Wang Jianlin chairs Dalian Wanda Group, which has investments in real estate, finance and movie theaters. Dalian Wanda is one of the world's biggest commercial real estate developers with more than 260 plazas in China. After a buying spree, Wang has been retreating in recent years, selling his Chinese hotel and tourism portfolio for over $9 billion in 2017. In 2018, he sold a stake in Spanish soccer club Atletico de Madrid. He also sold a part of his stake in U.S. movie theater chain AMC. He still owns U.S. film studio Legendary Entertainment and operates one of China's largest movie theater chains. Wang served in the Chinese military from 1970 to 1986 before turning around a government real estate venture and then going into business himself in 1989. Wang previously served as a deputy to the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

BlackRock, State Street Exploring Takeover Of Credit Suisse Asset Management Arm
Earlier, several financial media outlets reported that Credit Suisse was considering dramatically shrinking or selling off its prime brokerage unit, the hedge-fund-focused business that just lost $4.7 billion for the bank, obliterating 18 months of the bank's average net profits. But in the last few hours, the focus has shifted to the bank's asset management unit, amid reports that several American firms might be interested in making a bid, even as the bank has yet to release the final tally of expected losses from the Greensill debacle.
With Credit Suisse stock trading at its lowest level in months after a 25% drop, some apparently see an opportunity for a deal. According to Reuters, a SPAC has partnered with BlackRock to hash out the possibility of making a bid to spin out Credit Suisse's asset management business, where the busted Greensill-stocked trade finance funds were based. And they're not the only bidders. BlackRock rival State Street is also reportedly weighing a bid. BlackRock and Jean-Pierre Mustier's blank-check firm are among investors expressing interest in Credit Suisse's asset management arm, three sources told Reuters, as the Swiss lender explores options for the unit after a run of costly scandals.
U.S. investment firm State Street Corp is also eyeing a rival bid for all or part of the Swiss bank's fund management business, while European asset managers including Germany's DWS are waiting in the wings, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Former UniCredit boss Mustier's blank-check firm Pegasus Europe, which focuses on financial services investments, is due to list in Amsterdam between the end of April and early May, two sources said. A spokeswoman for Credit Suisse said the bank had no plans to sell all or any parts of its asset management business. BlackRock, State Street, DWS and Pegasus Europe all declined to comment.
The sources said Credit Suisse is in the early stages of a strategic review of its asset management arm and has yet to entertain in-depth discussions with interested parties. The bank will need to wait for former Lloyds boss Antonio Horta-Osorio to take over as chairman in May before any decision on whether to sell or spin off the unit can be taken, the sources said, cautioning no deal was certain. Credit Suisse in March announced an overhaul of the asset management unit amid the fallout from the Greensill debacle, bringing in former UBS executive Ulrich Koerner to lead the unit and separating it from international wealth management.
As Bloomberg reported in a piece published Friday, Horta-Osorio has a few possible strategies that he can embrace as he leads the turnaround of the bank. They include: a housecleaning that shrinks the Credit Suisse balance sheet and reduces capital allocated to the investment bank, selling parts of the business to deepen its focus on wealth management and rebuild capital (though that would probably be better served by selling the prime brokerage business, not the asset management arm), acquiescing to an acquirer (Barclays? Deutsche Bank?). Or simply merging with UBS.

Aramco signs $12.4 billion pipeline deal with EIG-led consortium
Saudi oil giant Aramco on Friday entered into a $12.4 billion deal with a consortium investors led by EIG Global Energy Partners that would give the investor group a 49% stake in Aramco’s pipeline assets, the two companies said.
This is the first major deal by Aramco since its listing in late 2019 when the Saudi government sold a minority stake in the firm for $29.4 billion in the world’s biggest initial public offering. The EIG-led group signed a lease and lease-back agreement with Aramco, acquiring the equity stake in Aramco Oil Pipelines Co, a newly formed entity with rights to 25-years of tariff payments for oil transported through Aramco’s crude oil pipeline network, it said in a statement. Aramco will own 51% in the new company. The deal implies a total equity value of about $25 billion for Aramco Oil Pipelines. Aramco will continue to retain title to and operational control of its crude oil pipeline network.
Aramco said last month it was betting on an Asian-led rebound in energy demand this year after it reported a steep slide in net profit for 2020 on Sunday and scaled back its spending plans.

China Fines Alibaba $2.8 Billion in Landmark Antitrust Case
China on Saturday said it was imposing a record $2.8 billion fine on the e-commerce titan Alibaba for monopolistic business practices, the government’s toughest action to date in its campaign to regulate the country’s internet giants more closely.
Beijing’s market watchdog began investigating Alibaba in December for potential antitrust violations including preventing merchants from selling their goods on other shopping platforms. On Saturday, the regulator said its investigation had concluded that Alibaba had hindered competition in online retail in China, affected innovation in the internet economy and harmed consumers’ interests. The fine on Alibaba, one of China’s most valuable private companies, exceeds the $975 million antitrust penalty that the Chinese government imposed on Qualcomm, the American chip giant, in 2015. Even so, it is unlikely to leave a substantial dent on Alibaba’s fortunes. The regulator said the fine represented 4 percent of Alibaba’s domestic sales in 2019. The group reported profits of more than $12 billion in the last three months of 2020 alone.
Alibaba said in a statement that it would accept the penalty “sincerely” and would strengthen its internal systems “to better carry out its social responsibilities.” China started ramping up scrutiny of its tech giants last year. The market regulator proposed updating the country’s antimonopoly law with a new provision for large internet platforms such as Alibaba’s. In November, officials halted the plans of Alibaba’s sister company, the finance-focused Ant Group, to go public and tightened oversight of internet finance.
In December, it opened the antimonopoly investigation into Alibaba — a startling turn in the fortunes of Jack Ma, Alibaba’s co-founder, whom people in China had long held up as an icon of entrepreneurial pluck.

Migrant Families To Stay In Phoenix Hotels Amid Border Crowding
Migrant families will be held at hotels in the Phoenix area in response to a growing number of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, another step in the Biden’s administration rush to set up temporary space. Arizona Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema's office says it was told U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will occupy “several hotels along the southwest border, including in Chandler and Phoenix.” Contractor Endeavors Inc. has beds available at hotels in the Phoenix suburb and the Texas cities of El Paso and Cotulla. As more migrants cross, only about one in three families picked up by the Border Patrol last month was quickly expelled from the U.S.
