Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 523 525 [Don’t be too aggressive]

Yuan Tianfan sighed, "We have been friends for more than ten years. If possible, I hope to deal with this matter calmly."

"We originally planned to continue the cooperation in this way, and I accepted it. Although there are hidden dangers, the actual control of the company is still in my hands. Now it is no longer possible. Cai Shiliang and I have a new problem. He does not want to change the system of Haiyu International and wants to continue to run it as a family business."

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, you are a professional manager of Haiyu International, and your boss is still Cai Shiliang and his family. This person really used an acquaintance to deceive you, and you are willing to be fooled."

No matter what friends or relatives they are, as long as core interests are involved, they can turn against each other at any time. It is absolutely true that even father and son can fight for money.

"Mr. Luo, can you initiate an acquisition of Haiyu International?" Yuan Tianfan still stated the purpose of this trip.

Luo Qihong also had some guesses about this and was not surprised, but Yuan Tianfan's words were really presumptuous. This was an acquisition case worth hundreds of millions, not tens of millions. How could it be used to do favors?

"Tianfan, to be honest, the acquisition of Haiyu International is not in the interests of Heng'an Investment Company. I can support you and Cai Shiliang in the acquisition battle, but you must know that your chances of winning are very low, and if you fail, there will be great losses." Luo Qihong reminded sternly.

After all, Yuan Tianfan is not a mature businessman. He is only suitable to be a senior manager because the pros and cons are so obvious, but he has to maintain his face, and he may not be able to get it back.

"I know everything you said, but I still don't want to give up. Is there no other way?" Yuan Tianfan said.

"No, there is no other way." Luo Qihong shook his head directly.

The business world has always been so cruel. For the sake of a breath of air or to refuse to give up, one may very likely suffer huge losses or even be heavily in debt. Therefore, if one wants to break through the siege and become an evergreen, one must be rational enough.

Any hatred or grudge can be dealt with later. The first thing to do is to survive, and survive well.

In fact, Yuan Tianfan and Cai Shiliang have very different styles of doing things. This is a typical collision between Western corporate management and Eastern family management, and it is not entirely because Cai Shiliang is holding back.

Yuan Tianfan was silent for a long time, and then said, "Mr. Luo, I discovered something in management. Haiyu Securities, a securities company under Haiyu International, has 6 accounts that use the company's 'margin investment' to invest. Among them, they hold a large number of Haiyu International shares, accounting for about 30% of the issued shares."

"If I can find a way to move these shares out, I think I still have a chance of winning, and maybe Cai Shiliang will make concessions."

If they can take 30% of the shares, plus the 30.82% held by Yuan Tianfan, Luo Qihong and others, the total will exceed 60%. Even if Cai Shiliang dilutes the shares with certified shares, they will still have a certain advantage.

"Of course we can initiate a takeover." Luo Qihong immediately felt that luck was on Yuan Tianfan's side. "I can acquire this part of the shares, but I still have to remind you that once the battle for it occurs, you and Cai Shiliang will become enemies, and there will be no room for maneuver. I hope you won't be soft-hearted."

He finally figured it out. It was unlikely that Yuan Tianfan would return to Heng'an Investment. It would be better to let him take over Haiyu International. Heng'an Investment Company would definitely become the largest shareholder of Haiyu International, and the benefits would not be small.

"Yeah!" Yuan Tianfan nodded, seemingly perfunctorily. He probably didn't want to completely turn against her.

Zhaoan Group Corporation.

"Madam." The company employees greeted the proud Bai Jinyan one after another, and Bai Jinyan responded one by one with "Hello"

Her private real estate company acquired the land at No. 1 May Road in the Mid-Levels from the government land auction. She will soon become a Hong Kong female billionaire with a net worth of 40 billion. Even in the whole of Hong Kong, a net worth of billion can rank her among the top .

"Madam seems to be in a good mood today." A female employee in a short skirt whispered to her colleague.

In Zhaoan Group, it is very risky to dare to talk about the boss's wife. If Bai Jinyan hears it, at best he will be worried, and at worst he will be fired.

You should know that the salary of Zhaoan Group is 2% higher than that of similar groups, and you can get a % discount when entering the shopping malls and hotels under Zhaoan Group. There are also shopping cards of considerable value during holidays.
The benefits are much better than those of companies like Hutchison Whampoa, so employees cherish the opportunity to work in Zhaoan Group. "Is your boss here?" Bai Jinyan asked Luo Qihong's secretary.

The two secretaries quickly stood up, bowed, and replied, "Ma'am, the boss is in the office."

So Bai Jinyan pushed the door open and saw Luo Qihong playing golf, so he smiled and said, "You look so interesting."

"You're in a good mood too. I guess it's because you got the land at No. 1 Meidao." Luo Qihong laughed and gently exerted force with his wrist, and the golf ball went into the hole.

"You guessed half right. The other half is that the market value of Asia Securities has exceeded 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is expected to exceed 50 billion this Friday." Bai Jinyan smiled brightly, as if the achievements of Asia Securities proved her ability.

"Really? So awesome." Luo Qihong responded perfunctorily. He seldom managed the company directly. He usually participated in decision-making and used his confidants to check and balance.

Bai Jinyan curled his lips and said, "I know I can't compare to you, but Asia Securities is very important to me. Next year, I will make the market value of Asia Securities exceed 10 billion, surpass Sun Hung Kai Securities, and become one of the top three investment companies in Hong Kong."

Luo Qihong put away his golf club and said with a smile, "I received news that the Hong Kong government is discussing whether to intervene in the overheated market. I think the resolution to intervene is likely to pass. Your plan to increase your market value by 10 billion may have to be delayed for a while."

Bai Jinyan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in surprise, "Is the news accurate? Do you know the specific measures?"

Luo Qihong shook his head. "There is no news on this yet. The stock market and the local market are two brothers. If you want to intervene in the market, you must include the stock market and the local market. The Asian Securities should be careful and not be too ostentatious."

"Then don't we have to sell the stocks and securities we just bought? This will cause some losses." Bai Jinyan was still unwilling to accept this and was hoping for the best, thinking that the Hong Kong government would not act so quickly.

Bai Jinyan treated Yazheng as his own beloved son. After the successful acquisition, he made rapid progress, bought up stocks in the stock market, and hired newspapers to hype up the stock price. Now its foundation is still unstable, and a sudden contraction will easily arouse suspicion from the outside world.

It is very likely to cause the share price of Asia Securities to be unstable, or even fall to the bottom, which will also be bad for Bai Jinyan's reputation.

"Not so fast, but you have to be prepared. I guess the real estate developers will definitely fight back against the Hong Kong government, so there will be some signals, and you can deal with it then." Luo Qihong took a sip of coffee and said lightly.

"That's good." Bai Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the situation was not too bad. At least there was enough time to deal with it.

"It is better not to develop the land at No. 1 Meidao for now. Wait until this storm is over." Luo Qihong reminded Bai Jinyan.

Although Bai Jinyan will find Baohua Construction Company under Zhaoan Group to contract the project, these matters will definitely not be reported to Luo Qihong, and Luo Qihong has a lot of official duties and has no time to take care of it.

"Okay, I understand." Bai Jinyan nodded cautiously.

"Since Asia Securities has become the flagship of the group in the securities and stock field, Dean Securities Investment Company should reduce the proportion of its investment in Hong Kong and extend its tentacles internationally. I will give you several places, the United States, the Mainland and the United Kingdom." Luo Qihong said quite seriously.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements later." Bai Jinyan said, "Is the focus on the United States?"

Luo Qihong shook his head. "There are two key points, the United States and the mainland. Let's put it this way. The United States will invest $5 million and the mainland will invest $2 million. Both will be mainly stocks, and will not participate in actual operations."

The mainland is in a period of rapid development, with a large number of companies going public. It is not uncommon for the market value to increase by dozens of times, while some state-owned enterprises may even increase by hundreds of times.

Luo Qihong expects to earn hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in these markets, allowing the Luo family to join the ranks of world-class families.
