Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 43 043 [Win-win Cooperation] (Please collect)
Sunday, November 2

罗齐鸿从《东方日报》上面看到了伊人置业公司的广告，内容是伊人置业公司耗资1180万元收购豪丰地产公司旗下的铜锣湾富明街2号铺面、利园山道39号铺面.一共6个铺面，面积合计5324平方尺，可得月租金32000元。

As it is Sunday, the four major exchanges are closed, but good news for Yiren Real Estate Company is brewing. Although the stock price will not increase too much, it can also make the market value of Yiren Real Estate Company close to or exceed 1 million yuan.

Although it seems to be just a few million increase in market value, it can actually allow Yiren Real Estate Company to enter the club of companies with a market value of 100 million yuan and become a medium-sized asset company among small real estate companies.

Luo Qihong has sold nearly half of the shares of Yiren Real Estate Company in his hands. If the stock price had risen more rapidly on Monday, the average selling price might have reached 2 yuan.

Luo Qihong inadvertently glanced at Guan Jiahui who was lying on the sofa. Ever since he slept with her, this woman started to act a little sloppy. She didn't have any of her former diligence and was not as enthusiastic when greeting guests.

After thinking about it, Luo Qihong didn't bother to pay attention to Guan Jiahui. He liked Guan Jiahui's appearance, not the person, so he didn't need to care too much. Besides, he was past the time when he could make a living by relying on the business of Hehong Real Estate Company.

As for Guan Jiahui's expenses, Luo Qihong was very frugal. He only promised to give Guan Jiahui 1500 yuan a month for living expenses, and he was not responsible for anything else.

Luo Qihong felt that it was a good deal to keep a Hong Kong beauty for 1500 yuan, because when going out to play, better women would cost this price, but Guan Jiahui could be played with by him for a month.

However, Luo Qihong finally decided to stimulate Guan Jiahui. "The recent stock market situation is really good. As long as there is enough capital, it is no problem to make several thousand a month."

Guan Jiahui thought of the amount of money Luo Qihong had earned in the stock market, and suddenly became interested. She knew that Luo Qihong was very rich, but would not give her more money, so she thought that she should rely on herself to earn money, so that she could have more security.

Guan Jiahui's family experience is not very good. Even her father and mother are unreliable. It is unlikely that she will completely trust anyone. Even if she has physical contact with Luo Qihong, she will not become dependent on him for the time being.

"How much money did I make in the stock market with my 2000 yuan capital?" asked Guan Jiahui.

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Luo Qihong smiled and said, "I already have more than 3000 yuan. If I were you, I would increase the investment capital. Maybe by March, the capital can become 3 yuan."

As long as you control the money of the money-grubber, he will be obedient.

"1 yuan?!" Guan Jiahui thought for a moment and said, "How about you give me more money and raise the principal to 1 yuan directly? If I make money, I don't need to ask you for money in the future."

Luo Qihong shook his head. "It's best to have your own money. If that's the case, why don't I just give you the money directly?"

Guan Jiahui still didn't give up. She hugged Luo Qihong's arms and acted coquettishly and cutely. Unfortunately, Luo Qihong insisted on not giving her the money. Even though Guan Jiahui said that she would deduct it from the monthly 1500 yuan in the future, Luo Qihong did not give in at all.

"I can give you money, but you have to trade the stocks yourself." Seeing Guan Jiahui's sullen face, Luo Qihong changed his words, "There are two choices, choose one."

Guan Jiahui knows nothing about the stock market, so it would be better to let her spend the money directly than to give her money to invest in stocks.

In the end, Guan Jiahui didn't get any advantage. As she was a money-grubber, she had to start "struggling" again and actively serve customers who wanted to buy or rent houses.

In the afternoon, Luo Qihong took a taxi to No. 6 Cheung Lok Street, Jordan, Kowloon City.

This is a large shop that Luo Qihong found through his peers. It has an area of ​​1232 square feet and was previously used for catering business.

The market price of the shops here is higher than that in Causeway Bay, about 10% higher. A real estate agent said that the owner wants HK$2350 per square foot, which means that this shop costs HK$289.

It’s not that Luo Qihong can’t afford the price, but he can lower it a little to save costs.

"Mr. Wu, 2350 yuan per square foot is a bit expensive. Can it be reduced to 2200 yuan per square foot?" Luo Qihong directly lowered the price to 150 yuan per square foot, which was a bit cruel.

Mr. Wu, whose full name is Wu Fuqiang, is the owner of the shop. He looks a bit fat and has a round body like a barrel. He weighs 240 pounds and is only 172cm tall.

As soon as Wu Fuqiang opened his mouth, the fat on his face began to tremble. "Mr. Luo, this price is not expensive. This is the most prosperous place in downtown Kowloon. Many people are vying for it. But since you really want to buy it, I will lower the price a little to 2300 yuan per square foot. Is that good enough?!" What Luo Qihong was most worried about was that Wu Fuqiang would turn around and leave instead of continuing to ask for a high price and being willing to bargain, proving that the price could still be negotiated further.

"It's still a bit expensive, 2230 yuan per square foot, how about it?" Luo Qihong shook his head and said with a stern face.

Wu Fuqiang glanced at Luo Qihong. If he was not in a hurry to get rid of it, he would not have been willing to struggle with Luo Qihong for so long.

In fact, many buyers know that the owner is eager to sell, so they will take the opportunity to lower the price, but the price offered by Luo Qihong is still fair.

"2280 yuan per square foot, this price is already very affordable, Luo Sheng," said Wu Fuqiang.

In the end, Luo Qihong lowered the price to 2250 yuan per square foot, and the entire shop cost 277 million yuan.

Wu Fuqiang deducted the remaining 2 yuan, and Luo Qihong needed to pay 277 million yuan.

Luo Qihong did not pay the full amount immediately, but paid 3%. The remaining 7% will be settled within 2 weeks after the Spring Festival. After all, it is close to the end of the year and Luo Qihong's investment in the stock market has not yet been fully recovered.

In fact, Luo Qihong was reluctant to pay off so much money at one time. He planned to go to the bank to apply for a mortgage loan. Even if it was only a 5% loan, it could slightly alleviate his current financial situation.

Luo Qihong does not want to speculate on properties, nor does he want to hold or invest for a long time, but he wants to do the "partition" business.

277 million yuan is a large sum of money for some merchants with smaller budgets, but these merchants want to buy shops in prosperous locations to do business. As for the model of several merchants jointly buying a large shop and then splitting it up, it's not that no one has thought of it, but they don't have such a wide network of contacts to find like-minded merchants.

Luo Qihong planned to let Yang Mingkun take over the project and split the shop into two stores, each with an area of ​​600 square feet.

The price of shops in downtown Kowloon has risen sharply recently. It is no exaggeration to say that it increases by HK$1 per square foot every day. Moreover, Luo Qihong is in no hurry to sell them, and the 'retail' price will be slightly higher, so Luo Qihong can at least make a 1% profit.

Luo Qihong feels that this kind of "partition" business can be done for a long time, and even if there are competitors, it can still make a lot of profit, because there are so many shops in the city, and there are many buyers who want small shops.

So, Luo Qihong went to Yang Mingkun’s shop in Causeway Bay to discuss the project.

These projects are simple, including breaking down walls, opening doors, and building walls. No decoration is needed.

"Mr. Luo, this project doesn't require much work. I can help you get it done for 3 yuan," said Yang Mingkun.

Luo Qihong took a sip of water and said, "3 yuan is no problem!"

After putting down the cup, he then asked, "Mr. Yang, do you want to expand your business?"

Yang Mingkun was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that this was his chance, "Luo Sheng, what do you mean?"

"Simple! We set up an engineering company. I will be responsible for finding business, and you, Mr. Yang, will be responsible for the engineering." Luo Qihong said with a smile. This plan has been brewing for a long time and is now quite mature.

Yang Mingkun's wife is not bad looking and can be called a beauty. After hearing Luo Qihong's suggestion and seeing that her husband was still hesitating, she immediately said, "Mr. Luo is indeed a noble man in our family. He introduced us to so many businesses before, and now he wants to set up a company with us to expand our business."

Yang Mingkun's wife Tan Hongmei praised Luo Qihong non-stop to buy her husband more time to consider. It must be said that Tan Hongmei is a good and virtuous wife who knows how to interrupt in moderation.

Luo Qihong did not expose it, but started chatting with Tan Hongmei. He also needed this business, and cooperation was naturally a win-win situation.
