In the office of Changjiang Real Estate, Lin Zhichao met with Li Shauji.
He also did not expect that this ‘Asian stock god’, one of the four major families in later generations, would work for him.
Of course, he also understood that these were just temporary shelters for Lee Shau Kee, and it was impossible for others to work for a long time, so he didn't think much about it.
"Shau Kee, I will give you a monthly salary of 200 Hong Kong dollars, and a monthly bonus based on performance; you can just open this 'Yangtze River Bank' for me, and recruit any talents I need. As for your personal speculation in foreign exchange and gold,
I won’t interfere, I’m free enough.”
The conditions were excellent, but Lee Shau Kee immediately said: "Boss Lin, I'm afraid there is one more thing I want to tell you. If I want to resign in the future, I hope you can understand."
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Don't worry! I know that you can live a comfortable life even if you flexibly place orders and trade on Bonham East Street. So, you can ask me to resign at any time, and I will not stop you, let alone blame you.
you."
When Li Shauji heard this, he felt very happy. After all, he could have lived a prosperous life on Bonham East Street with his skills.
"Thank you, Boss Lin, for your appreciation!"
The two quickly reached an agreement, and Lee Shau Kee immediately went to work to plan the decoration of the bank and recruit staff for Lin Zhichao, leaving almost all the power to Lee Shau Kee.
Lin Zhichao was still very reassured about Li Zhaoji's character. A cunning person could make a profit for a while, but he would never achieve great success. What's more, 'Changjiang Bank' was a subsidiary of Yangtze Real Estate, and the financial aspects were still left to Zhou Fuzhao.
The leadership department. The specific simple decoration is the matter of the Changjiang Real Estate Engineering Department. Li Zhaoji can just give some opinions.
In March, spring arrived in Hong Kong. Lin Zhichao took Tang Caiyun to take the new Peak Tram to the Peak of Victoria Peak.
The Peak Tram began operation in 1888, starting from Garden Road in Central, passing through Kennedy Road Station, Macdonald Road Station, May Road Station, Barker Road Station, and finally arrived at the Peak Terminus.
In fact, very few people get off or board the train at the four stations in the middle, so many cable cars don’t even stop. Among them, Mei Dao Station is 180 meters above sea level, and Baijiadao Station is 363 meters above sea level, which is 397 meters away from the summit terminal.
So close.
"Hey, there's a new cable car!" Tang Caiyun said in surprise.
At this moment, she was dressed like a young lady from the beach, with a slim embroidered dress that outlined her graceful figure, revealing her arms as white as lotus roots.
Why doesn't Lin Zhichao look for girls from rich families in Guangdong Province? Because in terms of appearance, the girls and socialites from Shanghaitan are enough to dazzle the whole country, and their thoughts are naturally more avant-garde.
After all, as a modern person, if he were really a woman from the Qing Dynasty, he might not be able to accept any of them. What's the point of having three wives and four concubines? Even if it's Mrs. Li or Mrs. Zheng, Lin Zhichao feels that his life is dull. After all, his
Psychology is modern.
"Well, I just changed it this year. There were news reports a few days ago!" Lin Zhichao said with a smile.
This year, the Peak Tram has been replaced with an electric traction gear-driven ‘all-metal carriage’ that can accommodate 62 people. Lin Zhichao also saw it in the newspaper and planned to experience it.
Otherwise, he would drive there directly.
The two of them got on the cable car and were right next to the window, so they could enjoy the scenery outside.
The cable car trip was very fast, it took about 8 to 10 minutes to reach the top station, and the two of them arrived at the observation deck.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the picturesque scenery of Hong Kong comes into view.
Hong Kong’s harbor is clear and waveless;
The mountains of Hong Kong are green and dust-free;
In fact, Hong Kong at this time was actually simple and clear, just green. There were only two truly prosperous roads in Hong Kong - Des Voeux Road and King's Road.
But the senses given to Lin Zhichao are surprisingly good!
Clean, beautiful, lively and energetic.
"Brother Zhichao, I'm starting to like Hong Kong too!" Tang Caiyun confessed immediately when she saw Lin Zhichao falling into a fascination with Hong Kong.
The answer to why she started to like Hong Kong is self-evident.
Lin Zhichao retracted his gaze from afar, looked sideways at Keren beside him, and said, "Thank you, Caiyun!"
Tang Caiyun raised her head slightly and said, "Brother Zhichao, what do you like about Hong Kong?" She asked seriously and curiously.
Compared with Shanghai, Hong Kong is relatively backward in terms of economy, culture and life. The urban construction is far behind Shanghai. My father said that it is not even as good as Hangzhou.
Lin Zhichao blurted out: "I like you. Because you are in Hong Kong."
However, the modern population has become accustomed to playing tricks. Although they have subconsciously restrained themselves, the essence has not changed.
A blush suddenly appeared on Tang Caiyun's face, and then she lowered her head and said, "Why are you trying to steal my words!"
"Haha. Let's go to the mountaintop restaurant to have a meal and drink tea!"
The original site of the Peak Restaurant was originally a place for British engineers to work and rest when the Peak Tram was built in 1888. The site was later handed over to the government, and in 1901 it was demolished and rebuilt into a sedan parking place and a shack for bearers to rest, so that the residents at that time could get from the Peak to the Peak.
The cable car transfers to a sedan to go home. Parked in the building are the public sedans and private sedans of the sedan bearers. With the decline of sedans, starting in 1947, the site was converted into an open-air teahouse and Western restaurant, and was named the Peak Restaurant.
If we say Lin Chi-chao’s favorite places in Hong Kong at present, they are Victoria Peak, Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay. Victoria Peak can offer ‘a panoramic view of all the mountains’, Deep Water Bay can offer ‘deep-rooted feng shui and strong feng shui’, and Repulse Bay can offer ‘beautiful, romantic and poetic scenery’.
Along the way, Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun looked like handsome men and beautiful women, attracting countless attention. It seemed that they were both a rich and noble couple.
Arriving at the Western restaurant of the Peak Restaurant, the two of them sat opposite each other.
"Brother Zhichao, I don't plan to continue studying in college!" Tang Caiyun said suddenly.
Tang Caiyun studied in the Magic City for one year. If Tang Zhongyuan hadn't arranged for an evacuation in a hurry, she would still be studying in the Magic City!
Originally, she was opposed to giving up her studies and taking refuge in Hong Kong, but Tang Zhongyuan lied to her daughter that there is also the University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong. In fact, the admission requirements of the two universities are different, so if Tang Caiyun wanted to continue studying at university, she would have to relearn a lot.
Of course, now that Tang Caiyun told Lin Zhichao, the meaning was different.
Lin Zhichao is not stupid, nor will he pretend to be stupid, so he said: "I will marry you early next year!"
Tang Caiyun immediately showed a hint of joy and blush, and whispered: "Yes."
Immediately, Lin Zhichao said: "Consolidate your career this year, and you will have no worries next year. Moreover, I also want to go to Europe and the United States to buy you a diamond ring as a wedding ring!"
Tang Caiyun nodded happily. This man was both powerful and romantic. He was simply a girl's Prince Charming.
In the evening, Wu Wenying invited Tang Zhongyuan's family to have dinner together.
During the dinner, Tang Zhongyuan took out a piece of textile cloth and handed it to Lin Zhichao.
"What do you think of the fabric we just produced?" After speaking, there was hope on his face.
At this time, Tang Zhongyuan looked less like Lin Zhichao's future father-in-law and more like a textile factory boss who stepped forward to sell. This is a fact. He was very eager to prove himself that he could achieve a career without Tang Bingyuan; at the same time, the family arrived.
In Hong Kong, he also urgently needs to open up the situation and cannot just sit back and settle for nothing.
Lin Zhichao started to feel it, and then observed it carefully, and then said: "I think it should be about the same, but I have to let the people in the factory confirm it. Uncle Tang, don't worry, you have been in the textile industry for so many years, there must be no
questionable."
He kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs. If Tang Zhongyuan's products were not up to standard, he could give him time to make changes, but he could not adopt them.
Tang Zhongyuan nodded and said, "Well, I'll take it for inspection tomorrow. To be honest, although I have managed textile factories for so many years, it was only after I entered your factory that I learned what modern Western management is like, which also helped me a lot.
"
Lin Zhichao invited Tang Zhongyuan to inspect Yangtze River Industries several times, with the purpose of promoting mutual progress.
Of course, Tang Zhongyuan's Tsuen Wan factory has not officially started construction at this time and is expected to open at the end of the month. However, Tang Zhongyuan rented another factory building to temporarily use it as a place to stack machines and train workers.
"Uncle Tang, thank you. We all make progress together. After your textile factory is opened, our factory can give you some orders, and other orders must be exported to Southeast Asia. As for entering Europe and the United States, you have to take your time, don't rush."
"Well, that makes sense!"
Tang Zhongyuan is not considered a rich man in Shanghai, with a net worth of only 500,000 to 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. This time he invested nearly 400,000 Hong Kong dollars in the textile factory.
Of course, Lin Zhichao will definitely support him, after all, he is his father-in-law.
Therefore, Lin Zhichao added: "If Uncle Tang is rich, he can invest in land in Tsuen Wan. Within a year or two, the price will double."
Tang Zhongyuan was overjoyed and said immediately: "I know!"
He only has a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars in hand, but he trusts Lin Zhichao very much, so he plans to buy all the land. What's more, once the factory starts construction, he can make a profit because Cheung Kong Industries can give him nearly half of the orders.
After dinner, Tang Zhongyuan took Song Qiaoling and his two sons, Tang Xianqian and Tang Youqian, downstairs to go home.
As for Tang Caiying, she had already entered the boudoir with Lin Xiner. They were classmates and immediately became relatives, so naturally they had a very good relationship. As for Tang Caiyun, the couple asked her to help her future mother-in-law tidy up before leaving.
In fact, after Tang Zhongyuan and his wife left, Lin Zhichao stopped Tang Caiyun from helping, but said: "Mom, you are busy first. I will talk to Caiyun and hire two servants for you another day."
Wu Wenying said with a smile: "Whatever servant I want, I don't want Caiyun to help me. I can't bear to give up her beautiful hands."
Lin Zhichao had already dragged Tang Caiyun to his bedroom. Wu Wenying wanted to remind him, but he retracted his words before he spoke.
"Forget it, my son is not a reckless person!"
Tang Caiyun was pulled to the bedroom by Lin Zhichao. Her face was anxious and shy, and she whispered: "Brother Zhichao, why do you want me to see people in front of Aunt Ying like this?"
Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "What's the point? We won't close the door! I just invite you to visit my room."
So, a 20cm gap was left in the door.
Tang Caiyun finally calmed down, and since she was really curious about Lin Zhichao's bedroom, she started to visit.
In fact, it is very simple, mainly because there are many books, Lin Zhichao is still very easy to learn. After all, his career needs it, and he does not want to become an 'illiterate businessman'.
Seen from the back, Tang Caiyun's graceful figure is really charming.
After a while, he lost control and hugged Tang Caiyun from behind.
Then, he turned her over again and started to get closer.
Maybe she was frightened by Lin Zhichao, or maybe Tang Caiyun was at a loss. In short, the sweet taste was warm and intoxicating.
Lip parting.
Tang Caiyun was angry and said shyly: "Brother Zhichao, you are too much. This is my first time."
Lin Zhichao immediately vowed: "God is my witness, I promise."
Tang Caiyun sealed Lin Zhichao's mouth with a jade finger and said, "Who wants your guarantee? I believe you!"
While the two were making love to each other, the door to the room was pushed open, and Lin Xiner and Tang Caiying were at the door. The two women were stunned, as if they were young girls who opened their mouths after seeing something inappropriate.
Tang Caiyun immediately pushed Lin Zhichao away and jumped away like a rabbit, her face burning.
"Xin'er, take Sister Caiyun and Sister Caiying home for me." Only Lin Zhichao ordered his sister as if nothing was wrong.
"Oh, okay brother."
Tang Caiying walked at the end and made a face to Lin Zhichao, as if to say, hurry up and please me, or I will tell my parents.
Lin Zhichao suddenly made an even more exaggerated grimace, which frightened Tang Caiying and she immediately ran away.
