Chapter 338 Li & Fung Crisis (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  I was eating hot pot and singing, and suddenly I was robbed by a horse bandit!

  This is the line of Master Tang in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

   And now this situation fell on Li Feng Feng's family, eating hot pot and singing, suddenly a bolt from the blue fell on their heads.

  Feng’s father and son, three people, were eating side-stove at home, chatting about the price war in Xiangjiang’s textile industry, which was becoming more and more chaotic during the Vietnam War, and then the phone rang at home, and it was the company calling.

  Feng Guojing answered the phone in the servant's hand without paying attention, but when he heard the content on the phone, his face suddenly turned pale.

   "Daddy, Daddy!" Feng Guojing shouted to Feng Hanzhu from the restaurant.

  Feng Hanzhu walked over, and asked with a relaxed expression, "What's the matter? Chu Huan and Shen Bi have the results?"

  Feng Guojing said in a trembling voice: "Which batch of garment orders from the company has gone wrong!"

  Feng Hanzhu just drank a little wine and was a little tipsy, but Feng Guojing's words instantly sobered Feng Hanzhu.

  Dengdengdeng!

   Three steps and two steps came to the phone, and asked loudly: "What happened?"

  Feng Guojing hurriedly replied: "All the garment factories have called, saying that they can't order the zippers needed for the garments!"

   Hum!

  Feng Guojing only felt his eyes go dark, and wanted to faint. Seeing this, Feng Guojing quickly put down the phone in his hand and supported Feng Hanzhu.

   "I'm fine!" Feng Hanzhu resisted his physical discomfort and asked, "What's the specific situation?"

  Feng Guojing could only explain: "They didn't make it clear, they just said that all zipper orders had been given three months ago, and they can't buy zippers at all now!"

   "Why? Why are you notifying us now?" Feng Hanzhu said angrily.

  Feng Guojing had no way to give Feng Hanzhu an answer.

   "Go back to the company, go back to the company immediately!" Feng Hanzhu knew this sudden problem at this time, and it was likely to be the death knell for the collapse of Li & Fung Group.

   "By the way, call your uncle quickly and ask him to return to the company immediately!"

   "Also, you and Guo Lun went to various garment factories immediately, I want to know the specific reason!"

  Feng Hanzhu issued a series of orders.

   At this time, Feng Guolun had also come out of the restaurant. He hadn't figured out the specific situation yet, so he wanted to ask Feng Hanzhu and Feng Guojing.

But Feng Guojing had dragged him out of the living room at this time, and told Feng Guolun the matter on the way. Garment factories understand the specific situation.

   And Feng Hanzhu had already boarded the car and headed to Feng's Mansion!

   When the four of the Feng family reunited, it was already two o'clock in the morning the next day.

  In Feng Hanzhu's office, the atmosphere was so solemn that it was difficult to breathe!

According to Feng Guojing and Feng Guolun's understanding of the situation in various garment factories, they already know that the zippers they need for this batch of garments have been ordered three months ago, but at that time, the zippers of these garment factories The bosses thought three months was enough time for them to find a new zipper supplier.

   Faced with such a large order from Li & Fung Group, they naturally didn't want to give up, so they didn't tell Li & Fung Group about it at the time.

   It's just that the only thing left for this batch of ready-made garments is to install the zipper, but they found that the zipper could no longer be ordered. As a result, they had to notify Li & Fung.

   "Guo Lun, how is your contact going?"

  Feng Hanzhu understands that this is not the time to pursue responsibility, but to ensure that the ready-made garments are delivered on time, otherwise Li & Fung will face three times the compensation, which is 300 million Hong Kong dollars!

   Neither the Li & Fung Group nor their Feng family can come up with this cash. If this is the result, then their Li & Fung will only have one result, liquidation and bankruptcy!

  Thinking of the consequences, the four people in the office were drenched in cold sweat at the same time.

Feng Guolun said decadently: "I have already contacted. There are zippers in Europe and the United States, but there is no time to wait for the shipment from there. The inventory of zipper suppliers in Southeast Asia is simply not enough to meet this batch of orders. Xiangjiang's zipper supply Merchant. Their inventory has already been bought in advance!"

  The office fell into a brief silence, which was a dead silence. The four of them never thought that there would be problems with this batch of orders.

"Daddy, this matter is my fault. If I hadn't advocated signing this batch of orders at the beginning, if I could pay attention to this matter every moment after signing this order, things would not have happened. It is now!"

  Feng Guolun was silent for a while and admitted his mistake to Feng Hanzhu.

  Feng Guojing said: "This time, it is obvious that someone is targeting us. This is a game in itself!"

  Feng Hanzhu, how could Feng Muying not think that this is a situation, but the most important thing now is how to break this situation, otherwise, Li & Fung Group's decades-long foundation will be destroyed in their generation!

  Feng Hanzhu said loudly: "Guo Lun, you should immediately contact the European buyer to see if they can give us a period of time. Now only time can save us!"

   "Daddy, it's very likely that the other party is playing tricks. What's the use of looking for them now?" Feng Guojing said angrily.

  Feng Hanzhu glared at Feng Guojing, and said: "If it works, you have to try it, otherwise we just wait here?"

  Feng Guojing didn't dare to speak anymore.

Feng Hanzhu immediately said to Feng Muying again: "Brother, go and contact the other members of our Feng family right now. This is a time of life and death for our Feng family. They must help. Let's see how much cash each family has. , all ready to come out!"

  Seeing that Feng Muying was a little silent, Feng Hanzhu could only say: "Just tell them, if Li & Fung collapses, everything they have now will disappear!"

  Feng Muying sighed: "I believe they are all willing to help Li & Fung, but even if they put together all the cash in their hands, it is impossible to have 300 million!"

The market value of the entire Li & Fung Group is only 300 to 400 million Hong Kong dollars, and the members of the Feng family basically rely on the dividends of the Li & Fung Group to live, and these people are the same as other rich families in Xiangjiang. As much cash as I keep in my hand, more of it is invested in stocks and real estate.

   "Let's make up as much as we can. After daylight, we will contact the banks immediately, and we must find a way to make up the 300 million Hong Kong dollars!"

  Feng Hanzhu naturally knew this, so they still needed to contact Xiangjiang's bank and their friends.

First of all, Feng Guolun told everyone present the first bad news. Europe did not agree with their delayed delivery time, and directly pointed out that if Li & Fung Group could not deliver on time, they would immediately sue Li & Fung Group. bring the action.

   This means that the time is not allowed, otherwise Feng Guolun must fly to Europe in person.

  Although they had already guessed the answer, after hearing the other party's answer, everyone was still silent for a while.

After arriving at Tianguang, Feng Muying brought news that everyone in the Feng family was willing to provide cash assistance after knowing the current problems of Li & Fung Group, but the total cash in the hands of these people was only about 10 million Hong Kong dollars. The compensation in Hong Kong dollars is simply a drop in the bucket.

   In addition, Feng Guojing also calculated that the liquidity in the hands of Li & Fung Group at this time was only 30 million Hong Kong dollars!

  Although Feng Hanzhu has always stated that the company must guarantee at least 50 million Hong Kong dollars in liquidity, after this order is placed, Li & Fung Group will inevitably use up some of its liquidity.

   What's more, at that time, Feng Hanzhu just wanted to guarantee, but Li & Fung Group has never maintained a liquidity level of 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

   "We can sue those garment factories!" Feng Guolun preached in a panic.

   Feng Hanzhu said with a sinking face: "It's useless, even if we sue them, it's too late to sue us in Europe!"

   When it was time to go to work, the four of them immediately started to split up. Some went to the bank for a loan, some went to acquaintances to borrow money, and some thought of other ways.

but.

When they came to the bank and found their friends, they all saw a newspaper in each other's hands, and Xiangjiang's newspaper today rarely reported the price war in Xiangjiang's textile industry, but reported the news of Li & Fung Group. this matter.

  The Feng family, who have been busy dealing with this matter, didn't have time to read the newspaper at all today, so when the person they asked for help put the newspaper in front of the Feng family, the Feng family completely panicked!

Bank of East Asia!

   "Khan Zhu, it's not that our Bank of East Asia doesn't want to help you with this matter, it's just that your matter this time is too big. If something goes wrong, even Bank of East Asia will be implicated. There is nothing we can do to help you!"

  Jian Yueqiang also preached to Feng Hanzhu very helplessly at this time.

As soon as this news is released, Li & Fung Group has actually fallen into a desperate situation. Think about it, this year, Hutchison International, one of the four major British foreign firms in Hong Kong, exists only because of the 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Bad debts, almost liquidation and bankruptcy, the difficulties faced by a company like Li & Fung Group can be imagined.

  Banks have never been the savior of companies. They are more willing to lend to companies with excellent qualifications. Before today, Li & Fung Group was such a company, but after today, Li & Fung Group will enter the blacklist of all banks in Xiangjiang!

   "Brother Jian, please help us Lifeng, as long as we can survive this time, we Lifeng will definitely remember Brother Jian's kindness!"

  Feng Hanzhu didn't want to just give up. Without the help of the bank, Li & Fung Group would definitely die this time!

Jian Yueqiang sighed, and said: "Khan Zhu, the friendship between you and me shouldn't have said these things, and you also know that although I am the chairman of the board of directors at the Bank of East Asia, this is not my family's opinion. The amount of money is so large, even if I bring it to the board of directors for discussion, it will not be passed."

   "Then I should borrow less!" Feng Hanzhu asked tentatively.

  Jian Yueqiang understood what Feng Hanzhu meant, and it was nothing more than finding a few more banks, borrowing less in each bank, and striving to accumulate more.

   "If other banks don't know about this matter, maybe your idea can be successful, but now I'm afraid it's 10 million, and no bank is willing to lend to you!"

  Feng Hanzhu sat there feeling ashamed, feeling that the abyss was behind him.

  Seeing Feng Hanzhu's appearance, Jian Yueqiang couldn't bear it, and said, "Personally, I can lend you some, but it's just"

Feng Hanzhu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, no matter what, I want to thank Brother Jian. If our Feng family doesn't survive this time, when the Feng family starts again in the future, please invite Jane A lot of help, brother!"

At this time, Feng Hanzhu was already making plans for the following things. Even if he could borrow cash in Jian Yueqiang's hands, it would only be three or four million at most. It doesn't have any effect at all. Instead of wasting the relationship between the two parties like this, it's better to leave it for later.

Looking at Feng Hanzhu's appearance, Jian Yueqiang also heaved a long sigh. The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and I am sincerely not deceiving me. Before today, no one would have thought that Li & Fung Group, the second largest trading company in Xiangjiang, would suddenly encounter such a situation. Devastating blow.

  Although he knew that there was little hope, Feng Hanzhu went to Hang Seng Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and HSBC one after another after leaving Bank of East Asia, but all the answers he got were that there was no way.

   That night, Feng Jiazu's house!

   This time it was no longer an internal meeting between Feng Hanzhu, Feng Muying, Feng Guojing, and Feng Guolun. This matter involved the entire Li & Fung family, and naturally the entire Feng family.

   The second generation of the Feng family, Feng Lihua, who also has a pivotal position in the Li & Fung Group, speaks out at this time.

   "Big brother, third brother, how much is the company short of now?"

  Feng Lihua is the fourth daughter of Feng Boliao.

  As soon as these words were asked, the rest of the Feng family looked at Feng Hanzhu and Feng Muying.

  Feng Hanzhu sighed: "Two hundred and fifty million!"

  Hearing this sentence, everyone showed a look of extreme disappointment. It is impossible to collect the money in a short time.

   "Even if we pledge all the real estate and stocks of the whole family now, it will be too late!" Feng Lihua said helplessly.

  Feng Hanzhu nodded silently.

  The breath of despair began to spread in the Feng family's ancestral house. This is no longer a matter of whether they want to help, but a matter of absolutely nothing.

Throughout the day today, almost all members of the Feng family were mobilized. The Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their talents and wanted to raise funds, but the result was similar to that of Feng Hanzhu. The whole of Xiangjiang already knew about the Feng family. Some people in Daoyi may borrow some money, but compared to the problems Li & Fung Group is facing at this time, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

  Feng Lihua said in a deep voice: "I've been thinking about this for a whole day, and there are two things that are very strange!"

  Feng Lihua's words made everyone focus on her.

  Feng Muying said directly: "Fourth sister, if you have any ideas, just say it!"

Feng Lihua said: "When this batch of orders came down, the other party gave a higher advance payment and more profits, and it was a new company. We didn't think about it before, but now we have to think about it. The other party Was it premeditated?"

"It must have been premeditated. The fourth aunt was blinded by the interests in front of me at the time. I thought that the company needed more funds at that time, so I ignored this matter. Now that there is a zipper, it must be because the other party already has it. premeditated to do so."

  Feng Guolun immediately admitted his mistake.

  Feng Lihua nodded, and did not comment on Feng Guolun's mistakes in this matter. It is not a matter of pursuing these responsibilities now, and even if it is to be pursued, it will have to wait until the matter is over.

"I have already contacted the zipper manufacturers in Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island. Even if we increase the price, the other party does not have the stock for us. They say that all the stock has been bought in advance, which proves our guess. The other party must have planned to do this, so the question is, why did the other party do this?"

   Facing Feng Lihua's question, everyone didn't know how to answer for a while.

   "The second thing, how did many media in Xiangjiang know about this matter so quickly? They have already reported this matter clearly in one night, and even some senior executives of the company don't know the details."

   This is Feng Lihua's second question, but no one has answered her yet.

  Feng Lihua continued: "According to my analysis, although the other party is a European company, it is very likely that Xiangjiang's company is leading this matter!"

Hearing Feng Lihua's analysis, everyone's expressions turned pale. It is now confirmed that this business is a conspiracy against their Feng family. The other party has spent so much time targeting their Li & Fung Group, they always have to ask for something, is it for The 300 million compensation?

   "No, if it's for compensation, the other party won't report this matter through the media!" Feng Guojing brought up what he thought of.

  The rest of the people also nodded, agreeing with Feng Guojing's speculation.

  If the other party wants compensation, they will keep this secret now, so that Li & Fung Group can collect the funds in the shortest possible time, instead of exposing it, so that Li & Fung cannot borrow money!

  Feng Lihua continued: "If the other party is not for the 300 million compensation, then their goal is only one, and that is our Feng family's Lifeng Group!

  In Xiangjiang, who is interested in our Li & Fung Group? "

  In the minds of everyone, a figure instantly appeared.

   "I remember that when this order came out, it happened to be when our company was discussing how to deal with Chu Huan!" Feng Lihua took the lead in expressing her speculation.

   rub!

  Feng Guojing stood up angrily at this moment.

   "If it was really Chu Huan, how could he do this? In this fight between Chu Huan and Shen Bi, our Li & Fung Group risked offending Shen Bi and stood by his side!"

  Feng Guojing couldn't accept such a result. He thought that because of the problems between Chu Huan and Shen Bi, the Feng family and Chu Huan had completely turned their hostility into friendship, but now Chu Huan is actually plotting against their Feng family!

Feng Lihua sneered, and said, "Why can't Chu Huan do this? First of all, at the beginning of this plan, Shen Bi hadn't started the war with Chu Huan, and what Chu Huan wanted most at that time must be our Lifeng Group. Secondly, even if we have cooperation with Chu Huan now, but the rule, under such circumstances, Chu Huan can't do anything to Li & Fung Group?"

Speaking of this, Feng Lihua looked at Feng Guojing helplessly, and said: "Guojing, Guolun, although your two abilities are very good, you are still too young. This is not to say that shopping malls are like battlefields. Everything may become the cause of our Feng family's loneliness!"

   Facing Feng Lihua's reprimand, Feng Guojing and Feng Guolun didn't know how to answer for a moment.

   "By the way, who of you paid attention to the company's stock today? Is there any change?" Feng Lihua did not dwell on this matter, but continued to ask.

   Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one gave the answer Feng Lihua wanted. They are all busy with borrowing money today, so how can they have time to pay attention to the company's stocks!

  Feng Lihua immediately picked up the phone and called a securities firm she was familiar with, and soon learned about today's stock market situation from the other party.

Because of today's news reports, the stock price of Li & Fung Group was fractured at the opening of the market. The stock market crash has never passed, and every stockholder is like a bird of fright. Whenever something bad happens in a company, their company's stock price will definitely experience a large drop. fluctuation.

   Not to mention the current situation of Li & Fung Group.

But this is not what Feng Lihua is most concerned about. She wants to know if anyone has made a large sum of money in Li & Fung Group's stock today. If someone has such an operation, it will prove their previous speculation that someone is indeed planning to use this matter to Acquired them Li & Fung Group.

  The result made Feng Lihua and others despair.

  Today, someone placed an order to buy the shares of Li & Fung Group, and it is still the trend of getting as much as you want.

  Subsequently, Feng Lihua knew that it was Chu Huan's fiancée Cao Yunshang's Fengwu Securities who placed the order to buy the shares of Li & Fung Group!

  Everything is clear at a glance!

  Feng Guojing suddenly turned around and walked out of the hall: "I'm going to ask Chu Huan for clarification!"

  After speaking, regardless of everyone's persuasion, Feng Guo left the Feng family's ancestral house directly.

  Repulse Bay, inside Chu Huan's villa!

  Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang are in the study, discussing today's matters.

"As soon as the stock market opened today, the stock price of Li & Fung Group fell by 60%. At the beginning, there were only selling orders but no buying orders. Later, with the entry of Fengwu Securities, some people wanted to increase the stock price of Li & Fung Group and sell , but we did not accept the order, and later the other party restored the opening price, so we bought it!"

  Feng Lihua's analysis did not have any problems, and it was Chu Huan who targeted Li & Fung Group.

And the so-called European company was actually founded by Chu Huan's Star Investment registered in Bermuda, and Chu Huan's plan at the time was actually what it is now, using this order of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars to get Li & Fung Group to take the bait In the end, Xingchen Investment acquired the zipper again, which made Li & Fung Group unable to complete the order.

  The final result of the forecast is the same as now, which plunges Li & Fung Group into an economic crisis, and Chu Huan uses this opportunity to gain control of Li & Fung Group.

   It's just that during the implementation of this plan, there was a price dispute between Jiahu Textile and other textile factories in Xiangjiang, and at this time the Feng family chose to stand on their side.

At that time, Chu Huan still condemned himself a little bit in his heart because of this matter, but since the plan has been implemented, he must continue to implement it, and now the price war between Jiahu Textile and other textile factories in Xiangjiang has reached the end. Chu Huan also needs to use Li & Fung Group to make the final blow!

   Therefore, the control of Li & Fung Group must be in their own hands.

   "How many shares of Li & Fung Group do you hold now?" Chu Huan asked Cao Yunshang out loud.

   "13.7%" Cao Yunshang preached.

  Acquired 13.7% of the shares of Li & Fung Group in the market within one day, which already shows how unfavorable the Hong Kong stock market is to Li & Fung Group.

Then Cao Yunshang continued: "The Feng family holds more than 51% of Li & Fung Group's shares. Even if we buy all the outstanding shares of Li & Fung Group on the market, it is not as large as the Feng family's shareholding. Moreover, the Feng family is different from other wealthy families in Xiangjiang, they are very united, and it is impossible to disintegrate them from within!"

"I know this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used such a tactic back then. I could have started a takeover battle with the Feng family directly in the stock market!" When Chu Huan decided to acquire Li & Fung Group, he had already investigated Li & Fung Group clearly. up.

  If he directly launched a takeover and anti-takeover battle with the Feng family in the stock market, he would have no chance of winning. That's why Chu Huan asked Kelly to set up a company in Europe.

Cao Yunshang pondered for a moment before speaking to Chu Huan: "Is Li & Fung Group really that important? Even if you win this takeover battle, if someone exposes it, it will have some impact on your reputation in Xiangjiang .”

  Chu Huan's method of playing this time is indeed not so aboveboard. If Chu Huan finally obtains the control of Li & Fung Group by such a method, he will be quite critical of Chu Huan!

Chu Huan nodded seriously, and said: "It's important, it's too important. The raw materials for toys before and the raw materials for denim are all because we don't have a large trading company like Li & Fung Group in our hands. Although Li & Fung Group's The market value is not high, but if there is Li & Fung Group, then Jiahu Textile, Qingjin clothing, or even youth toys can truly form a closed loop from now on. From now on, as long as I don’t come here problem, then no one will be able to form any blows to these three companies!"

   "As for those reputations in the business world, I don't have time to worry about them at this time. No matter what means the winner achieves, the final reward will be cheers and applause!"

   Seeing that Chu Huan was so determined, Cao Yunshang stopped talking about it, but said, "Then I will go to the company tomorrow and instruct Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao to continue to purchase shares of Li & Fung Group!"

  Chu Huan nodded.

  Cao Yunshang said worriedly: "But even so, if the Feng family doesn't bow their heads, you still can't get the control of Li & Fung Group!"

  Chu Huan chuckled, and said: "What I want is the control of Li & Fung Group, not the entire Li & Fung Group. I believe someone from the Feng family will definitely come to discuss this matter with me!"

  When Cao Yunshang was about to ask, Qin Peng knocked on the door and came in, saying that Feng Guojing from the Feng family had come!
