Xiangjiang, Cultural Oriental Hotel:

When Xu Zhi and Yuan Tianfan arrived at the reception room, Bao Fuda and Chen Songqing had already arrived.

"Xu Sheng, Yuan Sheng, please take a seat. Chen Songqing and Bao Fuda both stood up and greeted with a polite smile.

The Cultural Oriental Hotel is a hotel owned by Hongkong Land, and Bao Fuda and Chen Songqing specially arranged a luxurious banquet for Xu Zhi and his wife.

"Thank you. After Xu Zhi sat down, he replied with a smile.

Bao Fuda waved to the waiter, and said to Xu Zhi with a smile: "I heard that Xu Sheng likes Australian lobster very much, so I specially arranged for someone to make this one, Xu Sheng can taste it, and give our hotel chef a little advice." ”

"Thank you, I've heard that the chefs at the Cultural Oriental Hotel are first-class in the entire Xiangjiang, and today it seems that I have a good fortune!" Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Bao Fuda said: "If Xu Sheng is interested, he can come here every day to enjoy delicious food, and our hotel is very welcome." ”

"Haha, okay, as long as the taste is good, our company's annual meeting was held here this year. Xu Zhi smiled and said casually.

"Culture Oriental Hotel will go all out to provide the best quality service to its customers. Bao Fuda nodded and smiled.

Heung Kong's companies, like the mainland in later generations, have the habit of having dinner together to hold annual meetings before the Chinese New Year, but several companies such as Midea, Evergrande, Hutchison and HK Electric are too large for everyone to have a dinner together, and the same is true for other large companies in Heungjiang.

The normal practice is that the company pays for it, and each department or branch decides the time to have a separate dinner, but the head office will arrange for middle and senior leaders to hold a large-scale annual meeting, because the level is higher, it will inevitably choose a large hotel, and the dining standard will be much higher, which is naturally the best customer group of a large hotel.

If it was in previous years, close to the Spring Festival, the hotel would not worry about no one coming to deliver money, but now in the current economic situation, how many company bosses are trembling, for fear that the cash flow will dry up, and the employees are also worried about being fired at this time.

Therefore, this year's major hotels in Xiangjiang, compared with previous years, business is much worse, whether it is a company dinner or a personal family gathering, many people will avoid expensive venues, and the Cultural Oriental Hotel has naturally suffered a lot of impact.

After chatting a few words of gossip, Chen Songqing stood up, poured a cup of tea for Xu Zhi, and said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, I really envy several of your companies, Midea's electronic products are conquering overseas cities, I heard that recently your comic company's products are also selling well in Japan, recently, the real estate market in Xiangjiang is not stable, our real estate companies are miserable, Xu Sheng, you are sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, let us envy." ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The crisis is a crisis, the crisis is organic, the real estate market is a relatively cyclical industry, and there will always be peaks and valleys.

Sell more buildings at peak times, and sell more land at low peaks, as long as you get through it, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money!"

"It seems that Xu Shengsheng has been selling a large number of Hutchison's land properties in the past few years, and he has already predicted this crisis. Chen Songqing nodded and asked.

Xu Zhidao: "It's not a prediction, it's just an intuition, I don't know when the real estate downturn will come, it's just that I'm willing to retreat, I should make a move, and I won't make this last penny." ”

The real estate market in Xiangjiang has given birth to countless elites, who have been in business for decades, and their vision can be said to be the most cutting-edge.

Housing prices in Xiangjiang have reached an unbearable level for the public, and these real estate giants have long been able to see the problem from this, but the high-speed train is already running too fast to stop.

Stop, if there is no low ebb in the real estate market, then the company will be eliminated by the entire market because of the temporary brakes, this kind of loss is so great that no ambitious businessman can accept this outcome.

After Chen Songqing touted it, he continued: "At present, the real estate market in Xiangjiang has fallen into a downturn, and all real estate companies have encountered financial difficulties.

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "The Bank of East Asia is not in a hurry to repay the loan in advance from Hongkong Land and Jianing, but only asks for additional collateral. ”

Bao Fuda continued: "The real estate market in Hong Kong has fallen a lot now, and all the properties have fallen by at least 20% on the books Xu Sheng, Xiangjiang has also had many real estate crises in recent decades, but on the whole, land prices and housing prices have been rising, as long as we survive this period, the properties and stocks we have mortgaged will sooner or later return to the original price or even higher, so we hope that BEA can continue to maintain cooperation with Hongkong Land and Jianing Group during this time. ”

"You're right, I'm really confident in the property in Xiangjiang, but it's not sure if it's a stock. Xu Zhi smiled and shook his head and said, "The collateral of some of your loans in the Bank of East Asia is your own stocks, which I don't worry. ”

Bao Fuda frowned and said, "What does Xu Sheng mean?"

Xu Zhi said: "Either Hongkong Land or Jianing will increase the mortgage on the property, or the Bank of East Asia will stop the loan for the third phase of Jianing Tower. ”

Bao Fuda and Chen Songqing both frowned after hearing this, they couldn't agree to either of these two choices.

Increasing the collateral seems simple, with the current scale of Hongkong Land and Jianing, even if it encounters the current real estate crisis, it is not a problem to take out a piece of property and re-mortgage, but there are two things, once other banks know about it, then they will also make similar requests, so Hongkong Land cannot withstand the pressure of this scale.

If BEA cuts off the third phase of the development of the Jianing Tower, it will inevitably cause external investors and financial institutions to worry about the operating conditions of Hongkong Land and Jianing, which will also cause a series of problems, not to mention that the Jianing Building itself is trapped with billions of funds from the two major companies, and the sooner the project is completed, the sooner the funds can be repatriated to protect the company's other projects.

Xu Zhi leisurely drank two small sips of tea, he was not in a hurry about this matter.

After waiting for a moment, Chen Songqing asked: "Xu Sheng, let's open the skylight and say something bright, what is it necessary to stop this matter." ”

Xu Zhi smiled, looked at the two of them and said: "That's it, I have another way here, since both companies have financial difficulties, and the Bank of East Asia has its own operating rules, it is inconvenient for me to interfere too much, but I can provide some help to acquire several assets of the two companies, so that the two of them will have enough cash in their hands, which can be described as a two-way solution, what do you think?"
