Jones Lang LaSalle and XY Group form Strategic Partnership

admin — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:19:24 +0000

LOS ANGELES, CA, Feb. 10, 2012, Jones Lang LaSalle today announced the formation of a business development partnership with China based XY Group to explore rail investment opportunities within the United States. XY Group, one of the leading manufacturers of rail systems in the world, has launched an aggressive strategy to expand into international markets. The group is targeting the construction and financing of private sector intermodal projects in its North American market entry.
“Jones Lang LaSalle and XY Group are responding to demand from manufacturing and logistics firms for greater connectivity between domestic seaports and intermodal rail services for their U.S. operations,” said John Carver, head of Jones Lang LaSalle’s Ports Airports and Global Infrastructure (PAGI) group. “The emergence of rail integrated logistics centers and inland ports are creating a demand for both expertise and investment in new rail infrastructure to enhance future industrial park development.”
With the expansion of the Panama Canal moving closer to completion in 2014, developers across the country are eager to create new solutions and rail improvements within their master-planned projects. To attract shippers, logistics and manufacturing firms, these large scale developments will be determined by their transportation links connecting inland hubs to a dedicated rail and/or port system.
Over the next few months, Jones Lang LaSalle’s PAGI desk will begin meeting with principals of development projects with intermodal or rail infrastructure requirements. XY Group will then seek a dialogue with railroad executives, port officials and project development teams to evaluate the feasibility of the project and suitability matched against XY Group’s investment objectives.
“We are deeply impressed with the depth of Jones Lang LaSalle’s relationships with the major seaports, rail providers and development interests across the U.S.”, said Robert Sun, CEO of XY Group. “We believe that a great opportunity exists for XY Group to collaborate with these key stakeholders in offering both our construction expertise and capital to deliver the rail infrastructure needed for the success of all parties.”
“We are seeking to leverage Jones Lang LaSalle’s strong reputation in the marketplace to help identify new investment opportunities for our firm,” added Sun.

As the economy picks up its speed towards globalization, the Chinese Yuan is becoming one of the more recognizable currencies in the world and many Multinational Corporations (MNCs) grew interested in trading with the Yuan. To meet the demands of these MNCs, Bank of China Los Angeles was able to successfully transact the first known RMB cross-border settlement in 2010. Ever since, many people realized the advantages of trading in Yuan and have continually shown a growing interest in what our financial institute can provide for them as an alternative to the weakening Dollar. As people learn more about Bank of China and its history, they were impressed by the competitiveness of our products compared with other financial institutes and began to switch to us as their primary banking needs. With competitive products along with the extensive efforts of our marketing team, Bank of China Los Angeles Branch (LAB) witnessed record setting growth in all areas last year; and after only three quarters, 2011 proved to be an even stronger year.

Such an accomplishment can only be achieved with the full faith and support of our customers. To show a small token of our appreciation, LAB invited its major customers, potential clients, and a selected few honorable guests from China Enterprise Council to a private mixer held at the rooftop lounge of the fabulous 1010 Wilshire complex. In conjunction to the mixer, LAB took the opportunity to showcase the new Renminbi products by hosting a seminar. LAB has devoted tremendous time and manpower to prepare for this event. Bank of China, New York Branch (NYB) was also very supportive. AGM Xu led a team consisting of key persons from business departments to host the seminar. Upon hearing about this event, most of our invited guests quickly made reservations and the intended seating well exceeded expectations. To accommodate the heavy volume of guests, the seminar had to be divided into two separate sessions. Everyone showed interest in the products and followed up with a lot of questions during the Q and A session.

After the seminar, the guests were invited to the rooftop for food and drinks. The whole event was very successful and LAB left a very good impression to all the guests. The event had a great impact on the Chinese community of the greater Los Angeles area and drew attention from various Media.
