Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 49 [Sharing the Profits]

"This is a good idea. But it will affect our profits, right?" Lin Luoqi didn't want to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"No, if we raise the house price by 1 or 2 yuan, we can easily make back the 80 yuan." Luo Qihong said with a smile. He was reluctant to give away hundreds of thousands of yuan to the buyers for nothing, because the wool still comes from the sheep.

"That's great! When do you plan to start? I can also transfer people from Yiren Real Estate Company to help you." Lin Luoqi said.

"Tomorrow, I've asked Oriental Daily and Tiantian Daily to help place advertisements. There should be some citizens coming to join in the fun tomorrow." Luo Qihong replied.

"Do you want to hire some people to liven up the scene (use water army to attract customers)?" Lin Luoqi asked with a smile.

The bustle at this time is very important. People tend to follow the crowd, and a deserted facade does affect the perception and psychology.

Luo Qihong shook his head. "No need. The prizes should be enough to attract customers. People who buy houses are very careful. It would be bad if they found any flaws."

"That's right!" Lin Luoqi nodded, and followed Luo Qihong to buy a car, gold jewelry, bracelets and other gifts.

The next morning, it was very quiet before 10 o'clock. After 10 o'clock, a few couples started to come in to see the house. The first thing they asked when they entered was whether the lottery car was real.

When they saw the car with a red cloth hanging outside, they believed it was real and followed the temporary salesperson to see the house.

"300 yuan per square foot, isn't that a bit expensive?" asked the young man with a crew cut.

The female salesperson smiled and said, "This is a house with a sea view. If you want a cheaper price, you can choose another house on the same floor. It's 20 yuan cheaper per square foot."

A house of more than 800 square feet is 20 yuan cheaper per square foot, which only saves about 17000 yuan, but the scenery is obviously different.

The young man with a crew cut still chose a sea view room, which he bought for 247200 yuan. When he went to draw the lottery, his luck was not very good, as he only won a gold chain.

When the newly arrived guests saw that someone had actually won a prize, they all rushed to view the rooms and go through the formalities, fearing that the good prizes would be taken away by others. Their favorite and most valued prizes were the two cars, and everyone wanted to win a car.

"Wow! I won a sedan." Roars of cheers echoed throughout the lobby. The young man's face was full of excitement and he almost wanted to make a speech of thanks.

"Sir, please calm down! Can you let me see your lottery ticket?" Luo Qihong walked over and asked with a smile.

The young man thought about it, hesitated, and finally gave the money to Luo Qihong, but he stared at him intently, as if he didn't need to blink.

Luo Qihong looked at the anti-counterfeiting mark, then held up the ticket and announced, "Let us congratulate this gentleman for winning one of our cars."

Then Luo Qihong instructed the salesperson next to him, "Take this gentleman to the next table to handle the formalities."

"Yes!" The female salesperson smiled at the young man, "Sir, this way please. I will help you with the formalities."

Seeing this, those guests who had not yet completed the formalities became even more anxious. There was only one car left, and if it was drawn by someone, then they would have no hope.

A house costs more than 20 yuan, and a car is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. It means they only need to spend 10 yuan to get a house. What a good thing!

Under this lottery promotion strategy, by the third day, only 128 houses were left out of the 23, and two cars were drawn. However, Luo Qihong added new lottery benefits, discount coupons, with 9%, 8%, and 7% off, with the lowest being 6%.

If you win a 6% discount ticket, you can save nearly 10 yuan on the purchase price, which is also very tempting. After selling out a residential building, Luo Qihong and Lin Luoqi discussed that in order to expand their profits, they planned to act as agents for Yixin Real Estate Company's two residential buildings.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Luo, according to our contract, you have the priority to act as the agent, but it does not specify how many properties you are authorized to act for, and we don't have that many houses on hand, so we can only let you act as the agent for one more residential building." He Mingquan said a little embarrassedly.

It is obvious that Yixin Real Estate Company intends to copy Luo Qihong's sales method and there is no need to distribute millions of profits to outsiders.

Luo Qihong thought it was normal. Fortunately, they could still get a residential building. He smiled and said, "Okay! Then let's sign the contract so that we can get the money sooner."

Lin Luoqi was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the residential building was in the hands of Yixin Real Estate Company, and they could take it all.

After signing the contract, Lin Luoqi said angrily, "How shameless! It's obvious that they don't want to give up the profits. This method is ours, but they stole it."

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Don't be angry! We should be content. At least they gave up a residential building. We can earn around 1 million, which is already good."

If the profit is 1 million, Luo Qihong will take 3%, which is 3 million, which is also a very huge profit.

Lin Luoqi was still a little unconvinced, but he didn't say anything else.

The two continued to repeat the sales tactics from last time. Although it helped divert the customers of the New Real Estate Company, the entire residential building was sold out within a week.

Inside the office of Yiren Real Estate Company
Luo Qihong poured Lin Luoqi a cup of tea. Lin Luoqi took the report and read, "We made 1013.27 million yuan from the two residential buildings this time. Dehe Real Estate took 6%, which is 607 million yuan."

"Are you planning to share the profits? Or expand the scale?" Lin Luoqi put down the report and asked.

Luo Qihong thought about it. Yiren Real Estate Company invested 8 million and Dehe Real Estate invested 4 million, with 2 million per person. The plate was big enough, and he only had hundreds of thousands of cash on him now, so he really didn't feel safe.

"Let's share the profits! 1 million is enough for us to make ends meet. A bigger plate would be more dangerous." Luo Qihong said.

"Okay! Then I'll get someone to do it!" Lin Luoqi suddenly remembered something else, "Can we start doing the thing you mentioned last time?"

Luo Qihong couldn't remember what Lin Luoqi was talking about for a moment. Seeing Lin Luoqi's smiling expression, he finally woke up and said, "It's possible, but we have to choose a target first, acquire hidden stocks, have a certain amount of capital, and then spread the news."

"I understand this. Is the 4 million from Dehe Real Estate Company enough? Do we need to add a little more?" Lin Luoqi asked.

"I think it is enough. If it is not enough in the later stage, we can divert some funds from Yiren Real Estate Company. As long as we can make up for it in time, there should be no problem." Luo Qihong has thought about it several times.

"Then which securities company do you want to seek assistance from?" Lin Luoqi seemed to want to introduce a company.

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "I have already contacted the people from the Huoduoli Company. What? Do you have an introduction?"

Lin Luoqi knew that Luo Qihong was just being polite, and he didn't want to have any conflicts with Luo Qihong because of this matter. "Since you have made your choice, then go with Dolly Company."

Luo Qihong pursed his lips and said, "Before we really start this, we can still make some money and use the 8 million from Yiren Real Estate Company to do good business."
