Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 356 357 [A woman who acts like a spoiled child has a good fate]

Chinese Estates Company Office

The decoration here is very ordinary, giving people a sense of simple beauty, but the interior furnishings are very dazzling, with colorful antiques and golden gold items, which are incompatible with the simplicity of the decoration.

Liu Luanxiong moved in in a hurry, so he naturally couldn't keep up with the renovation, so he could only do it reluctantly.

Today, Liu Luanxiong is worth more than 10 billion yuan. As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, there is basically no possibility of bankruptcy. Therefore, it is understandable that he has changed from being frugal to being extravagant.

Luo Qihong understood this emotion. He had it too at first, but he suppressed it with all his might. Now it has become very calm and he is not so eager for these dazzling things.

"Chinese Estates needs 20 billion in funds to acquire Harcourt House in Wan Chai and Windsor House in Causeway Bay. How do you plan to solve this problem?" Luo Qihong sniffed the fragrant coffee.

"First, take out a loan, then raise funds." Liu Luanxiong said seriously, "I did this for two purposes: to force Asia Securities to withdraw from China Real Estate and to add strong assets to China Real Estate. I want to do more while the market is booming."

"To raise 20 billion yuan, Aimigo needs to issue shares worth at least 8 million yuan. I'm afraid Aimigo doesn't have this amount of funds." Luo Qihong said with a smile.

He had some guesses about Liu Luanxiong's plan, but he couldn't confirm it.

"What Luo Sheng said is right. Even if Evergreen has the funds, I don't." Liu Luanxiong said his real purpose. "I want China Resources Land to become the mother of the company. The Star Ferry Company should also be sold to China Resources Land to offset the funds needed for the rights issue."

This is a big project, and it has a bit of Luo Xurui's flavor in it.

This is how the Regal Hotels and Paliburg Investments operated in the past, and it successfully helped Luo Xurui save a lot of money and clear up cross-debt problems.

Although Wharf Holdings and Aigo do not have complicated debt problems, they can clear Aigo's debts and transfer them to small shareholders, specifically, the small shareholders of Wharf Holdings.

However, the small shareholders of Aigo did not make any profit. The only ones who made a profit were Liu Luanxiong and Luo Qihong.

"Then how do I convert my equity?" Luo Qihong asked.

Liu Luanxiong felt a little embarrassed and glanced at Luo Qihong with confusion.

"Big Liu, are you planning to reduce my shareholding?" Luo Qihong smiled slightly. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I only invested in Aigo Company in the beginning. Everything else was done by you, Big Liu. It has little to do with me."

"Don't worry, Luo Sheng. I won't let you suffer any loss." Liu Luanxiong said anxiously, "I plan to let you hold 5% of the shares of Huazhi. I will buy the rest of the shares at a high price, so that you can make a lot of money."

"Okay, I agree with your plan." Luo Qihong said, "But I want you to implement this plan as soon as possible, get the two buildings of the Land Company as soon as possible, and transfer the China Entertainment Real Estate Company to me."

The previous request made Liu Luanxiong ponder. What did Luo Sheng want to do?
"The acquisition of the Landmark by the four major family consortiums will definitely fail. The impact of your discussion with the Landmark on the acquisition of the building will be minimal. Don't feel any psychological burden." Luo Qihong straightened his clothes and continued, "When they fail, are you interested in making a big profit from the Landmark?"

Hearing this, Liu Luanxiong widened his eyes and couldn't help swallowing.

"Luo Sheng, do you want to take over the shares of the four major family consortiums? The funds involved are probably more than 4 billion."

"I know." Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Your fellow villager Li Chaoren doesn't want to take me to play, so I can invite others to play by myself. That's no problem, right?"

Liu Luanxiong sensed a lot of resentment. It seemed that Luo Sheng and Li Chaoren were in a conflict, and there was no possibility of easing the situation.

Liu Luanxiong was wondering whether to stand with Luo Qihong or remain neutral?
Li Jiacheng's methods are sharp, Luo Qihong's methods are ruthless, and the latter's style is more similar to his, so future cooperation may be inevitable.

"Okay, I understand what you mean, Luo Sheng. I will negotiate with the Jardine Matheson Group to acquire the property as soon as possible." Liu Luanxiong still couldn't resist the temptation of huge profits.

Li Jiacheng invited a group of senior wealthy people to play games, and Luo Qihong then gathered a group of new wealthy people to play the same game, forming his own network of interpersonal relationships.

Although he and Cheng Yu-tung have a special relationship, Cheng Yu-tung is ultimately of the same generation as Li Kar-shing, and he approves of Li Kar-shing's style of doing things and is willing to hang out with that group of people.

There is nothing to mind about this, but you must also take your own actions and not be completely constrained.

Return to Dean Securities Investment Company.

As soon as Luo Qihong sat down, he said to Bai Jinyan, "Start buying shares of Hong Kong Land and Jardine Matheson immediately, but don't be too blatant."

"What happened? Why are we targeting these two big companies?" Bai Jinyan asked with a little surprise.

"It wasn't us who targeted these two companies, it was someone else," Luo Qihong explained briefly. "This matter is still confidential, so don't leak it."

"Aren't you going to participate?" Bai Jinyan asked excitedly. This was a peak that was difficult for Hong Kong businessmen to surpass. Now that it was going to be acquired by a Chinese-funded consortium, it would be very easy to participate.

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "They don't want me to participate. Instead of forcing myself and owing them a favor, I might as well drink some soup and wait for the opportunity."

"What are your plans?" Bai Jinyan felt that this matter was not simple.

"The possibility of failure of the acquisition by these four families is as high as 8%. We can wait and see and think about the hidden flaws. Perhaps if we fix these flaws, we can succeed." Luo Qihong said cunningly.

"The funds involved are huge. Should we prepare in advance? But this will easily affect our other investment projects and the company's development plans." Bai Jinyan pointed out the difficulties.

Advance preparation is a very long process, because Jardine Matheson and Landsea are both super large companies, and the process of mobilizing funds is very complicated.

This is also the reason why Li Jiacheng joined forces with the other three families to launch the acquisition. It is not that he does not have the strength to acquire, but that the matter is too big and the impact is too great, so he cannot go all out.

"No need for that. It will be enough for you to mobilize the company's funds to acquire 3% to 5%. The rest will be done by other companies under it and me personally." Luo Qihong said cautiously.

Today, the market value of the Hong Kong Land Development is over 2 billion yuan. Although Jardine Matheson Holdings has only a few billion yuan, it is not a simple commodity. Even a 3% stake requires 7 to 8 million yuan in funds, which is not a small number.

"Okay." "Ding-ling-ling!" Before Bai Jinyan could respond, the mobile phone on the desk rang.

After Luo Qihong answered the call, he couldn't help but frown and said, "I'll be right there."

"What's the matter?" Bai Jinyan asked after seeing Luo Qihong hang up the phone.

Luo Qihong stood up and picked up the coat on the back of the chair. "Some urgent matters, please do as I just said, and we will discuss other matters later."

Seeing Luo Qihong so anxious, Bai Jinyan couldn't help but think deeply. After a while, he murmured to himself, "Guan Jiahui should be giving birth. The due date is in these few days."

"Why should I be so greedy for my life? I brought this upon myself."

When they arrived at Causeway Bay Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital, Kwan Ka Hui had already been pushed into the delivery room, and Kwan Shan was wandering outside the corridor, looking very worried.

"Ah Hong, why did you come just now? Jiahui has been pushed in." Guan Shan was so panicked that he even dared to blame Luo Qihong.

Luo Qihong was not angry either. He nodded and said, "Don't worry. The Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital is very good. Jiahui will be fine."

"Yeah!" Guan Shan glanced at the delivery room and could only nod.

Luo Qihong sat for a while and felt that the two men were silent and the atmosphere was not good, so he took the initiative to speak to ease the situation. "I heard that Uncle Guan's business is doing well, and many film companies are looking for you for equipment."

Guan Shan had no intention of taking Luo Qihong's words into consideration. "Ah? What did you say?"

Luo Qihong repeated it again.

"Business has been okay lately, but I'm not making much money. There's a lot of competition, and there are also gangs causing trouble," Guan Shan said with a sigh.

"To do these businesses, you always have to deal with community groups. Even the Hong Kong government can't do anything to them. Sometimes I have to negotiate with them. There's nothing I can do about it." Luo Qihong smiled slightly.

"That's also true," Guan Shan took over the conversation, and the atmosphere became much more lively.

It was not until 12: in the morning that Guan Jiahui gave birth and was taken out of the delivery room.

Luo Qihong just held his son for a while before letting the nurse take him away. The newborn baby needed to stay in the incubator for some time.

Because it was a natural birth, Guan Jiahui's face was very pale, but she still had some energy.

"Where is my son?" Guan Jiahui stared at Luo Qihong with her big, round eyes and reached out to tug at the corner of Luo Qihong's clothes.

"He's in the incubator. You can see him when you wake up." Luo Qihong grabbed her hand.

"Is he ugly? People always say newborn babies are ugly." Guan Jiahui smiled.

"It's a bit ugly, and quite similar to you." Luo Qihong said jokingly.

"Humph! Who dares to say that I'm ugly? I'm a famous beauty in Hong Kong, otherwise why would you want me?" Guan Jiahui snorted, "It's obviously you who are ugly, and you made your son ugly too."

"Okay! I'm ugly." Luo Qihong smiled bitterly. He couldn't bear to argue with a woman who had just given birth.

"I gave birth to a son for you. How are you going to reward me?" Guan Jiahui took the opportunity to ask for something.

Luo Qihong blurted out, "What do you want?"

"Last time you gave me a shopping mall, this time I want a better one." Guan Jiahui said somewhat arrogantly.

"They are just properties, what's so good about them? How about I reward you with some properties, such as restaurants or something like that?" Luo Qihong said bluffingly.

The recent market prices have increased dramatically. A good commercial building costs tens of millions, which is really painful.

Guan Jiahui pursed her lips and said, "What's so good about restaurants? I just like shopping malls."

Guan Shan's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect his daughter's net worth was so high, while he only had a few million. The difference was like heaven and earth.

"Okay, then I'll ask someone to help you find one." Seeing that Guan Jiahui was not fooled, Luo Qihong didn't want to force it. After all, it was for his son, so there was no need to be stingy.

"Why don't you give me the China Entertainment Properties Company that you just acquired? I want a listed company?" Guan Jiahui looked at Luo Qihong with eyes full of hope.

"Do you know how much China Entertainment Properties is worth?" Luo Qihong laughed.

"How much can it be? Isn't it 2 or 3 million? You are one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, how can you be so stingy to me?" Guan Jiahui turned her face away, pretending to be angry.

"China Entertainment Properties is not just a company, it also involves many of my plans. I can't give it to you for the time being." Luo Qihong said seriously, "I'll give you a commercial building in Wan Chai, but you have to wait for a while."

Seeing that Luo Qihong's smile had faded, Guan Jiahui tactfully said, "Okay, the commercial building in Wan Chai will be in Wan Chai. The money will arrive this year."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to do it for you." Luo Qihong was also a little helpless. This woman was used to acting like a spoiled child and asking for things.

Guan Shan took a deep breath, he knew that a commercial building in Wan Chai would cost at least 5 million yuan, and he had given it before. It seemed that he was working so hard but it was not as good as letting his daughter act coquettishly. What kind of world was this?

Luo Qihong stayed in the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital that night. Even though he had private care, he still did some things, which shows that he really likes Guan Jiahui.
