Like gambling king Stanley Ho, Lam Baixin married four wives and concubines. Lin Baixin, who has a "big family and a big business", is also mixed in with four wives, concubines and many children. She has experienced many family fights among wealthy families and still owes a debt

As we all know, Hong Kong did not officially abolish polygamy until 1971. As a result, many heads of wealthy old families have three wives and four concubines.

wealthy businessman Lin Baixin is one of them. Like gambling king Stanley Ho, Lam Baixin married four wives and concubines.

However, it is not so easy for wealthy businessmen to enjoy the blessings of being together. Lin Baixin, who has a "big family and a big business", is also mixed in with four wives, concubines and many children. She has experienced many family fights among wealthy families and still owes a debt of love.

original partner: Lai Yuanfang.

Like most wealthy businessmen, Lin Baixin has a well-matched first wife who is very helpful to her career.

In 1914, Lin Baixin was born in Chaoyang County, Shantou City, Guangdong Province (now Chaoyang District, Shantou City).

His father's name was Lin Xianzhi. He opened a bank in Shantou in his early years. Later, when the situation was turbulent and business became increasingly difficult to do, his family moved to Hong Kong in the 1930s. When

was passed down to Lin Baixin, the Lin family was already in some financial decline. But the chaotic situation did not dampen Lin Baixin's ambition to get ahead and revive her family business.

So, at the age of 16, he took a boat from Hong Kong to Macau to work hard with only 13 yuan in his pocket.

After arriving in Macau, Lin Baixin did not usher in a turning point in her life.

Because he was too young, no one believed that he really had any extraordinary talents, and he never had the opportunity to display his ambitions.

Just when Lin Baixin was feeling sad, his nobleman Lai Yuanfang appeared.

Why is Lai Yuanfang said to be Lin Baixin’s nobleman?

This starts with Lai Yuanfang’s grandfather.

In the 15th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, a young man named Lai Jixi was admitted to the Juren Examination in Zengcheng, Guangdong.

In the subsequent turmoil, Lai Jixi chose to go to Hong Kong for development.

In 1913, he became the chief lecturer and professor of Chinese at the University of Hong Kong, which means that he founded the Chinese Department of Hong Kong University.

Lai Jixi was born in 1865 and died in 1937. In other words, when Lin Baixin and Lai Yuanfang got married in 1935, Lai Jixi was a witness.

At that time, Lai Jixi had great social prestige, and the Lai family took root in Hong Kong earlier than the Lin family, and had better connections in the upper class than the Lin family.

So Lai Yuanfang and Lin Baixin are a perfect match, and they even have some intention of getting married.

In 1945, Lam Bai Yan and Lai Yuanfang established Cheng Fook Knitting Factory in Yuen Chau Street, Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong. In 1947, they founded Lai Sun Clothing Company, and began to engage in the trade of textiles and fabrics, mainly manufacturing and exporting ready-made garments. Lin Baixin's career territory is getting wider and wider.

On the other hand, after marrying Lin Baixin, Lai Yuanfang soon gave birth to son Lin Jianming and daughter Lin Shuying.

As the eldest son, Lin Jianming was indeed deeply favored by his father in his early years. Lin Baixin sent him to a famous trade school in England, majoring in textiles. It was obvious that he would return home and inherit the family business in the future.

Lin Jianming has been running the company for his father since he returned from school in 1955.

Originally, everything was moving forward according to the script, but I never thought that Lin Jianming was really disappointing. Not only was he timid, he was also procrastinating and unable to take care of the Lin family's property. His romantic nature made Lin Baixin intolerable.

In just the 10 years from 1988 to 1998, Lin Jianming dated Chen Qiming, Lai Sijia, Zhang Donglin, Cai Huimin, Zhu Yanzhen, Guo Jindu and many other Miss Asia, leaving behind Countless romantic pasts.

This young master Lin also revealed that he has dated thousands of female stars, especially young women, and his face is as thick as a city wall.

In 1994, Lin Jianming was knocked unconscious while dating a goddess and took a large number of indecent photos. The other party threatened a million-dollar ransom.

However, the other party may have underestimated the thickness of Young Master Lin's face. He didn't care at all. Not only did he not pay him, he also took the initiative to expose his indecent photos, which instantly became a hot topic in the streets.

This incident made the entire Lin family feel ashamed. Lin Baixin was furious, and he decided to completely give up on his son who couldn't stand up to the wall.

Lai Yuanfang is certainly not satisfied with the result.

On the original wife's side, in addition to the male Lin Jianming, there is also an adopted son Lin Jiankang.

Lin Jiankang is the son of Lin Baixin's eldest brother. He lost his parents when he was young and moved away, so he has been raised under the eldest son's knees. After a bowl of water ended, Lin Baixin also sent Lin Jiankang to the UK to study at university. Later, Lin Jiankang obtained an advanced law diploma and became a registered practicing lawyer in Hong Kong.

In terms of strength, Lin Jiankang is indeed good, much better than Lin Jianming.

At the end of 1997, Lin Baixin was involved in a troublesome matter and was detained for a time. Lin Jiankang said that he would voluntarily accompany Lin Baixin, and later used his legal knowledge to successfully get Lin Baixin out of the case.

At that time, the eldest son of the second wife, Lin Jianyue, failed to invest in , so at that time, Lin Baixin began to value Lin Jiankang, and once publicly stated that Lin Jiankang looked like himself when he was young.

But the good times did not last long. When it came time to actually choose a successor, Lin Jiankang was still defeated.

There are many reasons, but in the final analysis, Lin Jiankang is just an adopted son. In Lin Bo's heart, blood relationship still prevailed.

Since then, the great family Lai Yuanfang has basically withdrawn from this inheritance competition.

What's more, Lin Baixin later married Yu Baozhu, the second wife, Gu Ruiying, the third wife, and Cai Yanru, the fourth wife.

Second bedroom: Yu Baozhu.

Unlike Lai Yuanfang, the eldest son of a noble family, the second wife Yu Baozhu comes from the bottom of society.

At first, Yu Baozhu was just a female worker in a company owned by Lin Baixin, but later she was promoted to a small supervisor because of her outstanding performance.

Lin Baixin worked very hard when she founded a garment factory. She had food and accommodation in the factory, so she became familiar with Yu Baozhu.

When the second wife Yu Baozhu came in, Lai Yuanfang, as the first wife, did not interfere too much. Maybe Lai Yuanfang overestimated Lin Jianming's strength, or maybe Lai Yuanfang, who was born in a scholarly family, did not bother to participate in this competition for favor.

But what the eldest son Lin Jianming did really disappointed his old father, so the advantage of the second wife began to gradually emerge.

From a traditional perspective, Yu Baozhu is not beautiful, and her family background has no advantages. She was able to marry Lin Baixin, and the outside world generally believed that it was because of her talents.

For example, in 1950, the 24-year-old Yu Baozhu introduced Lin Baixin to buy the Lai Sun Garment Factory on Keelung Street. It was in this year that Yu Baozhu and Lin Baixin got married.

Also, it was Yu Baozhu’s idea for Lin Baixin to enter the African garment market.

Yu Baozhu was so capable that when Lin Baixin later developed her real estate business, she handed over almost all of the "Laixin" business to Yu Baozhu. Later facts proved that Lin Bo's vision was correct, and Yu Baozhu did his job with ease.

In addition, Yu Baozhu also gave birth to a son and a daughter to Lin Baixin. One of the boys was Lin Jianyue who later inherited most of Lin Baixin's family business.

Lin Jianyue was born in 1957, which is 20 years younger than his elder brother, Lin Jianming (born in 1937), the eldest son of his first wife Lai Yuanfang.

Because of the large age difference, Lin Jianming should be able to control the situation by the time Lin Jianyue grows up. It stands to reason that Lin Jianyue's advantage in standing out will not be great.

But reality is so magical.

Lin Jianyue was born in 1957. People like to call him " Mr. Yue".

Lin Jianyue was quite popular with women when he was young. After marrying actress Tse Lingling , he fell in love with Wang Zuxian, which eventually made Tse Lingling angry and divorced.

Lin Jianyue's behavior angered his mother Yu Baozhu.

Yu Baozhu is a career-oriented woman with a fiery temper, and she has always been good at taking care of housework.

Faced with her son's scandal, this mother settled the dispute by saying, "Just treat your son as a prostitute."

But who knew that after Wang Zuxian left the scene with a loss of face, Lin Jianyue did not stop his pursuit of beauty.

Later, , Lin Jianyue successively dated Lin Xuehua, vice president of Lixin Development; Taiwanese model Chen Yuping (who also gave birth to a daughter) and many other girlfriends, but Yu Baozhu didn't care about this, she only recognized Xie Lingling, and no other women Don’t even think about coming in to get a piece of the pie.

On the other hand, when Lin Jianyue was born, Lin Baixin's career was at the peak of its rise, so Lin Baixin regarded this son as her lucky star, just like the gambling king Stanley Ho regarded his daughter Ho Chaoqiong as his lucky star.

Lin Jianyue was sent to Canada by Lin Baixin to study at the age of 13, and later sent to the University of Oregon in the United States to study business for two years.

is the same as his eldest brother Lin Jianming. After graduated in 1987, Lin Jianyue returned to Hong Kong to help his father manage the business.

Lin Jianyue's performance was not good at the beginning. Because was young and vigorous, many of the decisions Lin Jianyue made ended up in losses, almost destroying the family business.

What made Lin Baixin most angry was that Lin Jianyue spent 6.9 billion to acquire Furama Hotel with a market value of only 3.1 billion in 1997. The losses were huge, and Lixin's life was hanging by a thread for a time.

Later, as his experience grew, Lin Jianyue brought new management methods to Laixin.

In 2000, Lin Jianyue invested in Media Asia Film Company. Not long after invested in Media Asia, he uniquely prepared the filming of " Infernal Affairs ", which made Media Asia a huge profit. Since then, there have been many excellent works.

He used the money earned by Media Asia to subsidize previous losses. Gradually, Lixin took off again under his leadership.

This magical operation also completely conquered the old man's heart, so he left Lixin to Lin Jianyue to take care of him with peace of mind. Making him a veritable new generation leader.

Third Room: Gu Ruiying.

After Lin Baixin married his second wife, Yu Baozhu, in 1950, his career took off.

But only 7 years later, he married his third wife Gu Ruiying.

Like gambling king Stanley Ho's fourth wife Anqi Leung , when she met Lin Baixin, Gu Ruiying was a young girl who loved dancing.

Gu Ruiying once worked as a dancer in a Shanghai dance hall under the stage name Zhang Lingzhi, and later met the rich Lin Baixin.

In this way, 20-year-old Gu Ruiying married Lin Baixin, who was 23 years older than herself, and gave birth to son Lin Weijun and daughter Lin Mingzhu. The two names

are actually very strange. The children of the first and second bedrooms are all from the "building" generation, but the children of the third bedroom are not.

Although it is explained that the name "Lin Mingzhu" means "the pearl in the palm" and is a special kind of favor. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the status of the third wife has been firmly suppressed by the eldest and second wives.

Lin Mingzhu was indeed favored by her father when she was a child, but as she grew younger and had a rebellious personality, she gradually went further and further away from her father, and even had conflicts. The most important focus of conflict in

is the "Chi Building".

The reason was that Lin Mingzhu wanted to start a business in Shanghai. She borrowed 1 billion from the bank in the name of her father Lin Baixin and her mother Gu Ruiying.

Using the money, she built a top-level apartment "Zhi Building" in Shanghai.

Of course, Gu Ruiying’s wishes are also there. In her early years, Gu Ruiying worked as a dancer in a Shanghai dance hall, so she always wanted to return to Shanghai to start a business. Because Gu Ruiying's stage name was "Zhang Lingzhi", she and her daughter decided to build the "Zhi Building" after discussing it.

But this girl Lin Mingzhu has no concept of money at all. She wants the best in everything, which leads to the building's budget being seriously overrun and a lot of money still owed.

In 2002, the bank pursued Lin Baixin for debts owed by "Zhi Mansion". In anger, Lin Baixin told the media that Lin Mingzhu was a rogue and lived a luxurious life. She also filed a lawsuit with the court to demand 1 billion yuan from the third wife and her daughter. The father and daughter broke up.

Lin Mingzhu was not to be outdone. In January 2003, she sued her father Lin Baixin and five media outlets for "alleged defamation" and demanded compensation. For a time, Hong Kong was in an uproar, and Lin Mingzhu was called a "rebellious girl from a wealthy family."

Since then, the Sanfang lineage has completely withdrawn from the family competition for property and hegemony.

Because of this incident, when Lin Baixin passed away, brothers Lin Jianming and Lin Jianyue, who represented the first and second families, said that their father would not allow them to attend the funeral and directly removed the third family from the family obituary.

In desperation, Gu Ruiying could only publish the obituary on her own, which made the first and second bedroom very dissatisfied.

At this point, the relationship between Sanfang and the other families can never go back to the beginning (although it was not very good at the beginning).

fourth room: Cai Yanru.

The fourth wife is also a strange person, but she did not appear in Lin Baixin's life for a long time.

Cai Yanru was originally a young Taiwanese actress with little fame. In 1969, she married Lin Baixin.

What is very interesting is that the third wife Gu Ruiying was 20 years old when she married Lin Baixin, and the fourth wife Cai Yanru was also 20 years old when she married.

After meeting Lin Baixin, Cai Yanru faded out of the entertainment industry and transitioned to taking care of business and taking care of the family for Lin Bo. Later, she gave birth to a daughter, Lin Shuling, for Lin Baixin.

But only 10 years later, she divorced Lin Baixin without any nostalgia and left the family.

In fact, in Lin Baixin’s obituary, in addition to the third and fourth bedrooms, the fourth bedroom was removed.

It can be seen from this that the food of rich families is not so delicious. Perhaps Cai Yanru has seen through all this a long time ago, and there is no place for her in this family.

After the divorce, Cai Yanru took her daughter and remarried to Hawaii, voluntarily giving up her property inheritance rights , and severed ties with the Lin family.

is indeed a strange woman.

For Lin Bo, traveling in shopping malls may be what he is good at, but family relationships are a real headache, especially for such a large family with a large population, and of course, money.

I don’t know whether having three wives and four concubines is a benefit or a pressure for him?
