    Finding things that are well hidden can be very difficult. Finding things that don't exist is impossible.

    Some on here are doing a bloody good job of due diligence. Begs the question who did it before the club got sold to this outfit.

    The penthouse has a better view than those on Regent Street.

    I must admit, aside from seemingly self crafted pieces and things placed into the media... I've not actually found reference to his ownership in 7 days Inn. I've seen 3 or 4 aggregator sites of past and current holdings. He has got or had several investment vehicles, capital funds and holding companies, so its likely all of his holdings have been channelled into those. I had read there were 3 realms of private equity that boosted the company at ridiculous pace over a short term. I think there was a capital raise not long before Lee seemed to sell his share (approx. $320m, but that was overall bid, not his share... not sure what percentage holding through whatever vehicle it may have been). It may have been he had watered down holdings through the numerous IPOs (this is where Paul Conway (while at the firm he was MD of that was associated with oppenheimer) was involved in one the main IPO of 7 days and I suspect this is where their association may have begun).

    I've not searched this... Alex Zheng... was he the other Chinese investor at OGC Nice?

    One thing i've noted on the various websites of these various "investors"... its either de rigeur to have a mapped vertical timeline of events in Chinese companies.... or, they just all happen to favour that style of highlighting history and linear events. I can't say I've seen much like that in the western sphere. So it may be just how its done in China.... or it could be another cosy little coincidence.

    That names been mentioned already on here over the last few weeks if i recall.

    In relation to a bankrupt german league 3 club he owned or was investing in.

    Note. Victoria berlin was the club. 4th division semi pro.

    The aim was to get the club professional and climb the leagues.

    ASU failed to meet its obligations regarding the investment and failed to provide any reasoning.

    Alex Zheng is the CEO.

    I was referring to the fact Chien is often cited as having made his money and being a founder of 7 days, which I found odd if true as no mention of him.
    Also Plateno is a ‘proper’ company so history should be easier to research.

    Edit DWLC:Just seen your other reply

    Id like to know who Li Jian is.

    This person according the Plateno group purchased a champsionship club in december 2017.

    The same person as per their statement:-

    Is not a founder of the Plateno Group
    Was an early investor in the 7 days group however did not found the group or had any participation in the day to day operations.

    Has no equity or business connection to the Plateno Group or 7 Days.

    Basically, this Li Jian made the investment under their own guise and funding and should be contacted directly.

    Its on their twitter feed if you want it in writing..


    NOTE. Only one club transaction in the EFL would appear to complete in or around Dec 2017.

    I wonder whom that could be.

    NOTE. Chien Lees own online profile says he co founded 7 days

    7 days suggests he provided some early day investment.

    Alex Zheng and Zheng Nanyan are definitely the same person, which makes you think Li Jain is ......
    Seems not in common for Chinese businessmen to have alias’s.
    Might explain why it’s so hard to track stuff down.

    I know a Chinese business person in London who adopted a westernised "first" name as he felt it was easier to do business in this country.
