Chapter 807 Please help alleviate the crisis of Hengtai Group
In the end, it was Wang Yanshuo who spoke first and broke the silence.
After all, he has the lowest status among the three.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for taking the time to invite me. On behalf of Hengtai Group, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup in front of him and toasted Lu Feng from a distance.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wang, you're being a bit awkward. After all, I'm also a shareholder of Hengtai Group. How can I not come when the chairman summons me?"
Lu Feng responded with a smile, keeping a very humble attitude, and not putting on airs at all just because Hengtai Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.
After all, no matter what, Hengtai Group has been glorious, and Hu Yintang and Wang Yanshuo are both well-known bosses.
“Yes, Yanshuo, Mr. Lu is now also a shareholder of Hengtai Group. You said this as if Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu are outsiders. You should be punished.”
Hu Yintang on the side immediately responded, and after hearing what his chairman said, Wang Yanshuo immediately slapped his mouth lightly a few times.
"Look at me, I can't talk. Mr. Lu is now the third largest shareholder of our group. I do deserve a fine, but this is a teahouse and there's no alcohol. So I'll serve tea instead of wine."
"Mr. Wang, there's no need to be like this. Mr. Hu was just joking."
Lu Feng smiled slightly, picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all.
Looking at Lu Feng's humble look, Hu Yintang nodded secretly. It was definitely not a coincidence that this young man could reach this point. Perhaps he could really save Hengtai Group.
In the following time, the two sides talked about many things, from various industries to competition between companies, but no one talked about Hengtai.
Among them, Hu Yintang and Wang Yanshuo did not want to talk, but were a little embarrassed. After all, they were once powerful figures, and now they suddenly had to take the initiative to ask for help from a young man who was almost the same age as their son. They really couldn't save their face.
Although they had prepared themselves mentally when they came, it was not so easy to say it when the words came to their lips.
The reason why Lu Feng didn't speak first was because he wanted to take the initiative in the subsequent conversation.
To be honest, he can solve the predicament of Hengtai Group. For others, Hengtai Group cannot be saved without the intervention of the state, but this is not the case for him.
First of all, the main problem of Hengtai Group now is that it is burdened with more than 2 trillion yuan in foreign debt. This amount of money is enough to scare off any entrepreneur, but he is not one of them.
Because even if big guys like Li Zhengguo, Su Tiancheng, and Shen Muyun don't help, he can pay off the debts by himself.
Don't forget, he also owns a 2% stake in that huge oil mine in Africa.
Don't underestimate this 2% stake. According to the approximate scale previously explored by Snake's team, this oil field can produce a total of 50 trillion US dollars of oil.
Two percent of fifty trillion is one trillion US dollars, and one trillion US dollars is seven trillion Chinese yuan.
This money is enough to repay the debt owed by Hengtai Group.
Some people may say that oil extraction takes time, and how is it possible to extract 2 trillion Chinese yuan worth of oil at once?
And even if it is mined, will the Yafit Group and the Hearn Family not want it?
Yes, this is indeed the case, but don’t forget one thing: once Hengtai Group goes bankrupt, the more than 2 trillion yuan will have to be borne by the banks and the people.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, the people above will not let Hengtai Group go bankrupt.
So once Lu Feng said that he could slowly repay the debt owed to Hengtai Group, the bank would not even ask for interest, as long as the principal could be repaid.
As for the time? That's not important.
But the problem now is that Hengtai Group is not worth Lu Feng doing this at all, because he only holds 10% of Hengtai Group's shares.
Sixty percent of Hengtai Group's shares are held by Hu Yintang, and the remaining thirty percent are held by four other shareholders.
He doesn't want to pay so much for a group that is not led by him.
That's why he didn't speak a word, in order to let Hu Yintang speak first, so that he could take the initiative and get more benefits.
As a veteran in the business world, Hu Yintang naturally knew his thoughts very well.
After sighing in his heart, he still chose to speak up, because he was the one who needed help from Lu Feng.
"Mr. Lu, now that things have come to this, I won't beat around the bush. You know the current situation of Hengtai Group. I wonder if you can lend a hand."
"I'm not asking you to completely save Hengtai. I just hope you can help Hengtai Group catch its breath."
There was a hint of pleading in Hu Yintang's eyes. After so many years in charge of Hengtai Group, this was the first time he had shown such a look to an outsider.
When Lu Feng heard Hu Yintang's words, he paused for a moment, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, frowned slightly, and said with a hint of embarrassment:
"Mr. Hu, you are also aware of the situation of Hengtai Group. The market has been changing rapidly in recent years, and Hengtai has accumulated problems for a long time. It is really difficult for me alone to turn the tide." He gently put down the teacup, stroking the rim of the cup with his fingers, and his eyes seemed to glance away casually.
Hu Yintang's heart tightened when he heard this, but he still didn't give up. He leaned forward slightly and said anxiously, "Director Lu, you have repeatedly created miracles since entering the business world. Many groups on the verge of bankruptcy have been revitalized in your hands."
"I believe that as long as you are willing to take action, Hengtai Group will definitely get a chance to breathe." His eyes were full of expectation, staring at Lu Feng closely, not missing any changes in the other's expression.
Lu Feng leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and looked up at the ceiling, as if in deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"There is a way, but the price I have to pay is too high, so high that it is unimaginable." He did not look directly at Hu Yintang, but just shook his head slightly, as if regretting the "price" he was about to pay.
Hu Yintang understood the meaning of Lu Feng's words. Although he felt a little helpless, he could only continue to speak in accordance with what the other party said.
He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lu, I won't ask for your help for nothing. If you have any conditions, just ask. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."
As he said this, he was secretly thinking in his heart, wondering what kind of harsh conditions Lu Feng would put forward, but now that Hengtai Group was in danger, he had no choice.
When Lu Feng heard this, his originally lazy temperament instantly became extremely sharp. The sharp aura came over him, surprising Hu Yintang and Wang Yanshuo who was sitting next to him.
