The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

When Lin Zhichao and his wife returned to Hong Kong, they immediately felt the changes in Hong Kong's upper class. Everyone was shocked by Lin Zhichao's energy. He was only 28 years old and won the CBE award.He is not only the youngest 'Justice of the Peace', but also the youngest 'Commander Medal' recipient.

If it is said that Lin Zhichao is appreciated by the British, people in the Hong Kong circle will definitely scoff, because Lin Zhichao is not a child of an old Hong Kong family at all, nor is he a politician. How can he be appreciated by the British?

Everyone understands that Lin Zhichao gains respect by virtue of his strength.

May I ask the British who affect the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong, contribute to the economic development of many countries, and solve the living environment of Hong Kong people, will the British win them over?

However, Lin Zhichao also has a sense of crisis, that is, his family is not yet stable, and the eldest son is only over seven years old; this time taking the main wife to England is already considered an adventure, because Tang Caiyun is the biggest helper in his career.

He seldom takes Tang Caiyun abroad with him, because once something happens to him, Tang Caiyun can stabilize the family's real estate business, and the Lin family he brought down has no problem becoming a wealthy family.

But this time, it was to meet the British royal family, so it might not be appropriate to bring Xu Caiying, and she might be accused of being rude; so Tang Caiyun followed him to London and took the opportunity to play for two days.

this day.

Lin Zhichao brought the management of Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd. to the site of Miramar Hotel.

Pointing to the 8.8-square-foot site, he said, "On this site, I want to develop a commercial and hotel complex. A five-storey shopping center and a five-star hotel will be developed together!"

Everyone was puzzled, Huang Changhong said, "Boss, what's the difference between a shopping center and a department store?"

It turns out that shopping malls have not yet appeared in this era, but they should appear in the United States in the past two years.

Seeing everyone’s puzzled expressions, Lin Zhichao said with high spirits: “The difference between a shopping center and a department store center is that a shopping center leases shops to many brands. The first, second, and third floors are for clothing and jewelry, and the fourth and fifth floors are for restaurants, theaters, and entertainment facilities. As the management side, we make profits by collecting rent. As you all know, in a department store center, all brands are one owner. Moreover, shopping centers are characterized by self-collection, similar to our crocodile shirts; department stores rely more on clerks to obtain products. It’s different, the shopping center is a regional business model, and people in the vicinity come to our Miramar Shopping Center, and they can settle for basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation; while a department store is just a shopping place.”

Huang Changhong and others were amazed by Lin Zhichao's unconstrained ideas. In fact, Lin Zhichao just advanced the Miramar shopping mall in the 90s in his previous life by 40 years.

The earliest shopping mall in Hong Kong's previous life appeared in the mid-60s, which is the Ocean Terminal in Wharf.

Although the location of the Miramar Hotel is not top-notch, the shopping center already has its own traffic, which can attract the surrounding popularity.And once it is built, it will happen to be the development stage of Hong Kong's tourism industry. At that time, the popularity will be more vigorous, and it will also promote the reputation of the hotel.

After everyone digested it, Huang Changhong said again: "The commercial combination of a shopping center and a hotel requires comprehensive development of the two buildings. How to connect them will be the best design! It seems that finding a good design company is the key."

Cheung Kong has a construction company, but it does not mean that it has first-class architectural design capabilities, so it still has partners in this regard.The construction company and the Zeshi Building are two different units. Of course, the construction company will also design, but it does not have the "unconstrained style" and "creativity" of the designer.

However, the design of the shopping center is of course not difficult for Lin Zhichao. He has learned real estate knowledge over the years, including design drawings; coupled with the modern shopping center in his mind, it is naturally very easy to give a general idea and design.

Throw these ideas and designs to 'Zeshilou', and they can quickly become a reality.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "I already have some ideas about the commercial building integration of shopping malls and hotels, and I just want to share them with you today. We need to design a three-story podium to cover the entire building complex. Above the podium is a hotel building and a four- or five-story shopping mall connected to the podium shopping center. This is the case. There needs to be a connecting square in the middle, surrounded by one-story shops. wait up"

Speaking of the wonderful place, Lin Zhichao simply drew a sketch with a pen and paper.

The first floor of the hotel building can be 4 square feet, but the first to third floors do not need that much, because the shopping center is bigger.

If the hotel building is directly located on the five-story podium (above the shopping mall), it is obvious that there is a lack of a gate and a lobby, so that others will feel very bad.

Therefore, it may be enough to only need 2 square feet on the first to third floors of the hotel building, and give up the rest to the shopping mall.

Although this piece of land is only 8.8 square feet, it faces the street on all sides, so a large building floor can be built and there are enough passages.

After discussing for a while, Lin Zhichao decided to set up the project department of 'Miramar Shopping Center', together with Miramar Hotel, registered as a company.The project department will re-recruit real estate and hotel elites, and the management of Cheung Kong will play a supervisory and guiding role. In the future, the company will develop independently.

In this way, it will cost a lot of money to develop this project, and it may cost 4000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

After all, not to mention the high construction costs of shopping centers and hotels, decoration also requires a lot of money.Even for the four buildings in Central, the construction cost is probably a huge figure.

Sure enough, the development of commercial real estate is very expensive. In previous lives, Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji rarely developed rental properties when they first started to develop real estate.

However, Lin Zhichao will not worry about the lack of funds. Global Shipping and Yangtze River Industries are cash cows.

On the last day of 1956, a Rolls-Royce and three Ford bridge cars stopped at the gate of Conduit Dowling's house.

Then members of the Lin family came out one after another, ready to ride.

It turned out that today is the day when the Lin family will move. They will move to No. 79, Deep Water Bay, and live in a luxury house.

"Everyone is here, get in the car!"

Lin Zhichao gave an order, and members of the Lin family got into the car one after another.Lin Zhichao and his eldest son Lin Ruihuan sat in the back row of the Rolls-Royce. The second to fourth cars were Wu Wenying, Tang Caiyun, Xu Caiying and their children.

There are already 11 members of the Lin family, including the children in Lin Xiner and Tang Caiyun's womb, they can be regarded as a big family.Thinking back to the time when Lin Zhichao came to Hong Kong alone, he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"Ruihuan, do you know what it means to live in a big house?" Lin Zhichao suddenly said to his almost eight-year-old son.

His eldest son has been a "little adult" since he was a child, and his IQ is also very high, so he said this, otherwise he would really be playing the piano with a cow.

If Lin Ruihuan was an ordinary child, he would definitely say 'fun', 'comfortable stay', and 'big room', but he is not an ordinary child, and he knows that his father does not want those simple answers.

So, after thinking hard, he said, "It's unity. My father often said that we brothers and sisters should be united, so no matter whether the house we live in is big or small, we must be united, respect grandma, and listen to mother."

Lin Zhichao was taken aback for a moment. Although the answer was not what he wanted, it did make him feel refreshed.

So, he happily touched his eldest son's head and said, "Unity is right, and there is also a sense of responsibility. If such a large family does not have a sense of family responsibility, it will soon fall apart and become a joke."

Regarding the arrangements for his children, Lin Zhichao planned to finish three years of middle school, then arrange to study abroad in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, three years of high school and four years of university.

"Well, I remember what my father said!" Lin Ruihuan seemed to understand, but he felt that what his father said must be right.

Lin Zhichao nodded in satisfaction. After Lin Ruihuan went to middle school, he went to the company to attend meetings during the winter and summer vacations, and felt the difficulty of making money in advance.He will be promoted to middle school at the age of ten, and there are only two and a half years left.At this rate, he was only 20 years old after graduating from college.

Of course, for Lin Ruihuan, or for all his children, what Lin Zhichao wants is not their innovative thinking, but their conservative and steady abilities.

After all, the land he created was vast enough and rich enough.

In fact, Lin Zhichao understands that with his physical condition, he may be able to directly train his grandchildren, even his great-grandchildren.So the future of these sons and daughters is just that when their father is fighting on the battlefield, they will stay behind as the "supervisor of the country"; or, their father will send them to fight and test their abilities.

The convoy crossed Deep Water Bay Road and drove into a small private road at [-]:[-] in the morning, and then the security guard opened a large iron gate.

The iron gate is solid below 1.5 meters, and the iron fence is on the top. From the outside, one can tell at a glance that the courtyard is high and it is a rich family.

The convoy passed through the iron gate and drove more than 20 meters to a yard where four cars were parked neatly in a row and did not stop at the garage in the podium.

Next, the family held a ceremony to move to a new house. Firecrackers, crossing the brazier, and offering sacrifices to the ancestors did not end until about 09:30.

At ten o'clock, the invited guests also came one after another, namely Tang Zhongyuan and his wife, Lin Yunchu and his wife, and Li Gaofu and his wife.The three families are all relatives of Lin Zhichao and business allies.

Only relatives are definitely not enough, at least they must be successful in business, otherwise, seeing such a luxurious villa, wouldn't it be easy to be hit and malicious?

Therefore, even Lin Yunchu, the second uncle of Lin Zhichao, who has the lowest wealth level, can currently make an annual profit of nearly one million Hong Kong dollars in his business.

After arriving, the four men sat and chatted together in the living room, while the women gathered to visit and chat.

Li Gaofu said: "Since the end of the Double Tenth event, the Hong Kong government has arrested more than 6000 people, released another 3000 people, and found another 500 people guilty. This time the Hong Kong government is really angry!"

Although the association is not considered popular in front of several people, especially in the eyes of Lin Zhichao, this incident is considered a topic.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Continuing in this way, the Hong Kong government will make a surprise attack every year before the Double Tenth, arresting a large number of people to deter it, so as not to happen again."

Tang Zhongyuan nodded and said, "It makes sense! As long as the Hong Kong government is not stupid, they will know that this method is the best. In fact, many people who participated this time are full of resentment. Their salary is weak at work and they are bullied by their bosses. When they see this kind of thing, they will go along with it."

Lin Zhichao agrees with this point of view. Although associations are organizers, most of the people who participate are paid, which is out of a kind of venting of long-term oppression.

Therefore, he said: "Both of these forces are good at trending workers, so we factory owners must be careful not to oppress workers too much, and try our best to give employees good benefits. There are still many salaries in the market that are only forty or fifty. Others work for a month and can't even eat enough. Obviously it shouldn't be."

It can be said that Lin Zhichao's factory was the first to popularize "meal stickers", "year-end bonuses" and "holiday benefits". Although he has many workers, his benefits are one of the best factories.Once these benefits are issued, the wages of workers can not only maintain food and clothing, but also save a lot.

In fact, the profits of factories in Hong Kong are actually very high. Otherwise, how could there be so many rich people?
Large factories pay a little more, and the benefits they give may be slightly better, but some small factories rely entirely on exploiting the value of workers to obtain the maximum benefits.

For them, there is nothing to worry about. Anyway, the mainland often brings cheap labor to Hong Kong. This year, 6 to 30 people have been brought in, so it is a lot of 60-100 Hong Kong dollars a month.This situation existed until the [-]s and [-]s. At that time, there were a lot of people with more than [-] jobs.

This is seriously inconsistent with Hong Kong's economic development. Because of this, the gunpowder keg will be ignited immediately. After the incident, the salary will already be 1300~1500 yuan after eight years.

After all, it is the Hong Kong government that protects entrepreneurs and turns a blind eye to the welfare of ordinary people.Even the income of the Hong Kong government does not spend much on people's livelihood.

Tang Zhongyuan, Li Gaofu, and Lin Yunchu all agreed with Lin Zhichao's words, and told about their factory treatment.

Obviously, under the influence of Lin Zhichao, the treatment of workers in our factories is relatively good in the industry.Even Tang Zhongyuan's Dongfang Group employs nearly 3000 people, and the treatment is relatively good in the industry.

After chatting for a while, we all had lunch together, chatted happily, and finally said goodbye one by one.

The next day.

Members of the Lin family got up early one after another, not only to welcome the new year, but also to make everyone very excited about moving to a new house.

Walking into the study room, opening the window, you can see the Deep Water Bay Golf Course at a glance, even part of the Deep Water Bay, and a mountain in the distance opposite.

“The scenery is amazing!”

"The feng shui is really good!"

Lin Zhichao sent two exclamations in succession!
However, although it is very close to the golf course, Lin Zhichao is not used to playing golf early in the morning.He is a young man, so he naturally has the morning exercise of a young man.

So he came out to the yard, did some exercise, stretched his muscles.There is no need to practice martial arts, that stuff is useless, especially under the 'truth'.

In the yard, while exercising his muscles, Lin Zhichao was also thinking about what big business activities he would have in the new year.

Undoubtedly, it is still shipping, real estate, and industry.

As for other industries, don't rush to get involved.

Take the media industry as an example. If Lin Zhichao runs a newspaper, he will easily get involved in politics;And it was a good time to start the newspaper at that time, because there were a lot more client groups, and to put it bluntly, there were a lot more literate people.

First run newspapers and magazines, then set up a movie theater chain, and then acquire Li TV in the 80s, and develop step by step.As for TVB, it's still for Shao Liushu, after all, it's all gone, and he doesn't even have a competitor, isn't it boring.

What's more, the reason why TVB can be managed by Chinese is because the major shareholders are Hutchison Whampoa, HSBC and other British foreign firms.To put it bluntly, the British were in the 60s, and they were not at ease completely handing over their tongues to the Chinese.

As for the development of overseas business, Lin Zhichao also has his own ideas, that is, it will only be carried out on a small scale in the late 50s or early 60s.It won't work if the foundation is weak.

In short, Lin Zhichao is in good health, and it may be easy to live to a hundred years old, so there is no rush to do anything. (end of this chapter)
