Hong Kong mahjong king "Uncle Chicken" Lin Guoqiang's legendary life
Today, the editor will tell you about a legendary figure in Hong Kong - "Uncle Chicken" Lin Guoqiang. For many Hong Kong people, this name not only means the memory of an era, but also a testimony of a family writing a glorious story from scratch.
The legend passed away last month at the age of 105! It's not easy to talk about this mahjong king, and his life experience is enough to shoot a few TV series. Let's talk about the story of this legendary figure, and see how this mahjong king has grown from the son of an ordinary grocery store owner to an entrepreneur with hundreds of millions of assets?
The origin of the Lin family mahjong parlor
Speaking of this Lin family mahjong parlor, it started with "Ji Ji Shiduo". Lin Guoqiang's father, Lin Kun, had a difficult life in his early years, and in 1930 he opened a small grocery store in Hong Kong. One night Lin Kun had a dream, dreaming that the sound of chickens woke him up, but he didn't expect to be lucky that day, "medium-size", and magically had the capital to open a store, named "Ji Ji Shiduo".
Maybe it's really the auspiciousness brought by the rooster in the dream, and the name "Rooster Jishiduo" is rustic but quite auspicious. The small shop started by selling sugar water, and slowly developed into a mahjong parlor.
In 1956, the Lin family got a legal business license, and the mahjong parlor was officially launched, and the business became bigger and bigger.
Lin Guoqiang's childhood and youth
Lin Guoqiang grew up in a mahjong parlor when he was a child, although his family opened a mahjong parlor, he didn't like to play mahjong very much. As a young man, he was a hot-blooded young man who was admitted to the Jockey Club and became a jockey.
In his 18-year jockey career, Lin Guoqiang has made 1,054 appearances and broke two competition records, and his experience is legendary! However, Lin Guoqiang always had a wish in his heart, that is, to run the mahjong parlor better, after all, it was his father's hard work.
The way of running a mahjong parlor
Since Lin Guoqiang took over the mahjong parlor, business has been booming. Each branch has about 23 mahjong tables, and 5% is drawn for each game. It has been 68 years since its opening, and it has accumulated a net worth of more than 100 million.
The rule of the mahjong parlor is that the boss earns 60%, and the employee takes the remaining 40%, so that the employees also have a good income. It is said that the average monthly income of the tea workers in the mahjong parlor can reach about 20,000 yuan, and the monthly income of the supervisor is more than 40,000 yuan.
Lin Guoqiang's business experience is also getting richer and richer, and the management of mahjong parlors has become standardized, with about 60 employees in each store, and at least 40 people work every day, 2 shifts a day, 2 days off for 2 days. This not only ensures the quality of service, but also allows employees to have a stable working environment.
The story on the land of Sha Tin
In addition to the mahjong parlor, the Lin family also bought a 2 million square foot plot of land in Sha Tin.
Peacocks, pangolins, crocodiles and other animals have been raised on it. Lam's mother used to take care of the land here, turning it into a small world full of life. Later, Lin Guoqiang built a jockey school on this land and trained many jockey talents. These young people learn to ride here, and they also continue the dream of Lin Guoqiang when he was young.
Lin Guoqiang is a low-key person and rarely discloses his property. According to Hong Kong media, he is suspected of having bought a building of 300 million yuan in 2019, and apparently his family property is at least 100 million. The rural value of the 2 million square feet of Sha Tin under his name is even more unpredictable.
Lin Guoqiang's love story
Speaking of Lin Guoqiang's love story, it is really envious of others. In 1960, Lin Guoqiang met Huang Beidi, who was 11 years younger than him, who was not only the daughter of a rich family, but also known as the "Dancing Queen".
The combination of the two was not optimistic at first, but Lin Guoqiang proved his sincerity with practical actions. They decided to get married after three months of dating, and in order to surprise Huang Beidi, Lin Guoqiang directly published the marriage news in the newspaper.
After marriage, the two had three sons and a daughter, and Huang Betty died in 2014. After Huang Beidi's death, Lin Guoqiang still faced life strongly, he said: "She is the light of my life, and I will never forget it." ”
When he was interviewed in 2018, he also shared his love with his wife, living a hundred years and having no regrets in this life.
