A coffee shop story.... true or fairy tale, you decide....
Heard that Ah Lim, just months after he shut down Genting HK under mountains of debts, registered another cruise ship company in Singapore called Resorts World Cruise... now, the company name and country of registration is significant, and I'll come to that later. When Genting HK went under waters, the company went under liquidation with the assets, mostly all the cruise ships in seize control by the China banks... the liquidators tried to revive the business but unable to because they couldn't find the experience nor experienced people to run it, which unknown to them at first, most went on to join the new company in Singapore.
Under Ah Lim's direction, his executives, all formerly from Genting HK, negotiated with the China banks to lease one of the newer ship, Genting Dream. China banks agreed because they think this is a better way to recoup most of their money, rather than to sell the ship as junk later, since there's no or little buyers.
Now, note that Resort World Cruise, although registered office is in Robinson Road, the management actually operates from the same offices as Resorts World Sentosa. With Genting Dream now in full operation and business seem to be thriving, there are plans to charter another two of Dream Cruises ships, the World Dream and Explorer Dream, both of which are detained in Singapore waters under the request of the China banks jurisdiction. Note that I said "charter", not "buy"... because simply there's no enough money to buy ..... yet, because banks are hesitant to loan large sums of money to the new cruise company....
Which brings me to this crux point. Because Genting Singapore is cash rich, with something like 3.5 billions $ in the kitty, Ah Lim is mulling making, Resort World Cruise as a subsidiary of Genting Singapore.... if that happens, obviously he can call on GSP for the loans from its billion dollars kitty. Is this a good idea? As I said, good or bad you decide. Uncles' view is that, short term, not a good idea, but in the long run, if all countries borders are fully open, and tourism's back to normal, it will definitely be a very good source of revenue to GSP, knowing how lucrative cruise business is in the past. Besides, since there's no more Japan Casino, there very little other frontiers for GSP to expand into. This could therefore be an expansion of earnings for GSP.
But do not lose sleep too much thinking over this, this is only in Ah Lim's plan, and it will not happen so soon... the earliest that he will go to the shareholders for the vote of support would be next year..... or maybe even later if the pandemic doesn’t improve.... but one thing for sure, if this story gathers momentum, and the world returns to normalcy, and the market, black or white, believes it is good ( in terms of additional source of revenue), the stock will fly....
As I said, this is coffee shop story, believe or not believe, up to you but most importantly is do your own dee dee....
When the black market players buy they never say why; when they sell, they never tell. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT.
