In the press conference hall, all the reporters looked at Wang Jiangang on the stage, with shock and relief on their faces.
Now they finally understand why Luming City responded so strongly.
Although the combined strength of the protestors' alliance is indeed very powerful, and even accounts for more than 80% of the investors, but so what, for Luming City, as long as 20% of the investors can solve the problem Their financing problem, so what if 80/80 investors don't exist.
Wang Jiangang looked at the discussions among the reporters in the audience, with a faint sneer on his lips, and his heart was filled with strong admiration for Mayor Liu Qingyu.
What is a great person and what is an understatement?
Liu Qingyu, even though he was in a hospital bed, defused the strong attacks of the protestors' alliance in an understatement. Looking at the behavior of these media reporters now, Wang Jiangang believed that it would be difficult for the protesters' alliance to continue to unite at this moment. , because no one wants to become the next Doyle Company, and no one really wants to lose the opportunity to bid. More importantly, after this press conference, those who originally wanted to join the protest alliance to force the city to occupy Luming City Companies that gain some benefits will suffer heavy losses.
Wang Jiangang has just said that if the companies participating in the Protesters Alliance have the same conditions or even have a slight advantage over other bidding companies, Luming City will choose other companies to win the bid instead of the Protesters Alliance. This is also This means that if any company that joins the protestors' alliance wants to win the bid, it must come up with more favorable financing terms than other bidding companies. This is definitely a waste of money.
At this moment, Wang Jiangang looked very calm on the surface. In fact, the reporters at the scene did not know that at this moment, Wang Jiangang was actually far less calm than he seemed on the surface, because he knew that what he just said was half true and false, and it was indeed true later. Several companies purchased the bidding documents, but those companies are all small and medium-sized investment companies. It is difficult for them to directly solve the financing problem of Luming City with their power. However, Liu Qingyu asked him to say this, and he could only say this, Liu Qingyu also told him that this is called psychological tactics.
In order to leave here as soon as possible and prevent his inner weakness from being seen by the media reporters, Wang Jiangang immediately said: "Okay, let's start answering the third question."
Then Wang Jiangang pointed with his hand, and a person who looked like a Chinese reporter stood up and spoke in a blur of Japanese.
Wang Jiangang smiled lightly: "I'm sorry, reporter, we are in China. I don't understand what you are talking about. Why don't you ask another reporter?"
The Japanese reporter suddenly frowned and said in Chinese: "Secretary-General Wang, I'm wondering why you didn't prepare a translator when you held a press conference in Luming City."
Wang Jiangang asked rhetorically: "This is our Luming City. Of course we have to use our Mandarin to hold press conferences. Why do we need to prepare a translator? As a journalist reporting in places other than your own country, shouldn't you use the language of the host country?" .”
The Japanese reporter was at a loss for words and immediately changed the subject and asked: "Secretary-General Wang, don't you think the result of your Luming City's treatment is a bit unfair? Why can't the coalition of protestors win the bid under the same conditions? Isn't it that your Luming City has always advocated Is it fair and just?”
Wang Jiangang smiled faintly: "You are right, we in Luming City have always advocated fairness and justice, but this kind of fairness and justice is for legitimate competitors and collaborators. For those who intend to disrupt the market order through mergers and acquisitions, Why should we treat cooperative companies fairly? If anyone or any company wants to use unfair means to obtain improper benefits, they must be prepared to pay the price. We advocate fairness, but it does not mean that we tolerate shamelessness. And mean, our fairness is only for partners with sincerity and integrity."
After Wang Jiangang answered a few more questions, he said with a smile: "Okay, dear reporters, that ends my answers today. Thank you all for your attention and presence. I have something else to do. That's it for today's press conference. That’s it.”
After saying that, Wang Jiangang turned around and left.
The reporters in the venue immediately dispersed. Some wanted to chase after them and ask more questions, but Wang Jiangang rejected them one by one.
Wang Jiangang still understands the path that leads to failure if you talk too much, but at this moment he feels very guilty, so he must leave first.
At the same time that Wang Jiangang left, in the conference room of Luming Hotel, the participants of the protest alliance watched the live video of the entire press conference on the big screen in the conference room. After they watched it, everyone's eyes became angry.
But at this moment, everyone's eyes were turned to Doyle.
The person in charge of a German bank said dissatisfied: "Doyle, didn't you keep saying that joining the protestors' alliance would guarantee benefits? Now, not only have we not received the expected benefits, but we have lost our integrity points in Luming City. If we want to win the bid, we must pay more favorable cooperation conditions than other companies. Our losses are too great, Doyle, you must give us an explanation."
At this moment, Doyle was sitting in the chair, accepting the indiscriminate bombardment from various companies, with a look of depression and pain on his face.
When everyone pointed their fingers at him, he couldn't bear it any longer. He slammed the table and said, "That's enough. Have you said enough? Yes, I promised that there would be no problem, but I was also I was deceived. Moyes, who was from Singapore Jiacheng Investment at the time, told me that there would be no problem. He said that he had already worked with some leaders in Tianya Province to ensure that there would be no problem. That’s why I contacted you to organize a protest. The Alliance of Enterprises, but now it has failed, and our Doyle Company has been disqualified by Luming City. You think I am willing, but I am not willing either.
I also want to succeed and I don’t want to fail, but the problem is that this matter is beyond my control. What can I do? Although you have lost your integrity points, what I have lost is the opportunity to bid. I have now been dismissed by the board of directors. The directors are so critical of me, you think I feel better, Moyes, you must give me an explanation."
Speaking of this, Doyle looked at Moyes with anger.
At this time, Moyes' cell phone rang. Moyes looked at Doyle and everyone apologetically and said, "Sorry, I'll answer the phone first."
Immediately, Moyes stood up and walked out. Everyone waited inside for half an hour, but Moyes never came back.
At this time, Doyle already felt that something was wrong. When he called Moyes again, he found that Moyes's phone had been turned off.
Doyle was completely furious and slammed the table: "Moyes, you bastard, you dare to play tricks on me, I'm not done with you."
As he spoke, Doyle rushed out of the room angrily and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Only then did the heads of other companies come back to their senses.
Good guy, these two organizers have all run away. Their alliance of protesters has been completely disbanded. They all suffered a loss, but they have no temper at all, because Doyle has been disqualified from bidding. They can still get Doyle. How is the company?
For a temporary alliance like theirs, when there is benefit, everyone can naturally share it, but once it fails, everyone can only endure it and swallow the pain. This is their Western-style cooperation model. .
They had this model of cooperation when the Eight-Power Allied Forces bloodbathed the Old Summer Palace and took away a large number of Chinese national treasures. They also had this model of cooperation when the multinational coalition and the Volunteer Army to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea suffered a disastrous defeat in the war in North Korea.
Their cooperation is based on interests. Once their interests are lost, the cooperation will collapse, and they will have to fight on their own.
During the subsequent bidding publicity period, although reporters from various media gathered in Luming City, no major news happened. The entire Luming City seemed calm, and everything was moving forward on a stable track.
The financing bidding meeting officially opened.
This time, Luming City still adopted a three-round bidding model for the financing bidding meeting.
In other words, in the first round, each company separately reports the amount of financing that its company intends to raise, puts forward its own financing conditions, and proposes its operating plan. After the first round of bidding, the operating plan scores are fixed, and then Entering the second round of bidding on price and financing conditions.
After the second round of bidding, the bottom third of the bidding companies were eliminated, and the remaining two-thirds entered the third round of final bidding. After this round of bidding, 8 cooperative bidding companies were finally selected.
Regarding the financing limit for bidding companies, Luming City also stipulated in the bidding documents that the maximum financing amount of each company cannot exceed 120 billion yuan. At the same time, once each company successfully enters the ranks of financing cooperation, its financing shares cannot Transfer between shareholders. If it is to be transferred, priority must be given to Luming City or a new investor designated by Luming City.
The reason why Luming City stipulates this is to prevent certain financing companies from controlling more than 51% of the entire deep-water port project through cooperation, thereby completely controlling the absolute dominance of the entire project.
The first round of bidding had just begun, and the entire bidding meeting was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
The first companies to come out were the companies from the Protesters Alliance. These companies knew very well that if they wanted to get a share of the project, they had to come up with more favorable cooperation conditions than other companies. Therefore, in the first round , these companies have taken out some of their trump cards.
There are as many as 10 companies with committed financing amounts of 20 to 30 billion. Each of these companies has given good financing cooperation conditions, while other companies have adopted a conservative stance in the first round, except for operational plans. , all very conservative in terms of price and financing conditions.
However, due to the sudden appearance of more than a dozen protester alliances, when the bidding entered the second round, everyone realized that a fierce battle was about to begin.
No one noticed that Liu Qingyu, who was far away in the hospital ward, was watching the bidding meeting through live video surveillance, and his face looked a little gloomy.
