Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 225 [The Art of Drawing Big Pies]

As the world's largest economy, the United States could not avoid it. Although Japan was the world's second largest economy at that time, it was far behind the United States.

The 80s was a period of rapid growth in the U.S. technology and service industries. It was a great opportunity to make money and the best time to start a business.

Luo Qihong couldn't think of any reason to refuse. After all, Dean Securities was currently one of his most profitable companies.

"So how do you plan to raise the funds?" Luo Qihong asked.

Asking this question means that Luo Qihong does not want Bai Jinyan to use the funds remaining in the account of De'an Securities.

Bai Jinyan thought for a moment and said, "Considering that the Japanese stock market is booming right now, I plan to apply for a loan from the bank. What do you think?"

Luo Qihong nodded and said, "Okay, but the company should not be too large, because most of our funds are in the Japanese market, and only a small amount of funds will be diverted to the United States. In addition, the new company should not take up too much energy."

The second half of the sentence means that the new company does not consider attracting customers and focuses on the investment business of the parent company.

After get off work in the evening, I return to my home in Mid-Levels.

Chen Yusan came to visit again, and the three members of the Luo family were very happy, especially Lin Ya, who thought that Luo Qixing's marriage was a sure thing.

Luo Qihong watched Chen Yusan's wonderful performance and once thought that Chen Yusan liked Luo Qixing. He felt that if Chen Yusan could keep pretending, it might not be a bad thing.

Chen Yusan's appearance, manners, and family background are all superior, even better than the extremely capable Bai Jinyan. The only advantage Bai Jinyan has is that Bai Shuncheng and Luo Zegui have known each other for many years, and the two families can be considered old friends.

After dinner, the three of them hid in the study to discuss things.

"Ah Hong, all those properties have been sold. Our loss is more than 4%, a loss of more than 3 million." Luo Qixing said with some shame.

"Yes!" Luo Qihong nodded and said, "Can Shengyun Printing Company still hold on?"

Chen Yusan's eyes were unusual. She had investigated some of Luo Qihong's deeds and dared to assert that Luo Qihong could come up with several million yuan to pay off Luo Qixing's debts. But until now Luo Qihong had no intention of helping. She felt that Luo Qihong was making things difficult for Luo Qixing and wanted to teach Luo Qixing a profound lesson.

This method was indeed cruel and ruthless, because she knew that Luo Qixing had been suffering a lot in the past few days and couldn't even get a good rest.

"It's okay for now. As long as the newspaper industry's market conditions remain the same, we should be able to pay off our debts within a year." Luo Qixing said dejectedly.

Luo Qihong asked, "Brother, what do you think of the current local market? Come and analyze it."

Luo Qixing widened his eyes and even glanced at Chen Yusan. After thinking for a long time, he replied, "The current market is terrible, like a bottomless pit. I don't know when it will bottom out."

"." Luo Qihong was suddenly speechless. This is not an analysis, this is the reality.

Chen Yusan said, "I think what you said a few days ago, Ah Hong, is right. It is feasible to sell all the properties now. The property prices in the future will definitely hit a new low. Perhaps we can conduct a series of bargain hunting and make back the lost 3 million yuan.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that things will develop as the rumors say?" Luo Qihong asked jokingly with a smile.

Chen Yusan was very smart. Seeing Luo Qihong's coldness, she knew that her answer was in line with Luo Qihong's wishes. She explained, "The mainland is developing rapidly and connecting with the world. No matter how things develop, the mainland needs Hong Kong to maintain its status for a certain period of time and become a bridgehead for the country. This period of time will definitely not be short. This is our opportunity."

Luo Qihong smiled brightly. Chen Yusan saw it more clearly than most politicians and capitalists. Even if it is a treasure, it is only a treasure if it can be used effectively.

"Sister-in-law has a keen eye." Luo Qihong said with a smile, "Now is not the time to buy at the bottom. The printing company's business is very good. As long as we hurry up, we can still catch up with this opportunity."

"This is just my superficial opinion." Chen Yusan shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Luo Qihong thought about it carefully and said, "Brother, when you and sister-in-law get married, why don't you let sister-in-law come to Shengyun Printing Company to help out and reduce your workload. You can even give sister-in-law some shares when Shengyun Printing Company goes public."

Hearing this, Chen Yusan's eyes suddenly brightened, and her body movements were a little bit at a loss. You know, she didn't have a single share in the Chen family company, and the Luo family mentioned the issue of shares before she even entered the door, which was really a surprise.

Luo Qixing had already fallen into the quagmire of love, and seeing Chen Yusan so happy, of course he would not refuse.

As for Luo Zegui and Lin Ya, the two elders have no idea of ​​maintaining property like a wealthy family. They must be thinking that since their eldest daughter-in-law is so outstanding, they should just give the money to her, and it will also stabilize her and make her grateful.

So, basically, Luo Qihong has the final say, which is also one of the reasons why Chen Yusan is so excited.

"This gift is too expensive. I can't accept it." Chen Yusan refused against her will.

Luo Qihong explained, "Sister-in-law, I'm not going to give you shares now. You need to make contributions to Shengyun Printing. I'll give you shares after it goes public. We still need to discuss how much to give you, but I think it can't be less than 5%."

Chen Yusan's face was embarrassed at first, then excited, "Well, let's talk about it later. We haven't gotten married yet."

“Even if you’re not married, you can go and work at Shengyun Printing Company first. It’s a family company and no one will gossip about you,” Luo Qihong said.

"." Chen Yusan calmed down immediately because she still held a high position in the family company.

Once you quit, it's hard to turn back. After all, there are so many family members and not many positions, and everyone has their own job.

"Sister-in-law, please think about it first. There is no rush." ​​Luo Qihong said to smooth things over.

The eldest brother Luo Qixing's ability is too weak, and he can't help all the time, so he has to settle for the second best and let Chen Yusan take the position.

Of course, Luo Qihong also thought of a way to deal with Chen Yusan. It would be difficult for Chen Yusan to gain control of Shengyun Printing Company unless he, Luo Qihong, died.

Chen Yusan did not stay overnight at Luo's house, and it was already 10: in the evening when she returned to the apartment.

After taking a shower, Chen Yusan saw her mother Li Shu sitting on the sofa in the living room, so she walked over.

"Mommy, why aren't you sleeping so late?" Li Shu was a little sleepy, and it seemed that she was waiting for Chen Yusan to finish her bath.

"Go to sleep later, go to your room, I have something to tell you." Li Shu said earnestly.

Seeing this, Chen Yusan naturally knew that Li Shu had something important to say to her, so she went into the room with Li Shu and closed the door.

The two of them sat on the edge of the bed. Chen Yusan's hair was a little wet and she was wiping it with a towel.

"Your marriage with Luo Qixing is settled, but you still have to pay attention to some rules. If you keep going to his house, people will gossip about you." Li Shu advised softly.

"Okay, I'll pay attention next time." Chen Yusan nodded in agreement.

"The Luo family treats you well? I heard that the Luo family made their fortune with the help of their youngest son. Will this have any impact?" Li Shu knew that strong people were not easy to get along with.

Chen Yusan was stunned for a moment, and said coquettishly, "Mommy, the Luo family is very good to me. Tonight they said they would give me 5% of the family company's shares."

Li Shu was slightly startled, but then she understood. She couldn't think of the newly wealthy Luo family with the thinking of an ordinary wealthy family. "Did my in-laws say that or did Luo Qixing say that?"

Chen Yusan smiled mysteriously and said, "Neither of them. It was Luo Qihong who said that. I dare to tell you because he said that."

Li Shu knew the ins and outs of the matter. Luo Qihong would most likely keep his word about giving her shares. She just didn't expect her daughter to be so popular with the Luo family.

After careful consideration, Li Shu asked, "Tell Mom the whole story."

So Chen Yusan told the whole story.

Li Shu immediately understood that Luo Qihong realized that his elder brother was not capable enough, so he wanted to use this as bait to get his daughter to contribute.

This is a conspiracy!

It's a very tempting plan, and it makes people feel it's reasonable and willing.

But Li Shu quickly thought of something else and asked, "Does Luo Qihong want Shengyun Printing Company to get involved in the real estate industry?"

Chen Yusan replied, "It should be. Shengyun Printing Company previously had a newspaper company under its umbrella, but unfortunately Ah Xing didn't know how to run it, so he gave it back to Luo Qihong."

"In fact, running a printing company and supporting a newspaper to form a preliminary closed loop is very beneficial, but if you don't understand how to run it, forget it." Li Shu didn't want to force such a thing, nor did she want to embarrass her daughter.

"So do you think I should resign from my family's company now?" Chen Yusan was feeling very nervous.

Li Shu patted Chen Yusan's hand and smiled gently, "It depends on whether you really want to marry Luo Qixing. If you don't change, you can resign as soon as possible. The company at home is not a good place."

"Well! Let me think about it again." Chen Yusan pursed her lips, and her mood became conflicted again.

Until Li Shu left the room, Chen Yusan still looked worried and seemed to be suffering from insomnia.

Saturday, May 10

Li Yude organized a dinner and invited Luo Qihong and Lin Luoqi to dinner.

Although the three men have a big age gap, they have organized several cooperative acquisitions. In a sense, they are friends regardless of age, and Li Yude hopes to get some inspiration from them.

Luo Qihong also has his own purpose. One day he will need the help of these two guys, so it is necessary to establish a good relationship with them now.

As for Lin Luoqi, he had no idea of ​​the current situation in the city and wanted Luo Qihong and Li Yude to help analyze it. If he took the wrong path again, the situation would be even worse.

"The recent urban environment is really bad. If it weren't for Luo Sheng's reminder and help, Hongpu Real Estate Company would have fallen into the quagmire now. Come, Luo Sheng, I toast you with this glass!" Li Yude said seriously, raising his glass.

Luo Qihong clinked glasses with Li Yude and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, you are too polite. De'an Company will charge you a handling fee for helping you with investment. It is just cooperation. There is no such thing as helping you."

Lin Luoqi fell into deep thought after hearing this. He had been busy secretly transferring family assets and had not cooperated with Luo Qihong for a long time. He didn't even know that Li Yude had made a lot of money following Luo Qihong.

And judging from Li Yude's tone, the sharp drop in the real estate market seemed to be expected.

"I have a lot of funds, Ah Hong, can your De'an Securities help me with the investment?" Lin Luoqi said. The market conditions in Hong Kong are really bad, and it feels like there are traps everywhere.

"No problem, but let me make it clear first, my company will charge a 5% handling fee." Luo Qihong said with a smile, but who knew what Lin Luoqi meant.

Lin Luoqi paused for a moment. The handling fee was indeed a bit high, but it was acceptable. Moreover, if Li Yude was willing to accept it, so could he.

"No problem! 5% is 5%." Lin Luoqi asked, "What project are you investing in?"

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Japanese stock market! Li Sheng and his team have already made more than 2 million."

"How much did Uncle Li invest?" Lin Luoqi asked Li Yude.

"Not much, about 6 million." Li Yude was also willing to help Luo Qihong's company attract business. "I invested about half a year."

This shocked Lin Luoqi. A 30% return rate in half a year was already very good, much more than what he could earn by transferring family assets (as planned).

"Rocky, how much do you want to invest?" Luo Qihong asked with a faint smile.

Lin Luoqi raised his palm and said, "5 million!"
