A doctor who travels through two eras

Coming out of the Yuen Long Industrial Village Management Committee, Yin Lianyi was a little angry:
"We are here to invest and build a factory, to create jobs and tax revenue for them, so what is their attitude? It's fine if they don't welcome us, but they are so sarcastic. It's 2023, and they still have such a strong sense of superiority?"

The Lingnan Hall delegation did not receive a warm welcome at the management committee. Even when Lin Tianhua proposed to invest and set up a factory, several staff members looked at the mainlanders across from them as if they were fools.

In the end, of course, the issue of setting up the factory was not reached, which aroused Yin Lianyi's anger.

From the little girl's worldview, I came to set up a factory because I think highly of you. You should treat me like a VIP and roll out the red carpet, but you should at least give me some respect, right?
Lin Tianhua was not surprised and consoled him:
"Xiao Yin, there's no need for you to be angry. There must be a reason why they don't welcome industrial investment."

At this time, Lin Sanqi stood on the east side of Yuen Long Village, looking at the large ponds on the beach and feeling puzzled:
"Uncle Shi, the people from the management committee just said that there are no industrial land quotas now, but you can see the endless ponds here, which are at least several thousand acres. How can there be no land?"

Lin Sanqi was also confused, because in his worldview, as long as someone came to invest and build a factory, let alone fill up the village pond, even if the entire village was demolished, what would happen?
Meng Peng, who had already come to fight before, answered Lin Sanqi's doubts:
"Mr. Lin, the ponds you see are actually fish ponds. You may say that building a factory and collecting rent is definitely more profitable than raising fish. In fact, the people who occupy this land do not expect to make money by raising fish."

"Oh~~~"

Yin Lianyi made a tone of sudden enlightenment, and it was obvious that as a major in finance and economics, she understood it immediately.

But Lin Sanqi, who majored in medicine, was still confused: "Isn't raising fish to make money? I don't want to build a factory. So why?"

"Boss Lin, this is actually very easy to understand. Just like those so-called high-tech companies, why do they keep burning money and making losses, but the bosses can eventually earn tens or hundreds of billions? The principle is the same.

High-tech companies do not make money from the business itself, but from the shareholders after the listing, which is called "cutting leeks". The idea of ​​Yuen Long Village is actually a kind of capital speculation, that is, it wants to do real estate."

When Meng Peng said this, Lin Sanqi already understood, but he didn't say anything and continued to listen to the sales director's analysis.

"Real estate is definitely the most profitable business in Hong Kong, but there is too little land in Hong Kong, so many people are eyeing industrial land. The operation is very simple, that is, first bid for it in the name of industrial land, and then use connections to change the nature of the land, from industrial to commercial or commercial and residential."

Lin Sanqi thought, this operation doesn't seem to be a Hong Kong specialty, right? There are many people doing this in China.

Meng Peng was still explaining to his boss:

“Although there is a fee to be paid for industrial to commercial conversion, real estate developers who dare to do this generally don’t care about this little money. What they want is to ensure that the land falls into their hands, and then hold on to it for a few years before selling it and making a fortune.

A few days ago, a piece of industrial land in West Kowloon was bought by a boss for 40 billion, and then he held on to it for several years, and finally sold it for more than 200 billion. Mr. Lin, think about it, we work hard for a year, but we still can't make money by speculating in land. Who would be willing to do business with peace of mind?

The same is true for Yuen Long Village. Now that the land resources in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon are gone, 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.

Yuen Long residents do not welcome people to invest and set up factories now, but even if commercial development starts in the future, it will be difficult to get rid of these factories. Similarly, the fish pond in front of us will be a ready-made commercial land resource in the future.”

Lin Sanqi was not surprised to hear this. If capital is used properly, it can enable the entire national economy to develop rapidly.

However, if capital is run wild, repeated economic crises can cause great damage to the country and the 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.

People say that power without supervision is scary, but everyone forgets that capital without regulation is even scarier.

"In fact, it's good to develop the New Territories. How big is the New Territories? About 1000 square kilometers? I remember that there was a community in Beijing called Tiantongyuan, which was the largest in the country. It only covered an area of ​​8 square kilometers but had a population of 60.

The entire population of Hong Kong is 750 million. It is more than enough to build eight or ten Tin Tong Yuans in the New Territories. Wouldn't the housing problem that has troubled Hong Kong people for so many years be solved? No more living in coffin houses."

After hearing this, Yin Lianyi and Meng Peng thought that the boss was really naive and wanted everyone to have a house?
Lin Tianhua is an elder, so he can naturally give some advice:
"It's not that simple. Hong Kong's capital has been sucking blood from millions of Hong Kong citizens for so many years. If they suddenly build millions of new houses so that Hong Kong people can have their own houses, how can the capitalists suck blood?"

Lin Sanqi sighed:

"Young people have no housing, no good jobs, their incomes are getting lower and lower, they see less and less hope, and they are sucked dry by capitalists all day long. Of course they are dissatisfied with society. The country should take action and stop letting Hong Kong's capital run rampant. Isn't young people's disgust with capital a kind of disappointment in the country?"

Lin Tianhua thought to himself, you are such a bold young man, aren't you 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. Sometimes it's not that we don't want to take action, but that the time has not come yet. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Where are we going next?"

Lin Sanqi didn't want to say more. After all, he was not from Hong Kong, so the life and death of Hong Kong people had nothing to do with him.

When Hong Kong was prosperous, the Lin family did not benefit from it at all;

Even if Xiangjiang goes bankrupt, it doesn’t have anything to do with the Lin family.

Yin Lianyi, the future boss lady, discovered a problem at this time and quickly raised it:

"Uncle Shi, Manager Meng, that's not right. Didn't Mr. Mao from Huadu First Hospital say that the leading Chinese medicine companies in China, such as Tongrentang, Guangyuyuan, Darentang, Hu Qingyu Tang, etc., are all setting up factories in Hong Kong to avoid domestic legal risks? Then where are these pharmaceutical factories located?"

Lin Sanqi thought this was a good question. If it is so difficult to set up a factory in Hong Kong and even land is not available, then where are the Hong Kong factories of pharmaceutical companies such as Tong Ren Tang, Guang Yu Yuan, Darentang, Hu Qing Yu Tang, etc.?
Meng Peng had already been to the front station, so he naturally understood the situation clearly:
"Boss, this is actually quite funny. Let's take a rest tonight. Tomorrow I will take you to see the pharmaceutical factories of various pharmaceutical companies."

Although Lin Sanqi had a lot of questions in his mind, he saw that it was getting late and thought that since it was his first time in Hong Kong, it would be nice to go out and have some fun.

For example, Portland Street... Shanghai Street... Reclamation Street...

"Okay, let's go to Mong Kok and Yau Tsim Mong tonight. This is my first time in Hong Kong, and I want to feel the hospitality of the Hong Kong people, haha."

Lin Tianhua and Meng Peng were both men. They smiled knowingly after hearing this, but their eyes involuntarily glanced at Yin Lianyi, wondering if the future boss lady was still there.

Yin Lianyi smiled:
"Thirteen o'clock, you don't think I have never seen a Hong Kong movie? You don't know where Portland Street in Mong Kok is? Humph."

When Lin Sanqi heard this, he thought that it would not be good if a woman was too smart but did not have the wisdom and magnanimity of ancient women. In this regard, Xiao Yezi was better. Xiao Yezi was very obedient and would not object even if he married several concubines.

The characteristic of men is that they will never admit it even if beaten to death. Instead, the more guilty they feel, the louder their throats become:

"You are a filthy bastard, what are you thinking about? I went to Mong Kok because my relatives have properties in Yau Ma Tei, and I wanted to see what's going on there. Maybe one day I will immigrate to Hong Kong."

Lin Tianhua looked up at the sky, but thought to himself, the Lin family did have relatives in Hong Kong, but he had never heard of any relative living in Yau Ma Tei.

Of course, he saw through it but didn't say anything, and they are still good relatives.

Yin Lianyi blinked her big, kazilan eyes suspiciously, then waved her little fist: "Humph, men, it's best not to lie."

Lin Sanqi thought to himself that he really didn't lie, but that was in 1960. The Lin family had three small buildings in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong, and it was likely that he would live here in the future.

So even though it is a parallel world now, he still wants to go and check it out in advance. This sense of time and space separation makes him feel very novel.

Hong Kong is not a big place. An hour later, Alpha arrived at Mong Kok in the city.

As the most prosperous commercial area in Hong Kong, the streets are filled with billboards. Although the roads are narrow, they appear to be more popular.

Lin Sanqi held Yin Lianyi's hand, his eyes moving around as he admired the bustling night view of Hong Kong. Of course, it was pure appreciation, without the confusion and envy that the previous generation had when they saw the night view of Hong Kong.

Yin Lianyi was a little surprised to see Lin Sanqi looking around:
"Hey, you really are here to visit your relatives."

Lin Sanqi chuckled: "Of course, otherwise what do you think I'm here for? With a little Liu Yifei like you by my side, any other woman is just a mediocre woman, how can I look at them?"

Women all like to hear nice words, and Yin Lianyi is no exception, feeling secretly proud:
"Where do your relatives live? Should we bring some gifts when we visit them?"

"My relatives, well, let's find the Tin Hau Temple in Yau Ma Tei first. My dad said that there is a north-south street to the north of the Tin Hau Temple. If there are three 8-story buildings that look exactly the same, that's my relative's home."

"Oh, then what is the relationship between your relative and your family? What is his name? Is he close?"

Southerners tend to form large families, but there are also different branches within the large families. Generally speaking, the closer the blood relationship, the better the relationship.

"My relative, the head of the family is named Lin Kushen, he has three sons, the eldest is Lin Gancao, the second is Lin Duzhong, and the third, haha, has the same name as me, Lin Sanqi..."

Yin Lianyi also laughed and said, "Then it seems that they are distant relatives. Close relatives would not have the same name."

Yau Tsim Mong, the intersection of Wing Sing Lane and Temple Street.

Yin Lianyi pointed to the dilapidated buildings in the northeast corner and asked, "Hey, is this the place? Three 8-story buildings in a row."

Lin Sanqi looked in the direction of the finger and counted the floors. Sure enough, all three buildings had 8 floors, but their appearances were slightly different. They were not exactly the same as Doctor Lin Kucan had said.

Looking more closely, I found that the construction style is still the same. It is estimated that it has been renovated several times over the past few decades, and the appearance has changed.

This area is full of old houses, with shops on the first floor. Just like the shops in the urban villages, they are shabby and obviously are places where local residents spend their money.

Temple Street is not too long. Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi have walked back and forth twice and are basically sure that this is the place.

"Hey, Lin Sanqi, do your relatives live here? Why don't you ask them?"

"No need to ask, this should be it." Although there are some differences between the two eras, the details are exactly the same. The three small buildings in 1960 and the three small buildings in 2023 are the same. The main difference is that the owners are different.

Just like Shilou Village still existed in 1960, except that the surname Lin was changed to Li, and the people changed.

Otherwise, Lin Sanqi could go back to 1960, get the house deed and land deed from his father, and then travel back through time. Could 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 his 60-year-old father was really visionary. After practicing medicine for so many years, he only bought a small Western-style house in Huadu and invested all the remaining money in Hong Kong.

With three 8-story buildings, not only could the whole family work as tenants in the s and s, but even decades later, their descendants would still have no worries about food and clothing. What a farsighted person this was.

Lin Sanqi sometimes really suspected that old doctor Lin Kucan might also be a time traveler and knew about this disaster in 49.

"Let's go, we found the place, let's go back."

Yin Lianyi asked with a strange look on her face:

"Thirteen o'clock, this can't be your old lover's house, right? You just quietly take a look downstairs and leave? Don't you go up and say hello?"

Lin Sanqi was completely speechless: "Yin Bastard, can you read less romance novels? Besides, my old lover is a girl from Shanxi, hum hum?"

"Hey, you're from Shanxi? Let me think, is it the one who dumped you after graduation? You're making a fuss and missing out on a great opportunity to become a billionaire."

"Then has your old lover entered the palace and become a eunuch? Yin Bastard, you have such a cruel heart~~~"

"You! Thirteen, I will make you a eunuch now, you stop~~~"

That night, at the door of the hotel room, Lin Sanqi wanted to take advantage of the situation and completely take down Yin Lianyi.

As a result, Yin Lianyi turned her face away and said, "Go find your Shanxi girl. Bye!"

The door was closed mercilessly. No matter how hard Lin Sanqi knocked, it was useless. Lin Sanqi was so angry that he really wanted to go to Portland Street or Lan Kwai Fong...

The next day, Lin Musen also rushed over from Huadu and the business inspection continued.

Chatham Road South, which belongs to Tsim Sha Tsui, is the location of the Hong Kong Chinese Medicine Clinic "Miao Chun Tang".

Qiu Minli, the boss of Miaochuntang, and several others were already waiting at the door. When they saw the business car approaching, they took the initiative to lead it up:
"Welcome the three General Managers Lin to Miaochun Hall, haha."

Lin Musen also smiled and greeted: "I am flattered that Director Qiu came to greet me personally."

"No, no, we are good partners and good friends. It's too formal for Mr. Lin to say that."

Miaochuntang is now the largest customer of Lingnantang. The first transaction amount between the two parties was as high as 600 million Hong Kong dollars. It is definitely Lin Sanqi's God of Wealth.

Lingnan Hall certainly made a lot of money, but Miaochun Hall also gained both fame and fortune.

After all, authentic, rare and natural medicinal materials like Lingnan Tang are extremely difficult to find. After this batch of Chinese medicinal materials was delivered to Hong Kong, it quickly caused a sensation among Hong Kong's wealthy circles.

Those wild ginsengs were bought in packages as if they were free, making Miaochuntang a tidy profit.

Making money is one thing, but what Chairman Qiu Minli values ​​most is "fame".

Miao Chun Tang has good medicine. Once its reputation spreads, it will leave a good impression on the local wealthy people in Hong Kong. Qiu Minli feels that there is a great hope of surpassing Rui Jun Tang, the number one in Hong Kong.

It is precisely because Lingnan Hall can bring benefits to Miaochun Hall that Qiu Minli personally brought people to welcome 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 Miaochuntang.

Lin Sanqi was more concerned about Miaochuntang's homemade 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, Hong Kong inherited the British system. Public hospitals only develop "Western medicine", and practicing physicians refer to Western medicine, not traditional Chinese medicine.

"Chinese medicine clinics" are all private and responsible for their own profits and losses. The government only plays a supervisory role and neither encourages nor restricts them. It basically regards Chinese medicine as a product of the same nature as "herbal tea".

Because it is not taken seriously, there are fewer 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 from it:

“Chairman Qiu, this is one or two ounces of wild musk. I came here in a hurry to visit you this time. I am sorry to have caused you trouble.”

Qiu Minli was shocked when he heard this: "Wild musk? Wow, this is a treasure. I haven't seen it in many years. The strength of Lingnan Hall is really extraordinary."

Although Hong Kong does not ban natural musk, the number of wild musk deer both at home and abroad has decreased sharply, so wild musk has become very rare, and the price has even been driven up to 5 to 10 RMB per gram.

Qiu Minli stroked the precious wild musk and said with emotion:

"Making good medicine requires good medicinal materials. Without good medicinal materials, we at Miaochuntang cannot formulate many prescriptions, and thus cannot produce them. This is our biggest worry at the moment. Fortunately, we have cooperated with you, Lingnantang, otherwise we would just be worried.

You don’t know that the requirements of Hong Kong’s local wealthy people are very strict. Several top wealthy families have their own Chinese medicine practitioners. If the Chinese medicine prescriptions we sell do not meet their requirements, not only will we not receive payment, but our Chinese medicine clinic will also have a bad reputation in the wealthy circle.

Therefore, we would rather not produce prescriptions than fool patients, especially those top wealthy people. For us Chinese medicine practitioners, credibility is the most important thing. Without credibility, patients will not trust our medicine, and then our Chinese medicine clinic will not be able to continue.”

Lin Musen nodded and sighed:

"Alas, you guys in Hong Kong are doing well. The TCM industry in our mainland is in a mess right now. I'm afraid my peers will laugh at me if I tell you about it. At the same time, more and more young people no longer trust TCM. It's a tragedy."

Qiu Minli was also good at talking, and he quickly said, "We still have Lingnan Hall as the backbone, so the Chinese medicine circle in the mainland will not be ruined."

Hehehe~~~
The whole place was filled with laughter. Older people always like to flatter each other about business matters.

Lin Sanqi couldn't help it and prepared to consult Qiu Minli, the big boss of Hong Kong's traditional Chinese medicine circle.

"Mr. Qiu, I would like to ask you a question. As you know, the mainland does not allow the use of natural medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine. For example, wild musk is hard to obtain. If you do obtain it, you will be reported and will be sentenced to jail.

We at Lingnan Hall are facing this problem now. We have natural medicinal materials and ancestral prescriptions, but it is impossible to set up a pharmaceutical factory in the mainland because we cannot get past the legal barrier.

So our idea is to open a Chinese medicine factory in Hong Kong to specialize in making various Chinese patent medicines. Do you think our method is feasible? Or is it feasible?"

Qiu Minli listened carefully, then nodded firmly:
"Opening a Chinese medicine factory in Hong Kong is probably the best way at the moment. I think it is feasible. After all, Hong Kong does not prohibit the use of natural medicinal materials. Of course, there are still restrictions on wild animals, but there is no problem with farmed ones."

Lin Sanqi continued to ask:
"Then here comes the question. We went to Yuen Long and Dapu yesterday for an on-site inspection and found that the land for setting up a factory in Hong Kong is very expensive. The land fee is often hundreds of millions or even billions, which is staggering.

It’s expensive, but these industrial villages don’t seem to welcome us to settle in. They prefer to speculate on land to make money. So now we are facing the dilemma of having no place to set up factories. 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, then burst into laughter:

"Boss Xiaolin, you have a misunderstanding. Why must we build a pharmaceutical factory in an industrial zone?"

"Uh?"

Lin Sanqi and the others were a little stunned, including business veterans such as Lin Tianhua and Meng Peng.

"If we don't set up a pharmaceutical factory in an industrial zone, where else can we go?"

Qiu Minli already knew the problem, so he smiled and said, "Come on, follow me upstairs and you will know the answer."

Miaochuntang Chinese Medicine Clinic is located in a high-rise building. The first and second floors are where the clinic is located. As for what is upstairs, Lin Sanqi always thought it was a residential area or an office building.

As a result, when the elevator opened, he was really amazed.

The first floor in front of you is about 500 square meters, and it is a small pharmaceutical workshop. Many workers are busy at their respective posts, and the fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine fills the entire room.

Qiu Minli introduced:

"Boss Xiaolin, this is our own pharmaceutical factory of Miaochuntang.

This workshop mainly produces Quanlu Dabu Pills and Bazhen Pills. These two Chinese patent medicines are the flagship products of our Miaochuntang and are very well-known in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

In addition, we have a total of 5 such pharmaceutical workshops. The other workshops are all in this building, and they are all on the upper floors. Our Miaochuntang is not only a clinic, but also a pharmaceutical factory. How about it, Mr. Xiaolin, now you know where to set up the Chinese medicine factory, right? "(End of this chapter)
