CEFC China Energy (Chinese: 中国华信能源) is a private Chinese conglomerate. With revenue of 220 billion CNY (35 billion USD) in 2014 the company is among the 10 largest private companies in China.[3] In 2014 the company generated revenue mainly from oil and gas (60%) and financial services (25%),[2] but operates also in a wide range of other sectors like transport infrastructure, forestry, asset management, hotel management, warehousing services, real estate development and logistics services.[1] A large portion of CEFC's assets is concentrated in overseas markets.[1] Since 2013 the company has been listed on the Fortune Global 500 list.[4] Most of the company is owned by Shanghai Energy Fund Investment Ltd (SEFI), which is registered under Ye Jianming, the chairman of CEFC.[1]

In May 2015 company acquired a 5% stake in Slovak J&T Finance Group.[5] This increased to 9.9% in September 2015.[6] In September 2015 company acquired multiple assets in the Czech Republic - a majority stake in brewery Pivovary Lobkowicz Group, a 10% stake in airline Travel Service, 60% in football club SK Slavia Prague and real-estate assets in Prague - the building of the former Živnostenská banka at Na příkopě street and Martinický palác at Hradčany.[7] CEFC also bought a stake of between 50 and 90 per cent in Czech online travel agent Invia in March 2016, probably with a view to capitalising on the rapidly increasing numbers of Chinese tourists visiting Prague.[8]
