Chapter 125 125 [Landowners will bundle and sell] (asking for first order)
"Is there any action by Yulang International Company?" Luo Qihong took a sip of soup and asked calmly.
In his opinion, Huang Yulang is just a clown. Even if he is involved in a lawsuit, Yulang International Company will not get any advantage.
Luo Qixing thought for a moment and responded, "Yulang International Company has sent a lawyer's letter to Shenbao Printing Company, asking us to compensate Yulang International Company for a loss of 1 million yuan, and published it in major newspapers Publish the apology letter."
Luo Qihong laughed and said, "Let them sue. I will ask a few reporters to help Yulang International Company publicize it tomorrow. Brother, you must cooperate well and tell us how Shengyun Printing was deceived. ”
Luo Qihong felt that once these things were published in the newspaper, many small companies would no longer dare to cooperate with Yulang International. Everyone would be afraid of being swallowed up by the company they had worked so hard to build.
As for those large printing companies, they may not worry about being annexed by Yulang International, but Luo Qihong believes that even large companies will be more cautious when cooperating with Yulang International, or directly improve their Yulang International's printing cost price.
"Okay, I understand." Luo Qixing nodded. Of course he understood what Luo Qihong's purpose was.
"Ah Hong, is it inappropriate for you to do this?" Luo Zegui asked with an extremely serious face.
The 'not appropriate' here refers to killing everyone. According to the Chinese, it is easy to suffer backlash.
Luo Qihong knew what Luo Zegui meant, so he told the content of the conversation between him and Huang Yulang some time ago, intending to show that even if he did not kill everyone, Huang Yulang would not give up. On the contrary, killing them all might make Huang Yulang restrain himself and achieve something. fear.
Hearing this, Luo Zegui thought for a while, and then persuaded, "You still have to leave room for action, even if the other person is a very vicious person, forcing someone to go to Liangshan is not a good idea."
Luo Qihong Nodding, he didn't think Luo Zegui's statement was corny, but he would still ask reporters to publish it in the newspaper, because Huang Yulang had already come to the door, and there was no possibility of not fighting. At the same time, this was also a way to win over his peers and isolate Huang Yulang.
On the morning of the third day, the news about Yulang International Company's use of harsh means to acquire printing companies came out as scheduled, which caused quite a stir. Perhaps it was because the citizens of Xiangjiang "love to eat melons".
Yulang International Company General Manager Office
Huang Yulang sat on the leather chair with a serious face. A group of people stood tremblingly in front of him. They should be company executives.
"Master, there are already three printing companies that want to terminate cooperation with us. The reasons they gave are all kinds of weird. Even 'son doesn't like our comics' can be used as a reason for not cooperating." A man with a comb The middle-scored young man said rather helplessly.
Most of the internal staff of Yulang International Company are Huang Yulang's apprentices, and all the core staff are apprentices. That's why Huang Yulang dared to take such a big step to acquire the printing company, and was not afraid that his peers would unite to deal with Yulang International.
Huang Yulang gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a bunch of wallflowers, it won't make a difference."
"Master, we need to find a printing company to take over the printing business immediately, otherwise we will stop publishing soon." Some obese female disciples said anxiously.
Huang Yulang frowned deeply, raised his head and said to the male apprentice in a plaid suit, "Is there any way to ensure the publication of the next comic?"
The man in the plaid suit shook his head, "It is difficult to find a replacement in a short time. Printing company, I need some time here."
Huang Yulang twitched his lips and said in a deep voice, "Let our own printing company print day and night, and finish the task of the next issue first, and then publish the next issue of comics. We must find a cooperative printing company as soon as possible. "
"Master, why don't we buy some new equipment and expand the printing company's business scale? Maybe this can solve the problem more effectively."
The man in the plaid suit retorted, "The equipment is easy to do, but what about the workers?"
"We can recruit high-paying jobs from other printing companies. I don't believe that no one will work for us if we have money." The middle-parted man said with some disdain.
"It's better to just buy the printing company at a high price. High-paid workers will only keep the printing company's costs high. It's better to pay it in one lump sum." The man in the plaid suit retorted sarcastically.
Huang Yulang was already irritable, and now his disciples were making noise again. He suddenly said coldly, "Why are you making noise? I asked you to come here to solve the problem, not to create problems for me."< br>
Huang Yulang calmed down and thought about it, looked at the financial manager and asked, "How much money is left in the company's account?"
"3.7 million yuan!" the financial manager replied.
Huang Yulang knew that if he bought new equipment to expand the scale, it would be too late to print. It was better to buy the printing company directly at a high price, so as not to delay the publication of the next comic issue.
"Ayuan, please let our own printing company work overtime first to produce the next issue of the comics. We can't stop the comics. I will figure out other things." Huang Yulang ordered the man in the plaid suit. .
"Okay! I will try my best to do a good job." A Yuan responded.
After everyone left the office, Huang Yulang violently twisted the newsprint on the table into a ball and smashed it to the floor.
Then he exhaled heavily, gritted his teeth and said to himself, "Luo Qihong, this street boy! I will settle the score with you after I get through the difficulties."
Luo Qihong, who was far away in the reception room of Sun Hung Kai Securities Company, sneezed and took a few seconds to recover.
"A Hong, is the air conditioner too cold? How about I turn down the air conditioner?" Bai Jinyan asked with great concern.
Luo Qihong nodded, "Then increase the temperature by 2 degrees. Maybe it's because I've been too busy recently and my physical fitness has dropped a bit."
Bai Jinyan immediately stood up and stood in the cabinet air conditioner. Find the remote control for temperature adjustment.
“Starting from the day before yesterday, Hongpu Chemical Company broke the news that the overseas consortium’s capital injection and the increase in market value to 600 million yuan were all false. The purpose was to violently increase the stock price and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. .”
"The boss of Hongpu Chemical Company has fled Xiangjiang. According to the current news, Hongpu Chemical's financial situation is very poor, its debts are very serious, and even its production equipment has been mortgaged." Bai Jinyan said with a heavy face. She felt Luo Qihong wanted to acquire this company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. After all, this was how Luo Qihong made his fortune.
Hearing this, Luo Qihong's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan". Even the production equipment has been mortgaged. The debt ratio will definitely not be low. If you are not careful, the acquisition may become a big burden.
When he wanted to give up, Bai Jinyan handed over a detailed document, "This is the current status document of Hongpu Chemical Company, and it contains very detailed records."
After reading the document carefully, Luo Qihong ignited new hope. Hongpu Chemical Company owned a large number of patents, but it did not meet the requirements of the Hong Kong government in terms of environmental protection. However, it would be a good idea if the factory was moved to other countries in Southeast Asia.
This batch of patents does not have any mortgage records. Even if the factory does not move, these patents can still be sold to chemical companies in other Southeast Asian countries.
Moreover, Hongpu Chemical has a batch of properties that were mortgaged at low prices in 1974. As long as they have the funds to pay off their debts, they can get back these already valuable properties.
In fact, what Luo Qihong values more is the Hongpu Chemical Company's listed company brand. If it is rescued, the profit earned will not be much less than that of the Century Building project.
"How low has the stock price of Hongpu Chemical Company fallen to now?" Luo Qihong asked, looking at the document.
"4 cents per share is still falling. According to my prediction, it can fall to 2 cents." Bai Jinyan has confirmed Luo Qihong's idea of acquiring Hongpu Chemical Company. Luo Qihong was silent for a while and asked, "If I acquire Hongpu Chemical Company and don't want to bear such a large debt, I will threaten the bank to treat the debt as bad debt on the grounds that the company will collapse and the bank will lose all its money, and I will only repay the debt." Do you think the bank will accept a tenth of the loan? ”
Bai Jinyan works in finance and is very clear about the bank's "three rules", so the opinions he gives should not be bad.
Bai Jinyan was shocked. She never expected that Luo Qihong had such a wonderful idea. If it succeeded, of course he could make a lot of money.
But banks are not that easy to deceive. If the bank really lets Hongpu Chemical Company go bankrupt, Luo Qihong will get nothing and may even lose some money.
The total share capital of Hongpu Chemical Company is 100 million shares. Even if it is reduced to 20 cents per share, Luo Qihong will need to spend 10 million yuan to acquire 49.9% of the shares.
"How much equity does the bank hold in Hongpu Chemical Company?" Luo Qihong asked thoughtfully.
Bai Jinyan carefully recalled it and calculated, "The original boss of Hongpu Chemical Company held 61% of the shares and mortgaged 10% of the shares to Bank of East Asia, 5% to Standard Chartered Bank, and 20% to HSBC. Bank He has 35% of the equity in his hand.”
Luo Qihong lowered his head and began to think. He must control Hongpu Chemical Company, but this acquisition can easily touch the 50% red line for full acquisition, and how to convince multiple banks. , this is the biggest problem.
"I found traces of the 'Landlords' Association' during my investigation. The boss of Hongpu Chemical Company is likely to cooperate with the Landowners' Association to speculate on the stock price." Bai Jinyan suddenly mentioned a new term , his face was quite solemn, it was obvious that the strength of this organization was not weak.
“Landlords Association?” Luo Qihong was puzzled. He didn’t know the existence of this organization.
So, Bai Jinyan began to tell some things about the Landlords Association.
This is an organization founded by professional securities brokers. They initially helped some wealthy people speculate on the stock prices of their companies, allowing them to take the opportunity to harvest investors' funds.
Nowadays, the landlord association has become very large. They will spontaneously speculate on the stocks of some companies and play the game of buying low and selling high. Many listed companies have fallen into their hands.
Luo Qihong shook his head, "No matter what they are, no one will be interested in Hongpu Chemical Company now, and there is no room for speculation."
Bai Jinyan nodded and said, "Yes, landlord We have abandoned Hongpu Chemical Company and will never look back.”
Parlem Company Office
Su Qishan has already investigated the situation of the business district around Jiadu Building, and also checked the situation of Jiadu Building again.
The flow of people and prosperity near Jiadu Building are not as good as those in the Prince Edward area, but there are 3 schools, a large number of industrial buildings, and a small number of office buildings nearby. The prosperity is much better than that of the industrial area.
For a while, Luo Qihongdun felt that there would be no big problem if Jiadu Building was sold again, but the sale price would not be too high and the profits earned might be smaller.
Then Su Qishan provided Luo Qihong with detailed information about Hongpu Chemical Company. Luo Qihong pretended to read it and asked Su Qishan to continue to pay attention to the situation of Hongpu Chemical Company and report to him at any time. .
An hour later, Luo Qihong met with Zhu Baiqi, the boss of Baiqi Real Estate Company, in the office.
It was a short, fat melon with a round face, wearing a suit with suspenders, and a beer belly like an 8-month pregnant woman.
"Hello! Zhu Sheng! This is the first time we meet, please give us your advice!" Luo Qihong greeted politely with a smile on his face, bent down to shake hands with Zhu Baiqi, his posture was very low.
"I have heard of Luo Sheng's name a long time ago. He has won two listed companies in just one year and is worth hundreds of millions. It is you who should give me more advice." Zhu Baiqi chuckled. He said with a smile and praised Luo Qihong vigorously.
"Zhu Sheng, you are serious! I'm just lucky. I can't compare with the achievements of you old-timers who work hard on the ground. If there is a storm, my ship may capsize." Luo Qihong defended modestly.
The two exchanged a few polite words and then got down to business.
"Kangsheng has already talked to me. Paramount Company is willing to pay 143 million yuan to acquire the Weiji Building under Pocky Real Estate. This price is indeed the highest among so many buyers, but I am not very satisfied. "My ideal price is 150 million yuan." Zhu Baiqi began to test Luo Qihong's base price.
Luo Qihong knew that Zhu Baiqi still underestimated him. Seeing that he could not open a gap with Kang Wenyi, he wondered if he could open it from him. He just felt that he was young and inexperienced.
Luo Qihong smiled and said, "Zhu Sheng, according to the current market price, the Weiji Building is worth about 133 million yuan. A 10% premium in the first half of the year is certainly no problem. But a few days ago, The Hong Kong government's announcement of the resumption of 488 hectares of land in Tin Shui Wai and the sale of the Murray Road car park in Central has had a great impact on Hua Xia Bank. Such a high premium is no longer allowed."
"If Zhu Sheng is really serious. To sell the Weiji Building for 150 million, it can only be said that Paramount Company has no relationship with this building. I must consider the interests of Paramount Company shareholders."
Zhu Baiqi thought carefully. After a while, he said, "What is Paramount Company's ideal price?"
"The 143 million yuan proposed by Manager Kang is the ideal price of Paramount Company. Zhu Sheng, a premium of 10 million is already very sincere. If it were a few months ago, there would be no problem with a premium of 20 million yuan for Paramount Company." ." Luo Qihong laughed and said, "The situation in the city is very strange. No one dares to say whether the 1973 crash will suddenly happen."
The two continued to push the price, and Luo Qihong finally bid 140 million. 5 million, and said there would be no further increase.
Zhu Baiqi didn't say anything. Instead, his secretary took out a piece of information from his briefcase and handed it to Luo Qihong.
Zhu Baiqi explained, "This information is a residential tenement building owned by Baiqi Real Estate. It has been 32 years old. I heard that Luo Sheng has the ability to turn decay into magic, so I wanted to turn this into a miraculous one." The tenement building was jointly sold to Paramount Company.”
“If Lawson is willing to acquire this residential tenement building, I am willing to sell Wei Kee Building to Paramount for NT$143 million. Door Company.”
It's a mere 2 million yuan less, but this tenement building requires 10 million yuan to purchase, which is not cost-effective in serious calculation.
This tenement house is located at No. 10 Ko Shan Road, Lo Lung Hang, Ho Man Tin. It is 10 storeys tall, covers an area of 8,700 square feet, and has a floor area of only 58,000 square feet.
It stands to reason that this piece of land is valuable. As long as it is demolished and rebuilt, a good profit can be made. Then why did Zhu Baiqi bundle the tenement building with the Weiji Building for sale?
"Zhu Sheng, are there any other problems with this tenement building?" Luo Qihong asked seriously.
Zhu Baiqi said, "The main reason is that this tenement building cannot be demolished for the time being, and I don't have much capital turnover, so I want to sell it at a high price."
Luo Qihong had doubts and felt that the problem was not that simple. There must be other reasons, but Zhu Baiqi was unwilling to say it.
Kang Wenyi glanced at Zhu Baiqi, walked up to Luo Qihong and whispered a few words in Luo Qihong's ear. Zhu Baiqi's expression suddenly changed.
After understanding the real reason, Luo Qihong pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Zhu Sheng is really interesting. Are you planning to test my ability?"
The real reason why Zhu Baiqi sold the Ho Man Tin Tenement House is that the Hong Kong government It is planned to build a highway in eastern Kowloon, which may pass through the tenement buildings. Then the tenement buildings will have to be demolished, but the compensation provided by the Hong Kong government will only be half.
Of course, the highway only occupies a part of the land for tenement buildings, but the area of tenement buildings is not large. After part of it is expropriated, the utilization rate of the remaining land will be discounted. Such losses may be very heavy.
