Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 498 500 [Cooperation is based on interests]

These so-called wealthy wives are not as rich as the outside world imagines. They may have some assets, cash, and jewelry under their names, but very few of them own their own companies.

It's not that the rich are stingy. The company belongs to the family and must be inherited by the family's descendants. Women play the role of "good wives" more and will not participate in the daily management of the family company.

Guan Jiahui's words shocked these wealthy wives, but some of them did not believe it. They did not want Guan Jiahui, an outsider, to steal the spotlight.

"We are far away in Hong Kong, so we don't know whether it is true or not, and the newspapers haven't mentioned it either."

Hearing such questioning words, the other women were happy to watch the fun and turned their eyes to Guan Jiahui, waiting for her rebuttal.

"Whether it's true or false, it's all mine. There's no need to prove it. I believe that when I become a member of the board of directors of Yeo Hiap Seng Group, you will know the truth." Guan Jiahui remembered how generous and graceful Bai Jinyan was on TV. Singapore would be her territory, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"." The wealthy wives didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Some families that are ranked slightly higher have already received the news, and the wives of the wealthy families also know that Luo Qihong is not someone who is easy to mess with. He does things in Hong Kong in a very overbearing way, and it will be difficult to clean up the situation if you offend him.

So they began to change the subject and brought up luxury goods.

Talking about these things, the atmosphere became much better and Guan Jiahui gradually became part of it.

the other side.

"Does Luo Sheng forcefully acquire Yeo Hiap Seng Group in order to take root in Singapore?" Khoo Teck Puat asked with a smile. It seemed casual, but he actually wanted to know.

Singapore has even fewer resources than Hong Kong. With the addition of Luo Qihong, they will get even less. If Luo Qihong just wants to work in the food and beverage industry, it will not have much impact on them.

"Southeast Asian consortiums are exporting capital to Hong Kong. Doesn't Mr. Qiu welcome people from Hong Kong to invest in Singapore?" Luo Qihong said with a smile.

Having worked with Khoo Teck Puat several times, both parties were aware of the situation they were facing.

Luo Qihong's acquisition of Yeo Hiap Seng Group is equivalent to Kuo Teck Puat's acquisition of Wheelock Company. It has already established a firm foothold in Singapore and cannot be shaken by Kuo Teck Puat.

"Welcome, of course." Khoo Teck Puat knew he was being rude. "It will benefit everyone if Singapore's pie gets bigger."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qiu. Singapore is my investment place, and my base is still in Hong Kong. I think we have a lot of areas for cooperation. The market in Southeast Asia is too big. The three countries of Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand alone are enough for us to play with." Luo Qihong said with a smile.

He cannot stay in Singapore forever, so he needs to be a little more restrained in his usual style in Hong Kong, preferably like Huang Tingfang in Hong Kong.

"Haha!! This is the best. Cooperation is a win-win situation. Yeo Hiap Seng Group has a large factory on the Kallang Riverside. The city government seems to be planning to carry out urban transformation. Does Mr. Luo plan to find a partner?" Qiu Delu was getting a little too demanding.

"No plans. The group is fully capable of independent development, and this project will take a long time." Luo Qihong refused directly.

He has even put his hand into Luo Qihong's bowl. He is really shameless.

According to Luo Qihong's personality and style, even if he wanted to find a partner, it would not be Qiu Debao. Huang Tingfang would be a better choice.

"Where does Mr. Luo plan to move the factory? In Malaysia?" Huang Tingfang suddenly felt that this was an opportunity. It would be better to cooperate with Luo Qihong than to compete with him. At least he could get a share of the pie and the loss would not be too great.

"Well, it should be in Johor Bahru, but the exact location has not yet been determined. Johor Bahru is across the sea from Singapore, and I personally think it's a good place to invest." Luo Qihong said, "Mr. Huang, are you interested in going to Johor Bahru to buy land together?"

"Okay, then let's find a place to talk slowly another day." Huang Tingfang said with a smile.

Building a commercial city is too costly and risky. Luo Qihong is so capable that the possibility of failure of the project is much lower.

Qiu Deba frowned slightly. Luo Qihong's invitation to Huang Tingfang was undoubtedly a slap in the face, but he had no way to return it for the time being. "I heard that Luo Sheng's Zhaoan Group has a lot of investments in the UK. How about we cooperate and defeat those foreign consortiums?" Huang Zuyao also took the opportunity to invite him, so that he could consume Luo Qihong's investment capital in Singapore and disperse the family's investment pressure in the UK.

"No problem! That's exactly what I meant." Luo Qihong had his own purpose. He wanted to learn more about the situation of United Overseas Bank so that it would be easier for him to acquire United Industrial Group in the future.

As a result, Luo Qihong gained a lot during the banquet, and many powerful families extended olive branches to him.

This is extremely beneficial for the Luo family to take root in Singapore. At least it is much better than the situation when the Huang Tingfang family first arrived in Hong Kong.

Of course, this is also due to Luo Qihong's strong financial resources. The Huang Tingfang family was not so bold at the beginning, fearing that there would be huge losses.

The banquet ended and we returned to the villa.

Li Jiaxin hurried over, but when she smelled the alcohol on him, she took a few steps back.

"Husband, did you see that? The third child dislikes you." Guan Jiahui complained with a red face and a smile.

Luo Qihong was a little tipsy, but still sober. He smiled and said, "I'll go take a shower first."

"Hmph! Your husband won't be fooled by you. Didn't anyone expose you by attending the banquet under the name of Mrs. Luo?" Li Jiaxin quickly fought back.

Hearing this, Guan Jiahui's face fell. That group of rich wives really despised her and thought she was a lover. It was a bit embarrassing for her to be with them, the principal wives.

"Haha!! I guessed right. Fortunately, I didn't go." Li Jiaxin laughed dryly and remembered that she was a lover.

"You too, aren't you? You stinky woman!" Guan Jiahui rushed over and hugged Li Jiaxin, "I'll give you all my alcohol smell."

While Luo Qihong was taking a bath upstairs, he heard a small noise outside. When he sat up to see clearly, two figures appeared in front of him.

"What do you want to do?" Li Jiaxin and Guan Jiahui came over with wine glasses and red wine, with bright smiles on their faces.

"What do you think?" Li Jiaxin smiled.

So, there were two more people in the bathtub, and they were doing intimate actions from time to time.

“Those Singaporeans are very hostile to us Hong Kong people and they even laughed at me,” Guan Jiahui complained.

Luo Qihong had no intention of helping Guan Jiahui. That was a woman's matter and he could not lower himself to retaliate. If it got out, it would be a considerable hindrance to the family's development in Singapore.

"When facing exclusion, I suggest you pull in a group, beat up a group, and build your own circle."

Guan Jiahui blinked her big eyes and said, "Do you want me to please them?"

“Why should we please them? Don’t you want to speculate in properties in Singapore? Why not bring in those women you like? They won’t think the money is too much, right?” Luo Qihong said with a cheerful laugh.

"Isn't this just flattery?" Li Jiaxin muttered, leaning her head on Luo Qihong's chest.

"Doing so will also be beneficial to you. After all, they are native Singaporeans and are more informed about the news about Singapore's real estate than you are. You can buy in time, and you can also expand your circle of interpersonal relationships and the scale of your investment," Luo Qihong analyzed.

Li Jiaxin still thought that bringing in other people would dilute her profits, but Guan Jiahui looked thoughtful, thinking about how to start.
