The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 239 [1958 Years]

When Lin Zhichao woke up, he found that it was already New Year's Day in 1958, another year had passed, and a new year was ushering in.

He couldn't help but recall the experience of the past 11 and a half years, it was a dreamlike experience, which made him often have an illusion, is all this real?
From a poor boy who almost wandered on the streets, he has become a world-class rich man with a net worth of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars; from coming to Hong Kong alone to work hard, he is now the founder of the "Lin Family" with as many as ten family members. above name.

Compared with the wasted ten years and ten years in the previous life, it is really a world of difference.

No longer feeling emotional, Lin Zhichao got up from the bed, and then covered Tang Caiyun with the bed.The beauty is still the same beauty, and the traces of time on her face are not obvious, even though Tang Caiyun is already a mother of four children.

Tang Caiyun lazily opened her eyes and saw Lin Zhichao was wearing it, with a smile on her lips, but then she closed her eyes again and continued to sleep; because she knew that this time should be before six o'clock.

Energetic man, but she needs a beauty sleep.

Lin Zhichao, wearing a crocodile shirt and suit and leather shoes, walked downstairs.

When going downstairs, his hand was holding on to the imported Burmese wooden railing, which was smooth and heavy in texture; looking down, the design style of the entire staircase was very suitable for him, with ancient yellow lights, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and Western-style decorations Standing guard at both ends of the bottom book of the stairs, the whole design is a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

"Good morning, Lin Sheng!"

"Good morning, Aunt Fang! What's for breakfast today?"

Lin Zhichao also responded normally when he met his aunt who was preparing breakfast.

The Lin family has a large population, so there are only two servants who cook, and the two cooks can cook a home-cooked meal; but Lin Zhichao is not satisfied, and specially asks the master to teach some food how to cook. He will pay the tuition fee, and the servant will serve the Lin family after he learns it.

Therefore, if the two aunts who cook have caught up with each other for a few years, if they have the idea of ​​opening a restaurant, they will definitely be good at cooking, and their private kitchens will definitely cook well.

In fact, the chefs of rich people are very skilled, and they often deal with high-end ingredients and are knowledgeable; so these people have changed their destiny in this life, such as the former private chef of He Dong, who opened Fulinmen; or Lin Zhichao's family The chef chose to resign and open a private kitchen. With Lin Zhichao's reputation as a "private chef" and his good cooking skills, the business will definitely not worry.

Lin's two cooks both earn 300 Hong Kong dollars a month, and they also earn 5000 yuan a year for the benefits and lai see during the holidays, and they still include food and housing.

Aunt Fang said, "There are shrimp dumplings, fried beef, soup dumplings, steamed sweet potatoes, steamed corn, egg tarts, milk, and soy milk."

Lin Zhichao nodded, he just asked casually, he didn't care what he had for breakfast!
There are many varieties because everyone has different tastes and can choose freely.

Lin Zhichao does not necessarily have breakfast at home every day, sometimes he will drive outside to have morning tea with friends.

Every morning, Lin Zhichao does three things: read newspapers, exercise, and have breakfast.So this morning, Lin Zhichao planned to go to 'Deep Water Bay Golf Course' to play golf.

This is the advantage of being close to the golf course. He lives not only close to the golf course, but also close to the deep water bay, so at noon on weekends, he will go for a winter swim.

At a quarter past six, Lin Zhichao came to the Deep Water Bay Golf Course and started playing alone.

He used to despise golf, but now he likes it. He comes to exercise three or four times a week in the morning, and once for 30-60 minutes.

A par-10 nine-hole course takes three to ten minutes to four ten minutes for one lap. If you play well, you can play two laps in the morning, which is exactly one hour.

Today is New Year's Day, Lin Zhichao naturally played two laps before getting ready to go home.

Soon, after two laps, Lin Zhichao felt comfortable all over and was ready to go home for breakfast.

When you come to the golf club.

"what"

"Lin Sheng, what's the matter?"

Hearing Lin Zhichao's voice, the caddy asked with concern.This is the God of Wealth. The caddy in the clubhouse wants to be Lin Zhichao’s caddy in the morning. If you are lucky, you can get a tip of 100. As long as Mr. Lin hits a birdie or an eagle; even if you don’t score that day, you can also Get a tip of HK$20.

Lin Zhichao walked a few steps to a sewer, looked inside, and said, "I dropped a coin just now, and it rolled into it by accident!"

The caddy said without thinking, "Lin Sheng, let me help you find it!"

After speaking, the caddy turned over the slate and looked for clues of coins.When he saw a one-dollar coin, he had two thoughts in his mind. The first was that he had finally found it, and the second was that Boss Lin still cared about the one-dollar coin.

At this time, some members who played the morning ball saw that Lin Zhichao lost something and the caddy was looking for it for him, so they immediately surrounded him curiously.

"Lin Sheng, is it a Hong Kong dollar coin?"

Lin Zhichao said happily: "Yes, yes, Agui, did you find it?"

Caddy Agui raised the coin in his hand and said, "It should be this one, because there is only this one!"

Lin Zhichao was about to get it, but Agui quickly took it back, and said, "Lin Sheng, let me wash you, the water below is dirty!"

Agui quickly ran to a faucet to wash the coins, and then quickly handed them to Lin Zhichao.

But what followed was that Lin Zhichao handed Agui a 100 Hong Kong dollar bill.

"Agui, this is my tip, thank you for helping me find this coin!"

"Lin Sheng, this coin is one dollar!"

Agui was stunned. What he was looking for was a one-dollar coin, but Lin Sheng gave him a 100 Hong Kong dollar bill. Could this be a miscalculation!
The members who watched the excitement also said: "Lin Sheng, you are in a big business. Did you miscalculate the account of this small business?"

Another echoed, "Maybe Lin Sheng is generous to these caddies. No wonder, everyone looks forward to being Lin Sheng's caddies every time."

Lin Zhichao responded with a smile: "Everyone, I picked up this coin because I was afraid that it would roll into the sewer, disappear and be wasted, and the world would lose one dollar of wealth. I gave this young man, Agui, 100 yuan as hard work expenses, because He can use it. It is not easy for young people to make money, and this money will not disappear in the world. I think money can be used, but it should not be wasted. Let everyone laugh!"

The expressions of the people who came to watch suddenly froze, and it took a few seconds for them to respond.

"A very philosophical statement!"

"It makes sense."

Afterwards, Lin Zhichao bid farewell to everyone, leaving only a group of people still reminiscing about the 'superior' style.

Holding the money in his hand, Ah Gui made him feel that he had acquired very useful knowledge for the first time.He was thinking, Mr. Lin is so rich, he still cares about that dollar, but he can give himself a tip of 100, which can cover his basic salary for a month.And he works as a caddy in the clubhouse and knows English, so he earns a lot, with an income of four to five hundred a month; however, he never cherishes the money he earns, and always likes to go out with his friends to be chic.

"Am I going to be a caddy for the rest of my life?"

"I don't want it. I'm trying to save money now, so that one day I can start a business, open a factory, and become a rich man like Lin Sheng."

Unknowingly, Ah Gui grasped the money in his hand very tightly.

Lin Zhichao didn't know that his actions not only became a good story, but also awakened a young man and made certain achievements in the future.

In fact, he always likes to give advice to people around him. For example, he suggested that bodyguards buy houses in installments, and he even did not hesitate to withdraw their wages in advance and deduct them every month.

When he got home, Lin Zhichao ordered a Fried Niuhe.

The so-called "fried beef river" is stir-fried beef with river noodles. Lin Zhichao's breakfast is more meaty, mainly because he consumes a lot and has a strong metabolism.

"Xin'er, will you be returning to Hong Kong in six months?" Xu Caiying asked with concern as she ate her corn slowly.

Tang Caiyun, Xu Caiying, and Lin Xiner are not real sisters, but they are better than real sisters; of course, this is mainly because Lin Zhichao is the hub.

"Well, I will return to Hong Kong after graduation and work in the family business! I am 25 years old, if I can bring back a boyfriend, that would be great!" Lin Zhichao couldn't help but feel sad after finishing speaking.

He made a special call to tell Lin Xiner that if she had the chance, she could find a boyfriend who could return to Hong Kong, as long as her knowledge and character were fine.To put it bluntly, Lin Zhichao didn't dislike the fact that the other party's family was poor.

As an elder brother, he still hopes that she will have a good home, because an elder brother is like a father, especially Lin Zhichao also has two daughters.

Tang Caiyun smiled and said, "You were not in a hurry before!"

Lin Zhichao said: "This is a kind of mentality as a father. When a daughter is young, it is natural that she is reluctant to talk about her boyfriend and get married; when the daughter is older, there is no rush to be a parent."

Tang Caiyun said again: "You are so demanding, and Xin'er listens to you so much, how can it be easy to find!"

Lin Zhichao said: "Marriage is a lifelong affair. Incompatibility of views, lack of knowledge, and poor character will not make you grow old. I am demanding, and I am just a wake-up call for her. If she really finds someone she likes, I will not marry her." Really be a villain."

Only then did Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying realize that Lin Zhichao had good intentions.

Xu Caiying asked curiously again: "Then what dowry is your brother going to give her?"

Lin Zhichao said: "If Xin'er can make a difference in the workplace, I don't mind giving him a part of the equity of a hotel brand. She also has a strong backer in this life. Other dowries, how could I treat my only sister badly!"

Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying smiled, not only for their mother-in-law, but also for their husband, expressing that they have no objections.

In the morning, Lin Zhichao accompanied his children to learn calligraphy, ancient prose, and parent-child classes; in the afternoon, he took Tang Caiyun to go fishing on a yacht. The calm sea gave him an atmosphere of calm thinking.

The next day.

Cheung Kong Industries.

After the formal meeting, Lin Zhichao said: "I plan to let the middle and senior management of the company jointly develop the real estate. If any of you are willing to invest, you can organize and count the amount of funds. If it is not enough to invest in a real estate, the company will participate in the shares; if you can invest in one Half, the company also participates in shares. This is a voluntary investment, in short, I, the boss, will not let you lose money!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was surprised.

As close ministers of the boss, they certainly knew that it was a good time to buy the bottom at this time.Moreover, it is a real estate development, and it must be a steady profit - because the property price is cheap, and the land price is also cheap.As long as the land price is cheap, you can make more profits if you cover it up a little.

Huang Changhong, as the deputy general manager, immediately said: "Thank the boss for taking care of us, I will organize everyone well!"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Remember, it's voluntary!"

Some middle-level managers don't have much money; besides, Lin Zhichao mainly takes care of the top management.

其实长江实业的高层薪水不低，高级职员的薪资是4~6万港币的年薪，中级职员的薪资是2~3万，低级职员0.5~2万。

That is to say, the most common employee has an annual salary of 5000 yuan.

Of course, this is an employee, not a "site worker" working on the construction site, that is not an employee of Cheung Kong.

Huang Changhong said with a smile: "Of course! If there is such a good thing, everyone must be voluntary, and we will not force anyone."

Although no one will be forced to make money, we are all colleagues and will definitely persuade each other about this profitable business.

At present, the land of a real estate is only about 200 million yuan, and the management of Cheung Kong should be able to scrape together 50 to 100 million yuan.

Lin Zhichao added: "You can register a company. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will support everyone's partnership real estate."

"Ok"

After the company goes public in the future, there will be no need to win over the management in this way. At that time, the senior management will be given a 'bonus' - the right to buy the company's stock at a low price.

After the meeting, Lin Zhichao called Zhou Fuzhao, the financial manager, to the office.

"Have you ever studied the stock market?"

Zhou Fuzhao immediately said: "I have a certain understanding, but I haven't done much research. I personally have invested, but I only have [-] to [-] capital."

Lin Zhichao said: "Well. I plan to let the company invest in some stocks. You have recently compiled the information of Hong Kong listed companies and noted your own thoughts. Later, I will make my own decision and tell you which stocks to buy!"

Zhou Fuzhao nodded and said, "No problem!"

He secretly made up his mind that in the future, he should learn more financial knowledge, especially related to the stock market.There is no end to learning, this is what the boss often says.The important thing is that Cheung Kong is developing very fast. If you can't keep up with the pace, the boss will not continue to trust you.

The reason why Lin Zhichao invested in the stock market at this time was because he felt that the returns of the Hong Kong stock market from 1958 to 1961 must have been good, not lower than the rate of return in the West.

This is because Hong Kong's industry and economy are developing rapidly, and a large number of foreigners will come to Hong Kong to open branches and branches.

As for real estate, this era does not affect the stocks on the market at all, because there is only one real estate-themed stock in the Hong Kong stock market in this era.

Listed companies probably include: Kowloon Warehouse, Hong Kong Electric, Peak Tramway, Hong Kong Tramway, Qingzhou Yingni, Junyi Warehouse, Watsons, Hong Kong Hotel, Bank of East Asia, Star Ferry, Milk Company, HSBC, etc., almost all of which are old brands. British company.

If you invest 500-1000 million, you can earn 300-[-] million more or less, and you can consider the business diversification of the company.

After Zhou Fuzhao left, Lin Zhichao was thinking about it in the office.

This year, Cheung Kong is still developing commercial projects. In the second half of the year, 77 Des Voeux Road Central and the old site of Hong Kong Hotel on Pedder Street will be launched successively. These two buildings will be first-class buildings.

As for the commercial and residential land in Causeway Bay, it was launched in 1959 and only started to be sold in the 60s.

After this incident, Hong Kong citizens will definitely not buy real estate without breaking ground. Therefore, Cheung Kong will consider "sale of uncompleted properties" after the ground breaking for a few months.
