Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 328 329 [Can’t Help Directly]

Then, after Aigo finished selling off Wing On Group’s shares, it announced that its acquisition of Wing On Group had failed, but it did not explain why it did not continue with the acquisition or how much profit it had made from it.

As a result, rumors spread. Some said that AMG was just following convention and taking the opportunity to attack Wing On Group, then driving up the stock price and leaving with a profit. Others said that the Guo family had already acquired almost half of Wing On Group’s shares, and AMG had to give up the acquisition under pressure.
Due to the bad behavior of Aigo, some members of the Guo family said that Liu Luanxiong saw some problems with Wing On Bank and wanted to attack Wing On Group, take the opportunity to obtain high profits, and deceived all shareholders.

Liu Luanxiong has already made a profit and left, and is too lazy to get involved in an argument with the Guo family. Now he is chatting with Luo Qihong with a smile on his face.

From the case of sniping Wing On Group, Aimego Company made a profit of 1 million yuan without spending a penny. It not only accumulated a huge amount of original capital, but also allowed Liu Luanxiong to accumulate a lot of experience.

“Bang bang!!”

Liu Luanxiong and Luo Qihong clinked their glasses with smiles on their faces.

After this case, Liu Luanxiong has already seen himself becoming one of the richest people in Hong Kong.

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu for becoming famous in one battle!" Luo Qihong took a sip of red wine and said casually with a smile.

"Haha!! Congratulations!! Mr. Luo, you also made a profit of more than 2 million." Liu Luanxiong said in a tone of seeking credit. This battle really made him full of confidence. He would not need Luo Qihong's help for the next sniper case.

"I have to thank Mr. Liu for helping me make so much money." Luo Qihong is not a stingy person. No matter what, he gets the lion's share of the profits.

"Mr. Luo, you're too polite. If I had your funds, I would just have an idea." Liu Luanxiong didn't want to destroy the network of relationships he had worked so hard to build, and he might need Luo Qihong's help in the future.

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, do you plan to take a break or continue working?"

Liu Luanxiong licked his lips, put down the goblet, and said seriously, "No need to rest, strike while the iron is hot. I want to start the Star Ferry Company next. If I can get it, then I can have some capital."

The Star Ferry Company not only monopolized the ferry business in Hong Kong, but also owned a large amount of real estate under the management of Li Zhaoji. It was an extremely high-quality company that could be regarded as the foundation of a family.

When Li Zhaoji had not yet owned the Electric Light Company, he regarded the Star Ferry Company as the base of his family. However, now that he owned the Electric Light Company, the status of the Star Ferry Company plummeted and became an ordinary company.

"The Star Ferry case is up to you. Li Zhaoji and I have an agreement that we cannot do anything to his companies at will." Luo Qihong leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.

He was not afraid of Li Zhaoji, but the Star Ferry Company was not that important and had no legitimate reason to do so.

He is not Liu Luanxiong, who can attack a tycoon or a family at will. What he cares about is the loss of reputation.

Of course, if he were in the same situation as Liu Luanxiong, he would not care about his notoriety. Notoriety is something that only people would care about when they have enough wealth.

Just like when people are well fed and well clothed, they will have a sense of propriety, righteousness, and honor. "I know that!" Liu Luanxiong nodded. In fact, he did not want to give a share to Luo Qihong, because he wanted to take over the Star Ferry. This was not a simple sniper case.

"Luo Sheng, don't worry, I will return all the funds to you before the sniper case."

Luo Qihong smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gestured, saying, "Don't be too anxious. Dealing with Li Zhaoji is different from dealing with the Guo family. The Guo family is in the sunset, while Li Zhaoji is in the sun. You'd better be well prepared."

"I understand this. Li Zhaoji is much more powerful than the entire Guo family, but I won't force it. If I really can't acquire the company, I will just cash out and leave. Fighting with Li Zhaoji for a long time will be too disadvantageous for me."

"I don't think Li Zhaoji will delay for too long. He initially acquired old buildings, merged buildings, and vigorously developed his real estate business. The funds cannot be transferred too quickly. He will probably choose a bank loan, and like you, he will need to pay a lot of interest." Luo Qihong helped analyze.

"Mr. Luo, do you think my funds will be more abundant than Li Zhaoji's?" Liu Luanxiong asked seriously. Fighting a war with wealth and fighting a war with insufficient funds are two different concepts, and there are also different plans.

"It's hard to say. It depends on whether you hold enough shares to make a comparison." Luo Qihong would not make too many promises.

Liu Luanxiong hesitated for a moment and said, "Li Zhaoji holds 23.7% of the shares of Star Ferry Company. I must get at least 20% to initiate the acquisition. According to the current share price, it is 2 million yuan. Aigo Company has 2 million yuan in funds, which means there is 2 million yuan left."

"Mr. Liu, 5 million yuan is not enough. Do you want to issue shares? I think if Aimico issues shares, it won't be a problem to get 1 or 2 million yuan." Luo Qihong thought carefully, "It's better to issue shares before taking action."

Liu Luanxiong nodded and said, "I have also considered this suggestion. It is necessary to sacrifice some personal interests to expand the company. But I am worried that Li Zhaoji will seek peace through you."

"Haha!! Are you still afraid of this, Mr. Liu? Are you worried that I will buy Li Zhaoji's face and put pressure on you?" Luo Qihong laughed, "Don't worry, you can still do what you should do. If you still have concerns, you might as well borrow the power of public opinion and show off before Li Zhaoji surrenders, so that Li Zhaoji can't come back to you."

"That's a good idea. The market value of Star Ferry is 11 billion. If you want to acquire it successfully, you will probably need at least 5 million, and you will also face the risk of a full acquisition." Liu Luanxiong didn't really want to make it a sniper attack.

Luo Qihong thought about it carefully. "I also had such concerns when I acquired Wheelock. It involved several billion yuan of funds, which was almost all of my wealth. But in the end, it was successfully resolved. So don't worry about a full acquisition. I believe that even if it is a full acquisition, there will be banks that provide you with loans."

Liu Luanxiong nodded and said, "Well, there may be some things in the acquisition process that require Luo Sheng's help. Luo Sheng must help me then."

Luo Qihong nodded and said, "We are all friends, so it's no problem to give some advice."

"Then let me thank Mr. Luo first." Liu Luanxiong said with a fist clasped.

Luo Qihong smiled. Although he was still a member of the electric light company's board of directors, he had a lot of resentment towards Li Zhaoji. This guy did things just like Li Jiacheng, both were unkind people, so it was a good idea to let Liu Luanxiong, the bad guy, deal with Li Zhaoji.

Moreover, Hong Kong's industries are too concentrated in the hands of one person, which is a considerable obstacle to future development. If Luo Qihong wants to become the largest businessman in Hong Kong, he must be even more powerful than several tycoons combined.
