Huayu since 1980

Chapter 404 The hero Liu Luanxiong ([-] daily updates, please subscribe~)

Wu Jianye originally thought that he could wait until the stock market crash started, but Liu Luanxiong found himself through Yanwen.

"It's been a long time since we saw each other, but Wu Sheng still looks the same!" Liu Luanxiong laughed and said after seeing Wu Jianye.

The two met before in Zheng Yutong's poker game, but at that time, Liu Luanxiong was not at the table.

"Liu Sheng has been in the limelight in Xiangjiang for the past two years." Wu Jianye also laughed and shook hands with Liu Luanxiong with a smile.

After the two of them sat down, Wu Jianye smiled and asked, "If you have nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Liu Sheng must have something to do here this time, right?"

Liu Luanxiong said with a smile: "Nothing can be hidden from Wu Sheng's thoughts. This time Liu came here because he has a business and wants to talk to Wu Sheng."

Wu Jianye made a gesture of invitation.

Liu Luanxiong said with a smile: "I heard that Wu Sheng has always been very interested in Landmark's equity, and Liu happens to have a part of Landmark's stock in his hand. I want to ask Wu Sheng if he is interested in taking over!"

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback, he really didn't expect that Liu Luanxiong came here for the shares of Hongkong Land, and it was not an acquisition, but a sale.

"As far as I know, Liu Sheng seems to be very interested in land acquisition!" Wu Jianye said.

Liu Luanxiong laughed, "Hong Kong Land's plate is too big, and we Chinese Real Estate can't hold it!"

Wu Jianye was a little surprised. According to the information he got, Liu Luanxiong had indeed met Simon Keswick, which also showed that Liu Luanxiong must have thought about the situation. According to Liu Luanxiong's temperament, even if he was rejected by Simon Keswick , shouldn't give up so easily?
In fact, there are still some secrets in it, which are not known by Wu Jianye.

Liu Luanxiong was just a little-known manufacturer of ceiling fans in his early years.

When he was young, he went to Canada to study. After returning to Hong Kong, he joined the family-run You Lian Yue Kee Ceiling Fan Factory. He was dissatisfied with the family's conservative style and was excluded day by day.

Later, he set up his own business with HK$[-] and opened a small factory with his younger brother Liu Luanhong in Wong Chuk Hang, Aberdeen, Xiangjiang.

In 1978, Liu Luanxiong and Liang Yingwei cooperated to establish Amergo Industrial Co., Ltd., and the founder was also his later wife Bao Yongqin.

At that time, Amergo's main business was the production of ceiling fans.The ceiling fan industry is already a sunset industry, and most of them are sold to backward countries. In the late 20s, when the oil crisis broke out in the Middle East, all countries needed to save energy. They found that ceiling fans can promote the convection circulation of heating and cooling, and save energy consumption in winter and summer. Coupled with the rise of the nostalgic trend at that time, classical decoration was popular for a while.

With the support of a US-funded bank, Amergo's ceiling fan production business is booming. Within two years, the factory building in Wong Chuk Hang is no longer sufficient, so it hastened the purchase of a three-story factory building of nearly 10 square feet in Kwai Chung.Later, Amergo's business expanded from ceiling fans to lighting, electronic insect zappers and fire and water heaters.

In 1983, Amergo Industrial was listed in Hong Kong, and its asset value has increased from a few hundred thousand yuan at the time of its establishment to 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

In 1983 and 1984, Liu Luanxiong began to set foot in the financial market.He took advantage of the fan business to invest in American debt, especially "junk debt".

Liu Luanxiong is in Xiangjiang, and through communication tools, he often buys and sells across the ocean without closing his eyes for 24 hours.The experience during this period not only accumulated valuable practical experience for Liu, but also accumulated considerable wealth.At that time, most of Amygo's daily business fell on his wife Bao Yongqin and his younger brother Liu Luanhong.

Later, Liu Luanxiong and Liang Yingwei had conflicts. With the help of financial skills, Liu Luanxiong squeezed Liang Yingwei away and completely controlled Amygao.

From then on, Liu Luanxiong started his own crusade in the stock market, and took advantage of the opportunity of the two families of Feng and Li to attack Chinese real estate, and finally succeeded in the first battle.

In 1987, Liu acquired the shell company of Lailong through Zhonghua Entertainment, renamed it "Zhonghua Strategy" (later renamed "Ruifu"), was responsible for securities investment, and soon succeeded in obtaining control of Baohua Construction.So far, the number of listed companies controlled by Liu Luanxiong has increased to five, forming a series of its own.

Later, Liu Luanxiong even used the killer copper of "serial rights issue", which caused his business kingdom to expand rapidly.In just a few years from 1985 to 1989, the total market capitalization of the Amygao Department increased sharply from HK$4 million to HK$58 billion, ranking among the top [-] chaebols in the Hong Kong stock market.

The acquisition of Huazhi can be said to be the key to establishing Liu Luanxiong's reputation and status today.Shortly thereafter, he successively challenged Li Zhaoji, the real estate tycoon of Xiangjiang, and Wang Kadoorie of Xiangjiang Electric, and attacked two large listed companies, China Gas and Xiangjiang Hotel, which disturbed the famous family of Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang Public Opinion once commented on Liu Luanxiong, thinking that "he is in the stock market, in the shopping mall... He is extremely dexterous in his movements, and his moves are ruthless and steady. In the past generation, there are few people who can match it, and even the rich and powerful predecessors who conquered the country, with their courage, resourcefulness and drive, probably have to admit that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."

As for the fact that Liu Luanxiong had an idea about the land that was circulated in the market before, it is actually impossible to say that Liu Luanxiong had no idea about the land, otherwise he would not have gone to Simon Keswick to discuss this matter in person. But the most important thing among them is actually Liu Luanxiong's idea of ​​using the rights issue of Chinese Land to raise funds, crowding out his last opponent in Chinese Land!
Wei Li, who is known as the company's doctor in Xiangjiang, has [-]% of the shares held by Asia Securities among the shareholders of China Real Estate, and is Liu Luanxiong's biggest opponent.

And the plan of Huaren Real Estate to raise funds through the rights issue and acquire Hongkong Land is a conspiracy posed to Wei Li.

Either Wei Li participates in the rights issue to raise funds. In this case, Wei Li will not be able to obtain more shares of China Real Estate, which is of no benefit to him, or he will withdraw from China Real Estate.

Now Wei Li has decided to withdraw from Huaren Real Estate, and Liu Luanxiong also clearly knows that he will not be able to get land, so he is preparing to sell his shares in China Land.

"According to the relationship between Liu Sheng and Zheng Sheng, you should go to Zheng Sheng, why would you think of coming to my side?" Wu Jianye asked.

Zheng Yutong has always been Liu Luanxiong's senior, and he has always taken good care of him. Now that Zheng Yutong, Li Chaoren and others are also eyeing each other, it is more reasonable for Liu Luanxiong to ask Zheng Yutong.

Liu Luanxiong smiled indifferently: "Of course I'm going to Zheng Weng's side, but for selling things, the asking price is naturally higher than the three. If Wu Sheng's price is more reasonable, I have no reason to let myself earn less. !"

"Haha, Liu Sheng really is a quick talker!" Wu Jianye laughed, is this the hero he knows!

"I don't know what price Liu Sheng plans to sell his shares in Landmark?"

"The current stock price of Hongkong Land is HK$11.98 per share. If Wu Sheng is interested, the price of HK$17 per share will be enough!" Liu Luanxiong said.

Wu Jianye smiled slightly. This price happened to be the purchase price proposed by Li Chaoren and others to Hongkong Land before.

"I don't know how many shares Liu Sheng holds in Landmark?"

Liu Luanxiong said: "1.29% of Hongkong Land shares!"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "17 Hong Kong dollars is too high. I quoted 15 Hong Kong dollars to Jardine before. If Liu Sheng really wants to sell, it will be 16 Hong Kong dollars per share, and this price will only be maintained for three days, beyond this number of days. , the price will drop!"

Liu Luanxiong was shocked by Wu Jianye's talk!
"What does Wu Sheng mean?"

Wu Jianye smiled: "You don't need to ask, I won't say it, it's still the same sentence just now, 16 Hong Kong dollars, only for three days, after three days, this price is not acceptable!"

Liu Luanxiong's expansion was too fast, and his foundation was not as deep as that of Wu Jianye or those traditional rich men in Xiangjiang. Therefore, when the stock market crash came in 87, Liu Luanxiong was also greatly affected. At that time, Liu Luanxiong wanted to make up for himself The loss, must be to sell shares to cash out, to make up for their own losses, and at that time the price of 16 Hong Kong dollars was no longer possible.

As for why Wu Jianye would rather spend more money to buy the shares in Liu Luanxiong's hands now, there are actually two reasons.

One is that Yu Zhi Investment does not have many shares in Landmark at this time, so Wu Jianye needs to have more bargaining chips to negotiate with Jardine. Although the stock price of Hong Kong Land has also declined, it is still a relatively strong stock in the Hong Kong stock market. It can only be said that the resistance to acquisitions is smoother than before the stock market crash.

Second, Wu Jianye also needs to have his own contacts in Xiangjiang. Although Liu Luanxiong's business reputation in Xiangjiang is not good, one advantage of this person is that he is more particular about his own people and has the loyalty of an older generation of businessmen. He is also one of the first Xiangjiang businessmen to enter the domestic real estate industry.

Liu Luanxiong began to waver in his heart, Wu Jianye's attitude was too calm, he didn't know where Wu Jianye's confidence came from.

It is impossible for Liu Luanxiong to think of the stock market crash.

But he thought of Huang Tingfang.

Rumor has it that Wong Ting Fong had already flown to London to meet Henry Keswick, the mastermind behind Jardine Matheson, and offered to buy Hong Kong Land shares at a price of HK$16 per share!
Could it be that Wu Jianye has already acquired Huang Tingfang's shares in Landmark, or has he contacted Huang Tingfang, and the two parties have reached an alliance?
Liu Luanxiong fell silent.

Wu Jianye didn't urge him either, and waited for him to make his own decision.

After a long time, Liu Luanxiong proposed another plan: "Wu Sheng, what if I exchange Hongkong Land at HK$16 per share for shares of Yaoguang Group at the same price?"

Wu Jianye laughed, Liu Luanxiong was indeed a hero.

However, Wu Jianye shook his head: "It's impossible. Yaoguang Group has no plans to go public, so I can't agree to this proposal. Only cash will be used, and nothing else will be accepted!"

Liu Luanxiong could only show a wry smile. The development of Yaoguang Group in Xiangjiang is obvious to all. It was able to intervene in the acquisition battle of Landmark without going public. Naturally, he wanted to become a shareholder of Yaoguang Group.

But now Wu Jianye regards Yaoguang Group as so important, he knows that he has no hope at all, unless Yaoguang Group goes public in the future, but is this possible?

After pondering for a while, Liu Luanxiong suddenly said: "I can sell Hongkong Land's shares to Wu Sheng at a price of HK$15.5!"

This time it was Wu Jianye's turn to be surprised. Before Liu Luanxiong proposed 17 Hong Kong dollars per share, he counter-offered 16 Hong Kong dollars, but now Liu Luanxiong took the initiative to lower the price by 0.5 Hong Kong dollars.

"What does Liu Sheng mean?"

Liu Luanxiong, who had already made a decision, suddenly showed a smile: "I hope to gain Wu Sheng's friendship. If I have any problems in the future, I ask Wu Sheng to help me!"

Liu Luanxiong is gambling!
Gambling on an uncertain future, Wu Jianye was too calm, and the achievements of Yaoguang Group have surprised many rich people in Xiangjiang. As the reasons have been raised many times, everyone wants to I know Yaoguang Group's hole card, but this is a huge mystery.

However, one thing is certain is that the strength of Yaoguang Group is extremely strong and the cash flow is abundant. Liu Luanxiong doesn't know what kind of confidence Wu Jianye showed just now, but the stock market changes rapidly every day, and Liu Luanxiong knows that his foundation is not stable. , if he can get a promise from Yaoguang Group or Wu Jianye, he will have more confidence.

Wu Jianye stretched out his hand, smiled and said to Liu Luanxiong, "Liu Sheng, happy cooperation!"

Liu Luanxiong shook hands with Wu Jianye with a complicated expression: "To be honest, Wu Sheng, I don't even know if my decision is correct!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I'll know soon!"

Although the two have reached an oral agreement, the documents involved in it cannot be completed in a day or two. Therefore, when the two parties signed the contract, Liu Luanxiong could already know whether his decision was correct or not. .

After sending Liu Luanxiong out of the office.

Yanwen said beside him: "This Liu Luanxiong is really a character!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Look at it, this is just the beginning, after that Liu Luanxiong is destined to become the number one important person in Xiangjiang!"

Yan Wen smiled and said: "Brother, I think you are quite optimistic about him!"

Wu Jianye: "Starting from scratch, it's not easy to get to this point. Awen, you have to remember that when you make friends with a person, don't be misled by his reputation. There are good and bad people, who is this?" It can’t be changed, the most important thing is that you need to know if this friend is plotting against you.”

"Of course, I'm not saying that you should have a heart-to-heart relationship with every friend. It's up to you to realize the degree!"

Yanwen nodded and said, "I see, bro."

"Well, well, let's just wait for Monday!" Wu Jianye said in a deep voice.

On the morning of Sunday, October 10, Finance Minister Baker announced on American TV: "If the Federal Republic of Germany does not lower interest rates, the United States will consider letting the dollar continue to fall."This is obviously bad news, and the impact is global, and it was first reflected in the Hong Kong stock market.

On October 10, the Hong Kong stock market opened before the U.S. stock market, and the Hang Seng Index plummeted -19% that day!

The 87 stock market crash that shocked the world has officially begun!
