Chapter 002: The Decline of the Wealthy

Lin Jianqi also found that his memory is surprisingly good now, and things that he once had no impression of also appeared clearly in his mind. Just now he was a little curious about the experience of this wealthy young man, but as a result, memories kept popping up in his head, and even the conversation of his parents during the full moon was extremely clear.

His grandfather Lin Baiye is a well-known banker in Hong Kong, but his heirs are scarce, and his only son is his father Lin Jiannian, the father of the wealthy young master. But Lin Jiannian has two children, namely the eldest son Lin Xiaoyi (27 years old) and the second son Lin Xiaoqi (16 years old).

His eldest brother Lin Xiaoyi has a gentle temperament, studied in the United Kingdom, and returned to Hong Kong with a master's degree in finance from Oxford University, and now follows his father as an assistant to the president.

Lin Xiaoqi was born in Hong Kong on February 15, 1961, and was born to Lin Jiannian's new wife Chen Shaohua, ten years after the death of his ex-wife.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Xiaoqi, who is excellent in character and learning, should be very favored as the eldest in the family, and must have an enviable happy childhood, but in fact it is the opposite, his mother worked hard to marry into a wealthy family in Kowloon, and only knew that he and his relatives would make profits all day long, and even his son's pocket money was not let go, and he was wiped out in the name of helping him save up, and his father Lin Jiannian and his grandfather Lin Baixin were busy with banking affairs all day long and were indifferent to him, and the Lin family only brought him up as a housekeeper Fu Bo regarded him as his own and loved him very much.

Lin Xiaoqi, who lacked family warmth and love, wanted to change all this and get the love of his relatives, and Fu Bo persuaded him that as long as he studied well, he could change everyone's opinion of him, which made Lin Xiaoqi shout to study early, and then he forgot to sleep and eat to spend all his energy on his studies.

It's a pity that Lin Xiaoqi didn't know that his parents snubbed him and had another hidden secret, his father Lin Jiannian had a good relationship in Singapore in his early years, because he wanted to marry into a wealthy family, he gave birth to a son for him despite Lin Jiannian's opposition, but he didn't want to be known by his wife Chen Shaohua, who was pregnant with a big belly, and went to the door with a big belly。

Lin Jianmin, who woke up afterwards, regretted it, but it was too late to regret his mistake, so he was obsessed with this matter, and before Chen Shaohua was happy, he had a premature birth, this Lin Jianmin's illegitimate son died, but Lin Xiaoqi was born on the same day, and the uneasy Lin Jianmin couple thought that Lin Xiaoqi was the reincarnation of the illegitimate son to collect debts from them, coupled with his premature height and the appearance of the two very different, so even if Lin Xiaoqi did well, Lin Jiannian and his wife were also perfunctory to his son, and they were even more distant from Lin Xiaoqi who was obsessed with the past。

In this environment, Lin Xiaoqi's childhood became a coffee table, full of "cups", in vain in front of his relatives, repeatedly suffered setbacks and hit the wall, and slowly developed Lin Xiaoqi's withdrawn character, and only occasionally smiled when he was around Fubo and went to Chongde College to watch students play basketball.

Lin Jianqi had just received some information about the original owner of this body, and after he slowly straightened it out, he already had some understanding of the family background of this wealthy young master.

The ancestral home of the Lin family is Chaozhou, Guangdong, and the ancestor Lin Xianzhi was born as a silver number, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, he was a family with the number one in Chaozhou. Lin Xianzhi has a total of thirteen sons, and his grandfather Lin Baiye ranks fifth. On the eve of the Battle of Crossing the River in 1949, the Lin Baiye brothers saw that the civil war in China might escalate, so they reluctantly fled south with the fine soft, and finally settled in Hong Kong.

In 1951, Lin Baiye found that the refugees who fled south to Hong Kong brought a lot of precious antique calligraphy and paintings, but in order to make a living and sold them at a low price, feeling that there was a business opportunity to take advantage of, so he took out all his savings to set up a pawnshop, and since then it has been out of control, and by the time of 62 years, he already owned millions of furniture, and in the mid-sixties, he recruited a few friends to establish the 'Kowloon Bank'.

The development of the Bank of Kowloon was not all smooth sailing, but under the painstaking management of two generations of his grandfather Lin Baiye and his father Lin Jiannian, by the end of 75 years, it had become a small licensed bank with an annual profit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars and a market value of more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the 60s, there was serious social corruption during the period of the four major Chinese detectives in Hong Kong, and Liu Furong's "500 Million Inspector Lei Luo" is based on this period as the background of the times.

Lu Le joined the Hong Kong Police Force in the 40s, starting as a uniformed police officer, and worked his way up to the chief inspector of Hong Kong Island, and in the 60s, he led the CID of Hong Kong, and was the first of the four major detectives. In 1969, Lu Le, who was in full swing, unexpectedly washed his hands and retreated into the background. By the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1974, Lu Le, who heard the news, immediately left Hong Kong and moved to Canada, according to the ICAC investigation at that time, Lu Le's net worth exceeded 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Since Canada and Hong Kong belong to the same federal jurisdiction, the Hong Kong detective officials who fled to Canada would be in danger of being extradited back to Hong Kong at any time, so Lu Le left Canada again and took a large family to Taiwan to live his public life. In 1977, that is, this year, the Independent Commission Against Corruption issued a wanted warrant for Lu Le, and while freezing Lu Le's assets, the 'Kowloon Bank', which was deeply involved with Lu Le, was affected, and a number of companies related to Lu Le suffered bankruptcy, and the Kowloon Bank also had a large number of bad debts and dead debts.

At the beginning of this year, the news that many loans of the Kowloon Bank could not be recovered somehow spread. A large number of Hong Kong residents who have deposited money at the Bank of Kowloon are worried that they will not be able to withdraw their savings, so they are rushing to rush to withdraw them. Although this turmoil was finally able to survive under the flexible hands of the Lin family, in fact, the Bank of Kowloon has become an empty shelf that cannot recover a large amount of foreign debts, and even if the bankrupt companies are auctioned off by the judiciary, the Bank of Kowloon will be greatly damaged.

"Hmph......" The old man Lin Baiye was really angry, and said coldly: "Remember my good, yes, their family really has to remember my good." When you got married, his family asked for a million gifts, so you should sell your daughter. Ah Nian, can you grow your brains? In the past few years, how many family properties have you transferred to her name behind my back?"

"I didn't ...... There is no ......" Lin Jiannian's face was a little unnatural, knowing that his son was Mo Ruo's father, Lin Baiye snorted coldly, in the end, Fu Bo was present, and he hadn't embarrassed his only son too much.

"It's a good thing that your wife is smart, but if you keep playing tricks and putting your money in your pocket, you'll have to have a good brain!"

"Dad, I see. I'll get that piece of land back when I get back!"

"No need!" Lin Baiye frowned, "It's a drop in the bucket to have that piece of land, accompany me to Lao Qi in a few days, and borrow a sum of money from him when I talk about filial piety!"

"Yes, we should have gone to Uncle Seven's house a long time ago. Lin Jiannian hurriedly nodded.

Lin Baiye's identity is unusual, his surname is Lin, his full name is Lin Baixin, and now he is at the helm of the Lin family in Chaozhou, and he is on the list of Hong Kong's richest people just evaluated by the Hong Kong media at the beginning of this year, and he is among them, with family assets of more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. Lin Baixin also has an identity, that is, Lin Baiye's half-brother.

"This is Hong Kong in 1977?"

Lin Xiaoqi didn't know that he was about to become a victim of the family, and his whole body was trembling with excitement, full of excitement and excitement, because he had already confirmed to the servant that he had really crossed over.

Lin Jianqi was so excited that he couldn't help himself, rummaging around the room for "inheritance" , but found that his wealthy family is just bright on the outside, in fact, he is very poor, the Belle Philippe watch on his left hand is valuable, but this is his façade, and it is something given to him by his grandfather Lin Baixin, he decided not to sell it, all his savings turned out to be only about 100 Hong Kong dollars, recalled, Lin Jianqi knew that his private money was taken away by his mother Chen Menghua in the name of his accumulation, with the other party's greedy character, it was impossible for him to come back, which made Lin Jianqi feel annoyed.

Raising his eyes to see the basketball hoop fixed on the wall at the door, Lin Jianqi, who was annoyed, hooked up the basketball at his feet and received it in his hand, and threw it out, and suddenly, the basketball was thrown into the basket in response, which made Lin Jianqi a little surprised, he likes to play basketball, and he used to be a center of the school team when he was studying, and the dunk level is naturally not low, but the three-point shot at this distance is obviously his weakness, Lin Jianqi flipped through his memory to know that the original owner of this body liked to go to Chongde College to watch his favorite girls play basketball when he was a child, and he liked to throw blue balls far away when he was idle。

If you are desperate, you can still go to the NBA, just rely on this three-point shot, but now basketball is not very popular, don't even think about it for the time being.

Lin Jianqi threw a thick stack of newspapers on the bed, flipped through them for two hours, he really didn't want to read the newspaper anymore, the information on it couldn't help him much at all, looked at the time on the watch, nine o'clock was over, Lin Jianqi's Belle Feida watch in his left hand was changed to his right hand, and he simply clicked and turned on the TV.

Many people don't know that there is a Shenmen acupoint on the left wrist of a person, which belongs to the Hand Shaoyin Heart Sutra, which is located in the wrist, the ulnar end of the striated stria on the palmar side of the wrist, and the radial depression of the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon. If it hurts the Shenmen acupoint, it will cause heartache, upset, palpitations, dazedness, forgetfulness, insomnia, dementia, epilepsy and other mental and mental diseases. Later generations who knew this and paid attention to health would not wear a watch or bracelet on their left wrist.
