Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 303 Chapter 304 [The Heat Has Passed]

As sons, Lin Luoxun, Lin Luoshi, and Lin Luoqi are not qualified to question their father Lin Zuhui about the matter of his "illegitimate daughter", but Xu Jiawen is qualified, and must limit Lin Yunxue's power and status in the family.

So, as Luo Qihong expected, Xu Jiawen and Lin Luoxun joined forces and prepared to deal with the invader Lin Yunxue first.

A hotel room

The four members of Lin Zuhui's family gathered here, but the atmosphere was not so serious, but rather much better.

"Aunt Xu, are you asking us brothers out about your illegitimate daughter Lin Yunxue?" Lin Luoxun asked with a smile, his tone more teasing.

Seeing Xu Jiawen being frustrated and angry, Lin Luoxun was very happy. Although this matter was closely related to him, he did not think that his father Lin Zuhui would leave the bulk of the family assets to his illegitimate daughter. When it came to inheritance, the son would naturally be given priority, so Lin Luoqi was still their brothers' main enemy.

However, this is not a good thing for Xu Jiawen, as it means a decline in the family's status. She is aware of the threat posed by women.

"Since you've already guessed it, I'll just go straight to the point." Xu Jiawen said expressionlessly, "Lin Yunxue has already started cooperation with Luo Qihong, so it's not impossible for her to eat up those family assets."

Lin Luoxun frowned immediately. "Are the rumors true? What is Luo Qihong's purpose?"

"Brother, Luo Qihong clearly wants to take revenge on us. Don't forget that we have a grudge against him." Lin Luoshi glanced at Xu Jiawen and her son, and said rudely.

"Shut up!" Lin Luoxun rarely scolded Lin Luoshi, then turned to look at Xu Jiawen, "What are you going to do?"

"Drive Lin Yunxue away and give her some money to get rid of her. I think she wants money too." Xu Jiawen still understands Lin Zuhui and knows that her husband would not be so foolish as to leave the only remaining assets to his children.

Lin Luoxun thought about it carefully and asked, "How much does she want?"

"We need to talk to her about this. Can you believe what I'll come up with?" Xu Jiawen said sarcastically.

This kind of alliance is only temporary and can only last for a very short time, perhaps not even half a month.

Lin Luoqi and Lin Luoshi were drinking in a competitive manner at the dinner table, one cup after another, as if they were trying to decide the winner.

Xu Jiawen grabbed the red wine bottle and glared at Lin Luoqi, warning him not to drink any more.

Seeing this, Lin Luoshi raised his eyebrows at Lin Luoqi, his face full of provocation, showing off that he won.

"It's easy to get rid of an illegitimate daughter, but what does Luo Qihong say?" Lin Luoxun was worried that Lin Yunxue would persuade her father and then rely on Luo Qihong to do something bad, which would make them very uncomfortable.

"Luo Qihong's attitude is unclear, but since Lin Yunxue is not dating Luo Qihong, the problem is not very serious." Xu Jiawen expressed her judgment.

Lin Luoxun looked at Lin Luoqi and asked, "Luoqi, you have such a good relationship with Luo Qihong, do you think Luo Qihong will intervene in this matter?"

Lin Luoxun finally decided to end the fight between the two of them, snatched the bottle of wine next to Lin Luoshi, and put it far away.

Lin Luoqi sometimes has a childish temper, but when he is serious, he is still useful. After all, he built up two real estate companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy, so his abilities cannot be too bad.

"Yes! But I won't use too much strength." Lin Luoqi said firmly, "Like he said, you have a grudge against him. If you don't do it now, how can he vent his anger?"

Hearing this, Lin Luoxun fell silent. This was a matter concerning a man's face, and he could judge whether what Lin Luoqi said was true or false.

"Third brother, you are not trying to lie to us, are you?" Lin Luoshi laughed. He did not believe the mother and son in front of him.

Lin Luoqi ignored Lin Luoshi at all. This guy was just a well-developed man, otherwise he wouldn't have been attached to Lin Luoxun.

"I suggest talking to Dad first, and then talk to Lin Yunxue and Luo Qihong, so that we can take the lead." Lin Luoqi said, "Of course, the conditions can't be too bad, otherwise it will offend Luo Qihong and make it even more difficult to deal with."

"Okay, then let's discuss the conditions for them." Lin Luoxun was also very decisive, knowing that he couldn't drive Lin Yunxue away without paying a price.

"You can't give me assets, just give me cash." Xu Jiawen said with a heavy face.

"I think 3 million is a suitable number. What do you think?" Lin Luoxun's eyes moved between the mother and son.

Lin Luoqi immediately shook his head and said, "It's too little. I think 5 million is the most appropriate."

"Five million is too much. In today's market, five million can buy a commercial building." Lin Luoshi interrupted.

Lin Luoqi sneered, "Who do you think Luo Qihong is? To exaggerate, 3 million is not enough for Ah Hong's monthly expenses. If it gets out, his face is only worth 3 million?"

"I don't think Dad has that much cash. If it's too much, we might have to pay for it." Lin Luoxun reminded.

Lin Luoqi stopped talking. Of course he was not happy about being asked to pay.

"Take 3 million as the starting point. If Haofeng Real Estate has more cash flow, give more. If not, just give 3 million." Xu Jiawen said after summarizing the opinions.

Lin Luoshi walked over, took back the red wine bottle, and took a sip. A little red wine spilled from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto his white shirt. "Anyway, I don't have any money, you guys can do whatever you want."

The three of them ignored him, as if Lin Luoshi was the one with the least say in the private room.

"Let's do this for now. She will need a dowry when she gets married. Giving her 3 million now is very good." Lin Luoxun said.

"Strike while the iron is hot. Let's go negotiate with your daddy now." Xu Jiawen didn't want to drag it on. The alliance was loose to begin with. If it suddenly disappeared, wouldn't all of today's efforts be wasted?

"Well, let's go back to the old house and see daddy." Lin Luoxun nodded.

Lin Luoshi left with everyone, not forgetting to take the bottle of red wine, as if only wine could ease his sorrow.

Lin's Villa
Five cars drove into the courtyard, and only three stopped in front of the gate. Xu Jiawen and the three Lin brothers got out of the cars.

Lin Zuhui stood in front of the French window, watching all this, and muttered to himself, "The ones who forced the emperor to abdicate have arrived. I didn't expect them to be so united."

"Dad, I'd better quit Haofeng Real Estate. I have also agreed with Luo Qihong to start a new company. With his participation, the new company will develop very fast. Maybe its market value will exceed Haofeng Real Estate in the future." Lin Yunxue said pretending to be indifferent.

It is precisely because of this indifference, coupled with the face of being the head of the family, that Lin Zuhui is unwilling to let go of his airs.

"Luo Qihong is not a good person. You have to be very careful when doing business with him, let alone starting a company with him. You can't beat him." Lin Zuhui still cares about his daughter.

"But it's hard for me to run a company by myself. Although Daddy, you can help me, you are not familiar with the investment industry, and I'm worried there will be other problems." Lin Yunxue explained tactfully.

Lin Zuhui was about to reply when a knock on the door interrupted him. He could only say, "Come in!" When everyone entered the study, Lin Zuhui sneered, "What? Are you here to call me to task?"

Xu Jiawen had anticipated Lin Zuhui's toughness and retorted, "It's not about charging him with crimes, it's about forcing him to abdicate."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the study became even colder, and the younger generation dared not say a word.

Lin Yunxue pulled the corner of Lin Zuhui's clothes, making Lin Zuhui look different.

"Please sit down." Lin Zuhui still gave in. "You all know what happened. Axue is my daughter, your sister."

"This is a fact, there is nothing to say." Xu Jiawen glanced at Lin Yunxue, "Your son doesn't work at Haofeng Real Estate Company, shouldn't the same be applied to others?"

"Treating everyone equally?! Okay, Best Real Estate Company and Yiren Real Estate Company have reached their current scale, and either company would have done without my help, so shouldn't I help Axue set up a company?" Lin Zuhui said in a deep voice.

"Then can you give me an explanation? She is about the same age as Rocky." Xu Jiawen talked about the "cheating" incident again.

Lin Zuhui said, "If you have any requests, just ask."

"I have no objection to you returning to your roots. But you can't stay in Haofeng Real Estate Company anymore."

Finally, the matter was settled. Lin Yunxue left Haofeng Real Estate Company, but the family had to give Lin Yunxue 4 million to create a new company, and the family inheritance she received in the future could not exceed 5%.
These conditions were a bit harsh, so Lin Zuhui naturally objected, but Lin Yunxue agreed. The newly opened company became an asset that had nothing to do with the family and belonged entirely to Lin Yunxue.

After all the family members left, Lin Zuhui sat on the chair with a sigh. He didn't know why his home had become like this today.

"Daddy, don't be angry, it's all my fault." Lin Yunxue wanted to comfort Lin Zuhui, but was interrupted by Lin Zuhui, "What does it have to do with you? You have been alone outside for so long, and Daddy has never taken care of you."

"I don't want anything at home. I just hope everyone can be harmonious and not have conflicts." Lin Yunxue comforted her, "I don't have to worry about food or clothes. I just hope I can do something."

Lin Zuhui patted the back of Lin Yunxue's hand and said, "Daddy will definitely give you what you deserve. Just do your own thing and don't let anyone cheat you."

The scandal has not completely passed, and some tabloids are still reporting on it. The paparazzi are keeping a close eye on Lin Yunxue and Luo Qihong, hoping to dig out more news.

"Boss, do you want to get rid of those paparazzi?" asked the bodyguard Ajun.

Luo Qihong waved his hand expressionlessly. "No need. We are not doing anything shameful. Besides, these people are mean. If we shake them off, they will chase us even more closely. Let them follow us. When they find there is nothing to report, they will naturally retreat."

"There should be a lot of reporters at the auction venue. Should we avoid them?" Ajun continued to ask.

"Get out of the way. I don't want to answer those reporters' questions." Luo Qihong said. The questions asked by paparazzi are shameless, and the questions asked by serious reporters are tricky. Neither of them is easy to deal with.

Today is the first official land auction after the Sino-British negotiations, and the land in Section 2 of Admiralty will be launched in this auction.

Although Huang Tingfang and his son were in charge, Luo Qihong also believed that the two of them could bid for the land, but he still had to attend, perhaps there would be other land to be found at a bargain price.

Luo Qihong entered the auction hall from the back door with a group of bodyguards. After greeting Huang Tingfang and the others, he found a good seat and sat down.

The auction started soon, and the first item that came out was not a good thing, and the area of ​​the land was not big enough.

As a result, big companies had little interest in this, and the money eventually fell into the pockets of small companies, with a premium of only 1%. This was certainly poor compared to when the market was good, but it was also a good start after the disaster.

The second section of land in Jinzhong was naturally placed last as the most precious treasure.

The starting price is as high as 7 million yuan, and each bid must be no less than 1 million yuan.

"7 million!" Huang Tingfang was the first to bid.

Swire Properties followed suit and offered HK$7 million.

In the end, Huang Tingfang won the land with a bid of 10 billion yuan, becoming the highest bidder in the auction.

Luo Qihong glanced at Huang Tingfang who was talking in front of the reporters, and then left the auction with his bodyguards, naturally through the back door.

None of the items in this auction failed to sell, but the prices were not as good as the market conditions in the previous three years, only about 6% to 7% of the market conditions in the previous three years. However, compared with the situation in the previous two years where a large number of items failed to sell, it was much better.

What makes real estate developers happy is that they see the dawn of hope for the real estate industry and their hard days are about to end.

The champion of Miss Hong Kong automatically qualifies for Miss Universe. Gao Lihong, the champion of Miss Hong Kong in 84, also participated in the Miss Universe competition and won the third place in the Best National Costume Award.

However, in Hong Kong, the popularity of Miss Universe is not very high and is slightly inferior to that of Miss Hong Kong.

The popularity of Miss Hong Kong gradually faded, and Gao Lihong's Cantonese was not good, so she lost a lot of advantages.

But Gao Lihong still wanted to make some money with the title of Miss Hong Kong champion, so she went to Baoxiang Film Company to interview for a supporting role in a movie.

This was a script written by Luo Qihong, and since Luo Qihong was free, he attended the interview and interviewed those actors.

The first few girls did not perform well, and Luo Qihong was very dissatisfied with this. Although she was only a supporting role, she had a lot of scenes and could be said to be the fourth protagonist of the whole movie.

"The champion of Miss Hong Kong?!" Luo Qihong looked at Gao Lihong's profile and recalled his past life. He said to Fatty Hong, "I think she's pretty. What do you think, Mr. Hong?"

Hong Jinbao was a little confused and couldn't understand why Luo Qihong suddenly asked this question, but he still answered promptly, "Yes, she is beautiful. The Miss Hong Kong champion is not far behind."

"Let's ask Miss Xiangjiang to come in and let us see her acting skills." Luo Qihong laughed and glanced at Fatty Hong inadvertently.

Soon, Gao Lihong walked in.

Watching her closely, Luo Qihong felt that Gao Lihong was indeed more eye-catching than Gao Huiming. He was referring to her overall image, not just her face.

Gao Lihong is of Chinese and Australian descent, and her European white style is very unique, which is quite fresh to Luo Qihong, but it is just eye-catching.

After all, Luo Qihong is still a very traditional Chinese. He still cannot appreciate women who are neither Chinese nor Western, but he is okay with playing with them.

But considering Fatty Hong, he still felt that he should not go too far. After all, Fatty Hong was also making money for him and they would still meet in the future.
