The company raised $206 million through a corporate bond offering earlier this year. The rich pickings in Hong Kong are attracting interest from outside of China as well. The controversial Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, who controls the aluminum maker UC Rusal, has applied for a listing on the exchange while the Australian billionaire Clive Palmer could raise as much as $3 billion through an IPO of his company Resourcehouse. Nevertheless, signs have begun to emerge that Hong Kong's investors were growing weary of all the IPOs. Xu Jiayin, the chairman of Evergrande Real Estate became the richest man in China with a net worth of more than $6 billion after his company's stock surged 34.3% on its debut last Thursday. Yet, Xu said earlier that he was "heartbroken" because Evergrande had to sell its shares at the low end of its indicative price range.
