Chapter 238 [1958]

Lin Zhichao woke up and found that it was New Year's Day in 1958, another year had passed, and a new year had passed.

He couldn't help but think back to the past 11 and a half years, it was a dreamlike experience, and it often gave him the illusion that all this was real.

From a poor boy who almost lived on the streets, he has now become a world-class billionaire, with a net worth of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars; From coming to Hong Kong alone to work hard, he has now become the founder of the 'Lin family', with more than 10 family members.

Compared with the ten years and ten years in the previous life, it is really different.

No longer emotional, Lin Zhichao got up from the bed, and then covered the bed for Tang Caiyun. The beauty is still that beauty, and the traces of the years on her face are not obvious, even if Tang Caiyun is already a mother of four children.

Tang Caiyun opened her eyes lazily and saw Lin Zhichao dressing, a smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, but she immediately closed her eyes again and continued to sleep; Because she knew that this point in time should be less than six o'clock.

Energetic man, but she needs a beauty sleep.

Lin Zhichao was dressed in a crocodile shirt suit and leather shoes, and walked downstairs.

When he went downstairs, his hand was holding on to the imported Burmese wooden railing, which was smooth and heavy; Overlooking down, the design style of the whole staircase is very suitable for his mind, the antique yellow lights, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and the Western-style decorations stand guard at both ends of the staircase bottom book, and the whole design is a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

"Lin Sheng, morning!"

"Aunt Fang, morning! What's breakfast today? ”

When he met his aunt who was preparing breakfast, Lin Zhichao also responded normally.

The Lin family also has a large population, so there are only two servants who cook, and the two servants who cook themselves can cook a home-cooked meal; However, Lin Zhichao was not satisfied, and specially asked the master to teach him how to cook some food, and he paid for the tuition, and the maid learned it before serving the Lin family.

So the two aunts who cook, after catching up with a few years, if they have the idea of opening a restaurant, I am afraid that they are definitely good hands, and the private dishes are absolutely good.

In fact, the chefs of the rich are very good, and they often handle high-end ingredients, and they are knowledgeable; So these people have changed their fate in this life, such as the former He Dong's private chef, who opened the door of blessings; Or Lin Zhichao's chef chooses to resign and open a private restaurant, with Lin Zhichao's name as a 'private chef', plus he cooks a good dish, the business is definitely not worried.

Lin's two cooks have a monthly salary of 300 Hong Kong dollars, and they also have an income of 5,000 yuan a year for the benefits and benefits of the New Year's holidays, and they also have food and accommodation.

Aunt Fang said: "There are shrimp dumplings, fried beef river, soup dumplings, steamed sweet potatoes, steamed corn, egg tarts, milk, and soy milk. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, he just asked casually, and he didn't care what he ate in the morning!

There are many varieties because everyone's tastes are different, and you can choose freely.

Lin Zhichao doesn't necessarily eat breakfast at home every day, and sometimes he drives outside to have morning tea with friends.

Every morning, Lin Zhichao has to do three things: reading the newspaper, exercising, and breakfast. So this morning, Lin Zhichao plans to go to the 'Deep Water Bay Golf Course' to play.

That's the advantage of being close to the course, he lives not only close to the golf course, but also close to Deep Water Bay, so he goes for a winter swim at noon on weekends.

At a quarter past six, Lin Zhichao came to the Deep Water Bay Golf Course and started playing alone.

He used to despise golf, but now he loves it, and he comes to work out three or four days a week in the morning, once for 30~60 minutes.

A three-par nine-hole course takes 30 to 40 minutes to complete a lap, and if you play well, you can play two laps in the morning, and one hour is just right.

Today is New Year's Day, and Lin Zhi played two laps supernaturally before he was ready to go home.

Soon, after two laps, Lin Zhichao felt comfortable and prepared to go home for breakfast.

When you come to the golf clubhouse.

"Huh"

"Lin Sheng, what's wrong?"

Hearing Lin Zhichao's voice, the caddy hurriedly asked with concern. This is the God of Wealth, the caddies in the clubhouse want to be Lin Zhichao's caddy in the morning, and if you are lucky, you can get a tip of 100, as long as Mr. Lin hits birdie and eagle ball; Even if you don't score that day, you can get a tip of 20 Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Zhichao walked a few steps to a sewer, looked inside, and said, "I just dropped a coin and accidentally rolled into it!" ”

The caddie didn't think about it and said, "Lin Sheng, I'll help you find it!" ”

With that, the caddy had already flipped over the slate and looked for clues to the coin. When he saw that it was a one-dollar coin, there were two thoughts in his heart, the first was that he had finally found it, and the second was that Boss Lin still cared about this one-dollar coin.

At this time, some members who played early ball, seeing that Lin Zhichao had lost something, and the caddie was looking for him, they immediately surrounded him curiously.

"Lin Sheng, is it a Hong Kong dollar coin?"

Lin Zhichao said happily: "Yes, yes, Agui, have you found it?" ”

The caddy, Agui, raised the coin in his hand and said, "It should be this one, because there is only this one in it!" ”

Lin Zhichao was about to get it, but Agui hurriedly took it back and said, "Lin Sheng, I'll go wash it for you, the water down here is dirty!" ”

Ah Gui quickly ran to a faucet, cleaned the coins, and then quickly handed them to Lin Zhichao.

But what happened was that Lin Zhichao handed Ah Gui a 100 Hong Kong dollar bill.

"Agui, this is my tip, thank you for helping me retrieve this coin!"

"Lin Sheng, this coin is a dollar!"

Ah Gui was stunned, he was looking for a one-dollar coin, but Lin Sheng gave him a 100 Hong Kong dollar bill, is this account wrong!

The members who watched the excitement also said: "Lin Sheng, you are doing a big business, is the account of this small business wrong?" ”

Someone else chimed in: "It may be that Lin Sheng is generous, to these caddies." No wonder, every time everyone looks forward to being a caddy for Lin Sheng. ”

Lin Zhichao responded with a smile: "Everyone, I picked up this coin because I was afraid that it would roll into the sewer and disappear and be wasted, and the world would lose a dollar of wealth." gave Agui, a young man, 100 yuan as a hardship fee, because he could use it. It is not easy for young people to make money, and this money will not disappear in the world. I think money can be used, but not wasted. Let's laugh at it! ”

The expressions of the onlookers who came to watch suddenly froze, and it took a few seconds before they responded.

"Very philosophical!"

"Makes sense."

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao said goodbye to everyone, leaving only a group of people who were still reminiscing about the style of 'masters'.

Ah Gui took the money in his hand, and for the first time made him feel that he had learned very useful knowledge. He was thinking that Mr. Lin was so rich that he still cared about that dollar, but he could give himself a 100 tip, which could cover his basic salary for a month. And he works as a caddie in the club and knows English, so he earns a lot, with an income of four or five hundred per month; However, he never cherished the money he earned and always liked to go out with his friends.

"Am I going to be a caddy for the rest of my life?"

"I don't want to, I'm going to work hard to save money now, and strive to do business and open a factory one day, and I want to be a rich man like Lin Sheng."

Ah Gui unconsciously grasped the money in his hand very tightly.

Lin Zhichao didn't know that his actions not only became a beautiful talk, but also made a teenager awaken and achieve certain achievements in the future.

In fact, he always likes to give advice to the people around him, for example, he advises the bodyguards to buy a house in installments, even at the expense of withdrawing his salary in advance and deducting it every month.

When he got home, Lin Zhichao asked for a fried cow river.

The so-called 'fried beef river' is fried beef with pho, Lin Zhichao's breakfast is relatively meaty, mainly because of the large consumption and strong metabolism.

"Xin'er, you're going back to Hong Kong in six months, right?" Xu Caiying ate the corn slowly and asked with concern.

Tang Caiyun, Xu Caiying, and Lin Xiner are not sisters, but they are better than sisters; Of course, this is mainly because Lin Zhichao is the hub.

"Well, after graduation, I will return to Hong Kong and work in the family business! I'm twenty-five years old, so it would be nice if I could bring back a boyfriend! After Lin Zhichao finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel sad.

He deliberately called Lin Xin'er and asked Lin Xin'er to find a boyfriend who could return to Hong Kong if she had the opportunity, as long as her knowledge and character were fine. To put it bluntly, Lin Zhichao does not dislike the other party's poor family.

As an elder brother, he still hopes that she can have a good home, because the eldest brother is like a father, especially Lin Zhichao also has two daughters.

Tang Caiyun smiled: "You weren't in a hurry before!" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "This is a kind of mentality as a father, the daughter is young, so she is naturally reluctant to talk about her boyfriend and get married; When the daughter is older, there is no need to be a parent. ”

Tang Caiyun said again: "You are so demanding, and Xin'er listens to you so much, how can it be easy to find!" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Marriage is a lifelong thing, the three views do not match, the knowledge does not match, and the character is not good, these will not grow old." I'm demanding, just to give her a wake-up call, if she really finds someone she likes, I won't really be a villain. ”

Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying realized that Lin Zhichao had good intentions.

Xu Caiying asked curiously: "Then what dowry is your brother going to give her?" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "If Xin'er can make a difference in the workplace, I don't mind giving him part of the equity of a hotel brand, and she also has a strong backer in this life." Other dowries, will I still treat my only sister badly! ”

Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying smiled, not only for their mother-in-law but also for their husbands, saying that they had no opinion.

In the morning of the same day, Lin Zhichao accompanied his children to learn calligraphy and ancient Chinese, and took parent-child classes; In the afternoon, he took Tang Caiyun to drive a yacht to go fishing, and the calm sea could give him an atmosphere of calm thinking.

Following.

Cheung Kong Industrial.

After the formal meeting, Lin Zhichao said: "I plan to let the company's middle and senior management partner to develop real estate, if any of you are willing to invest, you can organize a count of the number of funds." If it is not enough to invest in a real estate, the company participates in the shares; If you can invest one and a half, the company will also participate in the shares. This is a voluntary investment, in short, I'm the boss, and I won't let you lose! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

As the boss's close ministers, of course they know that this time is the time to take the bottom, and the time must be good. And it is a development of real estate, which must be a steady profit - because the property price is cheap, and the land price is also cheap. As long as the land price is cheap, you can make more profits by covering it a little.

Huang Changhong, as the deputy general manager, immediately said: "Thank you boss for taking care of us, I will definitely organize everyone well!" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Remember that it's voluntary!" ”

Some middle management, and there is not much money; What's more, Lin Zhichao mainly takes care of top management.

In fact, the salary of the senior staff is not low, the salary of senior staff is 4~60,000 Hong Kong dollars, the salary of intermediate staff is 2~30,000, and the salary of low-level staff is 0.5~20,000.

In other words, the annual salary of the most ordinary staff is 5,000 yuan.

Of course, this is a clerk, not a 'site worker' working on the construction site, and that is not a Cheung Kong employee.

Huang Changhong said with a smile: "Of course! With such a good thing, everyone must be voluntary, and we will not force anyone. ”

Although we will not force anyone to make money, we are all colleagues and will definitely persuade each other to make money.

At present, the land of a real estate project is about 2 million, and the management of Cheung Kong Industrial should be able to make up 50~1 million.

Lin Zhichao said: "You can register a company, and if you have the opportunity in the future, I will support you to partner in real estate." ”

"Okay"

When the company goes public in the future, there will be no need to woo the management in this way, and the senior management will be given a 'bonus' - the right to buy the company's shares at a low price.

After the meeting, Lin Zhichao called the financial manager Zhou Fuzhao to the office.

"Do you usually study the stock market?"

Zhou Fuzhao immediately said: "I have a certain understanding, but I haven't studied much. I also have an investment personally, but I only have the capital of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Hmm. I plan to let the company invest in some stocks, and you recently compiled the information of the listed companies in Hong Kong to me and noted your thoughts. Later, I'll have my own decision to tell you to buy those stocks! ”

Zhou Fuzhao nodded and said, "No problem!" ”

He secretly made up his mind that in the future, he would learn more financial knowledge, especially about the stock market. There is no end to learning, this is what the boss often says. The important thing is that Cheung Kong is developing very fast, and if you can't keep up with the pace, the boss will not continue to trust you.

The reason why Lin Zhichao invested in the stock market at this time was because he felt that the return of the Hong Kong stock market in 1958~1961 must be good, not lower than the rate of return in the West.

This is because Hong Kong's industry is developing rapidly, the economy is also developing rapidly, and a large number of foreigners will come to Hong Kong to open branches and branches.

As for the real estate matter, this era does not affect the stocks on the market at all, because the real estate stocks in the Hong Kong stock market in this era are only one land.

The listed companies probably include: Kowloon Warehouse, Hongkong Electric, Peak Tramway, Hong Kong Tramway, Qingzhou British Cement Corporation, Kwan Yicang, Watsons, Hong Kong Hotel, Bank of East Asia, Star Ferry, Dairy Farm Company, HSBC, etc., almost all of which are old British-funded companies.

If you invest 500~10 million, you can earn two or three million more or less, and you will be diversified into the company's business.

After Zhou Fuzhao left, Lin Zhichao was thinking in the office.

In the second half of the year, Cheung Kong will continue to develop commercial projects, and in the second half of the year, 77 Des Voeux Road Central and the former site of the Pedder Street Hong Kong Hotel will be launched, both of which will be first-class buildings.

As for the commercial and residential land in Causeway Bay, it was launched in 1959 and only started to be sold in the 60s.

After this incident, Hong Kong people will definitely not buy a property that has not been grounded, so Cheung Kong will also consider 'selling off-plan) after a few months of groundbreaking.
