Chapter 243: The idea of opening a pharmaceutical factory
2013
Lin Sanqi traveled back to modern society and sat at home for a long time to relax. When the time difference reached half a day, he finally paused his thoughts about 1960 from his mind, changed into shorts and a white vest, and walked out of the room.
The house is quiet and deserted, my parents are not at home.
Except for the younger sister who goes to school, everyone else in the Lin family is busy making money.
Lin Sanqi is busy traveling between two eras to work as a buyer, Dr. Lin Musen is busy decorating the Chinese medicine clinic and recruiting people, and even Wang Wenjuan is stationed in the warehouse to strictly control the entry and exit of medicinal materials.
Then, since the Lin family’s dilapidated house was smashed up by the Zhou family last time, they have not had time to renovate it properly.
Lin Sanqi thought, this doesn't fit with my image as a newly minted billionaire. Where are the luxury cars and mansions I promised myself? If I don't enjoy my money, what's the point of having it?
Lin Musen had just walked into the house from outside and saw his son coming down the stairs. He said happily:
"Hey, you're back?"
Lin Sanqi felt strange, as if he was on a business trip. "Yeah, I'm back. Dad, what happened during the time I was away?"
Lin Musen looked at his son stupidly:
"Didn't you say you were there for a day, but here it's only an hour? Even though you've been walking for the better part of a month, it's actually only been a day and a night here."
Lin Sanqi patted his head, thinking that sooner or later he would suffer from "time travel syndrome". He didn't even have time to adjust to the time difference and had to resume his original life.
Seeing his son was a little stunned, Lin Musen said with a smile:
"Okay, stop thinking about it. Let's go. Grandpa has exchanged a piece of residential land for us. Let's go and take a look."
Lin Sanqi was a little confused. "Hey, didn't we say we were going to renovate our house? How come we're moving to a new location and rebuilding the house?"
Lin Musen was in a good mood today and said with a smile:
"Grandpa said our current homestead is too small, and the road in front of the house is too narrow, with no parking space. So he decided to exchange our homestead with that of our fourteenth uncle's in the west of the village. At the same time, I will give him an additional subsidy of 2 million yuan."
Homestead swaps are a common occurrence in the village, but why do we need to swap with the Fourteenth Uncle's family? And why do we need to subsidize them with such a large sum of money?
Lin Sanqi, with a head full of questions, followed his father to the west of the village. When he saw his fourteenth uncle's house with his own eyes, he finally understood his grandfather's intentions.
Fourteenth Uncle Lin Amao's family is the worst off in Shilou Village. The reason for this is that both Fourteenth Uncle and his wife are disabled, and their son after marriage also has a mental disability.
You can imagine how miserable such a family is. When the son wants to get married, he can only find a girl who is also mentally retarded. As a result, the grandson he gives birth to also has some intellectual problems.
It became impossible for Lin Amao's family to rely on his grandson to make a comeback.
It can be said that Lin Amao's family mainly relies on dividends and subsistence allowances from the village to make a living. They have no worries about food and drink, but if the medical expenses are added, it will not be enough.
Because of poverty, more than 30 years ago, Lin Amao exchanged his old house in the center of the village for a piece of land on the edge of the village, and built a small building on the land.
The purpose of changing the homestead was so that Lin Amao could contract a nearby pond and make a living by raising fish and shrimp to support his family.
Later, even though the economy developed rapidly and the land in Shilou Village was rapidly upgraded, the villagers did not bully Lin Amao and allowed him to continue to make a living by raising fish and shrimp in the fish pond.
Until this year, Lin Amao fell and completely lost his ability to work, and the fish farming plan had to be terminated. The Shilou Village Committee had already decided to take back the fish pond and give Lin Amao's family some additional subsidies.
(The land is not privately owned, and neither is the fish pond. The original contract for the fish pond has long since expired, and the village committee has the right to reclaim it.)
Grandpa Lin stood in front of the pond and introduced Lin Sanqi:
"Qizi, look at this pond plus your fourteenth uncle's homestead. It's almost two mu in total. It's the largest available land in Shilou Village. Is it enough for you to build a new house?"
The building density in urban villages is extremely high. It is so high that houses are built wherever there is space. If there is no room to build horizontally, they are built towards the sky.
Originally two-story buildings were built into three-story buildings, three-story buildings were built into five-story buildings, and the tallest buildings were built into eight-story buildings, which were then used to collect rent. This is also a major source of income for villagers in urban villages.
Of course, this type of building method is almost always illegal. In 2022, a self-built house in an urban village collapsed at the back door of Changsha Medical College, killing more than 50 people. This was caused by illegal addition of floors.
But people are like that, they won't give up until they reach the Yellow River. No one will listen even if the alarm bell is sounded. Everyone is desperately trying to add floors to earn rent.
So if you want to get a piece of land in Shilou Village to build a big house, it is really not an easy task, and it is not something you can do just by having money.
Lin Sanqi was a little surprised when he learned about the value of land in the urban village:
"Grandpa, with such a large piece of land, let alone building a house, we can even build a large garden. But will Fourteenth Uncle's family agree? What if the villagers accuse us of bullying their disabled people? Wouldn't we be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall?"
Uncle Lin laughed, appearing very confident:
"First, you're exchanging houses, using your three-story house in the center of the village for their small two-story house. It's actually your fourteenth great-uncle's family that's profiting. The pond isn't your fourteenth great-uncle's, so no one would object if your family gave them a 2 million yuan subsidy.
With the interest from these two million, plus the village dividends, your fourteenth uncle's family's financial situation will be alleviated. If it were someone else, why would they need two million? Giving them 200,000 is more than enough. Your father just doesn't want your fourteenth uncle to suffer any loss.
The reason I chose this piece of land for your family is not just because of your fourteenth uncle's homestead. It's also because of this pond. Once it's filled in and fenced off, these two acres of homestead will be bigger than my house."
The Lin family is now engaged in the "time-travel business". There is no difference between Chinese medicinal materials and pocket money purchases, and the assets in the account already have hundreds of millions of liquid funds.
With the Lin family's current financial resources, they can afford almost all the properties in Huadu except for the top luxury houses. They can take their pick; if they want a villa, they have a villa; if they want a large flat next to the slim waist, they have a large flat.
But whether it is Lin Musen or Lin Sanqi, the father and son have a consensus that no matter how rich their family is, they will never move out of Shilou Village.
Living in the village gives you a sense of security.
Therefore, the best option now is to replace the homestead and find a larger place to build a new luxury house. I have to say that Uncle Lin’s plan is perfect.
Lin Sanqi had no objection to this replacement subsidy.
"Grandpa, I'll listen to you. Your arrangements are absolutely the best. You've taken our family's interests into consideration, as well as Fourteenth Uncle's family. If I were to say who I admire most in my life, it would be you, Grandpa."
Uncle Lin thought about it for a long time, and just wanted to convince the two families, so he showed a complacent smile.
"That's right. Grandpa is the most fair in his work. He must serve every member of the tribe well."
Some people may say, please, building new houses in urban villages is not allowed, and the Land Bureau will not agree to this kind of homestead exchange, so it is impossible to pass the approval.
Don't forget, this is the largest urban village in the country. To build a house in an urban village, you only need the consent of the neighbors, the clan (village), and Mazu...
Lin Sanqi supported Uncle Lin and asked:
"Grandpa, Uncle Tianhua, the man you recommended last time, is now the general manager of our Lingnan Hall. He's great. My dad and I don't have to worry about anything at all. Business is booming now."
Uncle Lin was even happier when he heard this: "Isn't it? I knew your tenth uncle was a sales talent in this field. Grandpa has good vision, right?"
Lin Sanqi quickly offered another round of rainbow farts:
"Good, very good, so good that I have to ask you for help again, Grandpa. Are there any talented people in the medical field among our Lin family?"
Uncle Lin stopped and was a little surprised: "Hey, are you planning to open a pharmaceutical factory?"
Lin Musen was also shocked when he heard this. Although there was a division of labor in the family, he only had to manage the Lingnantang Chinese Medicine Clinic, but as a father, how could he be indifferent to his son's business?
"Son, you want to open a pharmaceutical factory? Isn't that a big step?"
Uncle Lin is also afraid that young people will rush into various projects in a rush, which will eventually lead to a broken funding chain and a complete loss.
Especially since the Lin family has only been rich for a few months, and they actually want to take a big step and open a pharmaceutical factory. This is a very drastic step.
"Yes, Qizi, it's great that your family is selling medicinal herbs now. It's asset-light, low risk, and high profit. If you open a pharmaceutical factory, it will be very troublesome and there will be a lot of things to do. The key is that the survival environment of domestic pharmaceutical factories is not good now.
The original Tianhe Pharmaceutical Factory and the Second Pharmaceutical Factory have long since closed down. And as far as I know, the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group currently has a monopoly on everything in Huadu. It's probably not that easy for you to get involved."
Lin Sanqi was really surprised this time:
"Wow, Grandpa, you know a lot about medicine too! That's amazing! Dad, we should hire you as a strategic advisor for Lingnan Hall. The annual salary should start at at least 10 million."
Lin Sanqi deliberately wanted to give money to Grandpa, after all, he had helped his family so much.
Uncle Lin waved his hand:
"Hey, I can be the consultant, but I can't accept money. I'm the clan leader, and the clan leader serves all the members. If I accept your money, then in the future, the clan members will suspect that I'm taking money, and then I'll lose everyone's trust."
Lin Sanqi scratched his head, thinking that the old man was really old-fashioned and would not even take the money.
"Qizi, opening a pharmaceutical factory is a huge undertaking. Why don't you call your tenth uncle over to discuss it with us? His talents aren't limited to sales, so you can give him more responsibilities."
Lin Sanqi nodded silently, remembering to leave professional matters to professionals.
Lingnantang’s headquarters is located in the core area of Tianhe CBD, on the 66th floor of Building A, Shilou Tiandi.
Shilou Tiandi has a total of 5 88-story skyscrapers, all of which are assets of Shilou Village Property Management Company. The rent is also an important source of income for Shilou Village.
