Chapter 137 137 [This is a big acquisition case]
The next day, news spread on the market that "someone wants to take the risk to acquire the Paramount Restaurant Company, regardless of the large proportion of equity held by the major shareholder", which caused aroused some people's suspicions.
They don’t think anyone would dare to launch an acquisition like this. This is a typical action of ‘many people are stupid with money’.
However, the shares of Paramount Restaurant Company were absorbed by multiple accounts and the price continued to soar. They could not believe it, but investors still took a wait-and-see attitude.
The top floor of a commercial building in Kowloon City
There are many green plants here and they are full of vitality. It is obvious that someone takes care of them regularly.
There is furniture for entertaining guests in the grape trellis. Three men are sitting there, and the atmosphere is a bit strange.
The middle-aged and elderly people wearing Tang suits and skillfully operating tea sets are the owners here, Gao Shengquan, and the real helmsmen of the landlord association.
Next to them are Zhong Wei, a senior official of the landlord association, and Xie Jiyuan.
In comparison, Xie Jiyuan was sitting upright, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Maybe it’s because I can’t let go in front of my superiors and bosses.
"Director Xie, do you know what mistakes you made that led to the current situation?" Gao Shengquan glanced at Xie Jiyuan and brought a cup of tea to Zhong Wei and Xie Jiyuan. " No, it’s because you don’t know how to be a good person. Of course Luo Qihong is not afraid of challenges from others when he holds such a high shareholding. He should be very happy when we invest in Paramount Company’s stocks, instead of blocking us.” Gao Shengquan laughed and said, “You think you are successful. I have worked with Luo Qihong, and I think I am already Luo Qihong’s partner. I think I am very smart, and Luo Qihong depends on you to succeed.”
“I have studied Luo Qihong, and he is a very capable person. Otherwise, Luo Qihong would not have started from scratch in such a short period of time. Even if there was no landlord association in the Hongpu Real Estate Company project, Luo Qihong would have succeeded.”
"Speaking of which, I also made some mistakes. Maybe I shouldn't have given this project to you in the first place. Stop it and leave it to Manager Zhong. You can take charge of other small projects."
Xie Jiyuan He still wanted to fight for it, this was his chance to climb up, but a warning look from Zhong Wei stopped him from speaking.
After Xie Jiyuan left, Zhong Wei said, "Should we continue?"
"Let's continue, but stop for two days to give investors some illusions. In this way, Luo Qihong also It is more beneficial for us to support a tree alone." Gao Shengquan poured the tea on his own.
“I’m worried that the investment is too large without a big return, and we have many projects on hand now, so we simply can’t allocate so much funds.” Zhong Wei said with some worry.
"Manager Zhong, do you know the difference between us and those tycoons?" Gao Shengquan said, changing the topic.
“The difference from a tycoon?” Zhong Wei thought about what Gao Shengquan meant by this and said, “You mean we are their puppets?”
“To put it nicely, we are partners. "It's not nice to say that we are their dogs, but I don't want to be a dog, and we already have the ability to turn from darkness to light, so I want to acquire a listed company and break away from the landlord association," Gao Shengquan said.
Zhong Wei was a little surprised, and even more confused about what Gao Shengquan meant, so he was not in a hurry to talk and was worried about saying the wrong thing.
Although Gao Shengquan looked kind at this time, he was actually a tyrant, but he just didn't explode.
"I heard that Luo Qihong has united with Hongpu Real Estate Company to acquire a company called Best Real Estate. We can mobilize funds from other projects, do both, and make a good profit. Then we will have the funds to acquire new listed companies. "Yeah." Gao Shengquan pursed his lips and smiled, looking like an old fox.
“Then what type of listed companies should we acquire?” Zhong Wei asked, “And who will the future landlords give it to?” "We are dealing with real estate and finance." Gao Shengquan continued, "In terms of finance, we are not strong enough and can only work on the edge. The threshold of real estate is lower, which is suitable for us."
"As for the landlord association, I I haven’t thought about it yet, or I haven’t decided whether to destroy or escape intact.”
Destruction? !
Zhong Wei was immediately shocked. Although the Landlords Association was a puppet, they could make a lot of money, and most projects were guaranteed to make money without losing money because they were traders.
Now that he wanted to destroy this cornucopia, he didn't know why Gao Shengquan had such an idea.
Gao Shengquan saw through Zhong Wei's thoughts and said, "Do you want to take over the Landlord Club? If you take over, I might feel more at ease."
"Gao Sheng, you are so young and you are so young. Why do you want to quit when you are still young?" Zhong Wei asked.
"Zhong Wei, you are a smart man. Since it is a stain that cannot be seen in the light, do you think that when those tycoons retire after their success, they will allow the landlords to continue to exist?" Gao Shengquan is not afraid of his confession. Will scare Zhong Wei away, but he wants to use this to test Zhong Wei's ambition.
Zhong Wei knows very well what those tycoons who are shining brightly in front of the public are doing secretly. It can be said that the tycoons have developed by borrowing the public's money, and they do not have to pay it back.
If the public knew that the tycoons were playing tricks to raise the stock price and make money from them, then the tycoons would definitely become stinky shit. No one would allow themselves to fall into such a predicament.
When it comes to confidentiality, the dead are naturally more reliable than the living.
But money and silk are so attractive. Zhong Wei is not willing to let go of this sweet potato. Even if he becomes the next Gao Shengquan, he is willing to do it. And even though Gao Shengquan said it so nicely, he is also using him.
Things in your own hands are the best.
"Gao Sheng, don't worry. If I take over the landlord association, I will definitely develop well and try to break away from the control of those tycoons." What Zhong Wei said was very inspiring, but deep down in his heart, he just wanted to make a fortune and leave.
"Okay! When I step down, the landlord association will be handed over to you." Gao Shengquan smiled happily.
Luo Qihong, Li Yude, and Lin Luoqi didn't know that Best Real Estate Company had been targeted by two groups. Even if they could win, it would be the result of serious financial losses.
A private room at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central
Luo Qihong personally poured a glass of red wine for Li Fushu before sitting back down.
"Luo Sheng, I heard that your company is absorbing the shares of Paramount Company." Li Fushu wanted to ask why Luo Qihong insisted on speculating on the stock price of Paramount Company, and whether he wanted to make more money from the Chinese real estate company. .
Luo Qihong pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Has Li Sheng heard of the Landlords Association?" Seeing Li Fushu nodding, Luo Qihong continued to explain, "I have cooperated with the Landlords Association on the Hongpu Real Estate Company project. Maybe It's because of greed. The landlords want to continue to speculate on Paramount Company. They know that Paramount Company is about to be sold to Chinese Real Estate Company."
"I didn't agree, so. They want to take advantage of the opportunity to absorb stocks, and I just want to teach them a lesson to avoid doing it again in the future.”
In Li Fushu’s view, it is a good thing that landlords are willing to invest, and now the stock price of Paramount Company will be hyped up. , Chinese Real Estate Company will have to suffer some losses. Although the losses are not big, they still feel uncomfortable.
For this reason, Li Fushu is not so satisfied, but does not want to go into details, "The current market value of Paramount Company is 920 million yuan, and Luo Shengyou holds 49% of the shares (holding 50% of the shares will trigger a full acquisition), That is 450 million yuan. "
"The Chinese Real Estate Company plans to complete the payment in half a year, with the payment ratio being 30%, 30%, and 40%, with an interval of 3 months. "
Luo Qihong shook his head, "I am in urgent need of funds. I hope the time will be shortened to 3 months and the payment will be completed in January next year."
Luo Qihong plans to use the money to launch an acquisition, and of course he does not want it to be Plans were delayed.
"Luo Sheng, 450 million yuan is not a small amount. Three months is very tight. If you really need funds urgently, Bank of East Asia can give you a loan." Li Fushu directly solicited business for the bank. .
"I also have this idea. Since I can pay it off in half a year, I ask Chinese Real Estate Company to increase the down payment ratio to 40%, and Bank of East Asia needs to provide me with a loan of 700 million yuan." Luo Qihong suggested.
Li Fushu frowned slightly and said, "Can Luo Sheng explain the use of the 700 million yuan and how to repay it?"
"The use of the 600 million yuan is to carry out an acquisition. As for the Which company, Li Sheng will know in the future. Although this loan is large, I think Li Sheng knows my ability, and I will also use the equity of Zhaoan Real Estate Company as collateral," Luo Qihong said.
Li Fushu knew that Luo Qihong did not intend to use the acquisition proceeds of Paramount Company to repay the loan. An acquisition of more than 1 billion yuan was indeed very large, so he recalled some of Luo Qihong's experiences in his mind. He asked, "Does Luo Sheng want to acquire China Gas Company?"
"Haha!! Li Sheng is really awesome!" Luo Qihong knew that concealment was useless, so he might as well admit openly, "Yes, I plan to To acquire China Gas Company, a loan of 600 million yuan is needed.”
Li Fushu couldn't help but be shocked. Luo Qihong was only 24 years old, but he had the ability to acquire the China Gas Company. If he really grew up in the future, it might be a bit scary.
"It is not a problem for Luo Sheng to borrow 600 million yuan, but the collateral must be exchanged for the acquired equity of China Gas Company." Li Fushu said.
"Yes, can the interest be lower?" Luo Qihong took the opportunity to make a request. If the payment is not paid, no matter what the collateral is, these shares of China Gas Company will not be preserved.
"How about the interest rate of 8%?" Li Fushu gave a relatively low interest rate.
"OK! Let's have a happy cooperation then!" Luo Qihong clinked glasses with Li Fushu, with bright smiles on their faces.
He couldn't help but be excited at the thought of becoming the owner of the China Gas Company.
You must know that China Gas Company was one of the 20 largest blue chip stocks in Hong Kong in the 1990s. Although it was at the bottom, it was also one of the 20 largest chaebols.
"Is Luo Sheng planning to invest in the stock market, or looking for Hutchison Whampoa or Wheelock?" Li Fushu asked. His family has always had the habit of investing in talents, so he naturally wanted to invest in Luo Qihong. .
The former chief executive of HSBC Bank, Sang Da Shi, invested in Pao Yukang, allowing HSBC to defeat Standard Chartered Bank and become number 1 in the banking industry in Hong Kong. The current chief executive, Shen Bi, is investing in Li Jiacheng and has begun to show improvement.
Li Fushu naturally wanted to imitate the cat and imitate the tiger to see if he could make the Bank of East Asia rank higher in Hong Kong.
"It's most likely Wheelock. The shipping industry has reached its peak now, and Wheelock's shipping business is expanding rapidly. Even high-quality buildings in Central are being sold without hesitation. I think this is a good opportunity. ." Luo Qihong smiled lightly.
"Yes!" Li Fushu nodded, "I have some friendship with John Madden. If Luo Sheng needs it, I can help you connect."
Li Fushu is in charge of the China Gas Company I have been on the board of directors for many years, so I am familiar with John Madden, and Chinese Real Estate Company has also had a lot of cooperation with Wheelock Company. If Li Fushu can talk things over, things will be much easier to handle.
"Thank you, Li Sheng! With Li Sheng's help, it is more likely to get the equity." Luo Qihong said with a smile.
"The loan and Paramount Company matters will still take some time. I can help Luo Sheng make an appointment with John Madden first. This is a big project and the transaction cannot be completed at once." Li Fushu said.
"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Li Sheng." Luo Qihong raised his glass, gestured towards Li Fushu, and then drank the red wine in one gulp.
It was 9:30 when I returned to my home in Ulsan Garden in Mid-Levels District in the evening.
Luo Qihong smelled of alcohol, and his eyes showed exhaustion.
Seeing this, Lin Ya frowned and brought a glass of honey water, "There is no need to drink so much wine when socializing. You still have to take care of your body."
Previously with Lin Ya The conflict did not last long. After Luo Qihong did not come home for several days, Lin Ya began to lower her profile and asked Luo Qixing to call and talk to Luo Qihong. Then Luo Qihong moved back to Ulsan Garden.
Although the relationship has eased, there is still some gap between Lin Ya and Luo Qihong, but Lin Ya obviously can't care about it at this time.
Luo Qihong took the honey water and said with a smile, "This party is worth drinking no matter how much wine you drink. If we can achieve our goal, we will all have a place in Xiangjiang."
Lin Ya was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Luo Qihong meant by this.
Luo Qixing has been paying attention to the affairs of his younger brother's company. He seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Are you planning to acquire any big company?" Smart, "Brother, this is a secret! You will know it later."
Luo Qihong didn't want the news to leak before the matter started. It wasn't that he didn't trust Luo Qixing, but the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
"It's so strict that I won't even tell my family." Lin Ya replied.
Luo Qihong explained a few words and chatted with Luo Qixing for a while.
Luo Qixing also said something: "Yulang International Company recently acquired two printing companies at high prices. Since the liquidated damages with our company are so high, they have begun to grab our other businesses. Now Shengyun Printing’s business volume is decreasing.”
Luo Qihong thought for a while and asked, “Are they looking at our business or have all the printing companies’ businesses been robbed?”
