Coming out of the Yuen Long Industrial Estate Management Committee, Yin Lianyi was a little angry:
"We are here to invest and set up factories, to create jobs and tax revenue for them. What is their attitude? It's okay if they don't welcome us. They are talking in a weird way. It's already 2023, and the sense of superiority is still so strong?"
The Lingnan Hall group did not receive a warm welcome from the management committee. Even when Lin Tianhua proposed investing in setting up a factory, several staff members looked at the mainlanders across from them as if they were fools.
In the end, it was natural that the settlement of the factory was not negotiated, which made Yin Lianyi angry.
From a young girl's world view, I come to run a factory because I think highly of you. If you don't treat me like a distinguished guest and lay out a red carpet, you must show respect, right?
Lin Tianhua was not surprised and comforted:
"Xiao Yin, there is no need for you to be angry. In fact, there should be a reason why they don't welcome industrial investment."
At this time, Lin Sanqi was standing on the east side of Yuen Long Village, looking at the large ponds on the seaside with some confusion:
"Uncle Ten, people from the management committee just said that there are no industrial land quotas anymore, but look at the endless pond here, which is at least several thousand acres. How can there be no land?"
Lin Sanqi was also confused, because in his world view, as long as someone comes to invest in setting up a factory, let alone filling up the village pond, what if the entire village is demolished?
Meng Peng, who had already visited the previous station, answered Lin Sanqi’s doubts:
"Mr. Lin, the ponds you see are actually fish ponds. Maybe you will say that building a factory to collect rent is definitely more profitable than raising fish. In fact, they occupy this land and do not expect to make money from raising fish at all."< br>
"Oh~~~"
Yin Lianyi sounded like she was suddenly enlightened. It was obvious that she, a finance major, understood it instantly.
But Lin Sanqi, who majored in medicine, was still confused: "I don't raise fish to make money, and I don't want to build a factory. Why?"
"Mr. Lin, this is actually easy to understand. Just like those so-called high-tech companies, why do they keep burning money and losing money, but the boss can finally earn billions and tens of billions of net worth? The reason is the same .
What high-tech companies make is not the money from the business itself, but the money from shareholders after listing. People in the world call it cutting leeks. The idea of Yuen Long Village is actually a kind of capital speculation, that is, it wants to build real estate. ”
When Meng Peng said this, Lin Sanqi already understood, but he didn't respond and continued to listen to the sales director's analysis.
"The most profitable thing in Xiangjiang is definitely real estate, but there is too little land in Xiangjiang, so many people are aiming at industrial land. This operation is very simple, that is, first buy it in the name of industrial land, and then use the relationship to change the nature of the land. Convert industry to commercial or residential.”
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, this operation doesn't seem to be a Xiangjiang specialty, right? A lot of people in the country do this.
Meng Peng is still taking care of himself, the boss explained:
"Although there is a supplementary fee for converting industry to commercial, generally real estate developers who dare to do this don't care about this small amount of money. What they want is to ensure that the land falls into their hands, and then they can sell it for a few years and make a lot of money. One stroke.
There was an industrial land parcel in West Kowloon a few days ago, which was bought by a certain boss for RMB 4 billion. He then held the land for several years and finally sold it for more than RMB 20 billion. Mr. Lin, think about it, we have been working hard for a year and no one has made any profit from speculating on land, so who is willing to do business with peace of mind?
The plan for Yuen Long Village is the same. Now the land resources in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are gone, but there is land in the New Territories. In addition, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have begun to cooperate in development, so the New Territories will definitely be the main battlefield for real estate in the future.
People in Yuen Long do not welcome everyone to invest and set up factories now, but when commercial development begins in the future, these factories will be easy to attract, but difficult to give away. Similarly, the fish pond in front of us will be a ready-made commercial land resource in the future. ”
Lin Sanqi was not surprised when he heard this. If capital is used well, it can make the entire national economy develop rapidly.
But if capital gets out of hand, repeated economic crises can cause great damage to the country and people.
Whether it is an economic crisis or economic prosperity, capital is a man-eating tiger. Everyone wants to be capital, but in fact everyone should be wary of capital.
It is said that power without supervision is terrible, but everyone has forgotten that capital without supervision is even more terrible.
"Actually, the large-scale development of the New Territories is quite good. How big is the entire New Territories? 1,000 square kilometers, right? I remember that there is the largest community in the country, "Tiantongyuan" in Peiping, which covers an area of only 8 square kilometers and has a population of 600,000.
The entire population of Hong Kong is 7.5 million. Building ten or eight Tin Tung Yuen in the New Territories is more than enough. By then, will the housing problems that have troubled Hong Kong people for so many years be solved? No more coffin rooms. ”
After hearing this, Yin Lianyi and Meng Peng thought to themselves that the boss was really naive. He still wanted everyone to have a house?
Lin Tianhua is an elder, so he can naturally make a few remarks:
"Things are not that simple. Capital in Xiangjiang has been sucking blood from the millions of citizens in Xiangjiang for so many years. Suddenly millions of housing units are built, so that people in Xiangjiang can own their own houses. How can the capitalists suck the blood?"
Lin Sanqi let out a long sigh:
"Young people have no housing, no good jobs, their income is getting lower and lower, they see less and less hope, and they have to be sucked by capitalists all day long. Of course they are dissatisfied with society. The country should take action and cannot let the capital in Xiangjiang continue to be lawless. How could young people’s dislike of capital not be a disappointment to the country?”
Lin Tianhua thought to himself that a young man like you really dares to speak out and is not afraid that this novel will be criticized, so he quickly changed the subject:
"We have to believe that the country is playing a big game of chess. Sometimes it's not that we don't take action, it's just that the time has not come yet. Forget it, let's not mention this. Where should we go next?"
Lin Sanqi didn't want to say more. Anyway, he was not from Xiangjiang, and the life and death of Xiangjiang people had nothing to do with him.
When Xiangjiang was prosperous, the Lin family did not get the slightest bit of glory;
Xiangjiang is bankrupt, and they don't care about their Lin family's half-cent relationship.
Yin Lianyi, the quasi-proprietress, discovered a problem at this time and quickly raised it:
"Uncle Ten, Manager Meng, that's not right. Didn't Mr. Mao from Huadu No. 1 Hospital say that Tongrentang, Guangyuyuan, Darentang, Hu Qingyutang and other leading traditional Chinese medicine companies in China are setting up factories in Xiangjiang and circumventing domestic laws? Risk, where are these pharmaceutical factories located? ”
Lin Sanqi thought this question was a good one. If it is so difficult to set up a factory in Xiangjiang and land cannot be obtained, then what about Tongrentang, Guangyuyuan, Darentang, Hu Qingyutang, etc. The Xiangjiang factories of these pharmaceutical companies are in where?
Meng Peng has already played in the front station, so he naturally understands the situation clearly:
"Boss, it's actually quite funny to talk about this. Let's take a rest today and tomorrow I will take you to see the pharmaceutical factories of various pharmaceutical companies."
Although Lin Sanqi was full of questions, she saw that it was already getting late and thought it would be her first time in Xiangjiang to have some fun.
For example, Portland Street...Shanghai Street...Newly reclaimed land...
"Okay, let's go shopping in Mong Kok and Yau Tsim Mong that night. It's my first time to come to Xiangjiang, and I can feel the enthusiasm of the people in Xiangjiang, haha."
Lin Tianhua and Meng Peng, both men, smiled knowingly, but glanced at Yin Lianyi involuntarily, thinking that the future boss's wife was still there.
Yin Lianyi was smiling but not smiling:
"Thirteen o'clock, you don't think I haven't seen a Hong Kong movie, do you? You don't know where Portland Street in Mong Kok is? Humph."
When Lin Sanqi heard this, she thought that women are too smart, and they don't have the wisdom and generosity of ancient women. It's better for Xiao Yezi in this regard. If Xiao Yezi is more obedient, he won't have any objections even if he marries several concubines.
The characteristic of a man is that he will not admit it even if he is beaten to death. Instead, the more guilty he is, the louder his throat becomes:
"Yin Ba Po, you have impure thoughts. What are you thinking about? I went to Mong Kok because my family has relatives who own property in Yau Ma Tei. I want to see what the situation is like there. Maybe one day I will also immigrate to Hong Kong. ”
Lin Tianhua stared at the sky, thinking in his heart that the Lin family did have relatives in Xiangjiang, but he had never heard of any relatives living in Yau Ma Tei.
Of course, he sees through things without telling them, and is still a good relative.
Yin Lianyi blinked her big Kazilan eyes suspiciously, and then waved her fist: "Humph, man, it's best not to lie."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that he was really not lying, but that was in 1960. The Lin family had three small buildings in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong, and there was a high probability that he would live here in the future.
So even though it was a parallel world now, he wanted to go shopping in advance. This sense of separation in time and space made him feel very novel.
The territory in Xiangjiang is not large. An hour later, Alfa drove to Mong Kok in the city.
As the most prosperous commercial area in Xiangjiang, the streets are full of billboards. Although the roads are narrow, they appear to be very popular.
Lin Sanqi held Yin Lianyi's hand, while her eyes kept turning around, admiring the bustling night view of Xiangjiang. Of course, it was pure appreciation, without the confusion and envy that the previous generation had when they saw the night view of Xiangjiang.
Yin Lianyi felt a little strange when she saw Lin Sanqi constantly looking left and right:
"Hey, you really came to see your relatives."
Lin Sanqi chuckled: "Of course, otherwise what do you think I'm here for? With you, little Liu Yifei, by my side, all other women are just vulgar and vulgar, so how can I take notice of her?"< br>
Women all like to hear good things, and Yin Lianyi is no exception. She is secretly proud of herself:
"Where do your relatives live? Should we bring some gifts when we visit?"
"My relatives, well, let's find the Tin Hau Temple in Yau Ma Tei first. My father said that there is a north-south Mu Street to the north of the Tin Hau Temple. If there are three 8-story buildings with the same appearance, they are my relatives' homes."
"Oh, what is the relationship between your relatives and your family? What are their names? Are they close?"
Southerners tend to be one big family, but there are also different branches within a big family. Generally speaking, the closer the blood relationship is to the branches, the better the relationship.
"My relative, the owner's name is Lin Sophora, he has three sons, the eldest is Lin Licorice, the second is Lin Duzhong, and the third, haha, has the same name as me, Lin Sanqi..."
< br>
Yin Lianyi also laughed and said: "It seems that we are distant relatives. Close relatives don't have exactly the same name."
Yau Tsim Mong, the intersection of Wing Sing Lane and Temple Street.
Yin Lianyi pointed to a few dilapidated small buildings in the northeast corner and asked: "Hey, do you think this is here? Three 8-story small buildings in a row."
Lin Sanqi looked in the direction of her finger and counted the floors. Sure enough, the three buildings all had 8 floors, but the appearance was a little different. They were not exactly the same as Dr. Lin Sophora had said.
After taking a closer look, I found that the construction style is actually the same. It may have been renovated several times over the decades, and the appearance has changed.
This area is full of old houses, with storefronts on the first floor, and they are just like the storefronts in urban villages. They are shabby and shabby. They are obviously places where local neighbors spend their money.
Temple Street is not too long. Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi have walked back and forth twice, and they are basically sure they are here.
"Hey, Lin Sanqi, do your relatives live here? Why don't you ask your family?"
"No need to ask, it should be here." Although there are some differences between the two eras, the details are still exactly the same. The three small buildings in 1960 and the three small buildings in 2023 are the same. The main difference is the owner no the same.
Just like in 1960, Shilou Village still existed, but the surname Lin became Li and the people changed.
Otherwise, Lin Sanqi can now go back to 1960, get the house deed and land deed from his father, and then travel back in time. Can he get the ownership of the house?
Then the world would be in chaos.
At the same time, Lin Sanqi let out a long sigh, thinking that her 60-year-old father was really very discerning. After practicing medicine for so many years, he only bought a small western-style building in Huadu and invested all the remaining money in Xiangjiang.
With three 8-story buildings, not to mention that the whole family could work as a tenant in the 1950s and 1960s, even decades later, the children and grandchildren can still have food and clothing. How far-sighted this is.
Lin Sanqi sometimes really suspected that Dr. Lin Sophora Lin might also be a time traveler and knew that this disaster would happen in 49 years.
"Let's go, we found a place, let's go back."
Yin Lianyi asked with a strange expression:
"Thirteen o'clock, this isn't your old lover's home, is it? You just take a look downstairs and leave? Why don't you go up and say hello?"
Lin Sanqi was completely speechless: "Yin Baba, can you read less romance novels? Besides, my old lover is a girl from Shanxi, huh?"
"Hey, yo, Shanxi girl? Let me think about it, did the one who dumped you after graduation? Damn it, you missed a good opportunity to become a billionaire."
"Then your old lover, has now entered the palace and become a eunuch? Yin Baba, you are so cruel~~~"
"You! At thirteen o'clock, I will make you a eunuch now. Stop~~~"
That night, at the door of the hotel room, Lin Sanqi originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and take down Yin Lianyi completely.
As a result, Yin Lianyi immediately shook her face: "Go find your Shanxi girl, bye!"
She locked the door tightly without mercy. No matter how hard Lin Sanqi knocked, it was useless. Lin Sanqi was so angry that she really wanted to go to Portland Street or Lan Kwai Fong...
The next day, Lin Musen also came from Huadu, and the business inspection continued.
Chatham Road South, which already belongs to the boundary of Tsim Sha Tsui, is where the "Miao Chun Tang" of Heung Kong Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic is located.
Miaochundang owner Qiu Minli and others were already waiting at the door. When they saw the commercial vehicle approaching, they took the initiative to lead it up:
"Welcome the three Mr. Lin to Miaochun Hall, haha."
Lin Musen also smiled and said hello: "Dr. Qiu personally greeted me, I'm very flattered."
"No, no, we are good partners and good friends. Mr. Lin is just saying that."
Miao Chun Tang is now the largest customer of Ling Nan Tang. The first transaction amount between the two parties was as high as 600 million Hong Kong dollars. He is definitely Lin Sanqi's God of Wealth.
Although Lingnan Hall made a lot of money, Miaochun Hall also gained fame and fortune.
After all, authentic, rare, and purely natural medicinal materials like Lingnan Tang are so rare. After this batch of Chinese medicinal materials was delivered to Xiangjiang, it quickly caused a sensation among Hong Kong's wealthy circles.
Those wild ginsengs were packaged and bought as if they were free, making Miaochundang make a lot of money.
Making money is one thing, but what Chairman Qiu Minli values most is "fame."
Miao Chun Tang has good medicines. Once its reputation spreads, it will leave a good impression on local wealthy people in Xiangjiang. Qiu Minli feels that it has great hope of surpassing Rui Jun Tang, which is the number one in Xiangjiang.
It is precisely because Lingnan Hall can bring benefits to Miaochun Hall that Qiu Minli personally brought people to greet Lin Musen and his party. To put it bluntly, this world is an era where interests are paramount.
Lin Musen came to visit the decoration and operation of Miaochun Hall.
Lin Sanqi is more concerned about the situation of Miaochuntang's self-made medicine.
All major Chinese medicine clinics in Hong Kong have their own medicines. These Chinese medicine pills or prescriptions have approval numbers from the SAR government and can be put on the market normally.
Of course, Xiangjiang has inherited the British system, and public hospitals only develop "Western medicine". Practicing doctors refer to Western medicine, not traditional Chinese medicine.
"TCM clinics" are all private and are responsible for their own profits and losses. The government only plays a supervisory role, neither encouraging nor restricting them. Traditional Chinese medicine is basically regarded as a product of the same nature as "herbal tea".
Because they don’t take it seriously, there are few restrictions on traditional Chinese medicine, and the mainland’s wildlife protection laws cannot restrict them.
Lin Musen took a box from Yin Lianyi, opened it, and took out a sealed bottle:
"Chairman Qiu, these are one or two wild musk deer. I came here to visit you in a hurry and caused trouble for you."
Qiu Minli was shocked when he heard this: "Wild musk? Wow, this is a treasure. I haven't seen it for many years. The strength of Lingnan Hall is really extraordinary."
Although there is no natural musk in Xiangjiang, due to the sharp decrease in the number of wild forest musk at home and abroad, wild musk has become very rare, and the price has even reached 50,000 to 100,000 yuan per gram.
Qiu Minli rubbed this precious wild musk and said with emotion:
"Making good medicines also requires good medicinal materials. Because we can't get good medicinal materials, we at Miaochundang can't prepare many prescriptions, so we can't produce them. This is the biggest worry that currently plagues us. Fortunately, we cooperate with your Lingnan Tang , otherwise just worry
You don’t know that the local wealthy people in Xiangjiang have very strict requirements. Several top wealthy families have imperial Chinese medicine practitioners. If the Chinese medicine prescriptions we sell do not meet their requirements, not only will we not receive the money, but we will also be let go. The reputation of our traditional Chinese medicine clinic is ruined among the rich.
Therefore, we would rather not produce prescriptions, and we must not fool patients, especially the top wealthy people. For us Chinese medicine practitioners, credibility is the first priority. Without credibility and patients not trusting our medicinal materials, our traditional Chinese medicine clinic will not be able to open. ”
Lin Musen nodded and sighed:
"Well, you guys in Xiangjiang are doing a good job. Our Chinese medicine industry in the mainland is in a mess right now. I'm really afraid of being laughed at by my colleagues when I say it. At the same time, more and more young people no longer trust Chinese medicine. I have to say it's a big tragedy. .”
Qiu Minli can speak and quickly said: "Isn't there still the mainstay of Lingnan Hall? The Chinese medicine circle in the mainland cannot be ruined."
Hehehe~~~
There was a lot of laughter at the scene. Old people always like to talk about business.
Lin Sanqi couldn't help it anymore and was going to ask Qiu Minli, a big shot in the traditional Chinese medicine circle in Xiangjiang, for advice.
"Dr. Qiu, I would like to ask a question. You also know that the mainland does not allow the use of natural medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine. For example, this wild musk is not available. If you do, you will be reported and you will go to jail if you break the law.
< br>
Now we at Lingnan Hall have encountered this problem. We have natural medicinal materials and ancestral prescriptions, but it is impossible to set up a pharmaceutical factory in the mainland because the law cannot pass it.
So our idea is to open a Chinese medicine factory in Xiangjiang, specializing in producing various Chinese patent medicines. Do you think our method is feasible? Or is it feasible? ”
Qiu Minli listened carefully, and then nodded firmly:
"Opening a traditional Chinese medicine factory in Xiangjiang is probably the best way at present. I think it is feasible. After all, the use of natural medicinal materials is not prohibited in Xiangjiang. Of course, there are still restrictions on wild animals, but there is no problem with farmed ones."
Lin Sanqi continued to ask:
"Then here's the question. We went to Yuen Long and Tai Po for on-site inspection yesterday and found that the land to set up a factory in Xiangjiang is very expensive. The land cost can easily reach hundreds of millions or billions, which is staggering.
Even if it’s expensive, these industrial villages don’t seem to welcome us to settle in. They are more willing to make money by speculating on land. So now we are faced with the dilemma of having no place to set up a factory. Mr. Qiu, how do you think this problem can be solved? ”
When Qiu Minli heard Lin Sanqi's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter:
"Mr. Xiaolin, you have a misunderstanding in your thinking. Why does it have to go to an industrial zone to build a pharmaceutical factory?"
"Huh?"
Lin Sanqi and others were a little stunned, including business veterans such as Lin Tianhua and Meng Peng.
“If you don’t go to an industrial zone to set up a pharmaceutical factory, where else can you go?”
Qiu Minli already knew what the problem was, so he said with a smile: "Come on, follow me upstairs and you will know the answer."
Miaochuntang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic is located in a high-rise building. The first and second floors are where the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic is located. What is upstairs, Lin Sanqi always thought it was a residential area or an office building.
As a result, when the elevator opened, his eyes were opened.
The first floor in front of you is about 500 square meters, but inside is a small pharmaceutical workshop. Many workers and masters are busy at their respective posts. The aroma of traditional Chinese medicine permeates the entire room.
Qiu Minli introduced:
"Mr. Xiao Lin, this is our own pharmaceutical factory of Miaochundang.
This workshop mainly produces Quanlu Dabu Pills and Bazhen Pills. These two proprietary Chinese medicines are the flagship products of our Miaochundang and are very well-known in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
In addition, we have a total of 5 such pharmaceutical workshops, and several other workshops are in this building, one by one, counting from the top. Our Miaochundang is not only a medical clinic, but also a pharmaceutical factory. How about it? Mr. Xiao Lin now knows where the traditional Chinese medicine factory should be located, right? "(End of Chapter)
