In Queen Mary Hospital, Xu Caiying gave birth to a little princess, Lin Zhichao's first daughter, named Lin Wanzhu.

The boys of the Lin family are named after three characters, with the 'Rui' in the middle being the same generation, and the girls are also named after three characters, and the last word 'Zhu' is the same generation. For example, if Lin Zhichao has a second daughter, then the name will be 'Lin Huizhu'.

"Husband, do you like Wanzhu?" Xu Caiying leaned on the pillow and asked Lin Zhichao to come.

has four sons at home, and her husband may not have the idea of wanting a son anymore, so Xu Caiying asked.

Lin Zhichao held Xu Caiying's hand and said calmly: "There are not many people in our Lin family, every child is my baby, how can I not like Wanzhu." What's more, it's really nice to have a daughter, don't worry! ”

The daughter can also be in charge of Lin Zhichao's career, as long as she is good enough; Of course, theoretically speaking, the business inherited or in charge of the daughter must be a non-core industry, such as the clothing industry in the future.

Tang Caiyun, who was holding Lin Wanzhu on the side, was quite in love, although it was not her own, in fact, the two sisters were each other's children as their own.

"Since my husband thinks that there are not many people in the family, then we will continue to give birth until you are satisfied!"

When Lin Zhichao heard this, he turned back to Tang Caiyun and said, "What do you think of me!" You have to think about your body, and too much is not necessarily a good thing, and the energy to educate them has to keep up. ”

He suddenly thought of Luo Yingshi and his wife Du Lijun, who were really capable of giving birth, a couple actually gave birth to 9 children in a short period of time, with a minimum interval of only 14 months. The key is that Du Lijun is not only beautiful, but also alive at the age of 104 in later generations.

Although Tang Caiyun has given birth to three sons, each of them is a little more than two years apart. More importantly, with Lin Zhichao's nourishment of her body, Tang Caiyun has a super recovery ability, and she will recover within a month.

Tang Caiyun hugged Lin Wanzhu and said, "I still want to give birth to one!" ”

In her heart, she also wants a daughter, but she is worried that if she says it, Xu Caiying will have ideas!

Xu Caiying didn't have a city government, and immediately said: "Then if my sister has another son, she can't be fooled!" After all, if you give birth to four, I also have to give birth to four, the task is so heavy! ”

It's not that she finds it painful to have a baby, but that she feels that giving birth is troublesome!

Tang Caiyun said angrily: "You girl! Fortunately, there is no mother-in-law at home, and my husband also spoils us, otherwise how can you choose this matter, in the big family, who doesn't give birth to a lot. ”

Lin Zhichao was also thinking in his heart, the more things about his children, the better. However, considering the energy of cultivation, the first wave of ten is enough, Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying have four each, and Hepburn has two more.

There may be more in the future, but the nature will definitely be different at that time!

After sitting for a while, Lin Zhichao went to work.

Xu Caiying's mother and daughter were handed over to Tang Caiyun to take care of, while Wu Wenying sat at home, after all, there were still four children at home. Although there is a nanny at home, there must also be a master to supervise. Song Qiaoling will also help, after all, it is her daughter.

Lin Zhichao came to Cheung Kong, and Huang Changhong, the deputy general manager, then came to his office and handed him a bid.

"Boss, the tender for the Jiulong Chaguoling Stone Mine has been made, please take a look!"

He picked up the tender and looked at it seriously.

There are dozens of large and small quarries in Hong Kong, but they are all strictly managed by the Hong Kong government, and private mining is not allowed. In the process of mining, there are strict requirements for the owners of various stone mines.

Hong Kong's stone industry has a long history, dating back to the British occupation of Hong Kong Island in 1841, and the subsequent construction required a large amount of stone. Shau Kei Wan, Shek Tong Tsui and Morrison Hill off the coast of Hong Kong Island, and Qian Cao Wan, Ngau Tau Kok, Lei Yue Mun and Ho Man Tin Quarry Hill along the coast of Kowloon Peninsula were the main mining sites at that time. At that time, concrete technology did not exist in Hong Kong, and quarries were mainly used as the main building materials for early buildings, retaining walls, reservoirs and seawalls.

After 1900, concrete technology appeared, as the main building material, Hong Kong stone mining turned to concentrate on the production of crushed stone, and the labor intensity of some manual processes decreased, creating opportunities for women workers and other people to enter the stone mining industry.

Male workers are responsible for tasks that require strength, such as "firing guns" and "opening mountains", and chiseling boulders; Female workers and the elderly use stone hammers and drills to break stones and make crushed stone raw materials for concrete. Every day before the end of the day, the weight of the broken stone is calculated, and the salary is paid according to the record.

Today, Cheung Kong's warehouses are full of machinery, so Lin Zhichao intends to enter the stone mining industry and eventually form a monopoly.

After all, the stone industry is not inferior to cement and sand industry, and Hong Kong's cement supply is currently in the hands of the British (Qingzhou British Mud), and the sand industry is actually a loss-making industry.

As for what kind of 'Tsar' the airship Tai is, that is pure nonsense. The sand in Hong Kong is basically made of sea sand, and the sea sand can be washed, and the washing process is completed, which can be regarded as river sand; Even, some projects don't even wash the sand, and use sea sand directly.

As for the question of lifespan, according to Lin Zhichao, buildings built more than 60 years ago abound - many high-rise buildings built in the 50s have not been demolished, such as Champagne Building, Dangong Building, Zhongjian Building, and so on. In Japan, Taiwan and other countries, almost all of them use sea sand to build, after all, there is no river sand.

Airship Tai acts as an agent for the river sand in the mainland, and it can only be said that you can make some money, not to mention that you have been in sports for ten years, who will mine sand for you. In his previous life, Airship Tai went to pan the sea sand, purely to ease the relationship with the Hong Kong government, he took on a large number of government projects, and then set the price very low, in order to ease the relationship with the Hong Kong government.

Therefore, in the field of building materials, Lin Zhichao did not think about touching the sand in the past; In the field of cement, it will directly acquire Qingzhou British Mud.

The stone mining industry is the highlight of Changjiang Industrial, and of course it will involve steel (shipbreaking), aluminum alloy and other fields in the future; In short, it is normal for a real estate company to have dozens of branches.

"4.1 million Hong Kong dollars, is there any hope of winning the bid?" After reading the bid, Lin Zhichao gave his own price.

Huang Changhong said: "The probability of winning the bid is very high, it can be said that it is nine out of ten, and even the price is a little high!" ”

Lin Zhichao didn't believe it, because he knew that there was a person who was also spying on this stone mine.

It turned out that although a Japanese official Yoshida Ichiro made an obstacle last year, Lui Che Woo still obtained the procurement approval, which should have taken some channel. In this way, the two even had a 'price increase', but fortunately, everyone later understood that the price increase was a lose-lose thing, so they each started a bidding strategy of one time and one time.

Therefore, according to the money earned in the business of Yangtze River Trading, Lu Zhihe probably made at least four or five million. At the same time, Lu Zhihe is not stupid, with so much machinery in his hands, he must have set up a construction company and is ready to dabble in infrastructure and stone mines.

"The price doesn't have to be high! There is a businessman named Lui Che Ho in Hong Kong, who is also reselling war remnants in Japan, and he has machinery and equipment in his hands, and he may think the same way as us. ”

Huang Changhong said: "But there are dozens of large and small quarries in Hong Kong, and there is always a way to obtain the quarry, or to buy it, or to cooperate. If we win this quarry, we can also cooperate with others, or acquire it, expand the industry, and quickly occupy the market. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Then go to the bid according to 4.1 million Hong Kong dollars, there is no technical problem." ”

"Okay"

The other side.

Lui Zhihe confidently filled in the bid price of '3.8 million Hong Kong dollars' and prepared to seal the bag for bidding.

His father and partner, Lu Jinzha, reminded: "Shouldn't the price be higher, so that it can win the competition?" ”

When Lu Zhihe heard this, he laughed indifferently, and then said: "Father, other people's ideas are to use stone hammers and drills, and they are bound to consider the cost of mining. And now I plan to use mechanized production of quarry, and this price is already stable. ”

Lu Jinzha saw that his son was full of confidence, and he was already a little proud and complacent before his words. Indeed, in the past year, my son suddenly made a fortune and obtained approval for the purchase of war surplus materials from the US military stationed in Japan, so he made a fortune and made many friends in the business community.

Therefore, Lu Zhihe has developed a proud and complacent character, and Lu Jinzha, as a bystander, can still see it.

"The Yangtze River Trade is also doing the procurement of surplus materials for the US military stationed in Japan, and they must have a lot of machinery in their hands. Think about it, will their boss Lin Zhichao take a fancy to this stone mine? ”

Lu Zhihe immediately vetoed: "No! I have thought about this matter, and as far as I know, although Lin Zhichao is a veteran businessman in Hong Kong real estate, he has not invested in real estate for a long time. If he doesn't invest in real estate, why would he fancy a stone mining business? Will it not be an upstream industry, but a downstream industry? ”

Lu Jinzha thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he didn't say more.

At this time, Lu Zhihe didn't expect that he almost didn't get the approval at the beginning, because Lin Zhichao was obstructing him; Therefore, I didn't want to fight with Lin Zhichao.

At the same time, he was even more proud, when he snatched a batch of goods from the Yangtze River trade, the other party could only take a step back; Of course, he later understood that if the two companies broke out into fierce bidding every time, then the profits might be reduced.

Because of this, the U.S. consul was happy with the presence of the two Hong Kong buyers.

Therefore, since he won once, he no longer competes, but only bids reasonably; Subsequently, everyone formed a tacit understanding, and one party obtained the right to purchase once. Of course, there are other businessmen in this as well.

Lu Jinzha then said: "How long can you do trade in that country?" ”

The so-called international trade is the purchase of war surplus materials, and then sell them not only in Hong Kong, but also overseas. Since Hong Kong is a free trade port, it is very convenient to do this kind of business.

Lu Zhihe said: "The surplus materials have become less and less, so I plan to enter the construction and stone mining industry this year. The specific time is estimated to be the end of international trade within this two years. ”

Lu Jinzha was also a wealthy businessman, and he also made a lot of money by smuggling materials in the aftermath of the war on the peninsula. However, he has many sons, so it is impossible to take care of Lu Zhihe too much.

On the contrary, now, Lu Zhihe has developed with his own efforts and stands out among the brothers, so when he heard that his son wanted to cooperate, he agreed as soon as possible.

Two days later.

The Hong Kong government announced that it had won the bid for the right to mine the quarry in Cha Kwo Ling, Kowloon, which was Cheung Kong Real Estate.

Because the real estate companies in this era are called real estate companies, the real estate business of Cheung Kong Real Estate is still carried out in the name of Cheung Kong Real Estate. Only when it is listed in the future, Cheung Kong and Cheung Kong Real Estate will be separated.

Lu Zhihe, who heard the news, was dumbfounded, he was really surprised that someone was intervened.

Lv Jinzha immediately taught his son: "There are a lot of machinery in other people's hands, and they may not even sell much, so the entry into the construction industry and stone mining is smooth." You're too careless this time! If you can think that Changjiang Real Estate will bid, I believe you will definitely pay more than 4.2 million Hong Kong dollars, because you know that the opponent is very strong. But you didn't think of that! ”

Lu Zhihe's face suddenly flushed, and he said embarrassedly for a long time: "I can only find another chance!" ”

Lu Jinzha immediately said: "Wait any longer, your machine may be rusty." Rather than waiting for the government to come up with the right to mine the quarry, you might as well buy a quarry and do it first. ”

Lu Zhihe nodded and said, "Yes, I understand!" (End of chapter)
