Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 300 301 [Golden Bell Second Stage Project]

As a Japanese, Ohno Kawaki naturally knew about Nikkatsu Film Company and the newly emerging Nikkatsu Real Estate. After all, Nikkatsu Film Company was one of the largest film companies in Japan, and the previous acquisition of Nikkatsu Film Company caused quite a stir.

Ohno Hemu chuckled and said, "In front of Mitsubishi Corporation, Nikkatsu Films is just a small company. What's your name, sir?"

Being looked down upon, Luo Qihong sneered, "The boss of Mitsubishi Corporation doesn't seem to have the surname Ohno, and there is no Ohno among the important shareholders."

The translator responded on behalf of Ohno Hemu in a flattering manner, "Mr. Ohno Hemu is the general manager of Mitsubishi Motors in Hong Kong. He is in charge of all affairs of the Mitsubishi Motors branch and is an important partner of Hengchangxing Enterprise Company."

"Oh? Turns out he's just a person in charge. I thought he was the boss of Mitsubishi Corporation." Luo Qihong laughed contemptuously.

No wonder such an idiot was able to sneak into the charity event held by Hang Seng Bank. He hasn't even established a firm foothold in Hong Kong, but he dares to act arrogantly in front of the rich and powerful.

The boss of Hengchangxing Enterprise and the manager of Hang Seng Bank are the same person. Perhaps this is the reason why Daye Hemu appears here.

Luo Qihong turned to Lin Ya and said, "Mom, let's go over there."

Luo Qihong smiled at the ladies again and said, "Excuse me!"

"This Japanese guy is too arrogant." Chen Yusan muttered in a deep voice, "He actually came to the charity to show off his power."

"Now that the Japanese yen has appreciated, the Japanese are all running to the United States to show off. They are just about to say they want to buy the United States. Isn't Hong Kong a place they can come to whenever they want?" Luo Qihong thought more openly.

Mitsubishi Motors is not an easy company to deal with. Now that it has joined forces with Hengchang Bank, it will be difficult for him to defeat it.

Soon the charity event officially began. Hang Seng Bank Chairman Ho Sin Hang came out to speak, reading a bunch of things from a script, which were not very informative.

It was still the same old routine. First there was the donation session. As planned, Luo Qihong donated 88 yuan on behalf of the Luo family.

The pledged amount was not much, but it was above the average. Surprisingly, Ohno Hemu pledged 2 million yuan on behalf of Mitsubishi Motors, ranking at the top of the donation list, which made Ohno Hemu even more arrogant.

Next was the donation auction session. The Luo family did not donate anything. After all, the Luo family’s company did not have much dealings with Hang Seng Bank, so there was no need to be perfect.

"30 yuan!" The translator shouted out the price for Daye Hemu.

Seeing Daye Hemu's arrogant face, Luo Qihong felt uncomfortable, so he directly raised the price by "50 yuan!"

He planned to give this senior employee of Mitsubishi Motors a good beating, which might get Ohno Hemu some blame and also do something for charity.

Ohno Hemu glanced at Luo Qihong and signaled the translator to continue bidding.

When the auction price reached 72 yuan, Luo Qihong immediately stopped bidding. He thought a small jade ornament from the Han Dynasty was not worth that much at all. Only Daye Hemu, who was rich but stupid, would bid that much.

Luo Qihong dares to guarantee that this thing may not be worth 21 yuan in the 72st century. According to the current price, it will be a loss of about 40 yuan.

Ohno Hemu was unaware of this and thought he had defeated Luo Qihong, so from then on Ohno Hemu kept targeting Luo Qihong and asked the translator to take a lot of photos for him.

"This guy has spent at least 6 million here. When he returns to the company, will his superiors immediately cause trouble for him?" Luo Qixing said happily.

"I don't know, but if I were his boss, I would consider replacing someone smarter with someone else in Hong Kong." Luo Qihong sneered. If it were any other auction, he could make Daye Hemu lose 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

Da Ye He Mu ran over without realizing it, wanting to show off, "Luo Sang, it seems that you didn't buy anything at this charity event. Are you a little disappointed?"

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "No regrets, I'm very happy. You Japanese are really generous. You spent so much money to buy a bunch of things that are worthless. I think Mr. Ohno Hemu will lose more than 2 million on this batch of things he bought."

"Instead of worrying about whether I am happy or not, you might as well think about how to report to Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan."

Hearing this, Ohno Hemu's eyes widened. He had no idea what the auction items were. He was an automotive engineer and only knew about cars. He knew nothing about anything else.

The translator doesn't understand anything and can only do things according to the employer's requirements.

His wife Sakurako Mikawa asked nervously, "Is what he said true? Did we spend more than 7 million yen?"

"Not necessarily. The Chinese are very cunning. Let's go back and ask the appraiser to take a look. Maybe we can make some money." Ohno Hemu said to comfort himself.

Back to Deep Water Bay Villa.

As soon as Lin Ya got out of the car, she praised Luo Qihong, "Son, you did a good job! These Japanese deserve it. Keep hitting them in the future."

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "It's not difficult to deal with Japanese like this, but there are some very smart Japanese among them. We may suffer the loss next time."

If you underestimate a nation, you will always suffer losses.

Luo Qihong remembered that in the last century, the British army colonized Africa and wanted to conquer the black people with guns and cannons, but they ended up suffering heavy casualties at the hands of the black people. This was the consequence of underestimating the opponent.

"We must kill these Japanese even if we suffer losses. This is a matter of justice and cannot be vague." Although Lin Ya is not well educated, he has experienced that war and knows about national hatred and family feuds.

Luo Qihong nodded. He still had to do business with the Japanese. This was the result of common interests. By the 90s, he would make a lot of money from the Japanese and even win over a group of wealthy Chinese to make a fortune, so that the Japanese would suffer greater losses.

To Luo Qihong, this was a righteous robbery, and he did not feel any guilt.
Some newspapers reported the scene in which Luo Qihong played tricks on the Japanese at the Hang Seng Bank Charity Party, and attached photos as evidence, which resonated with many citizens.

Citizens have also encountered many arrogant Japanese tourists who bought products with a haughty attitude, so they have a different view of the tycoon Luo Qihong.

This news greatly stimulated Daye Hemu, who at one point wanted to challenge Luo Qihong to a duel to regain his face.

Siu On Real Estate Company Office

"Boss, this Japanese guy is probably going to be mad to death." Chen Zhilong said excitedly while holding a newspaper.

Luo Qihong waved his hand and said, "That Japanese guy is just an idiot. He is the dumbest Japanese guy I met in Japan. The other Japanese guys are very smart."

"No matter how smart I am, I can't beat you, boss." Chen Zhilong continued to flatter him, making Kang Wenyi and Cheng Jianshen feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Jianshen interrupted and changed the subject, "The development rights of the property above the Admiralty Section 2 subway station are about to be auctioned. Does the boss have any ideas?"

Kang Wenyi added, "If the company can win this project, it can become a large real estate company in Hong Kong, even comparable to companies like Great Eagle Properties."

Kang Wenyi doesn't like to exaggerate when he speaks. He always speaks the truth and is more honest than Cheng Jianshen.

If it wins the Admiralty Section 4 project, Siu On Real Estate Company will have four commercial buildings in Central, two of which are large commercial buildings with a rental area of ​​2 million square feet, making it one of the landlords in Central.

But as Cheng Yu-tung said, this project requires more than 1 billion yuan in capital, which is higher than the market value of Siu An Real Estate Company. If it cannot be swallowed smoothly, it will be stuck in the throat, making Siu An Real Estate Company unable to move forward or backward.

"Don't think about it. This project has no destiny with Zhaoan Real Estate, but there may be destiny in the future." Luo Qihong said seriously.

"Boss, what do you mean?" Cheng Jianshen didn't quite understand, but he guessed something.

Luo Qihong explained, "This project requires too much capital. With the previous experience of Hang Lung, those companies will definitely compete with each other and will not hold these two properties for a long time. If they choose to sell, isn't this our chance?"

"Selling means making a decent profit, and the price we pay is probably even higher," said Kang Wenyi.

Luo Qihong said, "It's almost 85. According to the construction period of the property, it should be sold around 87. We can use this year or so to raise the funds. If we compete now, it will be difficult to raise funds in a short period of time."

"Time is more important for us. And I have a bigger plan that is better than the Admiralty 2 project and will be more beneficial to the company."

Hearing this, Cheng Jianshen widened his eyes and asked, "What project?"

"According to an insider of the Hong Kong government, the Hong Kong government is about to release land in the Admiralty Barracks area with an area of ​​11.5 square feet." Luo Qihong dropped a bombshell.

6.9 square feet versus 11.5 square feet, the better one can be seen at a glance.

"Then how long do we have to prepare?" Kang Wenyi asked. If they win the Admiralty Barracks project, the reputation of Zhaoan Real Estate Company will be no less than the reputation that Cheung Kong Holdings gained when it won the Admiralty Section 1 project.

"At most half a year, at least three months." Luo Qihong said in a deep voice. He forgot the specific month, but only remembered that the auction took place in the first half of 3.

"It depends on your progress in raising funds. If it doesn't work, you can join forces with Dehe Real Estate Company to take it over. As for the Admiralty Section 2 project, I will find a consortium and let Dehe Real Estate Company join in. This way, we will have a better chance of getting these two buildings in the future." Luo Qihong laid out his plan.

Cheng Jianshen, Kang Wenyi and Chen Zhilong could not help but be shocked. The boss' plan was a bit earth-shattering. In terms of value, it was several times the market value of Zhaoan Real Estate Company. It would be rare for the market value to exceed 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in the future.

"Can we take back Huaguang Real Estate Company?" Chen Zhilong reminded.

It would be very good for Zhaoan Real Estate Company if Huaguang Real Estate Company could help share some of the pressure.

"The Zhao Congyan family should still be unwilling to let go, so let's not think about it for now." Luo Qihong refused directly.

"I remember that in 82, the Jinzhongbing real estate was put on the market. The highest bidder was Cheung Kong Holdings, which offered 6 million yuan. This time it should not be lower than that. How does the boss plan to raise this money?" Cheng Jianshen looked at Luo Qihong and said.

"Zhao'an Real Estate Company will first take out a sum of money and ask De'an Company to help make some money in the stock market. Then, half of the land cost will be solved by raising funds and issuing shares. The remaining funds can come slowly." Luo Qihong said that this plan is the best at present.

Cheng Jianshen and others expressed their approval, excluding Huaguang Real Estate Company, and this plan could be said to be the only one.

Sino Properties meeting room

Luo Qihong had met Xinhe and Huang Tingfang father and son several times, so they had some friendship, so he went directly to visit the company.

In the past, the Admiralty Section 87 project was won by a consortium led by Sun Hung Kai Properties, and was sold to the Australian-owned Bentley Group for HK$19 billion in .

He believed that as long as he could acquire a stake in this project, he would have an advantage over the Benda Group in acquiring the twin shopping malls.

"Luo Sheng's teasing of the Japanese has brought a lot of honor to us Chinese," Huang Tingfang complimented.

Luo Qihong laughed and said, "It was just that the Japanese guy was showing off in front of my mother, and I couldn't stand it, so I did this. If my mother hadn't been there, I probably wouldn't have done this."
