Private Sharing | Ten Thousands of Shareholders Raise Funds and Rooted in the Community's Investment Fantasy

Link Exhibition (formerly known as The Link REIT) is just a "luxury" shopping mall and market in many people's minds?

As Hong Kong's first "Real Estate Investment Trust" (REIT), The Link REIT has set a bad precedent, giving people the impression that REIT is just an unscrupulous businessman.

If REIT is used properly or is properly regulated, can it provide the public with real estate investment opportunities on the one hand, and on the other hand provide tenants with a stable supply of properties, each getting what it needs and getting what it needs?

In fact, REITs that do their best to fulfill their social responsibilities, even if they do not make huge profits by speculating on properties, they will not increase rents at all times. With stable rental income, they will still be a profitable investment in the long run.

Especially for the large number of middle-aged middle class, it can be said to be a good choice to invest in retirement savings.

When REIT is not doing business properly, speculating and reselling, the stock price fluctuates sharply, and the risk for small shareholders increases greatly.

Broaden your imagination, REIT can be rooted in the community, providing the possibility of raising resources and co-creating and sharing.

Assuming that there are 10,000 REIT shareholders in the community who want to raise funds to start a new project of 10 million yuan, each shareholder only needs to invest an average of 1,000 yuan, and the project can be launched immediately.

If the new project is a new retail location, the future rental income will also be shared by these 10,000 shareholders. They are naturally willing to come to spend with their relatives and friends, take it from the community, and use the community.

Assuming that there is more than one new project proposal, it is also possible to use a similar political and democratic method, with different camps trying to win over their respective supporters, and a compromise and consensus can be reached through democratic negotiation by 10,000 shareholders.

This kind of fantasy, which seems to be just wild and unconstrained, is actually not difficult to implement in today's extremely developed "fintech" (Fintech).

Perhaps the biggest obstacle is just people's prejudice and mentality. It is impossible to imagine how powerful the potential shared by the community can be.
