After the topic dropped, Huo Yingdong said to those present: "The time for Xiangjiang's return to the mainland has been decided. Regarding how Xiangjiang will develop in the future, the central government hopes to listen to everyone's opinions. Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang of the motherland and is shared by all of us.
Xiangjiang, only if we strengthen communication and work together can Xiangjiang develop better in the future.
This time, I am entrusted by him to invite you to go to Beijing next month, and many central leaders will hold talks with you."
Everyone attaches great importance to the mainland market, and Xiangjiang, as the place where everyone started, is also the fundamental place. They naturally hope that Xiangjiang will develop better and better, so for this invitation, Lee Shau Kee, Zheng Yutong and others readily agreed.
It's just that Li Guangyu is in trouble here. He plans to fly non-stop to Paris on the 28th and prepare to buy bargains in Western Europe. This opportunity is not easy. In the past few years, the wave of privatization in Western Europe has been very fierce. After this village, there will be no
This is the store.
At present, the market value of many good companies is still very low, which is very suitable for Li Guangyu to make a move. If it were delayed in a few years, Li Guangyu might have to pay billions of dollars more.
Li Guangyu said: "Huo Sheng, accepted the invitation of the new French Prime Minister Chirac, and will inspect the French market on the 28th of this month. I wonder when will he go to the capital this time?"
Huo Yingdong is very familiar with some things about the Li Group. Over the past year or so, the power of the Political Research Office of the Li Group has expanded very quickly. This time French Prime Minister Chirac was elected, and the Li Group also made a lot of efforts behind it.
Not to mention the financial support for the election, its affiliated companies are also canvassing votes for it.
The Lee Foundation is no longer the apolitical business group it once was. There are members of the Lee Foundation's political research office in many countries.
Fortunately, the Li Group only carried out some relatively reasonable operations in these capitalist countries and did not maliciously subvert the political power in some regions. Otherwise, the Li Group would definitely be an extremely dangerous group.
Now the Lee Foundation is becoming more and more like the American and Japanese consortiums. That is to say, the Lee Foundation is located in Hong Kong. If it is in some capitalist countries, maybe that country will be controlled by the Lee Foundation like the United States, Japan, and South Korea.
Huo Yingdong knows that the development of the consortium will eventually go this way. Whether it is to compete for the market or to control the initiative, they will want to control it in their own hands, so that they can rest assured.
After the US government specifically targeted the Li Group, the style of the Li Group has completely changed. Huo Yingdong does not know whether this change is good or bad. As long as Li Guangyu does not violate the interests of the motherland, he will not repay more.
And he is not qualified to comment on Li Guangyu.
Huo Yingdong said: "Guangyu, our plan is April 21st. If you don't plan to stay in Western Europe for a long time, you should be able to attend."
Li Guangyu plans to stay in Western Europe for half a month this time, which means he has plenty of time. Except for the 1984 military parade, he has never been to the capital. This time he will go and take a closer look at the changes in the capital over the past few years.
After Huo Yingdong completed his own affairs, he stopped being the protagonist and listened to the discussions of these Hong Kong business elites.
Bao Yugang said, "Wen Jin, the current shipping winter is still going on. I don't know when it will end. I don't know what your plan is for Wanbang Shipping. The Dong family is currently facing many difficulties. I hope you will take Haoyun's consideration into consideration."
Thanks to my connections, I can take care of the Dong family’s boys.”
Currently, global shipping is at a freezing point. Many shipping companies around the world have declared bankruptcy, including many well-known regional and even world-renowned companies.
While they were all reducing the size of their fleet, the Dong family expanded a lot, so that it is now difficult to develop.
As a competitor and old friend for many years, Pao Yugang couldn't bear to see the foundation created by Dong Haoyun disappear like this. He hoped that everyone could make a little effort to help the Dong family overcome this difficulty.
Cao Wenjin said: "Yugang, it is estimated that shipping has not improved in the past few years. I only hope that it will pick up in the 1990s. At present, our Wanbang shipping fleet is not large, but it can barely operate. The Dong family can only cut off their hands now. At present, they
The huge fleet on hand will only be a drag, and the annual maintenance costs alone are a huge number."
Cao Wenjin also helped a group of Dong family, but he was powerless. At this time, his own fleet could only barely make ends meet, so how could he still have the ability to take care of the Dong family's fleet.
Bao Yugang first found the wrong person for this matter. Now only Li Guangyu is sitting here who can give some help. Hengyu Supermarket under the Li Group is constantly expanding, and the demand for logistics continues to increase. Give some business to the Dong family
Oriental Shipping Group is still available.
Although Li Guangyu was his son-in-law, he could not directly make the decision for Li Guangyu, so Cao Wenjin could only express his helplessness.
And this time, not only the Dong family is facing huge difficulties, but also the Zhao family. Huaguang Shipping is also facing huge pressure. If they help, they can't just help the Dong family and not take care of the Zhao family.
Huo Yingdong said: "Since Haoyun's sudden departure, the Dong family boys have been working very hard to maintain the Oriental Shipping Group's industry. We all developed in Xiangjiang and are all Chinese families. Most of you are from them.
As an elder, if you are able, I hope you can lend a helping hand."
Most of the people here are real estate groups. They have no need in this area at all. Even if they have the intention, they don't have the strength.
Feng Jingyao said: "Yingdong, you also know that our main business is basically real estate and finance. We can't help in other places, but we can still provide financial support. If the Dong family needs it, our Xiangjiang Bank can provide it."
A loan of US$100 million to relieve the pressure on the Dong family."
Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang did not expect such a big surprise. A loan of 100 million US dollars was enough for Eastern Shipping Group to solve many difficulties.
At this time, Hong Kong Bank was able to lend US$100 million to Oriental Shipping, which was a very big favor.
Bao Yugang said: "Jingyao, thank you very much for your support. I believe that the Dong family boys will remember your kindness. In the future, the Dong family industry will strengthen cooperation with your Xiangjiang Bank."
Feng Jingyao responded: "Our Xiangjiang Huazi family has always worked together. This time the Dong family encountered difficulties, and we have the ability to help, so naturally we have to lend a hand."
Zhao Congyan was listening to the Xiangjiang Bank providing such a large loan to the Dong family. He was extremely envious. The Zhao family was also under a lot of pressure. He also regretted his original choice. If he had learned from Wanbang, Global, and Wheelock earlier, he was very envious.
If the company downsizes like that, it won't face such a dilemma now.
Seeing Zhao Congyan's hesitant expression, Li Guangyu knew his inner thoughts and said to him: "Uncle Zhao, I know that your Huaguang Shipping is also in difficulty at the moment. Our Tianyu Bank is willing to give you a loan of 100 million US dollars to assist Huaguang Shipping."
Shipping will survive this crisis."
Zhao Congyan said excitedly: "Guangyu, thank you so much. With your support, I don't need to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall. I am currently disposing of the ships in my hand at a low price, but the entire market is not very good at the moment."
Well, it will be difficult to take action for a while."
