The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

"Lin Sheng, is there something wrong with your batch of medicine?"

Hearing the words of Gao Shiliang, the owner of the medicine store, Lin Zhichao's heart skipped a beat, Zhang Yuliang really dared to trick him!

"Is it fake medicine?"

Lin Zhichao didn't get angry immediately, if the medicine is fake, it will be easy!

He has plenty of ways to clean up the Zhang family. After all, there are a large number of forces behind Oxfam.

Gao Shiliang said: "That's not true! It's just that this batch of Sandurian western medicine is a slightly toxic anti-parasitic medicine from Jializi Pharmaceutical Company. This 06g base tablet has low toxicity and serious side effects. If it is made into Fuji powder, it will be harmful to adults." If you eat one tablet, you will feel dizzy and drowsy continuously; if a child eats it, he will even suffer from vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness. Therefore, our medicine store stopped wholesale of this kind of Shandulian a year ago. This Zhang Zhushan family is trying to trick you into not knowing medicine. Woolen cloth!"

Lin Zhichao was a little stunned. The co-author was not a counterfeit medicine, but a medicine that could not be sold.

Still, he smiled.

Du Songming said angrily: "Lin Sheng, the Zhang family can handle this matter, I will go to them to exchange the goods."

Lin Zhichao grabbed Du Songming and said, "President Du, since Zhang Yuliang dares to sell to us, he has already thought of a countermeasure. If you don't believe me, you can read the contract. The drug information is absolutely complete and he will not deceive us."

Du Songming immediately understood that Zhang Yuliang was bullying them because they didn't know medicine.

"Then what should we do now? There is a problem with the medicine, and it must not appear on the market. It is a signboard for smashing Oxfam." Du Songming said resolutely.

If Lin Zhichao dared to say that he would use this medicine, he would immediately resign and not do it.

Lin Zhichao nodded with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter! I can afford to pay only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. However, this matter must be reported to the board of directors to see if there is anything they can do. After all, Mrs. Bess is a hydrology expert, and she has no problem with this disease." There is a certain understanding.”

Du Songming quickly understood the truth. It was false to report to the board of directors, and it was true to ask the husband of the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau behind Mrs. Bess to seek justice.

"But in this case, we're afraid we'll have to prepare new insecticides?"

After Lin Zhichao thought for a while, he said to Gao Shiliang: "Boss Gao, this Sandeurian medicine is too powerful and too toxic, but would it be feasible if it was made into a smaller dose of flower candy? After all, the British Bian did not say that the production of this product is prohibited, which means it is legal."

Gao Shiliang said: "Huatatang? Is it some kind of American insecticide that contains sucrose, flour, essence, etc.?"

Due to the U.S. embargo, Hong Kong cannot obtain U.S. anti-pesticides, but Gao Shiliang is still knowledgeable.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Yes. In the final analysis, this medicine only has serious side effects, but if you reduce the proportion and mix sugar, flour, essence, and even soybean powder, it can be used. Of course, only one person can take one." If you can successfully develop it, what if you can add another product in the future?"

Gao Shiliang's eyes lit up and he said, "No problem, I'll test it right away to make sure there's nothing wrong with the flower tart candy. After all, it's wholesale from my medicine store. I will be responsible to the end."

This kind of Sandurian has been consumed by many people in the past few years. At most, it has serious side effects, but it has not actually caused any problems.

That being the case, Gao Shiliang certainly dared to guarantee it.

The other side.

After Zhang Yujie returned to China, he asked Zhang Yuliang: "Fourth Brother, I heard that you sold the unsold lotus in the warehouse. Which fool or evil spirit bought it?"

He really looked up to his fourth brother for being able to sell that batch of goods. He didn't expect that this kid was so powerful that he could even sell medicines that he couldn't sell.

Zhang Yuliang said with some pride: "Brother, even if you know a little bit about the medicine, I can't even sell it. It's bad luck. Someone who doesn't know the medicine comes here and says he wants to do charity. I I thought to myself, this stuff is for those poor people. What’s the point of worrying about some side effects? It’s not like I’ve never eaten it before. So I took advantage of the situation and sold it! Guess who the buyer is?”

Zhang Yujie was even more relieved when he heard that it was a charity meal for the poor. The poor are not that delicate, so some side effects are nothing!

"Who is it? Who takes the initiative to help us share our worries? I have to buy him a drink!"

Zhang Yuliang then said: "Just buy me a drink. We are not familiar with others!"

Not being familiar with him meant that his fourth brother was acting unkindly. Of course, Zhang Yujie didn't take it to heart; the fourth brother had read a lot of books and was very smart, so he usually wouldn't leave anything to others. To be honest, he himself was a little afraid that the fourth child would threaten his status.

"who is it?"

"Lin Zhichao, Lin Zhichao of the Shunde Chamber of Commerce!"

Zhang Yujie's eyes suddenly widened and he asked uncertainly: "Ship King Lin Zhichao?"

Zhang Yuliang said with a smile: "Isn't that him? Brother, you are really looking up to him. He is not the king of ships. He has only been in power for a few years and he can still be king. At most, he can just make peace with those foreign devils. If you don’t care about it, you’ll be a foreigner’s dog!”

Zhang Yujie said angrily: "Asshole, you are really arrogant! Others just have good relations with the foreign devils, are supported by HSBC Bank, and appreciated by the top officials of the Hong Kong government. Because of this, we can't mess with him. Don't forget, who is Hong Kong? The world!"

Zhang Yuliang was suddenly a little afraid of his eldest brother. The eldest brother made a great contribution to the Zhang family's success. At least the huge profits made in Western medicine in the past few years were all led by his eldest brother.

"He just has a good relationship with the foreign devils. How can anyone else help him with such a thing? What's more, my contract clearly states that nothing will happen."

Zhang Yujie had no choice but to ask for the detailed process. After learning that Zhang Yuliang had not revealed any tricks, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that it has happened, forget it! Don't be so arrogant next time. There is always someone we can't afford to offend. If Lin Zhichao comes to change the medicine, change it to him to avoid trouble."

In his opinion, the medicine was not fake, and there was no problem with the contract. Even if Lin Zhichao questioned him, the most he would say was that his brother was ignorant and just wanted to replace it with a batch of Sandulian.

Zhang Yuliang gave in to his brother's pressure and said, "I know! He doesn't understand medicine either, so he might have used it!"

Zhang Yujie was a little angry in his heart, but he couldn't direct it on Zhang Yuliang. Otherwise, if his mother found out, he would inevitably be scolded - brothers are not united. Especially after the "accidental" death of the second child this year, my mother gave her many instructions - brothers should unite.

But Zhang Yuliang was a little unconvinced. In his opinion, the Shunde Chamber of Commerce behind Lin Zhichao was not as strong as their Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, so why should they be afraid of him. The contract was clear and clear, and it was Lin Zhichao's lack of understanding that made him lose money.

Mrs. Bess angrily told her husband Shi Yizhi about Zhu Xingxing's good deeds.

"My dear, this group of people even dares to defraud charities. They are really unscrupulous. You must give them some color!"

Shi Yizhi's first reaction was: "Is this what Lin Zhichao told you?"

He suspected that Lin Zhichao had some quarrel with the Zhang family and was using this matter to avenge himself, and he became a pawn. At the same time, European Coast Company and Zhu Xingxing would submit reports to the Industrial and Commercial Administration on a regular basis, so naturally he, the director, would benefit the most.

Mrs. Bess said: "No! This is what Mr. Du reported to the board of directors. Mr. Lin was not present at the time. Moreover, Mr. Lin was so busy that he took the initiative to solve the matter now, saying that this batch of Sandulus would be produced in the United States. By using the 'Flower Tart Sugar', the side effects can be controlled to a minimum."

Shi Yizhi nodded. He thought it was not Lin Zhichao's scheming, at least he was not taking the initiative to provoke the Zhang family and then use himself to attack his opponents.

After thinking about it, Shi Yizhi said: "Whether this is a big deal or a small matter, it mainly depends on Mrs. Ge Mulian's attitude, because she is now the chairman of Oxfam. And you are the vice chairman, so you need to share Mrs. Ge Mulian's worries. After you announce the establishment of Oxfam, I will conduct a surprise inspection of European Coast Company and Zhu Xingxing. I will also focus on inspecting them in the future. The best result is to let them take the initiative to donate money to Oxfam. In this way That’s how we maximize the results. After all, it’s impossible to defeat them.”

He is sensible and understands what Oxfam needs and what his wife needs.

Mrs. Bess said: "Why not act immediately and show Mrs. Gomulin what we have done?"

Shi Yizhi said with a smile: "Mrs. Graham is the chairman of Oxfam. She is most concerned about how much money Oxfam can raise. And I guess that the Zhang family does not know that behind the charity there is the Madam of the Governor of Hong Kong and the Industrial and Commercial Department. Madam, otherwise they are fools and should know better than to offend. Therefore, once Oxfam holds a press conference, the Zhang family will understand where they made a mistake, and they will also think of ways to make up for it."

When Mrs. Bess heard this, she immediately said with admiration: "My dear, you are so awesome! If the Zhang family donates funds by then, I will have a share of the credit. And Mrs. Ge Mulian will definitely look at us with admiration."

Shi Yizhi nodded and said fiercely: "This time, I want to give the Zhang family a hard time. They have made tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the past few years and are extremely rich."

It's all about the Zhang family earning a lot. Most people only think it's a few million, but the actual amount is tens of millions. Shi Yizhi knows this.

Mid-December.

In the headquarters office of Global Shipping, Lin Zhichao is planning the development plan.

In the early ten days of this year, a major smog incident occurred in London, and tens of thousands of people died. Now that it's gone, it's time to consider expanding the fleet.

In the past, Lin Zhichao was worried that ships could not be rented out, so he felt that shipping should be developed conservatively from 1953 to 1955. As a result, Lin Zhichao discovered that the demand for freighters in Japan's economic development was also increasing. Although the price dropped, it did not hinder the demand for shipping.

At the same time, Lin Zhichao also calculated that because many of the global shipping companies had long-term contracts, even from 1953 to 1955, based on the current fleet size, the annual net profit was about 20 million US dollars.

With such a huge amount of funds, it is really a waste not to spend a lot of money to develop shipping. The purchased second-hand freighter can be rented cheaply and long-term, as long as the lease is less than the second half of 1956.

At the same time, starting in 1954, it wanted to enter the oil tanker field, and its business also went to Europe and the United States. This was the highlight of the investment.

Therefore, we still need to do our best to develop shipping. If we develop the carrying capacity of 20 million tons earlier, we can also form a kind of "invisible suppression" on competitors.

Lin Zhichao looked through Global Shipping's financial statements. The cash flow on the account was more than 5.3 million US dollars. After excluding this month's operating expenses, there was about 5 million US dollars left, while Global Shipping's debt was only 3.3 million US dollars.

Time to expand the fleet!

This time, there is no debt, no installments, and ships are purchased according to the company's operating funds. This is also a development trend in the past one or two years.

Take out 4 million US dollars to buy ships of 50,000 to 70,000 tons, and the remaining 1 million US dollars will continue to support real estate.

After setting the goal, Lin Zhichao immediately organized a management meeting to announce the development plan.

In the conference room.

Lin Zhichao said: "From now on, Global Shipping will only purchase large ships of more than 10,000 tons, which facilitates management and saves operating costs. Manager Feng, first take people to London to inspect the shipping market. I have already passed the agreement with several brokerage companies gas."

Global Shipping is a major customer in the European shipping market. It is no longer limited to Willis and even has agents in France.

Feng Yongfa nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave as soon as possible."

As his subordinates, they all know that Lin Zhichao likes to train them. When inspecting the shipping market, they also have to summarize the development of the European shipping industry, and they also need to bring a report when they come back to circulate to the whole company.

In the words of the boss - I am studying hard myself, if you as the management do not study, how can you keep up with the pace of the company's development.

Although Global Shipping has been recruiting elite talents, these people can only start from the bottom management, and the boss still likes to use motivated old people.

"Manager Gao, you are also going to Japan to inspect the shipping market and write a report to the company to facilitate business negotiations at that time. At the same time, we must also increase fixed ocean routes."

Gao Qiqiang said while recording: "Well, we will be ready."

Lin Zhichao is very satisfied with his layout. Although he understands a trend in shipping, it is only a rough idea after all. Therefore, he has been persisting in studying, investigating and analyzing the current shipping situation.

Afterwards, the entire global shipping was like a high-speed machine, and when it started to operate, the global shipping has the potential of a first-class modern enterprise.

When Zhang Yujie received an invitation letter, his face immediately changed drastically.

The invitation letter stated that 'Oxfam' would be established on December 16, and Mr. Zhang Yujie was specially invited to attend. It also contained an introduction to 'Oxfam', which was sponsored by the Governor's wife, Mrs. Margaret Koh, Mrs. Shi Yizhi, Mrs. Bess, and Lam Chi-chao. A charitable organization jointly initiated by his wife Xu Caiying and Bishop He Huaming of the Anglican Church.

Zhang Yujie suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and co-authored with his fourth brother to sell the inferior medicine to the governor's wife.

He hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the news, and returned home angrily, preparing to hold a family meeting to clean up his fourth brother.

McDonald's No. 8, Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Yujie threw the invitation letter to Zhang Yuliang and said, "Fourth Brother, you have caused a terrible disaster!"

Zhang Yuliang was stunned, thinking that the elder brother would never end, and he would hit himself if he caught a trivial matter. He really doubted the cause of the second brother's death.

Mother Guo Geng said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, the family must be harmonious and united. Our Zhang family can be where we are today because of the unity of the whole family, not the credit of any one person."

Zhang Yujie's arrogance suddenly dropped, and he could only hold his breath and said: "Mother, it's just that the fourth child got into a big trouble this time, and I lost my temper a little."

Guo Geng said nonchalantly: "What kind of disaster could there be? It's like our family came to Hong Kong from Guangdong Province. We were afraid that there would be a bandit island on the way, so we put our silver coins in the rotten vegetables and made it all the way without any danger." But now, the Zhang family's career has developed, and our whole family works together, so we can handle anything."

Zhang Yujie could only say: "That's what my mother taught me!"

Guo Geng said to Zhang Yuliang again: "Your elder brother said that you got into trouble. Please explain it yourself. Don't deliberately avoid the important and take the easy."

Zhang Yuliang also had some fear on his face at this time. According to the information in this invitation letter, he sold inferior medicine to a charity organization composed of a group of powerful wives, especially the wife of the Governor of Hong Kong and the wife of the Industrial and Commercial Department. Their men could easily Take care of the Zhang family.

"That's right. There is nothing wrong with this batch of medicines. They are neither fake nor expired medicines. I think there is no problem. Even if the Governor of Hong Kong interferes, we can also ask a barrister to defend them. The medicines are produced by the British and we are just agents. Shang. On the contrary, if the medicine is not satisfactory, they should blame Lin Zhichao for being ignorant and doing the wrong thing."

Zhang Yuliang's sophistry actually convinced Guo Geng and other family members. Only Zhang Yujie took a deeper look, but with his mother here, he did not dare to threaten the fourth child.

I saw Guo Geng said: "What the fourth brother said makes sense. At most, this matter will offend this young man named Lin Zhichao. But no matter what, we are legal and compliant, and we are not afraid of him asking for guilt. The Zhang family is not a vegetarian. Yes, the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce is not a vegetarian, so let this matter go and don't hurt the unity of the brothers. Boss, what do you think?" After saying that, he stared at Zhang Yujie.

Zhang Yujie said quickly: "What mother said was that the fourth child had no problem with his performance this time. On the contrary, he was more alert and solved a problem for the company."

Now he can only pray that he will not be targeted by the Industrial and Commercial Administration. If he is really targeted, he can only ask the fourth child to review again in the family meeting room, and arrange for the fourth child to go to the idle job to exercise.

Anyway, things have happened, and he has to think of the best way to deal with it.

Central.

Oxfam held a founding and fund-raising meeting in the Anglican Cathedral. It invited Hong Kong's upper-class Chinese and British people to participate, and also invited major newspapers to report on it.

On that day, hundreds of celebrities smelled the smell and came to participate, making it very lively. After all, with Ge Mulian, the wife of the local emperor, and Anglican Bishop He Huaming, there is no shortage of popularity.

What makes many people surprised is that the wife of the Director of the Industrial and Commercial Department, a wealthy Chinese wife, can actually be ranked as the vice chairman; on the contrary, He Huaming is only a consultant and has no specific position.

It was not until after Gao Mulian's speech that everyone discovered that the purpose of Oxfam is that it has no religious or political background or purpose, and it has never belonged to or served any religious or political group. The management team is mostly volunteers from the society.

As a result, many people have less worries, such as people from charity organizations such as Po Leung Kuk and Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. Because in this way, they don't have to worry about foreigners trying to get a share of the Chinese pie - to win over people's hearts and gain honors.

"Papa" warm applause rang out.

The second speaker was Mrs. Bess. She mainly gave a speech on "Hong Kong's Hydrological Environment and Parasite Protection", which was Oxfam's first signature campaign.

After hearing Mrs. Bess's speech, Zhang Yujie quickly asked the people around him who knew English what they meant. Naturally, he was a little frightened. He did not expect that this plan was proposed by Mrs. Bess.

So, the Zhang family has already offended Shi Yizhi, director of the Industrial and Commercial Administration.

This little beast is the fourth child!

Xu Caiying was the third speaker. The people in the audience were very surprised. They quickly understood that behind Xu Caiying was Lin Zhichao. According to today's specifications, it can be known that Lin Zhichao has a very good relationship with the Hong Kong Governor.

Xu Caiying's speech was mainly about donations. She led a donation of 1 million Hong Kong dollars as start-up capital, and hoped that today's guests would be generous. He also elaborated on Oxfam’s later sources of funding - it does not accept overseas donations, but mainly raises donations from the Hong Kong public, as well as donations from commercial structures.

In fact, since Lin Zhichao dared to establish Oxfam, he could not let Oxfam have no funds. He would donate at least 1 million Hong Kong dollars every year, which is enough to support a charitable organization.

What's more, with so many people now attracted, it's obviously impossible to have no appeal.

After that, He Huaming also delivered a speech as the general counsel.

The final donation was still good, with more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. Ge Mulian was very happy to come on stage again and said.

Zhang Yujie had already thought helplessly in the audience that he hoped that he would donate 50,000 Hong Kong dollars today, and the previous things would be cancelled.

As everyone knows, the Industrial and Commercial Administration is already sharpening its skills!
