Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 329 330 [Just for this matter? ]

Liu Luanxiong is quite good at sniping. Since he can't take Luo Qihong to eat meat this time, Luo Qihong can go and have a drink of soup by himself, and he will make some profit at least.

If the battle is fierce, earning tens of millions will be a piece of cake.

In his previous life, Liu Luanxiong targeted China Gas Company, which had a market value of more than 40 billion yuan at the time. However, after the battle, Liu Luanxiong only made a profit of 1 million yuan.

This time the Star Ferry company is smaller in size, but it has the experience of sniping the Wing On Group. It has a lot more experience than in the previous life, and can achieve a higher level.

Luo Qihong looked at the furnishings in front of him, playing with the tumbler in his hand, and thought for a moment before saying, "This piece of land next to Harbour City is indeed valuable. It is twice as good as the No. 28 Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui that we acquired last time."

"However, the disadvantages are also obvious. The bottom three floors will be handed over to the Hong Kong government as a bus and taxi terminal and parking lot. It will also be connected to Kowloon Park and a passenger terminal will be built. Finally, it is required to be built into a world-class landmark building."

"The Hong Kong government is talking big, saying that the land area is nearly 15 square feet. In fact, there are many buildings on the water, and we can only use less than 10 square feet. The construction cost may be more than billion yuan."

Buildings on water are very troublesome; they cannot be built too high and the load-bearing requirements are very strict.

Su Qishan said solemnly, "The initial financial pressure is not small, but the return in the later stage will be huge. It is a good opportunity for us."

"It's an opportunity, but how good it is depends on one's opinion." Luo Qihong said with a wry smile, "For a plot of land of more than 2 square feet, the Hong Kong government only offered a reserve price of 6 million yuan. You can imagine the problems involved."

In Hong Kong, the most expensive land is in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, and Canton Road is an extremely prosperous area in Tsim Sha Tsui. For example, the land at No. 28 Canton Road in the last auction was priced at more than 1 yuan per square foot.

If sold at this price, the land would cost at least 22 billion, which is almost the same as the land price in Admiralty.

"Boss, do you mean we won't bid anymore?" Su Qishan was slightly surprised. The boss was a good friend of his in the real estate industry, so why would he say something like that?

"Of course I have to bid, but I have to think carefully about the bid price." Luo Qihong touched his chin, staring at the objects on the table in a daze.

"I think the price of 3 million yuan should be enough to get it," said Su Qishan.

The price premium of 3.3 million yuan is less than 3%, which makes it not very competitive at all.

He remembered that in his previous life, Sun Hung Kai Properties won the bid for this piece of land, but he forgot the exact price, which was the most troublesome thing.

However, considering the butterfly effect in this life, the winning bid price in the previous life has only some reference value, and ultimately we still have to use professional qualities to make judgments.

Luo Qihong felt that a very high premium would be needed, preferably 100%, to guarantee that he would get the project.

"No, 3.3 million yuan is too low." Luo Qihong shook his head and rejected Su Qishan's suggestion.

Su Qishan glanced at the boss and proposed another price, "6% premium, 4 million yuan, how about it?"

Luo Qihong thought for a while and said, "The preliminary bid price is 4 million. You should continue to collect information about other companies participating in the bidding. Whether it is true or false, you must report it to me."

"Yes!" A smile appeared on Su Qishan's lips. He knew that the boss was determined to get this piece of land.

Dehe Real Estate Company has been silent for such a long time, and its popularity is many times weaker than that of Zhaoan Real Estate Company. Now it is rising up with the two plots of land in Admiralty and Canton Road, and becoming a weather vane in the Hong Kong real estate industry.

His fame, Su Qishan, will soon catch up with the three giants of Zhaoan Real Estate, and he will become the only giant under the boss of Dehe Real Estate Company.

A high-end residential building in Mid-Levels
Zhang Manyu was placed here by Luo Qihong so that it would be convenient for him to come and take a look.

Originally, Luo Qihong wanted to buy this place and give it to Maggie Cheung, but unfortunately it was a property of the Jardine Maggie Cheung and was only rented out and not sold.

Zhang Manyu liked this place very much and didn't want to move somewhere else, so Luo Qihong had to sign a three-year lease with the real estate company and paid three years' rent so that Zhang Manyu could live here with peace of mind.

This is a luxury house with an area of ​​1 square feet. The monthly rent is as high as 8 yuan, which costs 1 yuan a year, not including property fees and other expenses.

Calculated in this way, the annual cost would be at least 30 yuan, which is Zhang Manyu's total annual income at present.

"Why didn't you tell me that you lost money in stock trading?" Luo Qihong asked in a pretended angry tone. He also heard from others that Zhang Manyu borrowed money from everywhere to fill the hole.

Zhang Manyu pursed her lips, feeling extremely guilty, and did not dare to look up at Luo Qihong.

"I thought that after the stock market rebounded, I would be able to settle the debt smoothly, but I didn't expect the interest to be so high. I can hardly pay it back."

"Bank loans are not much lower than those from financial companies outside. Even if the interest rate is 10%, it is enough for you to pay back." Luo Qihong noticed the watch on Zhang Manyu's wrist and said, "Why don't you want to sell the watch to support yourself for a while?"

Zhang Manyu covered her watch with her right hand and said, "I never thought of selling it."

Luo Qihong walked over, hugged Zhang Manyu, and said with a smile, "It's just a small matter. Haven't you heard about the projects I invested in recently? They are all worth over 100 million yuan. The money you lost may not even be worth the money for a meal."

Zhang Manyu leaned her head on Luo Qihong's shoulder and said softly, "I don't want to trouble you. I just want to make a little money, not become a rich man."

"It's too easy to make a small fortune. I'll help you pay off your debts and give you 50 yuan to invest in stocks. Just buy shares of the Star Ferry Company." Luo Qihong said, "Doubling 50 yuan is not a problem."

"Yeah!" Zhang Manyu felt that it was not in line with her personality to take the initiative to ask for something. If Luo Qihong was willing to give it, she would not keep refusing.

Luo Qihong took out a bunch of keys, waved them in front of Zhang Manyu's sight, and said, "This is a villa in Ho Man Tin. It has been registered in your name. You can go and have a look when you have time. The scenery there is nice."

Dehe Real Estate Company has been acquiring residential properties recently, with townhouses and single-family villas being the largest, and high-end residences ranking second, so he took one and gave it to Zhang Manyu.

After all, I have been dating Zhang Manyu for almost a year, so it is time to show some appreciation.

Of course, I usually have a lot of jewelry, but this is the first time that the property has given me a gift.

Zhang Manyu took the key without any excitement or embarrassment, and said, "I think it's better to live here in the Mid-Levels. I like to overlook Central and see the scenery of Victoria Harbour."

"It's good to change the scenery occasionally. Later, I will buy you a villa on the top of the mountain. The view there will be better." Luo Qihong wrote Zhang Manyu a blank check.

Zhang Manyu said, "The villa on Peak Road is too expensive. It's better for me to live here, or wait until I have enough funds in the future."

"Okay, whatever you want!" Luo Qihong said with a smile, "Then I'll teach you how to trade stocks. This way of investment makes money faster."

"Okay, can I tell my friends about this?" Zhang Manyu went on to explain, "Some of them have also lost a lot of money in the stock market, and I want them to be able to make it back."

"Forget about the Star Ferry company mentioned earlier. Let them invest in Hang Lung and Wheelock. These two companies will have good growth in the short term. If they are patient, you can ask them to buy Chinese Estates Holdings." Luo Qihong certainly would not be stingy with the information.

"How much will the first two companies increase this year? Roughly speaking," Zhang Manyu asked.

"It won't be too big, between 20% and 30%." Luo Qihong smiled slightly.

Without any acquisition or news of huge profits, a 2% increase in half a year is already very good.

"That's not a small amount. It's much more than what they earn from filming." Zhang Manyu smiled slightly.

The two chatted warmly and rhythmically. Gradually, as the night deepened, some pleasant sounds were heard in the room.

The next morning
Luo Qihong came to Daoheng Group for a meeting as agreed, which was actually a negotiation between Luo Qihong and the Guo Lingcan brothers.

"Mr. Luo, the matter of ICBC still needs further discussion, and the result may not come until the end of the year." Guo Lingcan said, his face full of dejection. He didn't expect the Hong Kong government to be so difficult to deal with.

"Take it slow. I have anticipated this. Mr. Guo might consider taking over the entire Overseas Trust Bank." Luo Qihong suggested.

Guo Lingcan thought deeply and said, "I have considered this suggestion, but if we don't take over ICBC, Dah Sing Bank will take it away. The overseas trust issue is not mature yet."

It is the habit of capitalists to eat what is in front of them first, while keeping their eyes on the next thing.

"Well, let's take over ICBC first." Luo Qihong chuckled, "Mr. Guo didn't ask me to come here just for this, right?"
