Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 29 [029-year-old blind date]

"100 yuan? No! I'll pay you 300 yuan every month." Luo Qixing said excitedly.

Luo Qihong walked over and patted Luo Qixing on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "There's no need for the two brothers to calculate so clearly. Besides, you still have to save money for your wedding. Giving me so much, do you want to not get married?"

"This..." Luo Qixing felt a little embarrassed.

Luo Qihong compromised and said, "You save the money first. If it's enough, you can pay me back. This will be good for everyone."

"Yeah!" Luo Qixing nodded and agreed to the suggestion.

The next day, Luo Qihong helped Luo Qixing with his work for a morning, and then went to the hospital in the afternoon, preparing to see Luo Zegui before going to work in North Point.

Just as he arrived at the door of the ward and before he stepped in, Luo Qihong heard Luo Zegui's voice with an unfamiliar accent.

"Why are you here?" Lin Ya walked over quickly, took the fruit bag from Luo Qihong, and then smiled and introduced to the stranger, "Uncle Cheng, this is my youngest son Luo Qihong."

Lin Ya instantly turned to look at Luo Qihong and said, "Call me Cheng Bo!"

"Hello, Lord Cheng! I am Luo Qihong!" Luo Qihong bowed slightly and saluted as a junior.

"Hello!" Cheng Bo's full name is Bai Shuncheng. He looked at Luo Qihong with a smile, like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.

Bai Shuncheng looks a bit dark, and the wrinkles on his face are similar to those of Luo Zegui, but his mental outlook is better than Luo Zegui's.

In fact, Bai Shuncheng was not from a wealthy family, but he had some assets. In the 70s, he took advantage of low housing prices to buy three shops, which he now rented out with a monthly rent of several thousand yuan. His real job was a truck driver.

People in Hong Kong are very pragmatic. Even if they are worth tens of millions, they will go to work instead of lying down. Bai Shuncheng is no exception.

"What is Hongzi doing now?" Bai Shuncheng sat next to him, looking at Luo Qihong. Without waiting for an answer, he asked again, "I heard that your father was admitted to a single ward. Was it you who arranged it?"

Luo Qihong finally confirmed that this was a prelude to a blind date, but he didn't dare to lie because his parents were around. "I work as a real estate agent in North Point, and I can barely afford food, clothing, housing and transportation. I arranged for my father to live here, and the cost is about the same as that of an ordinary ward."

Seeing Luo Qihong so modest and without any arrogance, Bai Shuncheng was even more satisfied. He knew how much it cost to stay in a single room, so he turned to look at Luo Zegui and his wife and said with a smile, "Look, when can we arrange for them to meet?"

Hearing this, Luo Qihong's face instantly fell. I'm only 22 years old. Do I have to go on a blind date at such a young age? Can't I wait a few years and grow up a little?

"Brother Cheng, when do you think is a good time? We are always available." Luo Zegui spoke.

"How about tomorrow, we can have a meal together at a small restaurant near Defu Garden to celebrate your discharge from the hospital." Bai Shuncheng said with a smile.

"Okay! Then tomorrow! Let's have dinner together!" Luo Zegui nodded.

Luo Qihong asked with a bad face, "Didn't I pay for a week's fee? How can I be discharged tomorrow?"

Lin Ya rolled her eyes at Luo Qihong. Firstly, she blamed him for saying these words at this time, and secondly, she felt that Luo Qihong had deceived them. She had asked at the nurse's desk in the morning and was told that the fees she had paid could be refunded.

"Your father is fine. The doctor said he will be fine after resting for a while. He doesn't need to stay in the hospital. He can rest at home." Lin Ya said.

Luo Qihong said nothing more, but his face looked a little sour. He felt helpless and a little annoyed. According to Luo Zegui's character, he would definitely not rest when he returned home. Seeing Luo Qixing busying himself, how could he just stand by and watch.

Bai Shuncheng smiled and persuaded, "Hongzi, we old people don't like hospitals. If you can go home and live there, you will sleep more peacefully." Luo Qihong nodded slightly and could only accept this result. Old people are more stubborn and thrifty.

HSBC Trading Room

After coming out of the hospital and sitting in the North Point shop for a while, Luo Qihong came here, ready to use the more than 200 million he earned to ambush China Motor Bus Co., Ltd.

"Mr. Zhang, what is the current share price of Yongtai Jianye Company?" Luo Qihong asked.

Zhang Taotao answered without hesitation, "9.8 yuan per share, there is still some room for growth."

Luo Qihong thought about it and decided to sell it. "Help me sell all the shares of Yongtai Construction Company and try to complete it before the market closes."

"Okay!" Zhang Taotao turned around and went to handle the matter.

At 3:12.7, Zhang Taotao appeared in front of him and said, "Mr. Luo, you hold a total of 7.2 shares of Yongtai Construction Company. The purchase price is 10 yuan, and the average selling price is 124.46 yuan. After deducting all expenses and taxes, the funds returned are 33.02 million yuan, of which the profit is yuan."

"Yes!" Luo Qihong nodded and asked, "What is the current share price of China Bus Company Limited?"

Zhang Taotao searched his mind and found nothing relevant, so he apologized, "Sorry, Luo Sheng! I need to check it out."

"Go!" Luo Qihong waved his hand.

Why would you want to buy China Bus Company shares now?
A takeover battle takes time. Luo Qihong believes that once Paliburg Investment Company starts buying China Bus Company shares and he follows suit, a "stock scramble" may occur, and the stock price will rise sharply, which may even affect Paliburg Investment Company's determination to proceed with the acquisition.

At this time, the Palibao Investment Company should not have taken action against the China Bus Company, which is a good time for Luo Qihong.

The growth of Yongtai Construction Company is about to reach its peak. Luo Qihong does not want to continue investing. Moreover, with the funds from the land sale, he now has more than 300 million yuan in funds, and it is time to choose other investment directions.

After a while, Zhang Taotao came back and said, "Mr. Luo, the current share price of China Bus Company is 16 yuan."

After much deliberation, Zhang Taotao continued to explain the situation: "China Motor Bus Company is a 'blue lantern' (dead). Although the market value is far lower than the actual asset value, without the entry of large investors and good news, the stock price generally will not change."

Luo Qihong understood Zhang Taotao's thoughts and said with a smile, "I know! I have already researched China Bus Company before coming here, and I know some of the details. Mr. Zhang, help me buy 370 million yuan worth of China Bus Company shares, and try not to let anyone find out."

If you buy at a price of 370 yuan with 16 million yuan, you can buy 23.1 shares of China Motor Bus Company, accounting for 0.625% of the total share capital.

Seeing that Luo Qihong had made up his mind, Zhang Taotao stopped trying to persuade him. This was the client's choice and the trader could not interfere too much, otherwise it would not be good for his own situation.

The share price of China Bus Company had been sluggish for a long time and there were a large number of scattered shares in the market, so Zhang Taotao completed the buying task within half an hour.

It was almost closing time, and Luo Qihong asked about the share price of Hang Lung Group. He was not very happy to learn that the share price was already 6.5 yuan, as it was rising too slowly.

Back to North Point Store
As soon as Guan Jiahui saw Luo Qihong, she came over and asked, "Which stock did you buy for me?"

Luo Qihong looked at this woman who couldn't eat yet, feeling a little depressed. He felt like he was just a tool to make money. He said impatiently, "Hang Lung Company! The purchase price is 6.5 yuan, a total of 300 shares."
