Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 215 [It's not that easy]

"Mr. Li should be very clear about my abilities, and according to my intelligence, there is another Mr. Li who is very interested in the electric light company. I believe that Mr. Li will definitely be willing to cooperate with him." Luo Qihong smiled with a hint of coldness in his smile.

Li Zhaoji knew it would be easy for him to take such a big piece of cake. He was already at a disadvantage against Li Jiacheng, and with Luo Qihong being a not-so-small weight, Li Zhaoji would undoubtedly lose.

Of course, Li Zhaoji can look for other partners, partners who are more capable than Luo Qihong, but Luo Qihong is not the one who wants to take over the electric light company, so he is in a position where he can attack or defend.

If Luo Qihong did something secretly, Li Zhaoji would probably lose a lot of money, ranging from a few hundred million to more than ten billion.

This might exceed Li Zhaoji's budget. After all, now is a downturn in the real estate market. Li Zhaoji has a lot of funds tied up, and it is impossible for him to put all his fortune on the electric light company.

Cheng Yutong smelled the tension between the two and interrupted, "Ah Hong, you should give Ah Ji some room for consideration. We are all Chinese, and it is a good thing to meet each other again and get along well."

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Uncle Tong, I am still very afraid that Mr. Li will play tricks on me again, so I need to have some leverage this time, otherwise I will be very nervous."

"." Cheng Yutong was speechless. It was Li Zhaoji who did those little tricks before. Although Luo Qihong fought back, it was a passive counterattack, so Luo Qihong's statement seemed reasonable.

If we don't have any evidence against Li Zhaoji, who knows when this guy will strike again?
Li Zhaoji took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I can cooperate with Luo Sheng, but Luo Sheng has to wait for my news."

"Mr. Li, I think you've made a mistake." Luo Qihong smiled mysteriously, "I am free and don't need to rely on you, Mr. Li, to carry out any project. Mr. Li fooled me last time and I don't have any credibility this time. So I have the final say on when to attack and I don't need to wait for your notice."

Hearing this, Li Zhaoji's face flushed and his breathing became heavier. He had been famous for a long time, and even a company like Landmark had to give him some face. Now he was threatened by a rookie. It was really...
"Mr. Li, you can go back and think about it slowly. I'll wait for your reply." Luo Qihong smiled faintly and looked at Li Zhaoji.

The Jardine Matheson Group of companies has not yet changed its leader and Simon Keswick has not yet taken office. It is impossible for Newbigin and Bowdoin to sell their shares in the electric light company.

Because that was the guarantee for the two to gain a foothold in the Jardine Matheson Group of companies. If they lost their substitute in the Wharf Group, they might have to leave immediately.

Not to mention that Simon Keswick would take the opportunity to seize power, even the original board directors would have great opinions. Without the support of these people, Newbijian would definitely fall.

There is still time to maneuver. It is impossible for a super large enterprise to decide to change hands so quickly.

The two collaborations are mutually reinforcing.

Seeing that the two were silent, Cheng Yutong began to change the subject, "Ah Hong, I heard that you..."

Soon, Li Zhaoji chose to say goodbye. He really needed to think about this matter carefully, and it was embarrassing to just sit here.

After Li Zhaoji left, Cheng Yutong took a bite of food and said earnestly, "Ah Hong, please don't think I'm meddling in other people's business. Ah Ji did something unkind in the two matters of China Gas Company and Star Ferry Company, but it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

"Aki holds billions of assets in his hands. This is not a small force. If we become enemies, the energy invested in guarding against each other will not be small. Don't ruin your own development opportunities just for a grudge."

Luo Qihong admitted that what Zheng Yutong said made sense, but the feud with Li Zhaoji was not so easy to resolve, not to mention that Li Zhaoji personally interrupted his plan.

He also suspected that Li Zhaoji was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that could sink all his companies and knock them down like dominoes.

"Uncle Tong, you are right. I will stop as long as I can get back the money I lost from the electric company." Luo Qihong said with a faint smile.

Cheng Yutong sighed. What he meant was to let Luo Qihong let go of the electric company. Since Luo Qihong was unwilling, he would not persuade him anymore. After all, persuading him further might make him unpopular.

Some of the persuasions were just to the point. Luo Qihong was not his son, and he had achieved success with his own abilities. He had his own pride.

In Luo Qihong's impression, Cheng Yutong is the image of Maitreya Buddha. As long as the other party does not go too far or admits his mistakes, he will be very generous and will not care at all. Otherwise, he will also take care of people like Liu Luanxiong. Luo Qihong does not know whether Cheng Yutong in his previous life had ever bridged the gap between Liu Luanxiong and Li Zhaoji, or perhaps he really did not.

Because the one who suffered the loss was Li Zhaoji, and the one who launched the attack was a newcomer like Liu Luanxiong.

"It's still not strong enough." Luo Qihong sighed in his heart.

A restaurant in Kowloon City

Luo Qihong and Luo Qixing met with Feng Tianzhang of Tianzhang Printing Company to discuss the acquisition.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and then began to get into the whole conversation. After all, they were not very familiar with each other.

"My two Mr. Luo, actually I have no intention of selling the company for the time being. I still have enough energy and can manage the company's affairs well." Feng Tianzhang said.

What bullshit are you talking about? If you don't want to sell the company, then why did you accept the invitation? Do you really want to eat this meal?

Luo Qihong complained in his heart, but on the surface he was full of smiles. "Mr. Feng, we are sincere. Your family doesn't need this family business to support anything. Why not sell it now while the market is good so that you can enjoy your old age earlier."

"Mr. Luo, you are also a businessman, you should understand a man's ambition to control the company with all his heart and soul." Feng Tianzhang still wanted Luo Qihong to pay a high price.

"According to our investigation, the market value of Tianzhang Printing Company is 5 million yuan. We are willing to take it over at the market price. What do you think, Mr. Feng?" Luo Qihong said with a smile.

"Mr. Luo, to be honest, many people have come to you and offered prices, and yours is not the best," said Feng Tianzhang.

Luo Qihong thought about it and realized that the printing business was now in a period of rapid development. A printing company could be supported by magazines and newsprints of all sizes in Hong Kong alone. It was normal for Feng Tianzhang to ask for a high price.

As for what Luo Qixing said about Feng Tianzhang liking intellectuals, there was no trace of that, and of course Luo Qihong would not dwell on such things.

This is a business negotiation, interests take precedence over anything else.

"How about a 5% premium?" Luo Qihong stretched out his hand with a faint smile on his lips.

Luo Qixing was listening at the side and felt that the negotiation seemed very simple, but it was mainly difficult to take the initiative in the negotiations.

"Tsk! Little Luosheng didn't understand what I meant."

Luo Qihong interrupted Feng Tianzhang and said seriously, "1% premium, this is my highest price."

"Mr. Feng should know that I'm in the real estate business. I understand that Mr. Feng wants to rely on the properties in his hands to charge a high price, but these properties are not worth much in my eyes. It's just that my eldest brother has set his eyes on Tianzhang Printing."

"I should know more about real estate than Mr. Feng. If we wait for some time, Mr. Feng will not be proud of owning these properties."

Feng Tianzhang pondered. He suspected that Luo Qihong was threatening him, but it seemed to be true.

Luo Qihong glanced at Luo Qixing and said, "Mr. Feng, let's eat first. You should think carefully about the acquisition of Tianzhang Printing Company. You can give us an answer in a few days."
