A doctor who travels through two eras

Lin Sanqi took out several red envelopes from his briefcase and stuffed them into the hands of several intermediaries in front of everyone.

"Let's be friends. I'll give each of you a red envelope containing 10,000 yuan. I hope you can keep this a secret."

Several ordinary employees of the real estate agency were excited when they heard this. They knew that when the Baishan Villa was sold, they, as assistants, could only get a commission of 2,000 yuan at most, while the company and the manager would take the lion's share.

Now that I've got a 10,000 yuan red envelope, I don't care how you leak the secret.

So they all nodded and bowed, saying, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we know what to do."

Manager Xu breathed a sigh of relief, cursing under his breath that the capitalist was tempting people all day long, forcing him to cross the line of professional ethics once again.

But now that the money is in place, let's postpone the red line of principles for now.

A characteristic of Chinese people is that they are very flexible in their principles.

"Mr. Lin, then I won't lie to you. The Wang family initially agreed with our company that the minimum amount would be 1200 million, and for every 100 million increase, our company would receive a 2 commission. As far as I know, that should indeed be their bottom line."

Lin Sanqi laughed: "See, this saves us the trouble of haggling. Let's make it 1200 million. Manager Xu, draft the contract and sign it now."

Manager Xu was secretly pleased with himself. In fact, the Wang family's bottom line was 1000 million, and for every 100 million increase, the salesperson would receive a commission of 5.

And just by using his silver tongue to exploit an information gap, he easily pocketed 10 yuan, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Fighting with intermediaries is pointless; you'll always make a mistake in buying, never in selling.

"Mr. Lin, shall we draft the contract now? Are you paying by loan or in full?"

Lin Sanqi now has hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a hidden tycoon among Hong Kong's Chinese-owned businesses. In any case, Li Huanggua and Huo Daheng are definitely not as rich as him now.

"Let's pay in full. Taking out a loan is too much trouble, and we're in a hurry to move."

Real estate agents prefer buyers who pay in full, as it makes both parties happy.

Among the Lin family members, only Lin Kushen and Jin Caifeng remained relatively calm, as they had experienced a life of wealth and luxury.

As for the other members of the Lin family, they all had their mouths agape, their faces filled with excitement and their hearts pounding with anticipation.

Back then, before the two young masters, Lin Gancao and Lin Duzhong, could even enjoy their good fortune, their entire families were wiped out and sent to the cold city of Beiping, where they ate coarse food for more than ten years.

Uncle Lin Wu and Uncle Lin Liu also suffered greatly in their hometown of Huadu because of their family background; otherwise, they would not have fled to Hong Kong.

So apart from the older generation like Lin Kushen, the others really didn't enjoy many good days.

Even after arriving in Hong Kong, I had to help with the business of the clinic and pharmacy every day, and I lived in an old house on Temple Street, where the conditions were not very good.

Living in a 60-square-meter apartment and living in a villa of over 1,000 square meters represent two completely different concepts in terms of quality of life.

After signing the contract, Manager Xu was in a great mood, but he still cautiously asked:
"Dr. Lin, whose name should be listed as the head of household?"

Without hesitation, Lin Kushen said, "Let's write about Lin Sanqi. He paid for it, and the ownership of the house and land should rightfully belong to him."

When the other members of the Lin family heard this, although they could understand, they felt somewhat uncomfortable. In this way, they were "renting" the house and could no longer consider it their own home.

Lin Sanqi unexpectedly stopped him, saying:

"Dad, listen to me this time. Among these eight villas, eldest brother, second brother, fifth uncle, and sixth uncle, you can choose any one. The name will be filled in as the homeowner."

Also, please give my father-in-law's family another set of clothes, and put them in his name. My father-in-law couldn't come today, but I'll let him know later.

A residence is different from a company. Company matters should be kept separate from private matters, but a residence is a home, a private territory.

Whether it's me, my eldest and second eldest brothers, my fifth and sixth uncles, or my father-in-law's family, we all want to live in our own homes, not be dependent on others.

Lin Sanqi's words moved dozens of people from the four families: Lin Gancao, Lin Duzhong, Uncle Lin Wu, and Uncle Lin Liu.

"Seven, this, this is too much trouble!"

"This is the house you bought, how can you put our names on it?"

Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said:

“I understand what Dad means. He thinks that since we brothers have already divided the family property, we should clearly distinguish between public and private property so as not to leave any hidden dangers for the family and to prevent brothers from fighting each other and descendants from turning against each other in the future.”

But I want to tell everyone that we Lin family members are people who have ventured out into the world in Hong Kong. We are all alone and have no one to rely on, so we must not let our hearts be scattered.

Our only option is to stick together and unite to withstand the storms of Hong Kong and avoid capsizing. Now that we've opened a clinic, we're slowly becoming wealthier, and we'll only get wealthier in the future.

We don't care what our descendants think in the future. They'd probably prefer to escape their parents' control and live independently, and might not even be interested in the Baishan Villa.

But my brothers and I, including our fifth and sixth uncles, will always stay together. We'll have companionship in our old age; otherwise, what's the point of living in an empty villa?

Lin Kushen chuckled with satisfaction.

Jin Caifeng, wiping away tears, said excitedly, "My Qizai has grown up, he's such a good boy..."

As parents, even though they say that their children and grandchildren should live their own lives, what elderly person doesn't want to be surrounded by their children and grandchildren and enjoy family happiness?

After signing the transfer agreement for Baishan Villa, the Lin family members, like happy little birds, went off to find their own villas.

As for the Little Meiling Palace, everyone knows it definitely belongs to Lin Sanqi. Anyone who tries to claim it would be extremely low in emotional intelligence.

Jin Caifeng, along with Pan Ye and her granddaughter, happily went to choose a villa for the Pan family.

Only Lin Kushen, Uncle Lin Liu, Lin Sanqi, Manager Xu, and a few other real estate agents remained in the living room.

Lin Sanqi asked, "Manager Xu, how's it going with the acquisition of the shops I entrusted to you? My hospital has already opened, and the pharmacies will be opening soon too."

Lin Sanqi's model is to use Lingnan Hospital as the leading institution to make the Lin family's secret medicine and antibacterial drugs famous.

However, a hospital is limited in size and the number of outpatient visits is restricted, so even if drug sales are high, they can't go very far. Therefore, other distribution channels are needed.

Lin Sanqi's solution was to open "Lingnan Pharmacy" all over Hong Kong, as pharmacies would be the main force in drug sales in the future.

After Lingnan Pharmacy has conquered the entire Hong Kong market, it will expand into Southeast Asia, and finally wait for the reform and opening up of the mainland to conquer the entire mainland market.

A chain hospital + chain pharmacy model would create a behemoth enterprise.

By controlling the entire process from drug production to sales, and eliminating middlemen who take a cut, profits can be significantly higher.

Even if pharmaceuticals don't make money, the commercial properties purchased in the 1960s have huge appreciation potential. Just by speculating on real estate, one could become the richest person in the future.

This is also a sustainable development path that Lin Sanqi has chosen for the Lin family.

Even if Lin Sanqi can no longer travel through time one day, the Lin family will still have their own business that can be passed down from generation to generation.

The key point is that this industry is the Lin family's private property, and it cannot be taken away by a few people in China with just a word.

Once the Lin family becomes one of the four major families in Hong Kong, they will forever be the target of domestic united front efforts to win them over, rather than being used as a pawn to be discarded at will.

Upon hearing this, Manager Xu quickly pulled out a map of Hong Kong, which was marked with many small red dots.

"Mr. Lin, rest assured, I, Xu, have been doing my best to find a prime shop for you."

Look, this is Hong Kong Island, this is Kowloon, and uh, we're not considering the New Territories for now.

On Hong Kong Island, I selected prime shops in various commercial districts including Admiralty, Central, Sheung Wan, Sai Ying Pun, Shek Tong Tsui, Causeway Bay, North Point, Quarry Bay, Chai Wan, and Siu Sai Wan.

According to Mr. Lin, the location should be good, the area should be large, and it would be best if it could support the front shop and back warehouse model. So I selected a total of 30 shops on Hong Kong Island.

In addition, I have a total of 15 shops in the five districts of Kowloon, located in Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Wong Tai Sin, Ngau Chi Wan, Kowloon Tong, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom and other places.

Among them, a 10-story office building on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui is for sale. Lingnan Pharmacy will use this location as its flagship store, with the pharmacy on the ground floor and the headquarters offices upstairs.

Lin Sanqi thought to himself, "These place names all sound so familiar. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were going to open a pharmacy, but if you didn't, you'd think it was some kind of gang fight over territory."

Just as Lin Sanqi's mind was wandering, Manager Xu called him a few times:

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin? What do you think of these locations?"

Lin Sanyi gave a thumbs up:

"Manager Xu, I'm very satisfied with these locations. You've chosen areas with convenient transportation and high population density. How about this, Uncle Liu, why don't you go and take a look at the shops yourself, and we'll open the pharmacy as soon as possible?"

Uncle Lam originally only managed the Lai Chi Kok Pharmaceutical Factory. Later, Uncle Lam went to manage the sand and gravel and truck logistics business, and the expansion of the pharmacy was also handed over to Uncle Lam.

As for Lin Duzhong, the original person in charge of the pharmacy, he was assigned to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Lingnan Hospital to take charge of the treatment department, since he was an acupuncturist and his expertise was relevant.

Uncle Lin nodded: "Okay, I'll get it done as soon as possible." (End of Chapter)
