The birth of the Hong Kong Island family
Chapter 54 [Spring is coming]
In the office of Changjiang Real Estate, Lin Zhichao met with Li Shauji.
He also did not expect that this ‘Asian Stock God’, one of the four major families in later generations, would work for him.
Of course, he also understood that these were just temporary shelters for Li Shauji, and it was impossible for others to work for a long time, so he didn't think much about it.
"Shau Kee, I will give you a monthly salary of 200 Hong Kong dollars, and a monthly bonus based on performance; you can just open this 'Yangtze River Bank' for me, and recruit any talents I need. As for your personal speculation in foreign exchange and gold, I won’t interfere, I’m free enough.”
The conditions were excellent, but Lee Shau-kee immediately said: "Boss Lin, I'm afraid there is one more thing I want to tell you. If I want to resign in the future, I hope you can understand."
Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Don't worry! I know that you can live a comfortable life even if you are flexible in trading orders on Bonham East Street. Therefore, you can ask me to resign at any time. I will not stop you, let alone blame you." you."
When Li Shauji heard this, he felt very happy. After all, he could have lived a prosperous life on Bonham East Street with his skills.
"Thank you, Boss Lin, for your appreciation!"
The two quickly reached an agreement, and Lee Shau Kee went to work immediately to plan the decoration of the bank and recruit staff for Lin Zhichao, leaving almost all the power to Lee Shau Kee.
Lin Zhichao was still very reassured about Li Zhaoji's character. A cunning person could make a temporary profit, but he would never achieve great success. What's more, 'Changjiang Bank' is a subsidiary of Changjiang Real Estate, and its financial aspects are still handed over to the department led by Zhou Fuzhao. The specific simple decoration is the matter of the Changjiang Real Estate Engineering Department, and Li Zhaoji can just give some opinions.
In March, spring arrived in Hong Kong. Lin Zhichao took Tang Caiyun to take the new Peak Tram to the Peak of Victoria Peak.
The Peak Tram began operation in 1888. It starts from Garden Road in Central, passes through Kennedy Road Station, MacDonnell Road Station, May Road Station, Barker Road Station, and finally reaches the Peak Terminus.
In fact, very few people get off or board the train at the four stations in the middle, so many cable cars don’t even stop. Among them, Mei Dao Station is 180 meters above sea level, and Baijiadao Station is 363 meters above sea level. It is within easy reach of the summit terminal at 397 meters above sea level.
"Hey, there's a new cable car!" Tang Caiyun said in surprise.
At this time, she was dressed like a young lady from the beach. Her slim embroidered dress outlined her graceful figure, revealing her arms as white as lotus roots.
Why doesn't Lin Zhichao look for girls from wealthy families in Guangdong Province? Because in terms of looks, the girls and socialites from Shanghaitan are enough to beat the whole country, and their thoughts are naturally more avant-garde.
After all, as a modern person, if he were really a woman from the Qing Dynasty, he might not be able to accept any of them. What's the point of having three wives and four concubines? Even if he is like Mrs. Li or Mrs. Zheng, Lin Zhichao still feels that his life is dull. After all, his mentality is that of a modern person.
"Well, I just changed it this year. There were news reports a few days ago!" Lin Zhichao said with a smile.
This year, the Peak Tram has been replaced with an electric traction gear-driven ‘all-metal carriage’ that can accommodate 62 people. Lin Zhichao also saw it in the newspaper and planned to experience it.
Otherwise, he would just drive there.
The two of them got on the cable car and were right next to the window, so they could enjoy the scenery outside.
The cable car trip was very fast, it took about 8 to 10 minutes to reach the top station, and the two of them arrived at the observation deck.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the picturesque scenery of Hong Kong comes into view.
Hong Kong’s harbor is clear and waveless;
The mountains of Hong Kong are green and dust-free;
In fact, Hong Kong at this time is actually just a simple and clear green. There are only two truly prosperous roads in Hong Kong - Des Voeux Road and King's Road.
But the senses given to Lin Zhichao were surprisingly good!
Clean, beautiful, lively and energetic.
"Brother Zhichao, I'm starting to like Hong Kong too!" Tang Caiyun confessed immediately when she saw Lin Zhichao falling into a fascination with Hong Kong.
The answer to why she started to like Hong Kong is self-evident.
Lin Zhichao retracted his gaze from afar, looked sideways at Keren beside him, and said, "Thank you, Caiyun!"
Tang Caiyun raised her head slightly and said, "Brother Zhichao, what do you like about Hong Kong?" She asked seriously and curiously.
Compared with Shanghai, Hong Kong is relatively backward in terms of economy, culture and life, and its urban construction is far behind Shanghai. According to my father, it is not even as good as Hangzhou.
Lin Zhichao blurted out: "I like you. Because you are in Hong Kong."
However, the modern population is used to playing tricks. Although they have subconsciously restrained themselves, the essence has not changed.
A blush suddenly appeared on Tang Caiyun's face, and then she lowered her head and said, "Why are you trying to steal my words!"
"Haha. Let's go to the mountaintop restaurant to have a meal and drink tea!"
The original site of the Peak Restaurant was originally a place where British engineers worked and rested when the Peak Tram was built in 1888. The site was later handed over to the government. In 1901, it was dismantled and rebuilt into a sedan parking place and a shack for bearers to rest, so that residents at that time could get from the Peak to the Peak. Transfer to the cable car and take the sedan home. Parked in the building are public sedans and private sedans for bearers. With the decline of sedan chairs, starting from 1947, the site was converted into an outdoor teahouse and Western restaurant, and was named the Peak Restaurant.
If Lin Chi-chao's favorite place in Hong Kong is currently, it would be Victoria Peak, Deep Water Bay, and Repulse Bay. The Peak of Victoria Peak can offer ‘a panoramic view of the mountains and small mountains’, Deep Water Bay can offer ‘deep-rooted feng shui and strong feng shui’, and Repulse Bay can offer ‘beautiful, romantic and poetic scenery’.
Along the way, Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun looked like handsome men and beautiful women, attracting countless attention. It seemed that they were both a rich and noble couple.
Arriving at the Western restaurant of the Peak Restaurant, the two sat opposite each other.
"Brother Zhichao, I don't plan to continue studying in college!" Tang Caiyun said suddenly.
Tang Caiyun studied in the Magic City for one year. If Tang Zhongyuan hadn't arranged for an evacuation in a hurry, she would still be studying in the Magic City!
Originally, she was opposed to giving up her studies and taking refuge in Hong Kong, but Tang Zhongyuan lied to her daughter that there was also a "Hong Kong University" in Hong Kong. In fact, the admission requirements of the two universities are different, so if Tang Caiyun wants to continue studying in university, she will definitely need to relearn a lot.
Of course, now that Tang Caiyun told Lin Zhichao, the meaning was different.
Lin Zhichao is not stupid, nor will he pretend to be stupid, so he said: "I will marry you early next year!"
Tang Caiyun immediately showed a hint of joy and blush, and whispered: "Yes."
Immediately, Lin Zhichao said: "Consolidate your career this year, and you will have no worries next year. Moreover, I also want to go to Europe and the United States to buy you a diamond ring as a wedding ring!"
Tang Caiyun nodded happily. This man was both powerful and romantic. He was simply a girl's prince charming.
In the evening, Wu Wenying invited Tang Zhongyuan's family to have dinner together.
During the dinner, Tang Zhongyuan took out a piece of textile cloth and handed it to Lin Zhichao.
"What do you think of the fabric we just produced?" After speaking, there was hope on his face.
At this time, Tang Zhongyuan looked less like Lin Zhichao's future father-in-law and more like a textile factory owner who came forward to make a sales pitch. This is a fact. He is very eager to prove himself that he can achieve a career without Tang Bingyuan. At the same time, when his family comes to Hong Kong, he also urgently needs to open up the situation and cannot just sit back and have nothing.
Lin Zhichao started to feel it, and then observed it carefully, and then said: "I think it should be about the same, but I have to let the people in the factory confirm it. Uncle Tang, don't worry, you have been in the textile industry for so many years, there must be no questionable."
He distinguishes between public and private affairs. If Tang Zhongyuan's product is not up to standard, he can give him time to change it, but he cannot adopt it.
Tang Zhongyuan nodded and said, "Well, I'll take it for inspection tomorrow. To be honest, although I have managed textile factories for so many years, it was only after I entered your factory that I learned what modern Western management is like, which also helped me a lot. "
Lin Zhichao invited Tang Zhongyuan to inspect Yangtze River Industries several times, with the purpose of promoting mutual progress.
Of course, Tang Zhongyuan's Tsuen Wan factory has not officially started construction at this time and is expected to open at the end of the month. However, Tang Zhongyuan rented another factory building to temporarily use it as a place to store machines and train workers.
"Uncle Tang, thank you. We all make progress together. After your textile factory is opened, our factory can give you some orders, and other orders have to be exported to Southeast Asia. As for entering Europe and the United States, you have to take your time, don't rush."
"Well, that makes sense!"
Tang Zhongyuan is not considered a rich man in Shanghai, with a net worth of only 500,000 to 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. This time he invested nearly 400,000 Hong Kong dollars in the textile factory.
Of course, Lin Zhichao will definitely support him, after all, he is his father-in-law.
Therefore, Lin Zhichao added: "If Uncle Tang is rich, he can invest in land in Tsuen Wan. Within a year or two, the price will double."
Tang Zhongyuan was overjoyed and said immediately: "I know!"
He only had a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars in hand, but he trusted Lin Zhichao very much, so he planned to buy all the land. What's more, once the factory starts operating, he will be able to make a profit, because Yangtze River Industrial can give him nearly half of his orders.
After dinner, Tang Zhongyuan took Song Qiaoling and his two sons Tang Xianqian and Tang Youqian downstairs to go home.
As for Tang Caiying, she had already entered the boudoir with Lin Xiner. The two were classmates and immediately became relatives, so naturally they had a very good relationship. As for Tang Caiyun, the couple asked her to help her future mother-in-law clean up before leaving.
In fact, after Tang Zhongyuan and his wife left, Lin Zhichao stopped Tang Caiyun from helping, but said: "Mom, you are busy first. I will talk to Caiyun and hire two servants for you another day."
Wu Wenying said with a smile: "Whatever servant I want, I don't want Caiyun's help. I can't bear to part with such beautiful hands."
Lin Zhichao had already pulled Tang Caiyun to his bedroom. Wu Wenying wanted to remind him, but he retracted his words when he spoke.
"Forget it, my son is not a reckless person!"
Tang Caiyun was pulled to the bedroom by Lin Zhichao. Her face was anxious and shy, and she whispered: "Brother Zhichao, why do you want me to see people in front of Aunt Ying like this?"
Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "What's the point? We won't close the door! I just invite you to visit my room."
So, a 20cm gap was left in the door.
Tang Caiyun finally calmed down, and since she was really curious about Lin Zhichao's bedroom, she started to visit.
In fact, it is very simple, mainly because there are many books, Lin Zhichao is still very easy to learn. After all, his career needs it, and he does not want to become an 'illiterate businessman'.
Seen from behind, Tang Caiyun's graceful figure is really charming.
After a while, he lost control and hugged Tang Caiyun from behind.
Then, he turned her over again and started to get closer.
Maybe she was frightened by Lin Zhichao, maybe Tang Caiyun was at a loss, but in short, the sweet taste was warm and intoxicating.
Parted lips.
Tang Caiyun said with warmth and shyness: "Brother Zhichao, you are too much. This is my first time."
Lin Zhichao immediately vowed: "God is my witness, I promise."
Tang Caiyun sealed Lin Zhichao's mouth with a jade finger and said, "Who wants your guarantee? I believe you!"
While the two were making love to each other, the door to the room was pushed open, and Lin Xiner and Tang Caiying were at the door. The two women were stunned, as if they were young girls who opened their mouths after seeing something inappropriate.
Tang Caiyun immediately pushed Lin Zhichao away and jumped away like a rabbit, her face burning.
"Xin'er, take Sister Caiyun and Sister Caiying home for me." Only Lin Zhichao ordered his sister as if nothing was wrong.
"Oh, okay brother."
Tang Caiying walked at the end and made a face to Lin Zhichao, as if to say, come and please me quickly, or I will tell my parents.
Lin Zhichao suddenly made an even more exaggerated grimace, which frightened Tang Caiying and she immediately ran away.
