Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 535 537 [I don't want to offend anyone]

A few days later, Cai Shiliang, the founder of Haiyu International, actually came to Luo Qihong. Luo Qihong originally didn't want to meet this person, but Bai Jinyan wanted Haiyu International as a joint venture company, so Luo Qihong agreed.

In fact, whether Luo Qihong goes or not, Haiyu International will split up, and this is something Cai Shiliang cannot stop.

"Mr. Luo, I've heard of your great name for a long time!" Cai Shiliang stood up quickly with a smile on his face and walked over to shake hands with Luo Qihong.

Luo Qihong glanced at the young man next to Cai Shiliang, who should be his son-in-law Lu Jingyu.

"Hello! Mr. Cai! Who is this?" Luo Qihong smiled slightly. He had been in a high position for a long time. Cai Shiliang was not young, but his financial resources were much less than his.

"Hello, Mr. Luo, nice to meet you! I am Lu Jingyu." Lu Jingyu quickly introduced himself.

Cai Shiliang then added, "He is my son-in-law. I am bringing him out to see the world. Luo Sheng won't mind, right?"

"No, young people need opportunities to grow." In fact, Luo Qihong is only a few years older than Lu Jingyu.

After the three of them sat down, they praised each other for a few words and then got down to business.

"Luo Sheng's Zhaoan Group is well-known in Hong Kong. Haiyu International is just a small company. There won't be much benefit for Zhaoan Group to acquire it." Cai Shiliang said with a smile.

Luo Qihong naturally knew what Cai Shiliang was thinking, but trying to convince him with just his tongue was too weak, and he was using the same tactics he used to deal with small people to deal with him.

If Cai Shiliang showed his benefits right from the start, Luo Qihong might look at him differently.

"Mr. Cai, do you know why I came here?"

After Luo Qihong said this, Cai Shiliang was slightly surprised and seemed to wake up.

"Because I want to see what conditions Mr. Cai can offer. If Mr. Cai still has this attitude, I'm afraid I don't have so much time to accompany you." Luo Qihong said bluntly. Of course, he has the capital and qualifications.

"Haha! Okay, Mr. Luo is so straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush. I am willing to purchase the Haiyu International shares in your hands at a 3% premium. What do you think, Mr. Luo?" Cai Shiliang laughed dryly to ease the embarrassment.

Although Luo Qihong has been famous for a long time, he is also a well-known figure in Hong Kong. With his son-in-law by his side, he certainly does not want to embarrass himself.

"Not so good." Luo Qihong smiled slightly. "Mr. Cai should know the relationship between Yuan Tianfan and me. I believe it is not a problem for Yuan Tianfan to raise the share price of Haiyu International by 3% within a year. Besides, I will also get dividends. Mr. Cai's conditions are really not attractive."

Cai Shiliang couldn't help but feel the pain in his flesh. Before coming here, he had guessed that he would have to cut off some flesh. Now it seemed that he would have to cut off his arm and be reborn.

Luo Qihong's "reputation" spread throughout Hong Kong. Cai Shiliang studied Luo Qihong's resume for a long time, but he still didn't study it thoroughly enough.

"Mr. Luo, please state the conditions. I will never bargain." Cai Shiliang had to be generous, which surprised his son-in-law Lu Jingyu next to him.

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Mr. Cai still doesn't understand what I mean, so let me be frank. Relatively speaking, I am more optimistic about Yuan Tianfan, so Mr. Cai's best choice should be to 'cut off his arm', otherwise he may have nothing."

"Mr. Cai has fallen into a complete disadvantage. All he wants to do is delay time and make Yuan Tianfan lose his vigilance, so that he can achieve his goal in the end."

Finally, a trace of fear appeared on Cai Shiliang's face. He suddenly felt that if he had faced Luo Qihong, he would have lost long ago. This man was indeed as powerful as the rumors said.

"Mr. Luo, is there really no room for maneuver?" Cai Shiliang still wanted to fight for it.

Luo Qihong said, "If Yuan Tianfan listened to me, Mr. Cai would have withdrawn from Haiyu International by now, and Yuan Tianfan would have gotten the entire Haiyu International, not half of it now. Can Mr. Cai understand what I mean?"

There is no doubt that Luo Qihong wants the entire Haiyu International. Now he has left half of it to Cai Shiliang, which is already very kind. If Cai Shiliang is not satisfied and provokes Luo Qihong to intervene personally, Cai Shiliang will have no choice but to withdraw.

Luo Qihong left the room, and Cai Shiliang sat on the chair in a depressed mood. This time he had invited a wolf into the house. If it was just Yuan Tianfan, he would still have a chance to win, but unfortunately there was Luo Qihong behind Yuan Tianfan. Now it was impossible to take back Haiyu International. "Daddy, why don't we fight Luo Qihong? We can definitely find foreign aid." Lu Jingyu urged.

Cai Shiliang has no son and his daughter is not good at business. As long as he defeats Luo Qihong, Lu Jingyu will be the next "Wu Guangzheng" and can create the Lu family in Hong Kong.

"Who are you looking for? Foreign-funded or local financial institutions? Can you guarantee that they are not afraid of Luo Qihong?" Cai Shiliang said angrily, "Do you think Luo Qihong is you? He has been famous for so long. If he didn't have some skills, he would have been swallowed up by others. How could he have the momentum he has today?"

"We have to give it a try," Lu Jingyu muttered.

"Hmph! Give it a try? That's easy for you to say. But you're really bold to give half of Haiyu International a try." Cai Shiliang said gritting his teeth.

After returning, Luo Qihong called Yuan Tianfan and told him about today's meeting, which immediately led Yuan Tianfan to curse Cai Shiliang for being shameless and made Yuan Tianfan determined to split up Haiyu International.

The next day, both parties told the media that they would split Haiyu International, and Cai Shiliang would take over Haihui Company, including its cold storage and financial businesses.

You should know that these two businesses are very profitable. The cold storage alone can earn HK$2 million in rent annually. Add in the financial business, it is not a problem to earn HK$3 million annually.

With these profits, Cai Shiliang will be able to rebuild "Haiyu International" in no time.

Yuan Tianfan took over some scattered industries, the most valuable of which were the property assets left by the former Jinyou Real Estate and Dabao Real Estate. As for electronic manufacturing, shipping, and textiles, they were all useless.

However, Yuan Tianfan is very capable and may be able to defeat Cai Shiliang in the future.

After the separation of Haiyu International was completed, gossip magazines published some rumors, saying that Luo Qihong personally intervened in the split, otherwise Yuan Tianfan would not have obtained so many industries.

In response to the reporter's questions, Luo Qihong generously admitted that Yuan Tianfan was his friend and how could he help an outsider.

Therefore, Hong Kong citizens began to say that Luo Qihong was a tycoon who "helped his relatives but not others".

Therefore, many people regard Haiyu International as a company under the Luo Qihong family, and Yuan Tianfan is just helping with management.

The government land auction in May was held smoothly. The bosses of the big real estate companies did not attend at all, but only sent a few vice presidents.

Luo Qihong hid in a club and had a great time playing poker with Cheng Yutong and others.

If the big real estate developers join forces, the price of the two government lands may be 5% to 10% higher than the reserve price, which will greatly reduce the Hong Kong government's fiscal revenue.

Major real estate developers believe that this move can control the Hong Kong government and teach it a lesson, but in Luo Qihong's view, this is a dirty trick.

Public opinion is now in the direction of the real estate developers, which is not favorable to the Hong Kong government. If they do this now, public opinion will inevitably turn to the direction of the Hong Kong government again, and the real estate developers will be at a disadvantage.

"This time we should be able to deal a heavy blow to the Hong Kong government." Liu Luanxiong laughed and played a King of Clubs.

Cheng Yutong looked at Luo Qihong and asked, "Ah Hong, what do you think?"

Luo Qihong smiled and said, "I'm afraid it will lead to a bad consequence. Once public opinion turns against us, the real estate developers will be in a very bad situation."

Cheng Yutong nodded and said, "It's the same as mine. However, New World Development doesn't have much land left, so it won't have much impact on New World Development. Instead, it's Siu On Real Estate. Why don't you stop it?"

"Uncle Tung is joking. The Kwok brothers of Sun Hung Kai Properties and Mr. Li of Cheung Kong Holdings have both come out to confront the Hong Kong government, and they are the ones leading the charge. Why should I stop them? If I'm not careful, I'll offend the two giants."
