A few more details about RECON group!!
Found this article on another forum...
Sounds quite impressive doesn't it? A lot of people try to downplay Xia but people needs to remember Recon are actually the owners!!..it's not just about Xia. And when you look at the fields they are in, the amount of powerful people they deal with and the fact that they hold a 40% share in a massive industry it really does make me wonder just how far these guys can take us?!!...I think they are way bigger than people realise tbh.
LinkAbout Recon Group
Recon Group is a multinational conglomerate operating in six core business sectors and has taken advantage of China’s economic growth over the last two decades as the Government has carried out a programme of moving 500 million people from rural to urban living. Recon Group has been at the forefront of this giant urbanisation development and holds an estimated 40% market share in the Smart City sector.
The six main business divisions include IT Infrastructure and Services for Smart Cities, Health & Agriculture, New Energy & Smart Transportation, Civic Engineering & Design, Recon Capital including insurance & financial services and Recon Culture including Sports, Films, Leisure & Tourism. Recon Group’s core philosophy is to create an economic ecosystem based on implementing new technologies, resources and culture worldwide.
Recon Group originally was found in USA in 1963 and was regenerated by its current Chairman, Tony Jiantong Xia. Dr. Xia studied at Harvard and MIT obtained his doctoral degree in urban planning and informatics. He was amongst the initial 25 highly rated oversea elites out of the special 1,000 People Plan and appointed as the national special expert for urban planning and smart city in China.
Tony Xia and his team have also met with Home Minister Mr. Kiren Rijiju, Industry Minister Mr. Babull Supriyo, Foreign Affairs Minister General V.K. Singh and with Mr. Naresh Kumar, the Chairman of New Delhi Municipal Council and other senior administrators to discuss bringing its expertise to assist in the 100 Smart Cities plans of India.
Recon Group’s companies have been responsible for over 400 smart cities in China and are the leading organization for all aspects of smart cities from the planning and design stage right through implementation and the subsequent management including the most advanced software and technology.
Recon Group is also investigating opportunities in India for its other businesses including Lotus Health, the largest condiments and health food company publicly listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

"Smart Cities, an initiative of the national government, is another growth area for the tech & digital market over the next few years. By the year 2030, China will reach an urbanisation rate of 65% and will have 221 cities with a population greater than one million. Information technology is seen as playing a key role in helping to create the modern, energy efficient cities that are required to make this trend sustainable. The government has committed to investing £152bn in Smart City projects in China, with opportunities for foreign collaboration across a range of areas; including smart grid, sensors and monitoring, big data, cloud computing, e-Health, e-government, and so on"

WHO IS DR TONY XIA?
It is said that Dr. X and his Recon group have 40% mared share of the Smart City business sector in China. I found out that this sector is one of the things Chinese are "crazy" about and government is investing 152 billion £ if Recon has 40% marked share in this sector, this would make our good dr. X as one of the richest men on the planet. Wouldn`t it?"Smart Cities, an initiative of the national government, is another growth area for the tech & digital market over the next few years.

Wasn't that original article out when he first took over? I known I've read it before now, but yes it's a huge thing and I believe the good doctor really does have a huge amount of wealth at his fingertips.

That article stems from their recent visit to India to set-up Villa academies and seemingly do business with the India government in other areas too. The "40%" thing is the first time I've heard about it tbh. What's clear is Recon have big ties to the Chinese government hence Xia employing the presidents cousin and also having relationships with several government officials.

The academy already existed - it will just be branded or endorsed by Aston Villa. Difficult to to say what the impact of this will be. I think it is more to do with promoting the good name 'Aston Villa' rather than us getting youth players from India. Smart move by Xia a lot of advertising for what I imagine would be very little outlay. I reckon (or should I say recon !) Xia will be unveiling a whole string of initiatives like this. - You can see the difference between him and Lerner - Xia is very innovative and will have lots of ideas about wealth generation- Lerner didn't have a clue how to make money from the Aston Villa brand.

LOL yeah saw that silly article . For a start the Wolves guy is worth 5.4 billion DOLLARS, not pounds. Secondly Xia said he'd put 600m pounds in a bank to deal with all things Villa!!...so they are saying the man has put over half his net-worth into Villa? Yeah ok you silly dingle rag!! .
The fact that no-one has a clue how much Xia is worth actually works in our favour imo. We all saw the article about how powerful Recon is!!..that's all the assurances we need right now. People outside the club can believe what they want...all it does is keep transfer prices lower for us.

Re: A few more details about RECON group!!
All Subjective, and very early days, but in order I would order the new owners as follows
1st.The Wolves people - The owner has been quoted at approx £2bn - and they seem to spending already.
2nd. Dr Tony Xia - I reckon he is the poorest of the 3 in terms of net worth. But he has a flair for making money and seems full of ideas. He's put good people in place - and doesn't seem like he will stand much messing about.
3rd - WBA - Very early days - but they seem to have drawn the short straw here. IMO Peace had albion functioning at there very limit - the absolute best albion can hope for is top 10. The new guys have said they are going to run the club on the same lines, which in itself is no easy task and also begs the question why are they here ? - TV money perhaps.

Re: A few more details about RECON group!!
Just as long as they're not all in cahoots to eventually merge all three clubs into one massive one called the Dingleberry Albion Villa, wearing claret and oange stripes and ground sharing somewhere, I couldn't really give a toss about the other two.
They may well call us the historians but fact of the matter is that history has made us a famous name all over the world. Xia can trade on that. Good luck to the others spreading the word of Wolverhampton and West Bromwich.
You could argue that Man City did it but I guarantee you that they got plenty of mileage from having the word "Manchester" in the name.

The Albion one's wealth appears to be accurate though. Xia's on the other hand isn't known at all which is why it's stupid to suggest he has the least wealth of the lot. I'd also like to add that the rhetoric coming from the three of them should give an indication of the ambitions of them all.
Albion= "We won't throw money away recklessly and want to continue the same policy that Peace had".
Wolves= "We will build slowly and hope to get promotion and stay there".
Villa= "We want to become the best supported team in China, win the champions league within ten years and become one of the top three teams in the world".
Now I know talk is easier than actions. But like I said elsewhere Xia could have easily spouted the same lines as his compatriots down the road. But no, he's been open and brave with his words, words he echoed once more on twitter just the other day.

Sorry to ruin the mood, but the estimated worth of a company, it's revenue or what, is not the same as having high net worth wealth. Economics does not work that way

I think when you get a new owner the first question is 'how much money does he have ?' - the presumption being that that will drive how many millions he can bankroll the club by. The latest trend however seems to be that clubs are taken over by businesses - which makes the whole question more complicated. Do the profits of those companies all get channelled into funds for for players ? - what would the shareholders of such companies think about that ?
I am pretty sure Tony's plan is to make Aston Villa a big deal in emerging markets - that revenue combined with premiership TV money could easily make us top six premiership club - no doubt.

The intriguing part for me is their links to the Chinese government though .
What is clear is Recon are a very big deal and are expanding all over the place in different markets...the bigger they become the better for us I'd say.
