Since taking over the family business, it is clear that all Tung's efforts have not been recognized by the outside world. Creditors and banks have been urging him to repay his debts, which has made the once high-spirited shipping magnate breathless.

Debt collection is still a trivial matter, but once banks and creditors apply to freeze the Dong family's assets, it will be a huge disaster.

In order to keep the shipping company, Dong Jianhua has mortgaged all the properties that his family can mortgage. Once the funds are frozen, the Dong family and himself will be left with nothing in an instant.

If he can't get help from Yang Chen this time, then Dong Jianhua will have no choice but to announce to the outside world that Orient Overseas will stop trading on the exchange and apply for debt restructuring.

Debt restructuring is much better than bankruptcy and liquidation.

After all, if the Dong family is really bankrupt, not only Dong Jianhua will be unlucky, but the banks and creditors will also be unlucky.

After Dong Jianhua finished speaking, Yang Chen was silent for a while, then looked up at Huo Daheng on the side, and saw that he was also frowning. Yang Chen knew that Huo Daheng was obviously not easy to deal with this matter.

After all, if you want to solve the Dong family's difficulties, the amount of funds required is not a small amount. The debt of more than 20 billion, and the annual interest alone, is enough to crush people.

Later generations said that Huo Daheng rescued the Dong family, rather than inland borrowing Huo Daheng's help to save the Dong family. You must know that after Dong Jianhua sold the shares held by the Dong family to Huo Daheng, Dong Jianhua had become a migrant worker.

who.

But in the end, after OOCL weathered the difficulties, OOCL miraculously returned to the hands of the Dong family. In addition to being so generous inland, it was impossible for Huo Tycoon to take huge risks for no reason without asking for any compensation.

After the later Dong Jianhua returned to Xiangjiang, he directly gave up the family business and entered politics. Finally, relying on his own influence, he became the first brother in Xiangjiang.

You must know that the position of First Brother, in addition to being elected by the people of Xiangjiang, must also be recognized by the mainland. If you cannot gain the trust of the mainland, then it is impossible to sit in the position of First Brother.

The inland move was also the reason why the Dong family later moved closer to the inland.

However, Huo Daheng brought the other party to him at this time, which means that Huo Daheng himself has no choice for the time being, or he cannot guarantee that he can solve the Dong family's predicament. At the same time, the inland authorities have not yet planned to rescue the Dong family.

Yang Chen is a little hesitant now. It's not that he doesn't want to help Dong Jianhua. The main reason is that he is afraid of his intervention. If Dong Jianhua cannot continue to help the mainland and get close to the mainland in the future, and loses his position as the first brother, it will be over.

Yang Chen has not encountered the little butterfly storm yet, but he can change some things now.

For example, the development speed of the special zone. Thanks to his help, the development of the special zone today is much faster than in the previous life.

There is also the development of Northern Australia. In the previous life, Australia's development was still very slow even in the 21st century.

But now the population of Northern Australia has exceeded one million. Once all the Chinese family members immigrate in the future, the proportion of Chinese in Australia will reach one-fifth or even one-quarter.

This amazing change, the change is huge.

However, this is just a purely economic change, and the impact is not very big.

But Dong Jianhua is different. He doesn't know if he intervenes rashly, whether it will affect Dong Jianhua's future development, or change the future ownership of Xiangjiang's number one brother.

After all, this is no longer a purely commercial and economic issue.

Dong Jianhua is different from the chartering king Huo Tycoon. The latter's future changes will be too great, and the impact will be great.

Yang Chen has always been unwilling to do anything in politics. The reason is that he does not want to interfere too much in historical development. Once major historical events change, many of his advantages will disappear.

This is not a good thing for him.

"Achen" Huo Daheng couldn't help shouting.

"Uncle Huo, wait a moment." Yang Chen raised his hand and interrupted: "Let me think about it carefully, don't be anxious."

Seeing Yang Chen's hesitation, Huo Daheng thought that the other party was taking care of the relationship between Bao and Dong's family, so he said bluntly: "Achen, if you are willing to help with this matter, I will go and tell him about it."

"Don't worry, I won't make this matter difficult for you. I brought Dong here to you today."

"I believe your Uncle Bao is not such a carefree person."

"With the situation at OOCL now, there is no time to delay it any longer. If you have any conditions, you can raise them directly."

"Dong also said just now that as long as he keeps the brand name of Orient Overseas, as long as he can be given another chance to put Orient Overseas back on its feet, he can agree to anything he can."

Speaking of this, Yang Chen also knew that he had no choice but to shirk it. If he refused, Orient Overseas would face debt restructuring. At that time, even if Dong Jianhua didn't hate him, he would definitely not have a good impression of him.

If you help and get the gratitude of the other party, the position of the first brother in the future will all depend on the attitude of Dong Jianhua himself and the mainland.

If you don't help, then if the other party relies on the help of Mainland China and the Dong family's largest creditor, HSBC, to make a comeback, and then enter politics and become the first brother, then the relationship between the two families will not be much better even if they want to recover in the future.

On this earth, which is mostly covered with water, the importance of shipping is unquestionable. The huge demand inland in the future will make this world-wide shipping disaster disappear in a few years.

With the recovery of the world economy and the rapid growth of the inland economy, the shipping industry is a top priority. If he can control a huge fleet, he will have a certain say.

Now that Charter King's company Universal has been roped in by him, when the world's shipping disaster continues for a year or two, he can take the opportunity to acquire Universal, excluding the remaining shares held by Charter King.

At that time, after the charter king dies, he can take over Universal in one fell swoop, or directly use his status as a major shareholder to actually control Universal just like Alibaba later controlled Three Links and One Express.

After Universal sold old ships at low prices in the early days, its tonnage dropped from 20 million tons to more than 12 million tons.

If he injects more capital into Orient Overseas, then with the remaining six to seven million tons of Orient Overseas, the fleet he directly and indirectly controls will be even greater than when the charter king was at his peak.

The charter king's influence mainly comes from his huge fleet. At the peak of the charter king, leaders of various countries wanted to see him by name, even the elderly people in the mainland.

This shows how influential the shipping industry is.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Chen felt that this was an opportunity, as he just needed more ships to transport immigrants.
