People have birth, old age, sickness and death. Whether you are a billionaire political leader or a poor general public, it is inevitable.
On May 16, Kowloon TV issued an obituary that Mr. Dong Haoyun, director of Kowloon Film and Television Media Group and chairman of Oriental Overseas Group, passed away in Yanghe Hospital.
As one of the four ship kings in Xiangjiang and the leader of the seven ship kings in the world, and the core member of the Xianghua Consortium, the death of Dong Haoyun was a very bad blow to the Xianghua Consortium.
Especially as the world's shipping is gradually reaching a trough, Dong Haoyun's death has also cast a shadow on Xiangjiang shipping companies.
Influenced by him, the day after his death, as soon as the stock market opened, the stock prices of Xiangjiang shipping companies fell one after another. Even Huangpu Shipping, which had few ships, failed to avoid the fate of the stock market falling.
Oriental Overseas fell by 21% in the morning. Although there was a rebound later, at the close, its stock price still fell by 14.6% compared with the opening.
Such a decline doesn't matter to companies like Huangpu Shipping that don't have much foreign debt, but it's very fatal to Oriental Overseas, which has expanded rapidly in recent years.
In recent years, due to the landing of the ship charter king Qi Hai, the fleet size in his hand has gradually shrunk. In addition, Huangpu Shipping has also been reducing the fleet size. On the contrary, Dongfang Overseas has been the opposite, and it has promoted multiple financing, loans, mergers and acquisitions, which has not only made it difficult to achieve the same situation. It has become the company with the largest fleet of Xiangjiang and the company with the largest fleet of private enterprises in the world.
Especially at the end of the year before yesterday, the launch of the Sea Giant freighter ordered at Sumitomo Shipyard in Japan made it even more glorious.
However, behind this glamorousness, Oriental Overseas is burdened with debts. If the shipping prosperity is good, then there will be no problems in the overseas development of the East China Sea.
However, due to the oil crisis and the weak Western economy, the world shipping market has also begun to trough.
The numerous fleets not only fail to become a powerful tool for the company to make money, but instead become a burden on the company.
It rained all night long, and the boat was late and the wind was on the head.
With Dong Haoyun, the helmman, relying on his management, this boat from the East and Overseas can also make the ship break through the waves.
Now that Dong Haoyun has gone, not many people are confident in whether Oriental Overseas can develop normally and improve. At least from the reactions from the stock market, pessimistic investors account for the majority.
At this moment, Li Jianhui welcomed a visiting guest in the office of Huidefeng Building.
"Li Sheng, I'm here to visit you today. First, I hope Li Sheng can take action to maintain the stability of the stock price of the Xiangjiang stock market and shipping sector.
Second, I hope that with the abundant business of Huangpu Maritime Transportation Company, Donghuahui's industries have maritime transportation business, can provide Orient Overseas with some to help Orient Overseas overcome this difficulty.
The third is to understand whether Huangpu Shipping has plans to purchase freighters in the near future. Orient Overseas and our Global Shipping freighters have plans to reduce the size of their fleet. If Li Sheng is willing to purchase, we are willing to sell them one level lower than the current market price. ”
When Li Jianhui heard this, he knew that the ship charter king was mainly for the East and overseas today. He was not interested in the three points mentioned by the ship charter king.
The decline in the shipping sector and Dong Haoyun's death were just an inducement. Even without this, the shipping sector will go to a trough due to market factors. This is due to the global environment and cannot be changed by individuals.
Li Jianhui was unwilling to put limited funds into it. With memories of his previous life, he knew very well that the current cold winter of shipping is just the beginning, and it will be more than ten years after it will prosper again.
As for the industrial shipping business under Donghuahui, Huangpu Shipping is currently enough to meet the needs, but it does not have the spirit of self-sacrificing oneself.
As for buying freighters, the current production capacity of Huangpu Shipping Shipping yard is enough to meet the needs of Huangpu Shipping Company to purchase new ships.
You should know that in addition to the Xiangjiang Qingyi Shipyard, Huangpu Shipyard also has a Malay Johor Bahru Shipyard, and has also established a joint venture with Thailand to establish a Nammei Shipyard, whether for cost considerations or to train the skills of the shipyard employees.
Li Jianhui only orders the ships when purchasing them at these major shipyards.
The chartered ship king came today and found the wrong person. Li Jianhui believes that it is difficult for Sun Hung Hok and Xin Yahui to provide much help to Oriental Overseas in this regard. After all, Sun Hung Hok will have Huaguang Shipping and Xin Ya
There will be Wanbang Shipping, and they cannot ignore the interests of their allies.
To save Dongfang Overseas, I am afraid that Xianghua will still have to find help from the north.
"Bao Sheng, I believe you should be aware of the current situation in Xiangjiang. Now our five major associations have shipping companies, and these shipping companies also mainly serve the business of this association in Xiangjiang.
In terms of business, we cannot cooperate with Oriental Overseas, and we hope Bao Sheng can understand this aspect.
I am also aware of some of the current situation in Oriental Overseas, and I admire Mr. Dong Haoyun very much throughout his life.
Forget it, I will communicate with Li Guobao, Feng Jingyao, Guo Zhiquan and others tonight. At that time, Xinjian Bank, East Asia Bank, Daoheng Bank, and Yong'an Bank will provide joint loans to Orient Overseas to help Orient Overseas get out of the current predicament.
.”
Listening to Li Jianhui's previous words, the King of Ship chartered was still a little disappointed, but when he heard the latter words, he was filled with surprise.
With the top three local Chinese banks in Xiangjiang, and a top ten local Chinese banks in Xiangjiang, the joint loans to Orient Overseas are enough to get Orient Overseas out of its current predicament.
As for business, he will join hands with Huo Yingdong and others to go to the north to seek cooperation. He believes that relying on Xianghuahui's industries and some businesses in the north will be enough to bring back Dongfang Overseas to life.
"Thank you very much for Li Sheng to lend a helping hand at such a time. I also believe that Jianhua's ability will inevitably lead Oriental Overseas out of the current predicament, and the loans from your major banks will never be lost."
After seeing off the charter king, Li Jianhui called the members of Donghuahui in Xiangjiang and asked everyone to have dinner at Xinhui Hotel in the evening. At the same time, he mentioned something about Dongfang Overseas.
Li Jianhui is willing to provide some loans, one is to consider that Dong Haoyun has just passed away, and the other is to give the ship charter king some face. In addition, Dong Jianhua, the current successor of Oriental Overseas, is not ordinary in the future.
And he also knew that even if he didn't take action, Huo Yingdong and others would save the situation at critical moments. Dongfang Overseas would not go bankrupt, and future development would gradually improve, and there would not be too much risk for him to borrow money.
This time, I will do more favors. Anyway, I use depositors’ money and can also increase the performance of the bank. Li Jianhui is still willing to do such things.
