Lin Sanqi handed over all the tedious tasks of building a new industrial park and power plant, preparing for the Baoan Pharmaceutical Factory and two universities to his godfather Shen Guomin.
Shen Guomin's specific position is: Director of Bao'an County Economic Development Zone, the top leader, and he is in charge of the area west of the Kowloon-Canton Railway.
In the following days, Lin Sanqi served as Director Shen's "driver" every day, accompanying him to coordination meetings in various units.
As Lin Sanqi expected, Shen Guoming got started quickly and immediately sorted out his work ideas. Each meeting was to solve one problem after another.
All Lin Sanqi needs to do is get the purchase list and provide the supplies according to the requirements.
Seeing that the situation was almost settled, Lin Sanqi crossed the Luohu Port and headed towards Hong Kong.
In a small Western-style building on Temple Street.
Lin Sanqi had his ear pressed against his wife Pan Ye's belly, feeling the occasional movements of the baby inside.
Pan Ye also touched her husband's head happily, her eyes full of happiness.
At this time, Pan Ye had been pregnant for more than 6 months, and her belly had obviously grown several sizes bigger.
Jin Caifeng looked at her son like this and scolded him with a smile:
"You, stop being so busy with work and come visit Xiao Yezi more often. You're really not a qualified husband."
Lin Sanqi's head left his wife's belly, and he turned up the temperature of the air conditioner. Then he said helplessly:
"I can't help it. Such a big county, such a big industrial park, all rely on me to support it all. I can't leave at any time. Fortunately, I have tricked my godfather into coming here, otherwise I would be even busier.
But Mom, Xiaoye, don't worry. Once this industrial zone is completed, even if our family only takes 10%, I estimate that the dividends will be more than hundreds of millions of dollars a year. So this is to build a family fortune for our children."
Jin Caifeng became interested when she heard about earning inheritance for her descendants.
"Hey, Qizi, this industrial park is your sole proprietorship. How can you only get 10% when the profits are distributed? You silly boy, aren't you just making things easier for them? It would be better to build it in Hong Kong."
Lin Sanqi chuckled, knowing that except for his father, everyone else in the family would probably be confused.
After all, how can you run a business like this? Whoever invests more will definitely get more shares.
"Mom, money is good, but we have to live to protect it. Just like when we first arrived in Hong Kong, the underworld came knocking on our door. If I hadn't been prepared, our family would have been destroyed.
I cooperate with the mainland, firstly to help the country earn some money, and by the way, to improve the level of domestic science and technology and medicine.
Another major purpose is to make the country the biggest backer of our Lin family. As long as we are united with the country, no one in Hong Kong will dare to touch us easily, not even the Hong Kong Eagle Government will dare to confiscate our property at will."
When Jin Caifeng heard the phrase "Hey Society", she suddenly remembered something:
"Qizai, we've already made inquiries. If nothing unexpected happens, the last time Hey Society attacked us, it was under the instigation of the Gushengtang Chinese Medicine Clinic."
Lin Sanqi had forgotten about this, but now that he remembered it, his eyes narrowed.
"Is there any evidence?"
"There's no evidence, but we've inquired and found out that only Gushengtang in Kowloon is hostile to us. Their boss, Geng Yunxiang, once threatened that Lingnantang should go back to where they came from.
But after the bombing of Anle Hall last time, the people from Gusheng Hall stopped saying a bad word about us at Lingnan Hall. They're obviously scared. Your father analyzed it and said it was almost certain that the Gusheng Hall people were responsible."
Lin Sanqi snorted softly: "These people have already met their end."
Jin Caifeng quickly advised:
"Qizi, please don't mess around. He's a local tyrant. We live in peace now, so there's no need to provoke him. At least you have to do good deeds for the son in your belly."
Speaking of his son, Lin Sanqi suddenly became curious:
"Is it a son or a daughter? You can test it now."
Pan Ye is a medical student and is a little curious, but she is no longer surprised by her husband's ability to come up with unexpected machines.
Jin Caifeng and her mother-in-law Ye Lanzhi's eyes lit up:
"Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl? Then what are you waiting for? Let's get tested quickly so we can prepare clothes and other things."
"Okay, wait a moment."
After a while, Lin Sanqi came over with a box and took out the medical equipment one by one.
"Mom, please draw the curtains."
While turning on the machine, Lin Sanqi applied coupling agent on the probe.
Pan Ye was also quite curious: "Sanqi, can you really tell the gender of a child?"
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "It's a simple thing. Just find the little penis between your legs. You're over six months old now, so it's easier to see."
Pan Ye was a little nervous. As a traditional woman, she would inevitably have worries. She thought that she must give birth to a son.
Ye Lanzhi and Jin Caifeng also clasped their hands together and bowed towards the sky. They probably had the same idea, which was to give birth to a son.
Lin Sanqi stared at the screen while moving the probe. After a long while, he suddenly chuckled.
Jin Caifeng immediately asked, "How is it? Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?"
Lin Sanqi was happy: "It's a girl, haha, I'm going to have a daughter~~~"
When Ye Lanzhi heard this, her nervous expression instantly collapsed: "Ah, why is it a daughter?"
Pan Ye's face was also filled with disappointment, and he forced a smile: "Daughter, daughter..."
Lin Sanqi saw the expressions of these three women and suddenly felt unhappy:
"What's wrong with having a daughter? I just like daughters. They will be daddy's little cotton-padded jackets in the future. I can't express how happy I am. Don't worry, Xiao Yezi. I've told you before that everyone is equal here, male or female."
The good thing about Pan Ye is that she trusts her husband unconditionally and is definitely a good girl.
"Well, as long as you don't mind, I will also make our daughter look beautiful."
Jin Caifeng also reacted at this time, and immediately smiled and comforted:
"Daughters are good. The first child is a daughter. In the future, the eldest sister can take care of the younger siblings. Just like when Xiao Yezi was in the capital, didn't she take good care of her younger siblings? Women are as good as men."
Ye Lanzhi was still worried, as she came from a wealthy family and had heard too many stories of conflicts between wives and concubines in wealthy families in Hong Kong during her time there.
In the early 1960s, it was still legal to take concubines in Hong Kong.
If the wife cannot give birth to a son, a family like the Lin family will definitely take in a concubine. If the concubine gives birth to a son and inherits the family property, what role will the mistress have?
This is not ancient times. In ancient times, there were legal restrictions. In this era, rituals and music have collapsed. Won't women without sons be bullied to death?
So he quickly defended his daughter and said:
"Yes, my mother-in-law is right. Back then, Xiaoye's father had tuberculosis and lost his ability to work. I had to work alone to support the family. My younger brothers and sisters were still young, so it was all up to Xiaoye to go to the ghost market in the middle of the night to exchange medicine and food.
One time, she exchanged for over 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes and carried them back from Deshengmen by herself. Oh my! Her clothes on both shoulders were completely torn and covered in blood. I felt so bad.
So it's fine to have a daughter as the first child, as long as she's filial. Besides, Xiaoqi and Xiaoye are still young, so we can have more children in the future. In the future, we can have three or four sons. Then, father and son will be united and become the richest man in Hong Kong."
Lin Sanqi grew up in a clan environment and also agreed to have a son.
So he smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Yezi and I will work hard in the future to have more sons. Our Lin family will build our own ancestral hall in Hong Kong in the future, and I can enjoy the smell of our ancestors' incense, haha."
Sons are important.
Whether for a country or for a large family business, not having a son is equivalent to not having an heir, which can easily lead to various instabilities.
Take the country for example. If the only son of Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty had not died young, how could he have allowed his elder brother, a student studying abroad in the Oirat Mongols, to become emperor again through the coup d'état?
It was because Emperor Jingtai's son died and he had no heir, so the throne would eventually return to the hands of his "nephew's" lineage.
So when the ministers saw that things were not going well, they immediately sided with Emperor Yingzong of Ming, which allowed the foreign student to turn the tables.
Not to mention recent examples, let’s take the Hong Kong tycoon Pao Yu-kong as an example. He only had four daughters.
In the end, his hundreds of billions of assets were given to his son-in-law and outsiders, and the Bao family ancestral hall was extinct.
Don’t say that daughters are also children, they are the same.
But in fact, sons-in-law and grandsons will not offer sacrifices to their grandparents. For southerners, not offering sacrifices after death and closing the ancestral hall are the greatest acts of filial piety.
Even though Lin Sanqi is a modern person, he still believes in having a son, even if it is for the future stability of the Lin Group. (End of this chapter)
