When Lin Jianqi returned to the Lin Mansion in Kowloon, it was almost evening.

"Young Master Sun, Young Master asked me to inform you, go to the Lin family in Chaozhou tonight!" Handing over the suit to the servant, Lin Jianqi had just unbuttoned a collar, and he was still not used to wearing the old-fashioned board man's suit, Fu Bo came over and said.

"Grandpa Fu, I know!" Lin Jianqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression returned to nature without a trace, is this coming? The soldiers will come and let it be.

The Ford sedan slowly drove across the Tsing Yi Bridge and stayed past Tsing Yi Park, when Lin Xiaozhi withdrew his gaze from the car window and looked at the old man sitting next to him.

This is an old man whose beard and hair have completely turned silver-white, the past years have left too many marks on his body, and his eyes that should have been clear have become cloudy, but their eyes are still smart, reminiscent of Huang Zhong who is old and old. The powerful hands that had personally laid down the hundreds of millions of industries of the Jiulong Lin family in the past are still holding on to crutches, this is not the first time Lin Xiaoqi has seen him, but it is the first time he has looked at him seriously at close range.

This old man is his grandfather Lin Baiye, he was born in 1907 in modern times, and it is also the 33rd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, the 40th year of the Meiji Era, and the 19th year of Yuelan Chengtai. Lin Baiye, who is 70 years old, has entered the age of antiquity.

"What's wrong, Qi Zai?"

Feeling the gaze from the side, Lin Baiye turned his face and asked. He is very paternalistic and has always been unsmiling at home, which has caused his son and two grandchildren to be afraid of him. He has complicated feelings for Lin Xiaoqi, the youngest grandson, and he should have gathered when his children and grandchildren were happy under his knees. Whenever he heard Laifu, who had been with him for decades, mention the topic of his grandson being coquettish with him when he went home to visit relatives, Lin Baiye's heart was envious.

"No, grandpa. I'm thinking, why are they all relatives, why don't I have any impression of this seventh uncle? ”

Leaning his head on the back seat, Lin Jianqi squinted his eyes and casually found an excuse to prevaricate.

Lin Baiye's hand holding the cane tightened slightly, and the car was quiet for a while before he heard him say slowly: "...... Actually, it's nothing, after so many years, I still can't get through that knot, but it seems too petty. Qi Zai, do you know the origin of our Lin family? ”

Lin Xiaoqi's heart moved, and a piece of past history about the Lin family appeared in his head.

The Lin family was originally a branch of a large Chaozhou family, and it was just an ordinary dilapidated family until the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that Lin Xiaoqi's great-grandfather Lin Xianzhi began to make money and quotation marks, and the Lin family began to gradually prosper. Lin Xianzhi has a total of thirteen children, his grandfather Lin Baiye is the fifth, and Lin Baixin is the seventh.

The two were not born to the same mother, so the relationship is not good when they are young. Especially in the Chaoshan culture, which attaches importance to the "eldest son of the long house", Lin Baiye, who was born in the long house, inherited a family property from his father when he became an adult, but Lin Baixin, who was born in the house, received very little family property. This kind of differential treatment between the concubine and the concubine also intensified the contradiction between the Lin family and their brothers.

When Lin Baiye relied on inheriting the inheritance and living a luxurious life with several other concubines. Lin Baixin and a few other brothers were unable to work hard in order to survive because they couldn't share any family property.

After all, Lin Baixin's current net worth is completely based on hard work and simplicity.

This information quickly turned in Lin Xiaoqi's head before he replied: "Fu Bo mentioned that our ancestors originated in Chaozhou, and they are a local family with names and surnames!" ”

Lin Baiye nodded, but his eyes were a little gloomy. When he lived a rich life with his share of the family property, Lin Baixin was still struggling for a full meal. When he was worth tens of millions, Lin Baixin was still running orders everywhere. Decades have passed in a blink of an eye, and no one would have thought that the poor brothers in the past would now be able to enter the ranks of Hong Kong's top wealthy families with more than 2 billion family assets.

“…… We have something to ask for tonight, Archie, and no matter what you hear, don't contradict it, you know? Lin Jianmin next to him admonished.

"I see, Daddy!" Lin Jianqi nodded in response, and glanced at Lin Jiannian, who was well-dressed and expressionless, with cold eyes, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.

The Chaozhou Lin family can be regarded as a top wealthy family in Hong Kong, just because the Lin family has produced a remarkable figure - Lin Baixin, who has been self-made for more than 30 years and has laid a huge foundation.

Like most of Hong Kong's wealthy, Lam bought a mansion in Deep Water Bay and added properties in many places in Hong Kong. At the beginning of this year, due to the construction of a mansion in Deep Water Bay, Lin Baixin's family temporarily moved to a villa on Tsing Yi Island.

Lin Baixin's favorite is Lin Jianle, the second son born to the second room, who was sent out to study at the age of 13, and is now studying in middle school in Canada.

For example, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties was sitting on his right hand at this time!

Lin Jianming, who was square-faced, looked like he had a warm smile on his face all the time, but his eyes were cold, and from time to time he fell on the opposite sofa, holding a bowl of ginseng stewed chicken soup, and was feeding Lin Baixin to drink. The woman who looked only a few years older than him was Lin Baixin's second room, his second mother, and Lin Jianle's biological mother.

In ancient China, there was a habit of having a group of wives and concubines, and this custom was especially common in wealthy families. Lin Baixin was born in a Teochew silver family, and his father Lin Xianzhi also has a wife and four concubines, many porters, and Hong Kong did not prohibit polygamy before the 70s, so he is not exempt from vulgarity.

Lin Baixin and Lai Yuanfang are beautiful women, and her grandfather is Lai Jixi, the founder of the Department of Chinese at the University of Hong Kong. Lai Yuanfang and Lin Baixin were in the same year, the two got married at the age of 20, and gave birth to their eldest son Lin Jianming and eldest daughter Lin Shuying. However, this wife, who shared his joys and sorrows, was not able to share his wealth and prosperity.

As Lin Baixin's business grew bigger and bigger, he gradually began to get bored with his wife Lai Yuanfang, so in the early fifties, he married another room, which was Yu Baozhu, the daughter of Hong Kong's veteran textile king Yu Qingan.

Lin Baixin inherited several garment factories and a large number of industries from Yu Qing'an through marriage, and Yu Baozhu was familiar with it, and helped Lin a lot in business, so since she passed the door, Lin Baixin doted on her in every way, and finally led to Lai Yuanfang and him agreeing to separate in the early 60s, which is more than ten years.
