On the morning of July 30, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Cuong (Cuong Do La) chaired the second annual general meeting of shareholders in 7 after taking the hot seat as General Director of Quoc Cuong Gia Lai Joint Stock Company (QCG) replacing his mother, Ms. Nguyen Thi. Nhu Loan. Ms. Loan was arrested and prosecuted on July 2024 related to the transfer of project 19-7B Ben Van Don, Ward 39, District 39, Ho Chi Minh City.

Returned to the board of directors after 6 years of withdrawal Quoc Cuong Gia Lai (QCGL), Mr. Nguyen Quoc Cuong is expected to handle the Phuoc Kien project with Van Thinh Phat as well as resolve problems in other real estate projects.

According to the court's ruling, QCGL paid Van Thinh Phat the amount of VND 2.880 billion that Sunny Land (an enterprise belonging to the Van Thinh Phat ecosystem) paid in advance for the purchase and sale of the Phuoc Kien project. Only then will QCGL be able to get back the project that is being distrained.

However, 2.880 billion VND is a large number and it takes time to collect enough. The difficulty is that the project's legal documents are currently frozen and cannot be used as collateral for any loans.

By the end of the first quarter of 2024, QCG had cash and cash equivalents of less than 30 billion VND. Large inventory, more than 7.000 billion VND, but most of it is in stuck projects. Total debt is more than 5.000 billion VND, of which loans and financial lease debt are about 570 billion VND.

It is unknown what will happen to Phuoc Kien and many other QCG projects after Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhu Loan was arrested and Mr. Nguyen Quoc Cuong took over, but QCG shares rose to the ceiling again in two sessions after falling nearly 30% previously.

Investors are hoping for a roadmap to sell 3 hydroelectric plants, promote inventory handling with completed projects, and sell the Marina Da Nang project so that QCG can collect enough money to pay for the project. Van Thinh Phat, received back the Phuoc Kien project.

However, on the contrary, some investors are concerned that the investigation of Ms. Loan is ongoing, so more time is needed to evaluate the business's prospects. Besides, the real estate sector in general still has many difficulties that need to be resolved.

Over the past decade, QCG has also had many scandals, not only related to the projects this company implemented but also many violations related to information disclosure. Business results are also weak.
