Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 417 Chapter 419 [Roland]

Luo Qihong spent such a huge price not just to support Liu Luanxiong. At this time, Liu Luanxiong had already grown strong.

Luo Qihong's goal is to obtain the shares of large hotel groups held by Chinese Estates Holdings, which may play a key role.

That's why Luo Qihong gave up so many interests and helped Liu Luanxiong to make plans and suppress Li Zhaoji.

Of course, Luo Qihong felt a little regretful. He should have let Luo Qixing do it in the first place. Even if he had to give up his interests, they were still family members.

At this point, there is no time to regret and I can only persevere.

The land price in Wan Chai has risen now, catching up with that in Tsim Sha Tsui.

According to Luo Qihong's estimate, the land covering an area of ​​1.8 square feet can be built into a commercial building with a floor area of ​​50 square feet, worth more than tens of billions of yuan, which is more expensive than some small commercial buildings in Central.

Such a commercial building in Wan Chai makes Luo Qihong a little envious. After all, there has not been much progress on the third tower of Dehe Plaza.

Li Zhaoji did not take advantage of Luo Qihong and was prepared to acquire the company at a 1% premium.

Of course, Li Zhaoji still made hundreds of millions in profits, and it was calculated based on the current land prices.

After entering the 90s, the land price in Hong Kong rose even more sharply, which means that Li Zhaoji made more than hundreds of millions.

I have to say, this is a good deal.

The acquisition of Miramar Hotel Enterprises has come to an end. People outside say that this was a tycoon contest between Luo Qihong and Li Zhaoji, and the Yang Jingyun family and Liu Luanxiong were just supporting roles.

When the reporter interviewed Luo Qihong, they asked this question, wanting Luo Qihong to say something in the affirmative so that they would have something to write about.

Unfortunately, a seasoned veteran like Luo Qihong would not fall into the trap of saying that he was just a guest and Liu was the protagonist.

……

End of march
Luo Qihong accepted an invitation to interview Roland Gardos at CLP Group to discuss the land issue of the old power plant in Hok Yuen, Hung Hom.

He was determined to win this project and at the same time take down Li Jiacheng.

Roland Scarborough is already 88 years old and still firmly controls the CLP Group. It seems that he has no intention of letting Michael take over early. It seems that the old guy has no intention of passing on the position.

Luo Qihong and the Kadoorie family are somewhat at odds with each other, but interests come first and no one wants to completely fall out.

If he didn't care about this, Luo Qihong would have already gone to war with the Kadoorie family, and the hotel group with assets worth more than 10 billion would have fallen into Luo Qihong's hands.

"Mr. Luo is indeed a rare hero in Hong Kong. In just ten years, he has surpassed Superman Li and the charter king." When Rolands Caddie saw Luo Qihong, he immediately praised him.

"Sir Roland, you are too kind! I am just lucky and met a good opportunity. If I had competed with those predecessors at the same time, I might not have achieved the current results." Luo Qihong said somewhat against his will.

Although Lawrence is the second-generation heir, he is quite capable, otherwise he would not be able to support China Power Group.

In Luo Qihong's eyes, Luo Lanshi is not much worse than people like Li Jiacheng, but Luo Lanshi's style is more conservative. He is also somewhat enterprising, but not much.

"Mr. Luo is different from what the outside world has rumored, and his working style is somewhat different." Luo Lanshi's words were suggestive, hinting at Luo Qihong's acquisition of the Grand Hotel Group.

"Sir, I am both humble and domineering. I am humble in life and domineering in work. I think you will understand." Luo Qihong smiled and said, "If it weren't for me, someone else would have taken action against the Grand Hotel Group." "The asset value of the Grand Hotel Group is too high, and your family's shareholding is too low. Hong Kong is too small. If you want to develop, you naturally have to use some extraordinary means."

"The Grand Hotel Group is just one of my investment projects. If your family can run it well and bring good profits to shareholders, I will certainly not force you to do anything."

This statement leaves room for maneuver, as it is Luo Qihong who will judge whether the business performance is good or not.

Luo Lanshi said calmly, "Well, I believe in Luo Sheng's ability. I feel relieved to have you and Michael manage the Grand Hotel Group."

"Michael has already told me that you want to cooperate with CLP Group to develop the old power plant site in Hok Yuen, Hung Hom."

"That piece of land is industrial in nature and requires a large land premium. Compared with Luo Sheng, Li Chaoren has a greater advantage in this regard, so I would rather cooperate with Cheung Kong."

"Superman Li has already had several land premium negotiations with the Hong Kong government. The officials of the Hong Kong government have been trained to be very smart. They are also familiar with Superman Li's tactics. It is very likely that they will delay the negotiation until the market is prosperous and the land price is high. Doing so will only waste opportunities and make the Hong Kong government wake up." Luo Qihong laughed.

"What's Luo Sheng's opinion?"

"I can also negotiate the land compensation fee, but I have very good conditions. Sir, you should have heard about the cooperation between Zhaoan Real Estate and Baoli Technology Company in the Lam Tin Metro Station project, right?" Luo Qihong replied, "I can let Zhaoan Real Estate and my private company bear the land compensation fee, construction fee, and tax, and I guarantee that this project can make a profit of more than 50 billion yuan, and the net profit will not be less than 45%."

"I think it would be difficult for Li Chaoren to agree to such a condition."

Luo Lanshi's face changed slightly. This condition was very tempting. The total project expenditure would definitely not be less than 50 billion yuan, which would be very beneficial to the current capital shortage of China Power Group.

Luo Qihong has a very accurate grasp of the future situation in the local market. Although Li Jiacheng has the same prediction, he dare not play it that way. If he fails, Cheung Kong Group will suffer a huge loss.

Li Jiacheng has always been very cautious in doing business and will not take risks or do anything that would be disadvantageous to himself.

Cheung Kong Group is controlled by Li Kar-shing, but the board of directors has a group of powerful directors, such as Cheng Yu-tung and Kwok Tak-sing.

If there are any problems, this group of people can take over at any time.

"If it were up to you, when would you like to negotiate with the Hong Kong government? How much land compensation would you be willing to pay?" said Lawrence.

"In the second half of next year, the land compensation fee will definitely not exceed 20 billion yuan. Sir, don't worry, Zhaoan Real Estate will try its best to lower the land compensation fee." Luo Qihong said.

Luo Lanshi nodded. He was more optimistic about Luo Qihong. Not many people dared to make such a bet, and Li Jiacheng might not dare to do so.

Moreover, Luo Qihong can always accurately avoid stock market crashes and buy at the bottom in time. Such powerful analytical ability is terrifying.

At the same time, Luo Qihong is a real estate tycoon. He even dared to target the Jardine Matheson Group and made a profit without any problems, which shows his ability to judge the situation.

The only thing missing is personal connections.

Luo Lanshi suddenly remembered that there was a rumor in the market: Luo Qihong had already secured his position as one of the four major families in Hong Kong. He scoffed at it at the time, but now it seems to be true.

In the end, Lawrence did not make clear its intention to cooperate, but only said that it would consider it.

Of course, this is a big project and it is not something that can be easily decided by two people alone. It also requires the company's top management to slowly discuss it.

The later stages may require lengthy negotiations or even arguments.
