A doctor who travels through two eras

2023

Lin Sanqi traveled back to the modern society and sat at home for a long time to relax. When the half-day jet lag came, he put the thoughts of 1960 on hold in his mind, changed into shorts and a white vest, and walked out of the room.

The house is quiet and deserted, and my parents are not at home.

Except for the youngest sister who goes to school, everyone else in the Lin family is busy making money.

Lin Sanqi is busy traveling between two eras to work as a buyer, Doctor Lin Musen is busy decorating the Chinese medicine clinic and recruiting people, and even Wang Wenjuan is stationed in the warehouse to strictly control the flow of medicinal materials in and out.

Then, since the Lin family’s dilapidated house was smashed up by the Zhou family last time, they have not had time to renovate it properly.

Lin Sanqi thought, this is totally inconsistent with the positioning of a newly-crowned billionaire. Where are the luxury cars and mansions that were promised? If you don't enjoy the money, what's the point of having money?
Lin Musen had just walked into the house from outside and saw his son coming down the stairs, so he said happily:
"Hey, you're back?"

Lin Sanqi felt strange, as if he was on a business trip. "Yeah, I'm back. Dad, what happened during the time I was away?"

Lin Musen looked at his son stupidly:

"Didn't you say you were there for a day, but here it was only an hour? Even though you walked for more than half a month, here it was actually only a day and a night."

Lin Sanqi patted his head, thinking that he would suffer from "time travel syndrome" sooner or later. He didn't even have time to adjust to the time difference and had to go back to his original life again.

Seeing his son was a little stunned, Lin Musen said with a smile:
"Okay, stop thinking about it. Let's go. Grandpa has exchanged a piece of residential land for us. Let's go and take a look."

Lin Sanqi was a little confused. "Hey, didn't we say we were going to renovate our house? How come we are moving to a new place to build a new house?"

Lin Musen was in a good mood today and said with a smile:

"Grandpa said that our current housing plot is too small, and the road in front of the house is too narrow, with no parking space. So he decided to let us exchange our housing plot with that of my fourteenth great-uncle's house in the west of the village. At the same time, I will give him an additional subsidy of 200 million yuan."

Homestead exchange is a common thing in the village, but why should we exchange with the fourteenth uncle's family? And we have to subsidize them with such a large sum of money?

Lin Sanqi, with a head full of questions, followed his father to the west of the village. When he saw his fourteenth uncle's house with his own eyes, he finally understood his grandfather's intentions.

My fourteenth uncle Lin Amao's family is the worst in Shilou Village. The reason is that both my fourteenth uncle and his wife are disabled, and their son after marriage also has mental disabilities.

You can imagine how miserable such a family is. When the son wants to get married, he can only find a girl who is also mentally retarded. As a result, the grandson he gives birth to also has some intellectual problems.

It became impossible for Lin Amao's family to rely on his grandson to make a comeback.

It can be said that Lin Amao's family mainly relies on dividends and subsistence allowances from the village to make a living. They have no worries about food and drink, but if the medical expenses are added, there is not enough money to spend.

Because of poverty, more than 30 years ago, Lin Amao exchanged his old house in the center of the village for a piece of land on the edge of the village, and built a small building on the land.

The purpose of changing the homestead was so that Lin Amao could contract a nearby pond and make a living by raising fish and shrimp to support his family.

Later, even though the economy developed rapidly and the land in Shilou Village was rapidly upgraded, the villagers did not bully Lin Amao and allowed him to continue to make a living by raising fish and shrimp in the fish pond.

Until this year, when Lin Amao fell and completely lost his ability to work, the fish farming plan had to be terminated. The Shilou Village Committee had already decided to take back the fish pond and give Lin Amao's family some additional subsidies.

(The land is not privately owned, and the fish pond is not privately owned either. The original contract for the fish pond has long expired, and the village committee has the right to take it back.)
Grandpa Lin stood in front of the pond and introduced Lin Sanqi:

"Qizi, look at this pond and your fourteenth uncle's homestead. Together they are almost two mu of land. This is the largest piece of land available in Shilou Village. Is it enough for you to build a new house?"

The building density in the urban villages is extremely high. It is so high that houses are built wherever there is space. If there is no space horizontally, they are built towards the sky.

Originally a two-story building was built into a three-story building, a three-story building was built into a five-story building, and the tallest building was built into an eight-story building, which was then used to collect rent, and this is also a major source of income for the villagers in the urban villages.

Of course, this way of building houses is almost always illegal. In 2022, a self-built house in an urban village collapsed at the back door of Changsha Medical College, killing more than 50 people. This was caused by illegal addition of floors.

But people are like that, they won't give up until they reach the Yellow River. No one will listen even if the alarm bell is sounded. Everyone is desperately trying to add floors to earn rent.

So if you want to get a piece of vacant land in Shilou Village to build a big house, it is really not an easy task and it is not something you can do just by having money.

Lin Sanqi was a little surprised when he learned about the amount of land in the urban village:

"Grandpa, with such a large piece of land, let alone building a house, we can even build a large garden. But will Fourteenth Uncle's family agree to this? What if our fellow villagers accuse us of bullying their disabled people? Then we will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall."

Uncle Lin laughed and seemed very confident:
"First of all, you are exchanging houses, using your three-story house in the center of the village for their small two-story house. In fact, your fourteenth uncle's family is the one that made a profit. This pond is not your fourteenth uncle's, and no one will say anything if your family subsidizes them with 200 million. With the interest of this 200 million, plus the dividends from the village, your fourteenth uncle's family's financial situation will be alleviated. If it were someone else, why would they need 200 million? Giving 20 is enough. Your father just doesn't want your fourteenth uncle to suffer a loss.

The reason why I chose this piece of land for your family is not only because of your fourteenth uncle's homestead. It is also because of this pond. Once it is filled and fenced off, these two acres of homestead will be bigger than my house."

The Lin family is now engaged in the "time-travel business". There is no difference between Chinese medicinal materials and pocket money purchases, and the assets in the account already amount to several hundred million in liquid funds.

With the Lin family's current financial resources, they can afford almost all the properties in Huadu except for the top luxury houses. They can take their pick; if they want a villa, they have a villa; if they want a large flat next to the slim waist, they have a large flat.

But whether it is Lin Musen or Lin Sanqi, the two father and son have a consensus that no matter how rich their family is, they will never move out of Shilou Village.

Living in the village gives you a sense of security.

Therefore, replacing the homestead and finding a larger place to build a new luxury house is the best option now. I have to say that Uncle Lin’s plan is perfect.

Lin Sanqi had no objection to this replacement subsidy.

"Grandpa, I will listen to you. Your arrangement is absolutely the best. It is for the sake of our family and also for Uncle Fourteen's family. If I were to say who I admire the most in my life, it would be you, Grandpa."

Uncle Lin thought about it for a long time, just to convince the two families, and then he showed a smug smile.

"That's right. Grandpa is the most fair person and he must serve every member of the tribe well."

Some people may say, please, building new houses in urban villages is not allowed, and the Land Bureau will not agree to this kind of homestead exchange, so it is impossible to pass the approval.

Don’t forget, this is the largest urban village in the country. To build a house in an urban village, you only need the consent of the neighbors, the clan (village), and Mazu...

While supporting Uncle Lin, Lin Sanqi asked:

"Grandpa, Uncle Tianhua, whom you recommended last time, is now the general manager of our Lingnan Hall. He is great. My father and I don't have to worry about anything. Business is booming now."

Uncle Lin was even happier when he heard this: "Isn't that right? I knew your tenth uncle was a sales talent in this field. Grandpa has good vision, right?"

Lin Sanqi quickly sent out rainbow farts again:
"Good, very good, so good that I have to ask you for help again, Grandpa. Are there any talents in the field of medicine among our Lin family?"

Uncle Lin stopped and was a little surprised: "Hey, are you planning to open a pharmaceutical factory?"

Lin Musen was also shocked when he heard this. Despite the division of labor in the family, he only had to manage the Lingnantang Chinese Medicine Clinic, but as a father, how could he be indifferent to his son's business?

"Son, you want to open a pharmaceutical factory? Isn't this a big step?"

Uncle Lin is also afraid that young people will get carried away and launch various projects, which will eventually lead to a break in the funding chain and a total loss.

Especially since the Lin family had only been prosperous for a few months, they actually wanted to take a leap and open a pharmaceutical factory. This step was too drastic.

"Yes, Qizi, it's great that your family sells medicinal materials now. It's asset-light, with low risk and high profit. If you open a pharmaceutical factory, it will be very troublesome and there will be a lot of things to do. The key is that the survival environment of domestic pharmaceutical factories is not good now.

For example, the former Tianhe Pharmaceutical Factory and the Second Pharmaceutical Factory have already closed down, and as far as I know, there is only one company in Huadu, the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group, that monopolizes everything. It may not be that easy for you to get involved.”

Lin Sanqi was really surprised this time:

"Wow, Grandpa, you also know a lot about medicine. That's amazing. Dad, we should hire you as a strategic consultant for our Lingnan Hall. The annual salary should be at least 1000 million."

Lin Sanqi deliberately wanted to give money to grandpa, after all, he had helped his family so much.

Uncle Lin waved his hand:
"Hey, I can be the consultant, but I can't accept money. I'm the clan leader, and the clan leader serves all the clan members. If I accept your money, then in the future, the clan members will suspect that I'm doing things for money, and then I'll lose everyone's trust."

Lin Sanqi scratched his head, thinking that the old man was really old-fashioned and would not even take the money.

"Qizi, opening a pharmaceutical factory is a huge undertaking. Why don't you call your tenth uncle to discuss it with you? His talents are not limited to sales. You can give him more responsibilities."

Lin Sanqi nodded silently, remembering to leave professional matters to professionals.

Lingnantang’s headquarters is located in the core area of ​​Tianhe CBD, on the 66th floor of Building A, Shilou Tiandi.

Shilou Tiandi has a total of five 5-story skyscrapers, all of which are assets of the Shilou Village Property Management Company. The rent is also an important source of income for Shilou Village. (End of this chapter)
