Ever since Guo Qingya took over Wheelock, she has never felt at ease in the past few months. Wheelock's important assets are mainly in real estate and shipping companies, and these two industries are not very optimistic about Li Guangyu in recent times.
After Guo Qingya took office, she began to clean up the assets of these two companies. Unfortunately, in the past three months, she has not achieved very good results.
Between 1979 and 1980, its subsidiary Wheelock Shipping Company not only purchased a large number of the fleets sold by Yugang Pao, but also ordered ships from Japan, Denmark and the mainland. If all these fleets come back, then these ships will
The market value of the fleet will exceed 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, and nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars have yet to be paid for the ships ordered in various places. This is also a considerable pressure on Wheelock.
The business of its real estate company is not easy to handle. Guo Qingya knows that the property market in Xiangjiang is now in a state of shock, and she has not been able to sell many of the real estate company's assets in the past few months.
Guo Qingya came to Li Guangyu's office on the morning of December 2 and reported Wheelock's recent situation to Li Guangyu again, hoping that Li Guangyu could think of a solution for Wheelock.
After Li Guangyu listened to Guo Qingya's report on Wheelock, he thought about how to maintain Wheelock's continued development. Shipping is indeed very difficult. Now the shipping industry has begun to decline, and Wheelock's ships are not very good.
It’s easy to find someone to take over.
As for Wheelock Real Estate Company, Li Guangyu is not too worried. As long as he no longer acquires land, it will be fine. As for the things under construction, he can repair them as he wants. Anyway, it will only be a temporary loss in the past two years. In the future, it will be
Earn money back multiple times.
Li Guangyu said: "Qingya, as long as the assets of the real estate company are managed by your property company, we will implement the policies of our Starlight Real Estate Company within one or two years. You are very familiar with this."
As Guo Qingya, who has been in charge of Starlight Real Estate Group for more than two years, she naturally understands the real estate business very well. She knows that apart from exploring the Baodao market, Starlight Real Estate is also waiting for the property market in Xiangjiang to collapse.
Starlight Real Estate Group will enter the bargain hunt.
She originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the real estate market prices were at their peak, sell some properties, and make a big profit. After the real estate market collapsed, she bought them at the bottom so that she could earn high profits from them, but she
The idea has not been realized in the past few months.
Guo Qingya said: "Li Sheng, there is no big problem on the real estate side. The most important problem is the shipping company. Due to the wrong decision of the Madden family, the company currently has more than 100 ships, and there are still many ships in the country.
It will be built in Japan and mainland China. We also have to pay follow-up funds. I am afraid that shipping companies will be very difficult in the future."
Now Wheelock's fleet ranks third in Hong Kong, second only to Dong Haoyun and Zhao Congyan. He must start reducing the fleet in his hands, otherwise it will have a great impact on Wheelock's development. Such a large ship
When the shipping industry was in recession, maintenance costs alone were enough to hold back Wheelock's development.
Li Guangyu said: "Qingya, please contact the major shipping companies in Southeast Asia. We will sell our fleet at a discount. I believe that if we sell it at a low price, some shipping companies will still be interested."
Guo Qingya was very happy with Li Guangyu's order. She also wanted to get rid of the ships in her hands at a low price. At that time, the shipping company would only have thirty or forty new ships in recent years to maintain the operation of the shipping company.
.
It's just that she doesn't have the right to sell these ships at a low price. One of her purposes for coming to Li Guangyu this time is to hope that Li Guangyu will agree to dispose of the fleet in her hands at a low price and reduce the high cost of the fleet.
The impact of maintenance costs on Wheelock. Unexpectedly, before she spoke out, Li Guangyu ordered her to dispose of the fleet at a low price.
Guo Qingya said: "Li Sheng, the shipping industry has just entered a recession. Coupled with the reform and opening up in the mainland, many shipping companies are quite optimistic about the shipping business in the past few years. I believe that if we sell it at a discount, it will definitely
There are many shipping companies purchasing it.”
Li Guangyu also knows the thoughts of some people. For example, Dong Haoyun still insists on being optimistic about the development of shipping in the next few years, and the size of his huge fleet still shows no sign of decreasing.
Li Guangyu said: "Qingya, just watch and deal with this aspect. At the same time, you have also merged some companies under Wheelock. Now there are too many subsidiaries, which is not conducive to your management."
In addition to handling the business of real estate and aerospace companies in the past few months, Guo Qingya has spent the rest of her time sorting out the companies under the Wheelock Group.
Wheelock is indeed one of the four major foreign banks, with 200 subsidiaries of various sizes. Guo Qingya was a little confused when looking at such data. Such a group with a market value of more than HK$4 billion actually has
So many subsidiaries.
At the same time, she also knew that due to the impact of the stock market crash, the market value of Wheelock Group was underestimated. Even if the Lee Group purchased it at a premium and spent more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars, it still did not suffer a big loss.
However, it put great pressure on her management. There were only so many subsidiaries under the Lee Group, and the acquisition of Wheelock instantly doubled the number of companies in the Lee Group.
Guo Qingya said: "Li Sheng, we need the cooperation of other groups in this regard. We plan to transfer some companies that are not closely related to groups that are closely related to other groups, which will also be conducive to the development of our Li Group.
Wheelock Group will focus on developing real estate, shipping and trading industries in the future."
Li Guangyu didn't have any objections to this. After carving out other subsidiaries, Guo Qingya could concentrate on these major businesses.
Li Guangyu said: "Clean up the group and make a document. When the year-end meeting is held, discuss with the senior management of each major group at the meeting to see how to divide it more appropriately. In addition, you will airlift 25% of the group's Xiangjiang
The shares of the cargo terminal will be transferred to Xiangjiang Airlines. I plan to acquire this company this time so that our aviation group can control the aviation market in Xiangjiang."
Guo Qingya said: "Okay Li Sheng, I will contact General Manager Zhao Wenhua when I get back and I will complete the transfer as soon as possible."
Guo Qingya is not worried that the assets of Wheelock Group under her control will shrink significantly as a result. She knows that if they give up these now, when they expand, Li Guangyu will inject a large amount of funds into their group to support them, especially Xiangjiang.
When buying real estate at the bottom, Li Guangyu will definitely consider Wheelock's situation.
Starlight Real Estate is actively exploring the Baodao market, so the future market in Xiangjiang will be dominated by Wheelock. It is impossible for the Lee Group to allow two real estate groups to expand vigorously in Xiangjiang at the same time.
And she knew that Li Guangyu was very optimistic about the future real estate industry in the mainland market. Because Starlight Real Estate Group was vigorously developing Baodao, she, Wheelock, had an advantage over them in entering the mainland market.
Guo Qingya even thinks that Li Guangyu will probably let Wheelock develop the Hong Kong and mainland markets in the future, while Starlight Real Estate Group will develop the international market, allowing the two major groups to form misaligned development. This will not only avoid infighting between the two major groups, but also avoid some other factors.
