Chapter 923: The Icy Shipping Market
After this topic fell, Fok Yingdong said to the few people present: "The time for Xiangjiang's return to the mainland has been set, and the central government hopes to listen to everyone's opinions on how to develop Xiangjiang in the future.
This time, entrusted by him, he invited everyone to go to the capital next month, and a number of central leaders will hold talks with you. ”
Everyone attaches great importance to the mainland market, and Xiangjiang, as the place where everyone started, is also the foundation, and they naturally hope that the development of Xiangjiang will get better and better, so for this invitation, Lee Shau Kee and Cheng Yutong and others are happy to agree.
It's just that Li Guangyu is a little difficult here, he plans to fly directly to Paris on the 28th, preparing to buy the bottom in Western Europe, this opportunity is not easy, in the past few years, the wave of privatization in Western Europe has been very violent, and there is no such store in this village.
At present, the market value of many good companies is still very low, which is very suitable for Li Guangyu's sale, and Li Guangyu may have to pay billions more dollars in the next few years.
Li Guangyu said: "Huo Sheng, accepting the invitation of the new French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, I will inspect the French market on the 28th of this month, I don't know when I will go to the capital this time?"
Fok Yingdong is still very familiar with some things about the Li consortium, over the past year or so, the power of the political research office of the Li consortium has expanded very rapidly, this time French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac was elected, and the Li consortium has also made a lot of efforts in the back, not to mention the election financial support, and its companies are also canvassing for it.
The Lee Consortium is no longer the business group that did not care about political affairs, and there are members of the Political Research Office of the Lee Consortium in many countries.
Fortunately, the Li consortium only carried out some more reasonable operations in these capitalist countries, and did not maliciously subvert the regimes in some regions, otherwise the Li consortium would definitely be an extremely dangerous consortium.
Now the Lee consortium is becoming more and more like the American consortium and the Japanese consortium, and the Lee consortium is in Xiangjiang, if it is in some capitalist countries, perhaps that country will be controlled by the Lee consortium like the United States, Japan, and South Korea.
Fok Yingdong knows that the development of the consortium will eventually lead to this road, whether it is to compete for the market, or to be able to control the initiative, they will want to control it in their own hands, so that they can rest assured.
Since the US government deliberately targeted the Lee consortium, the style of the Lee consortium has completely changed, and Fok Ying-tung does not know whether this change is good or bad, as long as Lee Guangyu does not violate the interests of the motherland, he will not pay it back, and he is not qualified to judge Lee Guangyu.
Fok Yingdong said: "Guangyu, we are planning for April 21, if you don't plan to stay in Western Europe for a long time, you should be able to attend. ”
Li Guangyu is expected to stay in Western Europe for half a month this time, and there is plenty of time, except for the 84 military parade to the capital, he has not been to the capital at any other time, and this time he is just going to take a good look at the changes in the capital in recent years.
After Huo Yingdong's own affairs were completed, he did not continue to be the protagonist, but listened to the discussion of these Xiangjiang business elites on the sidelines.
Bao Yugang said, "Wen Jin, the current cold winter of shipping is still continuing, I don't know when it will be the end, I don't know what you Wanbang Shipping is planning, the Dong family is in a lot of difficulties at present, and I hope you can take care of the Dong family's kid for the sake of Haoyun's relationship." ”
At present, global shipping has fallen into a freezing point, and many shipping companies around the world have declared bankruptcy, including many regional and even world-renowned enterprises.
The Dong family expanded a lot when they were all reducing the size of their fleet, so that now it is difficult to develop.
As a competitor and old friend for many years, Bao Yugang couldn't bear to see the foundation created by Dong Haoyun before his death disappear like this, and he hoped that everyone could contribute a little bit to help the Dong family get through this difficulty.
Cao Wenjin said: "Yugang, shipping is estimated to have not improved in recent years, I just hope that the 90s can pick up, at present, there are not many Wanbang shipping fleets, but barely able to operate." The Dong family can only break their wrists now, and the huge fleet in their hands will only be a drag, and the annual maintenance cost alone is a huge number. ”
Cao Wenjin also helped the Dong family, but he was powerless, and at this time, his own fleet could only barely feed, where could he still have the ability to take care of the Dong family's fleet.
Bao Yugang first found the wrong person for this matter, and now only Li Guangyu can give some help here, the Hengyu supermarket under the Li consortium continues to expand, and the demand for logistics continues to increase, and it is still possible to take some business to the Dong family's Oriental Shipping Group.
Although Li Guangyu is his son-in-law, he is not good at directly making decisions for Li Guangyu, and Cao Wenjin can only say that he can't help.
And this time not only the Dong family is facing huge difficulties, but the same is true of the Zhao family, and Huaguang Shipping is also facing huge pressure.
Huo Yingdong opened his mouth and said: "As for the sudden departure of Haoyun, the Dong family has been working very hard to maintain the industry of the Oriental Shipping Group, we are all developing in Xiangjiang, and we are both Chinese families, most of you are the elders of their children, if you have the ability, I hope you can lend a helping hand." ”
Most of the people here are real estate groups, and they don't have this need at all, even if they have the heart and the power.
Feng Jingyao said: "Yingdong, you also know that our main business is basically real estate and finance, we are not good at helping other places, we can still support it in terms of funds, if the Dong family has needs, our Xiangjiang Bank can provide a loan of 100 million US dollars, in order to relieve the pressure on the Dong family." ”
Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang didn't expect such a big surprise, a loan of 100 million US dollars is enough for Oriental Shipping Group to solve a lot of difficulties.
At this time, the Bank of Hong Kong was able to lend 100 million US dollars to Oriental Shipping, which is a very big favor.
Bao Yugang said: "Jingyao, thank you very much for your support, I believe that a few children of the Dong family will remember the kindness of you and several of them, and the Dong family industry will strengthen cooperation with you Xiangjiang Bank in the future." ”
Feng Jingyao responded: "Our Xiangjiang Chinese-funded family has always worked together, and this time the Dong family is in difficulty, we have the ability to help, so we naturally have to help." ”
Zhao Congyan listened to the Xiangjiang Bank give such a large loan to the Dong family, and his heart was extremely envious, the pressure on his Zhao family was also not small, and he also regretted his original choice, if he had learned from Wanbang, Universal, and Wheelock to reduce the scale of several major shipping companies earlier, he would not have faced such a dilemma now.
Seeing Zhao Congyan's expression, Li Guangyu knew his inner thoughts, and said to him: "Uncle Zhao, I know that your Huaguang Shipping is also in difficulty at present, and our Tianyu Bank is willing to give you a loan of 100 million US dollars to help Huaguang Shipping survive this crisis." ”
Zhao Congyan said excitedly: "Guangyu, thank you so much, with your support, I don't need to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, I am currently dealing with the ships in my hands at a low price, but the whole market is not very good at present, and it will be difficult to sell for a while." ”
