Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 99 [Acquisition of Central Liancheng Building? ]

Luo Qihong was too lazy to sign any contract with Yang Mingkun. He directly gave the check to Yang Mingkun and asked Yang Mingkun to complete the renovation project as soon as possible.

Luo Qihong was not idle afterwards. He continued to wander around Tsim Sha Tsui, looking for the next shopping mall target.

If Luo Qihong finds an old shopping mall with particularly good conditions, he doesn't mind using the funds from the stock market to do this business.

Unfortunately, after searching for several hours, Luo Qihong failed to find any particularly good shopping mall, so he could only return to Zhao'an Real Estate Company in disappointment.

The desk was covered with papers showing the company's current assets and some suitable properties. Luo Qihong slumped in his chair, thinking about the company's next plan.

Today, Zhaoan Real Estate Company only has some operating funds in its account. The purchase of 50% of the equity of Wan Chai Kaohsiung Building has already consumed all the funds, and it still owes the bank a loan of more than 2 million yuan.

However, the vacancy rate of Kashima Building is only 6%, and the monthly rental income is close to 1 million yuan. After deducting labor, operation, maintenance and other expenses, Zhaoan Real Estate can earn a profit of about 70 yuan. After repaying the loan interest, only more than 40 yuan is left.

In order to expand the company rapidly, Luo Qihong has planned to pledge the other half of the equity in the Kashima Building for a loan to obtain more than 2 million yuan in funds for stock market investment, while the rent of the entire building can pay the 4 million yuan in loan interest.

Not long after, Li Zhi walked in swayingly, put down the tea, and started to clean up the desk.

Luo Qihong looked at Li Zhi and couldn't help but sigh, "This woman is really something." After dressing up, her rustic look has dissipated a lot, and her sexiness is rising and should soon take the dominant position.

He smiled and asked, "How is your work lately? Is it going well?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi was slightly stunned and said, "Fortunately, my colleagues are very nice to me."

Luo Qihong understood what Li Zhi meant. He glanced at the graceful figure and said seriously, "In fact, in Hong Kong, even if you work hard, it is not easy to get ahead, especially for people from the mainland. If you want to get ahead, you need the appreciation of your boss or the company's senior management. Even a good horse needs the care of a good horse trainer."

Li Zhi didn't quite understand what Luo Qihong meant. He blinked quickly, thinking about what Luo Qihong meant.

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't react, Luo Qihong asked directly, "Azhi, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

Li Zhi's hands froze. She was surprised that the boss actually liked her.

"As long as you become my girlfriend, you will definitely gain a foothold in the company immediately, and those employees will flatter and curry favor with you." Luo Qihong continued, "I can give you a sum of pocket money every month to help you live in Hong Kong."

Being a mistress in Hong Kong is a relatively common phenomenon, unlike in the mainland where you will be criticized by everyone. Of course, it will also be subject to some discussion.

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and replied in broken Cantonese, "Boss, don't you have a girlfriend? Miss Guan Jiahui is very beautiful, much prettier than me."

Luo Qihong said with a smile, "I don't mind having too many girlfriends. Don't worry, if you find a suitable boyfriend, I will let you go."

Li Zhi herself is a shrewd woman, otherwise she would not have charmed the gambling king and Li Lianjie in her previous life and eventually rose to power.

Hong Kong is also a region full of discrimination against outsiders. If you want to gain a foothold and succeed, you can only rely on extremely strong abilities or capital.

When Li Zhi was working as a salesperson in a department store, she had already fully felt the "enthusiasm of Hong Kong". She knew that if she lost Luo Qihong's support, she would probably have to return to Shanghai to live in disgrace. Luo Qihong felt that Li Zhi did not refuse at the first time, which meant that he had this intention, but he did not want to force Li Zhi, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry about answering me, you can tell me after you think about it."

"Okay!" Li Zhi glanced at Luo Qihong, answered in a low voice, and then buried his head in packing up the documents.

Luo Qihong had a faint smile on his face. He had a feeling that Li Zhi could not escape and this woman would obediently become his lover.

It’s really nice to have a woman like this as a lover.

Back home in North Point in the evening
Before dinner started, Luo Qixing anxiously told Luo Qihong the result of the discussion with Yulang International Company, "Ah Hong, they are willing to withdraw the lawsuit, but they have changed the compensation plan. They want to get 30% of Shengyun Printing's equity. Should we agree?"

Luo Qihong raised his lips in vain. He really wanted to swallow up the printing company. "Didn't you tell them about the Paramount Company?"

"I mentioned it, but they didn't pay much attention." Luo Qixing was anxious and worried, and he wanted to give in. In his eyes, 30% of the shares were not unacceptable.

Luo Qihong thought for a moment and sneered, "Let them sue. Their purpose is obvious. They want to swallow up our company. If we give them the equity, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house."

Luo Qixing’s eyes widened. Shengyun Printing Company was everything to him. What would he do if he lost the company?
"Then let's sue them." Luo Qixing quickly stated that he would not doubt Luo Qihong's statement.

Luo Qihong pursed his lips and said, "Filing a lawsuit is the worst option. Let me talk to them, and you go and make an appointment with Huang Yulang, the boss of Yulang International."

The newspaper industry in Hong Kong is very developed, and the printing industry and the newspaper industry are complementary industries, so naturally they will not be bad. Therefore, there are a large number of printing companies in Hong Kong. Luo Qihong believed that as long as he took a tougher attitude, Wong Yuk-long might not become his enemy.

If all else fails, Luo Qihong will certainly take revenge on this comics tycoon of the next few years and let him have a taste of his power.

Wong Yuk-long only graduated from elementary school and had an amazing talent for comics. As for business skills, Luo Qihong didn't think Wong Yuk-long could beat him.

However, Luo Qihong also had some concerns. His career was at a period of rapid development. It would be a waste if he used part of his manpower and resources to deal with Wong Yuk-long.

The fundraising and share offering of Paramount Company went smoothly with the assistance of Wan Chai Bao Tong Finance Company. The share offering was completed in just a few days, raising more than 3 million yuan from the market, and paying off the more than 5 million yuan owed by Luo Qihong, the major shareholder.

罗齐鸿并没有使用账上的6千6百万元全部偿还时峰大厦和华威大厦的尾款，而是将两座大厦进行质押贷款，获得7千9百万元的资金，再将华光地产公司的尾款9千零40万元全部结清。

With this operation, Paramount Company still has a balance of 5 million yuan in its account, while the company has a debt of 5 million yuan, and the debt ratio is only 1%. It seems that Paramount Company is a relatively good real estate company.

However, Luo Qihong is still prepared to continue making money for Paramount because his private placement funds will take some time to arrive, and the rising share price of Paramount is naturally a good thing for him.

A fat man with a fat head, big ears and a square face was eating a lot. His eating style was quite ugly, but it was very appetizing.

Under this influence, Luo Qihong also ate a few more bites of the dishes.

After wiping his mouth, Luo Qihong smiled at the fat man who was still eating but at a much slower pace and said, "Mr. Yan, isn't the price of the two-story Liancheng Building property you own a little too expensive? I just acquired a property similar to the Liancheng Building last month, and the price of one floor was only 1 million. Now it has skyrocketed to 1 million. It seems a little unreasonable."
