"Don't worry, sit down!" Rong Le smiled and invited Dong Gongzi to a seat, and instructed Chen Xihua to serve Dong Gongzi a cup of coffee.
After Dong Gongzi sat down, he said, "Rongsheng, this time I am here to seek a loan from Kyushu Bank Group!"
OOCL's situation is getting worse and worse every year, and the strength of the Dong family alone is no longer enough to survive this difficulty, so Dong Gongzi has no choice but to seek Rongle in the hope of getting a credit loan from Kyushu Bank Group to help OOCL tide over this difficult time!
Rong Le asked, "How is the situation at OOCL now?"
Dong Gongzi smiled bitterly and said: "Now that the global shipping industry is in a recession, OOCL is on the verge of an abyss! Last year, OOCL lost 970 million Hong Kong dollars, and this year will be even more serious.
Rong Le nodded and said, "I don't know how much Dong Gongzi is going to borrow this time?"
Dong Gongzi hurriedly said: "3.8 billion Hong Kong dollars!"
At this time, Chen Xihua brought Dong Gongzi's coffee, "Thank you, Miss Chen!"
Chen Xihua, as Rongle's exclusive secretary, although his position is not high, is after all the person around Rongle, and now he has his own reputation in Xiangjiang, with the improvement of Rongle's status, all businessmen are also very polite when they see Chen Xihua.
"Dong Gongzi is polite!" Chen Xihua smiled faintly, and then left Rong Le's office directly, it was obvious that Dong Gongzi had something to ask Rong Le, so she naturally didn't want to stay in the office anymore.
Rong Le fell into thought, and after a long time, he said: "Dong Gongzi, if this HK$3.8 billion loan is given to OOCL, then OOCL will be working for Kyushu Bank Group in the future, and the annual interest will be enough to swallow up most of OOCL's gross operating profit, will it be possible for OOCL to get out of the current predicament at that time?"
Dong Gongzi smiled bitterly, he naturally knew more about OOCL's situation than Rong Le, if he got the 3.8 billion Hong Kong dollar loan, then at least 80% of OOCL's operating gross profit would need to be paid to Kyushu Bank Group in the next few years.
In fact, before seeing Rongle establish Kyushu Bank Group, Dong Gongzi's ideal loan bank was HSBC, but now with Kyushu Bank Group, he is more inclined to take out loans in Kyushu Bank Group, as he told his younger brother, with the support of Kyushu Bank Group, he can also rely on Rongle's relationship to carry out some business in China.
"I naturally know this, but there is no way to do all this, if we don't get this loan, OOCL will probably not be able to survive now, and our top priority for OOCL now is to survive this difficult situation!"
Rong Le nodded, expressing his understanding, if it was not for the injection of large sums of money, OOCL would probably be killed by the huge pit left by Dong Chuanwang.
"Dong Gongzi, I don't think HK$3.8 billion can completely turn around OOCL's predicament, right?"
Dong Gongzi: "Rongsheng still sees it thoroughly, and now OOCL has a lot of money to recover, and although HK$3.8 billion is very important to OOCL, if we want to completely reverse OOCL's predicament, it still depends on when the depression of the world shipping industry will end, and a series of debt restructuring within the group will be able to completely bring OOCL out of the predicament!"
Dong Gongzi did not intend to hide these things from Rongle, in fact, he couldn't hide them, and as one of the companies that attracted the most attention from Xiangjiang now, OOCL couldn't hide these problems from anyone at all.
"Has Dong Gongzi ever thought about introducing foreign capital?" Rong Le asked.
Dong Gongzi's eyes lit up, looked at Rong Le, and asked, "Is Rong Sheng ready to join the shareholder overseas?"
With the current power of Rongle, if it can join the shareholders overseas, then it will be too helpful to OOCL, and Rongle's financial resources are the strongest backing of OOCL.
However, to Dong Gongzi's disappointment, Rong Le shook his head.
"To be honest, Rong has no plans to enter the shipping industry yet, but I think there are some aspects that will be very interesting to OOCL!" Rong Le laughs.
Dong Gongzi looked at Rong Le and didn't understand what Rong Le meant, at this time, in addition to Rong Le's strength, who else would join the shareholder overseas?
Facing Dong Gongzi's suspicious gaze, Rong Le pointed to the north, and then said with a smile: "I don't know what Dong Gongzi thinks of Huaxia?"
Dong Gongzi's heart throbbed, looking at Rong Le's movements, listening to Rong Le's words, Dong Gongzi naturally knew what Rong Le meant.
When he told his younger brother that he followed Rongle to invest in Dongying, he once said that he hoped to get domestic support through Rongle, and now Rongle has taken the initiative to propose it.
"If we can get domestic support, it will naturally be a very perfect plan for OOCL, but Rongsheng, you should know that the current situation of OOCL, and our Dong family is not very familiar with China, I don't know if it will be in China?"
"Dong Gongzi can rest assured about this, I can invite Mr. Huo, the two of us will be intermediaries for Dong Gongzi, I think the country should be very welcoming to patriotic businessmen like Dong Gongzi!" Rong Le said with a smile.
"If that's the case, I'm so grateful to Rongsheng, but the equity purchase involved in this is not fundamentally solved for OOCL." If it is just a simple introduction of Chinese capital, unless all Chinese capital acquires OOCL, as for OOCL's debts, it will naturally be borne by the Chinese group, but in that case, the Dong family will completely lose OOCL, which Dong Gongzi naturally has to take into account, and this point is also unacceptable to Dong Gongzi, although then the Dong family will survive this difficulty, but Dong Gongzi is not like losing his father's founded.
He could accept a stake in Huaxia, but he could not accept OOCL's sale in his own hands.
Rong Le smiled and said, "We at Kyushu Bank Group can make a credit loan of HK$3.8 billion for OOCL, and then add the addition of Chinese groups, I think we can help OOCL survive this difficulty." โ
Dong Gongzi couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you so much Rongsheng!"
Rong Le shook his head and said, "Don't worry about Dong Gongzi, thank you, some words will be good in the front, although there is a loan from Kyushu Bank Group and the addition of Chinese capital, but OOCL's hole is too big, as Dong Gongzi said, if OOCL does not restructure its debts for a long time, it will still be difficult to return." โ
Dong Gongzi asked, "What does Rongsheng mean?"
Rong Le continued to laugh: " In the next few years, Dong Gongzi may be very tired, and I need Dong Gongzi to pay great hardship to complete this plan, I think that in the future, after the Chinese group becomes a shareholder overseas, the work of OOCL will still be presided over by Dong Gongzi, but the Dong family will use OOCL's debts as equity capital, that is to say, in the next few years, Dong Gongzi, your Dong family will be demoted from the boss to the staff, and Kyushu Bank Group, as the largest debt company of OOCL, will serve as the boss of OOCL, of course, this is only nominal, in the future, OOCL can repurchase the equity of OOCL at any time in Dong Gongzi's operation, and I think this process will take at least 5-6 years๏ผโ
After listening to Rong Le's words, Dong Gongzi was silent for a long time, it was obvious that the change of identity would make Dong Gongzi feel a little uncomfortable, but Dong Gongzi knew that the plan proposed by Rong Le was the best plan for OOCL.
"Rongsheng, aren't you afraid, will our Dong family give up OOCL directly?"
Rong Le: "I believe in Dong Gongzi's feelings for OOCL, and I also believe in Dong Gongzi's ability!"
In fact, in another time and space, Dong Gongzi did just that, first getting a credit loan of HK$3.8 billion from HSBC this year, then introducing a Chinese-funded group through Huo Tsar next year, and finally announcing a long-term debt restructuring plan, and finally Dong Gongzi gradually brought OOCL out of the predicament with his indomitable will.
Rongle has no interest in politics, but it does not mean that Rongle does not want the first boss of Xiangjiang in the future to be a person who is good friends with him, so for Dong Gongzi's investment, even if he does not get the equity of OOCL, Rongle believes that the loan of 3.8 billion Hong Kong dollars is very worthwhile.
Dong Gongzi finally nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome Rongsheng!"
"Dong Gongzi is polite, are we all friends, friends should help each other!" Rong Le said with a smile.
Then Dong Gongzi got up and said goodbye to Rong Le, although Dong Gongzi recognized this matter very much, but he also had to go back to inform his family.
After Dong Gongzi left, Rong Le instructed Chen Xihua to call Zheng Guoqu, CEO of Dynasty Media Group, Shi Nansheng, vice president, Zhang Junjia, general manager of Dynasty Cinemas, Huo Jianning, CEO of Panda Retail Group, Gao Xianheng, vice president, Chen Qing, general manager of Panda convenience store, Jiang Feng, general manager of Panda supermarket chain, Situ Jin, general manager of Panda Mall, and Huang Yunzhe, general manager of Panda Department Store, to his office.
Rongle earned a large amount of cash in Dongying, and brought back some of it for the expansion of its two major groups.
Half an hour later, everyone came to the conference room of Rong's Investment.
"The head office will inject 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars into Dynasty Media to acquire and expand the cinema chain throughout Southeast Asia, and I will make Dynasty Cinema Line the largest cinema company in Southeast Asia within a year!"
For the expansion of the Dynasty Cinema Line, Zheng Guoqu and others had already known about Rongle's plan, but they didn't expect Rongle to be so generous, taking out 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars at one time, and directly making the Dynasty Cinema Line the largest cinema company in Southeast Asia.
"Do you have confidence?" Rong Le asked, looking at the three of them.
Zheng Guoqu immediately said: "Chairman, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task!"
"Very good! Make a specific plan when you go back, and in a week, I want to see the specific plan!" Rong Le commanded.
"Understood!"
Then Rong Le looked at the people of Panda Retail Group and said: "The same is true of Panda Group, I have discussed with other directors, the board of directors will inject 4 billion Hong Kong dollars into the group, the same requirement, I want to make Panda Retail Group the largest retail group in Asia, and all the convenience store chains, supermarket chains, and department store chains under the group will be spread throughout Asia to become the largest retail group in Asia!"
Huo Jianning's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, chairman!"
"Very good, in the same week, I want to see the specific plan of Panda Retail Group!" Rong Le nodded.
Then the CEOs of the two groups began to explain their thoughts and concepts to Rongle, and it was not completed until late at night, and the CEOs of the two groups also understood Rongle's intentions.
With Rong Le's order, the two major groups under Rong's Investment began to expand frantically, but this is all for later......
As for the Tunan Science and Technology Group, Rong Le met with Yuan Tianfan alone, and also injected 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, a large part of which was injected into the scientific research room to speed up the research and development progress of Tunan Technology Group.
......
Half a month later, OOCL suddenly announced that it had held a press conference.
At the press conference, Mr. Dong announced a series of recent developments in OOCL, including a HK$1.156 billion capital injection by a Chinese group to acquire a half stake in OOCL, a HK$3.8 billion credit facility provided by Kyushu Bank Group to OOCL, and an announcement of OOCL's long-term debt restructuring plan.
At the press conference, all the reporters were shocked by Dong Gongzi's series of plans, no one thought that the Dong family, which was once the most prominent and richest in Xiangjiang, would make such a major decision, and such a plan can be said to be almost all of the Dong family's huge assets have come to naught!
And everyone knows that the Dong family will face a long-term dilemma, after all, from the boss to the staff, such a gap is not acceptable to everyone.
Of course, some of them also paid attention to the Kyushu Bank Group, and everyone did not expect that the Kyushu Bank Group would choose to be a white samurai at this time to support OOCL, and everyone understands that in a series of events announced by OOCL, it can be seen that although Kyushu Bank Group has obtained the remaining shares of OOCL and has become the nominal boss of OOCL, everyone knows that this is nothing more than the support of OOCL by Kyushu Bank Group in a very reasonable way.
After the press conference, Dong Gongzi held a banquet to thank Rong Le and Mr. Huo.
accompanied by Rong Gongzi.
Rong Gongzi is already working in CITIC (Xiangjiang), which is preparing to enter, and this time he also has the credit of Rong Gongzi in the middle.
"Ah Le, it seems that you are very optimistic about Dong Gongzi!" said Tsar Huo.
What Huo Tsar saw was not just business dealings, Rong Le pulled Huo Tsar to personally pull the strings for Dong Gongzi, and Dong Gongzi will personally go to Beijing next year to secretly visit Xiao Lao and others, Rong Le is building momentum for Dong Gongzi.
Rong Le smiled slightly and said, "I always thought that Huo Bo, you are the most optimistic person about Dong Gongzi!"
Tsar Huo laughed, "Let's take it personally!"
Although there are still eleven years before the return of Xiangjiang, everyone has begun to prepare for things after the return of Xiangjiang, and Dong Gongzi is the candidate that Rongle and Huo Tsar are optimistic about at the same time.
