Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 93 [Wing On Plaza Jili Building] (asking for monthly ticket)
"Don't worry about this, Mr. Lin. This is a matter between Rocky and me." Luo Qihong was not afraid of backlash from the society because he no longer planned to continue doing this business and deliberately avoided contact with the society.

Social power is a double-edged sword. Luo Qihong doesn't think he can control such a weapon, so he tries not to touch it.

Lin Luoxun couldn't guess what Luo Qihong's purpose was. Was it just to scare him?

"What conditions does Luo Sheng want? You can tell me and we can discuss it." Lin Luoxun continued to test.

Luo Qihong smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Lin, don't you think your peace talks are insincere? You haven't even thought of the conditions, and you just want to convince others with your mouth. Although peace talks are beneficial to both sides, you were the one who started this matter, and now you want to get over it with just a few words. People who don't know would think we rely on you for a living."

These words were spoken calmly, but they were full of gunpowder. If Lin Luoxun was unwilling to pay the price, the hatred between them would inevitably deepen.

Lin Luoxun didn't expect Luo Qihong to speak so bluntly and harshly, but when he thought about it carefully, there was some truth in what Luo Qihong said.

"Okay, since Luo Sheng doesn't want to talk further, I'll take my leave." Lin Luoxun glanced at Lin Luoqi before leaving.

Luo Qihong said coldly, "Goodbye, I won't see you off!"

He knew that the chances of getting actual benefits from Lin Luoxun through this incident were slim, so he used provocative words and a tough attitude.

After Lin Luoxun disappeared, Lin Luoqi stepped forward and said to Luo Qihong, "Ah Hong, are you being a little reckless? Peace talks are good for both of us. It is inevitable to compromise with each other when doing business."

Luo Qihong poured himself a cup of tea and drank it before responding to Lin Luoqi, "I mentioned before doing this business that this is a one-time deal. Your elder brother came to us rashly, obviously he wants to do this business for a long time. Do you want to make wedding clothes for your elder brother?"

"Are you sure that my elder brother thinks this way?" Lin Luoqi asked questioningly.

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "I can't say it's 7%, but I still have 8 or % confidence. You should know that your eldest brother is a proud man. Would he come to you to make peace just because of a few hundred thousand in profit?"

Lin Luoqi thought about it carefully for a while and felt that what Luo Qihong said made sense. In his impression, Lin Luoxun was very proud, so it was a bit strange that he bowed his head this time.

"Then what should we do? If a fight really breaks out, we will lose a lot of profits." Lin Luoqi said with a frown.

"Actually, I don't care. How powerful Lin Luoxun is has nothing to do with me. But what about you? If Lin Luoxun can show up in front of your dad again with this project, do you think it's worth it to make a few hundred thousand more?" Luo Qihong looked at Lin Luoqi and said without any joy on his face.

When he first started working with Lin Luoqi, he had anticipated the situation today. Now that the Lin Luoxun brothers are "beating Mai Li" (shouting at the doorstep), there is no reason for Luo Qihong not to accept the challenge.

Luo Qihong felt that the most interesting drama was the "fight between brothers", which made Lin Luoxun somewhat restrained in dealing with him because he had to consider the impact on the family. In this way, the loss of hundreds of thousands was just a ticket to watch the drama.

Therefore, Lin Luoqi is still of some use, and Luo Qihong does not plan to abandon Lin Luoqi for the time being. Of course, there will not be any more in-depth cooperation, otherwise it will be inconvenient to separate in the future.

After hearing what Luo Qihong said, Lin Luoqi was stunned. Yes, his enemies were the Lin Luoxun brothers. Wouldn’t it be aiding the enemy to make peace now?

A few minutes later, Luo Qihong pretended to be concerned and asked, "Rocky, how is the acquisition of Sheung Wan Jide Building going?"

Lin Luoqi paused and replied, "The progress is relatively smooth. We have acquired properties from six owners and now have nine floors of properties. We expect to complete the acquisition of all properties by the middle of next month."

"Haha! Congratulations! Jide Real Estate has acquired Jide Building, and the stock price will definitely rise. If Jide Real Estate can be sold at a high price, your dad will be more optimistic about you." Luo Qihong cheered Lin Luoqi up. As long as Lin Luoqi has the confidence to do it, Lin Luoxun will not be so difficult. "Thank you for your good words!" Lin Luoqi thought about it and said worriedly, "A Jide Building will only increase the stock price of Jide Real Estate to a limited extent. Ah Hong, do you have any other ideas?"

Luo Qihong's eyes sank. Of course he couldn't teach Lin Luoqi the secret he had kept, but the hype method he learned from Chen Songqing could be tried out on Jide Real Estate Company.

So, he pretended to be in trouble and said, "There is a way, but it is a bit risky, not a big risk, but it requires a lot of pressure."

Luo Qihong's mysterious look successfully aroused Lin Luoqi's curiosity, and Lin Luoqi asked, "What is the method? Tell me about it?"

"It's not complicated. It's just a commercial building with good value, and then it was hyped up, just like the way Jianing Company hyped up the Golden Gate Building. The original market value of Jianing Company was only a few hundred million yuan, but now it has a market value of 20 to 30 billion yuan," said Luo Qihong.

Lin Luoqi was surprisingly calm this time. He did not get carried away. He thought for a long time and said, "Is there a suitable commercial building?"

"I have two plans. One is the Wing On Plaza at 62 Mody Road in Tsim Sha Tsui East, which is about to be completed. The other is the Keeley Building at 9 On Lan Street in Central." Luo Qihong had a smile on his face.

Wing On Plaza was built by a consortium led by Sino Properties. Next to it is the Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel owned by the Kuok family and the Kowloon Centre shopping mall under construction. It is located in the heart of the Tsim Sha Tsui East business district and is a priceless property.

If Jide Real Estate acquires this building, although it cannot match the hype power of the Golden Gate Building, it can also achieve very good results, and increasing the market value by one or two times is not a problem.

The geographical location of the Glee Building is good. It is only two streets away from the atrium of the Landmark Plaza, near Ice House Street. It is a small commercial building built in 78. It has a certain room for speculation and can greatly enhance the public's impression of the Gide Real Estate Company.

Although Lin Luoqi was not clear about the situation of Jili Building, he guessed that its value would not be too high and should be comparable to the price of Yongan Plaza. It would be a small commercial building.

"Sino Properties sells commercial buildings and shopping malls in Tsim Sha Tsui East by the entire floor. I have never heard of selling the entire building. I think it must be a quick way to recover funds. It is difficult for Jide Real Estate to raise hundreds of millions of yuan in a short period of time. Even if it can get a loan, it will be under great financial pressure."

Lin Luoqi continued to analyze, "I think the value of the Keeley Building on On Lan Street in Central is not worse than that of Wing On Plaza, but it can be acquired floor by floor, which can alleviate the financial pressure of Jide Real Estate. Both plans are very risky. If we are not careful, Jide Real Estate will go back to its old ways."

If Luo Qihong were asked to choose between the two, he would most likely choose Wing On Plaza. Wing On Plaza has an excellent location. Its only drawback is that it is too small. It is also one of the core assets of the new force Sun Hung Kai Properties in Tsim Sha Tsui East and can be hyped up with the help of Sun Hung Kai Properties' influence.

The only advantage of the Ji Li Building is its convenient location, but Wing On Plaza has three.

Of course, this is Lin Luoqi's doing. How to choose is Lin Luoqi's concern and has nothing to do with Luo Qihong.

"Maybe there are other ways to hype it up, Rocky, you should think about it carefully." Luo Qihong said. He thought he was doing well to have helped others to this extent.

"Well! I'll go back and think about it carefully." Lin Luoqi left the meeting room directly.

Luo Qihong looked at Lin Luoqi's back as he left, shook his head and said with emotion, "As expected of brothers, their ideas and behaviors of taking advantage are exactly the same. If it weren't for the huge amount of funds needed to raise the stock price, I really wouldn't want to pay attention to these people."

Zhao Shizeng from Huaguang Real Estate Company has sent a message that the sales contract of Warwick Building will be signed within half a month, and asked Luo Qihong to prepare the funds.
