25: Great Profiteer Lin Qing?
I think it should be Great Philanthropist Lin Qing instead!
The real World.
“???
” The passersby on the street were all stunned.
They only saw Ma Hongjun suddenly kneel down, wet his pants, and then start babbling nonsense.
“Wh-what’s going on?” “I don’t know, he suddenly went crazy.” “He even wet his pants, how disgusting.” “Tsk tsk, is this the kind of behavior a Spirit Master has?” The whispers regarding Ma Hongjun’s actions rustled through the crowd.
Second Girl also looked at Lin Qing with confusion.
“Xiao Qing, what happened to him?” “Maybe he was already crazy to begin with, ignore him.” Lin Qing smiled and shrugged.
He lowered the carriage curtain and instructed the coachman, “Go around.” “Yes.” The coachman cracked his whip, and the carriage bypassed the paralyzed Ma Hongjun on the ground, continuing forward.
Inside the carriage.
Second Girl whispered, “Xiao Qing, did you do that just now?” “Mm.” Lin Qing nodded.
“Just a small lesson for him, who told him to look at you with that kind of gaze.” That lecherous thing dared to target Second Girl; he was courting death.
Hearing that it was because of her, Second Girl’s face flushed, and she felt sweet inside.
“Thank you…” “Silly talk.” Lin Qing ruffled her hair.
“In the future, if anyone bullies you, just tell me.
I will definitely help you teach them a lesson.” “Mm!” Second Girl nodded vigorously, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
…
After bringing Second Girl back to their rented courtyard and getting her settled.
He began to think about his next plan.
Opening a shop was a certainty; he needed more money to collect Whale Glue.
The question was, what industry?
Where would the startup capital come from?
How to open up the market?
All these needed careful planning.
Just as he was thinking.
“Hum!” A familiar trembling sensation appeared without warning.
Lin Qing looked up abruptly.
On the living room table, a black urn had appeared at some point.
[Ding!
You have received the legacy of ‘Great Profiteer Lin Qing’!] [Would you like to listen to the last words immediately?] “Another legacy?” Lin Qing’s eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to the table.
“Listen to the last words.” [Ding!
last words are playing!] Light and shadow unfolded before his eyes.
[My name is Lin Qing.] The narrator’s voice was gentle and smooth, carrying the shrewdness unique to a businessman.
[I underwent Transmigration and Rebirth on the Douluo Continent…
into an ordinary merchant family.] In the scene, an infant lay in an ornate cradle.
Surrounded by exquisite mahogany furniture, silk curtains, and servants standing at the ready.
The family background was clearly very affluent.
[At the age of six, I underwent Awakening for my Spirit “Heavenly Eye”, with an Innate spirit power of rank eight.] The testing crystal bloomed with dazzling light.
The parents were so excited they embraced each other.
“A Genius!
Our family has produced a Genius!” “Send him to Spirit Hall!
Send him to the best Spirit Master academy!
In the future, he will surely become a powerful Spirit Master and bring honor to our ancestors!” But the young Lin Qing shook his head.
[But from childhood until now, influenced by my family, I had no interest in being a Spirit Master; instead, I wanted to do business and be a merchant.] In the study.
Seven-year-old Lin Qing lay on the desk, staring brightly at the account books.
Those dense numbers seemed to have life in his eyes.
“Father, I want to learn how to do business.” “What?!” The father was stunned.
“You…
you have Spirit Master talent!
Why do business?” “But I think making money is more interesting than fighting.” Little Lin Qing looked up, his eyes clear and firm.
[So, I chose to abandon being a Spirit Master and became a merchant!] The narrator’s voice carried a hint of pride.
“???
” Lin Qing in reality twitched the corner of his mouth.
“This guy’s train of thought is a bit unique…” In a World like the Douluo Continent where strength is respected, choosing not to be a Spirit Master and doing business instead?
This choice…
“Is truly unique.” He could only evaluate it as such.
Continuing to watch.
[I started from the bottom.] The scene flashed by quickly.
Ten-year-old Lin Qing set up a stall in the market, selling small handmade trinkets.
“Auntie, this straw grasshopper is three bronze coins, look how delicately it’s woven!” “Uncle, buy one for your child to play with, it’s cheap!” Smiling from ear to ear, his mouth sweet as honey.
Late at night, under an oil lamp, he carefully recorded every income and expense.
How much income, how much cost, how much profit; the account books were written clearly.
[Just like that, starting from small trades, I slowly accumulated capital and earned my first pot of gold for starting a business.] [Three years later, my stall turned into a small grocery store.] Lin Qing stood behind the counter, skillfully bargaining with customers.
“The cost price for this batch of fabric is high; I really can’t make it any cheaper.” “You are a regular customer, how about this, I’ll give you two more handkerchiefs.” [Two more years later, the grocery store expanded into a medium-sized shop, and I started hiring clerks, becoming the shopkeeper myself.] [Five more years later, I established a small chamber of commerce.] In the conference room, Lin Qing sat in the main seat, with over a dozen managers below.
“This year’s profit from the three branches has increased by thirty percent compared to last year, very good.” He nodded with a smile.
“But it’s still not enough.” “Next year, we will expand our business to the three neighboring cities.” [In fact, I succeeded; my shops and chamber of commerce started to gain fame, but I was just an ordinary person, I needed security, so I started a sponsorship program.] [I sponsored orphans and sent them to Spirit Master academies.] In front of a dilapidated orphanage.
Lin Qing handed a heavy bag of gold coins to the old director.
“This money is for the children to buy some winter clothes and bedding.” “And…” He looked at the children in the yard who were gazing at him longingly.
“If any of them have awakened spirit power, tell me; tuition and living expenses, I will cover it all.” “Thank you…
thank you Mr.
Lin!” The old director was so moved that tears streamed down his face.
[My good reputation gradually spread.] People discussed it in the streets and alleys.
“Have you heard?
Boss Lin donated money to build another school!” “He really is a kind person…” “My nephew was able to enter Notting Spirit Master Academy because of his sponsorship!” “…” [Decades later, my chamber of commerce became a famous commercial Empire that spread to every city on the continent.] [This commercial Empire was able to remain so stable precisely because of the countless Spirit Masters I had sponsored who, after succeeding, voluntarily chose to support me.] The magnificent seven-story headquarters was located in the most prosperous district of the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
In the top-floor office, the white-haired Lin Qing sat behind a large mahogany desk, his eyes still shrewd and sharp.
“Chairman, this is this year’s financial report.” The secretary respectfully handed over a thick file.
Lin Qing took it and carefully flipped through it page by page.
After a while, he nodded with satisfaction.
“Net profit increased by eighteen percent, not bad.
Notify the managers of each branch, year-end bonuses are increased by ten percent.” “Yes!” [And soon, it was my time to reach the end of my life.] On the soft hospital bed, the old man slowly closed his eyes, a peaceful smile on his lips.
By the bed, his descendants sobbed softly.
There were also many people who had rushed from all over the continent, from ordinary people to Titled Douluo, to pay their respects.
These were all people whose lives he had sponsored or changed.
[After I died, I left enough money for my descendants to live on and donated the rest of my legacy.] In the solemn hall, his will was publicly announced.
“Mr.
Lin Qing has divided all his assets into three parts.” “The first part is to be used to establish the ‘Qinglin Charitable Foundation’ to provide long-term sponsorship for impoverished Spirit Master students.” “The second part is to be used to build three hundred schools and three hundred medical clinics across the entire continent.” “The third part…” Everyone paused, their voices somewhat choked with emotion.
“Is to be donated to the thirty-seven orphanages he sponsored during his lifetime.” “…” Lin Qing in reality remained silent for a long time after watching this part of the last words.
Complex emotions welled up in his heart.
“Seemingly a Great Profiteer…
but in reality, he spent his whole life using his own money to help others.” Starting from scratch, building a commercial Empire.
Wealthy enough to rival a nation, yet he gave away all his wealth.
This kind of life…
