Chapter 8 Chapter 4: A wealthy family

Zong William was born with the title of "the world's most expensive child", but this title was snatched by his sister two years later, she has kept this title until now, and now because the family law is abolished, it will no longer be No one is threatening her title. Their father is the famous Sir Lawrence. When he was born, the "one-child" policy was strictly implemented in mainland China. The one-child policy of his generation provided psychologists and sociologists with countless research materials. This kind of situation where there are no siblings, and most of them have no uncles, is a very special situation in human history.How long this lasts depends on racial backlash or the Chinese clan system, and it may never be known, but it turns out that children born in these strange times are quite fearless, but they are not completely immune Influence, and Sir Lawrence is in this situation, in order to make up for his lonely childhood to develop his amazing talent.

When his second child is born in 2022, the license system has become law, and as long as he pays a modest fee, he can have as many children as he likes (those remaining conservative old Communist Party members Not the only ones who think the system is rather excessive, but those comrades who voted in favor of the system still have a majority in the emerging Congress of the People's Democratic Republic). Both the first and second babies are free, the third child has to pay the government one million yuan, the fourth child has to pay two million yuan, the fifth child has to pay four million yuan, and so on.In theory, this system completely ignores the fact that there are no capitalists in the People's Republic.

Young Mr Zong (long before King Edward gave him the title of Knight in the Royal Army) has never shown his heart, because when his fifth child was born, he was just a very poor hundred Thousands of households.But when he was forty years old and the cost of buying the whole of Hong Kong was not as high as he had thought, he realized that he still had a lot of change in his hand. The saga has only just begun, but like so many stories about him, it's hard to tell.There has been a persistent rumor that his first fortune came from piracy of materials safeguarded by the famous Library of Congress.Because the United States refused to sign the Moon Treaty, the specific results of the entire molecular memory module industry could not be transmitted back to the earth to share with all mankind.

Sir Lawrence is not a billionaire, but the business he built has made him the most powerful man in the world, an extraordinary feat for the son of a humble videotape peddler in the New Territories .He probably never noticed that it cost him eight million yuan to have his sixth child, nor did he notice that it cost him thirty-two million yuan to have his eighth child, when he spent six million yuan to have his ninth child. At fourteen million yuan, it attracted worldwide attention; after the birth of his tenth child, most people have bet more than the amount of money on his "plan" to have an eleventh child in the future. The required cost is 256 million yuan. However, at this time, his wife, Ms. Jasmine (she invented an extremely perfect ratio of mixing the best properties of steel and silk in the early years) thinks that the Zong Dynasty It has already formed, so I plan to stop giving birth.

Sir Lawrence's personal involvement in the space business was by accident.His hobbies are all in the sea, space and navigation, but those are all in charge of his five sons and their cronies. His own favorite is only the communication business: newspapers (the few remaining newspapers), books, magazines (General books and newspapers and electronic transmission), the most important is the global television communication network. Later, he bought the magnificent old Peninsula Hotel (for a poor Chinese kid, the Peninsula Hotel has always been a symbol of wealth and power in his mind), and used it as his residence and main office. Create a beautiful garden and move the existing shopping mall underground (his new laser excavation company has made a fortune and set a model for other cities).

One day, while admiring the beautiful skyline across the harbour, he resolved to make further improvements.He found that from the lower floors of the decorated hotel, the view had been blocked by buildings for a long time, like a squashed golf ball. Therefore, Sir Lawrence decided to change this. The Hong Kong Planetarium is considered to be one of the five best observatories in the world, but the director of the museum has other ideas. Sir Lawrence was very pleased to find that the director is indeed a candidate that money cannot buy. As a result, the two became close friends.But when Dr. Heisenstein gave a special lecture on Sir Lawrence's 60th birthday, Sir Lawrence did not know that he would contribute to changing the history of the entire solar system.
