What is the history of the "Lin family"?

Lin is the second most popular surname in Taiwan Province Province, and there is a saying that "Chen wants to spend half a day". Lin from Taiwan Province Province also came from the mainland to live in Fujian. Mazu was the daughter of Putian people in Song Dynasty, commonly known as Lin, and enjoyed a high incense in Fujian and Taiwan. Lin, who first crossed Taiwan Province from Fujian, began in the Ming Dynasty. According to historical records, in the fifth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1407), there was a man named Lin Chaohe who crossed the sea eastward and settled in Tainan, and was called the first person to move to Taiwan. It is said that there is a tomb of Lin Chaohe outside the south gate of Tainan City today, just to commemorate the ancestor of Lin surname in Taiwan Province Province.

After Lin Chaohe moved to Taiwan, Lin moved to Taiwan from the mainland twice on a large scale. The first time was at the end of Qing Dynasty, that is, Zheng Chenggong's anti-Qing restoration. Originally living in Fujian, the Lin family moved to Taiwan Province Province one after another, mainly concentrated in Chiayi and Tainan at first, and then gradually spread to the whole island. Celebrities such as An Renlin cultivated Zhushan Town (formerly known as Lin Qipu) in Yunlin County, Patricia Lam Fung cultivated in Tainan County, Ren Pinglin Kuanlao and others cultivated and settled in Chiayi successively. The second time happened in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. A large number of people surnamed Lin from Fujian and Guangdong immigrated to Taiwan Province Province, resulting in the prosperity of Lin in Taiwan Province Province. Today, Tainan and Taipei have the most Lin surnames, followed by Changhua, Chiayi, Nantou, Taichung, Hsinchu and Miaoli. There are many Lin families and aristocratic families in Taiwan Province Province, the most influential of which are Wufeng Lin and Banqiao Lin, which have flourished for a hundred years. Lin family is not only a political figure in Taiwan Province, but also an influential Lin family. 1996 failed to run for "president". In the business world, there are many well-known figures of the Lam family, except the Lin Rong San family of the "Three Gang", the Chase Group and the clock of the "Feed King".

The Lins' family of the "Three Alliances" is a new big family with strong economic strength and political power in Taiwan Province Province. At present, Lin Ji's wives, Xie Jian, Lin Ji and Lin Rongsan, are the core figures. They have formed a political and business family through the relationship of enterprise and marriage. A newspaper commented: "No matter from family property, number of people, or political and economic relations, the three gangs are rare big families with great power and amazing financial resources on the island."

The Lins' wealth is huge, reaching hundreds of billions of Taiwan dollars. In the ranking list of Taiwan Province's top 100 richest people 1993 published by Zhuo Yue magazine, Lin Rong San, Lin Ji and Xie Jian, the representatives of the Lin family, all have personal net worth of 30 billion yuan, totaling 90 billion yuan, ranking second in Taiwan Province Province, surpassing Wang Yongqing and Wang Yongqing brothers and second only to Cai Wanlin, the richest man in Taiwan Province.

The Lins' father is not prominent in Taiwan Province Province. Lin Jiansheng, his father, worked as a farmer in Luzhou Township in his early years. After accumulating a little wealth, he opened a rice shop to make a living, which can only be regarded as a small businessman. 1952 When Lin Jiansheng died, he left his children only 2 hectares of land, a rice mill and a grocery store. Since then, the three sons have continued to engage in rice milling business with their second brother-in-law Chen Wanfu and their mother, and moved from their hometown Luzhou Township to Mie City. 1956, Gong Lin brothers opened a Yuyu rice factory, which was run by Laoer Lin Chan. Because of the good business, the Lin brothers opened a rice milling shop opposite the Jianguo Brewery in Taipei, expanding their business to Taipei. Lin Ji accepted the new factory in Taipei, and his third son, Lin Rong San, successfully managed the Sanlian factory.

Later, the cousin of the Lin brothers was engaged in the construction business. He bought a large piece of land and asked the three brothers Lin who already had property for a loan. Lin Qiqi, the boss, thought that the land business would definitely make money in the future, so she began to invest in land and real estate. 1964, the Lins' three brothers established Guo Hong Construction Company in partnership and entered the construction industry, thus entering a new starting point of the Lins' family business and creating great wealth for the Lins in the future.

The Lins' township business in Taipei County has developed so rapidly, mainly by investing in real estate. In the early years, the Lins bought land with a unique vision, and often chose agricultural land or protected areas located on hillsides, rivers or drainage ditches as development sites, with low cost and great development potential. With the rapid development of economy and urbanization in Taiwan Province Province, the original low-priced land has been transformed into commercial land or residential land, and even become the golden land in the urban area, and the profits have doubled.

The Lins and Together Brothers worked together to develop their business and gradually established a huge Lins family business group in Taiwan Province Province. Their real estate business expanded from their hometown of Luzhou and Mie to Xinzhuang, Banqiao, Three Gorges, Ying Ge, Zhonghe and other northern towns in Taiwan Province Province, and a number of apartment buildings were built, which soon became the leader of the construction industry in Taipei County. Then, the Lin brothers extended the construction industry to Taipei, successively building in Shilin and Shipai in the suburbs of Taipei, and then marching into the center of Taipei to build high-grade Bie Ye and high-rise buildings in different prime locations. The Lin family's "three gangs" dominate the real estate industry in Taiwan Province Province. Today, the Lin family has huge land and building assets, and has become a well-known architectural tycoon and the richest man in Taiwan Province Province. It is reported that the Lin Rong San family manages 300 hectares of land.

In the late 1960s, the Lins' three brothers gradually separated their operations, and Lin Qiqi, the eldest brother, was in charge of the Lins' main construction investment company. Lao Er Lan Lin Management Hongtai Construction Co., Ltd.; The third son, Lin Rong San, opened the Federal Construction Enterprise Co., Ltd. on 1967 and became the most influential figure in the Lins' business valley, thus forming the three major construction groups of the Lins, cooperating with each other and developing together.
