Under heavy pressure, Wang Jianlin still had no choice but to "cut meat".
Although he is 70 years old this year, Wang Jianlin, the former richest man, is still active in the public eye, and his conversation is still so sonorous and powerful, but he is thin and lacks the grandeur of "earning 100 million small goals" in the past.
On a sunny Wednesday morning, Wang Jianlin held a rare internal meeting, but in the absence of any news, the sudden visit not only interrupted the meeting, but also took away Liu Haibo, a senior executive of Beijing Wanda Group and a close minister of Wang Jianlin.
Someone said: "This is a bit ruthless, and I don't have any affection!."But Wang Jianlin obviously can't take care of other people's opinions, he is still selling assets everywhere and asking for help, at the critical moment, Ma Huateng took decisive action to help him fulfill his unfulfilled wish.
Back then, in 2015, when Wanda was welcoming a glorious moment, a host asked Wang Jianlin: "Other men go to enjoy themselves when they are rich, why don't you?"Wang Jianlin replied with disdain: "I now have four or five billion dollars in assets in my hands, what do I want and can't get?"But I still have higher pursuits, and these superficial enjoyments are not rare!”
At that time, he was so high-spirited, but eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the four or five billion units in his mouth have changed from dollars to yuan, and have shrunk by more than half. What makes Lao Wang even more distressed is that he, who has "only" four or five billion assets left, must win the Wanda VAM agreement in less than a month, otherwise he will face a debt of up to 40 billion.
If it is all returned, then Wang Jianlin may really have "nothing".
In order to keep Wanda's "tinder", Wang Jianlin was forced to make a more difficult choice: sell its assets. According to Wanda's official announcement, since July this year, Wang Jianlin has signed equity transfer agreements with Sunac, Shenxian Rongzhi and other enterprises.
According to industry insiders, the reason for the suspension was Wang Jianlin's painful determination to transfer the remaining shares of Wanda Film to a company called "Shanghai Ruyi", which belongs to a cultural enterprise owned by Tencent. This is equivalent to changing the surname of Wanda Films from "Wang" to "Ma" from now on, and Wang Jianlin is no longer the actual controller of Wanda Films.
Coming to this point, Wang Jianlin was really forced to be helpless.
You must know that these many assets are all painstakingly created by Lao Wang, and Wang Jianlin's "small goal of 100 million" self-confidence comes from his industries all over the world, and Wanda Film is one of the few potential stock assets left in his hands. But it is not enough to free up his hand, and at this juncture, if he wants to completely solve Wanda's debt problem, the only way to completely solve Wanda's debt problem is to let Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management achievements go public.
Looking at the bigwigs in the real estate industry, Wang Jianlin is "trapped by debts", and Xu's has been enforced, and perhaps the real winner is Hong Kong's rich Li family. As early as 2017, he relied on real estate sales, cashed out 250 billion yuan and moved to overseas markets, and returned a few years later to promote the listing of his Chi-Med in Hong Kong, which made Lao Li earn tens of billions of yuan.
In addition to making money, Hong Kong Fu Li did not forget to pay attention to himself, it has long been rumored that he traveled thousands of miles to the United States to taste the results of a kind of "Levigin" slow decline, and it costs millions of dollars every year on this alone.
According to the "Nature" report, the above-mentioned substances originated in Harvard, and have been proved by research institutes in New South Wales, Cambridge and other countries to endogenously replenish cellular energy, boost various indicators of the body, and then slow down the degradation process, which has attracted widespread attention from the academic community.
In recent years, with the maturity of the relevant market and the development of science and technology, the iteration of the same name of "Levin" has been introduced into China with a cliff-like drop of more than 95% of the use threshold, and has been circulated in first- and second-tier cities in China through Qidong and Tianmeow, and has achieved nearly 100 billion revenue in less than three years, which shows how sharp the investment vision of Gangfu Li was back then.
Although it was a little backward to enter the "Levigin" track at this time, he also invested 150 billion yuan to set up a Wanda health industry chain, and perhaps he had the opportunity to show his strength in new fields.
To make a living in the business field, it is inevitable to fall for a while, Wang Jianlin once said in front of the public that he wants to "retire before 2020", which seems to be impossible at presentBut he still refused to admit defeat and always stuck to the front line of the business sea.
In fact, now Wanda really can't leave him, this time Liu Haibo was taken away, Wanda Film was suspended, Wanda Group can be described as internal and external troubles, as the helmsman Wang Jianlin, can only take on more responsibility, it seems to respond to Huang Guangyu's words: "The richest man" is like a wanted warrant, no matter who is on the list, it is difficult to escape the unfortunate fate.
Will Wang Jianlin finally succeed in getting out of the debt predicament and reinvigorating Wanda?How much practical help can Ma Huateng bring him?It depends on the listing process of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management this year, whether it can repay its debts and invest in new projects, which is undoubtedly a difficult and long month for Lao Wang.
