Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 496 498 [Rejection]

In the end, Kwan Ka Wai bought three street-facing shops and one floor of an office building, and Li Jiaxin bought five shops with a total floor area of ​​up to 3 square feet. The two spent a total of HK$1 million.

The intermediary lady can get at least HK$100 million in commission, which is equivalent to her income for several years.

When I walked into the hotel restaurant with the two beauties, a familiar face came into view.

"Luo Sheng, I finally met you in Singapore." Li Mingzhi came over with several followers. "These two are Miss Guan and Miss Li, right? They are indeed famous beauties in Hong Kong."

It was the first time that Li Mingzhi saw Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin in person. He had only seen them in newspapers and gossip magazines before.

"Who are you?" Li Jiaxin asked bluntly, somewhat rudely.

Luo Qihong introduced the two people, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Li Mingzhi, the owner of Xiangjiang United Group. Both United Plaza in Tsim Sha Tsui and United Kashima Building in Wan Chai are his properties."

Guan Jiahui has always been more knowledgeable about the ways of the world. As soon as Luo Qihong mentioned his name, she knew Li Mingzhi's background. It was not until he talked about real estate that Li Jiaxin remembered some information about the United Group.

"Mr. Luo and the two ladies, could you please give me a chance to treat you to a meal?" Li Mingzhi did not feel embarrassed at all. He knew the women around Luo Qihong, and Li Jiaxin was well-known for being arrogant and innocent.

"Singapore is also Mr. Li's territory, so let Mr. Li show his hospitality as a good host." Luo Qihong laughed.

Although Li Mingzhi is worth tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, he is not as handsome as Luo Qihong. Moreover, Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin are both worth tens or even hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The Li Mingzhi in front of him is not attractive at all.

Entering the luxurious box, Luo Qihong sat opposite Li Mingzhi, and the two women naturally sat next to Luo Qihong.

"Wasn't he arrested by the Securities and Futures Commission? Why is he in Singapore?" Li Jiaxin asked puzzledly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he said.

Luo Qihong smiled slightly, not in a hurry to explain or smooth things over, but Guan Jiahui couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to speak up to ease the atmosphere.

Li Mingzhi caused big trouble in Australia and Hong Kong and was blacklisted by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. He will not achieve much in the future. After all, securities regulatory commissions around the world are afraid of such people.

Li Jiaxin has always had this kind of personality and work style, and there is no way to change it. This is also the reason why Luo Qihong was not very willing to take her to the banquet.

"Ms. Li, that's a rumor. I've already ordered someone to clarify it." Li Mingzhi was still not angry. "In fact, I didn't do anything illegal in Hong Kong, otherwise my company wouldn't be sold."

"Mr. Li, if you have anything to talk to me about, just tell me directly. We are old acquaintances." Luo Qihong drank the red wine in one gulp.

Li Mingzhi's style is to walk on the edge of laws and regulations, then test them madly, and finally make a fortune.

Luo Qihong was not really interested in this kind of cooperation, but if there were attractive benefits, he might be willing to take a risk.

In Singapore, he is still a 'newcomer' after all, with financial resources but not much influence. If he can use Li Mingzhi to break through the boundaries, it may not be a bad thing.

"Haha!! Mr. Luo speaks bluntly, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​Li Mingzhi laughed.

"I plan to transfer the assets in Hong Kong to Singapore, but the people here are somewhat prejudiced against me, so Luo Sheng and I will launch a takeover plan. Luo Sheng will be in the front row, and I will be behind the scenes. After the plan is completed, I will purchase your shares at a 5% premium."

Luo Qihong motioned Guan Jiahui to pour him a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, to be honest, Singapore is not Australia or Hong Kong. The state-owned enterprises here dominate the economy. It is not a completely free economy, and the laws are very strict. If you are not careful, you may be caned."

"Making money is just a simple thing for me. There is no need to take such a risk. This also concerns my credibility and reputation, so I'm sorry I can't help you."

Luo Qihong has businesses all over the world and has gradually opened up the market in Singapore. Cooperating with Li Mingzhi in the acquisition is really a bit of "covering one's ears and stealing the bell".

In Singapore, if the Z government thinks that he and Li Mingzhi are in cahoots, he will probably be on guard against all the time. He is also thinking of acquiring United Industrial Group and expanding his assets.

"Mr. Luo, after these two incidents, I have decided to run the company in a different way. I will not use the previous method anymore. Unfortunately, people look at people through tinted glasses and are unwilling to give me another chance." Li Mingzhi sighed.

Luo Qihong does not believe that Li Mingzhi will "turn over a new leaf". If he is determined to change, he can simply acquire a non-listed company and spend time running it. Li Mingzhi has a lot of assets in Hong Kong, so it is impossible for him to be short of funds at the moment.

If Li Mingzhi is obsessed with the listed company, he must have other plans. It is very likely that he wants to try the same thing again with a different name.

"Although my family is big and powerful, it cannot resist the trouble from the Z government. Mr. Li should find someone else." Luo Qihong waved his hand. "If there is other cooperation, I can consider it." "In fact, Mr. Li, have you ever thought about going to other countries to play, such as the United States? These countries advocate a completely free economy, which is very suitable for Mr. Li's methods."

It may not work in Singapore, but it is feasible in other countries. Moreover, no one will disrupt the market and attract attention, so Luo Qihong cannot take advantage of the situation.

Li Mingzhi smiled mysteriously and shook his head. "Those people on Wall Street are good at financial warfare. They have money and connections. I can't beat them at all. If I'm not careful, I might lose everything."

"I have also studied the former Jianing Group. Mr. Li might as well learn from it. I think Mr. Li will play the game better than Chen Songqing, and it will not be a problem for him to defeat those people on Wall Street." Luo Qihong instigated.

Li Mingzhi fell silent, obviously moved.

Return to the villa area in the afternoon.

Luo Qihong was lying on the sofa, browsing a financial magazine, which is a relatively authoritative publication in Singapore.

"Does Li Mingzhi often do these illegal businesses?" Guan Jiahui helped Luo Qihong peel grapes.

"At first he said it was not illegal, but when he got to Brother Hong he didn't deny it. This person just bullies the good and fears the evil." Li Jiaxin said with a snort.

"You mean, I'm the bad guy and you're the good guys?" Luo Qihong asked with a smile.

This woman always speaks without thinking. No wonder so many rich wives were afraid of her in her previous life. She is completely making a joke and is dragging others into being laughed at by outsiders.

"No, that's not what I meant." Li Jiaxin immediately tried to explain. Guan Jiahui smiled and took over the topic, "She meant that Li Mingzhi was a bad guy, but he claimed to be a good guy, saying one thing and doing another. She wasn't scolding you."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Li Jiaxin agreed somewhat aggrievedly.

Luo Qihong said, "Why are you feeling wronged? I am the one who should feel wronged. You made me look like a bad person."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You should stay away from people like Li Mingzhi in the future. It's best not to talk to him too much. Jiahui is right. Li Mingzhi is a person who often commits fraud and is easy to be deceived."

"Then did you teach him to cheat others before?" Guan Jiahui asked with a smile.

Luo Qihong thought about it carefully and decided to tell the truth. He didn't know whether Guan Jiahui could absorb and digest it.

"We are newcomers in Singapore. To put it nicely, we are newcomers. If we don't have a good reputation, who would want to do business with us? Besides, the Singapore market should not be too chaotic to facilitate the growth of our company."

Guan Jiahui opened her eyes slightly and asked happily, "What big project do you have? Do you want to acquire a company?"

Li Jiaxin was not stupid either. She quickly hugged Luo Qihong's arm and asked coquettishly, "When are we going to Australia to acquire the company?"

"This is still a company secret. You will know it soon." Luo Qihong pinched Guan Jiahui's face, turned to Li Jiaxin and said, "We need to take our time in Australia. We can't be impatient."

"I don't care. You are so rich now, you have to buy me a property in Singapore as compensation." Li Jiaxin rolled her eyes at Guan Jiahui's provocation and quickly asked for benefits.

Luo Qihong knew that Singapore's industries would be more important than Australia's, but this was only for now. In the future, Australia's assets would gradually increase and would radiate to Southeast Asian countries, cross-controlling with Singapore's industries.

"Okay, no problem. I can give you a down payment, but you have to repay the loan yourself." Luo Qihong would not always agree to Li Jiaxin's unreasonable requests, usually he would cut it in half.

"I don't have money to repay the loan." Li Jiaxin turned her face away and said unhappily.

"An entire shopping mall, don't you want it?" Luo Qihong said with a smile.

It's just a small matter to control Li Jiaxin.

"Yes." Li Jiaxin's eyes suddenly lit up and she shook Luo Qihong's arm like a little child.
