Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 427 429 [The Crash is Coming]

Starting from May 11, the Hang Seng Index fluctuated, falling 9% in a single day, but then soared % the next day, but overall showed a downward trend.

For a time, the immigration trend was on the rise and many people were consulting about immigration matters.

Those who can immigrate are all wealthy people, most of whom have assets such as properties, so the entire real estate market is filled with scattered property units.

Baccarat Villas Mid-Levels
Luo Zhichong is already three or four years old. He is wearing a small suit. He has inherited the good looks of his parents and looks very handsome.

He seems to be very dependent on his father Luo Qihong, and seems to have been taught by Guan Jiahui.

However, Luo Qihong didn't care about it. Whether it was true or false, he could handle it.

Because his business empire has already taken shape and will become a global family in the future, he will give up his power and wealth only at the moment of his death.

Therefore, these sons will not give up being filial to him.

Moreover, Luo Qihong also felt that he had the ability to conquer his sons. After all, it was not easy to be a disciple of a wealthy family.

"Daddy, I want a little train, the kind in the amusement park." Luo Zhichong said in a baby voice.

"Daddy can afford a little train, but it can't fit in the villa. Where are you going to build it?" Luo Qihong pays great attention to inspiring his son's thinking and will not spoil him blindly.

Luo Zhichong's mind is much more mature than his peers. He knows that his father is testing him, and if he doesn't have a reasonable answer, he won't be able to get the little train.

Luo Qihong didn't disturb him and waited for his answer.

"The train in the amusement park is too big. As long as the track is shortened, it should be able to fit in the courtyard." Luo Zhichong couldn't think of any other solution, nor could he think of asking his dad to buy another piece of land for him to build a train.

"Okay, since you have thought of a solution, I will ask someone to come over and build you a train." Luo Qihong said with a smile, "However, we Chinese have a saying that goes 'no merit, no reward', which means that without merit, you cannot receive gifts."

"So, the little train needs to be exchanged for something else. Then Daddy has a request. Your English level needs to be as good as that of foreigners. How about that?"

Luo Zhichong's eyes lit up and he said, "Great! My English teacher praised me for my great progress. I can now communicate normally with foreigners."

"How awesome! Daddy will have someone build a train for you right away." Luo Qihong praised.

"Yeah! Then I can tell them that I have a little train at home." Luo Zhichong laughed playfully.

Luo Qihong also did not admonish Luo Zhichong not to show off, because Luo Qihong's son was destined to be extraordinary and must develop an aristocratic temperament.

Luo Qihong talked to Luo Zhichong for a while, then let him go and let him play by himself.

Guan Jiahui stood aside, watching the father and son whispering to each other with a smile, without interrupting them.

After Luo Zhichong ran to the side, Guan Jiahui approached Luo Qihong and said coquettishly, "You are so good to your son that you even agreed to build a train."

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "It's not right to be jealous of your son."

"I want to be jealous of my son, and I want something too. Do you think you can give it to me?"

"Give it to me, of course. But you have to tell me what you want first?" Luo Qihong laughed.

"A two-story office building in Central. How about it? Not much, right?" Guan Jiahui made a loud request.

"An office building in a small shopping mall?" Luo Qihong asked with a smile.

"An office building in a Grade A shopping mall!" Guan Jiahui said with a pursed mouth.

"..." Luo Qihong was suddenly speechless.

The price of office buildings in Central has not dropped much. A single-story Grade A commercial building in Central costs several hundred million, and a two-story building costs four or five hundred million. This requirement is no less than that of a commercial building in Causeway Bay.

"This is too demanding. My son's train can be built with just a few hundred thousand dollars, but your office building will cost hundreds of millions. I don't have that much money." Luo Qihong said with a sneer.

He gave Guan Jiahui hundreds of millions in cash and also gave hundreds of millions to other women. He is not a bank and does not have such a large cash flow.

"Jiahui, the Hang Seng Index has fallen so much now. My cash flow is very useful. It is unlikely that I can withdraw so much money to give you now." Luo Qihong explained, "Banks are also shrinking now, so it is difficult to give you sufficient loans."

"So you should just start with the small houses, luxury units and offices."

After two years of company management, Guan Jiahui's professional quality has improved.

She said, "People are selling their properties now. Will their wealth really be taken away by the mainland?"

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "No, the mainland is promoting economic opening up, how could it come to an abrupt halt? Hong Kong is the bridgehead of the mainland, and will only increase its support, not go back."

"If you're scared, you can wait. Now is not a good time to act."

"I feel relieved when you say that. Li Qiqi has always said that he wants to immigrate, but he is afraid of being ripped off by foreigners in an unfamiliar place, so he keeps asking me where he wants to immigrate to?" said Guan Jiahui.

"We won't immigrate for now, but we don't know about the future." Luo Qihong said, "If you really let you immigrate, which country would you like to go to?"

Guan Jiahui widened her eyes. She knew Luo Qihong's character very well and he would not do anything without a purpose.

“Are you really planning to emigrate?”

"No, it's not me who is immigrating, it's you and your son." Luo Qihong said patiently, "The first wife will take root in Hong Kong, so you have to go to another country."

"If our Luo family wants to grow stronger, we must spread out. Of course, this will happen in the next twenty or thirty years."

"Then which country do you think is better for my son and I to go to?" Guan Jiahui knew that this was a family strategy and she couldn't change it by acting like a spoiled brat.

"Singapore, Canada, and the United States are all fine." Luo Qihong said, "If it comes to living habits, Singapore is still the best."

"Okay, then let's go to Singapore. I like Singapore too." Guan Jiahui hugged Luo Qihong's arm and smiled sweetly.

"As for buying properties at a low price, wait for my news and prepare the cash first." Luo Qihong instructed.

"Many people in the market now want to pay in US dollars. How many US dollars do you have? Can you exchange some for me?" Guan Jiahui said coquettishly.

"Okay, then I'll let Dean Securities Investment Company give it to you. Is 5 million US dollars enough?" Luo Qihong felt that Guan Jiahui wanted to get something for free in another way.

"Humph! I'm not going to pay attention to you." Guan Jiahui shook off Luo Qihong's arm and said angrily, "You knew Bai Jinyan didn't like me, but you still asked me to exchange money with her."

Luo Qihong whispered in Guan Jiahui's ear, "She also needs your help. You two can just make an exchange. She won't give you a cold shoulder."

"She has something to ask of me? What does she want me to do?" Guan Jiahui asked puzzledly.

"There are some things that are inconvenient for her to do, but you can do them. Don't worry, she won't lie to you. I'm here." Luo Qihong said affectionately.

"Okay, then I'll go meet Mrs. Luo." Guan Jiahui straightened her clothes and said proudly.

The relationships between Luo Qihong's women were not harmonious. They competed with each other. Besides vying for his favor, they also wanted to prove their abilities and make Luo Qihong treat them differently so that they could get more.

Even the hot-tempered Li Jiaxin doesn't dare to lose her temper easily, but instead holds back and works hard. Although Li Jiaxin's business talent is the worst, it does not affect her business.

Because Luo Qihong was directing behind the scenes.
