People who work in Guangzhou are definitely very familiar with Lin and Xi. In Guangzhou, it can be basically divided into three business centers, the most famous is Zhujiang New Town, followed by the Sports Center, and the other is Lin hexi. In fact, the development of Lin and West is the earliest. Guangzhou CITIC Plaza is still one of the tallest buildings in China and was once one of the landmarks of South China.
Next to CITIC Plaza, there is also a 45-storey Yew Chung Plaza and a Metropolitan Plaza, which forms the entire Lin and West commercial center. Many people who have worked in Guangzhou for many years certainly do not know that YCIS And Metropolitan Plaza are actually a boss, and he is Luo Zhuo, a billionaire in Hong Kong.
Yew Chung Plaza and Metropolitan Plaza are also well-known office buildings in Guangzhou, with a total market capitalization of 7.8 billion yuan. However, Luo Zhuo was not famous in the mainland and was rarely known. However, in Hong Kong, the name Luo Zhuo is almost unknown to everyone.
In fact, although mainland friends do not know Luo Zhuo, they must have heard of Hong Kong's regal nightclubs. This nightclub can be said to have been more popular than the heavens and the earth in Beijing. In the Hong Kong movies of the 80s and 90s, the frequency of the appearance of the rich and the rich was very high, and I remember watching Hong Kong movies when I was a child, and the rich and The Chinatown were the two most frequently mentioned nightclubs.
Luo Zhuo is the boss of the rich man. This legendary nightclub was once one of the representatives of Hong Kong's drunken nightlife, and also witnessed the ups and downs of Hong Kong over the years, but after 26 years of operation, the rich man finally closed its doors.
Luo Zhuo is actually a mainlander who began to work at the age of 12. At the age of 16, Luo Zhuo went to Hong Kong with his father. Luo Zhuo said that at that time, Hong Kong was very advanced, and there were places to study everywhere. Luo Zhuo worked hard and soon gained a foothold in Hong Kong. Luo Zhuo worked as a construction worker, as a mechanical worker, and although his life was difficult, he did not give up.
Later, Luo Zhuo got married, and after three years of hard work, Luo Zhuo saved some money, which he used to buy a small store in Hong Kong with his wife, which became a key step in Luo Zhuo's life.
Luo Zhuo first opened a small massage shop with this small shop, and later Luo Zhuo upgraded the massage shop to a small nightclub. After years of hard work, Luo Zhuo finally saved a lot of money. In 1984, Luo Zhuo bought a shop on several floors in Hong Kong and then invested in the Regal Nightclub.
At that time, Luo Zhuo attracted former stock exchange chairman Li Fuzhao, Chen Xiangtao, former chairman of Everbright Group Wang Guangying and other rich people to join the shares, and these big figures attended when they opened. After the opening of the rich, it became a concentration of the city's magnates.
In order to create a sense of honor, Luo Zhuo spent 90 million to renovate at that time, to know that this is 1984, when 90 million is equivalent to at least billions today.
Of course, such a large amount of money is also a huge return. At its peak, there were more than 1,300 waiters, including university students, international students, models, and more. Many rich people often spend thousands of dollars for these beautiful women.
Luo Zhuo also bought a Rolls-Royce classic car at that time, and customers who chartered a VIP room could enjoy the service of taking a Rolls-Royce from the door to the VIP room.
The Hong Kong movie "Golden Rooster" tells the life of a gold medal dancer, which once caused a huge sensation, and here it once talked about the rich man. In fact, nightclubs used to be a culture in Hong Kong. However, with the development of the economy and the advent of the Internet era, young people no longer like such things, and instead of the rise of The Lan Kwai Fong bar in Hong Kong.
In 2012, the rich man officially closed his business, and on the last night before closing, a large number of old customers and people who had worked here poured in to take photos. Then the rich man eventually closed his door, but Luo Zhuo, who had been operating the rich man for 26 years, also made a lot of money. Luo Zhuo is also a very business-minded person.
After the closure of the rich, Luo Zhuo made hundreds of millions of dollars by relying on property. Today, Luo Zhuo has transformed the Regal Nightclub into a luxury shopping mall in Hong Kong, where he can live a comfortable life by collecting rent every year. When the business of the rich and powerful was not good, Luo Zhuo came to the mainland to invest in real estate and built two skyscrapers in Guangzhou. In 2017, Luo Zhuo bought another 1.4 billion yuan of land at Guangzhou South Railway Station, which shows that Luo Zhuo's strength is very strong.
Luo Zhuo relied on the business of the rich and the rich, in addition to making money, he also accumulated a lot of contacts. There was once a Hong Kong media saying that Luo Zhuo had no money, and Luo Zhuo bought a Bentley for his son in a huff. Luo Zhuo is a typical invisible rich man.
