Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Tuen Mun, New Territories.

Lin Baicheng brought Guan Zhilin here.

Tuen Mun District is one of the most populous residential areas in Xiangjiang. Lin Baicheng brought Guan Zhilin here not just for shopping.

The modern Su's Garden built by Lin Baicheng, which will be the future Lin family mansion, is here in Tuen Mun District, far away from the existing residential areas.

Lin Baicheng brought Guan Zhilin here to see the future Lin family mansion.

Of course, the garden has not been completely built yet. Only the main part and some areas have been built so far. Lin Baicheng brought Guan Zhilin here for inspection.

"Brother Cheng, is this where you want to live from now on?"

Although the garden has not been built yet, standing outside the front door of the garden, Guan Zhilin's first impression of the garden is that it is "big", very big.

"This is where we will live in the future."

Lin Baicheng smiled and said: "As long as Jiahui is willing, you can move in after the garden is completed. By then, you can live in a yard by yourself, no problem."

The garden in front of us covers a total area of ​​90 acres, which is 60,000 square meters. Although various golf courses, swimming pools, rockery gardens and other places occupy a large area, there are more than a dozen residential yards alone, each of which The courtyard can easily accommodate dozens of people.

The Lin family is small, not counting the bodyguards and servants they hire. They will definitely live together in a fixed area by then. Even if Lin Baicheng's women are included, it will be no problem for each of them to live in a separate courtyard.

"Brother Cheng, you are the best."

Guan Zhilin kissed Lin Baicheng hard on the face. Since she could live in such a big place and live with the Lin family, it was certainly impossible for her to refuse.

As for whether it would be bad for her to live in the Lin family before she got married, Guan Zhilin didn't care at all. Being able to move in was the key point.

"Come on Jiahui, let's go in and take a look."

Lin Baicheng led Guan Zhilin in, followed by the bodyguards.

"Mr. Lin!"

The person in charge of the garden construction was already waiting. He saw Lin Baicheng and Guan Zhilin talking before, so he didn't come to disturb them.

"Gong Zhang, Gong Liu."

Lin Baicheng greeted them and shook hands.

These two people can be regarded as the general persons in charge of garden construction. One of them is from Hutchison Whampoa and is an expert in this field; the other is specially invited from the mainland and is an expert in Su's gardens. How to layout it, what things are needed, etc. Wait, the other party understands.

Under the leadership of the person in charge, Lin Baicheng and others walked inside.

The main body of the garden has been roughly completed, and only a small area is still under construction. However, completion does not mean that it has been decorated, especially the rockeries, botanical gardens and other areas, which have not yet been completed.

Lin Baicheng came here today just to take a look.

After taking a general look at the garden, Guan Zhilin had a clearer understanding of the 'bigness' here. The villa she lives in now is completely different from this place. The single courtyard here is much larger than the villa she lives in now.

Guan Zhilin was certainly very happy to think that he would be able to live in such a big place in the future.

Lin Baicheng asked about the specific time when the garden would be fully completed. After learning that it would be completed before the end of this year, he said nothing.

The preparation and construction of this garden started at the end of July 1979, and it has taken nearly two years now. If it is completed by the end of the year, the total construction time will be nearly two and a half years.

After all, it is a building covering an area of ​​60,000 square meters, and it is a garden. Compared with modern high-rise buildings, it needs to be done more carefully, so it takes longer.

In other words, Lin Baicheng was not short of money and asked several construction teams to build it together, thus saving a lot of time. Otherwise, it would not be completed by the end of this year.

Before noon, Lin Baicheng and Guan Zhilin left by car.

In the car, Guan Zhilin asked curiously: "Brother Cheng, how much did you spend on building that mansion?"

"The initial plan was HK$1 billion."

Lin Baicheng didn't hide anything after hearing this. Guan Zhilin had nothing to hide from Guan Zhilin.

"One billion Hong Kong dollars?!"

Guan Zhilin exclaimed, eyes widening.

Guan Zhilin knew that Lin Baicheng was very rich, with a net worth of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, but one billion Hong Kong dollars was still an astronomical figure to her. The thought of living in a mansion worth one billion Hong Kong dollars in the future made her feel dreamy. a feeling of.

"That's how it started."

Looking at Guan Zhilin's appearance, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but smile: "Later, as my requirements became higher and higher and my net worth increased, more construction funds were required. It is estimated that the final construction cost will be no less than 16 billion Hong Kong dollars.”

This is because Lin Baicheng did not include the value of the antiques used for interior decoration. If the value of those antiques were included, the total cost would not be less than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

"many!"

1 billion Hong Kong dollars and 1.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, in Guan Zhilin's opinion, are both large sums that she cannot imagine.

"Brother Cheng, it's just a place to live. Is it too much to invest so much money?"

“Not much, and it’s more than just a place to live.”

Lin Baicheng said to Guan Zhilin: "It is more of a facade. I am now the richest man in Hong Kong, and I am confident that I will also be the richest man in Hong Kong in the future. Of course, the place where I live must also have a good reputation."

Especially in the next generation, ‘Lin House’ is the face of the entire Lin family.

"Lin Mansion" is Lin Baicheng's name for the Lin Garden Mansion. It is simple and easy to remember.

"oh."

Guan Zhilin nodded in understanding.

When Lin Baicheng saw this, he didn't explain too much. It was enough for Guan Zhilin to have a rough idea. There was no need to know everything.

Lin Baicheng and Guan Zhilin returned to the Lin family's villa in Repulse Bay together, and Guan Zhilin also came over to have lunch together.

"Son, how's it going at Lin's house?"

At the dinner table, Lin's father, Lin Haishan, asked Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng nodded: "It was built according to the design drawings. I am very satisfied."

"If you're still not satisfied after spending more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, how can you justify it?"

At first, Lin Haishan had objections to Lin Baicheng spending so much money to build a mansion. Later, when he learned that his son had a net worth of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, he stopped saying anything. But sometimes I can't help but feel a little emotional, is it easier to make money now than before? Otherwise, why would his son be making more and more?

Of course, Lin Haishan also knows that the fact is not that money is getting easier and easier to make now, but that his son has the ability to make a lot of money. If it were him, he would still be the same as before, running the tea restaurant at home and not making much money.

"That's true. This is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars."

Lin's mother, Zhao Huilan, echoed. She used to be a daughter of a landlord, but even when her family was in its heyday, let's not talk about the issue of permission. Even if it was allowed, she would not have the money to build a mansion as big as Lin's house.

Lin Baicheng smiled and said to the two elders: "Mom, Dad, are you satisfied with the Lin House? After all, after the Lin House is built, our whole family will move in. Unless something unexpected happens, we will live there forever. .”

"Satisfied, how could I be dissatisfied? Even if I live here forever, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life."

Lin Haishan was the first to say that Zhao Huilan used to be a young lady from a landlord's family. Before Lin Baicheng made his fortune, Lin Haishan had always been an ordinary citizen. Now his life is unimaginable before, let alone living in such a big mansion. .

Zhao Huilan also said: "Your father and I have visited Lin's house more times than you. If there was anything we were dissatisfied with, we would have said it long ago."

Except for occasionally attending charity banquets or organizing some charity activities, Father Lin and Mother Lin are very free most of the time, so they will visit Lin's house from time to time, basically at least once a month, so they go Lin Zhai went there more times than Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng mainly watched the progress of the project and sent people to supervise the work and inspect it. He did not go to the site to see it in person very often.

"As long as you are satisfied."

Lin Baicheng felt relieved after hearing this.

Zhao Huilan glanced at Guan Zhilin and said, "Son, over at Lin House, have you arranged a place for Jiahui and Xiaohong to live?" In fact, what she wanted to ask was, when their family moved in, did they have a place to live? Guan Zhilin and the others were not allowed to move in. If it is inappropriate for them to live in the house anonymously, then shouldn't their wedding be put on the agenda?

Lin Baicheng heard this and said, "After we move in, I'm going to let Jiahui and the others move in as well. Dad and Mom, what do you think?"

"If they move in, it will be more lively with more people. This is a good thing." Lin Haishan will naturally not object.

"You can also talk to me more often."

Zhao Huilan also nodded, and then said: "But son, if they live here like this, it may not be good for their reputation. Do you think your marriage is the right one?"

"Mom, this is not urgent."

Lin Baicheng immediately interrupted: "Monogamy is practiced in Xiangjiang now. I need to be prepared. I am not ready to give up on Jiahui and Ah Hong."

"That's true."

Of course Zhao Huilan would not object to her son Lin Baicheng marrying more. She would like to have more daughters-in-law to expand the Lin family.

Guan Zhilin listened, feeling a little disappointed but more relieved. Lin Baicheng didn't say that he was going to marry her now. Of course she would be disappointed, but she had been mentally prepared for this, so it was just a small disappointment.

What reassures Guan Zhilin is that Lin Baicheng is not ready to marry Zhong Chuhong and is unwilling to give up either of them, which means he will not give up on her. This makes her feel full of security.

After lunch, Lin Baicheng took Guan Zhilin for a walk in the garden and had a few words by the way.

Lin Baicheng said: "Jiahui, I didn't say I wanted to marry you before, you must be disappointed, right?" He still wanted to tell Guan Zhilin some things, in case Guan Zhilin had any grudges.

"Well, a little bit."

Guan Zhilin also did not deceive Lin Baicheng and tell her true thoughts.

Nodding, Lin Baicheng said: "Jiahui, you also know that I have many women, but I like the new and never tire of the old. I will not marry any of you. If I do, I will marry all of you. I will never give up on any of you, and the same goes for you, Jiahui."

"But brother Cheng, Xiangjiang is now a monogamous society. What are you going to do? It's impossible. You will never get married in the future, right?"

Guan Zhilin was more confused. She wanted to know how Lin Baicheng could solve this matter.

"It shouldn't matter if you don't get married in the future."

Lin Baicheng said: "I haven't thought about how to solve it specifically, but you believe me, I will handle this matter well. In fact, we are still young, there is no need to get married so early, and we will consider this matter in a few years." Too late." If it weren't for the different times, Lin Baicheng felt that he could wait another dozen years. Anyway, he was only in his early twenties now, and he would only be around thirty-five in another ten years. It would be no problem to get married by then.

A few decades later, more and more men and women are getting married in their thirties, and even those with careers are getting married in their forties.

It’s just that eras are different. A few decades later will be a few decades later, and now is now.

In this day and age, it is normal to get married at the age of eighteen. Getting married after the age of thirty is considered too late, let alone after the age of forty.

"Brother Cheng, I listen to you."

Guan Zhilin nodded when he heard this. For her, as long as Lin Baicheng did not marry another woman and did not abandon her, then everything else was acceptable.

"I won't let you down, Jiahui."

Lin Baicheng solemnly promised that as long as Guan Zhilin didn't let him down, he would not let Guan Zhilin down.

Guan Zhilin didn't say anything, but held Lin Baicheng's arm tightly.

In the afternoon, Lin Baicheng left home, but Guan Zhilin stayed. Lin's mother asked her to stay and play mahjong with her.

Playing mahjong is very popular here in Xiangjiang. Whether you play or not is one thing, but most people can play it.

Why are there mahjong parlors in many Hong Kong dramas and movies? That’s because there are many mahjong parlors in reality and many people like to play mahjong.

Mother Lin also likes to play mahjong when she has nothing to do. She also has some friends of her own, and she plays with them on weekdays. The play is not big, just for fun.

Lin Baicheng left home and went to Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Biological Company.

Since the last accidental discovery, if there were no important matters to deal with, Lin Baicheng would stay in the laboratory and conduct relevant experiments in order to truly find out the ingredients that were accidentally discovered last time.

Only after finding it can Lin Baicheng start studying it.

Although Lin Baicheng did not think that he would be so lucky. An unexpected discovery would allow him to develop a drug that enhances human fitness. However, this ingredient is somehow related to this aspect. Even if it is not what he wanted, some of the data after the research will be very clear. It might also be useful for his research, so Lin Baicheng certainly couldn't let go of this great research opportunity.

Lin Baicheng is not doing this kind of thing alone. His team is also helping. So although he has not found this ingredient for several days, Lin Baicheng believes that sooner or later he will find it again. It is just a matter of time. Just a question.

If possible, Lin Baicheng still hopes that this discovery can lead to some research, so that he can explain it to Claude Rockefeller and the research team.

Let the investor Claude Rockefeller know that his investment will not be in vain; let the team know that they are not wasting time or doing useless work.
