Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 233 233 [Little Butterfly Effect]

Room 207, Kowloon Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui

Liu Luanxiong, who is six years older than Luo Qihong, was busy pouring wine for him, with a flattering look on his face and saying some flattering words.

In fact, at this time, Liu Luanxiong was already worth over 100 million yuan and had several million dollars in debt investments in the United States, but he only controlled an unlisted company, Aimego. Naturally, he was not comparable to Luo Qihong.

"Mr. Liu, you don't have to be so polite. This is not the first time we have met. Just tell me what you want to say." Luo Qihong had no idea what Liu Luanxiong wanted to talk about. It was unlikely that it was a cooperation project with Aimego Company, and he was not very concerned about the recent situation of Aimego Company.

After all, no matter how powerful Aigo and Liu Luanxiong are, they are currently just a partner of Luo Qihong.

"Okay, let me get straight to the point." Liu Luanxiong smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Luo, you know that Mr. Liang Yingwei and I opened the Aigo Company. We recently wanted to list Aigo, but the stock market is not doing well now, so I asked Mr. Luo to come out and ask if he is interested in becoming a shareholder of Aigo?"

Luo Qihong did not reply immediately, his mind was thinking about the matter rapidly.

At present, the classical fans of Aigo Company are still very profitable, and Liu Luanxiong's nickname "Fan Liu" has become well-known, but the sales volume of classical fans has been declining in the American market.

It is possible that Liu Luanxiong and Liang Yingwei wanted to use Luo Qihong's strength to stabilize the control of Aigo Company and save some money for other investments.

Liu Luanxiong is a man with vision and ability. He should have seen the current investment opportunity and wanted to free up some funds for investment. After all, the industrial business does not recover funds fast enough.

"As far as I know, Aimico's business is very good and profitable. Why would Mr. Liu give me the profit?"

Liu Luanxiong said frankly, "There are two reasons. First, Luo Sheng is very strong and has many industries. He doesn't like Aigo. We are also familiar with each other. Luo Sheng will support me. Second, I have my eyes on other investment projects and need a large sum of money. I can't wait for Aigo's profit dividends."

"Mr. Liu does believe in me. Since Mr. Liu is willing to make concessions, I won't be pretentious. How much equity can I get?" Luo Qihong smiled faintly.

"20%, how about that?" Liu Luanxiong explained, "I will hold 28% and Liang Yingwei will hold 25%. There are only three of us on the board of directors. Luo Sheng can send two directors to join the board of directors of Evergo."

The three hold a total of 3% of the shares, which is enough to control the board of directors of Aigo, while Liu Luanxiong and Liang Yingwei hold as much as 73% of the shares, which is obviously a means to guard against Luo Qihong.

Of course, such a situation is most beneficial to Liu Luanxiong. Luo Qihong and Liang Yingwei do not know each other, and their combined shareholding is only 45%, leaving Liu Luanxiong some room.

It has to be said that Liu Luanxiong has his own way of doing things, and he does it flawlessly, maximizing his own interests while not causing any complaints from Luo Qihong and Liang Yingwei.

"Okay!" After Luo Qihong clinked glasses with Liu Luanxiong, he said, "At what price do Mr. Liu and Mr. Liang plan to issue new shares to me? How much money do I need to pay?"

Glancing at Luo Qihong who was toasting with his head raised, Liu Luanxiong followed suit and said with a smile, "The public offering price is 1.4 yuan per share, but Mr. Luo is a friend, so the new shares are 1 yuan per share, and Mr. Luo needs to pay 5 million Hong Kong dollars."

Luo Qihong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "5 million is not a small number. When will Aimico go public?"

"It is expected to be in March, or at the latest in early April." Liu Luanxiong said, "Luo Sheng is a well-known tycoon in Hong Kong. His losses in this stock market crash were very small. 3 million is not a big number for you, right?"

Luo Qihong thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Liu, this is just an investment for me. When the share price of Aigo is high enough, I will not hold it. If you mind, you can find another partner."

Liu Luanxiong has another interpretation of these words. Luo Qihong has no interest in Aigo Company at all, which is better for him.

"Of course you can. Since it's an investment, selling is allowed. But I hope Mr. Luo can notify us at least half a month in advance so that we can be prepared." Liu Luanxiong said.

"Of course, I will inform Mr. Liu in advance. If Mr. Liu is not ready by then, I can also delay the time of selling." Luo Qihong continued, "Mr. Liu, Aimego only makes fans, and the products are too single. Why not add some products?" Liu Luanxiong suddenly widened his eyes and asked with a smile, "Mr. Luo is in the trade business. I wonder what products are selling well in the current market?"

Luo Qihong thought about it, and recalled the product line of Aimego in his previous life. He said, "Lighting, insect zappers, and kerosene kettles are all products that are lacking in the market, and they are simple to produce, so they should be suitable for Aimego."

"Can Luo Sheng's trading company take over these businesses?" Liu Luanxiong looked at Luo Qihong with a smile.

Luo Qihong laughed and said, "Of course, but we can still take it at the beginning. If the quantity is large, Mr. Liu will still need to find other trading companies for help."

"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Luo." Liu Luanxiong was of course happy. Not only did he solve the issue of Aigo's listing, but he also found two or three more ways to make money.

At this time, Liu Luanxiong and Liang Yingwei were still in the honeymoon period of their cooperation. There would be no attitude problems for a year or two, and they could still make a good profit on this investment.

The two chatted for a while and then left the Kowloon Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui together.

Friday, October 1

The sky was a little gray, and at around 10:15, a fine drizzle began to fall. The temperature dropped to 7 degrees Celsius, and the magic attacks became more powerful.

Luo Qihong was just about to stand up and close the small window when Chen Zhilong ran in excitedly, even forgetting to knock on the door.

"Boss, good news!" Chen Zhilong walked directly to the desk and supported his hands on the table. "Peng Guozhen, the chairman of Jianian Real Estate Company, passed away due to illness. The company is in chaos. The creditor banks should be rubbing their hands and preparing to get their loans back."

The creditor banks trusted Peng Guozhen as a person, not Jianian Real Estate Company. Now that Peng Guozhen is dead, and considering the current situation, how can the banks not be afraid? These loans are not small amounts. If they become bad debts, it will be a huge loss.

Jia Nian Real Estate owed a lot of loans. It can be said that it went to a certain bank too late, and the debt had to become a bad debt.

Luo Qihong remained silent, thinking about other issues, while Chen Zhilong said anxiously, "If we go to Jianian Real Estate Company now, the senior executives will definitely be willing to sell the property to us at a low price."

Luo Qihong glanced at Chen Zhilong and shook his head, saying, "We can't go to Jianian Real Estate now, otherwise it will be suspected of taking advantage of the situation and ruin our reputation."

There was also suspicion of taking advantage of the situation before, but Peng Guozhen was an old businessman and could withstand Luo Qihong's attack. It was more like a fight between them. But now Peng Guozhen is dead, leaving a group of weak people to run Jianian Real Estate. If they go there again, it would be really taking advantage of the situation.

The important thing is that these properties can also be acquired from the banks. Considering the recent decline, there shouldn't be much of a price difference, so Luo Qihong doesn't want to take advantage of the situation.

Chen Zhilong muttered to himself, "Should we discuss this with the bank or go directly to the auction?"

"The auction will take some time and there may be unexpected changes. Let's go to the creditor bank." Luo Qihong sighed. A powerful Chinese-funded company came to the end of its life.

"Who are you going to hand over this matter to?" Chen Zhilong still wanted to take the opportunity to gain more power.

"Since you have proposed it, I will leave it to you to contact the creditor banks. However, you have to wait until Jia Nian Real Estate declares bankruptcy or the creditor banks completely take over the properties before taking action." Luo Qihong explained in detail.

"Yes, boss!" Chen Zhilong responded happily. He achieved his goal.

After Chen Zhilong left, Luo Qihong put down the documents in his hand and sorted out some ideas for the plan. After all, many things had changed like the butterfly effect, such as Peng Guozhen's death which happened two months earlier.
