Temple Street, Kowloon, in the office of Lingnan Tang Chinese Medicine Clinic.
Unlike veterans who had to risk their lives to get to Hong Kong, the Lin family arrived "home" in Kowloon on the same day, and the whole family got their Hong Kong identity cards the next day.
From then on, the Lin family officially became Xiangjiang people. If they return to the mainland in the future, they will also do so in the name of Hong Kong businessmen.
Today, the men of the Lin family gathered together for a formal family meeting.
Lin Hongshen was sitting on the boss's chair, and two brothers, Lin Hongshen and Lin Scrophulariaceae, were sitting on the sofa outside. The three of them were puffing away.
Lin Licao, Lin Duzhong, and Lin Sanqi were sitting on the stools. They were juniors and were not qualified to sit on an equal footing with their elders. Dongguang people were very respectful.
As for the sons of Uncle Lin's fifth uncle and Lin's sixth uncle, they cannot participate in family meetings because they are all minors.
At this time, a financial officer came in, placed two boxes of ledgers on the table, and then went out and closed the door.
Uncle Lin Wu stood up and explained:
"Brother, there are two sets of account books here, one is the account book of Lingnan Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, and the other is the account book of the pharmaceutical factory.
When we first opened the medical clinic, we paid for it from my elder brother's accumulated rent over the years. In addition, our living expenses when we first arrived in Hong Kong were also paid for by the rent.
The Chinese medicine clinic did not make any money when it first opened. Later, Qizai provided four secret medicines, and the business of the medical clinic gradually improved. It is still booming now, with constant patients, and it began to make a lot of money.
So far, excluding all costs and labor expenses, the hospital's balance is 760,844.30 yuan. Brother, this is the account book. I remember every account personally. Please audit it. ”
Lin Sophora's personality has always been very Buddhist in Peiping. He is usually a smiling and good-natured person who doesn't care about anyone.
But after returning to his hometown of Huadu, Lin Sanqi found that his father had instantly regained his confidence, his eyes were full of light, and he began to look like the head of a big family.
It is estimated that during the 12 years in Pingbei, he has been careful to hide himself, giving people an illusion and avoiding being affected in various sports.
In fact, Lin Sanqi didn't even think about it. On the first day he traveled to this era in 1959, Lin Sophorae presided over the family separation.
He simply divided the property into four parts, and even blocked the door with bricks, asking each to manage his own family, so as to avoid conflicts between brothers in a timely manner.
Separating a family is a top priority in the family.
If he was a Buddhist old man who was very confused, how could he be so crisp and decisive?
Lin Kushen put out the cigarette butt, patted the thick account book, and said:
"Fifth brother, you know my rules back then. Brothers are brothers, business is business, so I have taught you since you were young to keep the first account well. You insisted on keeping accounts when I was away. I appreciate this very much. Happy.
I will not read this account book. I absolutely trust my own brother. But I have to let Licorice look through it and let him know how to run a pharmacy through the account book. After all, he is the eldest son, and the Lingnan Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic will definitely belong to him in the future.
But don’t worry, fifth and sixth brothers, I called you to come to Xiangjiang. It’s impossible for me to kick you out when I come. So my idea is that you should help at home in the past few years. We are not familiar with the place and we cannot be separated as a family.
When I let go of the medical clinic in the future and let Licorice take over, I will open a Chinese medicine clinic of your own in Xiangjiang for each of you, which will be operated completely independently, and all the expenses will be borne by my eldest brother. ”
According to the tradition of large families, the eldest son or head of the family should inherit the family property.
For example, the name "Lingnan Hall" can only be inherited and used by the head of the family.
Even if other brothers separate and open a medical clinic, they cannot use the name "Lingnan Hall" and can only use other hall names.
If other family members insist on using the name "Lingnan Hall", they can only exist as a "semi-colon", which means they have to accept the leadership and exploitation of the head office and have no autonomy.
Therefore, Lin Sophora flavescens opened a medical clinic for each of his two younger brothers and ran it independently. In fact, it was more beneficial to the two younger brothers to divide the family property, put them on the horse, and send them on a ride.
Lin Sophora flavescens continued at this time:
"One more thing, now my three sons have come to Xiangjiang. When we separated our family, we agreed that there would be three buildings in Xiangjiang, one for each son. So today, Licorice, Eucommia ulmoides, and Qizai are all here. We have done this. Let's talk about it. Building No. 1 belongs to Licorice, Building No. 2 belongs to Eucommia ulmoides, and Building No. 3 belongs to Qizai. Whether you live in it yourself or rent it out, your father will not care, and the income will belong to your own family.
Of course, the eldest son takes care of his parents, so your grandma and I are going to live in Building 1, where your eldest brother lives. ”
This was something that was discussed in Peiping a few years ago, and Lin Licorice, Lin Duzhong, and Lin Sanqi had no objections.
But at this time, according to common sense, Lin Wushu and Lin Liushu would suddenly change their minds, because they now live upstairs.
With such a share of the Lin family's wealth, there would be no place for them.
Even if they want to stay, they still have to pay rent to their nephew, right?
The key is not the rent, but the feeling of frustration that when a big house comes to Hong Kong, they will be swept away and become famous.
But Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Six remained expressionless, smiling as they watched the eldest brother's family divide the property. They were confident that the eldest brother would not ignore them.
Sure enough, after Lin Sophora divided the house, he turned back to his two younger brothers and three sons and said:
"Now that I'm here, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic is under my control, so the balance of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic will not be distributed to you. I have the final say on how to spend it. Otherwise, I, a bad old man with no money and no house, will say anything. .”
Hehehe~~~Everyone in the room laughed.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"This is what I decided. Since I have 760,000 Hong Kong dollars in my account and I have another 200,000 US dollars in HSBC, I decided to buy a building for each of my fifth and sixth brothers. I will pay for the house.
< br>
In this way, the brothers and sisters will have their own houses, and they will be more comfortable. You two will find out which building to buy. But it's best to be here in Kowloon, where we brothers can take care of each other. ”
Lin Hongshen laughed after hearing this and said sincerely:
"Brother, don't worry. Now the pharmaceutical company we have a joint venture with Qizai is making money. We have dividends. It won't be long before we can buy our own house. You see, my sixth brother and I have grown up. We can't rely on my eldest brother for everything."
Lin Kushen looked at the two younger brothers she had raised since childhood, as if they were half sons:
"It's your job to make money, but since I brought you to Xiangjiang, I must be responsible for you. Now that I still have some ability, I bought this house. In the future, when Licorice and the others take over, I won't be able to do it even if I want to. ”
Lin Hongshen and Lin Xuanshen knew their elder brother's temper, so they smiled and nodded in agreement.
While the three brothers in Huadu were still struggling to live in a small foreign-style building, the two brothers in Xiangjiang could already get a building and a medical center. This means they have different understandings, different encounters, and very different destinies.
Lin Sophora flavescens then thought:
"By the way, there is also the matter of the pharmaceutical factory. Qizai has already told me. Licorice and Eucommia are here today. Let's explain it clearly."
When it came to money, Lin Duzhong's ears perked up. Today was the second official separation and the last time, and he was afraid that he would suffer a loss.
"The money invested in the pharmaceutical factory was all provided by Qizai alone, and the four prescriptions were also provided by your little brother alone. My money and the ancestral prescriptions of our Lin family were not used.
The current equity distribution of the pharmaceutical company is 60% for Qizai and 20% for each of your fifth and sixth uncles.
Even if we arrive in Xiangjiang, this shareholding will not change. This pharmaceutical factory is jointly owned by your fifth uncle, sixth uncle and Qizai. It is not a public account. You two brothers must be clear about this. It is not a favoritism for your father. ”
Lin Licao quickly expressed his position: "Father, I understand, I have no objection."
Lin Duzhong was dumbfounded when he heard this. He originally thought that the pharmaceutical factory also belonged to his father and was owned by the public, so he could get a share of it as an inheritance in the future, but now his hope was shattered.
Of course, he did not doubt his father's words. After all, at the Huadu University Campus, he saw with his own eyes that Lin Sanqi paid out 2 million US dollars + 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
So I could only express my position feebly: "I know..."
Lin Sanqi is not a holy mother, so he would not say that this pharmaceutical factory should be collectively owned by the family. He also has to think about himself and Pan Ye's children and leave a piece of property for his small family. (End of chapter)
