Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 266 267 [Entertainment Building] (asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)
Luo Qixing was a soft-hearted person. Seeing Chen Yusan's low mood, he sighed and said, "I know I have wronged you. It's all my fault that I am not as capable as Ah Hong. I will work hard in the future. Even if I can't catch up with Ah Hong, I can at least narrow the gap."

Chen Yusan said coquettishly, "You are already very capable. Shengyun Printing is managed by you in an orderly manner. As for Ah Hong, few people in Hong Kong can compare with him. We will not compete with Ah Hong. I will trouble Ah Hong less in the future."

"As a paper company, we can consider making some disposable cups and such. As for sales, I'll go find Ah Hong. He's in the trade business and should have channels." Luo Qixing patted Chen Yusan's arm and said.

Chen Yusan joked, "Didn't you say you wouldn't bother Ah Hong? Why did you change your mind now? Did you just ask me not to bother Ah Hong?"

Luo Qixing explained, "Of course not. This matter is already troublesome. Wouldn't it be even worse if we don't do it well? So we might as well go through the trouble to the end, do it well, and pay back the money as soon as possible."

"Yeah, you're right! My husband is really understanding of human nature." Chen Yusan said admiringly.

On the morning of the next day, Luo Qihong and Yu Jichang took a group of people to take over Tiantian Daily and Tiantian Color Printing.

Although Liu Tianju's management ability is not strong, it is still no problem for Tiantian Daily. After all, the business model of Tiantian Daily has been determined. As long as they don't mess around, they can basically make a lot of profit.

"Mr. Luo, the employees here are all senior. I didn't fire any employees when I took over Tiantian Daily a few years ago. They all work diligently. If possible, I hope to continue to employ them." Liu Tian made a humble request.

Luo Qihong was slightly startled. He didn't expect Liu Tian to have such a side. He actually lowered his posture to plead for ordinary employees. "Okay, as long as they don't make any mistakes, I don't want to be the bad guy."

He didn't dare to say too much, because there are all kinds of people in the world, and he would not show mercy to those who should be fired. Such a large company does not allow for leniency.

No one knows whether there are any employees who have committed mistakes such as embezzling public funds or abusing their power, and what Luo Qihong needs are employees and management who obey orders, not some big shots.

"Thank you!" Liu Tian did not dare to go too far. "Then I'll take my leave first. Luo Sheng can call me if you have any questions."

Yu Jichang looked at Liu Tianjue's back as he left, and said quietly, "Liu Tianjue is a man who still has some moral principles and knows how to plead for his employees."

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "It's just a word. Calculate all the accounts and report any mistakes to the police. This is not the time to talk about favors, otherwise these accounts will be blamed on us."

"Yes! Don't worry, the people we hired are all elites from the financial company. They will quickly sort out the company's financial situation." Yu Jichang said, "Are you planning to continue using those management?"

Luo Qihong said solemnly, "We don't have many talented people right now, and we can't replace them. Let's first catch a typical case and make an example of it. Finally, we will increase the salary of all employees by 10%."

Giving a slap and then giving a candy is a common way for Luo Qihong to take over.

This method is old-fashioned, but it works. It can quickly build prestige and restore the company to normal as soon as possible.

"I understand!" Yu Jichang hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Luo, can I have more power? If I can fire some employees, I think it will be more convenient for me to manage the company."

Luo Qihong took a deep look at Yu Jichang, nodded and said, "I'll give you the personnel authority under the supervisor, but don't be partial. I don't want to see turmoil in Tiantian Daily. I acquired Tiantian Daily to make money, not to show off."

He didn't know Yu Jichang very well, and he didn't want Yu Jichang to make a big fuss. This person didn't have much management experience, so it was better to give him a warning to avoid big problems in the future.

"Don't worry, I will do things in moderation." Yu Jichang's expression froze and he responded seriously.

Luo Qihong handled some official business in the office and then left Tiantian Daily.

Dehe Real Estate Company Office

He hadn't been here for a while. Besides being busy, Dehe Real Estate Company only had a few rental properties left, which didn't require too much attention.

"Boss, you called me?" Su Qishan walked in with a smile on his face, looking very relaxed.

In the first half of the year, Luo Qihong transferred Su Qishan and some others from China Gas Company to Dehe Real Estate Company, who were responsible for collecting various real estate information.

Although Zhaoan Real Estate Company also has news in this regard, the two companies have different focuses. Dehe Real Estate Company's main business direction is small properties, and Luo Qihong also plans to build Dehe Real Estate Company into a "Shop King"-like enterprise.

"Well! How is the company's team being formed?" Luo Qihong asked calmly, crossing his fingers and placing them on the table.

Su Qishan reported, "The company now has 48 employees, and each department has completed the basic structure. If necessary, we can quickly increase the number and expand the scale in the future."

"I've read the information you've collected, and it's quite comprehensive. Our current target is Canton Road, Shanghai Street, Reclamation Street in the urban area of ​​Kowloon, as well as some medium-sized shops in Central. As long as the price is low, we can take them all." Luo Qihong plans to acquire 1% of the shops in these areas to complete the first round of expansion.

"What about Causeway Bay and Wan Chai? The shops in these two places are very good, and the prices are much cheaper than those in Central," said Su Qishan.

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "We have limited funds and cannot afford all the good things, so we chose the two most prosperous areas. Although Wan Chai is close to Central, it is mostly occupied by office buildings and there are not many shops. Causeway Bay has just emerged, and the retail industry is not as good as Tsim Sha Tsui, and the number of shops is not as good as that of Kowloon City."

Su Qishan nodded. Real estate was originally his main business, but after working in China Gas Company for a long time, his touch was still a little unfamiliar, and it would take some time for him to recover after actual operation.

What made him most happy was that he could run a private company, Luo Qihong's company, which showed his boss's trust and respect for him, and made him happier than going to Zhao'an Real Estate Company.

"There are many high-quality shops on the market now, but the quantity cannot satisfy us. If we cannot acquire enough shops in Central and Kowloon, can we transfer to Causeway Bay? Or enter other small areas of real estate?" Su Qishan asked.

Luo Qihong thought about it and said, "Yes, if we can't acquire enough, we can move to Causeway Bay first. If it's still not enough, we can also enter the villa and high-end residential field."

"Yes!" Su Qishan continued to report, "When I was collecting information, I also heard a rumor that Gao Kaiquan of Weimeng Investment Company suffered heavy losses in the big crash, but he also made a lot of money in the early stage and is still struggling to support it. Should we teach them a lesson?"

Luo Qihong hasn't paid attention to Gao Kaiquan, Lin Luoxun and others for some time. Of course, it was also because he didn't want to waste time. Besides, it was not a deep hatred, so there was no need for a life-and-death fight.

There would be no benefit for him to teach these people a lesson at this time, and it might even cause losses, so it would be better to forget about them.

He waved his hand. "No, we still have a lot of things to do. There's no need to waste time on them." Su Qishan pursed his lips. "But this Gao Kaiquan is a bit shameless. He has been following your Zhaoan Real Estate Company and De'an Company to do projects. I heard that Weimeng Investment Company also has a lot of funds in Japan, and it has made huge profits."

"That's his ability. He has the courage to believe in De'an Company wholeheartedly." Luo Qihong said with a smile, "He's not afraid of me playing tricks on him. He deserves to make money."

Luo Qihong believes that it is difficult for people with some abilities to admit that others have abilities. It is even more difficult for Gao Kaiquan to put aside his revenge and follow him in investing. The psychological barriers are not easy to overcome, so Gao Kaiquan deserves to make money.

Su Qishan talked about Lin Zuhui's family again, with the focus naturally on the two brothers Lin Luoxun and Lin Luoshi.

This is the difference between Su Qishan and Chen Zhilong. Luo Qihong has never told Su Qishan to pay attention to these things, but Su Qishan can pay attention to them alone, which is somewhat intended to prevent these opponents from causing trouble.

Therefore, Luo Qihong was willing to transfer Su Qishan to Dehe Real Estate Company in time to do some more personal work.

"Then doesn't the current Haofeng Real Estate Company completely become Lin Zuhui's private company?!" Luo Qihong said somewhat unhappily, "As expected of an old man in the business world, he knows when is the best time."

"Lin Zuhui already controls 100% of the shares of Haofeng Real Estate Company. I heard that he spent 3 million yuan, and Haofeng Real Estate Company still has assets of 2 to 3 million yuan. He has made a lot of money." Su Qishan said.

Luo Qihong thought deeply about it and seemed helpless about Lin Zuhui. After all, he could not influence the current local market and Haofeng Real Estate Company did not have too much debt, so he had no idea where to start.

Luo Qihong didn't know why he was so resentful of Lin Zuhui, and he always wanted to do something when he heard this name.

"This old guy also distributed a lot of property assets from Haofeng Real Estate Company to his three sons, which greatly increased the market value of Yiren Real Estate Company and Best Real Estate Company." Su Qishan continued to talk about the known news, "Lin Zuhui also has an illegitimate daughter who has been transferred back to Haofeng Real Estate Company to work."

Illegitimate daughter?!

Luo Qihong was shocked for nothing. This piece of news was worth making, but it would not cause much turmoil. An illegitimate daughter with little power would at most cause some family disputes.

"Do Xu Jiawen, Lin Luoqi, Lin Luoxun know?" Luo Qihong asked.

Su Qishan hesitated for a moment and replied, "They probably don't know. Even if they do, they'll pretend not to know. It's worth mentioning that this illegitimate daughter is pretty and highly educated, having graduated from Stanford University in the United States."

"Here is a photo of this woman. Her name is Lin Yunxue. The word Yun is taken from her mother, Li Meiyun, who died of stomach cancer three years ago."

Luo Qihong took the photo. Lin Yunxue was wearing a bachelor's gown, smiling sweetly, with a dimple on the right cheek. She was a typical oriental beauty, radiating confidence, which was the charm that a top student from a higher education institution should have.

"She is indeed very pretty, and somewhat similar to Lin Zuhui, but probably more like her mother." Luo Qihong looked at the photo and couldn't help but laugh. "Any other detailed information?"

Su Qishan looked at the smirk on Luo Qihong's face and guessed some of Luo Qihong's thoughts. Of course, he would not expose Luo Qihong's thoughts. "For now, there is only some basic information, all of which are from before college. Because his mother, Li Meiyun, is in the United States for medical treatment and rarely returns to Hong Kong, it will take time to investigate clearly."

So Su Qishan read out Lin Yunxue's information from the past few years, including some major events.

After listening to the story, Luo Qihong stroked his chin and said, "He looks weak, but he is actually a decisive person. Why didn't Lin Zuhui bring him home? Is he worried that his three sons will rebel?"

"Probably not. It's a bit because of Xu Jiawen. Maybe she's worried that Xu Jiawen will discipline Li Meiyun. Lin Yunxue is also a girl. There's no need for her to trace her ancestry." Su Qishan analyzed and explained.

"Check Lin Yunxue's whereabouts. I may have to meet the eldest lady of the Lin family." Luo Qihong laughed, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Seeing that Luo Qihong had made it clear, Su Qishan reminded him, "Lin Yunxue is a person with good abilities, not one of those stupid women. The boss should be more careful."

"Why? Are you worried that I'll be deceived by a woman?" Luo Qihong smiled and said, "This woman's looks are slightly inferior to Guan Jiahui. I don't think she can seduce me."

Su Qishan hesitated and struggled, glancing at Luo Qihong from time to time, as if he had something unpleasant to say.

"Go ahead and say whatever you want to say, including bad things about Guan Jiahui." Luo Qihong couldn't help but laugh.

Su Qishan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ms. Guan is indeed stunningly beautiful, but in terms of intelligence, I'm afraid she can't compare to Lin Yunxue. If Lin Yunxue sees through our plan and uses our trick against us, we might suffer a loss."

"Don't worry!" Luo Qihong waved his hands. "I'm just trying to cheat her for sex, not money. She's using the same trick on me to cheat me for sex. I have a lot of sex, so let her cheat me."

"."Su Qishan was speechless. The boss was quite thick-skinned, but he was not ugly, and he had money and good temperament. Maybe Lin Yunxue could really be deceived.

Luo Qihong felt that the joke was over and returned to the main topic, "We should focus more on the company's business. Those are just minor incidents. We are elites engaged in business, not a gang."

"Please help me pay attention to Chinese Estates Holdings, Paramount Holdings and China Entertainment Holdings. Especially Chinese Estates Holdings. The relationship between the Li family and the Feng family is the key."

"Yes! The boss is looking for an opportunity to take action against the Chinese Estates Company?" Su Qishan is familiar with his boss's temperament and will not do anything in vain.

"I guess so, but if I were to make an acquisition, I'm most interested in China Entertainment Properties. As for the others, I just want to make a profit." Luo Qihong said.

Su Qishan had a deep impression of Chinese Estates Holdings and China Entertainment Holdings. At that time, Paramount was sold to Chinese Estates Holdings, and he had a detailed understanding of these two companies.

"Boss, are you interested in the Entertainment Building?" Su Qishan asked.

Seeing Luo Qihong nodded, Su Qishan continued, "The Chinese Estates Center Building of the Chinese Estates Company is of better quality than the Entertainment Building. Why don't you just buy the Chinese Estates Company? Is it because of the strict defense of the Feng and Li families?"

Luo Qihong was speechless and didn't know how to explain. He could only nod and said, "Yes, the acquisition of Chinese Estates Company is too difficult. On the contrary, the acquisition of China Entertainment Property Company is easier."

"That's true." Su Qishan said.
