The night view outside the villa is beautiful, with moonlight falling in the woods. Wang Hanjun was walking in her courtyard, waiting for the outcome of the meeting between her father and Jing Gao. Her father's words just now made her feel nervous, and she couldn't help but think about these questions:
Will he really get angry and try to pressure HNA in business?
Wang Hanjun was in a mess. Her character is actually a bit "princess-tempered", but at such a critical moment, she couldn't lose her temper. Instead, she wandered alone in the courtyard, letting the mixed emotions linger around her.
The so-called "critical moment" because she knew how bad the recent situation was for HNA.
HNA's problems are more serious than outsiders know, and it is facing the crisis of collapse. The group is selling assets across the board in order to ease financial pressure. She asked her brother-in-law Cui Bin. In the past six months, HNA Group has sold 20 to 30 billion worth of assets. But this is not enough.
It may be necessary to raise another 50 to 60 billion in cash, not including bank loans, equity value, bonds and other payment methods, but pure cash. This will be enough for HNA to breathe a sigh of relief.
Not to mention anything else, as far as HNA’s financial payments were concerned, from last year to March this year, HNA Group acquired a total of 5 pieces of land on Hong Kong Island, consuming HK$27.2 billion in funds. What follows is the investigation scandal in April: Fosun, Wanda, and HNA were affected.
The familiar evening breeze from his hometown blew Wang Hanjun's hair on his forehead, making his round and bright face look unspeakably beautiful in the night. Even though there was a bit of gloom in her peach blossom eyes at this time, her beautiful face was filled with sadness and boredom.
The Jing Gao she knew would not do this kind of thing to force her to bow her head in a commercial way. Because he has always been as gentle as jade to girls. This is what she likes about him. Although he is in charge of huge wealth, he does not have those dark things in him, and has a temperament and taste as fresh as sunshine.
But she didn't know whether he would hate her out of love. She was certain that Jing Gao had feelings for her. Moreover, he is a bit greedy when it comes to women. Therefore, she was not sure whether Jinggao would do this.
Wang Hanjun sighed softly and looked at the bright moon and stars in the sky.
…
…
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Jing Gao, accompanied by Yin Jian, arrived at HNA's headquarters building and met with Wang Jian in the conference room on the 31st floor.
HNA’s internal management team all believe in Buddhism. Led by Chairman Chen Feng and Chairman Wang Jian. Therefore, elements of Buddhism can be seen everywhere in HNA’s headquarters. It is said that there is also a Buddhist hall on the top floor.
"Mr. Jing, sit down!" Wang Jian politely invited Jing Gao to take a seat and introduced the six executives around him. All of them are royal officials within HNA.
"Thank you." Jing Gao took the bus from Sanya to Haikou in the afternoon. Dinner was seafood at the hotel's seafood restaurant.
Wang Jian motioned to his deputy, Vice Chairman Lu Ying, to introduce the status of the negotiations between the two parties.
Lu Ying was 51 years old and had a little gray hair. He stood up, bowed slightly and nodded politely to Jing Gao, and said: "Dear Mr. Jing, friends from the Phoenix Group, good evening. Let me introduce you. The situation of HNA’s two assets for sale…”
Because of his lack of caution and respect for Jing Gao, the entire HNA executive team understood that the young man in front of them had the power to pull HNA out of the quagmire! This strength deserves respect. Mr. Jing's visit to HNA's headquarters today is a signal that he intends to reach an agreement. How could they not seize the opportunity.
In the following time, the negotiation teams of both sides were at war with each other. Jinggao occasionally interjects a few words to learn more about the situation.
By 11 p.m., negotiations were still going on. HNA’s team insists on selling its 73% stake in Hong Kong Island Airlines for US$1.95 billion, plus the wholly-owned Jinpeng Airlines, as well as a soft asset fee. This is a package price. At the same time, it sold its stake in Uber for $280 million.
When Wang saw that he was fifty-seven years old, he wore glasses, his Chinese character face was no longer as energetic as before, it was faintly sad, and his hair was gray, he said: "Let's take a rest. Have some midnight snacks, and we will continue talking later."
Jing Gao nodded, "Okay. Mr. Wang, let's talk alone."
The dozen or so people in the conference room immediately looked at Jing Gao, and everyone understood: the boss had to make a decision.
"Okay!" Wang Jian smiled and said calmly. Invite Jing Gao into his office.
HNA's building is located on the main road in Haikou. The entire building is 138 meters high. It is a landmark building in Haikou. The overall appearance is a bit like Dubai's famous seven-star hotel Burj Al Arab. Standing in Wang Jian's luxurious office, looking at the night view of Haikou's urban area, it feels like overlooking the city.
Wang Jian poured a glass of red wine and stood next to Jing Gao: "Mr. Jing, I made you laugh." The young man in front of him was once likely to become his son-in-law, but his current business crisis Heavy, the building will collapse. What qualifications does he have to propose marriage on behalf of his youngest daughter?
And its wealth is definitely among the top three in the country. Even though the names on the richest list are changing. Hanergy, Wanda, Alibaba, Tencent and Evergrande are engaged in photovoltaic power generation. However, among those who are really working hard in the shopping mall, who can’t see the rising momentum of the Phoenix Group?
Who can't see that Jing Gao deliberately hides his wealth? Uber is going public, the world's first listed travel giant. Will such a high-profile fortune actually decline? Who are you lying to? Not to mention that not long ago, Jing Gao stepped on Li Jiacheng in Hong Kong Island and established his name.
The Hurun Wealth List may have accepted Phoenix Group's invitation, but Forbes is just guessing. Because Phoenix Group's equity relationships are becoming more and more complex, it is impossible to guess how much money Jinggao has from public information. It is obviously impossible for Jing Gao to proactively provide personal wealth data to Forbes.
The outside world's current speculation on the strength of Phoenix Group can only be based on the financial reports of its major companies.
He personally estimates that Jing Gao's wealth will not be less than US$50 billion. This is a quite exaggerated figure. As for someone as wealthy as Jing Gao, he didn't have such a luxurious office overlooking the city, so he said it to make Jing Gao laugh.
Jing Gao smiled slightly, raised his glass to invite a drink, took a sip of red wine, and said: "Mr. Wang, I intend to enter the aviation industry. Hong Kong Island Airline has operations around the world, although it is not large, it is very suitable for me to develop it. Vision.
Let’s open the window and make a clear statement. I can accept the price of $280 million for Uber’s equity transaction. However, the package price of US$1.95 billion for Island Air and Jinpeng Airlines was too high. I am willing to buy it at market price, which is US$1.8 billion. "
Wang smiled when he saw it. He was only willing to agree to this price. The cost of raising a well is US$150 million. Isn’t this a small amount of money?
Jinggao continued calmly: "Business is business, and friendship is friendship. I am willing to facilitate the Bank of East Asia to lend US$1 billion to HNA Group to solve HNA's urgent needs."
The Phoenix Group's negotiation team has worked hard for several months, and he can't just erase it just because he wants to. You still have to take care of the emotions and enthusiasm of these subordinates. He used other methods to help HNA.
These words directly caused the expression on Wang Jian's face to freeze, and excitement instantly filled his body.
Mr. Jing, you are my father now.
