The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 144 [Information in London]

weekend.

"Ha ha"

In the living room on the third floor, Lin Zhichao's hearty laughter came, which soon attracted Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying.

"What's so happy about it?" Xu Caiying held Lin Zhichao's arm, her voice full of attachment.

On the other side, Tang Caiyun, who had just given birth for ten days, was also sitting next to Lin Zhichao.Now she usually lives on the second floor, which is convenient for taking care of the children, including Wu Wenying; it is obviously unrealistic to entrust the two too young children to the nanny.

So now there are two nannies living on the second floor to assist Wu Wenying and Tang Caiyun in taking care of the children.As for Lin Zhichao, he has always been used to being a master. When the children like it, he just teases them, and most of them are doing their own things.

Seeing that the two women were attracted, Lin Zhichao immediately pointed to a piece of news and said, "One of the three big gangsters in Shanghai Beach——Huang Jinrong, sweeping the streets. This news is probably a sensation all over the world!"

In the picture, Huang Jinrong, in his 80s, was wearing a gown, bald, holding a big broom with both hands, and an empty garbage truck behind him, looking downcast.

No one would ever think that this is a person who once dominated Shanghetan and made people fearful; you know, even the head of the Jiang family has worshiped Jin Rong as his teacher.

Lin Zhichao will not judge a historical figure, but simply thinks that Huang Jinrong is not as smart as Du Yuesheng.It can be said that Du Yuesheng is the only one who is really smart among the three chief gangsters. He didn't learn from Zhang Xiaolin to be a traitor, he didn't stay in Shanghai, he didn't go to Taiwan, and he didn't get involved in right and wrong when he came to Hong Kong.

Du Yuesheng's children are also affected by his decision. At least 8 sons and 3 daughters are doing well.

Tang Caiyun watched the news and said, "You're quite old, and you won't live for a few years!"

Indeed, Huang Jinrong didn't leave the Shanghai stock market just because he was old and didn't want to live in a foreign land, and he didn't have any biological children.

Probably these reasons!

Lin Zhichao then said: "It's all for show. Recently, not many people have complained about Huang Jinrong's criminal evidence. The matter has caused a lot of trouble. Saying that Huang Jinrong is not killed is not enough to quell public anger. So this matter is to calm down the feelings of those who were hurt by him back then. Mood, and through this kind of public opinion propaganda, it can also reform and deter some criminals. If it is really sweeping the floor, I don’t think so, it’s more of a public relations, and Huang Jinrong at least saved his life.”

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "Exercise, sweeping the floor is also exercise!"

Tang Caiyun is very smart and was quickly persuaded by Lin Zhichao.

At this time, Xu Caiying said: "I don't know how our cousins ​​are doing?"

Lin Zhichao said meaningfully: "Sports!"

Xu Caiying asked curiously, "What sport?"

Lin Zhichao hooked the beauty's chin, and whispered in her ear: "If you are an entrepreneur's daughter like you."

"I do not want!"

Kennedy No. 18.

After seeing Jin Rong in the newspaper, Du Yuesheng couldn't help laughing: "If you listen to me, why should you be reduced to this point!"

Immediately, I felt a little lonely again, quite a bit like a dead dog.He slept in the apartment all day long, but the money he carried was consumed very quickly. This made him, who was once extremely wealthy, feel a bit bleak in his later years.

Fortunately, he understands a truth, you can't go to either side, if you go, you're participating in the Communist Party, and it will definitely be even more miserable.

Lin Zhichao and Xu Caiying set foot on the flight to London. This trip to London is not only a vacation with Xu Caiying, but also a market inspection.

In 1951, it was the centennial of the first World Expo, and it happened to be in the period after World War II when London hoped to completely get rid of the trauma of war, so the idea of ​​"British Festival" came into being.An exhibition called "Britain Can Make It" (Britain Can Make It) was held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.The main purpose of the exhibition is "to arouse manufacturers' interest in design, to arouse the public's interest in design" and to display British industrial products to foreign traders. Britain, talent and taste have not deserted England".

The scope of this exhibition is quite wide, covering almost all categories that British manufacturing can include, in addition to various consumer goods in the home and garden, there are also jewelry, fashion, personal decorations, clothing fabrics, toys, interior decoration , packaging, home entertainment, office and sports facilities, and nursery furniture and equipment.

Lin Zhichao, who is committed to the industry, would not miss such a grand event.

He not only inspected by himself, but also let his subordinates take turns to inspect, broaden their horizons, and plan for future development.

On the Imperial Airlines flight, Xu Caiying was very excited. This was her first time going abroad, let alone going on vacation with Lin Zhichao.

Seeing Xu Caiying's appearance, Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Ma'am, we need to go through a three-day long-distance flight, so you don't need to be so excited. I'm afraid that when you reach the sky above London, you have no energy. You just want to find a hotel to lie down."

Xu Caiying, on the other hand, was like an elf, and said lively: "I don't believe it! Besides, as long as I'm with you, it's fine to fly for a month." After finishing speaking, she tightly held Lin Zhichao's arm.

Lin Zhichao immediately felt very enjoyable, the attractive man really made people feel dizzy.

after one day.

"Husband, how long will it take for this flight to arrive in London, the PG hurts from sitting on it!"

"I'll rub it for you!"

"I hate it!"

Sure enough, it was Xu Caiying who protested in just one day.She was like a lark, moving all the time, and it was hard to sit still.

This is also good, adding a lot of fun to Lin Zhichao's boring voyage.

Afterwards, Lin Zhichao said: "Britain is experimenting with a commercial jet aircraft—the Comet. Once the commercial jet aircraft becomes a reality, the flight from Europe to Hong Kong may be cut in half."

Xu Caiying immediately said: "This invention is great, then it only takes one and a half days to go to Europe, and it will take about the same time to go to the United States?"

Lin Zhichao nodded, he still likes to show off his 'knowledge and talents' in front of women.

"Almost, in the future, it will take at most two days to complete the world's longest voyage, or even one day. It will be more convenient for us to travel abroad."

Xu Caiying's beautiful eyes are full of radiance, her dream is to go to many places, travel with the man she loves, and see the outside world.

"I just don't know, will I be old by that day!" Xu Caiying suddenly sighed.

Lin Zhichao nodded Xu Caiying's nose, and said with a smile: "You are only 19 years old, how can you say such a thing! Moreover, in ten years at the latest, you can achieve your goal - go skiing in Switzerland, go to the beach in the United States Have fun, go to England to live in a castle, go to Paris and Italy”

One travel list after another deceived Xu Caiying to get closer and closer, and finally fell into his arms completely, as if melting.

Located on the south bank of the River Thames in Lambeth, London, it was originally a symbol of the Victorian era—industrial buildings and railways criss-cross.However, during this period, it has become the main exhibition base of this grand event. The theme is "Britain's contribution to the past, present and future of human civilization in art, science, technology and industrial design", including architecture, industry, Six major sections including science, travel, and two other entertaining themes.

Lin Zhichao brought Xu Caiying to an exhibition hall, and immediately felt the heat of the exhibition.According to Willis, many residents of London lent their houses to tourists, and one can imagine how successful the British held this time.

In fact, this is not an international registered exhibition, but its influence is no less than a worldwide exhibition.

"What is this machine for?" Xu Caiying asked Lin Zhichao in a low voice.

She worried that because of her ignorance, she would give people the impression of a country bumpkin.

Lin Zhichao came to the side of the machine with a smile, took out a coin, and threw it into a hole, and then an empty cup was conveyed under the beverage machine, and the drink was automatically filled into the cup.

Picking up the cup, Lin Zhichao took a sip and handed it to Xu Caiying.

At this scene, Xu Caiying only felt incredible and took a sip of her drink.

"It's Coke!"

Lin Zhichao smiled.

Later, Lin Zhichao chatted with the staff, learned some in-depth questions, and kept them in his mind.Of course, although the automatic beverage machine has been invented in Britain, it seems that Japan in the late 50s really promoted its development.

Next, Lin Zhichao visited many exhibition halls, one day is definitely not enough, Lin Zhichao even felt that he himself had opened his eyes.Because he never imagined that Britain or Europe and the United States in the 50s were already so developed.

He carefully wrote down some useful information, recorded it at home, and took pictures with a camera on the spot, and went back to sort out the materials.

When he came to a toy booth, Lin Zhichao was immediately attracted by a toy. It was a small car, but he had power.

Rotate the handle on the side, then place the car on the display case, and start running immediately.

This is a very common toy in later generations, developed using clockwork and gears, but it caught Lin Zhichao's eyes.

"Sir, where are your friends?" An Englishman who looked like a manager or boss greeted Lin Zhichao.

Although there were many friends on the platform, he caught Lin Zhichao with a glance and approached him to strike up a conversation.

“From Hong Kong!”

"It turned out to be a friend from Hong Kong, please feel free to visit!"

Lin Zhichao took the initiative to talk: "My name is Lin, I don't know if you belong to this toy brand?"

The British stopped immediately, stretched out his hand and said, "My name is William, and I am the owner of this toy brand. I happened to be here today."

Later, Lin Zhichao asked William about the scale of his toy brand. Unexpectedly, this brand is quite large, with business all over Europe.

"Mr. William, assuming that one day I can produce such wind-up and gear toys, would you like to find me as an OEM?"

William was taken aback for a moment, feeling that the young man was paying such attention.

He immediately said: "We can produce it ourselves! Unless, you have a reason to convince me."

Lin Zhichao smiled and said, "Of course it's the cost."

Undoubtedly, this is also the most tempting place. As a boss, who doesn't want to control costs.

Sure enough, William handed Lin Zhichao a business card and said, "Lin, if you can manufacture a product of the same quality one day, you can come to me. You can take a few samples today, and I hope you will succeed."

In this way, Lin Zhichao got a few toys for free.

In fact, Lin Zhichao is still familiar with clockwork and gear toys, and uses the power of the unwinding of the steel coil to drive the gears to rotate and drive the toy forward.

But the problem now is that Hong Kong cannot import materials and new equipment, so if you want to make OEM toys or develop your own brand, you have to wait until the second half of 1953.

However, it is possible to carry out a technical research and development in the past two years, and when the time is ripe, it can be put into production soon.

Next, Lin Zhichao tried to get some push toys, and planned to go back and refer to them slowly.These toys have a characteristic, that is, plastic products.

Therefore, Changjiang Plastics derived Changjiang Toys, and there is a preliminary plan.

There are also some dolls, Lin Zhichao found that they are all made of soft rubber, and these dolls are replicas of "rag dolls" in the eyes of adults, and they are the images of some children.

This made Lin Zhichao also have a plan, that is to go back and ask Changjiang Plastic Factory to develop plastic dolls first, using two materials-soft glue and hard glue.When the time is ripe, set up studios in Europe and the United States or seek cooperation with others to develop a kind of "character image" in the eyes of children, that is, Barbie and Lily dolls.

A week later.

In the hotel, Lin Zhichao and Xu Caiying were eating.

"Caiying, I'm going to the Federal Republic of Germany the day after tomorrow, and you stay in London."

Xu Caiying was taken aback for a moment. Recently, she has had a lot of fun. Although her husband visited the exhibition for four days, it was still a kind of entertainment for her, which opened her eyes; Attractions, the two are even more romantic.

Now, the husband is about to leave her to go to the Federal Republic of Germany, so she immediately said coquettishly: "I have never been to the Federal Republic of Germany. You took your sister there, so I want to go too!"

Lin Zhichao said calmly: "Silly girl, go back and ask your sister what the mess is like over there. Last time your sister went with me, I was worried about leaving her in the hotel, but this time I am working. I am worried about taking you and giving others a bad impression. Be obedient, I am a female employee of a friend's company here, and she will be your tour guide and driver; you can also consider staying in the hotel with Qin Li, or going out on the street .”

He still brought two bodyguards with him when he went out this time, one male and one female, and they happened to be reserved for Xu Caiying.

As for whether he will go to Bourne Machinery, it is obviously impossible. Lin Zhichao is going on a secret date, after all, he finally came to London.

"Okay! Then I'll go shopping in downtown London and rest in the hotel. Thinking about the three-day flight, I just happened to catch up on extra sleep in the hotel!"

"Hmm. Did you have fun this time?"

When Xu Caiying heard Lin Zhichao's question, she immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said happily: "I'm so happy! When will the next time be?"

"I will take you to America next year!"

"yeah!"

Traveling is not only for relaxation, but also for researching local information and even understanding the economic trends of the whole world.

Back in the hotel room, Lin Zhichao found out the magic weapon - nylon stockings, and threw them to Xu Caiying.

Every time he comes to Europe, Lin Zhichao will always find a way to buy some nylon stockings and sexy underwear, and take them back to Hong Kong as a boudoir pleasure.

"You haven't digested the food in your stomach, and you want to do something bad?" Xu Caiying gave Lin Zhichao a reproachful expression.She knew how energetic her man was, and she also lamented that if Lin Zhichao had not had two wives, if he had only one, she would have cost her life.

"Exercise just promotes digestion! Besides, I will give you time to digest." Lin Zhichao said enthusiastically.

Xu Caiying is undoubtedly full of all the fantasies that men have about actresses, with an angel-like face, a devil-like figure, an elf-like spirituality, and a human-like behavior.

"I hate it! Look out, my husband!" Xu Caiying held the stockings, intending to seduce Lin Zhichao while wearing them.

Lin Zhichao is so well-informed, he immediately stopped: "No, no, that's not how you wear stockings. They have to be rolled up like this. Then, your legs have to be crossed. Eyes biting lips."

Xu Caiying was dumbfounded, how could this man understand women better than women.

Next, Lin Zhichao pointed out for 10 minutes just one action of wearing stockings.

Xu Caiying could only cooperate obediently.

Lin Zhichao took the opportunity to take a few photos. Of course, these photos did not reveal anything, because Xu Caiying was wearing a dress, and at most she acted a little sexually.

"Pretty!"

"Brother Zhichao, you don't want to develop these photos, do you?" Xu Caiying suddenly said shyly.

Lin Zhichao put down the camera and said, "I'm not mentally ill! Save the papers for handing in, and put them away at home. After two years, I'll buy my own equipment and wash them out."

"That's not bad! But you are not allowed to take random pictures!" Xu Caiying said coquettishly.

She knew that Lin Zhichao liked to take pictures, especially the streets and alleys of Hong Kong. In his words, these futures are history.

"Do not worry!"

After putting down the camera, Lin Zhichao squatted in front of Xu Caiying and raised a beautiful black silk leg, as if admiring a work of art.Although the nylon stockings of this era are not as thin and transparent as later generations, they are not much different.

Most importantly, be resilient!
Lin Zhichao finally broke out.

On the third day, the woman in Lin Zhichao's arms had turned into Audrey Hepburn.

"My career has changed a lot this year. I have starred in three movies. Are you happy for me?" Hepburn's palm drew circles on Lin Zhichao's chest.

She only felt that this body contained incredible energy, and she really didn't know why an Asian had such a strong body.

"Of course! I think within three years, you will become a famous movie star in Hollywood, and even stand on the podium for an Oscar-winning actress."

"Hee hee, you just like to coax people, tell me, have you lied to other girls?" Audrey Hepburn said suddenly.

"Of course not, the career is not successful, why settle down!"

Audrey blinked her big black eyes, believing Lin Zhichao's words for the time being.In fact, she already had doubts, but she did not choose to ask someone to inquire about Lin Zhichao's affairs in Hong Kong.

She is now concentrating on her career, and an occasional solace is enough.In fact, she has been limped by Lin Zhichao, thinking that she might become a Hollywood actor.
