Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 433 435 [Unguarded Tonight]

This was the second time Luo Qihong asked Su Qishan what he thought.

Naturally, he still trusted Su Qishan very much, so he asked Su Qishan's wishes. Otherwise, he would not care about the feelings of his employees.

"Boss, I have worked in Dehe Real Estate Company for many years and have deep feelings for it. I don't want to leave here and am willing to work until retirement." Su Qishan said in a very serious and earnest manner.

Su Qishan is not a madman. Although Dehe Real Estate Company is not a listed company, its asset value is also a giant among all the companies in Hong Kong. Only the Wharf Group and the Hong Kong Land Development Company can compete with it.

If he gave up this company, where else could he find another one? Moreover, Dehe Real Estate Company was so large that when he, as the person in charge, went out for social events, others were all very respectful to him.

Once he loses this position, people outside don't know what to think. They will probably think that Su Qishan was fired, or that Luo Qihong has lost trust in him.

"Okay! Then you should speed up the reconstruction of the property at 9 Queen's Road Central in Central, and strive to complete it in the first half of next year so that you can move in in the second half of the year." Luo Qihong instructed.

No. 9 Queen's Road Central has a floor area of ​​14700 square feet per floor, 37 floors high, and a total floor area of ​​55 square feet. After completion, it will be a Grade A commercial building in Central. It is larger than the former Golden Gate Building and has a better location, across the road from Landmark Atrium Plaza.

Naturally, its value is much higher than that of the Golden Gate Building. The two underground floors of this building are parking lots, the four floors are shopping malls and restaurants, the 2th to 4th floors are office buildings, and there will be 5 available elevators. The future rent will be comparable to that of Prince's Building, Alexandra House, etc.

This building alone can bring Dehe Real Estate Company an annual rental income of HK$3.5 million.

When Luo Qihong thought about the fact that he personally owned so many high-quality commercial buildings in Central, he suddenly felt very proud.

In fact, Luo Qihong really wanted to integrate his companies, but unfortunately he didn't know how to start because those companies had become giants, such as Hexiang Trading Company.

Since the change of ownership of Asia Television in 88, Lam Pak-yan, Cheng Yu-tung and Lo Chi-hung have launched drastic reforms on Asia Television, introducing a new station emblem consisting of blue, green and red ribbons, renaming the Chinese and English channels as 'Hong Kong Channel' and 'International Channel' respectively, and striving for innovation in program arrangement. For example, Lo Chi-hung suggested launching an adult talk show "Tonight Without Defense".

At the same time, he spent a lot of money and inhumanely poached talents from TVB, including mainstays such as Lydia Shum and Eric Tsang, gold medal producers Zhao Zhenqiang and Wai Ka-Fai, and a large number of first-line artists.

This move made the stingy Run Run Shaw quite uncomfortable. He had no choice but to spend a lot of money to retain those talents, but he also set more stringent conditions so that the talents who stayed could not change jobs.

After a series of moves by Asia Television's top management, TVB's advantage became less strong, but the competition between the two sides became increasingly fierce.

In fact, Asia Television is somewhat running at a loss. Compared with TVB's reduced profits, Asia Television is struggling to survive with the help of the three tycoons.

In order to support the program "Tonight Without Defense" that he proposed, Luo Qihong accepted the invitation of hosts Huang Zhan, Ni Kuang and others to attend the interview on the program.

This shocked Huang Zhan and others. They did not expect Luo Qihong to accept the invitation. After all, he was a famous figure in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Luo, welcome, welcome!" Huang Zhan and others stood up to greet Luo Qihong.

Luo Qihong shook hands with all three of them and said, "Three of the four great talents of Hong Kong are here. It looks like today's show will be very exciting." Among the four great talents, Jin Yong would definitely not appear here. In fact, the three people in front of him were just rising stars, not good enough to be on par with Jin Yong.

"The title of the Four Great Talents is just something made up by others. We just have a little talent, but compared with Luo Sheng's achievements, we are far behind." Huang Zhan was a very witty person and he understood the ways of the world too well.

"I actually envy you for being able to make money with your talents. If I had not studied science and engineering, perhaps I could have been the same as you." Luo Qihong smiled slightly.

Huang Zhan said with a smile, "This program was proposed by you, Luo Sheng. You are certainly talented, and your talents are multifaceted, unlike us who only have this one aspect."

"Brother Ni Kuang likes to write novels, I like to write lyrics and compose music, and Cai Lan likes to be a screenwriter."

"Everyone says that Huang Zhan is the most mischievous of the four great talents. Today it seems to be true." Luo Qihong said with a smile.

"Since Mr. Luo has said so, let's ask some explosive questions. How about it?" Huang Zhan said.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Ni Kuang agreed, "Yes, the purpose of the program is to talk about topics that the audience is interested in."

"Okay, go ahead and ask, just don't be too harsh." Luo Qihong said with a smile.

In fact, there were problems with the manuscript, and these three people did not dare to offend the boss.

"I heard that Luo Sheng had a relationship with the popular actress Cherie Chung. Is that true?" James Wong asked with a smile.

Luo Qihong hesitated for a moment, smiled bitterly and nodded, "I did date Zhong Chuhong, but it was before we got married."

"I remember a magazine reported that during that period, Luo Sheng had a serious girlfriend. Did they break up at that time?" Ni Kuang asked.

"not yet!"

Such big news made Huang Zhan and others smile even more brightly.

"Your girlfriend at that time was called Guan Jiahui, right? She had previously starred in the "Five Lucky Stars" series of movies." Cai Lan asked.

Luo Qihong nodded again, "We were already breaking up at that time, so it wasn't strictly speaking two-timing."

"Then what does Luo Sheng feel like when he is with Cherie Chung? Cherie Chung is very popular now and is the dream lover of many people. They must want to know this." said James Wong.

"I didn't feel good because Cherie Chung was already a star at that time. We had to hide from reporters on our dates and wrapped up tightly when we went out. But Cherie Chung was very considerate and always took care of my feelings." Of course Luo Qihong had to say good things about Cherie Chung, after all, they were dating.
