Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 45 [Spring Festival]

He could get back 112 million yuan from Hang Lung Company's stocks, with a profit of 56 yuan, which was exactly double the profit. Now Luo Qihong's account only has about 127 million yuan in total, which is not enough to support the upcoming cooperation projects, so Luo Qihong needs to double the funds in his account as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the Spring Festival is approaching and the shops in Kowloon city cannot be sold yet, otherwise Luo Qihong could recover more than 100 million yuan in funds, and if things go smoothly, he could increase the funds in his account to 300 million yuan.

If he sells another 10 shares of Hang Lung, he would have 400 million yuan in start-up capital, and his financial situation would be better.

In fact, Luo Qihong had placed his hopes on the acquisition of China Bus Company. However, this acquisition would start in April (as was the case in his previous life) and would take 4 or 2 months to complete, so he would not be able to help those cooperative projects.

"Hang Lung has been releasing good news recently. If we sell it now, we will suffer a loss. Let's wait and see after the Spring Festival." Luo Qihong replied indifferently.

There's nothing I can do, I'm really short of money.

February 2, New Year’s Eve
Most people are at work. The Spring Festival holiday is from the first to the fifth day of the New Year, a total of 5 days. However, Luo Qihong saw that his shop had little business, so he simply started the holiday.

Guan Jiahui wanted to go shopping in Central and have a good shopping spree before the New Year. Of course, the only person who could be taken advantage of was Luo Qihong.

Luo Qihong did not agree, but took out some money and gave it to Guan Jiahui, asking her to go shopping with her friends. He himself went to Cheung Lok Street in the urban area of ​​Kowloon to take a look at the situation of the shop compartments.

Guan Jiahui took the money, but did not go shopping with her best friend. Instead, she went to Luo Qihong to see what he was doing.

Luo Qihong was too lazy to argue and took Guan Jiahui with him.

More than half an hour later, the two appeared on Changle Street in Jordan. The nearby shops were crowded with people, only Luo Qihong's shop was still under renovation.

"Is this your shop?" Guan Jiahui asked happily, hugging Luo Qihong's arm. Last time it was land, and now it is a shop. How much assets does this guy have?
"It's mine for now, but it probably won't be mine after a while. I plan to sell it to make money." Luo Qihong saw stars in Guan Jiahui's eyes.

Guan Jiahui didn't care whether it was for sale or not. What she cared about was that the shops in Tsim Sha Tsui were very valuable. "How much can they be sold for? Is it as valuable as the last piece of land?"

"It's a little more expensive than the land. It should be worth more than 3 million." Luo Qihong smiled slightly. Women like money and men like women, especially beautiful women.

"Are these two shops yours?" Guan Jiahui has been working as a real estate agent for a long time and has some knowledge of property prices in the city. She feels that a shop of several hundred square feet is unlikely to be worth 3 million, but she is not very sure.

Luo Qihong nodded. "Yes! Both of them, the total of the two is only 3 million."

"Hmph! You are so rich, yet you are so stingy with me? No, you must accompany me to go shopping in Central later." Guan Jiahui knew that it would be difficult to get cash from Luo Qihong, but she could try another way.

"Okay!" Luo Qihong agreed and went inside. "Mr. Yang, Happy New Year! How long will it take to finish this?"

When Yang Mingkun saw that the person coming was Luo Qihong, he immediately stood up and replied, "Not counting today, it will be finished in one day. I plan to come back on the fifth day of the New Year to catch up on the work."

"Okay! There is only one day of work left. You can come back on the sixth day of the New Year. You should have a few more days off during the Spring Festival." Luo Qihong said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Guan Jiahui." Luo Qihong thought about it and decided to introduce Guan Jiahui. Perhaps she could help him supervise the progress of the project or other things in the future.

"Hello, Miss Guan!" Yang Mingkun was fully equipped with gloves and so on, so he just nodded.

"Hello, Mr. Yang!" Guan Jiahui was a little happy. She thought Luo Qihong didn't want to introduce himself.

After leaving the shop, Luo Qihong told Guan Jiahui about his cooperation with Yang Mingkun. His purpose was to make this woman behave herself and prove to her that he, Luo Qihong, was very rich and would be even richer in the future.

Luo Qihong spent several thousand dollars on shopping in Central. Afterwards, Luo Qihong checked into a room and went in with Guan Jiahui to rest. They couldn't avoid having sex once, so that the several thousand dollars would be worth spending.

It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening when we returned to Kowloon Bay. The rumbling sound of the machines in the house disappeared. Luo Zegui and his son sat at the door to rest. There were some fruits and snacks on the table. This was a rare rest time for the Luo family.

In order to save time for visiting relatives and gatherings during the Spring Festival, Luo's father and son have worked overtime to complete the work of these five days. In the past few days, the machines were rumbling until 5 or 11 o'clock in the evening, and started working on time at 12 o'clock in the morning, so that Luo Qihong did not sleep in once.

"Have a good rest tomorrow. The day after tomorrow we will go to your grandparents' house to get together with everyone. The day after tomorrow." Lin Ya came out with a plate of apples and put it on the table.

This was Luo Qihong's first Spring Festival after traveling through time, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. After all, some of the original owner's memories seemed to be lost, and he might not even remember some of his relatives.

"This Spring Festival I can really hold my head high for once. I can show off to Lin Ying." Lin Ya hummed, with a rare look of pride in her eyes. They were about to move to Hong Kong Island, the family business had doubled, and the youngest son had made a lot of money in real estate.

None of the three members of the Luo family spoke. The younger one had no right to talk about the affairs of his elders, and Luo Zegui did not like to do these things. Only Lin Ya was making a fuss, and they were her relatives from her mother's side.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, at Luo Qihong's suggestion, the whole family went shopping in busy places such as Central and Tsim Sha Tsui. Originally, Luo Zegui and Lin Ya just wanted to stroll around and there was no need to buy anything, after all, things were particularly expensive during the Spring Festival holiday. However, Luo Qihong came out with a lot of cash and bought all the nice clothes and accessories he saw.

On the third day, the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Luo family followed Lin Ya back to her parents' home to visit her grandparents who were over 70 years old, and of course other relatives.

"The Hong Kong stock market now is a place to pick up money. You can make money by buying any stock. The same goes for real estate. The price of properties changes every day," said Luo Qihong's cousin Wu Xingchao. He is in the financial securities business and is a junior manager at a securities company. He inherited his cousin Lin Ying's ability to show off his fortune.

Luo Qihong was a little unhappy that someone was willing to flatter him when he was showing off his life like this, but he didn't say anything as he didn't want to attract other people's attention.

Unfortunately, trouble will come to those who don't want to cause trouble.

"Ah Hong, I heard that you are also in real estate. I wonder what insights you have?" Wu Xingchao drew everyone's attention to Luo Qihong. It might be due to the fight between the mothers of both parties.

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "I can't say I have any insights, but I have some thoughts. In the fourth quarter of last year, the price of industrial land has stagnated, and other types of land have appreciated to varying degrees. I think the price of industrial land will fall this year, so it's safer for everyone to buy other properties."
