Chapter 501: Successfully Reaching Proper Placement
The two patrolmen received the bribe and were ready to leave, but Wang Jin raised a question:
"Excuse me, are there many mainland Chinese people visiting Lingnan Hall these days?"
One of the patrolmen laughed and said:
"At least we've encountered several groups of them. But don't worry, Doctor Lin from Lingnan Hall has already made an agreement with our director. As long as they have their ID cards, we won't make it difficult for them."
In fact, it was not an agreed-upon agreement. Instead, Uncle Lin gave the Chief of Yau Tsim Mong Police Station 50,000 yuan to buy them to turn a blind eye.
Otherwise, if the arrival of hundreds of strong mainlanders is reported, it will probably lead to suppression from the Hong Kong Eagle government.
Temple Street is the old city area, mostly surrounded by self-built houses, and a narrow road with shops on both sides.
Wang Jin and his companions finally found Lingnantang Chinese Medicine Clinic.
It was already 9 o'clock in the evening and the Chinese medicine clinic was closed, but the pharmacy next door was still open.
There is a particularly eye-catching light box advertisement at the door. In the advertisement, Lin Sanqi is wearing a suit, holding several packages of Chinese patent medicine in his hands, and smilingly recommending them to passers-by.
In fact, this was a secret code for contact. Lin Sanqi had appeared in the mainland and personally distributed tolls to veterans, so every veteran knew him.
When everyone saw this huge real-life advertising box, they immediately knew they had found the right person.
Huang Xiaoji said excitedly: "I found it. Look over there, that's a photo of Staff Officer Lin."
In fact, everyone has noticed this light box advertisement. It is hard not to notice it. This is the coolest thing on the whole street.
"Thank God, we're finally here, let's go!"
When Wang Jin and his companions walked into the pharmacy, two shop assistants stood up and asked, "Sir, would you like to buy medicine or see a doctor?"
"Hello, comrade. We're looking for your boss, the one with the advertisement on the light box at the door..."
"Oh, they're looking for our boss. He's upstairs. Ah Cheng, take them upstairs."
The clerk Ah Cheng led Wang Jin and others through the pharmacy, walked to the back door, and then took the stairs to the second floor.
There were two connected rooms on the second floor. Noodles and porridge were being cooked inside, as well as hot meat buns. There were already more than 20 people sitting in the room, all of them young and middle-aged, with the temperament of veterans at first glance.
Lin Sanqi and his son Lin Kushen were busy delivering food to everyone.
After Wang Jin and his companions entered the room, they quickly stood in a row, stood at attention, and saluted:
"Comrade Staff Officer Lin, I'm Wang Jin from Heping County. These nine are my comrades-in-arms and fellow townsmen: Lu Xuezhi, Zhao Jintao, Wang Can, Shi Nan, Liu Genchun, Xiao Yu, Fan Dengfeng, Huang Hua, and Huang Xiaoji. We've been ordered to report here!"
Lin Sanqi put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood at attention, and saluted:
"At ease."
"Now that everyone is relaxed, we are not just superiors and subordinates in Hong Kong, but also brothers. From now on, our Lin family and everyone else will be a community working together in a foreign land, and we will also become an important force for our motherland in Hong Kong.
So from now on, we won't address each other as superiors or subordinates. In Hong Kong, don't call me "Comrade Staff Officer," just call me "Little Boss." This is my father, and everyone should call him "Big Boss" from now on. Come on, come on, sit down. You've been tired all the way here, so have something to eat.
Lin Kucan and Lin Sanqi asked everyone to sit down while they were busy serving bowls of pork porridge from the rice cooker.
Wang Jin and his companions were actually really hungry. It took them a full seven days to get from Huadu to Lingnan Hall today. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had to sleep in the open air.
They are not real bandits who would kill without blinking an eye, rob, burn and do all kinds of evil.
So at most they would steal some food from the farmers in the New Territories, and before leaving they would put some Hong Kong dollars on the table, always remembering not to take a single needle or thread from the people.
Why is the money increasing? Well, it is naturally "given" by the gang members. When it comes to these hey society, they are not so polite.
First, they would ask where they were from. If they answered Chinese, they would be beaten and let go. If they answered American, they would go straight to the American God and their money would be taken away.
As soon as they sat down, they saw someone coming into the room. Lu Xuezhi smiled at the person next to him and said,
"Brother, which part is it from?"
Fan Jinchen smiled and replied, "Before retiring, I was in the 127th Division of the 65th Army. How about you guys?"
Lu Xuezhi said in surprise: "What a coincidence, we are from the same group to resist the US and aid Korea, but we are from the 132nd Division of the 68th Army."
Another person next to him laughed and said:
"At that time, your 68th Army was fighting on the eastern front, and our 65th Army was fighting on the central front. But we advanced faster, haha. By then, we had already taken Jeonju, but you still couldn't take Pohang."
"Ah, this is quite infuriating. Why are we so slow? The main reason is..."
Although everyone has retired, once they talk about their time in the army, they immediately become familiar with each other and start discussing it lively.
Lin Sanqi was happy to see that these people were in good spirits. His plan to become the king of the mountain was half successful.
That evening, after having supper, more than 30 veterans were secretly sent to the Lizhi Wo Resort Hotel in the northern New Territories under cover of darkness.
Qi Lianyong, the military instructor and second-in-command of the Lin Family Gang, was already waiting.
When the more than 30 veterans saw the shining resort hotel in the dark, they were all stunned and couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
"Wow, is this the legendary Crystal Palace?"
"How tall is this building? Wow, it's 14 stories high. The tallest building in our county is only 3 stories high."
"How many watts does a light bulb this bright use? 40 watts, right?"
Qi Lianyong found it funny to see the surprised looks on the faces of these veterans, and remembered how stupid he looked when he first came here.
"Everyone, stand at attention!"
Suddenly a loud shout was heard, and the strong conditioned reflex made these veterans stand at attention quickly!
"At ease!"
"Comrades, first of all, congratulations! After all the hardships, you've finally reached your destination. Let me introduce you to this place, called Litchi Wo. It's located in Hong Kong's New Territories, only 5 kilometers away from Bao'an County in our motherland. I estimate that a comrade with good speed can run there in half an hour."
Hehehe~~~ Many people wonder how many minutes they can run 5 kilometers now.
"The tall building behind you will be the home of our Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Factory. The two buildings in the middle and on the left are our dormitories. This is where we will work and fight in the future.
Boss Lin recruited us all to Hong Kong and offered us high salaries. In addition to producing medicine for the pharmaceutical factory, our more important responsibility is to protect the safety of the Lin family, and absolute safety. I hope everyone keeps this in mind.
Boss Lin said that since we're all new to Hong Kong, he'd give us a month to relax and learn some pharmaceutical techniques. But even though we're discharged, I think we should still hold ourselves to the highest standards of a soldier.
So I decided that every morning at 6 o'clock, we would all get up and run 10 kilometers along the coastline. Do you understand?"
"I understand~~~"
More than 30 people suddenly roared in unison, which scared Lin Sanqi. Fortunately, there were no residents within a radius of 10 kilometers, otherwise the noise made by these soldiers would have been impossible to hide.
"Okay, now disperse and feel free to explore. This will be our new home from now on, haha."
"Wuhu, let's go together~~"
The retired soldiers ran into the hotel lobby and began to tour the hotel freely.
Lin Sanqi called Qi Lianyong and Uncle Lin Liu, the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory, over:
"Lao Qi, Sixth Uncle, I received a telegram from home today. It's been over a month since I left, and they're urging me to return. But don't worry, if you have anything, just telegram me anytime and I'll come as quickly as possible."
Lin Sanqi has quietly bought a house in Tsim Sha Tsui and marked it so that he can pass through the "passageway space" to reach Hong Kong at any time, which is very convenient.
Even the Litchi Wo Resort Hotel is a property under his name. He has marked it in the East Building so that he can travel directly here in an emergency.
"Old Qi, the retired soldiers will arrive soon. As the regiment commander, I'll leave the training to you. Uncle Six, I've already put all the medicinal materials needed for the pharmaceutical factory in the warehouse. They'll be enough for half a year. If they're not enough, tell me."
If Uncle Wu wants to expand the pharmacy and open branches, that's up to you. Next, the pharmaceutical company will focus on making as much money as possible. This is the first step in a long journey, and we've already established a foothold in Hong Kong. This is a good start."
Qi Lianyong held Lin Sanqi's hand and solemnly promised:
"Boss, don't worry. I already know your true intentions. I will make sure your Lin family can train a group of excellent soldiers with explosive combat effectiveness."
Uncle Lin also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Qizi, our Chinese patent medicine is unique in Hong Kong. Next, we will not only occupy Hong Kong, but also prepare to expand to Taiwan and Southeast Asia."
The next day, Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye passed through Luohu Port and set out on the journey back to Beijing.
