Chapter 97 097 [Litigation]
An office of Haofeng Real Estate Company
Lin Luoxun’s face was as gloomy as drops of water. There were some office tools, documents and a few personal belongings scattered on the ground. It was obvious that Lin Luoxun was there There has been a tantrum here.
Lin Luoshi sat aside, his face not very good, and he was still a little uneasy when facing Lin Luoxun's temper.
"The acquisition of Luo Qihong Kunbao Building was indeed Luo Qihong's plan. Otherwise, how could he have reached an agreement with Huaguang Real Estate Company so quickly." Lin Luoxun said through gritted teeth. He once again fell into the trap designed by Luo Qihong. , and stepped in willingly in the first place.
Lin Luoshi didn't want to admit the fact that they lost to Luo Qihong. Even if they lost, it was because of Luo Qihong's good luck. He was silent for a while and said, "Perhaps Luo Qihong happened to come across the sale of Warwick Building by Huaguang Real Estate Company." , They have had a deal with Sheung Wan's Shifeng Building before, and they can negotiate the matter quickly."
Hearing this, Lin Luoxun's expression softened slightly, thinking that there was still some luck involved, "You. Let’s check the financial situation of Paramount Company. Paramount Company was still on the verge of bankruptcy a few months ago. Now it has improved. It is impossible to have so much funds to acquire two commercial buildings. Now it must be riddled with debt. "
Lin Luoshi thought for a while and said, "We will definitely not be able to get the real evidence. Since we have doubts, there is no need to investigate. We can just buy a few newspapers, write a few comment articles, and put the stock price of Paramount Company. Pull it down."
Lin Luoxun thought for nearly a minute and responded, "Okay! Go ahead and do it. I think Luo Qihong must have raised funds to alleviate the debt situation by announcing the good news in such a big way. The purpose of our work can be more precise, which is to disrupt Huang Luo Qihong’s fund-raising and rights issue plan.”
“I want to cause big trouble for Luo Qihong this time. Once the fund-raising and rights issue cannot be completed, it will be very difficult for Paramount Company. Real expansion. Maybe Luo Qihong will consider selling the two Sheung Wan commercial buildings again," Lin Luoshi said with a sneer.
Although the Lin brothers' approach is very simple, it is very effective. Raising funds for rights issues relies on the company's impression in the minds of shareholders and their recognition of the company.
If the Lin brothers do this, it is still possible to succeed.
The next morning, several newspapers published speculative articles on the newsprint that Paramount Company did not really own the Peak Tower and Warwick Building. It seemed to be disparaging Paramount Company intentionally or unintentionally. They want to force Paramount Company to disclose financial information, otherwise it will be as they guessed.
Such comments have had a considerable impact on Paramount's stock price. Originally, the stock price was rising slowly, but now it is stuck at 3.7 yuan per share.
Luo Qihong threw the newsprint on the table. Of course, these reports will affect the subsequent fund-raising rights issue. If no measures are taken, it will be equivalent to acquiescing to the content written in the article.
But what he suspected on the newsprint was true. How could he argue?
After thinking deeply, he felt that the only way was to divert public attention, so he immediately arranged for Liang Botao to announce to the public that Hehong Real Estate Company spent 70 million yuan to acquire the Zhaoan Real Estate held by Paramount Company. 49.4% stake in the company.
Of course, the acquisition amount of 70 million yuan is only an external figure. In fact, Hehong Real Estate Company and Paramount Company have already signed an agreement. Hehong Real Estate Company only needs to pay 24.3% of it to Zhaoan Real Estate Company. The stock acquisition amount means that Luo Qihong needs to pay Paramount Company 35 million yuan.
At this time, Luo Qihong only had 21 million yuan in cash, so he still owed Paramount Company a balance of 15 million yuan (1 million had to be used for turnover). Including the 12 million yuan loan from the bank, Luo Qihong is about to be in debt of 27 million yuan.
On the afternoon of the third day, Luo Qihong asked Paramount Company to announce that a batch of shares of Cheung Kong Industrial Company and New World Development Company worth 22 million yuan held by the company had been sold, and 21.6923 million yuan was withdrawn. Yuan, the return rate is as high as 30%.
As soon as the two pieces of good news came out, the impact of the newsprint reports was completely eliminated, causing Paramount's stock price to rise to 4 yuan, and its market value was close to 350 million yuan.
Luo Qihong paid all the 25.6 million yuan owed by Paramount Company for its recent acquisition of Ludao Building in Wan Chai and the interest incurred to Santai Industrial Company. At this time, Paramount Company had 3 A capital of about 1 million yuan.
Small meeting room of Wanguo Baotong International Finance Company
There is a check on the small round table. The amount on it cannot be clearly seen, but there are many zeros behind it, so it should not be a small amount. .
“Luo Sheng wants Paramount Company to raise funds through rights issue?! Luo Sheng, you personally owe Paramount Company 15 million yuan and Wanguo Baotong Bank 12 million yuan. , the total amount is 27 million yuan, is there still money required to pay for the rights issue?" Liang Botao asked seriously, he was a little worried about Luo Qihong's private bankruptcy. Li Wendi glanced at Liang Botao and said, "Can the time for the major shareholders to pay the rights issue funds be delayed?"
"Liang Sheng, you should be very clear about the current financial situation of Paramount Company. If we don't take advantage of the news to raise funds and issue rights issues, it will be difficult for Paramount Company to get rid of its financial difficulties. I will raise this amount as soon as possible. "There is no need to worry about funds."
Liang Botao thought for a while and said, "I will give you 4 months at most, Luo Sheng, and Paramount Company cannot raise funds in the stock market during these 4 months." Action. "
"Okay! The plan for raising funds this time is to issue 5 shares for 1 share. At the current price of 4 yuan per share, I will raise nearly 70 million yuan and I need to pay 3,400 yuan. About ten thousand yuan," Luo Qihong said.
"Since Luo Sheng has decided, leave the other matters to me, and the finance company will handle it for you." Liang Botao responded.
Luo Qihong's pressure is increasing. Counting the 34 million yuan in rights issue funds that need to be paid, he is in debt of 61 million yuan.
The two discussed some details of the fund-raising and rights issue, and it was more than an hour later that Luo Qihong was willing to leave Wanguo Baotong Finance Company.
Luo Qihong still has 2 million yuan in funds on hand. Including investments in the stock market, the assets he can use are only about 9 million yuan (excluding the leverage of Gide Real Estate Company's stock investment). The debt owed varies widely.
So, Luo Qihong is considering using the 2 million yuan as capital to earn half of the debt. Of course, this is very difficult, after all, it will have to be doubled 15 times.
Back at home in North Point in the evening, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange. Luo Qihong felt that it seemed to be related to him, so he did not ask directly.
Luo Qixing hesitated for a long time, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "Ah Hong, there are some things at the company that I want to tell you."
Hearing this, Luo Qixing's heart dropped. It turned out to be something about the printing company, and It's not my own business.
"What's the matter?" Luo Qihong asked calmly.
Luo Qixing glanced at Luo Zegui again and said, "The company has received a lot of orders recently, including a company called Yulang International. This company's business volume is not low, and most of its products are comics, but There was a problem with the machine two days ago, and the printing quality was not good, which ruined this company's comics."
"Now this company wants us to compensate them for their losses. The amount of compensation is 1.36 million yuan. What kind of reputation is there? Our company is not worth 1.36 million yuan in damages. How can we afford compensation? ”
"Didn't those problematic comics get picked up because the quantity was too large?" Luo Qihong asked with a frown.
What we need to do now is to understand the whole process and some details.
Of course this compensation is not a big problem, but the compensation must be clear. It is not how much the other party wants, but it must be reasonable and compliant.
“It may be because of bad luck that I didn’t get any of them for random inspection.” Luo Qixing returned in frustration.
"Did the other party notify the company verbally? Or did it send a lawyer's letter?" Luo Qihong continued to ask, already having some guesses in his mind.
