Chapter 103 [Giving a baby]
On the night of July 17, not long after Tang Caiyun lay down, she felt a dull pain in her stomach and couldn't help but say "ouch".
Lin Zhichao immediately paid attention: "How is it?"
Tang Caiyun covered her stomach and said, "My stomach is starting to hurt, and I don't know if the baby is about to be born."
Lin Zhichao immediately got up, put on his clothes, and said, "What are you waiting for? I'll take you to the hospital!"
He has already booked a delivery room at the Sanatorium and Hospital, a private hospital in Happy Valley, which is near Lam Tin Garden, so it is more convenient.
In Hong Kong in this era, medical services are mainly provided by charitable organizations, and the government invests little in social welfare, so a large number of private hospitals have emerged. The Sanatorium and Hospital in Happy Valley, Wan Chai, is the leader in private hospitals in Hong Kong.
It is well-known in pediatrics, cardiovascular department, especially obstetrics and gynecology.
Tang Caiyun said worriedly: "It's windy and rainy outside, do you want to go tomorrow morning?"
Hong Kong is located in the subtropical zone, and this kind of weather is common in summer. Tang Caiyun disliked the dark weather, wind and rain.
Lin Zhichao immediately couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "As you can imagine, no one is afraid of wind and rain when giving birth! The car is outside. I'll ask Xin'er to inform your parents. Let's move in as soon as possible. Don't delay.
, I promise not to let you get caught in the rain."
Seeing Lin Zhichao's orderly arrangements, Tang Caiyun immediately felt at ease.
Soon, both families were ready. Lin Zhichao directly picked up Tang Caiyun and started to go downstairs. If he were an ordinary man, he would naturally not dare to take this job, but Lin Zhichao did not feel the weight at all while holding his wife and children. This was due to his physical constitution.
The reason for the excellent quality.
Then, he put Tang Caiyun in the back seat of the car.
"I'll drive, Xin'er, take care of your sister-in-law, Caiying and I will sit in the front."
The remaining people took Tang Zhongyuan's car and the two cars headed towards the Sanatorium and Hospital, which was more than one kilometer away.
No matter how big the battle is, it's because this kid has a big background.
On the way, Tang Caiyun said: "If I go to the hospital and I can't give birth temporarily, my husband won't blame me for lying about the military situation, right?"
In the middle of the night, the two tired families went out one after another.
While Lin Zhichao was concentrating on driving, he said: "Just treat it as a drill, I blame you for what you did!"
Tang Caiyun was immediately delighted!
Tang Caiying on the side couldn't help but look at Lin Zhichao, and immediately discovered a bright spot.
After arriving at the hospital, Tang Caiyun was carried by Lin Zhichao onto the mobile bed prepared in advance and headed towards the hospital. They had already talked on the phone before coming to the hospital, so everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
After a while, the doctor came out and said: "Mr. Lin, my wife should give birth tonight and tomorrow morning. We will arrange to rest in the VIP delivery room first. If anything happens, we will enter the delivery room."
Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "Okay"
It's a good thing to do it within one day, so as not to have to wait too long in the hospital to give birth.
In the early morning of July 18, Tang Caiyun was in severe pain and was sent to the delivery room.
Less than 20 minutes later, with a crisp cry, Lin Zhichao let out a gentle breath, and his anxious mood eased. He looked at his watch, the time was 03:28, and wrote down the number.
The delivery room was pushed away.
"Mr. Lin, congratulations! Mother and child are safe, you are blessed with a precious son!" the doctor said happily.
He had heard of the name and deeds of the young man in front of him, so the newly born baby boy was naturally extremely important.
Lin Zhichao was really overjoyed and said: "Thank you Dr. Li, thank you!"
Lin Zhichao, who had always been steady, couldn't help but have a smile on his face that couldn't go away. Wu Wenying on the other side had turned to one side to pray, with tears in her eyes.
The Tang family members were naturally smiling and feeling nervous.
The next day, morning.
Lin Zhichao held Tang Caiyun's hand, his eyes full of tenderness. There was a stroller beside him, and Lin Ruihuan was sleeping sweetly.
"Husband, I didn't expect that the birth would go so smoothly. I was so nervous at first."
"Thank you for your hard work! It shows that this boy is a blessing to our family."
Tang Caiyun nodded happily. It was the first time she heard Lin Zhichao talk about "family", and she naturally understood the significance of it.
After a while, family members arrived one after another.
Some got breakfast, some got red envelopes, and they settled in quickly.
Lin Zhichao distributed red envelopes to relevant departments of the hospital, so the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Sanatorium and Hospital knew that a big boss was holding his son today.
In the morning, those who were supposed to go to work went to work, and those who were supposed to go to school went to school. Three women, Wu Wenying, Song Qiaoling, and Axia, were left in the hospital to take care of them.
Cheung Kong Industries.
"Manager Guo, please wrap a 20-yuan red envelope for me for all the staff. Put two 10-yuan red envelopes in each red envelope. Just say that the boss is blessed with a son today."
Guo Xinxin, the manager of the financial department, immediately beamed with joy and said: "Congratulations to the boss, you are blessed with a baby boy. It's perfect. I'll make arrangements right away!"
Lin Zhichao smiled and nodded, feeling quite happy with heaven.
Cheung Kong has about 500 employees and only spends 10,000 silver paper, but he is very happy.
But for the workers, this red envelope is equivalent to ten days' wages.
How low are wages in Hong Kong?
At present, there are a lot of workers in Hong Kong whose wages are 25 to 50 Hong Kong dollars, but the wages of Cheung Kong Industries are 50 to 100 Hong Kong dollars. It is definitely a factory with preferential treatment; compared with British-owned companies such as electric lights, shipyards, trams, and gas companies,
The average salary of workers is 84 yuan, which is about the same.
Moreover, Cheung Kong Industries earns thirteen salaries a year, with benefits on holidays.
The real sweatshops in Hong Kong are textiles and garments, which are also the two industries with the largest labor force. In 1966, the starting point for skilled workers was a daily salary of HK$9 (that is, a monthly salary of less than 300), and ordinary workers only received HK$4 or 5, with a monthly salary of HK$100.
Labor is everywhere. In industries such as toys, plastics, umbrellas, and batteries, this is also the case.
Therefore, it is inevitable that some things will happen. Afterwards, the wages of workers in Hong Kong were rapidly improved, and the Hong Kong government began to pay attention to people's livelihood. Moreover, these things were also opportunities for Lin Zhichao.
Later, Lin Zhichao called Changjiang Real Estate, Changjiang Garment Factory, and Changjiang Bank, and offered all employees 20 Hong Kong dollars.
Suddenly more than 10,000 yuan was spent!
"The boss is happy to have a son. Everyone has a big red envelope of 20 yuan. Don't stop what you are doing!" The management came to the workshop one after another to distribute the red envelopes, but did not forget to give instructions to work.
The reason is simple. The factory order tasks are heavy and the machines cannot stop.
"Thank you boss, my God, the 20 yuan red envelope, the boss is so generous!"
"A big red envelope of 20 yuan, it's time for the boss to get rich and have a son!"
"The boss has a successor. I will try to have another son next year and have a few more."
The entire workshop was filled with joy, and then an aura of wealth rose in the sky over the entire factory.
In the office, Lin Zhichao had calmed down and was working seriously. He was checking the accounts of Cheung Kong Holdings and found that there was a cash flow of 1.32 million Hong Kong dollars in the accounts of Cheung Kong Holdings, and the remaining debt was only 1.725 million Hong Kong dollars (including interest) from Bank of East Asia.
).
Cheung Kong Industries has paid off the money for the machines of Bourne Machinery (1.15 million), paid off the money for building the factory in Sing Tao (500,000), paid off the money for building the factory in Tsuen Wan (200,000), and purchased a piece of land for 12
Ten thousand square feet (500,000).
This is equivalent to Cheung Kong Holdings having a net debt of only HK$400,000 and a lot of assets: a factory covering an area of 240,000 square feet in Tsuen Wan, a factory in Sing Tao, and a large number of machines and materials.
After thinking about it, Lin Zhichao called Guo Quanxin.
"Boss, everyone outside is congratulating you one after another. Everyone is so happy!" Guo Xinxin said with a smile.
Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "I won't go. I have received all the blessings. By the way, I want to convert Yangtze River Corporation's funds into US dollars as much as possible, so you can make arrangements. Calculate how much money can be exchanged.
Without affecting the operation of the factory; the funds must be withdrawn from the Bank of East Asia, then exchanged for U.S. dollars at a foreign bank, and then deposited into the U.S. dollar account of the Bank of East Asia."
Instead of exchanging U.S. dollars for foreign currency from the Bank of East Asia, take care of Jian Dongpu. After all, if Lin Zhichao first exchanges U.S. dollars and then converts them into Hong Kong dollars, Jian Dongpu will lose part of it.
Guo Xinqin immediately understood that the boss made such an arrangement because he was worried about the depreciation of the pound.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
"Um"
In fact, Cheung Kong also has a US dollar account, after all, its products are sold to the United States.
After Guo Xinxin left, Lin Zhichao did some calculations. Assuming that 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars were converted into US dollars (including subsequent exchanges), it would be about 300,000 US dollars; once the pound devalued by 30%, it would become about 5.5 Hong Kong dollars per US dollar.
; That is, 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars has become 1.65 million Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, this does not include handling fees, but in any case, I easily earned more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
As long as you spend money in Hong Kong and the UK, you can count as making money. But even if you spend money in other countries, it is equivalent to avoiding a 30% devaluation, which is still making money.
The next day, evening.
Lin Zhichao came to the Sanatorium and Hospital to pick up Tang Caiyun. Lin Ruihuan and his son were discharged from the hospital, and the family returned to Lam Tin Yayuan in a lively manner.
