Chapter 400: The Korean Alliance
The situation was getting more and more turbulent. Cao Mo had no reputation in the Xinhai business community and no connections. No one would bother him at this time, but Qian Wenhan could not remain calm.
Various investment research conferences, investment promotion conferences, and economic and trade fairs are mostly organized by local governments, or invited by local leaders, or invited by friends who have known each other for many years. Qian Wenhan is not allowed to shirk. He is just as busy and busy as Cao Mo. Much more.
When Qian Wenhan received a call from Shen Ji in the afternoon, he was attending a seminar in the city. He could not say a few words on the phone. When the seminar was over, he rushed to Jinhonghui, Cao Mo, Ding Zhaoqiang, and Ge Jun. Li Xiaodong had been chatting for a while, and Qian Wenhan asked jokingly:
"Why are you all here at the Jinhong Club today? In addition to urging me to pay, are you going to give me another meal?"
"You guessed it right. There's no way we would have to pay for it out of our own pockets when we go to your territory!" Cao Mo pointed at the cigars on the corner of the table and said with a smile, "It's just that Governor Li hasn't developed the habit of blackmailing you yet. I actually brought a box of cigars here - would you like one first?"
"I didn't eat much at noon. I rushed here after the seminar. The car was stuck in the inner ring elevated expressway for more than half an hour. I was so hungry." Qian Wenhan was curious when he saw that Cao Mo also handed over a cigar. He asked, "It's already this late. Why haven't you eaten yet? Who else are you waiting for?"
"Yu Yiming is coming over, but he is stuck like a dog on the inner ring elevated highway!" Cao Mo said jokingly.
"Yu Yiming and President Li are usually very rich people, why are they so free today?" Qian Wenhan knew that Ding Zhaoqiang had wanted to meet Yu Yiming, chairman of Xinhai United Bank, and Li Xiaodong, president of Xinhai United Bank, many times before, hoping that Xinhai United Bank could help. Some of the loans were settled, but they were all rejected. Unexpectedly, just after the crisis of Dongsheng Real Estate was resolved, Yu Yiming and Li Xiaodong both appeared and couldn't help but ask teasingly.
Qian Wenhan is a veteran in the industry. After receiving some teasing from him, Li Xiaodong could only shake his head and smile bitterly, saying: "I specially selected a box of the best cigars and brought them here. Can't I stop you, Mr. Qian?"
In this world, it is always easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when it is timely.
When Dongsheng's crisis was at its most frightening, many financial institutions asked Dongsheng to repay loans in advance, and one bank even directly withheld the funds from Dongsheng's account with this bank. Ding Zhaoqiang was so angry that he went to that bank to sell it completely on the same day. Households, cut off contact.
Xinhai United Bank, as a regional private joint-stock commercial bank, Dongsheng Group only holds 1% of its shares. Naturally, we should not expect it to have much influence to favor Dongsheng in terms of loans.
As the president of Xinhai United Bank, Zhang Xiaodong is mainly responsible for the daily affairs of the bank. Behind him is Chairman Yu Yiming. And behind him and Yu Yiming is the board of directors who have a more complicated relationship; in addition to Han Shaorong, Even Lu Jiancheng was still a member of the board of directors of Xinhai United Bank at this time.
As the president, Li Xiaodong did not send a letter asking Dongsheng to repay loans totaling more than 800 million yuan in advance, nor did he withhold Dongsheng's funds in Xinlian's account. This was considered a good act. He just had no way to respond to Dongsheng's increase in loans. He requested that he had to hide and avoid meeting Ding Zhaoqiang during this period of time.
Ding Zhaoqiang knew this very well, so when Li Xiaodong made an appointment to meet today, he did not lose his temper and said no, and happily organized a dinner for the night to discuss whether there were any new cooperation possibilities, so as to put the past behind him as soon as possible.
We are all old friends, so we were not embarrassed because Qian Wenhan teased us a few words, but we were relieved when the topic was brought up.
But Qian Wenhan was very curious.
As the head of Xinhai United Bank, Li Xiaodong had done evil things before, so it was enough for him to step in and ease the relationship at this time. I was curious about what Yu Yiming was doing in such a hurry.
"Lao Yu originally had other arrangements, but when he heard about your plan to set up an acquisition fund, he was also very interested, so he temporarily turned down other dinner parties and came over to make money for your meal." Li Xiaodong explained briefly.
"I said that each of your families can apply for an annual card. It won't cost more than ten or two hundred thousand. As for doing such a ridiculous thing?" Qian Wenhan slapped his forehead and shouted.
After waiting for a while, Yu Yiming arrived, and everyone moved to the main hall to eat and chat while eating.
Yu Yiming's personal business has been greatly affected by the subprime mortgage crisis this time. Even if he has some spare capacity, he will fully support the business development of Xinhai United Bank.
However, Yu Yiming holds 14% of the shares of Xinhai United Bank indirectly or directly. As the largest natural shareholder and chairman of Xinhai United Bank, he heard on the phone in the afternoon that Tianyue was interested in joining Dongsheng, and Xinhong was in
Dongjiang Securities established an acquisition fund to compete with Huamao Investment for the controlling stake in Taihua Group. He immediately expressed his support for Xinhai United Bank to provide part of the funds for this acquisition fund.
Yu Yiming turned down other dinner parties and rushed to Jinhong Club to meet with everyone and learn more about the relevant details.
At around eight o'clock, the dinner party was not over yet, and Zhou Shenhe also came over from another banquet.
He sat down and said: "Since Xinhai Gold has launched an investment layout in West Africa, it is necessary to appropriately participate in the acquisition of the controlling stake of Taihua Group. I specifically talked to the leaders of the district committee in the afternoon, and the district felt that Xinhai Gold
A board meeting can be held to discuss…”
"Today we have officially formed an alliance to fight against South Korea and take food from Huamao's mouth?" Ding Zhaoqiang asked, rubbing his head.
In the afternoon, he heard Cao Mo talk about the plan to acquire the fund, and thought that Cao Mo had a deeper intention of disrupting the situation and making Han Shaorong feel bad. It was unlikely that he would really seize the controlling stake of Taihua Group from Han Shaorong, but he did not expect that.
In addition to Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun, not only Yu Yiming rushed over excitedly after hearing the relevant plan, but even Zhou Shenhe wanted to directly involve Xinhai Gold Industry in this matter.
However, if you think about it carefully, besides him and Cao Mo, Zhou Shenhe was almost kicked out of Xinhai Gold Industry by Han Shaorong, Ge Jun was even severely cheated by Han Shaorong, while Qian Wenhan chose to support Zhou Shenhe, and Ge Jun had a grudge against Han Shaorong.
; In the process of Yu Yiming and Li Xiaodong fighting for the dominance of Xinhai United Bank in recent years, they also fought openly and secretly with Han Shaorong...
When these people gather together, they can really be said to be an alliance to conquer South Korea and defeat South Korea.
And in this way, the momentum of their joint efforts has already surpassed that of Huamao, and it may not be impossible to win over the controlling stake of Taihua Group.
Then when the acquisition fund is established, the goal can no longer be to simply disrupt the situation. Next, we must consider the issue. If the tiger's mouth seizes the food, what should we do next after we obtain the controlling stake of Taihua Group?
This is also the key to Yu Yiming and Zhou Shenhe coming over.
Grudges remain grudges. As rational businessmen and entrepreneurs, Yu Yiming and Zhou Shenhe cannot completely eliminate personal emotions when doing things, but they cannot let personal grudges affect the development of business and enterprises.
Whether they participate in or support the establishment of a buyout fund, they must see the benefits, and at least ensure that they will not bring additional losses or unequal risks.
"The Taihua Group, under the control of brothers Lu Jiancheng and Lu Jianchao, has been deeply involved in the investment and construction of Kanem in recent years. However, it is a pity that many projects have been intermittent and lacked overall planning. Some changes have occurred, making the progress difficult to say.
People are satisfied. However, even for the sake of Tianyue's industrial development in West Africa and the development environment of Chinese businessmen in West Africa, I cannot sit back and watch key large-scale projects such as Conero Marina New City, Conero Lake Port, and New Taihua Refinery.
Projects are unfinished casually," Cao Mo said. "Putting aside my personal grudges with Han Shaorong, Huamao is very good at asset management, but its business operations are a bit unremarkable, so my minimum goal is to do my best.
Raise the price for Huamao to compete for the controlling stake of Taihua Group. This will force Han Shaorong to really pay attention to the projects along the shores of Lake Conero, and prevent them from having the mentality of 'it's nothing to regret even if it fails there'. Secondly, we
We must also consider that we have obtained the controlling stake of Taihua Group, but the other 69% of the shares of Cornero Marina New City, Cornero Lake and New Taihua Refinery continue to be scattered among New Taihua Investment and Huamao
As well as the situation in the hands of the three Fulkov Investments. It is a bit more extreme. Even Xintaihua Investment was eventually controlled by Huamao, but Huamao only held a total of 40% of the equity in these projects. We cooperated with Fulkov Investment
, can still take the lead in these projects. It is not impossible for Fulkov Investment to join forces with Huamao, but this must have a premise, that is, Huamao sincerely promotes the construction and development of this series of projects. This kind of
Under such circumstances, it is actually safe for us to hold 31% of the equity of these projects through Taihua Group. Waiting for the completion of these projects and sharing the benefits is..."
"Our focus is still to consider Huamao's eventual exit, which must be written in detail in the acquisition document!" Yu Yiming said.
"Huamao finally chose to withdraw, and in the end it was us and Fulkov Investment who shared the cake," Cao Mo said. "Folkov Investment had long ago taken control of the United West African Petroleum Trading Company and was interested in Xin Taihua Refining.
The plant can also be said to be determined to win - this actually determines which company Fulkov Investment will ultimately choose to cooperate with. Considering that Huamao may eventually withdraw, I personally advocate that the crude oil from the New Taihua Refinery and the Conero Lake Port
The dock part was given to Fulkov Investment, and we took over the assets and construction tasks of Conero Marina New City and other parts of Conero Lake Port, and the scale of funds used was much smaller..."
"Among many projects, the investment in Xintaihua Refinery is very high, but its asset value is also the highest," Yu Yiming said. "Kaneim currently has no possibility of large-scale development of urban real estate, and the operation of the industrial park is at best a small profit.
, even in the early stage, it is a state of high investment and low return. If there is no support from the New Taihua Refinery, where will the funds required for subsequent construction investment of Conero Marina New City and Conero Lake Port be obtained, and how will the internal blood supply capacity be achieved?
?”
"Indeed, the initial investment in Conero Lake Port and Conero Marina New City is far higher than the return. Without blood supply capacity, it is difficult to continue. If it has suffered losses for three consecutive years, listed companies will also face the risk of delisting," Cao Mo
Said, "So Huamao finally withdrew, and we had to hand over the New Taihua Refinery to Furkov Investment. In order to win the support of Furkov Investment, we had to sign an agreement secretly first, but we
Cornero Cement, the Gulf of Guinea Shipping and Trading Company, and even the plantations operated by Dongsheng Group and Cornero Foods in West African countries can be put into Taihua. Through the hematopoietic ability of these assets, the company can maintain
