571 Split HK Electric

I know that it is one thing for OOCL to be able to come back to life in the future, but it still needs a series of documents, otherwise such a large investment and loan, there is no such document, it would be outrageous, although Hisense Bank is its own wholly-owned bank, but any loan still needs to go through risk assessment, Huo Jianning and other teams also have their own rules.

"That's no problem, I'll send the relevant materials to your house." Dong Jiancheng said that in order to persuade the creditor banks over the years, he does not know how much information he has prepared, and now that the global economy is picking up, the overall market trend may gradually improve, which is still beneficial to them.

"Just send it to the headquarters of Hisense Bank, and then you can talk about this cooperation with Huo Jianning of Hisense." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

I promised to give a loan of 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the interest is normal, but many details involved still need to be discussed by Huo Jianning and others, such as the payment cycle, repayment method, etc., or how to operate the half of the loan that will be locked in the future, etc.

"Okay, thank you Chen Sheng." Dong Jiancheng said that in Hong Kong, there are few people who can have the ability to help OOCL, and Chen Zhiwen is naturally one of them, although he has not reached the most ideal state of cooperation, but such a requirement is itself a dream, who would take too much risk for another company with heavy debts? Even they know that if it weren't for the strong support of the mainland government and the fact that they gave up half of the loan rights this time, the other party would probably not invest.

"No thanks, it's just a normal business transaction." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile, he invested in the Dong family, not shipping, the shipping market, it can't be said that the future will not make money, but the income is far less than other industries, that is, Bao Yugang's global shipping, a discount for him to invest, he is not interested.

After the new century, once shipping giants like Maersk and Middle East countries issue order demand, it will definitely attract global attention, and countries that have enough orders will be hyped up as "hot news", which is really any shipbuilding order that can easily drive tens of thousands of people in the industrial chain.

Of course, after 2020, when the mainland relies on the advantages of the whole industry chain to reduce the cost of shipbuilding to the minimum, the shipping companies have no choice.

"In any case, Chen Sheng's investment is of great help to OOCL and my Dong family." Dong Jiancheng said. The bigger benefit than getting Chen Zhiwen's funds is that Chen Zhiwen has invested in OOCL, which is enough for those banks to seriously consider their debt strategy, and once the debt pressure is reduced, then OOCL can operate normally.

"Then Dong Sheng will find a way to turn OOCL into a profit as soon as possible, which is the greatest reward for our shareholders." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

"Naturally, we gave it our all." Dong Jiancheng nodded and said.

"Well,Okay,It's up to Hisense's progress later,As long as there's no big problem,This matter is settled." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Now that he has intervened and brought additional funds to the Dong family, perhaps OOCL's difficulties will not be so great.

In fact, although the shipping crisis is still continuing, but the further recovery of the global economy and a large number of ships have been dismantled, so it is not as serious as the previous two years, Bao Yugang's global shipping is alive and well, with the current shipping price, even if it loses much, the biggest problem is still the debt, resulting in all the profits are not enough to repay the interest, OOCL is called "working for the bank" by the outside world, and Bao Yugang landed very early, naturally also solved the debt problem a long time ago.

If it weren't for the fact that among Bao Yugang's second-generation sons-in-law, the level of the future in charge of shipping is not good, otherwise it will definitely be more cost-effective to invest in global shipping, and it may also become the Maersk of Asia. It's a pity that history has no ifs, and the shipping empire that Bao Yugang worked hard to build all his life eventually declined.

"Okay." Dong Jiancheng said again: "Then Chen Sheng, if you buy shares here, I can trade at 20% off the average value of the previous two months." ”

"Yes." Chen Zhiwen said with a chuckle.

In this cooperation, it doesn't cost much to buy shares, and the main part is the investment in loans, so he doesn't really care if there is a discount for shares, but since the Dong family took the initiative to put it forward, he naturally agreed by the way.

"That's fine, we Chinese work together to solve the problem perfectly." Huo Yingdong, who had been just drinking tea on the side, saw that the two of them were almost talking, so he smiled and said: "Dong Sheng, don't let Chen Sheng's investment down, in Hong Kong, Chen Sheng's investment is not a high return." ”

Huo Sheng laughed. Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

"I've heard that Chen Sheng has now invested in a lot of real estate companies and then cooperated with them in terms of bank loans, which is really clever and can avoid a lot of conflicts." Huo Yingdong suddenly said again.

"This is just one of them, on the other hand, I have little experience in how to operate real estate, in fact, I can't compare with Li Jiacheng and others, although I have a high return in the real estate market before, but more just wait for appreciation, this trick will work in the future, but the benefits can not be maximized, it is better to be simple, directly invest in them." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Although in this era of skyrocketing housing prices, they will definitely be able to make money, but they will definitely not be able to compare with those elites who fight from the bottom, such as Li Jiacheng, Chen Zengxi, etc., and these two companies have their own directions, there is no need to eat everything alone.

"That's fine, with Chen Sheng's current asset scale, no matter how much trouble he makes in Hong Kong, the upper limit is limited." Huo Yingdong nodded and said.

"That's what I thought too." Chen Zhiwen said.

"In the mainland, the degree of opening up to the outside world is getting higher and higher, as far as I know, including shopping malls and office buildings, some cities may gradually relax restrictions, Chen Sheng can learn more." Huo Yingdong said again: "I'm going to go to the mainland next month, do you want Chen Sheng to go together?" ”

"I've heard a little bit about it, and if I have the chance, I won't miss it, but not next month." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "After a while, maybe I will go to the mainland again, and there may be some big investment." ”

In the original history, outside of Shenhai City, the first commercial land for sale was in 1987, by the Shanghai auction, and finally a Japanese family gave up the auction successfully, and then built a small office building, which was the beginning of the real estate industry in the mainland, and before that, except for special buildings, or the need to entertain overseas tourists in the star hotels that do not understand the country, other real estate, foreign capital is not allowed to touch.

However, this matter is only being promoted at present, and it is still too early to be launched, in fact, there are many other indirect investment opportunities before this.

"Haha, yes, Chen Sheng is going to be a father soon, this matter is indeed more important." Huo Yingdong paused and said, "Then I will congratulate Chen Sheng in advance." ”

"Congratulations." Dong Jiancheng also said with a smile.

"Thank you." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

……

OOCL's investment, after Chen Zhiwen settled, was basically only a matter of time, and after Hisense's team took over, it immediately began a comprehensive review and communication with OOCL. The boss agrees to agree, but the bank team has to thoroughly check the other company, if a small problem is found, it can be used as a reason to obtain higher benefits, if a big problem is found, then it is natural to inform Chen Zhiwen of the problem, the boss, in order to determine the next step.

Even if you invest in the end, even if you lose money because of the relationship with your boss, as a gold medal worker, you need to know your risk and how much you will lose in advance, so as to prepare for the end. Of course, this is just a normal operating process, for Chen Zhiwen, a Hong Kong legend, most people do not believe that he will do a loss-making business, and even if there is, there must be other purposes.

After the news came, OOCL's stock immediately ushered in a skyrocketing price for several days, but because the base itself is relatively low, it is still a penny stock after it rises, but because of this, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which was originally going to take OOCL's stock T out, also suspended the action, and some banks that have been collecting debts have also taken a wait-and-see attitude, which also makes the pressure on the Dong family immediately much less. began to concentrate on discussing various cooperation details with Hisense Bank.

Regarding this situation, Chen Zhiwen also predicted that with his current value, investing in any company in Hong Kong will cause qualitative changes.

The rest of the things just wait for the two sides to negotiate, and there is no big problem, he just signs.

However, at this time, HK Electric also had a little trouble.

Chan Chi-man also came to the headquarters of the HK Electric Group in the southern part of Hong Kong Island, which is the place where the HK Electric Group started a hundred years ago, and has been here for many years, at most it has changed several times, getting bigger and better.

"Chen Sheng, up to now, there are a total of 26 shareholders, who hold a total of 18.1% of the shares, although it is not enough to have a veto, but HK Electric is a public body, and their demands are also agreed by many people in the court, and if they continue, I am afraid it will cause legal disputes." Hong Kong Electric's Daban Prologis reported, and a document was handed over at the same time.

"It's really troublesome, trying to find a way to make money for shareholders, and they are also against it." Chen Zhiwen looked at the list, shook his head and said, in this list, there are many shareholder representatives written in detail.

At the beginning of this year, Chen Zhiwen reached a verbal agreement with Guangdong Province to invest in three power plants in Yuezhou City, and the HK Electric Group is now 34.9% controlled by Chen Zhiwen personally, plus the Bao Yugang family holds 16% of the shares, and the latter is almost nothing, and the voting rights are also handed over to Chen Zhiwen, that is, unless other shareholders join forces to achieve a veto voting ratio, otherwise it is the existing management that has the final say.

However, during the routine announcement of this matter, many small shareholders and small shareholders came out to oppose it, arguing that HK Electric, as a public institution in Hong Kong, should not take risks to invest overseas, and if it fails, it will inevitably affect HK Electric's own business in Hong Kong.

From this point of view, it can be regarded as the past, Chen Zhiwen also knows that in the original history, Li Ka-shing also went to Canada to invest in the name of HK Electric, but the result was also opposed, and subsequently, Li Ka-shing also split HK Electric and became Power Industry and Jia Hong Real Estate.

However, Chen Zhiwen did not expect that he was investing in a power generation business project, which is HK Electric's old business, and there are still a bunch of people who disagree.

"Actually, they just want to make trouble and get a little benefit from us." GLP said.

"The benefits? Do Hong Kong listed companies generally do this? Chen Zhiwen frowned, many times, some major issues that are not of principle, when there are shareholders tossing, maybe the management or major shareholders are willing to settle the matter, they may allocate a little other benefits to these people, and the children who will make trouble have milk to drink, which may be the case.

In later generations, there are actually such people, many residents near the factory, always report the noise pollution or smell pollution of the factory, etc., some of them may be really problematic, but there are also many of them, just to want to demolish them.

"Yes, there are even special institutions that look for problems with listed companies, and then encourage shareholders to make trouble, under normal circumstances, the reasons are not sufficient, and this time, it may also be because we belong to public institutions." GLP explained.

"If it weren't for a public institution, I would have privatized it a long time ago." Chen Zhiwen smiled, and then said: "Since they like to seek stability so much, then satisfy them, and prepare to split up HK Electric, one is Hong Kong's power generation business, the other is Hong Kong's real estate, plus overseas power generation business, I will make a separate fund, fully privatize the second company, Hong Kong's power generation business will continue to remain listed, and considering that the new company does not have talents for power generation business, it will be seconded from HK Electric first, and the fees can be paid, and there will be no need for the mainland business when it is proficient." ”

Originally, Chen Zhiwen didn't mind taking HK Electric's shareholders to make a fortune in the mainland, but so many people objected, whether they were really afraid of investment failure, or they wanted to fish in troubled waters, which just gave him an opportunity to split up HK Electric's power generation business, especially HK Electric's 100 years of operation, and it also owned a large number of property plots on Hong Kong Island.
