The four conglomerates originated in different sectors, but their underlying
business model is the same: cultivate powerful allies in the Communist Party; use those relationships to win regulatory and property
concessions; gather investment from friends, family and other proxies of party elites into a murky, unregulated private
holding company; borrow heavily from state - owed banks and other sources to finance prodigious growth plans; invest as aggressively as possible in stock and property overseas as a hedge against slower growth in China and the risk of a weaker Chinese currency.

concessions, humans are still a necessary component of their
business model.
