Huaxin Building, penthouse residence.
Lin Zhichao sat on the sofa and watched TV casually. After all, the "Li's" TV stations in this era were all boring to him; the English channel broadcasted European and American programs; the Chinese channel broadcast some dramas and the like programme.
He has never been interested in the programs of Li's TV station, and he doesn't even watch the news from it, because it is too long for him. It is better to read the newspaper at a glance.
Even so, Lin Zhichao is still a "major customer" of Li's. He has to pay 25 yuan for each TV every month. In a year, one TV costs 300 Hong Kong dollars. The important thing is that it is only broadcast for six hours at noon and evening every day. It is really an era of lack of entertainment.
Well, Lin Zhichao will soon have no shortage of entertainment!
Sakurai Marina sat next to Lin Zhichao after a gust of fragrance. She had just washed up, and her whole body was still a little rosy.
"Brother-in-law, do you think I'm beautiful?" Lin Zhichao's charming and seductive voice attracted Lin Zhichao.
Lin Zhichao turned his head and looked at Zhenna. If he just looked at her face, she looked like a quiet intellectual woman. She wore glasses to highlight this feature. When his eyes moved downward, he had a broad and deep mind. His Shiromura shirt was spread open, and those A mysterious temptation comes from the cracks.
Her words were a little too confident and unrestrained, which made Lin Zhichao always guard against her.
He doesn't like women who are not easy to control, and is worried that he will fall into trouble with a woman or be unable to get rid of her in the future. Therefore, Jinna tried his best to hint to Lin Zhichao many times.
However, Lin Zhichao still turned a blind eye. Especially in Japan, he was even more cautious. He must not make the same mistake as Dong Ge in his previous life.
"Of course it's beautiful!"
After Lin Zhichao finished speaking, he turned back and looked at the TV.
At this time, Rinaiko was washing up, and there was going to be a big battle.
Jinna was a little anxious, and she even began to wonder, was she worse than her sister?
Impossible. Everyone said that I was prettier and smarter than my sister since I was a child. How come I am now with this man and I am not as attractive as my sister!
She directly took Lin Zhichao's arm and rubbed it with her open weapon.
"Brother-in-law, since I'm beautiful, why don't you be nicer to me?" Jinna coquettishly said.
Lin Zhichao was very calm. He even immediately noticed that Rinaizi had come out wearing a bath towel, so he decisively withdrew his arm.
Then, he deliberately said: "Marina, I am your sister's man, so naturally I can't be nice to you. Otherwise, wouldn't I disrespect her!"
At this time, Jinna had lost a little sense and said: "Mr. Lin, I am prettier than my sister and have a better figure than her. If she can do it, so can I."
Lin Zhichao couldn't help but laugh in his heart. When Zhenna said this, the relationship between the sisters was cracked.
This is what he wants!
As expected, Hinaizi was almost furious at this moment. He didn't expect his sister to be so unscrupulous!
She actually knew that her sister wanted to get on Lin Zhichao's boat, but she was her biological sister after all, so she couldn't bear to drive her away; she was even thinking that it would be okay if Lin Zhichao proposed that she and his sister would both become his women.
After all, she was just a lover, and how long she could bind this man was the most important thing. The longer the time goes, the more things may change. Even if the outcome cannot be changed, at least you can get more.
Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "You really want to be my woman? It's not necessary. You all know that I have a family, and my relationship with your sister is just a lover. She felt that it was not good to do this that day. You can After all, if you break up peacefully, everyone gets what they need. And you are living with your sister now. If she is rich, she will naturally take care of you as a sister. "
This is already a showdown!
Even if it's a showdown with Hinaiko, it's also a showdown with Shina.
Zhenna was obviously obsessed at this time, and said with some temper: "I don't want her to give me charity! I have been stronger than her since I was a child, why should she be superior now. Mr. Lin, let me be your woman too!" "
Lin Zhichao crossed his arms and smiled without saying a word.
Hinaiko, who was eavesdropping, finally came out angrily, and then gave Marina a slap in the face. After all, it was very light and she was reluctant to slap her.
"Zhenna, you are simply hopeless! It was you who took the initiative to come to me, but now you say that I am giving you alms, you, you."
After Jinna received a slap, she suddenly felt humiliated and stood up suddenly, as if she was about to fight Hinaiko.
Seeing this, Lin Zhichao knew that things should not be overdone, so he quickly stood up and pulled the two women to both sides of the sofa.
"Everyone, sit down!" He then commanded forcefully.
Under the majesty of Lin Zhichao and the majesty of the financial sponsor's father, the two women were still intimidated.
Afterwards, Lin Zhichao paced back and forth, and the two women ignored each other.
"Okay! The thing started because of me, so I will be the referee. Zhenna will follow from now on, and you two will follow me. Do you have any objections to this? If you have any objections, just raise your hands and quit!" Lin Zhichao said condescendingly said.
quit?
He was sure that neither woman would refuse!
As expected, Rinaizi remained silent, while Zhennai was overjoyed.
"Mr. Lin, I want to be your woman!" After Mariina finished speaking, she did not forget to give Hinaiko a provocative look, meaning that from now on we will be on equal footing and I will never be angry with you again.
But what Lin Zhichao said next shocked her.
"Okay, since you all agree! There is one more thing to say. Although Jinna follows me, I will not buy you any more villas or luxury cars. Even the living expenses need to be paid by your sister. In other words, I will give Hinaiko a monthly living allowance of 10,000 US dollars, and your sister will take care of the money."
Zhenna immediately said: "Why!"
Lin Zhichao said domineeringly: "I am willing to do this! You should understand that I didn't want to touch you originally, but now you take the initiative to pursue me, the treatment will naturally be different. Moreover, I don't like the relationship between you two sisters to be too tense. After all, I don't I will use my energy to act as a referee for you every day. Therefore, this can ease your relationship. Of course, I believe your sister will not deliberately embarrass you, after all, you are sisters."
Rinaizi immediately said proudly: "As long as you are obedient and don't be so arrogant, I can still give you 5,000 US dollars in living expenses every month. I can also lend you a sports car to drive occasionally, and you can also have your bedroom in the villa. When shopping, naturally Your share is indispensable. If you can't accept it, just find someone else. Mr. Lin is my man."
Haha, this is what I want! Lin Zhichao was very happy that he could successfully provoke a conflict between the two sisters today, and then suppressed Jinna fiercely.
The expression on Jinna's face changed. If she disagreed, she would have to go to the workplace again, and harassment from her boss would be inevitable. If she agrees, it means that her sister will always keep her under pressure from now on.
But the monthly living expenses of US$5,000 is tempting enough!
The salary of Japanese college students who just graduated is only 60 US dollars per month (about 330 Hong Kong dollars), which is 720 US dollars a year. It is three times that of Hong Kong, but it is still not high. However, Japan increased rapidly in the mid-to-late 1960s.
"Sister, I'm sorry!" Jinna immediately bowed her head and apologized.
"Listen to Mr. Lin and me from now on, do you hear me?" Hinaiko said seriously.
This sister's performance today simply scared her. If Lin Zhichao was poached by her, she could think of the fate of being abandoned, so she still felt in her heart that Jinna needed to be taught a lesson.
"Yeah" Zhenna said aggrievedly.
However, she soon ran out of time to feel aggrieved!
I saw Lin Zhichao sitting on the sofa generously, and then motioned to Hinaiko and asked her to teach Jinna to enter the industry!
Hinaiko stood up slowly, knelt in front of Lin Zhichao, and then said to Zhenna: "Kneel here, do whatever I tell you to do!"
Zhenna could only imitate her sister and kneel in front of Lin Zhichao.
"Be happy, I don't like you like this!"
"Yes, Mr. Lin!"
Later, Lin Zhichao felt hot and cold.
He stretched out his long arm and brushed Mariina's hair with his hand. Not to mention, the girl with glasses was beautiful. It seemed that there was a high probability that her younger sister would be prettier than her elder sister.
After a while, when Lin Zhichao lifted Zhenna up, he suddenly felt that she was really broad-minded.
"Mr. Lin, you still said you don't want it!" Seeing that Lin Zhichao couldn't put it down, Zhenna became excited again.
"Papa. Don't challenge my authority!"
Very elastic butt.
"Yeah, but I'm No. 1, so you have to be gentle later!"
Hey, there is such a thing!
This girl with glasses is really full of surprises, and of course she needs to be properly trained before she can be put to great use.
Time flies and it’s July in a blink of an eye.
On this day, the Xintiandi Shopping Center in Causeway Bay opened. There are more than 70 shops here, attracting a large number of customers on the opening day.
Xintiandi Shopping Center and Daimaru Department Store are connected by a pedestrian bridge to satisfy citizens' shopping enjoyment. Regarding this design, Lin Zhichao believes that it will provide some inspiration for Hong Kong's urban planning.
The Xintiandi Building has a total of 26 floors. The two underground floors are parking lots, the first underground floor is shops, the seventh floor above ground is a shopping mall, the eighth to twelfth floors above ground are office buildings, and the top is high-end apartments.
The entire building is actually built according to the model of a commercial building.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Cheung Kong held a cocktail party to celebrate the opening of the 'Xintiandi Shopping Center', and also invited a large number of Hong Kong celebrities.
Lin Zhichao held the wine glasses and toasted one by one, thanking everyone for their appreciation.
"Thank you all for coming to the reception at Xintiandi Shopping Center today!"
Someone immediately said flatteringly: "Lin Sheng, now Cheung Kong Holdings has Miramar Shopping Center in Kowloon, Xintiandi Shopping Center and Daimaru Department Store on Hong Kong Island. It can be said that it is the overlord of retail commercial real estate in Hong Kong and Kowloon!"
Lin Zhichao immediately smiled and said: "Thank you! Hong Kong will become more and more prosperous. I just came to the market to test the waters first. As Hong Kong's economic level rises and overseas tourists increase, there will definitely be more shopping malls like this in the future." People invest. Maybe one company will be better than the other, and I, the former wave, was photographed on the beach!"
"Haha, Lin Sheng is so humble. You are always a pioneer in the real estate industry, and latecomers are just following in your footsteps!"
Everyone laughed!
Outsiders may not know how many Central office buildings Lin Zhichao owns, but they definitely know that Miramar Hotel, Miramar Shopping Center, Daimaru Department Store (Hong Kong), and Xintiandi Shopping Center belong to Cheung Kong Holdings, which is also an industry belonging to Lin Zhichao’s family.
This is enough to firmly occupy the top spot in the Chinese real estate industry in Hong Kong! What's more, the residential units sold by Cheung Kong Holdings each year account for about 10 to 15% of the supply.
At the reception, Lin Zhichao was chatting and laughing with the guests, accompanied by Tang Caiyun. Many people now believe that the owners of Cheung Kong Holdings are Lin Zhichao and his wife, rather than Lin Zhichao starting the business alone.
Such public opinion naturally made Lin Zhichao very happy and not disgusted with it. After all, what he wants is that Tang Caiyun can support Yangtze River Industries when he is not in Hong Kong or something unexpected happens.
There are still many such enterprises in Hong Kong. For example, Eagle King and Chinachem were started by husband and wife. Before their children grew up, women were also a big helper.
"Lin Sheng, congratulations!" Yu Chengwan happily congratulated him.
He is now completely a businessman. After he was almost kidnapped, he stopped speaking ill of Taiwan and focused on buying real estate. With Lin Zhichao's promotion back then, he is now a real estate developer with assets worth millions, becoming one of the few successful transformation generals.
The woman next to him is his second wife Wu Bing, who is very favored. He believes that Wu Bing brings him good luck.
"Yu Sheng, thank you for supporting me!" Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you play mahjong with my mother, don't always let it go! I'm really afraid that if you do this, she will think that she is the God of Gamblers. Then, I will have to go Omen redeems people!”
Wu Bing smiled as bright as a flower and said flatteringly: "Lin Sheng, Aunt Wu is not a gambler. She only plays small cards when playing cards. When it comes to big cards, it's gambling. It's not good!"
"Haha, you know my mother better than I do!"
In fact, Lin Zhichao was just joking. Although his mother likes to play mahjong, she is not really addicted to it. Of course, even if Wu Wenying likes gambling, Lin Zhichao is not worried.
First, his wealth is huge, how much can Wu Wenying lose?
Second, if Lin Zhichao is serious, the casino will be afraid of him. Of course, Lin Zhichao is talking about his super brain, which should be able to beat the casino.
Of course, Lin Zhichao still doesn't want his mother to go to the casino, after all, he personally hates gambling.
He obviously has an easier way to 'rob money', so why should he sit in a smoky environment and gamble!
Any 'money grabbing' method in the world, including the 'big circle gang' in later generations and the current 'casino', are not as big as Lin Zhichao's game.
Zhang Ziqiang asked for 2 billion. It was in the late 1990s that when he asked for it, he didn't dare to ask for 3 to 5 billion!
And Lin Zhichao's "grab" in the Hong Kong stock market is worth 30 billion!
More importantly, he is legal and risk-free; Zhang Ziqiang's kind of money grabbing will eat peanuts within three years, and his wife and children will be someone else.
"No way! Lin Sheng is a filial son. Whenever he is free, he will pick up Aunt Wu!" Wu Bing continued to flatter her.
In fact, Wu Wenying doesn't like to play cards with specific groups of people. She has many poker friends, so she plays cards in turns, not every day, only two or three times a week. It's one of the few ways of entertainment for their age.
According to Lin Zhichao's understanding, in the previous life, Airship Tai's mother went directly to Omen to gamble heavily, causing everyone there to call Airship Tai. Airship Tai had no choice but to stipulate the amount for his mother. His mother later went to Las Vegas to gamble, and Tai could only accompany her to avoid losing too much.
Wu Wenying likes to play mahjong but does not like gambling. This is something Lin Zhichao knows, so he strongly supports proper entertainment. Occasionally, at twelve o'clock, he would pick her up in person, as a sign of filial piety.
But, these are nothing!
With just a little bit of expression, being a mother has made me happy for a long time.
Next, Lin Zhichao greeted hundreds of guests and smiled happily.
In the evening of that day, Lin Zhichao and the senior executives worked overtime and held a meeting to discuss the Xintiandi Shopping Center.
Generally speaking, Xintiandi Shopping Center is very popular, but not as popular as Daimaru Department Store. However, Lin Zhichao had predicted it early.
"The main problem is the brand and product! Daimaru Department Store has many channels for overseas products, which is where we fall short." Liang Guangchanghui reported.
Lin Zhichao nodded gently and said, "It doesn't matter! We have only been in retail business for less than five years, and we can slowly expand in the future."
Liang Guangchang suddenly felt relieved, and then said: "Our shopping mall model is highly praised by Americans. It has first-class layout and first-class concept. However, Hong Kong's economy cannot keep up. There are too few local brands and top overseas brands still look down on Hong Kong." .”
This is true!
Although Lin Zhichao has pioneered many advanced shopping mall concepts, there is nothing he can do if his soft power cannot keep up.
Of course, this is not to say that it has a big impact. On the contrary, they have done their best under the existing soft power situation. For example, Miramar Shopping Center has now become a favorite place for citizens to visit.
Speaking of shortcomings, it is that the grade is not high enough!
But at this time, Hong Kong itself did not care about class.
Lin Zhichao took Tang Caiyun, Xu Caiying, and Audrey to Repulse Bay No. 1. The reason why it is called "Repulse Bay No. 1" is actually the beginning of Repulse Bay Road nearby.
In fact, 'Repulse Bay No. 1' is a long way downhill from Repulse Bay. It is a mid-level residence rather than a seaside villa. 'Repulse Bay No. 1' is surrounded by Deep Water Bay Road, Repulse Bay Road, Wong Nai Chung Gap Road and Tai Tam Reservoir Road.
Of course, the four roads are lined with plants, making them very private. What's more, No. 1 Repulse Bay covers an area of 20,000 square feet, which is nearly twice the size of No. 79 Deep Water Bay.
Lin Zhichao took the initiative to purchase this villa, and since it was the peak of real estate, he bought it for 1 million Hong Kong dollars. Compared with the previous life of King of Omen in 1966, which only spent 700,000 Hong Kong dollars, Lin Zhichao was obviously taken advantage of.
But it doesn’t matter, if you buy it a few years ago, you can rebuild and decorate it.
"Audrey, do you like it here? It takes half the time to enter the city. Take the Deep Water Bay Road over there and you will arrive at No. 79 Deep Water Bay in about ten minutes."
Audrey Hepburn nodded happily and said, "I like it very much! It was a gift from my husband. I like it all!"
Xu Caiying immediately joked: "Can you stop being so coquettish, we are still here!"
Audrey said bluntly: "You can also act coquettishly, aren't we all in this together?"
Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying's faces immediately turned red. There was really no distance between them.
Lin Zhichao is very satisfied with the team of wives he has created and enjoys it together.
Then, he said: "How to rebuild this villa, Audrey, do you have any ideas?"
Audrey Hepburn said decisively: "You make up your mind for me!"
Lin Zhichao nodded and then said: "You have few members in this house, so it is a two-story American-style villa, plus half of the front yard, which is 10,000 square feet; the remaining half is used for swimming pools and lawns. The surrounding fence is heightened to protect privacy and security.”
Soon, he settled on the rough design. Lin Zhichao was an excellent architect in his own right, so it was easy to design the villa.
"That's great! Husband, you are so versatile. In such a short period of time, you have already come up with a rough plan. I'm so satisfied, thank you!" Audrey Hepburn was like a young girl, her eyes shining with light.
Lin Zhichao was a little proud of the woman's praise, and he planned to let Zeshi design according to his ideas.
After watching for a while, everyone left. At this time, No. 1 Deep Water Bay was already very old-fashioned, and Audrey naturally disliked it, so she continued to live at No. 79 Deep Water Bay this summer vacation.
At present, Lin Zhichao's family already owns three garden-style villas, not to mention the one on Conde Road. They have been allocated to Cheung Kong Holdings and are planning to rebuild high-rise mansions in the future.
