In any case, there is a huge gap between the status of a “student” and a huge sum of $150 million, which is a complete mess for both Chinese and Canadians. For a while, all kinds of guesses came out around the mysterious foreign student.
While public opinion is focused on “who is Zhou Tianyu” and “where does his or her money come from”, it intentionally or unintentionally ignores a figure who plays an important role in this case.
This is Peter Brown, the seller of the luxury house. Brown made a lot of money when he soared ten-fold from C $2.5 million to 31.1 million.
Many local Chinese in Vancouver are also worried that the “luxury property incident” will not only stimulate local “hatred of the rich (hate China)”, but also push up the local property tax. Consciously or unconsciously, they overlook the fact that it is precisely the local policy system in Vancouver that gives the green light for Chinese students to buy luxury homes. Coupled with the “local power” such as Brown, behind the “luxury property incident” is not just the Chinese overseas “explosive buying”.
“the question has gone up; when it comes to Brown, it’s just a hasty remark. It is said that Brown has three main identities: first, he is the founder of Canaccord Genuity Investment Company; second, he is a famous philanthropist; and third, he is now honorary chairman of the Vancouver Police Foundation (Vancouver Police Foundation).
Let’s start with this Canaccord Genuity. According to the Observer Network, Canaccord Genuity is actually the largest investment bank in Canada, mainly engaged in venture capital and providing financing services related to natural resources. In 2015, the investment bank managed 33.3 billion Canadian dollars ($25.8 billion) in assets worldwide and generated operating revenue of 257 million Canadian dollars ($199 million), according to Canaccord Genuity’s official website.
In fact, the official name of Brown’s “charity” is Fraser College. As soon as you hear the name, it sounds more like a think-tank than a charity. Like the new Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, Brown himself is a liberal, while many of the research projects led by Fraser College are precisely related to issues such as “economic freedom” and “tax cuts”.
In addition, some of Fraser’s other projects involve mining and oil, which coincides with Canaccord Genuity’s focus on investment.
Finally, let’s take a look at what kind of title is the honorary chairman of the Vancouver Police Foundation.
In fact, needless to say, take a closer look at the composition of the management of the foundation, things will be clear at a glance. In addition to Brown as “honorary chairman”, there are also powerful figures such as Vancouver Mayor Robertson and Police Chief Palmer in the management list.
