Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 543 545 [Odus Telecom] (New Book Xiangjiang 1984 Please Collect)
Luo Qihong remembers that the Central Terminal of the Airport Railway was built into an international financial center, and the total investment, including the land cost, was HK$400 billion (the HK$200 billion mentioned above was only the initial land cost), but after 2015 it was valued at HK$2500 billion, which is a very high return on investment.

Luo Qihong's family and its subsidiaries can naturally take on this project, but unexpected situations are prone to occur, and some profits must be shared with others.

"We can cooperate in bidding for the Central Airport Railway Station project, but I want to have a 6% stake and also need to win over other consortiums," Luo Qihong said seriously.

Huang Zhixiang said anxiously, "Then we won't even get 3% of the rights and interests? Luo Sheng, this is against the rules, right?"

Luo Qihong sneered and said, "Mr. Huang, if this is a project in Singapore, will you give me 3% of the equity?"

"." Huang Zhixiang immediately shut up, his eyes a little evasive. He knew that what Luo Qihong said made sense.

Huang Tingfang said, "How about this, Sino Real Estate owns 15%, and my family owns 10%, for a total of 25%, how about that?"

"Okay, I'll find someone to cooperate with for the remaining 15% of the equity." Luo Qihong nodded and said, "I can take some losses in other projects."

The planning of the International Financial Center complex is a low-rise building complex (shopping center) connected to the airport and railway entrances, with a total area estimated to be 80 square feet.

The hotel building is approximately 110 million square feet, and the hotel guests stay in is naturally a hotel brand owned by Luo Qihong.

The first phase of IFC has a floor area of ​​80 square feet, a building height of about 150 meters, and approximately 50 floors; the second phase will build a commercial building with more than 88 floors, creating a new landmark building in Hong Kong.

This will become the Luo family's most valuable property in Hong Kong, surpassing Dehe Plaza in one fell swoop.

As for other airport and railway stations, Luo Qihong plans to join hands with Zhaoan Group to acquire one as a long-term property.

In fact, Zhaoan Group has many shopping malls in Hong Kong, more than department stores, and they are also one of the main sources of income for Zhaoan Group.

Compared with Dehe Real Estate Company, it only excels in commercial buildings.

Early October.

Nearly half of the power of Zhaoan Group is concentrated in Bai Jinyan's hands, and the daily management rights of China Gas Company are also in Bai Jinyan's hands, so Bai Jinyan is very busy.

Luo Qihong often teases Bai Jinyan, saying that she will age quickly due to her hard work. In fact, Luo Qihong is busier than Bai Jinyan. After all, his industries are spread all over the world, and even if he grasps the general direction, it is difficult to handle everything.

"I plan to acquire a financial bank as the flagship of the bank's investment direction, and it will also be your industry in the future." Luo Qihong said with a smile.

In this world, the financial industry makes the most money, but it is also very risky. However, if it is managed safely, there will not be too many problems.

Moreover, if Luo Qihong wants to develop and become a world-class family, he must be involved in the financial industry, otherwise it will be difficult to gain momentum. Therefore, he plans to spend a lot of money to build the Luo family bank.

Bai Jinyan originally had some complaints about Luo Qihong's big move in Singapore, but now when he heard about such a big project, all his worries were swept away and he approached Luo Qihong with a bright smile.

"Do you have a specific goal?" Bai Jinyan asked.

Luo Qihong shook his head and said, "We are still investigating. We should have a specific goal by next year. I have started to mobilize funds."

"Give priority to American banks?" Bai Jinyan said.

As the center of the world, banks in the United States have natural advantages and it is easier for them to expand.

But Luo Qihong was not interested in these. "Not necessarily! British banks are also good." Then Cheng Jianshen knocked on the door and came in, holding a few documents in his hands. "Boss, Miss Bai!"

"Sit down." Luo Qihong said lightly, "What's the matter?"

"Boss, the group currently has a lot of funds on its books, so I looked around and found a telecommunications company that can be acquired, but this company is located in Australia." Cheng Jianshen handed over all the documents.

Otus Telecom Australia is the second largest telecommunications company in Australia, with 400 million users now. It was only founded in 92 and has defeated many telecommunications companies in just over two years, which shows how good its prospects are.

With the support of Luo Qihong, the telecommunications industry under the Zhaoan Group has been developed all over the country. It has large and small telecommunications branches in the UK, Hong Kong, Southeast Asian countries and South America. According to the current market value, it is worth more than HK$500 billion.

The best among them are the telecommunications industries in the UK and Hong Kong. If Zhaoan Telecom acquires Otus Telecom, its market value will increase by at least HK$200 billion.

"How confident are you?" Luo Qihong asked Cheng Jianshen as he flipped through the book.

"6%. The major shareholder of this company is facing some financial difficulties and needs a large amount of funds to turn over. We can definitely take over." Cheng Jianshen replied.

"Well, I will let Australia Heng'an Investment Company contact you, and you two will acquire this company together, and the management rights will belong to Zhao'an Telecom." Luo Qihong made the final decision. Originally, he wanted to make Odus Telecom an asset of the Australian branch family, but the branch family did not have a connecting company in Australia.

If he insists on taking it down, it will only distract his attention. Now is a year of great struggle and crises are lurking everywhere. His main focus should be on controlling the overall situation.

"Yes!" Seeing that the boss agreed, Cheng Jianshen did not stay any longer.

"Does that company have great potential?" Bai Jinyan asked after Cheng Jianshen left.

Luo Qihong nodded and explained, "The telecommunications industry in all countries is now a piece of fat meat. In the future, telecommunications will be one of the main businesses of Zhaoan Group and the main source of profit."

"No wonder you have been spending so much energy on expanding the telecommunications industry." Bai Jinyan began to want to take away the management rights of the telecommunications industry again.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Luo Qihong changed the subject and said, "The Hong Kong government has been adjusting the land market for several months. The stock market has not fallen as much as before. You can consider buying some stocks with potential at the bottom."

In fact, Hong Kong stocks still have a relatively large decline, but Zhaoan Group has too much capital and needs to buy for a long time, otherwise it will cause turmoil in the stock market.

"Isn't it a bit too early? The Hang Seng Index is still falling. I estimate that it will fall below 8000 points and then enter a bear market." Bai Jinyan said worriedly.

Having been engaged in finance and stocks for so many years, Bai Jinyan has become very experienced. With the assistance of a think tank, he is fully capable of doing a good job in investment, so he dares to stick to his own opinions.

“So I ask you to buy the bottom of some stocks that won’t fall much, rather than all stocks. You need to be selective in buying them.” Luo Qihong said impatiently.

Bai Jinyan was not afraid at all and continued, "Can we wait a little longer?"

Luo Qihong nodded. "Okay! The maximum delay is 45 days."

"As we approach 97, we need to be cautious, but not too cautious. We have too much capital on hand, and it is not cost-effective to rely solely on interest. It goes against the principles of investment and the interests of the group."

"The main reason is that the bidding for the airport-railway station is about to take place, and the group needs a large amount of funds." Bai Jinyan found another reason.

"Don't worry, my dear wife. Zhaoan Group is in good operating condition. Many banks are willing to lend us money. Moreover, the shipping industry, real estate industry, securities and stocks, port terminals, etc. will be able to recover a large amount of funds before next year, which can fully cover the expenses." Luo Qihong said earnestly.
