Chapter 132 [So many demands]

In the morning, Lin Zhichao was having breakfast with his family when Tang Caiyun suddenly felt nauseous and ran towards the bathroom.

Lin Zhichao patted her back gently and said, "It seems that you are pregnant. I will take you to the hospital for a checkup later."

The two decided to have a second child in August, mainly because Tang Caiyun was in really good health and recovered quickly after giving birth. No one could tell that she had given birth, including Lin Zhichao, who sometimes had doubts.

With such a good body, if you hurry up and have three or four children, your life will be liberated. After all, there is Xu Caiying, and you can have three or four more children. In this way, the Lin family will have successors in Hong Kong's local businesses.

Since it was only the early 1950s, Lin Zhichao had enough time to plan the family business, so he did not seek too much for his children; if they were less, Lin Zhichao would have the energy to cultivate them.

"This pregnancy went very smoothly!" Tang Caiyun raised her head and said happily.

"It's not that the pregnancy is going smoothly! Even if you hit one out of ten shots, as long as the number of shots goes up, the chance of hitting is higher. This is called - fire suppression!" Lin Zhichao said jokingly.

When the two of them first had a child, they were still separated and could only be "sneaky", and naturally it took several months to conceive. Now it's different. They are husband and wife. They are more restrained and can only be four or five times a week. If they are not restrained,

That’s playing the flute every night.

Tang Caiyun suddenly smiled like a flower and said, "You're still talking about it! Don't you want to use this ability to marry a second wife?"

She didn't know Lin Zhichao's little tricks. Every time he deliberately described himself as "weak" and "defeated", it was just because this man was thinking about marrying again.

Having been in Hong Kong for several years, Tang Caiyun also understands that the rich people in Hong Kong, or the older generation of rich people, firmly support the laws in this area. There are overseas forces that put pressure on the Hong Kong government, but in the end, these rich and powerful people

Chinese, rejected.

Even the Hong Kong government was afraid of this force, so it was ignored.

If you want to change, you can only wait until this force becomes immobile and society becomes more enlightened.

"There's no way around it, I'm born with divine power! Tonight, call Caiying and let's celebrate!"

Tang Caiyun said something to Lin Zhichao, then happily took his arm and returned to the restaurant.

Coincidentally, Xu Caiying also came home wearing uniform.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Xu Caiying's face no longer looked melancholy, she had completely forgotten what happened some time ago, and said in her clear and melodious voice: "Of course I did, it was delicious. I feel like I'm going to gain weight again!"

She wanted to express that she had reconciled with her adoptive parents, so it was a bit exaggerated.

Lin Zhichao then joked: "So, you think my food is not delicious! Mom, Axia, you guys are going to be laid off!"

Xu Caiying immediately said hurriedly: "No, brother Zhichao, how can you talk nonsense!"

Wu Wenying was still heartbroken for her second daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "He is teasing you, don't care what he does!"

When Xu Caiying heard this, she immediately walked over to Wu Wenying and started flattering her with nice words.

Although she has an out-of-touch personality and is even a bit noisy, she is the joy of the whole family and they all dote on her.

Lin Zhichao continued to eat breakfast and said: "I really want to be laid off. I have already found three maids and plan to arrange them to clean the bungalow on Conduit Road first. It will be much easier for you in the future."

Even if it is a maid, Lin Zhichao personally selects her to ensure that her background is clean and her character is upright.

"So many at once, you have really become a big boss!" Xu Caiying came to Lin Zhichao again and said mischievously.

Lin Zhichao said: "It's not because I am the eldest man. Now I have Caiyun to take care of me. In the past, I had my mother and sister to take care of me. After all, I married two eldest ladies to take care of you!"

Everyone laughed, and Xu Caiying stood behind Lin Zhichao and squeezed his shoulders, as if to say - my wife is waiting for you now.

"I'm not a young lady. My surname is Xu, and my biological parents are small shop owners."

Lin Zhichao was stunned for a moment, then pulled Xu Caiying to his side and asked with concern: "What's wrong, do you still care about that? As long as you marry in, no matter what your previous status was, you will be the princess and eldest lady of our family from now on."

Xu Caiying was immediately impressed, and then explained: "No, it's just that they invited me to have a meal, and I felt a little awkward."

I see!

"Anyway, they are also your biological parents, so I will go with you."

"real?"

"Of course! It just so happens that I also have something to say!"

Xu Wangcheng and his wife should not be allowed to interfere too much with Xu Caiying's life. Since there is no nurturing grace, then the relationship between us can be just a taste. Lin Zhichao also plans to give Xu Wangcheng and his wife some help during this meeting, which can be regarded as a 'betrothal gift'.

Of course, the real betrothal gift still has to be given to the Tang couple.

Later, when Xu Caiying learned that Tang Caiyun was pregnant, she immediately got close to her and cared about her sister. She was truly loved by everyone in the family.

"The house on Conduit Road has been completed, and the main furniture has been placed. If you have time, go there and have a look. How you want to decorate your room and what you need to buy are all ready to start. Where will we spend the Spring Festival this year?

.”

The family members immediately burst into laughter.

You know, the garden house on Conduit Road has three floors in total, each floor has an area of ​​1,200 square feet, has a garden, is surrounded by green trees, and has a beautiful environment.

In the morning, Lin Zhichao sent Tang Caiyun to the hospital for a check-up. As expected, the nurse congratulated him that he was going to be a father again.

So, he happily sent Tang Caiyun home.

Later, he came to Tsuen Wan Cheung Kong Industrial in a very good mood.

Looking for Wang Liang, Lin Zhichao asked: "What is the price of plastic pellets in Hong Kong?"

Wang Liang immediately said: "2.2 Hong Kong dollars per pound, which has increased by more than 40% compared with the first half of the year. Moreover, many smart merchants have begun to stock up on goods, and the price is still rising."

Lin Zhichao immediately thought that the mighty army had entered the peninsula and would soon engage in a head-on battle. As a result, it would probably only take about a month to block Hong Kong's import trade.

"Well, let's allocate another 200,000 Hong Kong dollars to purchase plastic raw materials in the Hong Kong market."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Lin Zhichao doesn't exactly want to drive up the price of plastic pellets. He just wants to stock up on more raw materials. But if he goes to the United States to purchase goods now, he may be intercepted at the port, and he may be wasted by then.

So simply buy a large amount of raw materials in Hong Kong. Once the Americans block Hong Kong's import trade, the Yangtze River Plastic Factory will also have to raise the prices of all plastic products to take advantage of the opportunity to make greater profits.

As for whether he has squeezed other small plastic factories, only Lin Zhichao himself knows. What's more, even if he has this idea, it is reasonable. In business, this method of squeezing his opponents is considered mild.

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.

Of course, the ban on plastic raw materials in the United States does not mean that Hong Kong does not have channels to obtain plastic raw materials. Apart from the high price, it does not actually prevent plastic raw materials from completely entering Hong Kong.

At the same time, Lin Zhichao thought of a way. If raw materials need to be imported, the plastic factory can import finished plastic spoons, dishes, etc., because the finished products of the plastic factory will not be banned; and then melt these plastic products for production.

Products with higher value.

But no matter how it is processed, it is inevitable that the raw materials will be twice as expensive.

Fortunately, if the cost of one pound of plastic is three yuan, you can produce plastic products worth more than ten yuan, and there is still a profit.

As Yangtze Trade purchases large quantities of plastic raw materials in the market, some smart plastic manufacturers also join in the rush to buy raw materials, instantly raising the price of plastic pellets in Hong Kong.

At this time, the ones who are most worried are of course the small and medium-sized plastic factories. Their liquidity is not high, and they dare not buy all the plastic pellets. If they need money urgently or they fall into a trap, it will be troublesome.

Li Jiacheng of Cheung Woo Plastic Factory encountered such a problem. His working capital was only a few thousand Hong Kong dollars. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy more plastic raw materials, but he understood that it was still a drop in the bucket.

He sees clearly that the United States is bound to impose an import trade blockade on Hong Kong, and plastic raw materials may be included in the list. Because of this, many smart businessmen are hoarding plastic pellets.

"Hey, I'm really unlucky. This happened to me when I started my business!"

Thinking of that, Li Jiacheng finally began to complain about his luck.

"How great it would be if I had the strength of the Yangtze River Plastic Factory!"

"I can't sit still and wait for death. I should at least find some funds and purchase some raw materials. Otherwise, once Hong Kong cannot import raw materials, things will become troublesome."

Li Jiacheng finally decided to borrow money to buy some raw materials.

Uncle's house.

Li Jiacheng first contacted his cousin and aunt to build a relationship, and then asked his uncle for a loan.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Jingyan said seriously: "Your factory has just opened, and the rise in raw materials is only the first trouble. Although your analysis is very reasonable, the plastic will rise to 3 Hong Kong dollars per pound, but you should not deal with this kind of difficulty."

You have to bear more and think of solutions. This is called training you! If you need our help whenever you have such a small difficulty, then you might as well open this factory for me."

Li Jiacheng immediately lowered his head in shame, feeling huge grievance in his heart, especially his uncle's last words, which he deliberately emphasized.

He wanted to fight, saying that he was just borrowing money, and his factory made a slight profit every month, so he could repay it. He was borrowing money to buy raw materials and there was no risk.

But, he was afraid in front of his strict uncle!

"Dad" Zhuang Yueming protested.

She had already been secretly in love with her cousin. When her cousin was still a poor boy living in a banker's house, she tutored her cousin in English and helped her get familiar with the environment in Hong Kong.

Zhuang Jingyan gave her daughter a serious look, and Zhuang Yueming immediately did not dare to speak. She knew that her father did not like her relationship with her cousin.

For a time, the food in Li Jiacheng's mouth was bitter. Mother Li felt heartbroken for her son, but she could do nothing in front of her younger brother.

After all, when they came to Hong Kong, it was the younger brother who gave the family a place to live, otherwise they would have to live on the streets.

What's more, her brother said directly in front of her that jade cannot be used until it is polished.

After dinner, Li Jiacheng, his mother, and his younger brother could only return in embarrassment.
