A doctor who travels through two eras

Today, when we came to see the house, the entire Lin family came, along with security personnel; a total of 10 cars drove up.

The car continued uphill along the mountain road, and after turning a corner, we found a small square with a fountain in front of us.

After the Lin family members all got off the car, Uncle Lin Wu was already sighing:

"Wow, the air here is so fresh, and the trees around are lush and green. It's definitely a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city."

Three or four real estate agents were already waiting in the small square. When they saw the Lin family coming down, they quickly came over, bowing and scraping.

"Dr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and all the Mr. Lins."

Lin Sanqi smiled at one of the real estate agents:
"Manager Xu, I've brought my whole family with me today. If everyone is satisfied, I can sign the contract to buy the house right away."

Manager Xu smiled even more obsequiously, knowing that the elderly man surrounded by the crowd definitely had the final say, so he introduced Lin Kushen and Jin Caifeng:

"Dr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and several Mr. Lins, my surname is Xu, you can call me Xiao Xu. The villa complex in front of you is called 'Baishan Villas', and there are a total of 8 villas."

The villa complex is enclosed by two walls. The first large wall starts from the foot of the mountain and extends all the way to the meteorological observatory, occupying half of the mountain.

The second small wall surrounds these eight villas, preventing criminals and insects from crawling in. The security is absolutely top-notch.

Mount Kingsbury, though called a mountain, is actually just a small hill, less than 100 meters above sea level.

There are many small hills like Kowloon. The Hey Society and Anle headquarters, which were destroyed by Lin Sanqi with drones, were actually located on these small hills.

Looking at the several villas in the style of the Republic of China era in front of him, Lin Kushen murmured to himself:
"I remember coming to this villa before. I treated the owner here before Liberation. His name was, what was it again?"

Manager Xu clapped his hands lightly with an exaggerated expression, flatteringly saying:
"Dr. Lin has a good memory. This Baishan Villa originally belonged to Mr. Wang Peicheng. In 1940, he leased half of Jingshi Baishan and built these eight villas, which were originally intended to be one for each of his eight wives."

Later, due to the defeat of the Kuomintang, the Wang family could no longer continue their business in China.

Especially after Mr. Wang passed away in Taiwan last year, because they had committed many misdeeds in China and were afraid of being held accountable, the whole family immigrated to the United States, and now the villa is empty.

However, the Wang family made it clear beforehand that if these eight villas were to be sold, they should be sold all at once, not separately, because they were afraid that if they were sold separately, they wouldn't be able to get the money back.

Therefore, Dr. Lin and Mrs. Lin, if you are interested in this Baishan Villa, there is still considerable room for negotiation; it's a very good deal. Just look at the surrounding environment…”

Pan Ye wasn't very familiar with Hong Kong's famous figures, so he quietly asked:

"Honey, who is this Wang Peicheng? Is he famous?"

Lin Sanqi said softly:
"Wang Peicheng's ancestral home is Zhejiang Shengxian County. He is Guangtou's maternal cousin. He has been helping Guangtou with foreign trade transshipment business in Hong Kong. He essentially monopolized a large part of the foreign trade business during the Republic of China period. In fact, he was Guangtou's front man."

So this guy is rich, extremely rich. Even if most of it went to the bald man, the rest would still be enough for him to become incredibly wealthy. He's had seven concubines alone, and this villa in Baishan is his home in Hong Kong.

Manager Xu was still enthusiastically introducing the product:
"Dr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, the place in the center of this square is the original main villa of the Wang family. It has three floors above ground and one floor below ground, with a building area of ​​1500 square meters."

Because the villa's overall design was modeled after the Meiling Palace in Nanjing, it was also known as the "Little Meiling Palace." It is said that it was originally prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek, and the interior design was extremely luxurious.

Seven small villas surround the main building on both sides, resembling the Big Dipper when viewed from the sky. Although the villas are smaller than the main building, they still have a floor area of ​​800 square meters, which is more than enough to accommodate a family.

Moreover, Lingnan Hospital is located at the foot of the mountain, only a five or six-minute drive away. Even for those who want to exercise, walking to and from get off work takes only a little over half an hour, which is very convenient.

Lin Kushen glanced at the villa, then looked back at the Lingnan Hospital building faintly visible behind the woods, and smiled:
"It's really good, what do you all think?"

Second Sister-in-law Pei Xuehua's eyes lit up when she saw it, but after looking around, she asked weakly:

"This villa is nice, but it's too remote. If it takes an hour to walk here just to buy a bag of salt, that's too inconvenient."

Manager Xu and the other agents all forced a smile, but dared not speak.

Jin Caifeng rolled her eyes at her second daughter-in-law without saying a word, thinking to herself that she was just a shameful person from a poor family.

In crucial moments, her husband proved to be reliable. Du Zhong, after all, came from a wealthy family, and at this time explained to his wife:
“If we can live in a big villa like this in the future, the servants will take care of the general shopping. There’s no reason for the master to carry a basket of vegetables to the market himself.”

Pei Xuehua became anxious upon hearing this:

"If we give the money for groceries to someone else, won't they embezzle it all? That won't do."

The entire Lin family turned to look at their second daughter-in-law, some with disdain, others with mockery, while the younger generation seemed somewhat at a loss. Lin Kushen, not wanting to embarrass his second daughter-in-law, helped to defuse the situation:

"Snowflake is right. There are indeed servants who are dishonest. They can't keep their mouths shut or control their hands, which is a troublesome thing for the master's family."

Seven, go back to Huadu and see if the housekeepers, drivers, and female workers who worked for us back then are still around. Oh, and also your nanny, Sister Fang Juan, from when you were little.

"If they are still alive and in good health, let them come to Hong Kong; we will continue to employ them. If their health deteriorates and they wish to leave, the Lin family will be responsible for their care in their old age and their funeral arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuehua nodded repeatedly:

"See, Dad agrees with me too."

Manager Xu was a shrewd person. As soon as he heard the Lin family's conversation, he immediately realized that Mr. and Mrs. Lin had their eyes on the Baishan Villa.

"Dr. Lin, do you think we can sit down and discuss this deal?"

Important decisions should be made by the family head, and even if Lin Sanqi is paying for it, he won't interfere.

Lin Kushen looked at the villa in front of him and smiled, "No rush, let's go in and take a look. After all, it's an old house that's over 20 years old."

Manager Xu nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it was my oversight. Dr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and the other Mr. Lins, please come in."

The eight villas weren't particularly large or small, and even though they were grouped together, it still took half a day to walk around them.

After the tour, the Lin family members all expressed their satisfaction.

Lin Kushen and Jin Caifeng were worldly-wise and felt that the villa, whether in terms of its exterior or interior decoration, was just so-so. Its advantage was that it was quiet and close to their own hospital.

The truly wealthy and powerful upper class rarely lived in Kowloon at this time; they all moved to Hong Kong Island.

In the 1960s, Kowloon was a suburb of the city, and its level of prosperity was completely different from that of Hong Kong Island.

However, Lin Sanqi, the time traveler, knew that Kowloon would also be extremely prosperous decades later, and it would be no exaggeration to say that every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.

Such a good thing, where one family monopolizes half a mountain, will never happen again.

Even if such a thing existed, the price it would fetch would be astronomical.

Decades later, Kings Park Villas became a renowned luxury residential area, truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Finally, everyone sat together in the Little Meiling Palace for the final negotiations.

"Dr. Lin, Mr. Lin, the Wang family previously offered 15 million for this villa area. They didn't just buy eight villas, but also half of Jingbai Mountain, which has a forest area of ​​more than 50,000 square meters, all of which are private property."

To be honest, the price of 1500 million is too high for wealthy people who don't value the location. Ordinary people can't afford it, so it's been listed for a year without a sale, and the house is just depreciating.

Lin Sanqi was calculating in his mind:

In the early 1960s, the average house price in Kowloon was only 300 yuan per square meter. Even the better villas were expensive, but they were at most 600 yuan per square meter.

With eight villas and a total building area of ​​approximately 9,000 square meters, 15 million is indeed an overpayment.

However, if you include the 5 square meters of mountainous land in Kings Park, then it is actually very cost-effective.

Because Hong Kong recognizes private property, it's like buying half a hilltop, which can be passed down from generation to generation, with permanent ownership, forever belonging to the Lin family.

Lin Sanqi is not short of money, but he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

Seeing the future potential of this Baishan villa is one thing, but the current market price is another. Children from urban villages are meticulous in everything they do.

"Manager Xu, we're old friends. I asked you to arrange the acquisition of shops in Hong Kong a few months ago. So just give me a heads-up on what the Wang family's bottom line is. Don't worry, I won't let anyone here today suffer a loss."

Manager Xu blinked and looked at his other subordinates.

The Wang family certainly had a bottom line, but Hong Kong is a jungle society. If he directly revealed the client's bottom line, his subordinates might report it to their superiors so they could get promoted.

Lin Sanqi understood in a second; real estate agents are all money-grubbing and have no bottom line. If they couldn't be bribed, it was probably because he didn't have enough money. (End of Chapter)
