When Lin Sanqi heard this, he sighed in his heart, "A dragon has nine sons, each one is different."
The uncles who stayed in Huadu tried every means to take advantage of the eldest wife, while the fifth and sixth wives who went to Hong Kong were able to stick to their original intentions in the face of wealth. No wonder their father was unwilling to take care of the affairs of his hometown, but was willing to help the fifth and sixth brothers develop in Hong Kong.
It is not clear now, but in a few decades, the future of those who stay in Huadu and those who develop in Hong Kong will be clearly different, and the gap will only get bigger and bigger.
Lin Sanqi thought, even though his father seemed to be indifferent and open-minded, he actually understood better than anyone that a small move could determine the fate of a family.
Therefore, we should act according to our conscience.
"Uncle Wu, I understand. Regarding the equity issue, you mean that the equity should be clearly defined in advance to avoid conflicts and disputes among future generations. What about the second problem?"
At this time, Uncle Lin Liu said:
"The second problem is money. Doing business requires costs, and starting a pharmaceutical company requires a significant investment, especially the start-up capital. The pharmaceutical industry is asset-heavy, so the financial pressure is considerable..."
In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, you can do everything with money, but without money you can only eat coarse food. It is very realistic.
Lin Sanqi was also thinking about a question at this time:
"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, the money issue is easy to solve. I came to Hong Kong this time just to test the waters and see if I can make some money. If I fail, I still have gold in my hands, so you don't have to worry about the funding issue."
Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu were delighted when they heard this. When they first came to Hong Kong, they had smuggled in with nothing. Not to mention US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, they didn't even have a few yuan.
Lin Sanqi was not worried about money, but was worried about another thing:
"But Uncle Fifth and Uncle Six, have you ever thought about this? If our pharmaceutical factory is established and there's no business, that's fine. But if business is booming and we make a lot of money, can we keep this business?"
When Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu heard this, they were shocked.
It is no exaggeration to say that Hong Kong is a cannibalistic society. Among the so-called four major families and ten richest men in later generations, which one of them does not have hands stained with blood?
Like a certain Li Paopao, he made his fortune by relying on his uncle and father-in-law, and then in middle age he secretly turned to British capital, and finally climbed to the position of the richest man by working for them.
The so-called Zheng family was actually just a son-in-law who relied on his father-in-law's position. From the beginning, they had the Yue family's business as a backing, and they were not the type who started from scratch.
Of course, the biggest difference between Zheng Daheng and Li Paopao is that Zheng Daheng and his wife are a loving couple who live together until old age, while Li Paopao gave his wife a Mingyue Tower.
In addition, the He family is directly living off illegal gambling. Fortunately, he is in a capitalist country. If he were in our mainland, he would have been shot eight hundred times.
The Huo family also went through the underworld, but they made a successful bet in the end. If the bald man was still in charge in the country, it’s hard to say whether he could have become one of the top ten richest people.
So if you want to gain a foothold in Hong Kong, you either have to have connections in the white world, such as your father-in-law Lao Taishan; or you have to have connections in the underworld, such as various social groups and the organization of defeated Korean soldiers.
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to make a name for themselves in Hong Kong and make a lot of money in Hong Kong. Even the four kings of the entertainment industry were forced to shoot erotic films with guns pointed at their heads.
Lin Sanqi continued to worry:
"So, I don't worry about the technology or the capital when it comes to opening a pharmaceutical factory. I'm just worried about whether the surname Lin will still be there after we run the factory. Besides, I'm safe in the mainland, so it doesn't matter. But you, Uncle Five and Uncle Six, living in Hong Kong, could be targeted at any time. What if an out-of-control dump truck shows up mid-sentence? Bang~~~"
Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu were frightened.
They have been in contact with more gang members during this period and have heard a lot about the underworld. Too many wealthy people without any background have ended up in a miserable way, which is no joke.
Uncle Lin thought of someone at this time:
"Xiao Qi, among our Lin clan, there's a grandfather who's already a Justice of the Peace. He's quite prestigious, even though he's five generations removed from us. How about we go and ask him to give us some shares so he can be our backer?"
Lin Sanqi still shook his head slowly:
"We're five generations apart, how much affection can there be for our hometown? Furthermore, our ancestral hall has been destroyed. Without the clan leader's control, how much affection can such relatives have? Hong Kong people only care about money, not people. When our pharmaceutical factory becomes profitable and we can make a lot of money, trouble will arise.
Believe it or not, as a local JP, he first wanted a 10% or 20% stake, then 30% or 40%. Finally, he had a controlling stake and could kick us out and make it his private property. He then bullied us mainlanders. Who could we turn to for justice?
Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu were scratching their heads:
"So what should we do? This won't work, that won't work. We can't just sit there and watch such a great opportunity to make money slip away, right?"
After all, Lin Sanqi was still young and had never experienced the harshness of society, so he couldn't think of a good solution for a while.
Similarly, if the entire Lin family moved to Hong Kong five years later, how would they protect the same people? How would they protect their pharmaceutical factory assets? This, too, was a seemingly unsolvable headache.
In the words of Uncle Lin Liu, is it really not going to develop? Do we know how to make money but not make it?
Lin Sanqi may not love money, but he does not stop others from loving money.
"How about this, Fifth Uncle and Sixth Uncle? I'll give you some money first. You can slowly prepare for the preliminary work of opening a pharmaceutical factory, such as purchasing land, building a new factory, and so on. After the factory is built, you can conduct trial production, but don't go into full production. Everything will be decided after we arrive in Hong Kong."
Uncle Lin Wu was a little surprised:
"Building a pharmaceutical factory costs a lot of money. Why don't we rent one? Buying it would be a much bigger investment. Given our family's situation..."
"Uncle Wu, listen to me. We have to tighten our belts and buy this. The land in Hong Kong is increasing rapidly every year. It's possible that our pharmaceutical factory's profits will not be as much as the annual increase in land prices. If we miss this opportunity, the full payment will become a down payment. So buying land is a good deal."
Although the land prices in Hong Kong have experienced ups and downs, the overall trend is skyrocketing. More than ten acres of industrial land can be sold for hundreds of millions, which is very exaggerated.
We don’t have to build the pharmaceutical factory, but we have to buy the land.
Uncle Lin nodded, apparently convinced by his nephew: "That makes sense, it's just this money..."
Uncle Lin Wu glanced at the two of them and then said:
"Qizi, let's not worry about anything else. If you invest money and contribute the secret recipe, you'll get 60% of the shares, and your fifth uncle and I will each get 20%."
Lin Sanqi had no objection to this assignment, so he nodded:
"Okay, let's split it this way for now. We can adjust it later. I'll go get the money first."
Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu were both shocked: "Qizi, don't do anything rash. Robbing a bank is illegal."
Lin Sanqi was furious after hearing this: "Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, I'm doing legitimate business, okay?"
After nightfall, Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye slept in the same room again.
The fifth and sixth aunts liked Pan Ye very much and knew that she was a well-behaved girl. In order to prevent her from being eaten by Lin Sanqi before marriage, the two aunts specially let Lin Sanqi's cousin sleep with her.
But tonight Lin Sanqi didn't feel like knocking on his girlfriend's door in the middle of the night. He stood in front of the platform, looking at a huge light box advertisement on the street outside, and thought of the best way to make some cash.
This is an advertisement for jewelry giant De Beers. The advertisement pattern is a huge diamond and the slogan is "A diamond is forever".
Translated into Chinese, almost everyone knows it: Bricks and stones are forever, and a heart will be passed down forever.
This slogan is not only well-known in English, but has also achieved great success in the Chinese market.
Through the clever translation of "A diamond is forever", it successfully conveyed the symbolic meaning of diamonds as love and commitment, becoming a classic among classics and defrauding generations of people of their money.
The raw materials for bricks and stones are mainly controlled by the De Beers family and the Judah Consortium. The two companies jointly control more than 90% of the world's brick and stone supply. It can be said that they are making so much money that their hands are cramping.
Foreign capital can make money through diamonds, so Lin Sanqi certainly doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
Anyway, bricks and stones are toys for the rich, so Lin Sanqi has no burden at all about cheating the rich.
As for where the bricks and stones came from? Lin Sanqi in 1960 might have had no idea, but Lin Sanqi in 2013 could easily get diamonds.
And we can provide as much as you want, and as big as you want... (End of this chapter)
