Lin Sanqi didn't even need to buy a train ticket to go to Hong Kong, nor did he need to go through customs. He just needed to activate the golden finger and pass through a "channel space" to reach Temple Street in Hong Kong directly.
After arriving in Hong Kong, it is natural to change out of the local clothes from the mainland.
Lin Sanqi wore a Burberry short-sleeved shirt and shorts suit with a pair of classic flip-flops.
When he first came to Hong Kong, there were not many patients at the Lingnan Hall Chinese Medicine Clinic, and it seemed a bit deserted.
But when he came this time, he found that the entrance of the Chinese medicine clinic was very lively. There was a long row of cars parked, and people came out from time to time with medicine bags.
The clinic has also been renovated, from the original three stores to nine stores. In fact, two stores were directly converted into "ready-made medicine shops" to sell medicines to the outside world.
Lin Sanqi knew this because his fifth and sixth uncles had told him before that the four secret recipe medicines he provided were selling very well, and the bustling scene now should be due to people seeking medicine.
The appearance of their little nephew made Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu overjoyed again.
"Qizai, you're here, haha. By the way, you came alone this time?"
Lin Sanqi supported an uncle with one hand and said with a smile:
"Fifth Uncle and Sixth Uncle, I have good news for you. My parents, my eldest brother's family, and my second brother's family, our whole family will be coming to Hong Kong in a month."
When Uncle Lin Wu heard this, he quickly pulled Lin Sanqi into the office and closed the door tightly:
"Did your dad make some mistake? Why did he suddenly come to Hong Kong? Will he be unable to escape?"
"Don't worry, my dad came to Hong Kong with special approval from his superiors. He didn't make any mistakes. It's just that our Lingnan Hall's business is getting better and better, and we need to set up a pharmaceutical factory. My dad had experience in Huadu, and I wanted him to come and take charge of the work."
When Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu heard this, they showed joy on their faces:
"Okay, okay, big brother is finally coming. I haven't seen him in 12 years."
"Haha, now that big brother is here, we have a backbone. Our medical skills are no match for big brother's."
Lin Sanqi observed the expressions of the two uncles and saw that they were genuinely happy, which reduced his vigilance a lot.
A dragon has nine sons, each one is different. No wonder his father ignored the other uncles and instead sent the fifth and sixth sons to Hong Kong.
"By the way, Qizi, which smuggling route did your parents take to get here? We need to be prepared. The Hong Kong Coast Guard is very strict right now. Not only can they not swim across, but even if they did, they wouldn't be able to get out of the New Territories and would be deported immediately."
Lin Sanqi looked up information and knew about the largest waves of escapes to Hong Kong in history.
Of course, there are countermeasures to every policy, and there are human traffickers between the two places.
As long as you pay enough membership fees, you can take a smuggling boat to Hong Kong. After arriving in Hong Kong, there will be special people who arrange a car to take you to the city to ensure that you can get a household registration.
But the prerequisite is that you have to have money and gold to pay the commission. Just based on this point, most ordinary people in the country cannot do it.
Lin Sanqi waved his hand:
"My parents and my older brothers don't need to sneak through the border. They can go through Bao'an normally. However, after they go through customs, you will need to greet them here. I will also accompany them."
"Okay, okay, then we have to prepare housing here too. Oh, no, no, this house originally belonged to your father."
At this moment, he heard the sound of a machine starting upstairs, which surprised Lin Sanqi:
"What's going on upstairs?"
Lin Hongcan chuckled, "We've renovated Building No. 3 and are temporarily using it as our pharmaceutical factory, specializing in producing secret formula medicines for the clinic..."
Uncle Lin was about to make some introductions when three people in flowered shirts suddenly walked in from the door.
Lin Sanqi saw these three young men with afros, frog-eye glasses, and a shaky gait. Even a fool could tell that they were gang members.
When Uncle Lin Wu saw the person coming, he sighed, put on a smile and walked out. Then he nodded and bowed to the three men in flowered shirts and said something.
Lin Sanqi pointed and said, "Sixth Uncle, what are the identities of these three people? Are they from the Hei Shehui or the Urban Management Brigade?"
Uncle Lin smiled bitterly and said, "They're the henchmen from the Sun Yee On here, here to collect protection money. Our Chinese medicine clinic used to pay 500 Hong Kong dollars a month, but now that we've opened a pharmaceutical factory, we have to pay 2,000 Hong Kong dollars a month."
"2,000 yuan? That much?"
Now the monthly salary of ordinary citizens in Hong Kong is between 200 and 300 yuan. The protection fee of 2,000 yuan may not seem like much, but it is enough for the clinic to hire eight or nine ordinary workers.
"2,000 yuan is the fixed monthly amount. We have to pay extra for the birthdays of their leaders and for community celebrations. Also, if there's a fight between the Sun Yee On and others, we have to pay extra for the cleaning fee. In short, they ask for money in all sorts of ways."
Lin Sanqi wouldn't be so stupid as to ask why you didn't report it to the police?
Hong Kong in the 1960s was the era of the Four Inspectors, and it was also the darkest time. In those days, if you called 110, the person who answered the phone might be someone who was trying to blackmail you.
Through the glass, Lin Sanqi saw Uncle Wu take out an envelope and stuff it into the hands of the three gangsters, and then the three men whistled and left.
When Uncle Wu came back, Lin Sanqi hesitated to speak: "Uncle Wu, just now..."
Uncle Lin waved his hand:
"This is very common in Hong Kong. Apart from the wealthy and powerful, anyone who wants to open a shop cannot escape their extortion. If we want to open a large pharmaceutical factory in the future, these gang members will come and ask for a stake."
The societies at that time were so arrogant that they didn’t dare to touch the truly wealthy families.
But they want to interfere in any business of ordinary people who have no background or connections.
For example, if the Lin family wants to buy land to set up a pharmaceutical factory, gang members may come to your pharmaceutical factory just as it starts to get started, and ask for a 30% stake in it.
If you give it to them, everyone will be happy, and they will be your protective umbrella in the future.
Don't give it? The pharmaceutical factory can't continue to operate. All kinds of disgusting things happen every day, forcing you to close the factory.
Lin Sanqi remembered, "Oh, Uncle Fifth and Uncle Six, when I came to Hong Kong last time, I left some US dollars for you to choose a location for the pharmaceutical factory. Have you chosen yet?"
Uncle Lin Wu took Lin Sanqi to a map of Hong Kong, pointed to a place and said:
"Last time, you asked us to find a place far from the village that could accommodate two to three thousand people living and working. So your sixth uncle and I commissioned an agent to search for a long time and finally found two places. We're waiting for you to decide which one to choose."
Uncle Lin pointed to the northwest corner of Kowloon, a place called Tsuen Wan.
"This place is called Lianhua Mountain. There used to be a private school here, but it's now closed. The school is surrounded by mountains, and the nearest residential area is 3 kilometers away. It's also not far from the pier, only about 10 kilometers away.
The advantage is that it's about 20 kilometers from Kowloon City, and can be reached in half an hour by car. But there are also disadvantages, such as a lack of seclusion. At the foot of the mountain is the Tsuen Wan industrial and residential area, which is crowded and crowded.
Uncle Lin Wu clicked on the upper right corner of the map again, and saw a protruding area similar to a peninsula.
"There's another place a bit further away, called Lai Chi Wo, in the eastern New Territories, near Mirs Bay. To the north is Sha Tau Kok, just a few kilometres from the mainland. There's not a single household within a 10-kilometre radius; it's completely isolated.
There used to be a resort hotel here, but because it's too remote and lacks customer traffic, it's being sold. I visited once and it can easily accommodate two to three thousand people. The existing conference hall and banquet hall could be converted into a pharmaceutical factory.
When Lin Sanqi saw this place, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Because this place called Lizhiwo is actually very close to the Shenzhen Yantian Port in later generations, with a straight-line distance of no more than 5 kilometers.
"Uncle Wu, this place is Sha Tau Kok, right?"
The famous "Sino-British Street" is Sha Tau Kok, so Lin Sanqi was particularly impressed.
"Yes, Sha Tau Kok is here, but there's a bay between it and Lai Chi Wo, so we have to go around Sparrow Ridge."
"Uncle Wu and Uncle Liu, let's go to these two places tomorrow to take a look and decide which one to buy."
"Okay!" (End of this chapter)
