Wanda Group is caught in the capital vortex again, and the capital predators have entered, can Wang Jianlin protect his whole family?
Many people say that it is impossible for the scheming Wang Jianlin to be liquidated by capital, and he must have a backhand, what will this backhand be? Recently, Boss Wang suddenly made a move, and it seems that the capital chess game behind it is still not over.
Tianyancha APP shows that recently, Zhuhai Wanda Ruichi Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. has undergone industrial and commercial changes, and the original wholly-owned shareholder Dalian Wanda Commercial Management Group Co., Ltd. has withdrawn, and Wang Jianlin has been added as a wholly-owned shareholder.
It is worth noting that Wang Jianlin himself has not added any new foreign investment projects for many years, and Zhuhai Wanda Camerich Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. is currently the only 100% shareholding enterprise under its name.
This is too eye-catching, what does the scheming Wang Jianlin want to do?
Some careful people found that in 2023, Dalian Wanda Commercial Management will successively establish four enterprise management companies, namely Zhuhai Wensheng Enterprise Management Co., Ltd., Zhuhai Wanda Ruichi Enterprise Management Co., Ltd., Shanghai Wanda Ruichi Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. and Beijing Wangu Ruichi Enterprise Management Co., Ltd.
At that time, the market speculated that these four companies were likely to be important mediums for Wang Jianlin to divest heavy assets.
Sure enough, not long after its establishment, Zhuhai Wensheng successively acquired the project companies of Qinghai Xining Wanda Plaza, Guangdong Jiangmen Taishan Wanda Plaza and Shanghai Songjiang Wanda Plaza, and after the three projects were packaged, they were spun off to the name of everyone insurance at the end of May.
This time, Zhuhai Wanda Ruichi, which is 100% owned by Wang Jianlin, did not participate in any project operation, but what assets this company holds, what business it currently has, and how many employees it has are all secretive and mysterious.
However, Wang Jianlin has not moved for many years, and suddenly wholly owns a company, which cannot be a nominal shell, but must be a very important asset platform for him to control the future.
So, what does Wang Jianlin want to do?
People who are familiar with Wang Jianlin in the circle once said that Boss Wang always looked smiling in the early years, which was a kind of long-standing shopping mall, no pressure, and the chance to win, like the taste of old wine.
But in the past few years, Wang Jianlin has become serious, perhaps Wanda has put too much pressure on him, or his experience in the past few years, seeing through the vicissitudes of life, has become deep.
What the outside world has seen is that since the second half of last year, Wanda Group has started to sell and sell again, and this time Wang Jianlin is more decisive, selling Wanda Plaza, selling Wanda movies, and then selling Wanda Commercial Management.
On March 30, Wanda Group announced that it had received a new investment of 60 billion yuan, for which Wanda paid 60% of the equity of Dalian Xinda League, the main company of its commercial management sector.
The lead investor is PAG Investments, followed by CITIC Capital, Ares Management, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Mubadala Investments.
It is rumored that PAG Investment is a very fierce company, and most of the companies they invest in will use capital control to directly clear the original shareholders.
This can't help but make people sweat for Wang Jianlin.
There are also two suspicious aspects of this investment, and some people have already seen the clues.
The first suspicion is that Wang Jianlin actually sold 60% of Wanda Commercial Management's equity and became a minority shareholder holding 40% of the shares.
Although there are five companies as investors, according to the style of PAG Investment, it must have reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the other four, and the protagonist can only be PAG Investment.
The second suspicion is that the subject of the investment this time is called "Xinda Alliance", which is obviously a combination of Wanda and PAG Investment, and the two sides each take a word to combine.
This company was established on January 12, 2024, apparently a new company specifically set up for this investment, to control Wanda Commercial Management's platform.
The name of the company was changed before the investment! This situation is still rare, and it makes people see what it means to be fierce in capital.
In the face of a dangerous situation, with Wang Jianlin's character and years of accumulation in shopping malls, will he be caught with his hands tied?
Let's take a look at what Zhuhai Wanda Ruichi does.
According to the data, the business scope of Zhuhai Wanda Ruichi Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. includes enterprise management consulting, enterprise management, social and economic consulting services, information consulting services (excluding licensing information consulting services), property management, and non-residential real estate leasing.
Among them, "information consulting services, property management and non-residential real estate leasing" seem to be strongly related to commercial real estate operations, which seems to imply the direction of Wang Jianlin's new business?
We believe that no matter what Wang Jianlin wants to do, it is unlikely that he will secretly negotiate against Xinda Alliance, which has transferred equity and introduced war investment, which is his credit in the business world for many years, and he will not easily break it by himself, what he is looking for can only be a new direction.
No matter how old he is, Wang Jianlin is a person with dreams, he will not stop there, let alone lie flat, he will only take this opportunity to successfully complete the transformation and make a comeback.
Therefore, Wanda Group's sale of assets is definitely not enough to repay debts, but to reserve sufficient funds for a comeback, and when there is money in hand, the next trading is logical.
So, will this be the beginning of the changes in the Wanda Group? This kind of thing will definitely not be hidden, and I believe that there will be an answer in the near future.
