Chapter 11 Return to Hong Kong
On January 1, 1969, Hong Kong, Ling Shizhe and Li Li returned to Hong Kong the day before yesterday, and he wanted to return to Hong Kong to reunite with his family on the New Year, which is a Chinese tradition, no matter where you are, you must come back as much as possible during the New Year to get together with your family.
This is a characteristic of traditional Chinese festivals, all traditional festivals in China have a characteristic, that is, there is a strong taste of home, which is the biggest difference from the festivals of Western countries, through this bond of affection, the relatives who are thousands of miles apart are tightly linked together, and the fact that you are a Chinese cannot be changed in your lifetime. This is also the reason why Chinese culture has endured for thousands of years and has never died.
Since Hong Kong was ruled by the British, the traditional Chinese festivals were canceled by the British, only Western festivals, Hong Kong people have slowly adapted to Western festivals, but also brought in the culture of traditional Chinese festivals, forming a unique Chinese and Western festive atmosphere.
Today is New Year's Day, although it is a Western holiday, but now Hong Kong people regard it as the traditional Chinese New Year, which also includes Western festival culture.
After Ling Shizhe spent the New Year in Hong Kong, he also went to Li's house in Taiwan to visit his future father-in-law. After all, it is unreasonable not to go to visit someone's daughter, and there are also his own parents who go with him, Ling Zhigao originally had a plan to go to Taiwan, where there is his business, and now he knows that Ling Shizhe is going to visit his future father-in-law, so he will simply be together.
When Ling Shizhe went home the day before yesterday, he took Li Li to meet his parents, and Ling Zhigao and Zhang Yuzhen were very satisfied.
Li Li herself was born in the Li family, a wealthy family in Taiwan, the Li family is not inferior to the Ling family in Hong Kong, and it is slightly higher, and its influence in Taiwan is very large, and now Ling Shizhe and Li Li have come together, so that the Ling family and the Li family have become in-laws, which has only benefits and no disadvantages for the Ling Group's business in Taiwan, and the whole family attaches great importance to Li Li, and treats him like a princess.
Since Ling Shizhe gave up the inheritance of the Ling Group, there have been many fewer conflicts with his brothers and sisters, and no one will compete with them for family property, and the relationship with them has begun to become harmonious.
Ling Zhigao has now transferred the property rights of Ling's ceramics under the group to Ling Shizhe, which is completely handed over to him, and even the annual profits and taxes do not have to be paid, and the transfer is very thorough.
Now Ling's ceramics belong to him thoroughly Ling Shizhe, belongs to the ceramic department of Ambrera Company, and the company's annual net profit of up to 200 million US dollars is now completely his company.
At this time when Ling Zhigao did this, Ling Shizhe's brothers and sisters were still dissatisfied, and Ling Zhigao said: "If there is no technology from Lao Qi, will you produce it?" Does the ceramic factory still make money, and who else can the factory give to Lao Qi in addition to Lao Qi? If you don't give it to him, he can get rid of you and do it alone, don't forget that those patents are in the hands of Lao Qi, he doesn't give you authorization, you can't produce, even if you produce it is illegal, and do you produce it, look at those ceramic factories that have gone out of business, when they were swarming at the beginning, which one is still alive now, and which one has made Lao Qi's ceramics out, even the Wu family has not done it, and sold his own ceramic factory to him, the Tao in this is not as simple as you think, Do you still want to earn money with Lao Qi"? As soon as he said this, his brothers and sisters had no objections, no matter whether they were willing or not, they could only admit it.
It was only at this time that Ling Shizhe's brothers and sisters came back to their senses, when Ling Shizhe insisted on keeping the patent right in his hands, and would rather reduce the royalty income, it was this idea, the seventh child was too scheming, and he hated it one by one.
Of course, Ling Zhigao knew what his children were thinking, and when he didn't want his children to become enemies for the sake of family property, he said: "Don't be unwilling, Lao Qi has always opposed me stepping into the real estate industry, and now the core of Ling's Group is real estate, and he will not fight with you, Lao Qi has given up his inheritance, what are you worried about." If you really have the heart, it is right for you to manage your own part well. ”
Now Ling Zhigao has to worry, some time ago, wasn't the Yu family in Hong Kong just because a few children fought for the inheritance, and the last brothers and sisters drew their knives against each other, but they all ended up, and no one inherited the inheritance, and was auctioned by the government. I really don't know where he learned it, it seems that there are capable people behind the seventh, I don't know if it's his future father-in-law.
The children of the Yu family fought for the inheritance, it happened three months ago, not only in Hong Kong in the whole Southeast Asia caused a huge sensation, this matter gave Ling Zhigao a deep shock, he found that he had neglected a lot of things before, for the tragedy of the Yu family was not released in the Ling family, Ling Zhigao also began to make arrangements for his own afterlife, he made adjustments to the Ling Group, divided into several large pieces, according to the character and expertise of his children to be responsible for their own piece, Later, they left on their own, and the area they were responsible for was the property they inherited.
Under the disagreement of Ling Zhigao, Ling Shizhe was assigned to completely own the ceramic factory.
Ling Shizhe sat in the car and looked at the lively crowd on the street, the street was full of festive atmosphere, and the faces of pedestrians also showed festive smiles, Ling Shizhe found that the lives of these ordinary people had left him, and he would never live the life of his previous life in this life, and the ordinary people outside the car and his previous life were already people of two worlds.
Came to the Ling Family Mansion, Ling Shizhe got out of the car and entered the gate of the Ling Family Mansion, which was very lively, his father Ling Zhigao was also there, sitting on the main seat, next to his several wives, his mother Zhang Yuzhen was also there, Ling Shizhe went up to say hello to his father and mother and several of his wives, and then went to the garden by himself
When he came to the garden, he met his eldest brother Ling Shikai, who was having a barbecue there alone.
Ling Shikai shouted to him, "Old Seven, come here." Come, old seven sit. Give", Ling Shizhe called out to the eldest brother in the past, and then sat on the chair, took the barbecue handed over by Ling Shikai in his hand, and Ling Shizhe was not polite when he took the barbecue, so he took a bite and tasted it, it felt really good.
"What's the matter, your eldest brother's craftsmanship hasn't been retired yet, has it?" Ling Shikai asked.
Ling Shizhe said while eating: "Big brother's craftsmanship is still so good, when I was a child, I liked to eat big brother's barbecue the most."
"How are you doing in Canada, and do you want to live in Canada for a long time?"
"It's all sorted out over there, and I'll be in Hong Kong in the future, and I'll only go over when there's something."
Since Ling Shizhe arranged the work of EUC, he has sorted out the company, and handed over all the things in North America to Alison, and he took Li Li back to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong will be the core of Ambrera in the future. Now Ling Shizhe's company headquarters is still in the building of the headquarters of the Ling Group, and after Ling Shizhe came back, he bought a piece of land not far from the newly developed real estate of the Ling family to establish his own company headquarters, and moved there after the completion of the project.
The eldest brother Ling Shikai has the best relationship with Ling Shizhe in the Ling family, when he was a child, Ling Shizhe's mother was sick and no one took care of him, it was the eldest brother Ling Shikai and the sister-in-law who had not come to the door at that time to help take care of it, Ling Shizhe was also the most taken care of by Ling Shikai when he was a child, so Ling Shizhe was very grateful to the eldest brother, and their relationship was also the best.
"Big brother, how is that land being developed"? Ling Shizhe asked about the land that the Ling family auctioned last year, and now it has been built for a year, this land is in charge of Ling Shikai, he is the eldest son of the family, and he will definitely be the heir of the Ling group in the future.
"The first phase of the project has been completed, and now it has begun to be sold, and it sells very well, or it won't be long before those properties will be sold out, and the stores will all be rented out, and the rental income is quite good, a total of eight projects, and the second phase of the project will be built after the New Year" Ling Shikai took a sip of beer and continued: "Originally, Dad's plan was to give up the inheritance of the Ling family now, and it will definitely be a prosperous area in the future, but it's a pity, I really don't understand you, why give up." ”
"Big brother, you know me, your ambition is not here", Ling Shizhe took out a can of beer and opened it, "And when my father wanted to focus on the real estate business of the group, I was against it, and if I gave up, I gave up, did my father say who will it give it to in the end?"
"Dad plans not to give it to anyone, as the public property of the Ling family, put it in the established Ling family fund, Dad's plan is that if anyone has difficulties in the future and needs money, he will use this money to help anyone, but it is not gratuitous, it is to open an IOU, and it will be returned in the future, if it is not repaid, it will not be lent to him."
Ling Shizhe said: "Dad is really thoughtful, so it's okay, everyone won't fight for this."
After Ling Zhigao's death in the future, several brothers and sisters will have their own lives after they split up, and it is difficult to say whether everyone still has any contacts, put Ling Shizhe in such a piece, put it in the family fund, and everyone will use this money to relieve them if they have difficulties in the future, so that everyone's interests will be tied together to a certain extent, and in the future, brothers and sisters will help each other and will not be estranged from each other, the power of the Ling family will only get stronger and stronger, Ling Shizhe admires Ling Zhigao's decision very much.
Ling Shizhe thought for a while and said: "Big brother, you give your father a suggestion, in the future, the newly developed real estate in the group will be taken out and put in the family fund, and the fund will have more money and more money, so it will be more helpful to everyone."
Ling Shikai turned his head to look at Ling Shizhe and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you still care about the Ling family, I thought that after you left the Ling family, you wouldn't care about whether the Ling family lived or died."
Hearing this, Ling Shizhe is willing to admit it, this crime is too heavy, Ling Shikai is the eldest son in the family, and he will definitely inherit his father Ling Zhigao's career in the future, now Ling Zhigao has begun to slowly hand over the relationship power in his hands to Ling Shikai, and some things will depend on the eldest brother in the future, if Ling Shikai leaves this impression, it will be very bad, seeing the eldest brother's eyes, he said seriously: "Big brother, your words are so unreasonable, you know my person, when I gave up the inheritance of the Ling family, I ran away from the Ling family." , It's not because the brothers and sisters are fighting for the family property and everyone is very unhappy, everyone is like an enemy, so I left, and I also want to take advantage of the youth to go out and break through, now my father has arranged everything for everyone, as long as everyone is not too greedy, there is no need to fight for anything, the worries of the Ling family are lifted, and in the future, the brothers and sisters of the Ling family will have their own careers, and when there are difficulties, everyone is helping each other, and the power of the Ling family will become bigger and bigger, how can I say that I don't care about the Ling family"?
Hearing Ling Shizhe say this, Ling Shikai relieved his heart and said, "Old Seven, it's right for you to think so, this is also what the old man is worried about, I'm worried that you and your brothers and sisters will have a falling out, which is not good for the Ling family in the future, you know Lao Qi, my father told me last time that between our brothers, your seventh brother's achievements will be the greatest in the future, and you can give the Ling family a lot of help, if the Ling family is in trouble in the future, if you don't help, then the Ling family will be finished in the future."
After Ling Shizhe heard this, he knew that the eldest brother said this, he had a good intention, which brother has achieved the most among me, let's pull the calf, the real intention is that you will also need my help.
Seeing Ling Shizhe's expression, he knew that he didn't believe it, knowing that in the past few years, everyone fought too hard between brothers and sisters for the family property, although he and Ling Shizhe have always had a good relationship, and he didn't blush with Ling Shizhe because of the family property, but he knew that Lao Qi's suspicion was the heaviest, and he wouldn't believe it in a few words, Ling Shikai thought about it and said: "Lao Qi, I know, you won't believe it when I say this, but my father said that your future achievements are the greatest, this is true, you go and ask your father to know if I am lying, I don't have to lie to you, really. I went with my father to see the new factory you are building now, and Alison also told my father about the project plan for your computer camera, and my father also knew about the new chip you designed, and also saw your camera prototype, and we used it, which is very good, I want to have a camera like this, it is very convenient. Father thinks that your project will be successful, and then your company will develop like never before, and Father is very confident in your camera, Lao Qi, you will become a legend in the future."
Ling Zhigao went to his factory is a thing Ling Shizhe knows, that is, the last time Alison went to Hong Kong, when Alison saw Ling Zhigao coming, he knew that he was the boss's boss, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he took him to the construction site and told Ling Zhigao about Ling Shizhe's camera plan without any reservations, and Ling Zhigao also took away 2 prototypes when he left, which was the batch after Ling Shizhe's first batch of modifications last time.
After Ling Zhigao took the camera, he went to take pictures everywhere every day, took pictures of what he saw, and took pictures with his family, and took pictures for 1 week, washed out the film, and called professionals from various industries from the company to analyze, they have always believed that if the shape of the camera is small and fashionable, the mass production of the camera can reach the level of the prototype, and the price is reasonable, there is a seventy percent success certainty.
After hearing this, Ling Zhigao was very confident in Ling Shizhe's camera project, and was very concerned about the construction of this factory, and also selected a few people from the group to help Tang Bingrong supervise the construction progress of the factory, so that he could start production as soon as possible.
And what surprised Ling Zhigao the most was the RISC chip designed by Ling Shizhe, which was actually the ARM chip of later generations, he didn't know that his son would design a chip, which was only capable of a giant like IBM, it was a real high-tech, the mainland and the treasure island did not have it, when did Ling Shizhe have this ability. Although he had a lot of questions in his heart, he still went to the University of Hong Kong to find his old friend to have a look, his old friend's surname is Wang, he met Ling Zhigao when he joined the army, and later came to Hong Kong, and became a professor of semiconductors at the University of Hong Kong. After carefully testing and analyzing Ling Shizhe's chip in the laboratory, Professor Wang said in surprise: "This chip can change the world and set off a new industrial revolution."
After hearing this, Ling Zhigao was skeptical, but he knew that Professor Wang was a world-class authority in semiconductors, never lied, and after knowing that Professor Wang was so sure of Ling Shizhe, Ling Zhigao decided in his heart that his son Ling Shizhe's company Ambrera Company would definitely become a world computer giant like IBM, and his son would definitely become a legend in the world, a legend for the Chinese, and a pride for the Chinese. He was very happy at the time, he had never been so happy when he was nearly seventy, since then he came to the construction site to check on the construction site in three days, understand the construction progress of the factory, and solve some construction problems of the factory, the construction speed of the factory has been greatly accelerated, which is also the real reason why Ling Shizhe is back now. After the New Year, the equipment will begin to be installed, Ling Shizhe has to come to see this, and the North American company's laboratory is also divided into two, the ceramic laboratory was originally placed outside Hong Kong, the chip laboratory he also has to move to Hong Kong, most of the R&D personnel in North America have agreed to follow him to Hong Kong after Ling Shizhe guaranteed a salary increase, and those who do not go have not been dismissed, and the laboratory has not been canceled, the laboratory here is used as the North American laboratory, and the Hong Kong laboratory is the central laboratory.
Hong Kong's headquarters building is designed according to the new headquarters building of the later Apple company, a circular building, the construction time is required, about 5 years, a total of 5 floors, covering an area of more than 260,000 square meters, a collection of scientific research and administration of the headquarters building, the headquarters building embodies the concept of science and technology, green and low-carbon environmental protection, but has not yet started construction, is still looking for design company design. However, Ling Shizhe has already circled the land, and will start construction when the design company is ready.
Now Ling Shizhe is temporarily in the headquarters building of Ling's Group, and the laboratory is also temporarily placed there, with a total of 3 floors.
After having dinner with everyone, Ling Shizhe returned to his villa in Repulse Bay, not far from which is the location of the new headquarters building selected by Ling Shizhe, and the entire construction cost of the building is the company's net profit for three years. A loan has been applied to HSBC and it will be a landmark building in Hong Kong when completed.
