Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 18 018 [Achieve the goal ahead of schedule]

In the afternoon, customers of the luxury agency began to disperse and flow back to other agencies, while Hehong Real Estate Company had more customers, and a 8% discount could generate more than 300 yuan in returns.

Of course, other peers followed suit and started advertising big rewards offering 2% ​​commissions.

The saying 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered down' has always been true. Luo Qihong began to be noticed by the people in the agency. They even suspected that it was Luo Qihong who smashed the store, which allowed them to vent their anger and regain their business share.

Luo Qihong was busy with business and had no time to think about these things. He didn't feel guilty and wouldn't think about these things.

On the second day after the incident, on the 20th, a rumor spread on the street that the luxury agency store was smashed by its peers because they didn’t want to lose business.
Therefore, influenced by the strong financial resources of the agency, the North Point Police Station began to "work", dispatching a large number of police forces to check each agency store one by one, while also issuing warnings in the hope of scaring the murderer out.

Senior Police Officer Zhao Sheng from North Point Police Station is responsible for visiting real estate agencies on Luo Qihong's street to check for suspicious persons, and Luo Qihong is a key focus.

Zhao Sheng is tall and thin, with a long and pointed face. He looks like a handsome old man. He is over 40 years old and an experienced police officer who thinks he has a good eye for people.

"Sir Zhao, and two sirs, please have some tea." Luo Qihong poured a cup of tea for the three police officers with a smile on his face, but without the slightest flattery.

Zhao Sheng took a sip of tea and asked Luo Qihong seriously, "Who do you think is the murderer who smashed the store?"

Luo Qihong didn't expect Zhao Sheng to be so direct. He shook his head seriously and replied, "How would I know who it was? If I knew who it was, I would have reported it to the police station long ago. The reward is 1000 yuan."

"Guess who it is, or who do you think it is?" Zhao Sheng continued to ask, his eyes fixed on Luo Qihong's face.

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, you should know that I have only been working in North Point for two months. How can I know who the murderer is? To be honest, I don't even know a few colleagues."

This is a trap. No matter who guesses it, it will attract hatred. Moreover, he discovered that Zhao Sheng had other purposes, but he was not sure what the purpose was.

"Really? I went to other stores just now, and those people all suspected that you did it." Zhao Sheng directly used his ultimate move.

Luo Qihong's face changed slightly. Although the Hong Kong police force had gone through the baptism of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, its composition was still mixed. It was obvious that Zhao Sheng was a "remnant of the old era" and they wanted to "frame him".

Luo Qihong poured himself a cup of tea. "What do you think, Mr. Zhao? Do you also think it was me who did it?"

Zhao Sheng smiled and said, "We police officers rely on evidence. Those people are just guessing to provide us with a direction to solve the case."

"If you have evidence, you can arrest me, but it's not that easy to 'frame me'. I know a little bit about the law, and I know a few 'big lawyers' (lawyers). I've also dealt with foreign journalists." Luo Qihong smiled slightly. "My former tutor at the Polytechnic Institute introduced me to some famous people. I want to ask them to do something for me, so it shouldn't be difficult."

Zhao Sheng frowned, he suspected that Luo Qihong's words were just to scare people, but since he was "taking money and doing things for others", naturally he would do as much work as he was paid. There was no need to offend Luo Qihong. If it was true, he would suffer a great loss.

"Haha!! That's just what I said. Don't be offended, Luo Sheng." Zhao Sheng put on another expression, chatted with Luo Qihong for a few more words, then said goodbye and left.

Luo Qihong didn't want to offend these sirs, but since they had already bullied him, he had to fight back, otherwise the other party would think he was weak and could be bullied, which would cause him trouble in the future.

He felt very strange. Why were those people so hostile to him when he had only met them by chance? Was it because he had not bribed them? Or was it because someone else had instructed him to do so?

Before Luo Qihong could think about it, the phone rang. He walked over to answer it, and Zhang Taotao's voice came from the receiver, "Mr. Luo, the share price of Legu Real Estate Company has risen to 5 yuan. Do you want to start selling?"

"Start selling, I'll be right there." Luo Qihong said, and immediately hung up the phone and closed the door of the shop. Guan Jiahui was not in the shop, she was taking a client to see a house, and she would not be back for a while.

When he met Zhang Taotao, Luo Qihong had already sold all of his 40 shares of Legu Real Estate Company. Compared with the tens of millions of shares of Legu Real Estate Company, 40 shares were just a drop of water in a big cup, which could only cause a small ripple. Moreover, the current share price of Legu Real Estate was rising alarmingly. If the 40 shares were sold out, they would soon be snatched up by investors.

"Mr. Luo, the purchase price of the 40 shares of Legu Real Estate Company you hold is 1.5 yuan, and the selling price is 5 yuan. After deducting various expenses, 196 million yuan of funds were recovered, and the funds in your account are about 208 million yuan." Zhang Taotao reported, his eyes full of envy.

Luo Qihong nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "What is the current situation of Wharf Holdings?"

Zhang Taotao didn't know what the "situation" specifically referred to, so he briefly explained what he knew. "Companies under Wharf Holdings have not changed much, except that Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui has been basically completed and is now vigorously renting out properties. As a result, the stock price has risen significantly, and the market value has exceeded 30 billion yuan. According to the analysis of economic experts, Wharf Holdings' stock price still has a lot of room for growth."

Harbour City alone is worth hundreds of billions of dollars (its current value). Wharf Holdings also owns high-quality assets such as tram companies, container terminals, and the Star Ferry Company. A market value of just 30 billion yuan is certainly underestimated.

However, the share price of Wharf Holdings has been sluggish, and the chartering king does not want this heirloom to be too dazzling, so it is difficult for the share price of Wharf Holdings to have a significant increase in a short period of time.

"Mr. Luo, do you want to buy shares of Wharf Holdings?" Zhang Taotao interrupted Luo Qihong's thoughts tactlessly.

Luo Qihong was not angry at all and said, "No need. The stock price is already 30 yuan, and there won't be much increase."

"What is the share price of Hang Lung Group?" Luo Qihong suddenly remembered that there were recent rumors in the real estate industry that the development rights of the properties above nine subway stations would start bidding in January next year. It seemed that these nine subway station projects were all won by the consortium formed by Hang Lung Group.

With such favorable news released, it is hard for Hang Lung's share price not to rise. As for how much it will rise, Luo Qihong has forgotten, but it will not be too little.

There are not many good stock market investment projects now. Hang Lung's winning bid for the properties above nine subway stations may be the best project.

Zhang Taotao did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the blackboard not far away, found the current stock price, and said, "5.6 yuan per share."

Luo Qihong felt that it would be very difficult for the stock price to double at 5.6 yuan, but it would not be less than 20%. After careful consideration, he chose Hang Lung Company. "Help me buy 5.6 shares at 20 yuan, and the remaining funds will be earned in my personal account."

"Understood! I'll do it right away!" Zhang Taotao replied, turned around and left.

Not long after, Zhang Taotao came over with a stack of contracts and asked Luo Qihong to sign them.

"Mr. Luo, 20 shares is a bit large and will take some time," said Zhang Taotao.

"How long will it take?" Luo Qihong stopped signing, looked up at Zhang Taotao and asked.

"It will take about two hours and will be completed before the market closes."

Luo Qihong nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for your good news here."

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, close to twelve o'clock, Zhang Taotao finally came over with the voucher and handed it to Luo Qihong.

At this time, Luo Qihong took the credentials and glanced at the situation in the trading hall. He found that not many investors were willing to leave. Their butts seemed to be glued to the stools.

Luo Qihong knew that these people who worked day and night to speculate in stocks did not make the most money. After all, the purpose of a company going public was to borrow money from shareholders to develop its own industry. If there were no shareholders investing money, why would the company go public?
