Ryan Pan, a manager with Haidilao Hot Pot in Vancouver confirmed that over 60 surveillance cameras have been installed in the restaurant at the request of the Haidilao corporation, as part of the social credit system in China. He said that the Vancouver location has 30 tables with two cameras assigned to each table.

When asked specifically why Haidilao required so many cameras to monitor staff and patrons, Ryan Pan said that the cameras were installed to “punish” staff if they didn’t adhere to corporate standards and to “people track”. Pan also said that the video is sent back to China but declined to say why this was, other than to say the reason for this was “secret.”

Son of Haidilao co-founder buys $42m property

The family of Singapore's richest billionaire, the co-founder of Sichuan hotpot chain Haidilao, is buying a freehold good class bungalow (GCB) in Gallop Road at the highest price per sq ft (psf) for the area.

According to documents seen by The Straits Times, the option to purchase the 21,649 sq ft bungalow, located a stone's throw from the Singapore Botanic Gardens, was granted to Mr Zhang Hanzhi at $42 million on Dec 22.

This works out to $1,940 psf, which analysts say is the highest price psf paid for a GCB in that area.

Mr Zhang Hanzhi is the son of Mr Zhang Yong, the chairman of Haidilao International Holding, which went public in Hong Kong in September 2018.

Mr Zhang Yong, a naturalised Singapore citizen, topped Forbes' Singapore's Richest list last year for the second straight year.

He has a combined net worth of US$19 billion (S$25.02 billion) with his wife Shu Ping, co-founder and director of Haidilao. She made the Forbes' list last year as well.

The Gallop Road property is located next to Mr Zhang Yong's existing bungalow, which was purchased at $1,700 psf or $27 million in 2016.

Dubbed The Winged House, the 15,884 sq ft freehold bungalow was designed by K2LD Architects in the shape of two wings.

Ms Carin Puah, senior director (capital markets) of real estate agency JLL Singapore, said $1,940 psf was a record price for the Gallop Road area last year.

She added: "They are paying for the privacy of the location as both bungalows are located in a cul de sac."

But Ms Puah also noted there were at least three GCB transactions in other areas that were done at $2,000 psf and above last year.

Recent transactions within the GCB areas include a Cluny Hill bungalow, which was transacted at $38.6 million or $2,315 psf.

A GCB in Chatsworth Park was transacted last month at $44 million, which translates to $2,082 psf based on land area, and a bungalow in Lermit Road was sold for $34.75 million or $2,000 psf.

"There's market talk that the family were looking for a bigger plot GCB, but supply is limited... Most GCB buyers like to buy the 21,000 sq ft and larger plots, as you can build up to 17,000 sq ft," Mr Samuel Eyo, managing director of Lighthouse Property Consultants, said in reference to Mr Zhang Yong and his family.

Bungalows in the 39 gazetted GCB areas are the most prestigious form of landed housing in Singapore, with strict planning conditions stipulated by the Urban Redevelopment Authority to preserve their exclusivity and low-rise character.

Market watchers say bungalow activity and sentiment have improved as some industries - particularly those in e-commerce and technology - have done well amid the pandemic, and as more foreigners are setting up family offices here, which bodes well for GCB demand.

According to Bloomberg, Ms Shu Ping, the sole shareholder and director of Sunrise Capital Management, has opened a family office in Singapore to help manage her wealth.

Family offices are businesses created to run the finances of the world's super rich, providing discretion and personalised services beyond those offered by private banks.

An Australian journalist who worked as an anchor for Chinese state television has been formally arrested for "illegally supplying state secrets overseas", six months after she was detained in China without explanation, Canberra said on Monday (Feb 8).

Australia's foreign minister Marise Payne said Chinese authorities informed her that Cheng Lei was formally arrested on Feb 5, after disappearing from public view last August.

"Chinese authorities have advised that Ms Cheng was arrested on suspicion of illegally supplying state secrets overseas," Payne said in a statement.
