A doctor who travels through two eras
Chapter 767 Councillor Gu as a Middleman
Hongyunlou is the most luxurious restaurant in the two districts of the New Territories. Although the New Territories are very backward as a whole, there are definitely fewer dens of money-making in the most backward places.
After all, the citizens of the New Territories are poor, but the officials and clan leaders are not poor, and they also have a strong desire to consume.
The dinner was held at Hongyun Building this time because the meeting between officials and businessmen from both sides needed to be low-key and confidential.
If it is in a big restaurant in Hong Kong Island, there are too many brokers and spies, and it is easy to be exposed.
As an official, you have to take advantage of others and build a good reputation. Plus, there are reporters everywhere, so choosing a country restaurant is the best choice.
Another thing is that Lin Sanqi's career focus is now in the New Territories, specifically the New Territories border area, so the local tyrants here must be taken care of.
The New Territories police force turned a blind eye, so Lingnan Hall treated the border between the mainland and Hong Kong as its own home and entered and exited freely.
This is also something that all smugglers in Hong Kong need to arrange in advance.
If the police force makes things difficult, although Lin Sanqi can still smuggle secretly, he will have a headache with daily spot checks and checkpoints along the way, not to mention that it will attract the attention of the Hong Kong Eagle Government, which is not worth the cost.
It's nothing but spending money, and Lin Baiyi is not short of money now.
After stopping the car, Uncle Lin went to arrange a private room and order food, while Lin Kucan and Lin Sanqi waited at the entrance of Hongyun Building.
After a while, a Crown car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. An old man got out of the car. Lin Kucan quickly greeted him:
"Brother Gu, you arrived early."
Councillor Gu was very satisfied with the humble attitude of the Lin family father and son who greeted him at the door, so he also smiled and said:
"I'm only 10 minutes early. I came to see if there's anything I need to prepare. Oh, Qizi is here too."
Lin Sanqi hurriedly greeted him: "Uncle Gu, I'm sorry to bother you this time."
Councillor Gu waved his hand and said, "No, we are from Huadu. We should help each other when we are out. Hasn't the foreigner arrived yet?"
Councillor Koo, whose full name is Koo On-wo, is currently a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong.
The Legislative Council has only 18 members in total, who are not elected, have a relatively high social status, and of course have a stronger symbolic significance.
Generally, the Hong Kong Eagle Government puts forward a proposal, and then the 18 people in the Legislative Council just raise their hands to act as a rubber stamp.
After all, Western society emphasizes procedural justice. The Legislative Council is equivalent to the "parliament" abroad, and the parliament represents public opinion.
Therefore, this procedure must be followed to show that the Hong Kong government’s decision is agreed upon by the people.
This is what the legend means to both do... and establish...
The funniest thing is that Western society can do this on its own, including the appointment system for the Hong Kong Governor and legislators, without taking public opinion into consideration at all.
As a result, after 1997, they actually said they wanted democracy and universal suffrage, otherwise this and that would happen.
The reason we suffer is that we are too honest.
During the negotiations, we should have said to the Eagle people:
Didn’t you ask us to ensure that Hong Kong’s system remains unchanged for 50 years?
That's fine. We respect your system and will continue with your policies. The governor and members of parliament will continue to be appointed by the central government and will be guaranteed to remain unchanged for 100 years. Isn't that enough?
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many disputes later. This shows that our diplomatic negotiators at that time were too inexperienced and couldn't grasp the key points.
Although Councillor Koo does not have any real power, he is at least a member of Hong Kong's upper class and has an official background, so the foreigners are willing to give him some face.
Lin Sanqi had met this eloquent congressman Gu once before, when the Lin family first arrived in Hong Kong and he visited him, but the visit was quite brief.
Councillor Gu is in the real estate business, and Lin Sanqi is absolutely sure that he can get Councillor Gu to stand on his side.
While waiting for someone at the entrance of the restaurant, Lin Sanqi asked in casual conversation:
"Dad, how did you get to know Uncle Gu? You were in Huadu back then, but Uncle Gu lived and worked in Hong Kong."
Councillor Gu smiled and answered for Lin Kucan:
"That was in 47. I went to Southeast Asia for business and contracted typhoid fever when I came back. Because I waited too long, when I arrived at the hospital in Hong Kong, they issued a critical illness notice and asked my family to prepare for my funeral.
It just so happened that your father was invited to come to Hong Kong to see a patient. The patient happened to be an old friend of mine, so I begged your father to help, and that’s how he saved my life. Qizi, your father is a contemporary miracle doctor, you can’t lose this medical skill.”
Lin Sanqi was surprised and said, "Wow, Dad, you are amazing. You have cured a disease that even Western medicine hospitals cannot treat." Lin Kucan said in a flattering tone:
"I dare not say anything else, but in the field of typhoid fever, I say I am the second best in Lingnan, and no one dares to claim to be the best. But Brother Gu, my youngest son has disappointed you. He prefers business and has little interest in medicine, so he did not inherit the family business."
Councillor Gu laughed and said:
"Your eldest son will inherit the medical skills, and your youngest son will make a fortune in business. Your Lin family will prosper in the near future.
I heard that the supply of sand and gravel in Hong Kong will be controlled by the Lin family in the future. I will ask Qizai to write a note when the time comes. Qizai, please don’t disrespect Uncle Gu.”
Lin Sanqi patted his chest:
"No, Uncle Gu, don't worry. You are my father's close friend, and you are my elder. I would never cheat you."
Councillor Gu gave a thumbs up:
"Okay, Qizi is very generous. From now on, both our families will make a living in Hong Kong. Let's cooperate more and don't let the Chaoshan people and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang people bully us."
Lin Sanqi thought that the Chaoshan people’s most powerful time had not yet arrived, and now Hong Kong was the last glorious moment for Jiangsu and Zhejiang capital.
While a few people were chatting, another Lincoln car stopped at the door of the restaurant and two foreigners got out of the car.
Now it was Lin Sanqi's turn to step forward:
"Professor Witte, Professor Anthony, welcome to Hong Kong again."
The people who came were Lin Sanqi's other two business partners, who were specially invited by Lin Sanqi.
Today, the Lin family invited the heads of the Hong Kong Department of Health and the New Territories North District Police Force to dinner. Since it is still a long way to 1997, the heads of these two departments are all foreigners.
Councillor Koo can act as a go-between, giving both parties the opportunity to sit down together for dinner and discuss matters.
But the business that Lin Sanqi was about to do involved the interests of the relevant departments of the Hong Kong Eagle Government, and the foreigners might not give face to Councillor Gu, so Lin Sanqi directly invited his two partners to come.
Professor Witte is a native of Eagle Country. He has a certain social status and political and business influence in Eagle Country. Now Eagle Country is the father of the Hong Kong Eagle Government and has a great reputation.
Professor Anthony is an American, a celebrity, and a senior intellectual.
The United States is the father of the Eagle Country, which is equivalent to the grandfather of the Hong Kong Eagle Government. Anthony's face is also very huge.
With these two grandfathers and father in charge, Lin Sanqi is very confident that he can take down the Hong Kong authorities.
This is the legendary "using barbarians to control barbarians".
Anyway, he had checked the information and found that the Independent Commission Against Corruption had not been established at that time. Whether it was the Hong Kong government or the police force, it could only be described as all officials were corrupt.
As long as something can be settled with money, it’s not a big deal now.
After the two white professors greeted Councillor Gu and the Lin family, Professor Witte asked anxiously:
"Lin, you told me on the phone that your drug production park has really been built? Don't lie to an old man like me. I sponsored you with tens of millions of pounds."
Lin Sanqi smiled and comforted:
"Please rest assured, Professor. You have frightened the officials of the Hong Kong government for me today. Tomorrow I will take you to visit the Baoan Drug Production Park. I believe you will be amazed at our Chinese efficiency."
Professor Anthony was also happy:
"Now the drug distribution company that Witte and I have established has been established, and the relationship between the drug supervision and health departments of the two countries has also been established. In your Chinese words, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
As soon as your drug arrives, we will immediately put it into clinical use for tuberculosis treatment and quickly promote it to the world through the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease. I am excited just thinking about it now. We are going to make a fortune."
Lin Sanqi burst into laughter after hearing this:
"That's right. Today is the last stage. As long as we get through to the Hong Kong authorities, our business will open immediately. By then, you will definitely see funds flowing into your accounts like a flood."
Hehehe~~~Two foreigners and one Chinese are laughing like three foxes.
Councillor Gu was secretly surprised standing nearby, wondering how on earth did the youngest son of the Lin family get in touch with this foreigner?
You have to know that in Hong Kong, white people are like emperors, which made Councillor Gu's evaluation of the Lin family even higher.
Five minutes later, two more cars stopped in front of the hotel.
Councillor Gu whispered, "Here it comes." (End of this chapter)
