Chapter 189 189 [Is it a rumor? 】
"Hello, Big Huangsheng and Little Huangsheng!" Luo Qihong was the first to say hello. In terms of strength, the Huang Tingfang family's strength was much higher than his.
"Haha! Hello, Luo Sheng!" Huang Tingwen took the initiative to hold Luo Qihong's right hand.
After shaking hands with his son Huang Zhixiang, the three of them took their seats one after another.
After moving his chopsticks and chatting for a few words, Luo Qihong began to get down to business, discussing the acquisition of Tung Cheong Building on Cotton Tree Drive, Admiralty.
"Huang Sheng, I heard that your company is planning to sell Tung Cheong Building in Central. I don't know what price you want to sell it at?"
"Haha! Do you plan to buy the whole building or part of it?" Huang Tingwen asked with a smile. road.
Luo Qihong put down his chopsticks, picked up the goblet, and said, "Of course it's the whole building, otherwise Huang Sheng wouldn't be allowed to come out to negotiate. But if the price is too expensive, it will be difficult for Zhao'an Real Estate Company to afford it."
Huang Tingfang knew that Luo Qihong’s hidden intention was not to raise the price randomly, otherwise the cooperation would only fail. “Don’t worry, just follow the current market price, which is 2,800 yuan per square foot. The floor of Dongchang Building The floor area is 247,000 square feet, and the price is NT$691.6 million. "
Luo Qihong laughed and said, "Huang Sheng, Dongchang Building is a new commercial building, so it is naturally worth the price. Today’s large commercial buildings in Central are priced at this price. Can they be cheaper?”
At Huang Tingfang's signal, Huang Zhixiang said, "Luo Sheng, the price of Dongchang Building can be cheaper, but we have a condition."
Luo Qihong realized that the Huang family and his son were not well-intentioned, so he still bit the bullet. Asked "What are the conditions?"
"Sinhe Real Estate Company intends to invest in Zhaoan Real Estate Company, which is also good for Zhaoan Real Estate Company. It does not need to bear too much debt and increases business risks." Huang Zhixiang smiled, Looked at Luo Qihong.
Luo Qihong thought to himself, 'It's really out of the blue. Issuing new shares to Sino Real Estate would be inviting wolves into the house, and Zhao'an Real Estate Company is not short of tens of millions of funds. ’
“We have to live up to Xiao Huangsheng’s good intentions. Zhaoan Real Estate Company already has a plan to resolve this amount, so Xiao Huangsheng doesn’t have to worry about it.” Luo Qihong declined politely.
Huang Tingfang did not force it, and said with a smile, "Well, cooperation cannot be forced. Sino Real Estate Company also wants to make Luo Sheng a friend, so let's give it 2,700 yuan per square foot, for a total price of 667 million Yuan.”
It was reduced by 100 yuan per square foot, which was 24.7 million yuan cheaper. Unfortunately, this was just a drop in price compared to the total price, and there was still a big gap with the price Luo Qihong wanted.
Luo Qihong glanced at Huang Tingfang and Huang Zhixiang, "2,500 yuan per square foot, priced at 618 million yuan, how about it?"
The price was directly affected by After cutting off nearly 50 million yuan, the Huangs and his son suddenly couldn't sit still.
"Luo Sheng, you are so sharp in bargaining like this." Huang Zhixiang couldn't help but sounded a little harsher.
Luo Qihong was not in a hurry to answer. He poured a cup of tea and said calmly, "It's a bargain. How can you know if it's possible if you don't talk about it?"
Negotiation has always been a process of constantly testing each other's bottom lines. No businessman can always Those who offer bottom-line prices at the beginning are all prices that fluctuate reasonably above and below the bottom-line price.
Huang Tingwen patted the back of Huang Zhixiang's hand, motioned Huang Zhixiang to calm down, and then said, "Luo Sheng, we are all real estate developers, so we won't give you false prices. It's 2,600 yuan per square foot. If that works, Let's make a deal."
Luo Qihong touched the cup on Huang Ting's table with a smile, "Happy cooperation, Dahuangsheng!"
2,600 yuan per square foot, total. The price is NT$642.2 million.
According to the calculations of the staff of Siu On Real Estate Company, Sino Real Estate Company's cost of Dongchang Building is about 450 million yuan, and the profit is at least 100 million yuan.
Actually, the selling price of Dongchang Building is not too high. After all, Siu On Real Estate Company can raise half of the money in one rights issue.
This price is the ideal price that Luo Qihong expected. If it were any lower, Huang and his son would naturally not agree.
Then the two parties discuss the payment ratio, method and other issues.
What Luo Qihong didn't expect was that Huang and his son were very familiar with the situation of Zhao'an Real Estate Company, which also made Luo Qihong feel a chill down his back.
It is conceivable that the father and son must have evil intentions towards Zhaoan Real Estate Company, otherwise how could they be so familiar with it.
Moreover, he stated his intentions so openly and openly. Luo Qihong suddenly realized that Huang and his son were not easy people to get along with.
One week later
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the streets are full of prosperous products. Even some high-end department stores are offering discounts to attract customers.
The fund-raising rights issue of Zhaoan Real Estate Company was successful, and a down payment of 300 million yuan was paid to Sino Real Estate Company, and a mortgage loan of 350 million yuan was obtained from HSBC Bank.
Luo Qihong did not rush to use the loan to pay Sino Real Estate, but bought a large number of shares of Jardine Matheson Company.
De'an Company Office
Luo Qihong read the submitted report and found that the share price of Star Ferry Company had already risen by 50%. The stocks held by De'an Company were also successfully sold, making a profit of tens of millions. Yuan.
At the same time, the share price of the Star Ferry Company was also reduced by 20%, which was somewhat different from what Luo Qihong expected and was not as low as expected.
Luo Qihong frowned. It was much more difficult to operate as planned, and the funds needed also increased.
The funds of De'an Company are naturally insufficient, so they must use private funds and even use the trading company's account funds. It is really a "whole-system action."
"Ah Hong, do you want to continue as planned?" Bai Jinyan asked softly and tentatively.
There is little point in continuing it now. It will mobilize a lot of funds but make little profit. It is an uneconomical project.
"Let's pause it first and let Li Zhaoji be proud for a while." Luo Qihong sighed helplessly.
“The share price of Zhaoan Real Estate Company has risen to 9 yuan, with a market value of 810 million yuan. It is estimated that it will exceed the 1 billion yuan mark before the Spring Festival and become the top 30 real estate companies in Hong Kong.” Bai Jinyan said Luo Qihong was upset and talked about some happy things.
"Yeah!" Luo Qihong nodded lightly, not paying much attention to what Bai Jinyan said. The skyrocketing market value of Zhao'an Real Estate Company was just as it should be, and there was nothing to be too happy about.
"How is the purchase of Jardine Matheson Company's shares?" Luo Qihong asked.
Bai Jinyan is a little confused about this move. Is it because of the Central Bus Terminal project proposed by the Hong Kong government? Ah Hong is so optimistic about Jardine Company?
“There are not many scattered shares of Jardine Matheson Company on the stock market. Although the current stock price is only 29 yuan, we have only bought about 6% so far, and we have lost 280 million yuan of funds.” Bai Jinyan couldn't help it anymore, "Why invest in Jardine Matheson shares? Is it because of the upcoming bid for the Central Bus Terminal?"
Luo Qihong shook his head, "No, continue the acquisition. If the funds are not enough, I can use my personal funds to acquire as many shares of Jardine Matheson as possible.”
Bai Jinyan naturally agreed. Luo Qihong's investments in the stock market have never failed, and he is still very authoritative.
"Do we need to continue to follow Li Zhaoji?"
Luo Qihong waved his hand, "No, Li Zhaoji is a cautious person. If he dares to do something like this, he should have prepared a countermeasure. We are now The goal is to use the 350 million yuan pledged for the Dongchang Building loan to fill the hole. "
"As for the Japanese stock market, I am planning to go to Japan after the Spring Festival. Someone is already taking care of other things. It is expected that I will be able to return to Xiangjiang in just one month." Bai Jinyan said.
Luo Qihong thought for a moment, 100 million Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount, and the Japanese company is newly built and needs trustworthy people to be in charge, and he is enough for Xiangjiang. "You can stay in Japan for a little longer, and I can spend some energy taking care of you here in Xiangjiang. It shouldn't be a problem."
Bai Jinyan is also afraid that Luo Qihong will seize power. She knows very well that Luo Qihong does not have suitable personnel to take her place, and she is also one of Luo Qihong's confidants, so there is no need to replace her.
As for Luo Qihong himself, his China Gas Company, Zhaoan Real Estate Company, and trading companies are enough to keep him busy, but how can he really take care of De'an Securities Investment Company.
January 19, Tuesday
There are market rumors that Li Jiacheng will acquire Jardine Matheson’s shares at a price of HK$36 per share through Cheung Kong Holdings.
On that day, the Hong Kong stock market rose sharply, with the Hang Seng Index soaring by 62.36 points. The stock prices of Jardine Matheson and Land Company were flying together. Among them, Jardine Matheson's stock price rose by HK$7, from 29 Yuan per share to HK$36, an increase of 24%.
In the morning of the next day, Luo Qihong was sitting at De'an Securities Investment Company and asked Bai Jinyan to sell Jardine Matheson shares as soon as the market opened.
He knows that such rumors are not groundless, but how cunning Li Jiacheng is. When the stocks held by Yangtze River Industrial Company are almost sold off, he will definitely hold a press conference as soon as possible to clarify the 'rumors'.
What he has to do is to sell all the shares of Jardine Matheson Company before the Yangtze River Industrial Company clarifies, and take the opportunity to make a fortune.
“There is news from the exchange that an unknown account is selling Jardine Matheson shares in a small amount, but the number of accounts is quite large, and the other party has sold about 2% of the stock.” Bai Jinyan The report said, "We have sold 1% and the remaining 6%. If there are no accidents, we should be able to complete the sales before the market closes tomorrow."
"Speed up, Cheung Kong Industries won't be able to hold on for long. No matter how slow they react, they will take action before getting off work today, otherwise the outside world will become suspicious." Luo Qihong said thoughtfully.
"Okay, then I will try to sell 4% to 5% of the stock before the market closes today." Bai Jinyan nodded and said.
If calculated based on a profit rate of 24%, Zhaoan Real Estate Company can make a profit of 78 million yuan on this investment project.
Although it is far from the amount to repay the mortgage loan, Zhaoan Real Estate Company can have another amount of start-up capital, which will play a big role in the subsequent investment plan.
However, this incident was slightly unexpected. Until 6 o'clock in the evening on the 19th, Cheung Kong Holdings did not issue a clarification announcement, seeming to have acquiesced in the acquisition.
The Jardine Matheson shares held by Zhaoan Real Estate Company only sold 4%, leaving 3%. However, the average price of the stocks sold that day was as high as 37 yuan, and the current profit has reached 50 million yuan.
"What does Yangtze River Industrial Company mean? The response is so slow." Bai Jinyan said in confusion.
"This proves that the news is not groundless. Yangtze River Industrial Company wants to use this illusion to increase the stock price." Luo Qihong pursed his lips and smiled and said, "What is the reaction of the Keswick family?"
"Because of Keswick The Ke family's investment focus has shifted to overseas, and they don't have much cash on hand. They are still raising funds and are only absorbing Jardine Matheson shares on a small scale," Bai Jinyan reported.
"The stock price of Jardine Matheson Company may exceed 40 yuan. I have to say that Li Jiacheng's feint was so powerful that it scared the Keswick family into hurriedly keeping Jardine He Company." Luo Qihong laughed.
The tycoon eats meat, and the Zhaoan Real Estate Company can just drink soup accordingly. He is not greedy.
"Then should we wait until the stock price exceeds 40 yuan before selling the remaining Jardine shares?" Bai Jinyan is also a greedy person, but he has forgotten the danger behind it.
Luo Qihong refused, "Even if it can break through 40 yuan, it will not last long. It is safer to sell them all tomorrow. There is no need to take risks for some profits."
Ulsan Garden Residence in Mid-Levels
As soon as he entered the house, Luo Qihong saw Zhang Kuisheng coming to the door again. The atmosphere of the conversation seemed not as harmonious as last time.
"Ah Hong is off work." Zhang Kuisheng greeted with a slight smile, a hint of embarrassment in his smile.
“I heard that your Siu On Real Estate Company is developing very well. It has acquired a commercial building worth 600 million in Central. It is really amazing. At the beginning, I said Ah Hong, you can definitely become a tycoon in Hong Kong. "
In response to Zhang Kuisheng's compliments, Luo Qihong kept a polite smile. He had long been immune to these words, after all, he didn't know how many times he had heard them.
"Uncle Zhang deserves the award, it's just good luck." Luo Qihong replied nonchalantly.
Soon, Luo Qihong heard clearly Zhang Kuisheng's intention to sell Fujia Newspaper Agency.
Obviously due to Zhang Kuisheng's poor management and fierce competition from peers, Fujia Newspaper's current liabilities are somewhat serious, accounting for 56% of total assets.
Zhang Kuisheng knew that he was unable to reverse the loss situation, so he decided to cash out and leave. The Luo family was his first and best choice.
“How much do you want to sell the 60% equity held by Uncle Zhang?” Luo Qihong typesetting said.
Luo Qihong doesn't know much about newspaper management. He has read magazines like "FHM" in his previous life, but he only remembers some of the pages. He doesn't remember many others, and he doesn't know how to arrange them. content.
However, he still wants to buy a newspaper so that the family business can be initially closed. This can improve the risk resistance of the family company and make it less easy to persist.
Luo Zegui and Luo Qixing were both slightly surprised. They never thought that Luo Qihong would want to acquire Fujia Newspaper Company. Does Ah Hong know how to run it?
Both father and son did not say anything to stop him, because they believed that Luo Qihong must have a reason for doing so, and they would not worry too much.
Over the past year or so, the Luo family has developed a dependence on Luo Qihong and has complete trust in Luo Qihong.
"How about 1 million?" Zhang Kuisheng raised a finger and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Luo Qihong looked at Luo Zegui and Luo Qixing and asked, "Dad, brother, what do you think?"
In fact, this is a symbolic inquiry, and it must be Luo Qihong himself who makes the decision.
"The price is not expensive anymore. You are shareholders of Fujia Newspaper, so you should know the situation of Fujia Newspaper. Although there are some troubles now, the sales of other magazines are not a big problem." Zhang Kuisheng Before Luo Zegui and Luo Qixing could speak, they seized the opportunity to interfere verbally.
Luo Qihong glared at Zhang Kuisheng and motioned for this guy to shut up.
At Luo Zegui's reminder, Luo Qixing began to tell what he knew about the operation of Fujia Newspaper.
In fact, the magazine sales of Fujia Newspaper Company have reached a low point. The current sales volume is only 40% of the peak period this year. The monthly profit can only cover the salaries of staff and the interest of banks and financial companies.
The situation of Fujia Newspaper Company is very critical. The 60% equity is not worth 1 million yuan at all, not even 500,000 yuan.
Luo Qihong smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Zhang, I think I need to read all the information about Fujia Newspaper Company and get a professional appraisal company involved before we can discuss the price."
Hearing this, Zhang Kuisheng panicked, "We are all acquaintances, and there is no need for me to keep hiding it from you. How about this, 60% equity of 500,000 yuan?"
Luo Qihong knew that Zhang Kuisheng was so panicked. There must be other problems with the price reduction, and the problems are not small, so he shook his head, "The maximum is 400,000 yuan. If Uncle Zhang thinks it's not worth it, we can wait for the evaluation report from the evaluation company to come out before discussing."
Zhang Kuisheng glanced at Luo Qihong, feeling a little unwilling, but wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible, "Okay, 400,000 is 400,000."
"Well, let's go to the lawyer's office to sign the contract tomorrow." Luo Qihong said.
However, after Zhang Kuisheng left, Luo Qihong immediately called the company's legal team and asked them to help check whether there was any problem with the 60% equity of Fujia Newspaper Company held by Zhang Kuisheng.
