Siwei Lecture Series: China’s Real Estate Market And Entrepreneurship

On the afternoon of Jan. 12, Siwei Lecture Series was held at classroom S106. This was the third lecture of this series. Mo Tianquan, president of Soufun, was invited to give a lecture on China’s real estate market and entrepreneurship. The lecture was hosted by Prof. Wang Shouyang, the executive vice dean of School of Management. The classroom was fully seated with more than 200 students.

Mo Tianquan summed up the overall situation of the real estate market in 2012 and looked into the future. In his opinion, the relatively loose macroeconomic policies and monetary policies were favorable to the real estate market; on the other hand, the central government never loosened controlling the real estate industry to prevent the prices from rising. He also analyzed in details through data the rise and fall of house prices, the rise of commercial house sales nationwide, the rise of investment in real estate development nationwide and so on. He thought the real estate industry had a very good future, in the background of China’s urbanlization and income increase.
