PROPERTY INVESTMENT
Property investment is probably the first step for many Chinese investors into the UK market and it is important to find reliable developers and agents. Depending on the type of investment, we recommend two people who specialise in property.
Annie S.
Director, Aniseed Property management & Aniseed Consultancy
Annie graduated from Tongji University in Shanghai and London University in the UK, and used to work as a business developer in the IT industry. She joined the UK property industry in 2009, and her company is based in London, UK, and focuses on servicing high net worth investors from various countries. The company works with various developers such as Berkeley, CBRE, Barratt Homes, London Square, etc. to provide a full range of services from property investment to professional rental management.In addition to the above developers, the company also has long-term deals and co-operation with Hamptons, Fine and Country, Dexter, Chancellors, Foxtons, covering the entire UK market. Anyone interested in luxury property, hotels or other properties should speak to Annie, who can not only help them find high end properties that are not yet on the market, but can also provide property management services.
Jason L.
Director, Tenergy Group
A graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science and a former member of the investment bank, Jason started his own property development company over 15 years ago. He has now progressed from self-financing to setting up a real estate fund to invest in UK property, with properties all over the UK and a wealth of resources and contacts in the industry. He has his own team for property management, project management, architectural and interior design and financial analysis. If clients do not want to hold properties directly, they can hold properties indirectly through their shareholdings in his real estate fund, which is convenient for resolving tax issues, transfers and other dispositions.

Ekin G & Max M.
Chief Operating Officer & Chief Financial Officer, Jing Capital LTD.
Ekin and Max are the founders and management of the largest milk tea shop in the UK, and together they have been able to increase the number of milk tea shops from 1 to 40 in 3 years, establish a well-established supply chain and point of sale in the UK, and not only create their own brand, but also the largest supplier of raw materials to the milk tea market in the UK. They have always been highly interested in expanding into new business areas, and due to commercial confidentiality, they are limited to special customers in their business, but they are willing to share their experience in terms of developing their team, and how to resolve conflicts of language in their business management.
BOUTIQUE INVESTMENT
Some HNWIs like to combine hobbies with investment opportunities, and common luxury products do not satisfy these customers. In the UK, there are two things that are very unique and appeal to this group of customers, one is art and the other is whisky.
Lazarus H.
Head of Department of Chinese Art Auction,
Bonhams Auction
Lazarus graduated from the University of Oxford and then studied Chinese literature at Beijing University. Fascinated by Chinese literature and art, Lazarus joined the Chinese art auction industry after graduation. His auction house is one of the top three in the United Kingdom, and with appraisal and fiduciary teams in the U.S., U.K., and Europe, they hold auctions in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong, with an unrivalled international presence. He was a bit shy in conversation, but was able to talk about the exhibits at their auctions and his own collection of Chinese art from around the UK, and I am sure that his wealth of knowledge will appeal to those interested in art.
David Y.
Founder & Partner, GWP Europe
David Young has worked in the whisky industry for eight years and has excellent expertise in whisky investments, covering investment strategy, portfolio management and risk control.
