Lin Sanqi quickly reminded:
"Dad, someone promised me that as long as it is beneficial to the country, no one will liquidate me. If I don't talk about it in the future, I think it should be safe now."
Lin Sophora flavescens smiled bitterly:
"Yes, maybe you will say that someone has promised you that there will be no investigation, no investigation, and no liquidation. But the person who told you these three guarantees has an unknown future. Sometimes you can only listen to what the leader says. , can’t believe it all.
In the same way, if you cooperate with the country and help the country, maybe those people will be grateful to you and follow you in extraordinary times. But if something happens one day, believe it or not, you will be the first to be beheaded and sacrificed to the flag, because you are the one who dances the most happily. ”
Lin Sanqi put down the book, knowing the seriousness of this matter.
"Dad, I have thought about it, but now I need to complete the accumulation of original capital. Everything I do is to make money, make big money, and then make myself stronger. So now, I have to cooperate with them.
< br>
When one day I have enough money, I will find another way to cooperate with them to avoid becoming a pawn in the struggle or a victim on the guillotine. When I have the strength and ability to protect myself, I can better help the country.
For example, I have a batch of medicines on hand. When I get rich, I can open a pharmaceutical factory and sell the world's most advanced Western medicines across the country to benefit the people across the country. I can even sell them abroad to create foreign exchange for the country.
Dad, I am not a bad person. I also love this country and have never thought of harming the country, so Dad, you believe me. ”
Lin Sophora flavescens breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this:
"It seems that you know what's going on. I'm very happy. What I'm most afraid of is that you will drift away. When you wake up one day, you will already be standing on the edge of the cliff. If someone pushes you gently, you will be doomed."
Lin Sanqi thought to herself that he had a golden finger, but in fact he wanted to run away. People in this era really couldn't keep him.
Because as long as there is a door, he can disappear without a trace.
But again, it’s easy for him to leave, but those who stay in this era will be doomed.
It doesn't matter if the second brother and sister-in-law sacrifice the flag, but what about the parents, the eldest brother's family, and Pan Ye? Send them all to Jiabiangou?
Taoism emphasizes karma and retribution.
When Lin Sanqi traveled through time and recognized the Lin family, she wanted to seduce the little girl and got such a girlfriend because she was greedy for her body. This was the "cause".
If there is a cause, there must be an effect. Now these family members and lovers have become his "effect", making it impossible for him to just pat his ass and leave.
Otherwise, in 2023, the company will have 1 billion in cash on its books and billions of medicinal materials in its warehouse. Wouldn't that be enough to make him sleep peacefully?
"Dad, don't worry, I know what I want, I know what I do, and I know the future trend of our country, so I won't easily step into the mine array and be blown to pieces.
< br>
Now that the country is in difficulty and lacks food, I have transferred a large amount of food from abroad. I even obtained a very precious hybrid technology that can multiply food production several times. Firstly, I am contributing to the country, and secondly, I am telling them that I am a valuable person.
Of course they are using me, and I am also using them. I need domestic medicinal materials, from precious ginseng, musk, and bezoar to the most common medicinal materials. I want them all. I want as much as I can. If I can't do it with my own strength, I have to use the collective strength.
So now I only have initial contact with them, and the honeymoon period will last for a while in the future. This period of time is enough for me to obtain a large amount of medicinal materials to complete the accumulation of initial capital. I will not be afraid of any troubles. ”
Lin Sophora flavescens shook her head in disapproval:
"No, in our country, the status of businessmen has been the lowest for thousands of years. Being rich is not necessarily a good thing. In many cases, being rich is actually a bad thing.
When you complete the accumulation of original capital, and someone else gains illegal income, your accumulation may be in vain.
If you don’t believe me, just read history. From Lu Buwei of the Qin State, to Shi Chongdou Fu of the Western Jin Dynasty, to Shen Wansan of the Ming Dynasty, these big businessmen were so rich that they could rival the country, but which one of these people had a good end? In the end, the family was destroyed.
Let’s not talk about the distant ones, but let’s talk about the closer ones. Hu Xueyan, a veteran in our pharmaceutical industry, had more than 20 million taels of silver at his peak, which was equivalent to two-thirds of the Qing government’s annual tax revenue. He was as rich as the country. Isn’t that an exaggeration? .
Not only was he rich, he was also very patriotic. Without his full support, how could Zuo Zongtang have the money to regain Xinjiang? Hu Xueyan’s contribution is not small, right? No national hero can be overstated.
But what happened in the end? His backer Zuo Zongtang was unable to compete with Li Hongzhang and fell. Hu Xueyan has money and merit, but what’s the use? In the end, he was tortured to death by Li Hongzhang and Sheng Xuanhuai, and he ended up separated from his wife and children.
So money is not the most important thing in any era, the most important thing is power.
But how can money and power be easily obtained? If you want to climb up, you have to harm others, and you have to guard against being harmed by others. Our Lin family is helpless in Sijiu City. You can't climb up without a helping hand. ”
Lin Kushen thought that her son wanted to be a red-top businessman, making money while doing business and serving as an official.
From his recent position as the head of the purchasing department of the Changping Branch of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to the second lieutenant of the Digital Hospital, his official career seems to be going smoothly, but in the eyes of Dr. Lin, this is clearly walking a tightrope.
Lin Sanqi was a little strange. She thought that her old father usually hated meddling in other people's business and always wanted to let nature take its course. Why did he suddenly start preaching today? It's rare to say so much in one breath. "Dad, have you heard anything?"
Lin Sophora flavescens put down the bowl and chopsticks, and suddenly said something out of nowhere:
"I received the letter. Your fifth uncle and sixth uncle went to Xiangjiang."
"Huh?"
Lin Sanqi was a little confused: "My fifth and sixth uncles went to Xiangjiang? How did you get there? Do you have a Hong Kong and Macau pass now?"
Lin Kushen smiled and said: "How to get there? Of course they swam there. I asked them to go."
There are too many uncles in the Lin family, including the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth uncles. He can't figure out who is following whom. He really wants to sing: I have countless uncles in my family. They don't come to visit if there is no big deal.
"Dad, what happened to the fifth and sixth uncles? And why did you let them swim to the Xiangjiang River? How dangerous it is. I heard that there are soldiers guarding the beach. If they are caught, it will be sudden. Besides, Now, the fifth and sixth uncles are helpless in Xiangjiang, what can they do in the past?”
Lin Sanqi is also someone who has read online novels. In 1960, Hong Kong was not as good as imagined. It was a world dominated by criminal policemen and societies.
Mainlanders fled Hong Kong and went to Hong Kong. Even if they could find a job, they were working at the lowest level, and there were even countless beggars.
Not everyone is as lucky as a wicked guy like Li Jiacheng. He happened to have an uncle in Xiangjiang, and he married his cousin to help him develop his career. In the end, what he gave back to his little cousin was a coffin building...
Lin Sophora flavescens had a little pride on her face, and then she continued to say softly:
"I have several properties in Xiangjiang. I bought them in 1948. I have always asked my friends in Xiangjiang to help me manage them. This time I asked your fifth and sixth uncles to come over. On the one hand, they help manage the properties, and on the other hand, they let them manage the properties in Xiangjiang. Show off my time-honored brand and open Lingnan Tang Medical Clinic.”
Lin Sanqi's eyes widened when she heard this. She didn't expect that the old man actually had a hand?
"Dad, isn't it? Our family has a house in Xiangjiang? How did you do it? Isn't this amazing?"
"Haha, isn't it amazing? When the Kuomintang and the Communists were fighting for life, my father left a way out for our family and bought three small buildings in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong in advance, each with 8 floors. We originally planned to open up the ground floor. For opening a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.”
"Wow~~~"
Lin Sanqi was shocked again, Yau Ma Tei.
Although Lam Sanqi has never been to Hong Kong in both eras, anyone who has watched Hong Kong movies knows that Yau Ma Tei, Yau Tsim Mong, Portland Street, Tsim Sha Tsui and other places are the most prosperous areas in Kowloon, and they are also battlegrounds for various societies. .
With three properties in such a prosperous neighborhood, the Lin family can rest easy.
So the question is, why did Comrade Lao Lin not take his family to the south in 1949, but came to the north instead?
When Lin Sanqi asked her doubts, Lin Sophora flavescens only smiled bitterly:
"We, a family of five, left as soon as we left. But our Lin family is a large family of several hundred people. What will they do if we leave? Moreover, the propaganda at that time was to let bygones be bygones and build a new China. As soon as I hesitated, I stayed.
There was still a chance to leave at that time, and everyone was already at the train station, but at that time I was too famous, and the country was in urgent need of medical talents, so ahem, I couldn't leave. Since we can't leave, it's better to take the initiative and donate our family property to bring you to the north. ”
Lin Sanqi understood. No wonder Comrade Lao Lin became the first batch of famous Chinese medicine doctors in the country to come to Beijing.
It's a good thing that the old man recognizes faces. Otherwise, look at the 12 old national treasures who don't know faces. If they hadn't met Lin Sanqi, a kind man like him, they would definitely be doing farm work in the fields now.
"Dad, is there a reason why you suddenly told me about Xiangjiang?"
Lin Sophora flavescens took a deep breath:
"I want to tell you that if you are unhappy in China, you can consider going to Xiangjiang. According to tradition, I gave the ancestral home in Huadu to your eldest brother, but I can share the three properties in Xiangjiang equally among you three brothers. There will be no favoritism. .
In 1948, except for the small mansion, I sold all my investments in Huadu. Including all my family's savings, a total of US$200,000 was deposited in HSBC. In addition, Xiangjiang Property also has a lot of money from rent collection over the years.
The money and the house combined are enough for the three of you brothers to have enough food and clothing. Xiao Qi, your grandma and I are both old. What we want is for our descendants to be safe and to continue the legacy of our Lin family without losing its roots.
Your eldest brother is too honest. If he goes to Xiangjiang, he will be eaten to pieces. Your second brother is too smart. Once the money and house are in his hands, I'm afraid there won't be anything to do with the other brothers. He's not a good choice.
So what I mean is that I want you to go to Xiangjiang. If you are so naughty, there must be a way to get there. Your fifth uncle and sixth uncle used to be the front-line standers. Don’t worry, I’ve been with them since I was a kid and you can trust them. ”
Can Lin Sanqi leave? Can I leave the country? (End of chapter)
