Le président de HNA meurt d'une chute en Provence
Le cofondateur et patron de l'un des principaux conglomérats chinois avait énormément investi à l'étranger ces deux dernières années. A tel point que le gouvernement chinois lui avait intimé de réduire la voilure. Ce qu'il avait commencé à faire. La succession de Wang Jian va devoir se faire rapidement.
CEO de HNA
Le groupe déjà sous les feux des projecteurs ces derniers mois en raison de la démesure de ses investissements et de sa situation d’endettement se retrouve à nouveau en première ligne. Pour des raisons tragiques cette fois, puisque l’on apprend ce matin que le cofondateur et président du conglomérat chinois HNA, Wang Jian, est mort hier en France.
L’homme de 57 ans, a effectué une chute accidentelle alors qu'il se trouvait en voyage d'affaires en Provence et n'a pu être réanimé, a précisé le groupe dans un communiqué. Une bien sombre nouvelle alors que HNA fait face non seulement à une crise de liquidité mais aussi aux récriminations de son gouvernement qui redoute une fuite des capitaux et un endettement excessif de ses fleurons.
Rappelons que HNA a été créé en 2010 mais a surtout commencé à investir à l’étranger à partir de 2016. Cela a commencé par l’acquisition du grossiste en matériel informatique Ingram Micro pour 6 milliards de dollars en février. En avril, il annonce l'acquisition de Carlson qui comprend les marques Radisson, Park Plaza avec 1.400 hôtels. En juillet, il prend 63,5% de Gategroup, entreprise suisse de restauration dans le transport aérien mais aussi le contrôle d’un autre groupe suisse, SR Technics, spécialisé dans la maintenance d’avions. Il confirme ainsi son intérêt pour l’aérien et ses services, HNA étant également propriétaire d’une compagnie aérienne chinoise : Hainan Airlines. D’où sa soif d’actifs collatéraux autour du tourisme (hôtels, services hôteliers, centres de vacances).
L’an passé HNA s’est distingué en Europe en acquérant une participation dans Pierre & Vacances (9,99%) mais aussi d'environ 10% dans Deutsche Bank, arrivant ainsi aux premières loges des actionnaires aux côtés du Qatar. En tout, le groupe a ainsi investi plus de 40 milliards d’euros en l’espace de 2 ans !
Mais l’heure des comptes est vite arrivée et ce, avec d’autant plus d’acuité que la Chine a voulu reprendre les choses en mains. Et HNA, comme ses homologues Wanda, Anbang ou Fosun, ont été rappelés à l’ordre. D’où la cession en début d’année de Park Hotel & Resorts pour 1,4 milliard de dollars. De même le Chinois a-t-il cédé des titres Deutsche Bank pour ne plus détenir que 7,6% de la banque allemande. Pour la plus grande satisfaction du gouvernement allemand qui ne voyait pas d’un bon œil cette intrusion, surtout au moment où son fleuron bancaire connaissait de sérieux signes de faiblesse.
Que va devenir HNA sans son cofondateur et président ? Cet événement non anticipé va sans doute reporter les projets orchestrés par Wang Jian. On peut toutefois logiquement penser que sa succession va être rapidement organisée. Les enjeux financiers sont tels qu’il n’est pas possible d’envisager un temps de latence. HNA emploie dans le monde 36.000 personnes. Ce qui en fait un mastodonte que la Chine ne va pas laisser évoluer entre deux eaux bien longtemps.
