Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 12 012 [I Really Don’t Know]

Luo Qihong and Liang Botao chatted intermittently until Zhang Taotao came back.

"Mr. Luo, the current share price of Taohua Datong Food Company is 1.8 yuan. Do you need to buy it immediately?"

Zhang Taotao finally understood a little and was not as dull as before. However, he was still not comparable to Liang Botao.

"Buy all of Taohua Datong Food Company." Luo Qihong nodded and gave the order.

Zhang Taotao agreed and hurried to buy it without waiting for Liang Botao's instructions.

15 yuan may seem like a lot, but in fact it can't make a ripple in the huge stock market. 15 yuan was used to buy 1666 lots, or 83300 shares, of Taohua Datong Food Company stock.

Luo Qihong took the certificate and left.

Luo Qihong helped with some of the moving work, and occasionally did some odd jobs like cutting magazine edges.

Luo Zegui pushed a cart in and bent over to handle a magazine. There was a sexy girl on the cover. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was not wearing any clothes, but Luo Qihong and others didn't feel much, probably because they were used to it.

After loading the magazine onto the cart, Luo Zegui paused for a few seconds, then looked up at Luo Qihong and said, "The new equipment we bought at home has some overcapacity. I want to go to the newspaper office to take on some more business. What do you think, Ah Hong?"

Luo Qihong was a little confused. If he wanted to take on more business, then he could do it. It seemed that he had no decision-making power in this regard?! Why was he asking himself this?
"You know, you are the only one in your family who has been to college and knows a lot of things. Your elder brother and I don't know how to deal with people from the newspaper. Our current business is still taken care of by other people, so I want you to talk to the people from the newspaper to see if the printing volume can be increased?" Luo Zegui was not very willing to lose face.

Luo Qihong subconsciously didn't want to go. He felt that it would be better if the equipment had some excess capacity, because he didn't know when the machines would be repaired and the excess capacity could be made up.

But Luo Zegui had already spoken, and he couldn't refuse, so he nodded and said, "Have you made an appointment with the other company?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Zegui shook his head and said, "I don't know if you will agree, so I haven't told the other party yet."

"."Luo Qihong was speechless. Under such circumstances, he could only contact them himself. There was no need to let Luo Zegui intervene.

Since it was already evening, Luo Qihong planned to call again during working hours tomorrow.

The next morning, Luo Qihong made an appointment with the other newspaper company to visit them the next day. From the other party's tone, it seemed that there was a good chance of getting the business. Of course, this was just Luo Qihong's blind guess.

Luo Qihong poured a cup of tea for Lin Luoqi and smiled, "How is your new job going? Is it going well?"

Luo Qihong had heard some rumors about family infighting in his previous life. Although they were not as bad as killing each other, it was common for them to trip each other up, and some even teamed up with outsiders to set traps.

Perhaps the political system in the inland is different and not so tragic. Capitalist society adopts an elite system, so perhaps murders may happen.

"It's okay! It's just not as free as running my own company." Lin Luoqi didn't want to talk more about family affairs and simply glossed over it.

Of course Luo Qihong was not willing to listen. After all, this was something that would bring him trouble and would not benefit him.

"Are you here today to introduce me to any good business?" Luo Qihong asked with a smile. Lin Luoqi had just left not long ago, so he naturally would not say that he came to visit Luo Qihong, he must have something to do.

"Ah Hong, you guessed it right. I have something good to introduce to you, but I have conditions." Lin Luoqi smiled mysteriously, with a hint of cunning in it.

Hearing this, Luo Qihong felt that great luck had befallen him. "What are the conditions? Tell me about it." Lin Luoqi took a sip of tea, smiled and said seriously, "All the profits will be shared equally."

Luo Qihong thought for a moment and realized that the profits here were very lucrative. He said, "Okay! What kind of business is this? Are you secretly selling family assets?"

"Am I such a person? But you are half right." Lin Luoqi said with a smile, "The family company has some assets that need to be sold. I plan to let you be in charge. It will be a win-win situation for both you and me."

Luo Qihong nodded. This was indeed half correct. "Then I will continue to work for Master Lin."

The two teacups clinked together, and Lin Luoqi laughed and said, "What do you mean by working? This is cooperation. Although it's impossible to make a fortune, you can definitely get a small fortune."

"This is the information about the properties that are about to be sold. There are two luxury houses in the Saisihu Residential Building next to it and two floors of office buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui." Lin Luoqi took out the documents from his briefcase and handed them to Luo Qihong. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The office building in Tsim Sha Tsui has some problems. It has experienced a fire accident. It may be a little difficult to sell. But since you can sell even a haunted shop, this should not be a problem."

"Moreover, the bulk of our profits are from the office buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui. My family company is anxious to sell them and wants a price of only 7% of the market price. If we operate properly, we can get 2% of the profit."

Luo Qihong read the document, thought for a moment, and replied, "I suggest that we simply renovate the office building so that we can sell it at a high price."

Lin Luoqi asked, "What you said makes sense, but where do we get the money to renovate? The family company is unlikely to give us money for renovation, so don't think about it."

"What if we lend it to Hehong Real Estate Company?" Luo Qihong asked.

Lin Luoqi fell silent. He was thinking about how to handle this matter and whether there was any possibility of success.

"After the renovation, I have a way to sell it at the market price. The renovation cost may be 1%, but I can sell it faster. There may be some profit in the 1% renovation cost, which is a good thing for us." Luo Qihong continued to fool Lin Luoqi.

The profit from these two floors of office buildings is really huge, at least hundreds of thousands. For Luo Qihong, it is a great help to expand his original capital. If used in acquisitions, his assets can exceed 100 million yuan at any time.

Luo Qihong's eyes are full of money, which is extremely tempting.

"Okay, I'll go back and think of a solution." Lin Luoqi finally agreed, which made Luo Qihong breathe a sigh of relief.

Luo Qihong knew very well that the renovation costs were not large, but Lin Luoqi had just joined the family company and had not yet secured his position. It was already impressive that he could come up with such good assets. Now he had to lend money to Hehong Real Estate, so of course he needed some planning.

Lin Luoqi left before lunch, so Luo Qihong had to prepare to eat alone. Just then, three burly men pushed the door open.

The leading young man asked in a bad attitude, "Have you seen this woman?"

Luo Qihong was just about to greet her, but when he heard such an unfriendly tone and behavior, he suddenly felt a little disgusted. However, when he saw the woman's appearance in the photo, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

"Never seen him!" Luo Qihong replied calmly, and continued, "Gentlemen, if you have nothing else to do, the shop will close for lunch, and I will go eat too."

The young man frowned slightly. Unfortunately, he was not from the North Point Society. If he dared to cause trouble here, it would not be easy for him to get away. Moreover, Luo Qihong's attitude made him a little afraid.

"If you meet this woman, remember to call this number to inform us. There will be a generous reward." The young man placed a business card on the table and left with his two men.

Luo Qihong watched the gangsters disappearing from his back. He was no longer so focused on eating lunch. Instead, he thought of Guan Jiahui. The gangsters just now should be creditors or something like that. According to his memory from his previous life, these people should be Guan Shan's creditors.

Not to mention Hong Kong in the 80s, even in the 21s, the rule that a son must pay for his father's debts is still deeply rooted.
