Hong Kong 1980: The Savage Era

Chapter 551 553 [Play with me? ] (asking for a monthly ticket)

Yan family villa.

Liu Luanxiong has sent someone to contact Yan Chengkun, offering to buy their shares in China Bus Company at a 2% premium, and at the same time promised to exchange them for some high-quality properties under Chinese Estates Holdings. If they are willing, a list of properties will be sent to them.

Faced with such a strong temptation, Yan Chengkun thought this might be a good choice.

In fact, Liu Luanxiong is a thug in the stock market and has rarely made concessions. This time the concession was unexpected.

"Dad, Liu Luanxiong is actually willing to please us. It seems that we still have a chance to take back China Bus Company." Yan Jie Ling said with some joy.

Although Yan Chengkun is old, he also has moments of clarity. He immediately figured out whose style of doing things this is. "This shouldn't be the work of Liu Luanxiong, it's more like Luo Qihong's way of doing things. Sure enough, Luo Qihong is behind this." Yan Chengkun sighed. If Luo Qihong really got involved, he would never be able to regain his foundation.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jie Ling and her brother frowned. They were more afraid of Luo Qihong's power than Yan Chengkun.

"What should we do? Should we agree to Liu Luanxiong's request?" Yan Jie Ling asked.

Yan Chengkun was naturally unwilling to accept this, but he also understood that the situation was pressing. If he continued to fight with Liu Luanxiong, Liu Luanxiong's financial skills could not be underestimated, and he might be played to death.

"Agree, but we want to take some valuable properties as much as possible, and not the junk."

"Dad is right. China Bus Company has transformed into a real estate company. If we give up China Bus Company, we can start our own business. No outsiders will be able to get involved in our family business in the future." Yan Jie Qiang said.

The market value of China Motor Bus Company is close to HK$40 billion. The Yan family holds a 34.9% stake, which, with a 2% premium, is worth more than HK$14 billion, enough for the Yan family to set up another real estate company.

Moreover, the current real estate market is booming. According to the Yan siblings' idea, doubling the company's asset value is not a problem. That would be another China Bus Company.

"A Ling, take your brothers to talk to Liu Luanxiong." Yan Chengkun said with finality.

At this point, China Bus Company completed its first change of ownership and fell into the hands of the strongman Liu Luanxiong.

As soon as the news came out, it caused quite a stir. The outside world did not expect that Yan Chengkun's family was so weak that they could not even fight the anti-takeover war and surrendered.

It really brought shame to the old family. Of course, shareholders all want to see China-Pakistan shares continue to rise so that their own profits can be increased. Unfortunately, no one's money comes from the wind.

After entering 1996, good news continued to come from the Zhaoan Group. The Australian Odus Telecom Company was successfully acquired, and Zhaoan Telecom held 49% of its shares, thus controlling the board of directors.

However, this acquisition did not cause much shock in Hong Kong. After all, the overseas expansion of the Zhaoan Group is nothing new. It even acquired the British Bank of Bahrain, which has a history of more than 200 years.

As a result, Zhaoan Group’s debt has risen to HK$300 billion. If it continues to bid for the Tuen Mun inland port, its debt will double.

Of course, this is equivalent to the asset value of more than 5000 billion yuan of Zhaoan Group, which is nothing. However, Luo Qihong has different ideas.

The Asian financial crisis is about to hit, and Zhaoan Group's high debt will affect the bottom-fishing wave and defeat Soros and other Western capitalists.

So he has to make profits from elsewhere to fill this gap.

Thursday, March 1th.

The public tender for the Tuen Mun Inland River Container Terminal was announced. There are two bidding consortiums, Hengxing Freight Terminal Co., Ltd. and Inland River Freight Terminal Co., Ltd.

The former is a consortium company jointly formed by Asia Container Terminals Corporation and China COSCO Shipping, and the latter is a consortium led by Hutchison Whampoa and Sun Hung Kai Properties.

Hengxing Freight Terminal Company won the bid with a land grant price of HK$15 billion. The two companies agreed on many aspects. Hengxing's advantage lies in transportation. After winning the bid, it agreed to help the Hong Kong government improve transportation routes within 30 kilometers of Tuen Mun Terminal, including roads and bus transportation.

It seems that the cost has increased a lot, but in fact it has raised the land price in Tuen Mun, which is very beneficial to the Siu On Group, which owns a large amount of land in Tuen Mun. Moreover, the signed contract stipulates that this cost will be borne by the Siu On Group.

After seeing Hengxing Company's bidding document, Li Jiacheng's face turned extremely ugly. He did not expect Luo Qihong to be so bold and to spread the plan on such a large scale. He was not worried at all about the repeated fluctuations in the local market, which would cause serious losses to Zhaoan Group.

"This guy has taken away several of my big projects, including overseas markets. He is truly my strongest rival."

Looking back to the late 70s and early 80s, Li Jiacheng defeated Hong Kong Land Development and took over Hutchison Whampoa, becoming the most prestigious Chinese businessman in Hong Kong. Now he has become a stepping stone for Luo Qihong.

Li Jiacheng still has many advantages, such as retail, energy, infrastructure, and medical care, but he doesn't know how long these industry advantages can last.

In early March, a news item was published in a Hong Kong newspaper: The gangster Ye Jihan brought heavy weapons into Hong Kong, exchanged fire with the police, was wounded and then arrested. At the same time, two gangsters were killed and one escaped with injuries.

This news caught Luo Qihong's attention. People like Zhang Ziqiang are simply crazy. Even if they are given money, they will be scared.

The Luo family now has a great reputation in Hong Kong, even greater than the Li family. Luo Qihong is somewhat worried that the thief king Zhang Ziqiang will target his family, as well as Luo Zegui and others.

So he called one by one and asked women like Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin to leave the country to avoid the limelight.

As for Bai Jinyan and her son, Luo Qihong strengthened their security and applied to the Hong Kong government for the right to carry guns. The two elders, Luo Zegui and Lin Ya, also strengthened their security.

He called his eldest brother Luo Qixing and his family to remind them of this matter.

Of course, Zhang Ziqiang is a smart man and he would not kidnap Luo Qixing's family. After all, there is a layer of relationship between him and Luo Qihong, and he may not be willing to redeem the ginseng for a high price.

Therefore, Luo Qihong believed that it was more likely that Zhang Ziqiang kidnapped the eldest son of the Li family, just like in his previous life. If that didn't work, he would kidnap Guo Bingxiang, the head of Sun Hung Kai Properties.

Wednesday, September 3th.

Luo Qihong's convoy went to Tuen Mun River Terminal to inspect the construction progress there.

Suddenly, the bodyguard leader Ajun's intercom reported, "Brother Jun, there's a car following us. It's been 17 minutes. It doesn't look like it's on the way."

"Boss" Ah Jun quickly reported to Luo Qihong, who was in the same car and naturally heard it, and responded, "Are you sure?"

Ajun immediately asked his men back and got a positive answer.

"Notify the police, we will change our itinerary and head to a nearby town, and we must be quick." Luo Qihong was also frightened, but his years of business experience enabled him to think rationally.

"Yes!" Ajun immediately began to give orders and asked the convoy to prepare for battle.

Luo Qihong has raised them for so many years, it's time for him to give something in return.

After arriving at the town, the other party realized something was wrong and evacuated first, leaving the police team empty-handed.

"Huh! You are so bold that you actually want to attack me." Luo Qihong was shocked and then became furious. He was not Li Jiacheng, who was willing to choose to keep things peaceful.

"Boss, do you want to call the Governor of Hong Kong?" Ajun suggested.

"Since you like to play so much, use me to play with you to your heart's content. Notify my wife and ask her to take the children and the elderly abroad to avoid the limelight." Luo Qihong decided to have some fun with Zhang Ziqiang to let him know that the Luo family is not easy to mess with.
