Over the next few days, the family enjoyed their time in Yangon, Myanmar.
They immersed themselves in the local culture, tasted authentic Burmese cuisine, and visited ancient temples and beautiful scenery.
At the hotel, they met several upper-class local families in Myanmar. These people were hospitable and formed a deep friendship with Song Lin's family.
Lin Chengyu demonstrated her excellent business acumen and interpersonal skills.
He skillfully reached cooperation agreements with these new friends.
They provided Songlin International Trading Company with some high-quality jadeite rough, various gemstones, and a variety of precious woods.
These resources will be transported to Hong Kong to supply major real estate companies. At the same time, Song Lin can also take this opportunity to establish a real estate company and a furniture factory, further expanding the scale of the Song Lin Group.
Lin Chengyu possessed a unique eye and discerning eye for jade and various gemstones. He carefully selected the best pieces for his wife, while supplying the other gemstones of ordinary quality to major jewelry companies in Hong Kong.
His decision reflects both his pursuit of quality and his wisdom in business cooperation.
In his early years, he lived in the alleyways of Shanghai, making a living by collecting recyclables. It was a difficult time, but it was this experience that forged his will and perseverance.
In those days and nights, he would get up early every day, push a dilapidated tricycle, and travel through the streets and alleys of Shanghai.
His truck was loaded with all sorts of scrap: old newspapers, broken metal, empty bottles...
His job is to collect these waste products and send them to a recycling station in exchange for a meager income.
Although life was tough, he learned a lot from it.
He learned how to identify the value of various types of waste, how to deal with all kinds of people, and how to persevere in adversity.
During his career in scrap metal collecting, he met a collector named Gu Santong.
Gu Santong was a mysterious figure. He often wore a long robe and glasses, and looked very learned.
He often came to Lin Chengyu's scrap yard to buy antiques, and sometimes he would chat with Lin Chengyu.
He told Lin Chengyu that these antiques were collected from various places, and each one had its own history and value.
He also taught Lin Chengyu some knowledge about antiques, giving him a deeper understanding of them.
Lin Chengyu was very grateful for Gu Santong's guidance, and he thought Gu Santong was a very capable person.
He learned a lot from Gu Santong, not only about antiques, but also about life principles.
Gu Santong told him that life is like an antique, and everyone has their own value and history. As long as you appreciate it with your heart, you can discover its beauty.
Later, Gu Santong realized that the situation was not right, so he sold his family property and went abroad early.
As for where he is now, Lin Chengyu doesn't know.
However, he always had a wish in his heart: to find Gu Santong one day and repay him for the guidance he had given him when he was a child.
He felt that although Gu Santong did not have the title of master, he was in fact a master to him.
He hopes to have the opportunity to see Gu Santong again and express his gratitude to him.
Lin Chengyu knew this was a very slim hope. But he believed that as long as he persevered, it would come true one day.
He believed that Gu Santong must still remember him and was waiting for him somewhere.
Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Lin Chengyu immediately attempted to locate the ancient Three Links.
He wandered through the antique streets of Hong Kong, inquiring about the ancient Three Links, but to no avail.
Lin Chengyu understood that Gu Santong might have already left Hong Kong and gone abroad.
He was very disappointed because, apart from his grandparents, Gu Santong was the best person to him in his life.
Of course, the Song family couple treated him well. Otherwise, given that Song Ziqing had directly ruined their engagement in his previous life, he wouldn't have just punished her after being reborn; he would have directly retaliated by having her captured by the Wang family.
Even after being reborn, he still couldn't forget the kindness Gu Santong had shown him. During the days they spent together, Gu Santong always took meticulous care of him, taught him about antiques, and shared some life philosophies with him.
Lin Chengyu remembers one time when he accidentally fell and injured his knee. His parents didn't care much and just told him to apply some red medicine.
When Gu Santong heard that he was injured, he immediately ran over, took him to the hospital, and asked the doctor to bandage his wound.
He still remembers what the doctor said: if he hadn't come to the hospital, his knee might have gotten a serious infection, and he might have been left with long-term problems and become disabled.
Looking back now, he feels that Gu Santong saved his life.
That night, Lin Chengyu and Song Ziqing lay in bed. Lin Chengyu mentioned to Song Ziqing Gu Santong, the most important benefactor in his life. Song Ziqing laughed immediately: "Xiaoyu, just from the name of your master, you can tell he's a chivalrous and public-spirited person! He might be in Chinatown in countries like the UK or the US right now."
After all, even when we Chinese go abroad, we like to live in close-knit communities. As our businesses grow, we'll look for opportunities to expand in other countries; we can simply look for Chinatowns there.
Lin Chengyu laughed after hearing this, feeling that Song Ziqing's words made a lot of sense.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll work even harder to develop our Songlin Group so that we can expand it all over the world! I'll have to help you become the world's richest person in the future."
Lin Chengyu had always been determined to help Song Ziqing develop the Songlin Group, and she would be the major shareholder of all his companies. This condition would never change.
Song Ziqing shook his head repeatedly, his expression firm and unwavering, saying, "We can vigorously develop physical companies like Songlin Group, but financial companies and the like can no longer be developed directly in our name. We still need to learn from other financial professionals and register in places like the Cayman Islands abroad. We can't put all our eggs in one basket."
Her expression was serious, and a hint of worry was in her eyes.
She knows all too well the saying, "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind." Even if someone is the richest person in the world, or even the richest person in China, if they hold that title for too long, they will become a target for bad people.
As the saying goes, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down!"
Song Ziqing knew that in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, the biggest fear of the world's wealthy was being kidnapped, as this was a life-threatening situation.
Therefore, she still felt it was better to make her fortune quietly. Moreover, she least wanted to attract too much attention because of her wealth. Of course, she could accept attracting attention only because of her beauty.
