At present, some of the key real estate developers sued by Shenzhen Zhongyuan have exploded and are undergoing debt restructuring. Especially for China Evergrande, which is already insolvent, even if it wins the lawsuit, it is uncertain when it will ultimately receive the commission.

Specifically, whether the commission can be recovered is mainly related to the financial payment system of the developer/agent.

"The industry is facing difficulties, and there are no winners in the entire chain." Industry insiders say that many suppliers, big and small, who have advanced commissions, have already gone bankrupt in the entire real estate industry chain.

The board of directors of Zhongyuan Group has decided to establish a major project commission follow-up task force from today, responsible for the follow-up commission work.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
