The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Saturday, November 20th.

In the evening, Lin Zhichao came home from get off work and saw Li Gaofu's family as guests, and he greeted them warmly.

For these relatives, Lin Zhichao also insists on providing basic care. For example, if a relative comes to Hong Kong to seek refuge, if he finds Lin Zhichao, he will be arranged to work in the Tsuen Wan factory, at least with a place to stay. However, Lin Zhichao will not take the initiative to invite relatives from the mainland to Hong Kong. After all, he has no direct relatives in the mainland.

Chen Shufang quickly said worriedly: "Zhichao, Ah Fu has been out for almost half a month. Do you have any news?"

It seems that this is the main purpose of Chen Shufang bringing her family as guests.

Lin Zhichao smiled and sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said: "What is Afu? Cousin, you have to change your ways and respect Brother Gao Fu. Others will be prosperous when they come back. If you do this, be careful if he marries you." A concubine."

There was not much joking tone in his words, but some seriousness.

When Chen Shufang heard this, she jumped up anxiously, and she no longer cared about Li Gaofu's safety.

"He dares! I'll bring him a son and a daughter. There's no credit but hard work." After speaking, he looked at Li's father and Li mother in tears.

Unexpectedly, Li's father and Li's mother reacted a little slower, not sure if it was intentional.

After a long time, Dad Li said: "How can it be so easy to get rich? It's all about earning some desperate money. You worry about what to do in the future!"

Having said that, Li's father and Li's mother have shown something - protecting their son; at the same time, the old couple also forgot one thing - when Chen Shufang took them in, she had a good attitude and was considered a good daughter-in-law.

Such is human nature!

Chen Shufang naturally felt the attitude of the second elder. She was not stupid, but she didn't dare to show embarrassment to the second elder. After all, Li Gaofu was considered prosperous last year.

After such a farce, Chen Shufang immediately calmed down.

Seeing this, Father Li became concerned about his son's situation, and asked again: "Zhi Chao, Gao Fu him."

Lin Zhichao immediately waved his hand and said: "Uncle, don't worry! There is no risk in this route. Brother Gao Fu may have already arrived in Japan at this time. It is expected to arrive in Hong Kong in more than half a month."

It only takes seven or eight days to travel from Hong Kong to Weihaiwei, and the same is true for returning to Hong Kong from Japan, but the time at the port is longer, after all, the goods are not loaded on the ship so quickly. At one time, 30 to 40 days is more reasonable.

In fact, there must be risks. Shipping is inherently risky. Otherwise, in this era, why does shipping have such a high rate of return?

At the same time, I am indeed facing the situation I encountered with the G Navy. Whether others can fire at that time may depend entirely on my mood.

But as far as Lin Zhichao knew, during this period, by shipping, many pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong were transported to the JF district for a conference, and nothing major happened. Based on this, the risk is still very low, but that is for Lin Zhichao's information.

Li Gaofu must be aware of the risks involved, but he still chooses not to turn back. After all, it takes hard work to make a fortune. As for his family, he believes Lin Zhichao will still take care of him.

I will take care of your wife and daughter.

"Zhichao, you are now rich, why don't you hire a servant to help your grandma?" After a while, Li Ma brought the dishes to the table and said.

As soon as Li Ma arrived at the Lin family, Li Ma helped Wu Wenying and was always trying to please her.

On the contrary, Chen Shufang's performance was a bit poor, and she didn't even know how to flatter Lin Zhichao.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "I can't find the right one at this time, so I'm going to ask people around me soon."

To be honest, living in this kind of house, Lin Zhichao was not interested in finding a servant. In addition, Wu Wenying was worried about finding a "dishonest" servant, so she kept preventing Lin Zhichao from finding a servant.

However, Tang Caiyun was about to get married, and it would be difficult to find a servant, especially after she was pregnant with a baby.

Li's mother immediately showed her courtesy and said: "You are always aloof, so it is difficult for you to meet the daughter of a poor family. I know a little girl from Shunde who is hard-working and honest. If you are interested, I will let her come. Try it."

When talking about this matter, Lin Zhichao immediately became serious.

"What's the family situation like? What does my father do, and what does my mother do? Is there anyone in the family who gambles? Cousin, you have to investigate clearly before introducing me."

In the end, it was inevitable to show the seriousness of a big shot.

Mother Li immediately calmed down, and then said: "I will go and inquire again. Don't worry, I will find out all three generations of his ancestors before recommending him to you."

"Thank you, cousin!"

In fact, in this way, Lin Zhichao also has channels. There are so many working-class families in Cheung Kong Industries. If he inquires, he can naturally find a suitable one.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhichao decided to deal with it as one thing.

After dinner, Lin Zhichao asked the driver to take his cousin and his family home. Chen Shufang was sitting in the car, feeling envious and thinking about 'marrying a concubine'. Finally, an idea flashed in her mind - if Li Gaofu really let her live in a mansion and get in a car, she would marry his concubine.

"Shufang, please be more respectful to Zhichao from now on! Gao Fu has the opportunity he has today because of the support of others. If it were another relative, it would be great if someone could reward you with a bowl of rice. Zhichao also lent Gao Fu 100,000 yuan , it shows that he is very kind to our family." Dad Li suddenly taught him a lesson.

Chen Shufang immediately said aggrievedly: "Dad, how dare I be disrespectful to his big boss!"

In fact, Chen Shufang was not very grateful and always thought that Lin Zhichao was repaying the kindness of taking her in.

That was true, but she shouldn't take it for granted.

Dad Li said: "It's good to know, but you should pay special attention to it in the future!"

Li Ma said: "Yes, Shufang, Zhichao is a very lucky person in our family. When we become prosperous, their family will be the first one we visit during holidays."

Finally, the son is about to have a future, and the old couple still understands it, not to mention the son's attitude speaks for itself.

"I got it!"

Thinking that her husband was about to become rich, Chen Shufang finally bowed to everyone, or in other words, she was giving in to money.

After the start of a new week, the price of gold at the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Trade Center began to trend downward. The reason is that the mainland officially allows people to deposit and redeem gold; of course, there are many conditions, such as gold can only be withdrawn on a regular basis for one year, with a limit of one, two, or three No more than once per month.

Even so, major cities in the mainland, especially banks in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, have experienced a wave of bank runs by the public - those who deposited little but withdrew too much.

On the morning of Wednesday (24th), Lin Zhichao came to the Yangtze River Bank.

"Boss, it seems that we won't make much money this time. According to the telegraph, the gold is already at sea. At the same time, the mainland has developed gold deposits and redemptions, which will inevitably make some imported gold dealers wait and see." Li Shaoji analyzed.

Lin Zhichao was sitting in his seat with a relaxed expression, he just made less money; more importantly, he knew that gold deposits and redemptions in the mainland would be canceled soon, and the Jiang family would not watch a large amount of gold and silver flowing into the people.

In fact, although the Jiang family 'scrounged' a lot of gold in the mainland, only a small part of this gold was brought to Taiwan, and almost all the rest was used for military expenses. The remaining batch of gold was enough for them to spend in Taiwan until 1950, which was regarded as stable funds.

To say that Taiwan and the island developed on the basis of that batch of gold are just brainless people thinking that way.

The Chinese are very intelligent and can endure hardships and hard work, so there is almost no possibility of poverty.

"What do you think?" Lin Zhichao asked.

Lee Shau Kee said: "Cash out the money within two days and then buy when the opportunity arises! In this way, we can still get a profit of 80,000 to 90,000 Hong Kong dollars."

It looked like I was making a lot of money, but in fact I bought more than 2.8 million Hong Kong dollar orders. The profit was nothing.

As the boss, Lin Zhichao had his concerns and said: "This will inevitably cause gold instability, which will affect our original intention of this transaction. In this way, follow them to cash out and divide it into three or four days."

In Lin Zhichao’s view, business can involve intrigues; but if you want to make it big, you must always learn to be honest and virtuous.

This time he was invited to raise the price of gold. If he escaped early in order to make a profit, although Liao Baoshan and others would not say anything, everyone would still have opinions. Of course, Lin Zhichao could not raise prices for Chaozhou gold dealers again and again, so this time he treated it as returning a favor.

Li Zhaoji immediately admired Lin Zhichao's character - he was loyal and aware of the overall situation, and felt that it was worth learning from him. At the same time, he felt that he was lucky to have such a good boss.

"Okay, I'll control it."

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then added: "The mainland may soon cancel gold deposits, so there is no need to consider that factor. At the same time, gold can definitely touch 500 Hong Kong dollars per tael this year. Therefore, after selling, the price is slightly lower , just absorb it again.”

At this time, gold has risen to 465 Hong Kong dollars per tael. Even if it falls again, it will not fall below 450 Hong Kong dollars.

Li Shauji's eyes lit up, and he suddenly got inspiration, and said confidently: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely find the right time."

The other side.

Several gold speculators from Chaoshan saw that there was no violent short selling on the Yangtze River Bank, and they really admired Lin Zhichao's character. Everyone unanimously reduced the number of short sales to avoid a sharp drop in gold.

The result came the next day (Thursday).

There are news reports: On Tuesday (23rd), there was a run on gold in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and seven people died. Therefore, the government of the Republic of China announced the cancellation of gold deposits.

For a while, the demand for gold in the black market in the mainland became active again, and the gold in the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Exchange also continued to rise, and soon rose to 470 Hong Kong dollars per tael.

As a result, Chaozhou gold merchants and Changjiang Yinhao began to gradually sell a large amount of gold, and immediately made a lot of money. Under such a large number of selling orders, the price of gold will naturally be suppressed, giving the opportunity to buy the bottom.

In the morning, Tang Zhongyuan's family gathered together to have breakfast.

Suddenly, Tang Caiyun felt like vomiting and couldn't help making a retching sound. Then she hurried to the bathroom.

"I gonna go see!"

Song Qiaoling followed in immediately and patted Tang Caiyun on the back.

"Sorry, Mommy!"

After sorting it out, Tang Caiyun said apologetically.

Song Qiaoling asked with concern: "Do you feel like vomiting?"

Tang Caiyun nodded and said, "Well, I suddenly felt a little nauseous."

At this time, Song Qiaoling had a vague guess and immediately said: "Did you and Zhichao sleep in the same room?"

Tang Caiyun suddenly became shy and said coquettishly: "Mommy! Why are you asking this? It's true!"

It's not like her parents will blame her. She knows that her parents attach great importance to this son-in-law. Even if this happens, they will pretend not to know, let alone scold them.

Just out of shyness!

"Silly girl! What I mean is that if you are in the same room, you should pay attention to whether you are pregnant. After all, if you retching and want to vomit for no reason, it is probably morning sickness." Song Qiaoling said with a smile.

There is only one month and eight days left for the wedding between my daughter and Lin Zhichao, so why be so harsh?

To put it bluntly, after the two got engaged, they had already stabilized.

Tang Caiyun raised her head sharply, her eyes full of surprise, and said, "Really? Good mother, tell me, how do you identify this?"

"You girl! You're not shy now!" Song Qiaoling teased her daughter.

As everyone knows, Tang Caiyun has been really worried recently. After all, she and Lin Zhichao have been having sex since late August. Although the frequency is small (no chance), after all, it spans such a long time and she has not been pregnant, so she has to worry.

Not only does Lin Zhichao's family have a small family, but also Lin Zhichao himself is an entrepreneurial tycoon. It would be unimaginable if he had no descendants.

By then, Tang Caiyun felt that she might have taken the initiative to take a concubine for her husband.

Since the two houses were upstairs and downstairs, Tang Caiyun retched several times and couldn't help but go upstairs to find Lin Zhichao.

"Mom, what's wrong with sister?" Tang Caiying asked with concern.

The two of them were playing riddles. Her father didn't speak and her two brothers were indifferent. Only she felt that she was being left out. Why didn't her sister share it with her?

Song Qiaoling stared at her second daughter and said, "It's nothing. You've also experienced loss of appetite in the morning!"

Tang Caiying was naturally very smart and would not believe it, but she knew that she could not find out from her mother, so she hurriedly finished her breakfast and ran up to Lin Xiner in the name of looking for her.

Tang Zhongyuan said: "If it is true, don't talk about it everywhere!"

Song Qiaoling rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "I don't know yet!"

She also knew that if the baby was a boy, her daughter would have a lot less to worry about. When she gave birth to two daughters, her father-in-law and mother-in-law gossiped a lot. It was such a hard life that they even offered to marry their son a concubine.

As for my current son-in-law, I am afraid that he pays more attention to this aspect. After all, the population is not prosperous, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, so there is no reason why he does not want to pass it on.

Here, Tang Caiyun came to Lin Zhichao's house. After greeting Wu Wenying and Lin Xiner, she pulled Lin Zhichao to the bedroom. Wu Wenying and Lin Xiner were left a little stunned. This girl (Sister Caiyun) was a little unusual today, why did she take the initiative?

"Brother Zhichao, guess what good news I have for you?" Tang Caiyun stood in front of Lin Zhichao, with a happy expression on her face.

When Lin Zhichao saw this, he had already guessed it, but he was a romantic person.

"Let me guess, did Caiyun dream about me last night?"

Tang Caiyun immediately said coyly: "No. Although I often dream about you!"

Especially after the relationship between the two has progressed, since they only get close once a week, it is common for the girl to have a child.

"That's it! Isn't that Caiyun?"

Soon, Tang Caiyun found out that Lin Zhichao was deliberately teasing her, and immediately fell into Lin Zhichao's arms and refused!

"Haha, you girl, we are both so healthy, how could you not be pregnant? Recently, you have been worrying a lot, which makes me feel so heartbroken, and I am afraid of making matters worse, so I dare not enlighten you!"

Men are good at lying. Lin Zhichao's whole body froze that time, which put a lot of pressure on Tang Caiyun. At that time, Tang Caiyun knew that if she couldn't get pregnant, all the pressure would be on her.

However, Tang Caiyun didn't care about that, she was full of happiness at this time.

"Brother Zhichao, you are so kind!"

While the two were chatting with each other, the door was opened, and it was Tang Caiying.

Lin Zhishan would not be surprised by this kind of behavior. First of all, the door is ajar rather than closed. Secondly, the two sisters will not be clearly distinguished from each other in the future.

"It's broad daylight, can you two be careful about your appearance?" Tang Caiying said carelessly.

The phrase 'pay attention to image' came from Lin Zhichao, but she used it quickly and flexibly.

Next, Tang Caiying desperately asked if there was something hidden from her, as if she didn't tell her that it was Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun who jointly bullied her.

Lin Zhichao smiled but said nothing. Isn't it a good thing that the two sisters have a good relationship?

Tang Caiyun couldn't stand her sister's curiosity, and finally said tactfully: "I don't know if this is true, but I seem to be pregnant, and you are going to be your aunt!" At this time, she was no longer shy, but showed happiness.

Tang Caiying was stunned for a long time, and then she said gloomily: "Are you going to be an aunt now?"

Lin Zhichao knew that the two sisters had a very good relationship. Tang Caiying was not a messy girl, she just realized that she was about to lose a very pure sister.

So, Lin Zhichao explained: "We are getting married in 39 days. You should also be prepared to be my sister-in-law and the aunt to the child in your sister's belly. From now on, your relationship with your sister will remain the same, and you will treat me as It doesn’t matter whether it’s big or small, it won’t have any impact.”

Tang Caiying's face turned red for a rare moment, and she immediately said: "I'm not too disrespectful to you, brother-in-law!"

Soon, her mood suddenly became clear, and she did not feel sad about 'losing' her sister.
