银行是一家有着75年历史的香港银行,在香港、澳门及湾区拥有超过40家的分支机构,将以打造跨境特色综合性商业银行为战略愿景,发挥跨境的特色和优势,不断打磨创新能力和服务能力,为湾区客户提供更加优质的跨境金融产品,服务好客户跨境展业的需求,促进粤港澳大湾区的资金融通。


三是当好粤港澳三地沟通交流的桥梁。越秀集团将继续发挥广州市穗港澳合作交流促进会会长单位的作用,利用好在地域布局和商脉、人脉方面的优势,开展多种形式的活动,为穗港澳经济社会发展和沟通合作交流作出更大的贡献。
粤港澳大湾区建设的纵深发展孕育着新的机遇,呼唤着更高程度的融合发展。越秀集团将继续发挥跨境企业特色,与广大湾区青年一起共绘发展篇章,共享发展成果,为促进湾区青年的交流与合作,为助力粤港澳大湾区的融合发展而不懈努力,谢谢大家!

Andrew Lee says Yuexiu Group will harness unique strengths as cross-border enterprise to facilitate integrated development of the Greater Bay Area

On 26 March, Andrew Lee, chief capital officer of Yuexiu Enterprises (Holdings) Limited, delivered a keynote speech at the Guangdong Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Cooperation and Development Forum of the Asia Youth Leaders Forum. Following is the full text of the speech.

Distinguished guests,

Dear young friends,

Good morning. I’d like to thank the hosts for inviting me and giving me the opportunity to exchange ideas with the outstanding young delegates here to and learn from you. The topic of my speech today is Harnessing the Unique Strengths as a Cross-border Enterprise to Facilitate the Integrated Development of the Greater Bay Area. 

First of all, I’d like to give you some basic information of Yuexiu Group. Yuexiu Group was established in 1985 in Hong Kong. We are one of the largest state-owned enterprises in terms of asset in Guangzhou and serve as a window into Guangzhou. After 38 years of reform and development, we have focused our businesses on finance, real estate, transportation infrastructure, and food, and developed a “4+x” modern business structure around them. By 2022, the group’s total assets, based on statistical calculations, approached one trillion yuan, with revenue exceeding 100 billion yuan and a total profit of 18 billion yuan. It ranked 262nd on the list of China’s top 500 enterprises and 11th among China’s top 100 multinational corporations.

In a market economy, enterprises are the most active players, and cross-border enterprises play a prominent and important role in promoting the regional integration and development. As a company headquartered in Hong Kong with operations covering mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao, Yuexiu Group has always been rooted in the Greater Bay Area and actively participates in the cooperation, exchange, and joint development within the Greater Bay Area.

Firstly, we promote the development of the Greater Bay Area and contribute to the creation of a quality living circle for living, working, and traveling and the achievement of connectivity in the area. Our subsidiary, Yuexiu Property, is based in the Greater Bay Area and has business in six cities in total in the Greater Bay Area including Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. In 2022, its sales revenue in the Greater Bay Area was the second largest in the industry. In terms of infrastructure, we were engaged in the investment and construction of the Pazhou Ferry Terminal, which is scheduled to open this year and will connect Guangzhou’s central areas directly with Hong Kong and Macao. 

We also see the opportunities in the development and opening-up of Nansha and use Nansha as a strategic springboard to participate in the development of the Greater Bay Area. In recent years, we have cumulatively paid over 12 billion yuan in taxes in Nansha. We have developed a number of reputed projects such as the Yuexiu International Finance Center. We operate in Nansha the first international brand hotel, Sheraton Hotel. Through investment, we have also helped Nansha attract CAS Space and other strategic emerging industries.

Secondly, we support the development of science and technology and help build, in the Greater Bay Area, a hub for scientific and technological innovation and promote the exchange of young talents in the area. For three consecutive years, we have made donations to Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), totaling 280 million HK dollars, and supported locating its Guangzhou campus in Nansha. In Qingsheng, Nansha, we partnered with HKUST to create a Guangzhou-Hong Kong industry-academy-research base, using strengths of the government, businesses, and universities to build a development platform for scientific and technological innovation in the Greater Bay Area. 

Meanwhile, Yuexiu Group has, for six consecutive years, been the title sponsor of the HKUST’s One Million Dollar International Entrepreneurship Competition. DJI, a well-known unmanned aerial vehicle company, was a participant in this competition. We are exploring the establishment of a special fund for technological innovation to provide high-quality science and technology projects with financing and support throughout the life cycle. We aim to cultivate an atmosphere of scientific and technological innovation in the Greater Bay Area, promote the exchange of talent in scientific and technological innovation, and facilitate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.

Thirdly, we share development opportunities and create conditions for Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao youth to intern, work, and start businesses here. As chair of the Council for Promotion of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Cooperation (Guangzhou), we actively build platforms for cooperation and exchange among the three regions. Since 2019, through the Hong Kong and Macao Youth Internship Program in Guangzhou, we have helped hundreds of Hong Kong and Macao youth to intern and work in Guangzhou. In order to address their difficulties in apartment hunting and high rents, we have piloted in three of our serviced apartments the establishment of Greater Bay Area Youth Stations, providing Hong Kong and Macao youth who come to Guangzhou for employment or entrepreneurship, with rental discounts, employment and entrepreneurship support, volunteer services, and social integration services, among others, and helping them realize their “entrepreneurial and exploration dreams”.

Yuexiu Group was born and raised in the Greater Bay Area. We will anchor ourselves to the strategic positioning as an important platform company for the area’s development. And we will focus on key aspects and areas, leveraging our characteristics as a cross-border enterprise to elevate integrated development of the Greater Bay Area to a new level.

Firstly, we will fully support the implementation of the Nansha Plan. Seizing the historic opportunities presented by the plan’s implementation, we will give play to Nansha’s advantages of cooperation Hong Kong and Macao and further opening-up to the world and continue to increase investments and financial deployments in Nansha. We will orient our development of ourselves in line with Nansha’s overall development and opening-up to support the implementation of the Nansha Plan and actively participate in exchanges and cooperation within the Greater Bay Area.

Secondly, we will provide higher-quality cross-border financial services. Our subsidiary, Chong Hing Bank, is a Hong Kong bank with a history of 75 years. In Hong Kong, Macao, and other cities in the Greater Bay Area, it operates more than 40 branches. With the strategic vision of establishing a cross-border comprehensive commercial bank, it will leverage its cross-border characteristics and advantages, constantly enhance its innovation capabilities and service delivery capabilities, and provide customers in the Greater Bay Area with higher-quality cross-border financial products, to meet their needs in cross-border business development and to promote the liquidity of funds in the Greater Bay Area.

Lastly, we will act as a bridge for communication and exchange between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. We will continue to play our role as chair of the Council for the Promotion of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Cooperation (Guangzhou) and, with our advantages in business outreach and business connections, we will carry out various forms of activities to make greater contributions to the economic and social development and communication and cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao.

Further development of the Greater Bay Area is giving birth to new opportunities and calling for a higher degree of integration. Yuexiu Group will continue to leverage its advantages as a cross-border enterprise and join hands with young people in the Greater Bay Area to write a chapter of development and reap its benefits together. We will make unremitting efforts for the exchanges and cooperation between youth in the Greater Bay Area and for the integrated development of the Greater Bay Area. Thank you all.
