A doctor who travels through two eras

Even the renowned lawyer, Lin Dezhi, was somewhat taken aback:
"Seven, how many gold bars do you have here? That's outrageous!"

Lin Sanqi calmly replied:
"There are about 3200 of them, each weighing about 312 grams. This is the large yellow croaker shown in Republican-era TV dramas."

This time I've brought out a whole ton of gold, which I'm preparing as a betrothal gift.

At that time, this gold will be displayed to everyone and carried to the wedding procession.

"Myna, you need to do a good job with security. There will be not only gold, but also whole boxes and boxes of cash."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaliang felt immense pressure:

"Seven, you said the dowry was 1.88 million RMB, which adds up to about 2 tons. Are you going to send it all in cash?"

Yin Lianyi covered her face, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Lin Sanqi glanced smugly at his girlfriend before laughing:
"Grandpa Yin set up many conditions so that I couldn't marry Ayi. Now I don't have much else, but I have the most money, so I'm going to use the most extravagant and domineering way, paving the way with gold and cash."

To put it bluntly, I just wanted to use this method to slap Grandpa Yin in the face, and also to show the Yin clan that when a woman from the Yin family marries into our Lin family, we treat her like a treasure. Let's see who dares to look down on my wife from now on. Hmph.

Fourth Uncle Lin Benzai looked at the gold in front of him and shook his head, saying:

"It's certainly domineering, but it's not refined enough, Seven. You've really shown off your wealth this time."

Lin Sanqi wanted to tell this fourth uncle that he had swindled 5 million yuan from Grandpa Yin, and that all the wedding expenses were actually sponsored by the Yin family.

However, with so many people around, and so many people talking, if word got out, Grandpa Yin might even come knocking on their door, so Lin Sanqi held back and didn't say anything.

"Fourth Uncle, it's alright. I've transferred all the assets that needed to be transferred, and I've paid every penny of the taxes that were due. Unless someone tries to frame me or fabricate charges, they can check my accounts and my taxes, and I'll find that I'm completely clean."

At this moment, the eldest brother, Lin Yangping, also hurriedly came over:
"I'm sorry, Fourth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, Sixteenth Uncle, I had a meeting and I'm late."

Lin Yangping is now the director of the Food and Drug Administration, and with Lin Sanqi spending hundreds of billions on procurement, the Lin family's influence is growing.

Lin Sanqi had already received hints that Lin Yangping would be promoted after the New Year, making him the most influential member of the Lin family in official circles.

In the eyes of the elderly, the weight of a deputy mayor far exceeds that of Lin Sanqi, a billionaire. Chinese people will always have an obsession with becoming officials and advancing in the system.

After greeting his peers present, Lin Yangping asked:

"What did you just say about a tax audit and accounting check?"

Lin Sanqi explained with a smile, "My fourth uncle is worried that I will be too high-profile when I get married, carrying tons of gold and cash around, which will make me look rich."

Lin Yangping nodded and said, "It is indeed showing off wealth."

"However, it's not a big problem. Don't forget that Lingnan Group's total tax revenue this year exceeds 10 billion."

Do you know what this means? In terms of tax payment ranking, Lingnan Group has reached 97th among private enterprises nationwide. And within Huadu City, it is also among the top 10.

You might not have a good grasp of this data, so let me put it this way: In 2015, the Chaozhou region under Dongguang had a total local public fiscal revenue of only 47 billion yuan, while Lingnan Group's tax revenue was 130 billion yuan.

Such a star company is highly sought after by leaders.

As long as Qi Zai doesn't do anything reckless, or face pressure from above, Lingnan Group will definitely be a company protected by Huadu and even Guangdong Province.

Although Lin Sanqi is a small business owner in this timeline, he is also someone who can sit at the table and eat in another timeline.

He understood that if a company was being protected by the Guangdong Provincial Government, it could probably rest easy.

Don't forget what level the leader of Dongguang Province is. There are only about ten people in higher positions than him, and almost no one can afford to offend him.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi was pleased, and then asked again:

"Brother, I asked you to personally invite my boss to my wedding banquet, how's that going?"

Grandpa Lin had instructed that the local official must be invited to the wedding; this was not only for protection but also a matter of bringing honor to the family. Lin Pingyang shook his head and smiled.
"The top leader definitely won't attend an entrepreneur's wedding; forget about it. However, the deputy leader and the top leader's secretary will be there. By the way, have you contacted the other leaders yet?"

Lin Sanqi's wedding has now evolved into a showcase of the Lin clan's power, with the entire Lin family mobilized.

Lin Sanqi thought for a moment and said:

"My connections are mainly with the military. Currently, the chairmen of Shaanxi Aircraft Industry Group, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, and China North Industries Group Corporation will all be coming in person. In addition, they have also arranged for the headquarters leaders in charge of equipment to come along as well."

In addition, Section Chief Song from the special department will also be coming. His identity is rather special and is usually not publicly announced, so he will definitely be sitting quietly in a corner. But those who are paying attention will definitely notice.

As for business associates, there are quite a few, since those entrepreneurs all want to buy wild ginseng or other medicinal herbs from our Lingnan Hall, so they will definitely give me face.

What is certain is that hundreds of business tycoons will attend my wedding, a large portion of whom are on the Forbes list of those who "slaughter the rich and poor." Representatives will also be coming from Hong Kong.

Lin Pingyang assessed the situation in his mind and thought that with so many powerful and wealthy people coming, the scale and level of the event were sufficient.

At this moment, Lin Bei, the manager of the African branch, also reported:

"Brother, the leaders from Madagascar that you asked me to invite are also coming. If nothing unexpected happens, their general manager will be coming in person."

Lin Yangping chuckled upon hearing this:

"Wow, Madagascar is really giving us face. They sent their second-in-command directly. That's a huge favor."

Lin Bei curled his lip and said:

"Face is nothing compared to money. General Manager Lakutumaharu asked for $200 million right off the bat, and also wanted us to cover round-trip airfare and accommodation. That's more expensive than hiring a Hollywood star."

Lin Pingyang chuckled and patted his cousin on the shoulder, saying:
"It's worth it to send a general manager from a foreign country for 200 million. If he comes, the leaders of our foreign affairs departments will also have to come. This will bring honor to the Lin family. No amount of money can buy back face."

Furthermore, by cultivating a good relationship with General Manager Lakutumaharu, Lingnan Group can conduct future transactions involving sensitive materials entirely under an official name, thus eliminating the need for approval and preventing deliberate obstruction.

Lin Sanqi nodded and said:
"Madagascar is very important to our Lingnan Group. With this springboard, we can do more and bigger business, and the funds don't have to be transferred to China. So we must maintain a good relationship with both sides."

Lin Yangping then looked at Yin Lianyi.

As the eldest brother, he was appointed by Grandpa Lin as the chief coordinator of the wedding, so he had to be meticulous in every aspect:

"Ayi, have you finished all the preparations at your home?"

Yin Lianyi quickly and respectfully replied:
"Brother, our family is all ready. We'll have 500 tables for the wedding banquet. My dad plans to invite the whole village to the celebration."

The Yin family also cares about their reputation, and at least in terms of the number of banquets, they are on par with the Lin family.

This matter was beyond the control of Yin Shengrong, the father-in-law. It involved the face of the entire village and clan. Even as the clan head, Grandpa Yin had to hold a grand event so as not to be overshadowed by Shilou Village.

Lin Sanqi then raised a difficult question:
“Brother, there’s a rather troublesome problem right now. Both of our families live in urban villages, and the winding, narrow paths in these villages make it difficult for a sedan chair that can carry 36 people to get in.”

Lin Yangping smiled and said:
“I’ve already thought of a solution. The whole village will be covered with red carpets. You will need to walk out on your own to the nearest Huangpu Avenue, then get into a 36-person sedan chair with an honor guard leading the way to Shilou Village.”

Lin Sanqi said with some concern:

“Brother, the entire wedding procession has at least a thousand people. It’s a huge, long procession. It’ll probably block Huangpu Avenue. If this gets posted online, the Lin family will be cursed to death.”

Lin Yangping burst into laughter upon hearing this:
"For your wedding, we will apply to temporarily close half of Huangpu Avenue, citing the traditional folk activities of Huadu during the Spring Festival. Reporters from various media outlets will come to interview, and even experts from the Palace Museum will come."

Traffic police will be on-site to direct traffic. We'll exit from Huangpu Avenue and then circle around Tianhe East Road, which will take no more than two hours. Plus, traffic volume won't be high on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so there shouldn't be any congestion.

"Your wedding must follow ancient traditions while also showcasing the unique characteristics of our Flower City. It will be filmed as a documentary and broadcast nationwide, making it an excellent promotional piece for the cultural and tourism departments."

Lin Sanqi gave a thumbs up:

"Brother, you're truly brilliant. You know how to achieve your goals indirectly and find solutions. You easily resolved such a huge problem." (End of Chapter)
