Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 419 421 [Wan Chai Central Plaza]

The auctioneer became even more excited, calling out for bids. For the first time…

"Third time! Deal! Congratulations to Zhaoan Real Estate Company!"

Suddenly, thunderous applause broke out in the auction venue.

This is sincere, including Huang Tingfang and Guo Bingxiang.

Luo Qihong's move undoubtedly boosted Hong Kong's real estate market, benefited all real estate developers, and had an invisible and huge impact on citizens' purchase of houses.

Some real estate developers have already anticipated the arrival of the real estate boom and are preparing to go back to buying land in a big way to make money quickly.

"Mr. Luo, congratulations!" Huang Tingfang walked over with Huang Zhixiang, smiling.

This is normal competition and there is no need to feel resentful.

It is only natural that the one who pays the highest price wins.

"Thank you!" Luo Qihong shook hands with Huang Tingfang.

"Mr. Luo, I have a question and hope for a true answer." Huang Ting asked.

"Mr. Huang wants to ask me what is the reserve price of Zhaoan Real Estate?"

Seeing Huang Tingfang nodded, Luo Qihong continued, "40 billion! This is my real bottom price."

"Haha! My loss was not unfair. I really didn't expect 40 billion. Luo Sheng is very optimistic about the local market." Huang Tingfang laughed heartily.

Click!

A reporter filmed the scene.

"I'm not the only one who is optimistic. Mr. Huang has offered 35 billion. I don't believe that he is not optimistic about the real estate market in Hong Kong." Luo Qihong said with a smile.

Meeting room of Zhaoan Real Estate Company

The meeting was about the design of the Central Plaza in Wan Chai, which was to be designed by the Hong Kong architectural firm P&T.

It’s not that Baohua Construction Company is bad, but this company’s qualifications and design drawings are more in line with the interests of Zhaoan Real Estate Company.

Moreover, Baohua Construction Company has many projects on hand, and it is temporarily difficult to allocate resources to implement some of Luo Qihong's ideas.

"Let me first tell you my idea. The building should be 78 stories high, 375 meters high, and have a floor area of ​​more than 140 million square feet..."

"The building looks like a triangle, but it's not a real triangle. It's a cut-off triangle. This way it won't offend the neighbors and it can also maximize the actual area, which is in line with the geomancer's opinion."

Everyone present nodded and agreed with Luo Qihong's statement.

Of course, as long as the flaws are not serious, these people will not refute, after all, Luo Qihong is the biggest boss.

Luo Qihong continued, "I want to build a landmark building in Hong Kong, preferably one of the top ten buildings in Hong Kong, which can be clearly seen from Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Do you have any good ideas?"

Soon, the architects present said, “We can use gorgeous scenery and incorporate dynamic, dazzling patterns…”

Luo Qihong nodded slightly, approving the architect's suggestion. "This is a good suggestion. The 90s will be an era of rapid technological development. We must adopt the most advanced technology while ensuring that the building can be improved accordingly."

Luo Qihong attaches great importance to this project and is expected to invest 55 billion Hong Kong dollars to give Zhaoan Real Estate Company and the Luo family a good opportunity to show off.

……

Mid April

The Hong Kong government announced that it would auction the highest-priced land parcel on Garden Road in Central in early June.

Luo Qihong is determined to acquire this piece of land, which is more important than Central Plaza. It is one of the Luo family's largest investments in Hong Kong.

If they succeed, the Luo family will become the largest private landlord in Central and one of the four major families in Hong Kong.

He took a quick look at some of the comments on the matter and found that many appraisers believed that the auction price of the land would exceed 58 billion yuan.

Compared to Central Plaza in Wan Chai, the competition will be more intense, which will be a blessing for Hong Kong.

But it is unfortunate for ordinary citizens, because housing prices will be further hyped up, so some people are calling on those who want to buy a house to act quickly, otherwise the price will rise by at least 20%.

Reading further, Luo Qihong actually discovered suspicions that Huang Yulang had falsified accounts, and at the same time called on the Commercial Investigation Department to intervene in the investigation of Yulang International Group.

Luo Qihong laughed immediately. This must be true, because the newspapers dared to report it, and they were not worried that Huang Yulang would sue them. Such news would not be reported to the Commercial Investigation Department. If they did not do anything, the Investigation Department would also be investigated.

Once the charges are proven, Wong Yuk-long will basically be finished, and Yuk-long International Group will change hands and become someone else's property.

The most likely candidates are Qian Guozhong and Lin Jianming, not Hu Xian of Sing Tao Newspaper Group.

So, Hu Xian’s opportunity has come, and Luo Qihong’s opportunity has also come.

If Fujia Newspapers can acquire two of Hong Kong's three major newspaper groups, Sing Tao Newspapers Group and Ming Pao Group, Fujia Newspapers will become a giant in Hong Kong's media industry.

The huge Oriental Press Group is just a small brother in front of it, and the Luo family has more face in front of the Hong Kong government.

Even if they don't deal with politicians, those people will still give the Luo family some face.

Late September

The chairman of Yulang International Group, Huang Yulang, was invited to have tea by the Commercial Investigation Department and his lawyer’s application for bail was rejected. At the same time, Yulang International’s shares were suspended.

Such news naturally overshadowed other news and became a hot topic among the business community and citizens.

"Isn't this Wong Yuk-lang really cooking the books?"

"It's very likely true, otherwise why wouldn't the investigation department allow bail? The lawyer has already raised the bail to 1 million."

"It's terrible. I still have a lot of Yulang International Group shares, and I'm going to lose a lot of money now."

"Don't worry. Didn't many people want to acquire Yulang International before? Those people will take over, but it will take a long time for you to get your money back."

"Pull the street! Don't let me see that Wong Yuk-lang who cooked the accounts."

Guan Jiahui looked at the newsprint and threw it aside angrily.

Luo Qihong asked with a smile, "What news has offended my beautiful lady?"

Guan Jiahui did not answer either, but turned her head away, as if she was trying to adjust her mood.

Luo Qihong took the newsprint, took a look at it, and guessed that it was about the suspension of trading of Yulang International Group.

"How many shares of Yulang International Group did you buy?"

"I bought a little, but who knew that this guy Wong Yuk-long would cook the books. Now I'm stuck with it. I'm so unlucky." Guan Jiahui hammered the sofa a few times.

"Did you buy it with borrowed money or with idle funds?" Luo Qihong continued to ask.

In fact, Luo Qihong knew that there was not much money. Yulang International Group itself was not valuable. Even if the entire company was acquired, it would not cost 5 million yuan.

People like Hu Xian, Wong Yuk-long and Chin Kwok-chung hold 8% of the shares, and there are also quite a few scattered shares.

Guan Jiahui only has 10% at most, which is less than million. Why should she feel sorry for it?

"Some working capital of the company and my own money." Guan Jiahui glanced at Luo Qihong and said weakly.

"You are quite brave." Luo Qihong sneered. He had to take this opportunity to teach Guan Jiahui a lesson.

"No, it's only 30 million. I can cash out from my private stocks and let the company turn around first."

"Why don't you ask me?" Luo Qihong stared at Guan Jiahui and asked.

"I also want to prove myself. What if my son grows up and says that his mother is a person with incompetence? What should I do?" Guan Jiahui felt a little aggrieved.

"If you dare to say that, you can either beat him up or let me kick him out and let him experience the cruelty of society."

"No, that's my son, I can't bear to part with him. Can you fill it in for me? I promise I'll ask you for advice in the future."

"Okay, this is the last time. If there is a next time..."

"Just hit me!"

"How do you want me to fight? What do you want me to use?" Luo Qihong said with a wicked smile.

"You are so mean..."
