Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 135 [If you cause trouble for me, I will cause trouble for you]

The Yiren Real Estate Company office on the other side

The two brothers Lin Luoxun and Lin Luoshi were smoking cigars together. For a moment, the office was filled with the spicy smell of cigar smoke, which was very strong.

"We finally managed to snatch Lin Luoqi's Yiren Real Estate, and now he has teamed up with Li Yude and Luo Qihong to take over Hongpu Real Estate Company. The market value of this company is not much worse than Yiren Real Estate, and it is even better in terms of property holdings. If we don't restrict him quickly, he will definitely turn around and deal with us." Lin Luoshi exhaled a puff of smoke and frowned slightly.

Lin Luoxun put out his cigar and said solemnly, "Lin Luoqi is now half-separated from the family. It may not be so easy for us to do anything in the future. Even Daddy will find it difficult to interfere with him."

"And Daddy felt a little guilty about driving Lin Luoqi away. This is one of the reasons why Lin Luoqi was able to gain a foothold so quickly."

“Brother, this won’t do. If Lin Luoqi makes a comeback, we might end up back in our previous situation. We have to take precautions.” Lin Luoshi sat up excitedly.

Lin Luoxun sighed and said, "How can we defend? If we attack Lin Luoqi like this, Dad will definitely be dissatisfied when he finds out. Besides, Lin Luoqi, Li Yude, and Luo Qihong have formed an alliance. I'm afraid we won't even be able to defeat Luo Qihong alone."

"It's all the fault of that loser Luo Qihong, who has always supported Lin Luoqi." Lin Luoshi clenched his fists, his face full of resentment.

Lin Luoxun seemed to be unable to hear Lin Luoshi's words of resentment, and murmured to himself in melancholy, "Luo Qihong is already a powerful figure. Even with Lin Luoqi's support, we had such a hard time taking him down, let alone dealing with Luo Qihong. Moreover, we failed the first two times."

"What do you think about us cooperating with Luo Qihong to make Lin Luoqi lose his support?"

Lin Luoshi quickly advised, "Brother, we can't cooperate with Luo Qihong. If we cooperate with him, wouldn't that mean we have to admit defeat and bow down to him? Then where will our face be?"

Lin Luoxun nodded. He knew this truth. He was a little hesitant at first, but after hearing what Lin Luoshi said, he suddenly decided to continue fighting with Luo Qihong and the others.

In many cases, the first thing that wealthy families consider is not profit, but family reputation and personal reputation. After all, they still have to live in the local area with dignity.

"What have they done recently?" Lin Luoxun asked.

Lin Luoshi thought for a moment and said, "They seem to be planning to acquire a certain company. We need to find out which company it is."

"Okay, let's find out as soon as possible. We also need some time to prepare." Lin Luoxun said thoughtfully.

In fact, since Lin Luoxun lost the Jide Real Estate Company, he has been a little discouraged and not as motivated as before. Now he wants to run the family company well, and Lin Luoqi has been driven away.

However, with Lin Luoshi's instigation, Lin Luoxun seemed to want to prove to everyone that he was the most suitable heir to the Lin Zuhui family, and Lin Luoqi was just a "two against six" (a small role).

A cafe in Wan Chai

The sound of the piano is very healing, giving people a gentle and comfortable feeling, which will also calm their mood.

There is a layer of white liquid floating on the surface of the coffee, and the brown and white edges do not feel out of place.

"Mr. Luo, congratulations on the successful sale of Hongpu Real Estate Company and a profit of over 1 million." Xie Jiyuan from the Landlord Association complimented with a bright smile.

"Thank you!" Luo Qihong looked at Xie Jiyuan's wretched expression and knew what bad idea this guy was up to. "Mr. Xie, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm a little busy recently."

The two of them don't have any friendship, so there is no need for small talk.

"Okay, I'll tell you straight away." Xie Jiyuan put away his smile, "I heard that Luo Sheng's Paramount Company is planning to sell to Chinese Estates. The price should not have been agreed upon yet, right?"

"The price has not been agreed upon yet, but the transaction will be based on the market price." Luo Qihong responded calmly. He had already guessed Xie Jiyuan's purpose, which was nothing more than hyping up the stock price of Paramount Company, just like Hongpu Real Estate Company.

"That's good! We can cooperate like Hongpu Real Estate Company, which will be beneficial to both parties." Xie Jiyuan laughed.

Luo Qihong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Mr. Xie. I've had Paramount for a year. It's not a newly acquired company like Hongpu Real Estate Company. I need the help of the Landlord Association."

Xie Jiyuan was suddenly stunned. He thought Luo Qihong would agree readily, but he didn't expect him to refuse directly.

However, he quickly reacted and organized his language logic, saying, "Luo Sheng, the current market value of Paramount is only 8 million yuan. If it is hyped up a little, it is very likely to exceed 10 billion yuan. The Landlord Association only needs tens of millions in handling fees, and you can also make tens of millions more."

"Mr. Xie, I already have an idea whether the market value of Paramount Company can exceed 10 billion yuan. Moreover, I have seen the capabilities of your Landlord Association. It seems that you are not as powerful as the rumors say. You didn't contribute much in the last case." Luo Qihong said with a faint but meaningful smile.

"."Xie Jiyuan was speechless for a moment. The last case of Hongpu Real Estate Company was indeed a bit disappointing, but compared to Hongpu Real Estate, Paramount Company was more profitable, and he could not give up easily.

"Mr. Luo, it's just that my personal strength is not enough. I will ask the landlord to help directly with the Paramount Company case this time, and we will definitely achieve our goal." Xie Jiyuan said.

Luo Qihong glanced at Xie Jiyuan and said, "No need. The acquisition of Paramount Company has already been finalized. Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Luo Qihong stood up and wanted to leave.

"Mr. Luo, let's talk some more. We should be able to work out a cooperation that is beneficial to both sides," Xie Jiyuan stood up hurriedly, talking blabberingly.

Luo Qihong waved his hand and said, "So be it." Luo Qihong left without looking back. He knew very well that Xie Jiyuan was just here to take advantage of him. Last time, he didn't contribute much, but he still took away more than 1 million in profits. He was already a little disgusted with him at that time.

Today, Paramount Company is twice the size of Hongpu Real Estate and has a more stable foundation. There is no need to make concessions to the landlord association.

Luo Qihong was very skeptical about what Xie Jiyuan said about the power of the landlords' association. Who knew if it was true?
The most important thing is that Luo Qihong does not want to have any unpleasantness with Chinese Estates Company in this transaction.

There may be troubles for Li Fushu and Bank of East Asia in the future, and Luo Qihong has a keen interest in Chinese Estates Holdings and its subsidiary China Entertainment Holdings.

If big goals cannot be achieved, Chinese Estates Holdings is also a good choice.

Xie Jiyuan sat back in his original seat, his face looking much gloomier.

"We can't lose this project!" Xie Jiyuan muttered to himself in a sinister tone, "Since we can't cooperate, I'll do it myself. I'll make at least several million in profit."

North Point Wo Hung Properties
This company is already in name only. Guan Jiahui only does business occasionally. Now she is a millionaire and does not care much about the brokerage commission of one thousand or a few hundred yuan.

However, Hehong Real Estate Company holds a large number of shares in Paramount and Zhaoan Real Estate, which is an indispensable trump card in Luo Qihong's hand.

On this day, a lot of ferocious-looking gangsters gathered in front of the usually deserted entrance of the Hehong Real Estate Company. Although they had no weapons in their hands, their aura was still intimidating.

Luo Qihong was naturally not afraid, not to mention that Sheriff Zhao Sheng was present.

"Sir Zhao, Hehong Real Estate Company is my private company, and Guanshan is just the father of my employee. This group of people actually came to my house and asked me to pay off Guanshan's debt. Isn't that unreasonable?" Luo Qihong said with a sneer.

Zhao Sheng was very clear about Luo Qihong's background. He owned two listed companies and had assets worth hundreds of millions. Even foreign police chiefs had to give him face.

"What Luo Sheng said is right. This has nothing to do with you." Zhao Sheng nodded. He did not expect that the small agent at the beginning would grow into a rich man in one year, and he would be in the news constantly.

"What do you mean it doesn't matter? Is this your signature? You are Guanshan's partner. Now that Guanshan can't be found, of course the account will be put on you." The arrogant gangster Deng Honglian sneered.

Deng Honglian's nickname in the underworld is Black Chicken. His subordinates call him Brother Black Chicken, and some of his opponents call him Little Chicken.

Luo Qihong glanced at the signature, stood up and walked to the drawer, took out a document, and said, "This is my signature. Your signature is forged."

He turned to Zhao Sheng and said, "Mr. Zhao, it is clear that someone forged my signature. I hope the police can give me an explanation, otherwise I will file a complaint with the Governor's Office. I seriously doubt the ability of the police to maintain law and order in Hong Kong."

Brother Wuji was not very clear about Luo Qihong's background and thought that Luo Qihong was just a small businessman, so he laughed and said, "Sir Zhao, I also need an explanation, otherwise I will complain to the British House of Commons."

Luo Qihong sneered and said, "Sir Zhao, I think you need to give me an explanation, otherwise this matter may really implicate you."

I have money, so it's very easy for me to bribe the police and raid the gang.

Zhao Sheng suddenly had a headache, but he didn't think he could offend Luo Qihong. Perhaps Luo Qihong's phone call could really reach the Governor's Office.

"Wu Ji, I suspect that you used Luo Sheng's signature to defraud Luo Sheng of his money. Now I need you to go to North Point Police Station to assist in the investigation." Zhao Sheng took out the silver bracelet without hesitation and put it on Brother Wu Ji.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment, and the gangsters looked at each other in bewilderment. If they attacked the police, their leader would of course use them as the scapegoat. But if Brother Wu Ji was arrested by the police, they would be laughed at by outsiders for being "disloyal".

Brother Wuji immediately stood up and tried to resist, but was held down by Zhao Sheng. "Wuji, don't do anything rash. You are just assisting in the investigation. If you attack the police, your boss won't be able to protect you."

"Wuji, disperse them all, or I will inform the higher-ups that you are planning a rebellion."

Brother Wuji gnashed his teeth in hatred, but did not dare to move, and obediently followed Zhao Sheng away.

After the police car drove away from Hehong Real Estate Company, Zhao Sheng ordered the police officer to stop the car and used the key to open Wujige's silver bracelet. "Luo Qihong's background is not simple. He owns two listed companies and has close ties with the Li family of East Asia Bank. If I mess with you without regard for the consequences, I don't think those foreign police superintendents will refuse."

Although Brother Wuji is a gold medal fighter, he is not stupid and naturally knows the seriousness of the matter.

"What if I kill him?" Brother Wuji laughed cruelly.

"Whether you kill him or not is your business, but if you fail, your name will definitely disappear from Hong Kong. Neither the police force nor Luo Qihong himself will let you go, and your family may not be able to be saved." Zhao Sheng said heavily.

"Sir Zhao, don't let the disaster affect your family!" said Brother Wuji.

"It's your rule that you shouldn't hurt your family members. What does it have to do with Luo Qihong? Is he a gangster?" Zhao Sheng looked at Brother Wuji like he was a fool. "Well, just consider yourself unlucky. Just go find whoever owes you money."

"Sir Zhao, it's so easy for you to say that. Guan Shan, that bastard, has already fled to Taiwan, and his daughter is nowhere to be found. Who can I turn to?" Brother Wu Ji complained.

"You can find anyone, but don't find Luo Qihong. If you cause me trouble again, I will clean up your place in North Point." Zhao Sheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with Brother Wuji. "Get out of the car! Do you want to stay in the police station for a few days?"
