0783 [Starting with 13 yuan and achieving a net worth of 10 billion! 】
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
Now that the plan prepared by Shi Zhijian has taken shape, he is waiting to cooperate with the Lin family of Hong Kong to build the Wharf Port, and then throw out the bait to make those who are eager to take the bait.
So Shi Zhijian called Lin Jianming, the eldest son of the Lin family, and told him that he was free tonight and wanted to go to the Lin family to visit Lin Baixin, the elder Lin, to discuss investment and construction of the port.
Lin Jianming was very happy when he received the call. He had no intention of fishing in the company anymore. He checked out the time and left the company. He drove to Mong Kok first and planned to buy a copy of the old man's favorite "fried rice cake" from a familiar restaurant to take away.
go home.
I remember clearly that at that time, the second child Lin Jianyue had not been born yet. The old man felt sorry for him the most. No matter how busy he was at work, he would always take him out to play. Lin Jianming rarely had the same appetite as the old man. He liked spicy food and was very fond of fried rice cakes and the like.
.
At that time, the rice cake shop in Mong Kok was a place the two of them frequented, and they became regular customers as soon as they returned there.
When Lin Jianming came to the rice cake shop, the owner of the rice cake shop was climbing a ladder to take down the shop sign.
Lin Jianming hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "What happened? Why do you want to take off the sign?"
The boss said that the business could no longer continue and was preparing to close down. He also said that fewer and fewer Hong Kong people like spicy food, and the specialty of his shop was fried spicy rice cakes. Instead of paying rent every month and working for the landlord, he might as well
Close the shop and find other ways to make a living.
Seeing this, Lin Jianming didn't know what to say.
The boss then went into the house and took out a package of rice cakes and told him that this was specially prepared for old customers like them. It was also a small token of appreciation before closing, and he asked Lin Jianming to accept it.
Lin Jianming offered money, but the boss didn't want it. He said that since it was his heart, it couldn't be measured by money. He had been making fried rice cakes all his life, and the fact that someone liked his craftsmanship was the greatest recognition of him.
Lin Jianming said nothing more. Before leaving, the boss sighed again: "People's tastes will change! I used to like spicy food, but now I like sweet food! Only by constantly adapting can we survive in this chaotic world.
Live!"
…
Lin Jianming drove home, and for some reason the boss's words always came to mind. People are fickle! You have to learn to adapt!
He shook his head and put these bad emotions behind him, then got out of the car, picked up the packing box and walked towards the door.
At this time, the old housekeeper came forward and told him that his master was not in the house and had invited a theater troupe to listen to the play in the back garden.
So Lin Jianming walked towards the back garden again. As he approached the back garden, he could vaguely hear the troupe's tunes on the stringboard and the libretto of the female actors.
"Young master, are you back? Are you going to the back garden to listen to a play? I'll take you there! Today's performance of "Emperor's Flower" was really good." A maid in the courtyard was leaning against the corner.
Listening to the play, he saw Lin Jianming coming and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
How could Lin Jianming not know what she meant? These maids had served the Lin family for many years and were older than Lin Jianming. They all loved listening to Cantonese opera. Normally, Lin Baixin invited a theater troupe to come over. Every one of them was as if they had been given chicken blood. They wished they could move the benches.
Squeeze to the front and have a good listen. This maid did the same.
Lin Jianming did not reveal the maid's little thoughts, and said with a smile: "I know that my father likes to eat rice cakes, so I bought some for him to try. You go and help prepare some pear water - spicy rice cakes and pear water are a perfect match.
!”
"Okay, I'll go get ready now!" When she heard that there was an opportunity to go over to listen to the show, the maid beamed, she was more happy than anything else.
The maid rushed to the kitchen to prepare some pear water, and also found a small pony, ready to set up camp and listen to the show.
Lin Jianming carried the rice cakes to the garden. Looking around, a relatively simple stage had been temporarily built in the huge garden. On the stage, the famous male and female actors, wearing feather hats, red robes and phoenix crowns, were singing "Emperor's Flower" -
"The sky is full of fallen flowers, blocking out the moonlight. I borrow a cup and put it on the phoenix platform; the emperor's daughter brings tears of flowers and offers incense. She is willing to die in return to thank her parents..."
Under the stage, the old man Lin Baixin and his four wives were sitting in front, watching the play happily.
Lin Baixin was dressed in a casual Tang suit, leaning on a chair and patting her thighs with her hands, looking comfortable.
Lin Jianming hurriedly stepped forward and handed the fried rice cake to his father and said: "Father, this is the rice cake I bought for you from Mong Kok. You can try it!"
Lin Baixin smiled and reached out to take it, and Lin Jianming handed over the prepared chopsticks.
Mother Lin Lai Shi praised her son: "Jian Ming, you are really attentive. You still remember that your father likes to eat rice cakes!"
The second lady curled her lips and said: "Master is getting older. Let him eat less greasy food and drink more of the tonic soup I made! Cordyceps sinensis, ginseng and wolfberry are so nutritious!"
Lin Lai was dissatisfied that the second wife always stole the limelight from her: "I am so old, what else do you want to do? Do you think you can occupy three days a week like before?"
"It's my ability to occupy you for three days! Sister, you are a matchmaker and I am getting married, and so am I! Just like in "The Flower of the Emperor", I also wear a phoenix crown and a harem, blowing the suona to welcome you in!"
Lin Baixin was eating rice cakes. She didn't expect her wife to quarrel with her second wife. She couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Have you finished speaking? I invited you here to listen to the opera, not to sing!"
When Lin Lai and her second wife saw that the master was angry, they immediately shut up and did not dare to say another word.
However, because of talking, Lin Baixin choked on the spicy rice cake and started coughing.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Master, are you okay?"
The wives and concubines came forward one by one and expressed concern.
Lin Jianming also stepped forward, but when he was about to speak, someone beat him to it——
"Father, drink the pear water!" But it was the second young master Lin Jianyue who didn't know when he would come back, and he personally brought the pear water to serve the old man.
Lin Jianming looked back and saw that the maid he had previously ordered to bring the pear water was standing not far away with an innocent look on her face. She shrugged when she saw him.
The maid also knew that the eldest young master and the second young master had been competing for favor, but the eldest young master was always one step late, and this time the second young master took the lead.
Lin Baixin drank Sydney water and her cough immediately stopped.
Lin Jianyue turned around and scolded his eldest brother Lin Jianming: "Brother, I'm not blaming you! My father is in poor health and can't eat spicy food now, but you want to buy such spicy things to please him. What are your intentions?"
Lin Jianming suddenly turned red and was speechless.
To be honest, he really wanted to please the old man, but at this moment, being yelled at by his brother in front of so many people, he was somewhat embarrassed.
"Ahem, second brother, how can you say that? I am doing the same...and the same..."
"What's the same?" Lin Jianyue interrupted his eldest brother, his eyes burning: "Not long ago, my father fainted due to illness, and Dr. Lawrence told us to follow dietary taboos. Have you forgotten all of this?"
"I don't!" Lin Jianming spread his hands and looked innocent, "Don't accuse me wrongly! I bought rice cakes for my father, and I just did it casually, hoping to make him happy!"
"Make him happy? In order to please your father, you ignore his physical condition?"
Lin Jianyue glared at his eldest brother and was about to continue talking when Lin Baixin waved her hand and said, "You two brothers should say less!"
"Master, let's drink tea first!" The second room hurriedly stepped forward to serve Lin Baixin and drink more pear water.
Lin Baixin swallowed the tea in her mouth: "Everyone gathers together to enjoy the opera. We don't want you to sing here! You just sing, and I will appear on the stage!"
After saying this, Lin Baixin glared at the eldest eldest brother, Lin Lai, and the second eldest brother, Lin Wang, "They are all good sons you have raised! They are competitive and show no mercy!" Then she glared at the two sons, "You are dear.
Brothers, do you understand what it means to help each other and to be respectful and humble to each other?"
Everyone at the scene was silent. Only the Hua Dan who sang "Emperor's Flower" on the stage was still babbling and singing: "Toast a toast with you and drink freely, with red candles and tears but hold back the tears; embrace each other for life, and be together for good fortune."
It doesn’t matter if it’s reborn!”
Lin Baixin gently poked the box of fried rice cakes with the tip of her index finger, "It's just a box of rice cakes, and it makes you look so ugly, so shameful!"
No one dared to say anything, and even the servants did not dare to breathe.
At this moment, the old housekeeper ran over in small steps, bowed to Lin Baixin and reported: "Master, there is a man named Shi Zhijian coming to visit you outside!"
"Uh, Shi Zhijian?"
Lin Jianming hurriedly said: "That's the friend I mentioned to you last time! He wants to cooperate with our Lin family and build a Wharf together!"
Lin Laishi also hurriedly helped her son: "Yes, yes! I also remember, sir, you said that Wharf invested 300 million and could earn more than 1 billion by then! You also praised our family Jianming for his ability!"
Lin Baixin remembered that Lin Jianming did mention this matter to him last time, but everyone thought he was lying and asked him to invite Shi Zhijian over, saying that Shi Zhijian had to meet the Hong Kong Governor and was not available for the appointment.
At that time, Lin Baixin suspected that her eldest son was talking nonsense, but she didn't expect that now he is here!
Lin Jianyue, the second young master of the Lin family, was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't believe that a good brother like himself would cooperate with Shi Zhijian.
But now the facts are before our eyes, they are here!
"Please come in quickly! No, it's too noisy here. Let's invite him to the living room for an interview!" Lin Baixin ordered. He still valued this rising comet in Hong Kong!
…
"Ajian, come here quickly! My father is waiting for you in the hall!" Lin Jianming happily led Shi Zhijian towards the living room. Seeing how happy he was, he wanted to reach out and pull Shi Zhijian and put him in front of his father Lin Baixin, and then told everyone,
Don’t you think I’m incompetent? Now that I’ve made such sharp friends, why don’t I scare you to death?!
Shi Zhijian walked into the living room. At this time, an old man in his sixties was sitting on the sofa in front of the coffee table in the living room.
Next to the old man sat a man in a suit and leather jacket with an arrogant face. He looked similar to Lin Baixin. He was Lin Jianyue, the second young master of the Lin family, and the future leading entertainment tycoon in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Lin, Second Young Master Lin, good evening!" Shi Zhijian stepped forward and said to the two of them with a decent smile.
Lin Baixin stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, are you? You are indeed a talented person! Please sit down first!" She pointed to the empty seat on the sofa next to her and said, "Jianming, sit down too!"
Lin Jianming and Shi Zhijian sat down on the sofa, face to face with his father Lin Baixin and his second brother Lin Jianyue.
Lin Baixin asked the servant to serve tea quickly. While the tea was being served, Lin Baixin looked at Shi Zhijian carefully. Her first impression was that he was young! He was too young!
It was really hard for Lin Baixin to imagine that the handsome boy in front of her, who could definitely go to Shaw Brothers to work as a male star and male model, was actually the young tycoon who had become all-powerful recently!
Lin Jianyue, the second young master of the Lin family, also looked at Shi Zhijian in front of him in surprise. There are many legends about Shi Zhijian in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, he and Shi Zhijian have never met. I didn't expect that I would be so young and handsome when I see him today!
Is it this young man who defeated the arrogant Dai Fengnian and Li Zhaotian who could cover the sky with one hand?
This made Lin Jianyue somewhat unimaginable.
When the Lin family father and son were sizing up Shi Zhijian, Shi Zhijian was also sizing up each other.
Shi Zhijian has long been admired by Lin Baixin, the legendary "Garment King", also known as the "African King". Especially in the previous life, Lin Baixin was like Nurhachi, the founder of the Qing Dynasty. He started with thirteen yuan and eventually achieved a net worth of tens of billions. His legendary
Unmatched by ordinary people!
During this period, Lin Baixin even acquired the clothing brand "Crocodile", thereby entering the mainland and sweeping the clothing market at that time, making crocodile belts, crocodile wallets, crocodile ties, crocodile suits, etc. standard equipment for "successful men".
In addition, Lin Baixin was the largest shareholder of ATV in her previous life. Under the leadership of Lin Baixin and her son Lin Jianyue, ATV's performance improved day by day. In 1996, ATV finally turned a loss into a profit, with a net profit of 12 million yuan, and created "Silver Fox", "Drama"
"The King of Kings", "The King of Nine" and other classic films, and that was also the last glory of ATV.
At this time, the servant brought tea, and Lin Baixin made an invitation to drink tea.
Shi Zhijian smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
Lin Baixin smiled and asked: "I heard that Mr. Shi is from Chaozhou?"
Shi Zhijian almost choked to death at these words!
To be honest, even he himself can’t tell what his ancestral home is now! To be precise, his ancestral home is ever-changing and he can move wherever he needs to!
"Yes!" Shi Zhijian wiped the corners of his mouth, put down the tea cup, and raised his face with a bright smile.
"No wonder, our Chaozhou has always been rich in handsome boys!" Lin Baixin couldn't help but praise Shi Zhijian as she looked at his appearance and demeanor.
"I heard Jianming said that you met him at the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, it's been almost two or three years! It's the first time I've come to visit in such a long time. I'm really ashamed!" Shi Zhijian lowered his head slightly, looking embarrassed.
Lin Baixin nodded. She was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and yet so humble and polite. This young man is really rare.
It has to be said that Shi Zhijian is top-notch both in appearance and acting skills, so that no matter which senior boss sees him, they can't help but praise him. Boss Huo is like this, charter king is like this, and now Lin Baixin is also like this!
In Shi Zhijian's own words, he calls it "beautiful and delicious"!
"I heard Jian Ming say a few days ago that you want to do business with him?" Lin Baixin asked without beating around the bush.
"Yes! Whether you believe it or not, Mr. Lin, my Wharf is now under construction. Looking at Hong Kong, we can work hand in hand with me to create a future. Brother Jianming is the only one who can build the Kowloon Port!"
Shi Zhijian's words were so powerful that Lin Jianming, who was sitting next to him, was excited!
He never thought that he would be so important in Shi Zhijian's mind! There are so many young talents in Hong Kong, but he only chose himself?! A scholar will die for his confidant! If Shi Zhijian is in need, he is willing to go through fire and water for him without hesitation!
Lin Jianyue saw Shi Zhijian speaking impassionedly and his elder brother beside him was so excited that he wanted to jump up. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said to himself: "Anyone can say this kind of obedient thing, only a fool will believe it!"
"I believe it!" Father Lin Baixin nodded slightly.
"Poof!" Lin Jianyue almost spit out the old tea!
"I don't have much ability, but I'm the best at making friends! I'm especially good at talking to people!" Lin Baixin said meaningfully, "Mr. Shi is a rare talent, a proud man of heaven. No matter what he does, he will never lie to my eldest son! Because he
I believe you, and I believe you too!”
When Shi Zhijian heard this, he couldn't help stroking his hands secretly. He was sharp! He was worthy of being a tycoon of the generation who "started with only thirteen yuan and achieved a net worth of tens of billions". He captured Shi Zhijian in just one sentence!
