Prospect

CCCC is the largest Mainland China's infrastructure government-owned enterprise company listed in Hong Kong Stock Exchange Market. Some of its stock were bought by some of billionaires, including Li Ka Shing, Lee Shau Kee, Joseph Lau, Robert Kuok and Alwaleed bin Talal, during its initial public offering (IPO) on December 2006. China Life Insurance Group, Chow Tai Fook Group and Government of Singapore Investment Corporation were its strategic stockholders.

Many economic analysts pointed out that CCCC will benefit from China's rapid infrastructure development to cope with Beijing Olympics and Five Year Plan. With the support of the central government, the company's construction orders will perform desirable to reflect the development of China's civil construction market in the future.

With its optimistic prospects and stockholders' support and also the effects of Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor (QDII) from Mainland China, CCCC's stock price has been sharply increased from HK$4.60 (IPO Price) to more than HK$20.00 currently.

Misunderstanding

Many investors believed that CCCC is the joint-venture company of the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications and the China Construction Bank, but it is irrelevant to them since it is engaged in constructions industry, rather than bank industry. However, CCCC now holds the stocks of the Bank of Communications and the China Merchants Bank.
