Proven efficacy in commercial/residential linkage, resulting in successful acquisition of commercial and residential plots of land
Implementation of the new model of land acquisition by way of commercial/residential linkage continued to show its effectiveness. Subsequent to Changzhou Tian Xia Jin project, the city-property integration model enabled the Group to expand its presence. The Group secured the Anqing commercial and residential complex project and the Wuhan Supply and Marketing Cooperative project. Going forward, it will continue to step up efforts in land acquisition for more asset-heavy commercial property projects. As of 31 December 2020, the Group's aggregate land bank gross floor area was approximately 20.1 million sq.m. (gross floor area attributable to the Group was approximately 9.7 million sq.m.), representing an increase of 18.5% compared to 16.9 million sq.m. as of 31 December 2019, which provides ample support for the future development. In terms of regions, 71% of the Group's land bank is located in the Yangtze River Delta region, mainly in Jiangsu, and the rest are located in key cities in the Greater Bay Area and Chengyu. In 2020, the Group acquired 50 new pieces of land with a gross floor area of approximately 6.9 million sq.m. Among them, 35% of new projects were invested through multiple channels and acquired land through mergers and acquisitions or commercial-residential cooperation, which can effectively control costs.

During the year, the Group continued to strengthen its foothold in Nanjing, and whilst promoting the Hong Yang Plaza brand, it successfully launched Yanjiao Hong Yang Plaza, Yangzhou Hong Yang Plaza and Hengyang Hong Yang Plaza. The Group is also preparing the opening of nine more Hong Yang Plazas in Hefei, Xuzhou, Jining, Fushan in Yantai, Lekai in Yantai, Dacheng in Changzhou, Fenghuangdong in Changzhou, Anqing, and Jinan Hongyang Plaza under leasing and entrusted management, extending its brand to other cities and enhancing its influence in the industry.

Maintain sound financial position and gain wide recognition of the capital market
As of 31 December 2020, the Group's net gearing ratio improved from 70.4% to 50.3% and cash on hand rose 10.0% to RMB18.5 billion. Hence, it had sufficient working capital and sound financial position. In January 2021, the Group made a breakthrough by successfully issuing senior notes at a coupon rate of 7.3% for a term of 4 years with an aggregate principal amount of US$350 million, which realized the US$-denominated senior notes of the largest amount, lowest coupon rate and longest term issued by the Group on a single basis in its history, laying a sound foundation in the capital market.
