Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 83 [Abnormally Smooth] (Please collect)
11% of the shares means 528 million shares, each priced at 1.6 yuan. Luo Qihong needs to pay 844.8 million yuan. Taking into account the loans, only more than 3 million yuan is left out of the total 4 million yuan.

Luo Qihong and Paramount Company jointly hold 43.4% of the shares of Zhaoan Real Estate Company. Such shareholding is relatively safe, but Luo Qihong is still a little worried that if Huang Bingzhong refuses to give up, he may be pulled down.

"Mr. Luo, if you are worried about the instability of your controlling stake, you can now find Zhao Qichen to form an alliance. The two of you already hold more than 50% of the shares, so Huang Bingzhong has no chance." Liang Botao guessed some of Luo Qihong's thoughts.

Luo Qihong nodded and sighed, "This is the only way for now."

Suddenly Luo Qihong said, "Mr. Liang, I still have more than 4 million in funds. I can buy more than 50% of the shares and have perfect control. In this way, I don't need to cooperate with Zhao Qicheng."

Liang Botao shook his head. It seemed possible, but Luo Qihong, Huang Bingzhong, and Zhao Qicheng already held more than 90% of the shares. It was impossible for them to use more than 4 million to buy more than 7% of the shares. "Did Mr. Luo forget to calculate your total shareholding?"

"." Luo Qihong fell into a misconception and became a little obsessed. He coughed awkwardly a few times, "I forgot."

"Will Zhao Qichen take this opportunity to blackmail me?" Luo Qihong immediately changed the subject.

Liang Botao thought about it and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Forget it, Zhao Qicheng just needs to not support Huang Bingzhong." Luo Qihong smiled, "Mr. Liang, do you think Huang Bingzhong will take advantage of the high price to sell the goods?"

"I think it is very likely that Huang Bingzhong took the opportunity to sell his stocks because it is impossible for him to regain control of Zhaoan Real Estate Company. Most people would make a small profit and then leave," Liang Botao replied.

Luo Qihong raised his lips and said, "Please use the name of Huoduoli Company to announce that Paramount Restaurant Company holds 43.4% of the shares of Zhaoan Real Estate Company and is mobilizing funds to increase its shareholding to 49%."

Liang Botao frowned and thought about it, and immediately understood Luo Qihong's purpose, "Luo Sheng wants to raise the stock price and let Huang Bingzhong sell the goods?"

Luo Qihong nodded and sighed, "How can I feel at ease if Huang Bingzhong doesn't leave?"

Liang Botao agreed with the decision, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

In fact, Luo Qihong was worried that the circulation of Zhaoan Real Estate Company's shares on the stock market was too small. If the China Securities Regulatory Commission came to cause trouble, it would be more trouble than gain. Therefore, raising the stock price to force Huang Bingzhong to sell his shares was a helpless move.

Who would have thought that Mr. Huang Bingzhong would actually come to the door and say that he wanted to discuss the matters of Zhaoan Real Estate Company with Luo Qihong.

Of course, there was no reason for Luo Qihong to refuse to meet Huang Bingzhong. It would be beneficial for both parties to meet with him.

In the office of the Paramount Restaurant Company, Luo Qihong and Huang Bingzhong shook hands, and the two sat down casually.

Although Huang Bingzhong was angry, he knew that this was not the time to lose his temper. He said expressionlessly, "Mr. Luo, I will not ramble on. I will get straight to the point. Are you willing to raise the share price of Zhaoan Real Estate Company so that I can cash out and leave?"

Huang Bingzhong was more decisive than Luo Qihong had expected. Luo Qihong thought that Huang Bingzhong would take the opportunity to propose some other conditions, but he turned out to be so straightforward.

"Sure! I can also purchase 6% of the shares from Mr. Huang at a high price. At what price does Mr. Huang want to sell it?" Luo Qihong asked seriously. This is a good opportunity, a good time to control Zhaoan Real Estate.

"No problem, 6% of the shares can be sold to Luo Sheng. I want to sell it at 2 yuan." Huang Bingzhong said.

"Okay! Then I'll help you raise it to 2 yuan, but Mr. Huang also has to put in some effort." Luo Qihong said.

"Of course!"

The two only chatted for half an hour. After all, they were not very familiar with each other, and they were rivals, so small talk would be awkward.

It was impossible for Luo Qihong to buy the 6% at 2 yuan. After negotiation, Huang Bingzhong sincerely agreed to sell 1.5 million shares to Luo Qihong at 288 yuan per share, which required a payment of 432 million yuan. At this point, the 3 million yuan raised by Luo Qihong and Paramount Company was basically used up, and Paramount Company had no funds to acquire the properties of the Peak Building in Sheung Wan and the first floor of the Southeast Asia Center in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The next morning, Huoduoli Company announced a new acquisition plan on behalf of Paramount Restaurant Company, with the price of 2.1 yuan per share of Zhaoan Real Estate Company. The securities company hired by Huang Bingzhong also offered this price of 2.1 yuan.

Within half an hour, the share price of Zhaoan Real Estate Company rose to 2.1 yuan without any surprise. Since there were not many scattered shares on the stock market, Huang Bingzhong successfully sold 29% of the shares (including 6% sold to Luo Qihong).

What Luo Qihong could not have imagined was that Zhao Qichen had actually absorbed nearly 10% of the shares of Zhaoan Real Estate Company, and his shareholding exceeded 28%.

Luo Qihong certainly doubted this guy's intentions, but he already held 49.4% of the shares, and no one could shake his position and control over Zhaoan Real Estate Company.

Thursday, May 6

After three days of increases, the share price of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. has risen to 3 yuan, with a market value of 7.6 billion yuan, and the speed of increase is still relatively rapid.

According to financial experts, the share price of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. will rise to 13 to 15 yuan, and its market value will exceed 32 billion yuan, making it one of the top ten real estate listed companies in Hong Kong.

As a result, investors began to speculate on the shares of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. even more frantically. Although there were not many scattered shares of Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. on the stock market, there were still many people placing buy orders, and the stock price continued to rise.

Luo Qihong has personally earned 540 million yuan from his stock investment in Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. and is expected to earn more than 1 million yuan.

The boiling water was bubbling, and a big hand grabbed the handle of the pot and poured it skillfully into the small purple clay pot. Suddenly, a burst of tea fragrance wafted out.

Luo Qihong washed the tea skillfully and glanced at Guan Shan who was sitting opposite him. He had to say that Guan Shan was very handsome, worthy of being a movie star and a figure who was very popular in the 60s. "Uncle Guan, please have some tea!"

"Okay!" Guan Shan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "The recent real estate market is very prosperous. Your shop should be able to make a lot of money, right?"

Luo Qihong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Guan, you don't know that I lost a lot of money in a competition with my peers a while ago, even though I got a lot of business. Jiahui knows this very well."

Guan Shan didn't know much about these things, so he suspected that Luo Qihong was lying, so he looked at Guan Jiahui with a questioning look.

However, Kwan Ka Wai turned her head away, pretending not to see it. It was obviously the 'aftershock' of last year's debt incident.

"Haha!! Ah Hong, since you can't make money as a real estate agent, are you interested in doing other businesses? Like making movies." Guan Shan laughed dryly to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Luo Qihong recalled that Guan Shan seemed to have made a movie during the low period of his career in his previous life. Guan Shan was an unlucky guy, so of course he did not make any money from the movie, but instead suffered heavy losses.

Luo Qihong is now at the peak of his career, and Guan Jiahui did not disclose the fact that he was speculating in properties, so naturally she did not want to give money to Guan Shan to suffer losses.

"Uncle Guan, I heard that making movies is very profitable, but I don't have much money right now." Luo Qihong sighed.

When Guan Shan heard that Luo Qihong had no money, he encouraged him with a few words and then pretended to be busy and left.

Luo Qihong looked at Guan Jiahui and smiled, "It seems that your dad's ambition has come again. Is your money ready?"

This was of course a joke to Kwan Ka Wai. The last time she owed a loan shark, she suffered a loss from her business.

"I don't have the money to pay off his debt, so I'll just let the gangsters hack him to death." Guan Jiahui paused for a moment, then flipped through the magazine impatiently, obviously saying one thing and thinking another.
