Recently, Wang Jianlin, who is worth 140 billion, has returned to the "top ten on the rich list".
This time, Wanda Group's Wang Jianlin's financial difficulties have finally passed!
In the past year, Wang Jianlin has sold nearly 20 Wanda Plazas.
Not to mention other assets transferred.
The difficult moments of "being in debt" and "selling houses and cars" can be regarded as over.
But careful netizens found that Wang Jianlin did not stop.
Wanda is still in a "crazy sale" until now!
Compared with the "debt" period, Wanda after entering July has been focusing on accelerating the transfer of assets.
This time, the big deal shocked the whole network.
Wanda Plaza, which was once regarded as the "lifeline" by Wang Jianlin, is also a core asset, and it will be shot when it is said!
At this time, Wang Sicong also lost his inheritance rights, and Wanda changed hands without the surname "Wang".
As early as 2019, Wang Jianlin, who was "debt collector", said:
Other assets can be sold at will, except for Wanda Plaza!
"Any business can be lost, this is not good."
You must know that assets are always producing funds, and Wanda's annual rental income at that time was as high as 30 billion.
Many netizens can't work: Now that the crisis has been lifted, why do you still insist on selling?
Could it be the same as the one spread on the Internet, wanting to pick up Wang Sicong's "daughter"?
Especially recently, a hot search of "Wang Sicong: "I will have money for you next year" rushed to the first place.
It can be seen from this that Wang Jianlin's crisis will be completely lifted next year.
So many people don't understand, after the VAM crisis is resolved, why doesn't Wanda stop "selling assets"?
Relevant high-level revealed: There are two reasons.
First, Wanda still can't operate normally and must "save itself".
The cruelty of the business war, without the support of the big banks, can only be like this.
Even if he is worth 140 billion, Wang Jianlin still has to pay a painful price for the previous VAM agreement.
This price can only be "stopped" by giving up one's own hard work.
Second, Wanda sees new business opportunities and is trying to transform.
Lao Wang deserves to be Lao Wang!
In the case of a bad market, you can still "break the wrist of a strong man" so hardly.
This time, Wanda's strategic transformation still adheres to the asset-light strategy of Wanda Group.
Selling "excess assets" may be the most needed thing for Wanda to "travel light".
Two failed "bets".
Everyone knows that Lao Wang is a "real person".
At that time, "100 million" was just a small goal, and he would calmly accept the "defeat" after experiencing setbacks.
According to relevant media reports, Wang Jianlin signed a "VAM agreement" for the first time in order to successfully delist from Hong Kong.
At some point, Wang Jianlin, who was worth more than Ma Yun.
In the mainland market, it has reached the point of "only me".
So Wanda set its next target in Hong Kong, China.
I didn't expect this "small goal" to plunge Wanda into another crisis.
After Wanda entered the Hong Kong market, in just half a year, the stock "opened high and went low".
Lao Wang looked at it, the state is not right!
Until 2016, the stock fell to 13 Hong Kong dollars lower than when it was first listed.
Wang Jianlin finally woke up and had no choice but to "stop the loss in time".
A secret order was issued: to immediately recover Wanda shares listed in Hong Kong at a high price!
According to relevant data, this time Wang Jianlin took in 34.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
This means that the "Wanda Group" has withdrawn from the Hong Kong stage.
But it's easy to enter, but how can it be so easy to exit?
34.5 billion is more than 300 small goals for this Wanda CEO.
Lao Wang, who was on the "hot pot", finally bowed his head to the "consortium".
The contents of the VAM include: the consortium has scraped together 34.5 billion yuan to finance Wanda to help Wanda withdraw from the Hong Kong market.
However, Wanda Group is required to be listed on the mainland before 2018.
This pair of "strategizing" Wang Jianlin is not a problem at all.
But this "rushed" gamble made Wanda "sick and sick".
In 2017, Wanda's internal credit risk was "checked" to increase!
Since then, loans from major banks have stopped servicing Wanda.
This also means that Wanda's capital chain is completely broken.
In desperation, Wang Jianlin had no choice but to embark on the road of "selling property".
Even Wanda's headquarters in Beijing was sold.
However, it is difficult to solve the current dilemma in how to sell.
Fortunately, at this time, Tencent CEO Ma Huateng did not stand by and help!
Ma Huateng cooperated with the entrepreneur team to help Wanda raise more than 30 billion funds at one time.
Since then, Ma Huateng can be said to be Wanda's "savior"!
The second VAM agreement signed by Wang Jianlin is directly related to the first time.
After losing the first bet, he was asked to sign the second time.
Wanda is required to be listed in 2023, otherwise it will have to pay high interest and liquidated damages.
Later, Wanda, under Wang Jianlin's amendment, submitted four listing requests.
It's a pity that they were rejected one by one.
So, Wang Jianlin failed again without surprise.
Some netizens couldn't hold their breath: they were obviously "slaughtered", and the first time the gambling failed, it could barely be said that it was bad luck, and the second gambling could not be put on the market.
After two failed bets, Wang Jianlin's ambitions gradually cooled, so he had to sell Wanda one by one.
However, after experiencing two failed VAM agreements, you can still get out of the whole body.
Now that he is "making a comeback", he is worth 140 billion yuan and is back on the rich list, which is really emotional: cattle!
Wang Sicong: Our family can sell anything, but we won't cash out and run away
Not long ago, some media ridiculed the rich second-generation Wang Sicong:
"I heard that your Wanda has been sold, and now you are starting to sell the house?"
After listening to this, Wang Sicong not only did not have an inferiority complex, but replied disdainfully:
"Our family sells everything, but we don't throw our baggage to society."
Such an answer is exactly the same as that of his father Wang Jianlin!
Wang Jianlin was once asked in a program whether he would immigrate to United States like a certain real estate tycoon?
Lao Wang, who has always been sincere, spoke directly:
"I can say something to reassure everyone, I will never cash out and run away."
Judging from the facts, Lao Wang is still very open in this matter.
The commitment of father and son to social responsibility is admirable.
I remember many years ago, Wang Sicong said frankly:
When he went to study in United Kingdom, his father saw him off at the airport.
At that time, only four words were said - "rejuvenate China"!
Although this sentence was ridiculed by many netizens, only now do I know the weight of this sentence.
It is worthy of being a soldier!
Wang Jianlin, who is dressed in red cells, and his son, who was personally raised, is naturally "exposed to his ears and eyes".
Although Wang Sicong is recognized as a "playboy", the father and son have nothing to say about being a man!
According to relevant sources, I heard that Wanda does not owe money to suppliers either, and this time they sold it all!
Dare to start over, dare to take the mistakes, such a reputable person, it is only a matter of time before he rises.
Some fans summarized Wanda Wang Jianlin's crisis:
It's strong, go home safely! Although he was tricked, at least he didn't go bankrupt and stepped on the sewing machine.
Wanda and Evergrande, which are also giants in the real estate industry.
When faced with the collapse of the bubble, the choices you make can see the level of character!
Xu Jiayin transferred all the money abroad and set up a trust fund to ensure the prosperity and wealth of his descendants.
And Wang Jianlin, the boss of Wanda, reduced his value to sell high-quality assets, and signed a listing VAM agreement to obtain funds to ensure the delivery of housing.
There's really nothing dark about it.
There were even netizens who commented: He wanted to run, but he couldn't run because of the border control......
I have to say that the malice of netizens is too great.
Only when he is insolvent will he run, and the money he can sell for his remaining equity is far more than the debt he owes.
Besides, being able to run or not is in line with Lao Wang's "strong" character!
The Wang family can have scandals such as "illegitimate daughters" to attract ridicule.
However, on the serious topic of national interests, the approach of the two of them is impeccable.
This time, Wang Jianlin re-became the ninth on the rich list, which also witnessed this point of view.
Compared with Xu Jiayin and others digging huge pits, Pan Shiyi is a good person, at least he didn't dig a pit.
In my heart, this is the corporate responsibility and social role model that a rich man should have.
The strong man broke his wrist so resolutely
Wanda Plaza has changed hands one after another, which does not mean that Wang Jianlin is down.
On the contrary, it confirmed Wang Jianlin's "far-sightedness".
After Wanda Group publicly left the real estate industry, real estate is not as "prosperous" as before.
"The real estate industry, in any developed country, can run rampant for half a century at most."
Obviously, China will not be an exception.
So, Wang Jianlin did not relent, and made up his mind to leave the industry that made him "make a lot of money".
It can also be seen that Wang Jianlin has a high sensitivity to the development prospects of the industry.
In addition, Lao Wang once entered the "football field" with enthusiasm and built the Wanda football team that is popular all over the world.
In 1998, after several twists and turns, he resolutely withdrew!
And publicly announced the reasons for the withdrawal in front of the media:
"There's so much darkness on the football field."
In addition, Wang Jianlin released his sincere words in anger:
In view of this current situation, Chinese football will not be able to get up and break out.
Many fans were deeply reluctant to speak for the Wanda team in desperation:
Even Wanda said that it was black, that is, it was really black!
After so many years, Lao Wang's words are still "echoing" on the football field.
Netizen: I didn't find it before, Wang Jianlin was really prescient!
It can be seen that Wang Jianlin's strategic vision is still very powerful, and every exit is just right.
Before the mask problem, most of the shopping malls and real estate were sold, so that Wanda retreated, and did not explode directly on the spot like Xu Jiayin.
Epilogue:
Looking at the national market, the development of e-commerce has gradually become a trend!
People's consumption habits are also changing, and it is indeed becoming more and more difficult to operate physical malls.
From this point of view, Wang Jianlin's transformation is very necessary.
Today, Wang Jianlin is no longer as humorous and confident as before.
Thin and thin, he reappeared again, like a "little old man".
"Crazy sale" of your life's work will inevitably be a little sad.
I look forward to Wang Jianlin leading Wanda's transformation to success and reaching the pinnacle of life again!
