The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

This summer vacation, the Hong Kong government finally approved two things:

The first thing is that the Polytechnic Planning Committee was formally established, with Lin Zhichao as the chairman and Tang Bingyuan as the vice chairman;

The second thing is that the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel project was officially established. It was prepared by a consortium of five companies. Cheung Kong Holdings held 50% of the shares and became the largest shareholder; the remaining shareholders include HSBC, Wheelock Group, and Hysan Real Estate and Hutchison Matheson, the smallest shareholder accounting for only 5% is Hutchison Matheson.

These two things have always been of great concern to Lin Zhichao.

The Polytechnic Institute is related to the layout of Hong Kong's technology in the future; the Hung Hom Tunnel is related to the development of Hong Kong's economy.

this day.

In a hall of the Hong Kong government, the Polytechnic Steering Committee held a meeting, attended by more than 20 people, including well-known figures in Hong Kong's political, business and cultural circles.

Before the meeting, everyone chatted with each other.

"Tang Sheng, you really should be the chairman of this committee. After all, I, a person who has never even gone to college, am not in a good position!" Lin Zhichao came to Tang Bingyuan and proposed again.

Beforehand, he had already resigned and elected Tang Bingyuan as the chairman and him as the vice chairman.

After all, Tang Zhongyuan was taught at Shanghai St. John's University and Tsinghua Academy in his early years, and later entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and obtained a degree in textile engineering. More importantly, in the late 1940s, Tang Bingyuan was already a member of the National Economic Council, and his resume can be described as very high.

Tang Bingyuan said with a smile: "Lin Sheng, don't be humble! Your achievements in the industrial field of Hong Kong are enough to convince everyone; what's more, the establishment of the organizing committee of the Hong Kong Polytechnic is your credit. This is the biggest The prestige of our uncle and nephew working together for the first time, so don't be polite, anyway, I will help you well."

For the Chairman of the Preparatory Committee, he is indeed rather rare, after all, this is a good thing.

But as he said, without Lin Zhichao, how could this preparatory committee be established today?

Obviously not, at least not in recent years. It is said that Lin Zhichao has been running back and forth for this matter, even negotiating with London.

Secondly, although Lin Zhichao does not have high academic qualifications, he is recognized as a great talent in the business world. Needless to say, he can speak multiple languages. Just bringing wigs, plastic flowers, instant noodles, suitcases, etc. to Hong Kong is enough for Lin Zhichao to be honored.

Lin Zhichao said: "Okay, then what's not good enough for me, I hope everyone can point it out!"

People around laughed and said, "No problem!"

This person is not only due to that little credit, but also Lin Zhichao announced a donation of 10 million, and will continue to donate in the future, and he will continue to do so.

After a while, the meeting officially started.

The primary content of the meeting is to write a very complete report and submit it to the Hong Kong government for approval.

After the approval of this report, the Polytechnic was officially established and the Polytechnic Council was established to take over the campus and staff of the Hong Kong Polytechnic (Hung Hom).

There is a lot of land around there, and it can be expanded a little bit later. I believe that when it is upgraded to a 'technical university', it already has a lot of buildings.

As for the report of the Polytechnic Planning Committee, Lin Zhichao’s idea is very simple, that is, to hire British and American scholars and experts to come to Hong Kong for inspection and research, and then make a report; this is only a reference part, and the committee will make a summary later.

Step by step, it may take two years. Because if the Hong Kong government is not satisfied, the report will have to be revised.

But this is already considered fast!

According to Lin Zhichao's expectation, if the 1964 report was passed, the Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute would be formally established in August 1965. Compared with the previous life, this is already seven years earlier.

To hold this ‘public office’, Lin Zhichao needs to spare some time and energy, rather than simply donating money. But it didn't matter, he found Tang Bingyao for help anyway.

The two were still related. In private, Lin Zhichao had to call him 'Uncle Qi' because Tang Zhongyuan called him 'Brother Qi' or 'Brother Bingyuan'.

The first meeting went very successfully and set many directions and goals.

After the meeting, Lin Zhichao invited everyone to have a dinner, and everyone agreed to attend.

Smith is an old friend of Lin Zhichao. When Lin Zhichao entered the zipper industry, Smith was the largest customer of Yangtze Zipper. Later, after the rise of YKK zippers in Japan, his zipper industry in the Far East was affected, so he returned to New York to run his business.

At this time, Smith was standing at the door waiting with his wife Anne, fifteen-year-old son Jack, 12-year-old son Grant, and ten-year-old daughter Milu.

The residential area where they are located is a middle-to-high-end white residential area in the United States. Most of the people living here are white elites. At this time, the house behind Smith has been cleaned up by his entire family in recent days.

It turned out that they were waiting for a new 'family member' to join, and this new family member was the son of Lin Zhichao, the zipper merchant at that time. Although Lin Zhichao and Smith have no longer cooperated in recent years, the relationship from back then still exists.

Two years ago, when Lin Ruihuan was in the first grade of middle school, Lin Zhichao began to consider high school for his eldest son. At a party, when Lin Zhichao asked Smith about high schools in New York, Smith tried his best to invite Lin Ruihuan to join their family.

There is no interest relationship between the two parties, just years of friendship, so there are no complicated issues. Smith is warm and hospitable. He introduced that he and his wife have a stable relationship, a happy family with two sons and a daughter, and their address is not far from the well-known American high school "Stafdo High School".

So, it was settled like this. Previously, Lin Zhichao took Lin Ruihuan to the Stafford High School for an interview. After successfully passing the interview, he visited the Smith family and both parties were very satisfied.

"Children, you will need to be enthusiastic later to welcome the new member of our family." Smith encouraged the children.

"OK, I like Rui Huan. He will be my classmate and good friend. We will shine in 'Stafdor High School' and become the people of the school." Jack said excitedly.

"NONONO, they Chinese don't like to be high-profile. Rui Huan is as reserved as his father. He won't go crazy with you." Smith said with a smile.

"Dad, what you don't understand is that he didn't meet me. Of course he will behave differently in front of you adults. In fact, you don't know that he can play golf, football, tennis, and swim." Jack A vivid sermon.

In fact, we only had contact with each other for half a day last time, and our understanding was not very deep. However, although Lin Ruihuan is calm, it does not mean that he is a nerd. He knows how to make friends with people.

After a while, a car drove slowly.

"coming!"

It was indeed Lin Zhichao who drove Tang Caiyun and Lin Ruihuan to Smith's home.

The eldest son is in high school, so he naturally has to do it himself. A week ago, Lin Zhichao, Tang Caiyun and Lin Ruihuan took two flights and flew to New York. It was only after two days of rest at the Long Island villa that everyone officially arrived at Smith's house.

This time, Lin Ruihuan will stay at Smith's house. From now on, Lin Ruihuan will stay at Smith's house temporarily except during summer vacation.

"Smith, Anne"

"Lin Caiyun"

Everyone was very warm and friendly when they met, and Lin Ruihuan quickly got into the children's circle.

Afterwards, everyone came to the living room of the villa.

"Rui Huan, I will take you to your room. You will definitely like it!" Jack said cheerfully, holding Lin Ruihuan's shoulders.

Lin Zhichao secretly nodded to his eldest son's classmate and friend. Jack's personality is open and lively, while Lin Ruihuan's personality is calm and calm. Although they seem to have different personalities, if they get along together, there will definitely be a very good chemical reaction.

He also didn't want Lin Ruihuan to be an excessive 'little adult' who should have the adolescence of a young man, which should be radiated out and not kept in his heart. Of course, the eldest son's personality is very suitable for helping his father "protect the country", but life and work should be differentiated somewhat if they can.

"Look at them, they are getting along quickly! Lin, Caiyun, you can just leave it to us. We will treat Ruihuan like our own children, regardless of each other. This child is so sensible!" Annie smiled said.

Smith's wife, Anne, was also a stunning blond beauty when she was young, but now she still has her charm and is well maintained. The important thing is that such women are still very good at taking care of their families and children, rather than being like the United States in later generations.

Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Smith love each other very much.

Tang Caiyun nodded and said, "Well, he is quite independent, but his communication skills are not as good as Jack's. I hope I can learn from Jack."

Annie smiled and said: "I think Rui Huan's communication skills are not bad. He and Jack only spent half a day together, but they became friends, which shows that his communication skills are not bad. Because although Jack has a cheerful personality, in fact he is not I don’t want to be friends with everyone.”

The two women were discussing their children, and the two men occasionally interjected a word. They were not discussing business. After all, they already had different careers.

After Smith ended his zipper business, he ran a clothing brand in New York and his career was doing well. Therefore, the two parties rarely talk about business now, but more often get together with old friends to talk about current news, world politics and the like.

That night, Mr. and Mrs. Smith held a party in the yard. Lin Zhichao and his wife were well prepared, taking out barbecue equipment and entertaining the protagonist with a barbecue.

Later, neighbors joined in, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s warm reception served as an announcement of the ‘new member’ of the family in the surrounding area.

However, the identity of Lin Zhichao was kept strictly confidential by the Smiths. They only said that he was from a Hong Kong businessman family. After all, it would be a bad thing to know that Lin Ruihuan is the son of the 'World Shipping King'. What's more, Lin Zhichao and his wife want their son to experience the life of an 'ordinary family', rather than a family life with bodyguards, drivers, and a large number of servants. .

"Oh my God, Rui Huan, you can actually cook delicious food. You must not be an almighty superman!" Jack said exaggeratedly.

At this time, a group of children were also attracted.

Lin Ruihuan said with a smile: "My cooking skills are not good, maybe I can barely eat it. Let's try it later!"

As the son of Lin Zhichao, he naturally does not need to enter the kitchen, but he does not need to go back. He must know how to do it. This is Lin Zhichao’s education; so Lin Ruihuan knows cooking. With this skill, at least he will not become a useless person. ', these are Lin Zhichao's original words.

That night, Lin Zhichao and his wife also rested at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Smith before leaving the next day.

When leaving, Lin Ruihuan showed a strong feeling of reluctance. This was his first time away from home. However, he endured the sadness and tried his best to show a strong expression, otherwise his parents would look down on him.

Everyone has already agreed that every summer vacation, there will be about a month or so to reunite with him in Hong Kong. In other cases, it is rare to have time to see him in a year.

Looking at the car driving away, Lin Ruihuan said in his heart: "I will not let my father down!"

His idol is his father, and what he admires most is that his father ventured into the chaotic Hong Kong alone at the age of eighteen, successfully started his own business at the age of nineteen, and became a leader of the Chinese community in Hong Kong at the age of thirty. The person I am most grateful to is my father, because he knows that he has inherited his father’s smart brain, and he can always learn anything with double the efficiency of ordinary people.

"Good boy, you are definitely better than Jack. If Jack were to leave our couple, he would definitely shed tears!" Smith smiled and said deliberately, holding Lin Ruihuan's shoulders.

Jack immediately protested: "NONONO, father, you underestimate me!"

Annie immediately added: "Really? I remember last year, your father and I went on vacation for a week and asked you to take your younger brothers and sisters to live at your grandpa's house."

Jack quickly said: "Very good, I performed very well!" But he was worried that Lin Ruihuan would find out about his embarrassment.

"Ha ha"

Lin Ruihuan also laughed happily!

The other side.

Lin Zhichao drove the car himself. He was familiar with the road conditions in New York and had an American driver's license; so out of respect for the Smith family, he did not let a driver or bodyguard accompany him.

While driving, he observed Tang Caiyun, and then said: "The child has grown up and does not require us to expend much energy. The better we protect him, the harder it will be to shoulder our responsibilities in the future."

Tang Caiyun secretly wiped away her tears and then said: "In the past, I was the most aggressive towards him at home, but you are not aggressive towards my children."

The implication is that Lin Zhichao's favorite child has become the most willing person. The person who is most cruel to her child is the one who is most reluctant to let him go.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "I have always been like this, and it has not changed. Teaching by words and deeds is very important. Being more fierce does not mean that your children will truly obey you."

Tang Caiyun was immediately dissatisfied and said: "Okay, hubby, you really know how to speak decent words. I am a fierce child just for you to establish the dignity of your father. Also, you are so romantic, do your children have to follow suit!"

It's not a quarrel, but it's more or less aggrieved.

Lin Zhichao then took a step back and said: "Okay, I know that you are cruel to children because you want to establish a glorious image of me, including not wanting the children to think that I am not good at emotional matters. I am very grateful to you, really! As for me With regard to the character of a woman, she is indeed not qualified to be a teacher of children. If they learn from me in the future, I am the least qualified to teach them, so just leave it to fate!"

I am romantic, but my son is probably devoted to me.

For example, Da Liu and his eldest son in his previous life are the best proof.

But there is one thing, that is, conflicts are easy to arise between father and son. Of course, Da Liu and Xiao Liu can still make peace in the end.

Lin Zhichao is also a little worried that this kind of thing will happen to him. Fortunately, his women are very powerful and will not allow their children to be disrespectful to their father because of such things.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao expressed his gratitude to Tang Caiyun at this time.

Seeing Lin Zhichao's submission, Tang Caiyun immediately gave up and said: "How dare they, I won't allow them to say anything wrong with you!"

The only problem is naturally with women.

Lin Zhichao has recently become obsessed with Hinaiko and Marina, and calls them to Hong Kong three times a month, for one or two nights each time.

In this way, Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying didn't know the truth, but they didn't say it clearly and pretended not to know. They also understood that Lin Zhichao could not go to nightclubs and other entertainment venues, after all, his identity was there.

Then the only possibility is that Lin Zhichao is raising a woman outside. In this way, they wouldn't be too disgusted. After all, at least they didn't touch dirty women.

Looking at Lin Zhichao's life style, it is unlikely that this woman will get started.

Let's play, this man is not tired of playing anyway, he takes good care of his family.

Back at her apartment in Manhattan, Audrey Hepburn also flew over from Los Angeles for a date.

"How is it? Is Rui Huan used to it?" Audrey said with concern.

She didn't understand why Lin Ruihuan wasn't allowed to go to high school in Los Angeles, live with her, and spend three years with her two younger brothers to strengthen the brotherly relationship. Isn't this what Lin Zhichao wants to see?

Moreover, Audrey has been strengthening her relationship with her family in Hong Kong to avoid being excluded from the family's rights. Her third wife does not live up to her name.

Tang Caiyun responded with a smile: "Well, I'm used to it, and we get along very well!"

Afterwards, the two sisters chatted passionately on the sofa, and their relationship was really good.

It was mainly due to Lin Zhichao's contribution that they had no entangled interests. Audrey Hepburn also had her own career and could not come to Hong Kong to compete.

After chatting for a while, Audrey Hepburn said to Lin Zhichao: "I recently heard that there are missile launchers in Cuba. Will it affect the stock market?"

Lin Zhichao knew about this. The United States had photographed the launch pad in Cuba in early August, but the Soviet Union had always denied it.

In fact, the U.S. index fell 28% in the first half of the year, but rebounded a lot in July, and now it has started to fluctuate again in August.

But no matter how the market changes, Lin Zhichao firmly believes that October is the best bargain hunting opportunity.

However, in July, Lin Zhichao deliberately asked Audrey Investment Company and Yangtze River Fund to buy millions, creating a confusion.

Lin Zhichao said: "Well, so wait a little longer. In short, the U.S. stock market has definitely fallen a lot this year, so don't rush to buy all the bottoms, but hold on."

Audrey Hepburn has not only invested 40 million US dollars herself, but also has 40 million US dollars entrusted to her by Lin Zhichao, so she is also learning financial knowledge. Don’t seek to become an elite, but at least make sure your subordinates can’t deceive you.

At night, Audrey Hepburn mysteriously took out two small medicine bottles.

"Husband, guess what this is?"

Lin Zhichao took a few glances and said, "It seems to be the Envoid oral contraceptive pill, right?"

Audrey Hepburn nodded and said: "Well, let's try this, lest you don't have enough fun every time at the last minute!"

Tang Caiyun blushed. Most of Lin Zhichao's final blows were for everyone to fight for the entrance, because Lin Zhichao said that protein has the effect of beautifying and rejuvenating the skin. Occasionally, he would wear a hat at the last moment and add thorns. This situation made Lin Zhichao more effective. Good experience.

But wearing a hat at the last moment still affects the experience to some extent.

Lin Zhichao picked up the medicine and said, "This was on the market in 1960, but it is said that some users have some adverse reactions such as dizziness, nausea, and vomiting, so I have never brought it up. This thing is indeed a great invention. If it is improved later , which can definitely avoid those side effects.”

The person who invented the oral contraceptive pill didn't immediately make a splash because there was a lot of controversy. But it did not affect the subsequent scientists who worked tirelessly to develop new drugs. This is science.

As for the controversial areas, facts gradually proved that this product is great, and the controversy gradually disappeared.

Audrey Hepburn said: "It's okay, try it once in a while."

After saying that, I drank it directly!

It goes without saying that the final moment tonight is hers.

Tang Caiyun saw this and said with a smile: "Don't get cheap and be good! We'll have some at home later, so we're not afraid."

This man must take good care of them. Anyway, their beauty is still there. As for men who like wild flowers, there is no harm in picking them occasionally. After all, how long do wildflowers survive after being picked?

The reason why she didn't take the initiative to suggest drinking this medicine to make Lin Zhichao happier was because she was in Hong Kong and had a conservative personality.

Afterwards, Lin Zhichao suddenly became excited and found some sexy underwear and clothes and gave them to them to change into.
