Volume 1 Chapter 5 The Nine Dragons Lin Family
When it comes to the rich and luxury villas in Hong Kong, many Hong Kong locals are afraid that the first thing that comes to mind is only three locations on Hong Kong Island, namely Big Wave Bay Road, Repulse Bay Road and Deep Water Bay Road. Due to the unique terrain, nearly sixty percent of Hong Kong's wealthy people choose to buy land and build luxury homes here.
However, these three are not the only ones in Hong Kong with top-notch luxury properties, for example, on Austin Road on the waterfront in Kowloon, there are one luxury house after another.
The Lin family in Kowloon is not a top wealthy family in Hong Kong, but it is better to become famous early enough, as early as when Asian superman Li Jiacheng was still working hard, Lin Jili has already emerged in the Hong Kong banking industry, and the signboard of the old wealthy family is barely responsible.
In the mid-seventies, the Lin family took the lead in buying a large piece of land on the then fashionable and very desolate Austin Road and built a sea-view villa with more than 16,400 square feet (about 1,820 square meters). After it was built in 77 years, it was a sensation in Hong Kong at that time.
However, there has never been a dynasty that has lasted for thousands of years, and there have never been a family that has lasted for a hundred years, just because time is the sharpest weapon in the world.
Time entered the mid-to-late 80s, and the 'Lin Jili family', which was once known as one of the six major banks in Hong Kong along with the 'Lin Bingyan family', 'Ho Sin Heng family', 'Leung Chi Wai family', 'Li Guobao family' and 'Sheng Chunlin family' in the 60s, also declined.
Yes, the Lin family has declined. The founder of the bank, Lin Jili, gave up the position of chairman of the bank to his only son Lin Jiannian in 85 years, and the stock market crash hit the big ship that was about to set sail two years later. Although the new chairman Lin Jiannian has exhausted his mental strength, he is still running around to raise loans, hoping to make up for the bank's gap first. The Bank of Kowloon, the pride of the Lin family in Kowloon in the past, has now become a bottomless black hole, constantly devouring the wealth and blood of the Lin family.
The Lin family is really suffering from internal and external troubles now. Outside, there are nearly 100 million debts of the Kowloon Bank waiting to be cleared, and inside is the third-generation heir Lin Xiaozhi, who is unlearned and unskilled, every time someone thinks of him, in addition to sighing or sighing. Lin Xiaozhi is not small in Hong Kong, a famous bad boy in the rich circle, synonymous with Hong Kong's unlearned and unskilled children, many rich people use him to teach future generations, who can't learn from Lin Xiaozhi, be careful of ruining your life.
On the night of May 12, Lin Mansion, 1401 Austin Road.
"Sir, pay attention to your body. Recently, I heard from the young master that your diet has been very irregular, and although work is important, you can't ignore your body! ”
In a room in the corner of the second floor of the mansion, Fu Bo, the old servant of the Lin family, looked at Lin Jili, who was burying his head in front of his desk and was processing documents, his beard trembled, but he still couldn't hold back after all, and opened his mouth to persuade.
"yes, Dad. The bank's affairs, I and Xiaoyi are busy, you can rest well, and pay attention to your body! Lin Jiannian also persuaded on the side, his father is 79 years old this year, if it weren't for the family often buying bird's nest and ginseng to warm his body, I am afraid that at this age, he would have been suffering from frequent stubborn illnesses and entering the twilight. But Rao is like this, in the end, he is old. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to retire three years ago and passed on the chairmanship of Kowloon Bank to Lin Jiannian.
"What's the matter, I'm strong, I was chatting with Dr. Wang a few days ago, and he said that I was as strong as a cow...... By the way, Ah Fu, a few days ago, you took leave to go back to your hometown to visit your children, how about it? ”
Lin Jili raised his head and looked at the two people standing respectfully opposite him, and his face was rarely full of smiles at this time. This Fu Bo, whose full name is Ji Fu, fled from the mainland to Hong Kong during the Great Famine and fell starving in front of the predecessor of the Kowloon Bank, Jili Pawnshop. Lin Jili saw that he was pitiful, so he received a guy from the store, and in a blink of an eye, this Ji Fu had been with him for almost thirty years.
When he was a child, his only son Lin Jiannian was not in good health, and Lin Jili was busy with work and couldn't take care of him at all times, so he transferred Ji Fu, who was upright at work, to his own house as a housekeeper, which was done for decades, Lin Jiannian almost grew up with him, and he had a deep relationship with him.
Seeing that he deliberately avoided the topic, Fu Bo wanted to open his mouth and persuade again, but when he thought of the current situation of the Lin family, he could only sigh and cooperate to change the topic, "Master, thanks to you, several juniors in my family are still healthy." The third child who gave me the most headache finally wanted to open it recently, and promised the eldest and the second child to help him get married, if he can let me hold my little grandson, I will also be a wish for the rest of my life! ”
Fu Bo sighed with emotion on his face, and suddenly saw Lin Jiannian's face gloomy on one side, and Lin Jili's smile on the other side gradually faded. scolded himself in his heart, 'which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned', Young Master Sun Lin Xiaozhi loves to play and is not sensible, and is recognized as a gentleman in Hong Kong. People who are about to stand, not to mention the marriage after several shirks, had a marriage contract with the He family, the first wealthy family in Hong Kong and Macao, but others did not succeed, and the marriage contract was unilaterally terminated by the He family, which made the Lin family lose face in the Hong Kong upper circle. Now that he mentions his own family, eighty percent reminds the lord of his unsuccessful son.
Sure enough, I saw Lin Jiannian warm and angry, "Fu Bo, you are blessed, when Ah Zhizhi let me breathe a sigh of relief and worry less about him, I will thank God!" This bastard thing, once he runs out, he won't come home for almost a week, if he dares to come back this time, see if I don't break his legs! ”
Fu Bo sighed in his heart, as soon as he returned to the Lin Mansion, he heard from the next person that the young master personally went to the police station at noon today to visit a friend, and found out through the police the hotel where Young Master Sun is staying now. Then he asked his eldest son Lin Xiaoyi to call the hotel and urge him to hurry home. He is a standard knife-mouthed tofu heart, after all, Lin Xiaozhi disappointed him again, in the end, it was his own flesh and blood. With Mrs. Sun's entrustment before her death, no matter how stubborn Young Master Sun is, he also loves him.
"Bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open, and a tall, sturdy young man with a gold-rimmed glasses on his face pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance of lotus seeds came to his nose. Everyone looked at the door, and saw that behind the young man, a young woman with long hair and a graceful figure, although her appearance was not alluring, but she was also very delicate, walked into the house with three bowls of white fungus lotus seed porridge.
"Dad, Fauber, you're all here!"
The young man with the face of the national character saluted, "Grandpa, Aman heard that you have a bad appetite recently, so you cooked some lotus seed porridge." Dad, Grandpa Fu, you can also try Oman's craftsmanship! ”
"Grandpa, Daddy, you haven't had a good appetite lately, I helped you cook a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup that clears the heat and strengthens the stomach, Grandpa Fu, you can also eat a bowl." Like a lark, a pleasant and beautiful voice sounded, all said to hear the sound of people, the girl's voice was not arrogant or impatient, with a soft and gentle magic, just look at Lin Jiannian's face that was still a little angry, as soon as she saw her enter the house, the expression on her face eased down and she knew it.
"Xiao Man, I'm worrying about you again!" Lin Jiannian squeezed out a smile on his face.
Fauber smiled and took the plate from her hand, "Miss, let me come!" ”
He brought a bowl and placed it in front of Lin Jili's table, and handed the other bowl to Lin Jiannian, and then he picked up a bowl with a smile on his face, "Master, you can try Miss Aman's craftsmanship!" ”
Lin Jili snorted, "Xiaoman, you have a heart!" ”
For him, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, he is still quite satisfied. This woman's current name is Lin Wang Xiaoman, who is the wife of his eldest grandson Lin Xiaoyi, and the youngest daughter of Wang Xinfa, who is known as the 'New Territories Fruit King'. His mother's family owns six factories, and more than 70% of Hong Kong's supermarkets and department stores have snacks and fruits produced by their family.
Lin Wang Xiaoman has a gentle temperament and is knowledgeable, and the only thing that makes people unhappy is that her father Wang Xinfa is too snobbish. When the Lin family was prosperous, he often ran to the Lin Mansion, and his reputation was to see his daughter, but in fact, it was just to get a few more low-interest loans from the Kowloon Bank. Now that the Lin family has suffered a heavy blow from the stock market crash, when he needs money the most, he who usually comes to the Lin Mansion once in a month or two is no longer there, Lin Jiannian went to the Wang family several times in person in the hope of turning over some funds to use, but Wang Xinfa refused with various excuses, which made Lin Jili and Lin Jiannian's father and son somewhat dissatisfied. However, they are reasonable people in the end, and this grievance will not fall on Lin Wang Xiaoman.
"Well, Miss Xiaoman's craftsmanship is really good......"
Fauber took a few bites and kept praising it.
Lin Wang Xiaoman said obediently: "If Grandpa Fu likes it, I will burn more in the future, and you can eat it with Grandpa and Daddy!" ”
"Yes, Grandpa Fu, if you like it, let Amandand burn more in the future!"
"You guys, you have a heart!"
Lin Jili drank half a bowl, put down the bowl with a smile, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his mouth, "It's so late, you guys go to rest early." I don't want anything now, I just want to hold my great-grandson as soon as possible! ”
Lin Wang Xiaoman's face turned red, and even Lin Xiaoyi was a little uncomfortable, so he hurriedly resigned and left the room-
