Phương Trang: Sân sau của ai?
Amidst the bustling realm of transportation, Phương Trang stands out as a formidable force, its presence gracing the highways and byways of Vietnam. But beyond its sleek buses and smiling staff lies a labyrinth of ownership that has raised more questions than answers.
The story of Phương Trang begins in the vibrant metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City, where the Phương Trang Bus Company was established in 1992. Under the astute leadership of Nguyễn Trí Dũng, the company rapidly expanded, establishing its dominance in the intercity bus market. In 2010, FUTA Express was born as a subsidiary of FUTA Trans, a company with a registered capital of 130 billion VND.
Initially, Nguyễn Trí Dũng held the reins of FUTA Express, but the mantle of leadership has since passed to Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Trinh. However, the ownership structure of Phương Trang remains shrouded in mystery.
Public records reveal that Phương Trang was originally owned by a company called Phương Trang Group, whose shareholders included individuals and companies with close ties to Nguyễn Trí Dũng. In 2020, Phương Trang Group underwent a major restructuring, with Phương Trang Holding becoming the majority shareholder.
Fang Trang Holding, in turn, is owned by a consortium of investors, including Tran Thi Thai Huynh, Nguyen Manh Khang, and Nguyen Thanh Quy. While these individuals have publicly stated their involvement in Phương Trang, the exact nature of their relationships with Nguyễn Trí Dũng remains unclear.
The opaque ownership structure of Phương Trang has fueled speculation about hidden interests and potential conflicts of interest. Some observers have questioned whether Phương Trang’s remarkable success is a result of legitimate business practices or preferential treatment from influential individuals.
As Phương Trang continues to expand its empire, both in Vietnam and abroad, the questions surrounding its ownership will undoubtedly persist. Only time will tell whether the secrets held within its corporate maze will ever be fully unravelled.
