> Gentlemen,
>
> BHR was granted a quota of investment of RMB6 billion (roughly close to USD1 billion) and Harvest RMB15 billion (about USD2.5 billion).
>
> For BHR, J will have a time window of 1 month to raise that investment money. J and Andy will bust their asses to come up with the money from China and HK investors they've been talking to. My guess is that, given a goldmine-like investment transaction like this, they will be able to raise some good money from Chinese institutions even though I'm not too sure that the total of RMB6 billion will 100% be raised in Oct.
>
> For a investment deal like this in China, I don't think BHR will be able to charge 2% or 2.5% regular annual management fee. Maybe, 1-1.5%, tops. As for carried int, J will still have to conduct tough nego with potential investors.
>
> The above said, I must agree it's a good start for our BHR if and when a good part of the RMB6 billion investment money is successfully raised.
