Chapter 4018 True Brothers
The operation of the Second Financial Group is extremely efficient. Lin Feng adopts a laissez-faire management model for the entire financial group, which greatly cultivates the independence of each president. Although this will also bring some hidden dangers, such as the presidents of each company being too independent, leading to rebellion, or the emergence of selfishness and egoism.
However, this does not exist for the current Second Financial Group. Lin Feng's personal influence is too great, his prestige is too high, and the domineering power he has shown over the years has made every president convinced, and no one dares to betray Lin Feng. This is just like the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Cao was alive, there were so many civil officials and generals, but they were all extremely loyal to the Cao family. But after Cao Cao died and Cao Pi ascended the throne, his ruling power and sense of belonging were too different. When Cao Pi's descendant Cao Rui was in power, this ruling power was even worse. This is why Sima Yan later usurped the throne.
Now Lin Feng is in the heyday of the entire group. As long as Lin Feng is alive, no one will dare to rebel. As for whether the descendants will still have such a strong control over the company, this is not something Lin Feng needs to worry about for the time being. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and there is no need to worry too much about the descendants. Moreover, Lin Feng is not yet in his prime. In other words, Lin Feng is still so young and does not need to worry about anything.
Thirty years later, Lin Feng will only be 57 years old, and fifty years later, he will only be 77 years old. Can you imagine Lin Feng's control in thirty years? What about fifty years later?
'Boss, what should we do now?' Lin Chiling thought about it and asked hesitantly, 'Boss. Do you really have no solution? "
Lin Chiling is responsible for managing Lin Feng's personal account. She is naturally very familiar with Lin Feng's funds. At present, there is no money in Lin Feng's personal account. However, Lin Chiling is not too worried about this. She knows that there are still many things about Lin Feng that she doesn't know. Although she doesn't ask, like most people, she is also convinced that Lin Feng can easily solve this debt crisis. But looking at Lin Feng's expression, it seems that there is a little difficulty. This makes Lin Chiling a little confused.
"Of course there is a way. But before that, I want to see what means the other party has this time. "Lin Feng said with a smile.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Let's see what the other party has first. As far as we know, the other party has made arrangements in advance, so that his biggest cash cow, Dingdang.com, cannot withdraw funds. Originally, most merchants would not deposit or withdraw cash from Dingdang.com immediately, because they believed in Lin Feng's reputation and believed that it was the safest to keep money here. It is safer than a bank, and you can withdraw money anytime and anywhere.
But now this rumor has come out, it is rumored that Dingdang.com will use the funds for other purposes, and call on all merchants to withdraw cash immediately. Although not many merchants do so at present, once Lin Feng withdraws a large amount of funds, then It's hard to say. What if all merchants withdraw funds? That will cause a run on Alipay. That's not good.
So,
'Dingdang.com' has been abandoned. Just now Lin Feng said that all major companies should prepare two plans. This is just to prepare for the worst case scenario. In fact, Lin Feng will not withdraw funds from it. Not only will he not withdraw funds from 'Dingdang.com', but he will also not withdraw funds from other companies. Especially from listed companies, Lin Feng will not withdraw funds. Otherwise, the China Securities Regulatory Commission will not let him go. Lin Feng firmly believes that this time, since Khalifa II has chosen to tear his face and repay the loan himself, there must be other means behind it.
"What should we do next?" Natalie asked.
"Let's see what the four major banks say! "Lin Feng chuckled.
Randomly, Lin Feng called the four major banks and got an intriguing result. The four major banks all said that they could lend money to Lin Feng, but it was a bit difficult to withdraw funds at present. Now is the beginning of the year, and it is the most difficult time for banks to withdraw funds. It is a bit difficult to withdraw 80 billion US dollars suddenly. Of course, they will try their best.
"Boss, what does this mean? What do you mean by trying your best?" Melissa asked curiously. This is either agreeing or not agreeing. What does it mean to try your best? She really doesn't understand what this means.
"Haha, this is the connotation of Chinese. Try your best, this is a word that cannot be quantified, and it is extremely emotional. You don't know whether the other party has tried his best. He doesn't do anything, but he can also say that he has tried his best. He has done everything. If you want to be strong, you can also say that he didn't try his best. The four major banks said so, obviously delaying! "Lin Feng said lightly.
Delay? Delay what? The three women didn't understand politics very well, this was too profound. Moreover, women themselves were extremely repulsive and resistant to politics.
"Haha, my repayment period is only 15 days, and today is the first day. They are trying their best to delay me for a few more days. When I get anxious and have no time, they can naturally ask for a high price. If they reject me now, it would be equivalent to completely tearing their faces with me. They naturally don't want to offend me completely, at least without any benefit. And now they are putting forward conditions, I still have plenty of time, and they are putting forward conditions now, which is undoubtedly a bit of a kick when I am down. This, if exposed, will not be good for them. So, delaying until time is not enough, it will be good for them. "Lin Feng said with a sneer.
The three women were stunned. The word "try your best" revealed too much information. Is this the connotation of Chinese!
"What should we do next?" the three women asked.
"Haha, let's look at other aspects." Lin Feng said with a smile, "Let's see what other tricks Kandi has."
Soon, Lin Feng called his friends. However, the results are not very optimistic. Originally, through these friends, Lin Feng was able to temporarily borrow a lot of funds. But what’s very interesting is that the stocks of all my friends’ companies have been suppressed, and they can’t raise much money at all. Ellison, including Ellison, can only allocate up to US$2 billion in cash to support Lin without selling stocks. Wind, no matter how much it is, there will be no more.
After all, a super rich man like him actually has more funds in the stock market, and it is impossible for him to have so much cash. It's simply not possible to get a large amount of cash unless you sell the stock.
"Lin, how about I use my stocks as collateral to get a loan? I can probably get a loan of US$30 billion!" Ellison suggested.
The 60% of Oracle shares held by Ellison currently have a market value of nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars. However, if you want to borrow money, it is impossible to borrow 50 billion U.S. dollars. And it's obvious that someone is suppressing Oracle's stock recently. If he wants to borrow money, the price will definitely be suppressed.
"Allison, don't be impulsive. How can I ask you to mortgage your hard work on my matter? If you really mortgage, the other party will definitely suppress the stock and put forward various harsh conditions. So, don't do it Any impulsive behavior. Besides, even if the stock is pledged, it should be the company shares in my name!" Lin Feng said gratefully.
Ellison is already 60, and he is long past the age of impulsiveness. However, he is extremely sincere to his old friend. He can give everything for his own words. This is a true brother. It can be said that Ellison is Lin Feng's biological eldest brother, but he was not born to the same parents.
"Lin, if you want to mortgage, I'm afraid the conditions proposed by the other party are even more harsh. This time it is clearly aimed at you. If you want to mortgage the company's stocks, you are sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. In this way, I will ask some friends first , see if we can mobilize funds." After Ellison finished speaking, he hung up the phone and started taking action.
Lin Feng shook his head lightly. These are true brothers.
Then I called Li Zekai and the others. Likewise, the funds in their hands could not be withdrawn. Their wealth was much worse than that of Ellison. It would be good to have hundreds of millions of dollars in normal working capital. And hundreds of millions of dollars, for Lin Feng, is simply a drop in the bucket. As for using the company's financial resources, the Securities Regulatory Commission in Hong Kong has stricter management. It will not allow you to borrow money just because you, Lin Feng, want to borrow money.
As for pledging stocks, they also mentioned it, but it was still rejected by Lin Feng. It’s a joke that I have trillions of dollars in capital and so many companies, only 80 billion U.S. dollars. If I ask my friends to mortgage my company’s stocks, am I still a human being?
"Master Feng, let's see how much money my family can use." Li Zekai said.
"Yes, let's go and see how much money our family can use." Tang Jiacheng and Zheng Zhiheng also said the same.
Three random people hung up the phone. However, Lin Feng does not have too much hope for this. The combined funds of the three families will not exceed US$50 billion. Of course, if you include the company's assets, it will be much more. However, the company's funds are the company's funds, and it is impossible for the three major families to take risks and use the company's huge funds for themselves. What's more, he has a trillion-dollar halo on his head! Will it be impossible to repay the US$80 billion?
It was as expected by Lin Feng. When Li Zekai and the other three asked about the family's use of funds to help Lin Feng, the answers they received were similar. Lin Feng was a friend of our family, and it was natural to help his friends. But the family does not have much funds, and the company's funds belong to all shareholders, not our family. If you use it casually, it will cause trouble for the entire company. Our families can allocate $2 billion each, but no more can be done. Besides, Lin Feng is worth a trillion dollars. If he is really short of money, he can easily get a large amount of funds by selling his company or taking out a mortgage. Will we be required to risk company funds?
The three of them were extremely embarrassed about this, and even didn't know how to face Lin Feng.
"Haha, okay, don't be embarrassed. It's me who's embarrassed! If you really want to help, just see how much money you can raise for me without affecting you!" Lin Feng said with relief. (To be continued)
