Reborn in Hong Kong, my cousin is Crippled Ho

Chapter 107 Business is going well, but your dad has disappeared.

The Hong Kong Teochew Eight Counties Chamber of Commerce (the predecessor of the current Hong Kong Teochew Chamber of Commerce) has a membership system that is divided into five levels.

President, Vice-Chairman, Standing Director, Director, and Ordinary Business Member.

Note: The above is the correct term for vice director, not vice president.

The system of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce originated from the board of directors and council system commonly used by Chinese merchants in Jiangnan and Southeast Asia during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

Under this system, the sovereignty of the chamber of commerce rests with all its directors.

The president is merely the chief representative elected by the board members. The vice-president is the leader of the board members, representing everyone to check and balance the president, and is not the president's deputy!

In the 1970s and 80s, the local chamber of commerce gradually adopted Western-style association structures, added vice presidents, abolished the position of vice director, and changed the position of executive director to executive council member.

At that time, the little fairness left was... well, you know.

Lin Jingtang, the founder of Qiaoxin Bank, is the executive director of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce and the permanent advisor of the Overseas Chinese Remittance Association.

He told Lin Shaochao that the Lin family was second-rate, and that Qiaoxin's transformation had failed, causing them to fall to third-rate status. This was a habitual self-deprecation among the old Chaozhou businessmen.

In fact, Lam King Tong is a top-tier figure among Hong Kong's Chinese businessmen. His business was based on a bank, which added an extra layer of wealth to his image.

Above Lin Jingtang are Liao Chuangxing and the Hang Seng Group and their predecessors.

Sure enough, Lin Yuanshan had seen Lin Shaochao during the day, and the latter was crying so hard that the villain Yuan almost wet himself.

To his surprise, he received a call from Brother Chao that evening.

Once the matter is settled, you can notify Han Sen to pack his things.

The transfer order will be issued within three days at the latest.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuanshan looked up at Tie Tou and Xiao Tu: "If you ever run into Lin Shaochao in the future, be careful of him."

Don't let his big, handsome face fool you; he's actually incredibly cunning.

The little rabbit said "oh" and lowered its head to continue practicing its calligraphy.

Seeing Lin Yuanshan walk to the window to smoke, Tie Tou scratched his head and exclaimed, "Young Master Yuan, did he trick you?"

"Shut up!" Lin Yuanshan glared at Tie Tou. "We're all smart people. How can a sparring match between smart people be called playing around? At most, it's just a waste of some energy."

At the same time, at 9 Barker Road, Victoria Peak.

-

This is a private mansion covering more than 10,000 square feet, consisting of a two-story European-style villa and an independent Chinese-style side hall.

Lin Shaochao, who had previously described Lin Yuanshan as cunning upon their first meeting, has now received his just deserts tonight.

Lin Yuanshan, who had labeled him cunning from afar, suddenly sneezed several times.

Lin Jingtang put down the newspaper in his hand and said softly, "Have you caught a cold? Would you like me to ask the kitchen to make you some ginger water?"

Lin Shaochao shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and rubbed his nose as he said, "Dad, why do you think Lin Yuanshan went to such great lengths to get Han Sen into the Kowloon City Police Station?"

Han Sen is from Dongguan. Logically speaking, Lin Yuanshan should have chosen the Chaozhou-origin Chinese detective.

"Oh~ So according to your idea, Young Master Lin, Qiaoxin can only do business with people from Chaozhou, and all other customers should be blocked at the door, or simply driven away?" Lin Jingtang scoffed, stood up and took two steps, assuming a Tai Chi stance.

Lin Shaochao was speechless for a moment, then retorted indignantly, "Father, these are two different things, how can you conflate them?"

"It's the same thing!"

We're all in business, and we're optimistic about Lin Yuanshan and willing to bet on him.

Lin Yuanshan is optimistic about Han Sen and is willing to bet on him. Lin Jingtang's punches are powerful and his 83-style Tai Chi has a certain charm of softness with hidden strength, which is completely inconsistent with the rumored image of him recuperating from illness: "Place of origin is a plus, not a red line."

Seeing his son deep in thought, Lin Jingtang said while practicing his boxing, "No wonder Old Chen said you were born too smoothly and lacked experience. When you're dealing with people and planning things, you always lack that bit of flexibility!"

Do you know why I moved from my old house on MacLehose Road in Mid-Levels to 9 Barker Road at the end of last year?

"Because the owners here are either tycoons of foreign firms or high-ranking officials in the Hong Kong government." Lin Shaochao seemed to understand something and replied softly, "Father, you had a premonition that the banks would eventually have to transform into commercial banks. So, you want to turn the tables?"

Lin Jingtang's eyes finally showed a hint of relief. He smiled without saying a word, focusing only on practicing his boxing.

While Lin Jingtang was giving his son some pointers, Lin Yuanshan had Tie Tou pull him along and rushed back to Sham Shui Po Pier overnight.

Because Biandanwei is back!

About ten minutes ago, a henchman who often followed Shen Da Hui ran to Yuanzhou Street and brought this good news.

Biandanwei set sail on the evening of October 28th, as promised to Lin Yuanshan before departure. If all goes well, a round trip to Zhanglin will take at least a day and a half.

It's the evening of November 1st now, which means it's been exactly three days.

Lin Yuanshan appeared unconcerned, but he was actually quite worried about it.

Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have said those things to Lin Shaochao yesterday at the Qiaoxin Bank.

The reason is that Biandanwei did not return on time.

In case something happens to the people on this ship.

The three thousand doses of penicillin that were originally expected to generate profits naturally fizzled out.

He, who claims to be the biggest beneficiary of their gang's finances, is even throwing money out to appease people.

The substandard plastic flowers brought in a steady income, but Lin Yuanshan had too many expenses recently.

Biandanwei's failed voyage will affect many of his subsequent plans.

As they approached the dock, Lin Yuanshan instructed Tie Tou to remove the bicycle bell.

At this time, anyone who dares to come to the temporary unloading area of ​​Sham Shui Po Pier must have a powerful background and influence.

Experienced people would usually choose to give way to such encounters to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

However, Lin Yuanshan is naturally a person who prefers to keep a low profile.

In Warehouse C, Shen Da Hui carried a machete, surrounded by seven or eight elite soldiers, each armed with weapons, who stood guard at the warehouse entrance.

Upon seeing Tie Tou in the distance, Shen Da Hui turned and walked into the warehouse.

Soon, Biandanwei led him out and welcomed Lin Yuanshan inside.

"Awei, is everything alright?" Lin Yuanshan asked as he sat down in the office. "You were gone for three days, twice as long as expected. I was worried something might have happened."

Biandanwei scratched his head, looking a little uncomfortable: "I'm sorry to have worried you, Mr. Lin. If business goes smoothly, then—"

""

"But what?" Lin Yuanshan frowned slightly.

Biandanwei lowered his head to avoid his own light and took out a letter from his pocket: "Mr. Lin, our boat will arrive at Beixikou at 4 pm the next day."

I took two brothers who were good swimmers and swam ashore to find your village. However, the address you wrote in your letter was deserted.

At that moment, I felt utterly disheartened.

Later, I realized that if I just turned back, it would not only be a waste of time and effort, but I also wouldn't be able to give you an explanation about your father's whereabouts.

So, I gritted my teeth and went straight to your village to ask an audience with your clan chief, Lin Zonglan.
