Hong Kong variety show: Building a century-old family, starting with Hung Hing

What I'm more concerned about is how to use you to restrain him, create a situation of 'brotherly discord,' and make him more cautious in family affairs.

Lin Luoqi said, "Tiansheng, you're right. However, what I'm worried about now is..."

The plan to acquire the Kidd Building in Sheung Wan is unlikely to significantly boost Kidd Properties' share price, even with just this one building.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng proposed a bold plan: "Rocky, I have an idea."

We could acquire and manipulate the market value of a reasonably priced commercial building, thereby increasing Kidd Land's market capitalization.

I'll give you two choices: Wing On Plaza in Tsim Sha Tsui East and Kerry Centre in Central.

Wing On Plaza is in the heart of the Tsim Sha Tsui East business district, a superb location, but it requires a lot of capital;

The Jili Building can be acquired floor by floor, which reduces financial pressure. You should weigh the pros and cons yourself; I don't intend to get too deeply involved in your business.

After hearing this, Lin Luoqi looked troubled: "Tiansheng, both of these plans are quite risky."

However, it does present an opportunity to boost the stock price. I need to go back and think about it carefully.

Jiang Tiansheng nodded: "Okay, Rocky, think it over carefully."

After Lin Luoqi left, Jiang Tiansheng couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for needing a lot of funds to boost the stock price, I really wouldn't want to get entangled with the Lin brothers."

Just then, Jiang Tiansheng's phone rang. It was Zhao Shizeng from Huaguang Real Estate Company calling.

"Mr. Jiang, the sales contract for the Huawei Building needs to be signed within half a month, so you need to prepare the funds."

Zhao Shizeng said on the phone.

Jiang Tiansheng replied: "Okay, Mr. Zhao, I understand, and I will prepare the funds on time."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tiansheng realized that his business strategy had reached a critical stage, and the power struggle with the Lin brothers was becoming increasingly complex.

Looking at the mountain of documents in front of him, what troubled him most was the remaining payment of 1.1 million yuan for the Huahui Building.

He has already mortgaged the Shifeng Building and the Huawei Building, but there is still a funding gap of 3000 million yuan.

"Mr. Jiang, if we can't raise the money soon, we'll have a hard time explaining it to the other party," Assistant Li said anxiously from the side.

Jiang Tiansheng rubbed his temples. "I know. Keep thinking of ways to get some more funds from other channels."

Have the financial statements from the Paramount Restaurant Company been released yet?

"It's out. Based on the current profit trend, the future profits are indeed very considerable." Xiao Li handed over the report.

Jiang Tiansheng looked at the report and nodded, "This is the source of our confidence to persevere."

Tell everyone to hang in there a little longer. Once the Paramount Restaurant Company's profits pick up, everything will be alright.

Meanwhile, Jiang Tiansheng and Lin Luoxun are engaged in a fierce bidding war over the acquisition of the Kunbao Building.

Haofeng Real Estate Company had just raised its prices, and upon learning this, Jiang Tiansheng immediately raised his offer to 3100 million yuan.

"Mr. Jiang, this price is already quite high. Wouldn't it be too risky to raise it further?" Assistant Xiao Wang reminded him.

"Adventure? This is the business world; without taking risks, where do opportunities come from?"

"I estimate Lin Luoxun's reserve price is between 3400 million and 3600 million yuan. We need to boldly raise our price in the early stages of the bidding to test his bottom line," Jiang Tiansheng said.

Lin Luoxun was also analyzing Jiang Tiansheng's bidding strategy.

"Jiang Tiansheng has come on strong this time. What do you think his bottom line will be?" Lin Luoxun asked his team members.

"In my opinion, his bottom line is probably around 3600 million yuan. We need to be careful when raising the price and not let him lead us by the nose."

"Otherwise, excessive bidding could lead to losses in the end," a senior consultant on the team analyzed.

“Yes, that makes sense. Don’t be too aggressive with each price increase; observe Jiang Tiansheng’s reaction.” Lin Luoxun nodded in agreement.

The two sides traded prices back and forth, and the bidding gradually reached a stalemate. Mr. Zhang, the homeowner, sat in the conference room, watching the two bidders keep raising their prices, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Hey you two, the price is rising way too slowly. I'm still waiting to sell this building," Zhang Sheng couldn't help but complain.

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said, "Zhang Sheng, doing business is all about stability. If the price is right, the transaction can last."

Lin Luoxun chimed in, "That's right, Mr. Zhang, you don't want to sell such a great building at a low price, do you?"

At noon, at the Mong Kok Zu Cai Restaurant, Jiang Tiansheng and Li Shixu, the deputy general manager of Weifu Parking Management Company, were negotiating the acquisition of a parking lot.

“Mr. Li, selling these four warehouse-style parking lots that we are currently renovating for a total price of 8 million yuan is already a very good deal,” Jiang Tiansheng said bluntly.

Li Shixu: "President Jiang, this price is not low. As you know, the parking lot market is highly competitive now, so I need to think about this price."

Jiang Tiansheng remained calm and said, "Mr. Li, to be honest, other buyers have already offered higher prices. I only spoke with you first because Weifu Company has always had a good reputation."

Li Shixu felt a pang of anxiety. He knew that the other buyers Jiang Tiansheng mentioned were most likely Vaillant Company, and he absolutely could not allow Vaillant Company to enter the Sham Shui Po market.

"Mr. Jiang, how about this, I'll offer 150 million yuan per piece, which is already a very sincere price."

Li Shixu made a new offer.

Jiang Tiansheng shook his head. "Mr. Li, your price is quite different from other buyers' prices."

"I think I still need to talk to the other buyers." As he spoke, Jiang Tiansheng made a move to get up.

"Mr. Jiang, don't rush." ​​Li Shixu quickly stopped Jiang Tiansheng. "180 million yuan each, this is really my limit."

Jiang Tiansheng sat down. "President Li, I also want to cooperate with Weifu Company, but the price..."

I still need to communicate with other buyers; after all, you can't do business by only looking at one company.

Li Shixu gritted his teeth. "185 million yuan each, Mr. Jiang. This is the highest price I can offer, and we need to sign the contract immediately."

Jiang Tiansheng was secretly pleased, but on the surface he remained calm. "President Li, such a big matter, I have to discuss it with my team."

Furthermore, I've communicated with Vaillant; I need to give them an explanation.

Li Shixu knew that Jiang Tiansheng was deliberately creating bidding wars to gain higher profits, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"President Jiang, you see, our Weifu Company has always been very sincere, and this cooperation will benefit both parties."

"Don't consider any other companies. 185 million yuan each, sign the contract immediately, how about it?" Li Shixu continued to persuade.

Jiang Tiansheng thought for a moment, "Mr. Li, how about this, I'll give you a definite answer, I'll give you a reply before tomorrow afternoon."

During this time, I will also clarify things with Vaillant.

Li Shixu had no choice but to agree, "Alright, Mr. Jiang, then we'll wait for your reply tomorrow."

After leaving the Mong Kok Zu Cai Restaurant, Jiang Tiansheng immediately turned his attention back to the acquisition of the Kun Bao Building.

The atmosphere was tense at the bidding site of the Kunbo Building in Sheung Wan. Jiang Tiansheng said to his assistant, "Raise the bid to 3450 million yuan."

The assistant's eyes widened in surprise. "Mr. Jiang, this is already very close to our designated danger zone. Would raising the price again......"

Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand, interrupting him: "It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

The Paramount Company is planning to sell itself, so the higher the price of the Kunbao Building is raised, the more room there is for the Paramount Company's stock price to rise.

As for the loan issue, that's a headache for future buyers. Our priority now is to secure this project.

At this moment, Lin Luoxun was inside Haofeng Real Estate Company, sitting around a conference table with his team members, discussing the bidding strategy for Kunbao Building.

"President Lin, Jiang Tiansheng has already raised the price to 3450 million yuan. Should we follow suit?" Lin Luoshi asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Luoxun said, "If we continue to raise the price, it might force Jiang Tiansheng to give up the acquisition."

But if we give up now, we won't be able to completely defeat him.

Lin Luoshi slammed his hand on the table and said excitedly, "What are you afraid of, President Lin? Let's raise the price boldly."

If Jiang Tiansheng dares to venture into dangerous areas, what are we afraid of! Maybe if we raise the price, he won't dare to play anymore.”

Lin Luoxun hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, raise the price to 3500 million yuan and see how long Jiang Tiansheng can hold out. However, everyone should also note that Jiang Tiansheng just signed a contract with Weifu Parking Management Company."

This could affect our profit margins for the Sham Shui Po warehouse project.

The team members nodded in agreement.

Jiang Tiansheng soon learned that Lin Luoxun had raised the price to 3500 million yuan. After thinking for a while, he said to his assistant, "Lin Luoxun is going all in. Let's wait and see, don't rush to raise the price."

.........

Time ticked by, and the two sides remained deadlocked. Finally, Jiang Tiansheng sighed and said to his assistant:

"Let's give up and accept the offer of 3540 million yuan. If we're greedy, we might end up with nothing."

Moreover, Lin Luoxun is a cautious person and wouldn't easily risk raising the price further.

After abandoning the acquisition of Kunbao Building, Jiang Tiansheng went straight to HSBC.

He approached the manager in charge of stock operations and said, "I want to sell all my shares in Henderson Land Development Company."

.........

The manager quickly checked the system and then said, "Mr. Jiang, if you sell all the shares of Hengji Zhaoye Real Estate Company you hold, you can recover 2072.7 million yuan."

Which account should I transfer the funds to?

"Transfer it to my company's bank account. Also, how's Hutchison Whampoa's stock price right now?" Jiang Tiansheng asked.

The manager operated the computer again and replied, "The current share price of Hutchison Whampoa is XX yuan."

Jiang Tiansheng turned to Zhang Taotao beside him and said, "Taotao, sell all the Hutchison Whampoa shares we hold and then raise the funds."

Gradually buy shares of Hong Kong Electric Company. Follow the plan, don't make mistakes.

“Yes, Mr. Jiang,” Zhang Taotao replied.

After dealing with the stock matters, Jiang Tiansheng thought of Jide Real Estate Company again.

He had previously revealed some information about Jide Real Estate Company in advance, hoping to boost its stock price.

He called over the employee in charge of the matter and asked, "How is the stock price of Kidd Properties right now?"

The employee replied, "Mr. Jiang, the stock price has indeed risen a bit, but it hasn't achieved the effect we expected."

However, it appears there is still room for further price increases.

Jiang Tiansheng nodded: "Keep an eye on it and report any developments immediately."

At the same time, Zhuojian Investment Company and Cheung Kong Holdings announced huge profits, which caused a sensation in the market.

As one of the shareholders of Cheung Kong Holdings, Jiang Tiansheng also made a considerable profit due to the surge in the company's stock price.
