Zhao Shiyan, a disciple of the Zhao family.

In the 70s, Heung Kong was a world-renowned international shipping center.

Bao Yugang of Global Shipping, Dong Haoyun of Orient Overseas Shipping Group, Cao Wenjing of Wanbang Group and Zhao Congyan of Huaguang Shipping are known as the "Four Great Ship Kings of Xiangjiang", and the four of them own the largest fleet in Xiangjiang.

Those fleets carried not goods, but shiploads and ships of gold.

In the rise of the Zhao family, there is one person who is definitely "great", that is Zhao Shiyan's father, Zhao Congyan, who is already in his prime.

In the year of the end of feudal society, Zhao Congyan was born, and later studied at the law school of Soochow University, and worked as a practicing lawyer for a period of time.

By the most difficult time of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the 40s, Lao Wang set up a puppet government under the manipulation of the Japanese. Zhao Congyan was disgusted by Wang's behavior and decided not to be a lawyer, leaving his law book behind forever.

"To be a practicing lawyer, you have to be registered," he said. I didn't want to get involved in the political whirlpool, so I decided to switch to business, and after the war, the shipping business boomed, so I bought a large cargo ship, the Star of Victoria, and started a shipping business. ”

Since then, the Zhao family has been like a hanging.

By 1948, he had a family with four sons and a daughter, and his family fortune had reached tens of millions of yuan.

At that time, Zhao Shiyan was already more than ten years old.

One winter day that year, he put his wife and young daughter on a plane to Xiangjiang, and he and his sons came here on the "Star of Victoria".

I have to say that the "Star of Victoria" is Zhao Congyan's lucky star, which brought him good luck to the Zhao family.

He gave up everything in his hometown, leaving this dilapidated cargo ship behind.

Compared with billionaires such as the Feng family, the Zhou family, the Gao family, and the Li family, who have been in the country for 10 years, he is at most a middle class.

Mr. Zhao used the ship to run his business and used the money he earned to buy more ships, which at the time Mr. Zhao typically bought 25-year-old ships that were dilapidated and often in need of repair.

Zhao Congyan hired some crew members with experience in repairing ships at sea, so that his old ships could be kept running.

"A ship has to be inspected once a year, and at the same time a special inspection every four years, and if the crew makes repairs before the ship enters the dry dock, the boat may sit idle for as little as seven days instead of two weeks, which is the owner's way of survival," Zhao said. ”

Soon, the Wah Kwong Shipping Company, founded by him, owned 23 ships.

After that. Due to the rapid development of the entrepot trade in Xiangjiang, which brought prosperity to the shipping industry, Zhao Congyan seized the opportunity to develop and expand the fleet. By the seventies, the fleet had grown to 63 ships, all of which were new ships that were only three or four years old, and the company's operating profit had multiplied.

From 1972 to 1973, the Hong Kong stock market set off a frenzy and created a group of billionaires.

It was during this upsurge that Zhao Congyan's Huaguang Aviation Co., Ltd. and Huaguang Real Estate Co., Ltd. went public to become publicly invested companies.

He used the money he absorbed from the stock market to pay off the debt for the purchase of new ships, thus reducing the burden of interest. When the stock first went public, he had only eight ships and 190,000 tons of deadweight. In just three years, although the economic and aviation industry in Hong Kong is not good, it has not affected him at all.

In the summer of 1974, the "New Century Shipping" was merged, and the tonnage of "Huaguang Navigation" increased dramatically, exceeding the million-ton mark. By the beginning of 1975, the fleet of "Huaguang Navigation" had 29 large ships, and the tonnage had increased by more than four times.

By the end of this year, a profit of 71 million yuan in one fiscal year was impressive.

His fleet consists of cargo ships and oil tankers, which are only three years old on average, and some of them are new ships that have just left the factory, and those old ships have long been obsolete. His fleet was all chartered on a long-term basis by Japanese companies.

The third way to Zhao Congyan's business success is that, like other people with big capital, he is also engaged in real estate business in addition to shipping business.

In 1975 alone, the total value of real estate invested was more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars had already been built. He built high-end bungalows, multi-storey office buildings, parking lots, and affordable buildings for the masses.

Up to now, after nearly 40 years of "painstaking management", the Zhao family has become one of the most famous families in the entire Xiangjiang River, and has a good relationship with other wealthy families in Xiangjiang and marries each other.

The Zhao family started from the end of the micro and is now noble.

As one of Zhao Congyan's children, as the most "famous" and "romantic" among them, Zhao Shiyan's life is undoubtedly envied and hated by countless people.

He, to some extent, is the 80s version of "Wang Sicong"!

A chance event made him fall in love with Ye Qingwen, for Zhao Shiyan, so far, the woman he wants to get, the woman he wants to chase, has not missed.

In his eyes, Ye Qingwen is definitely no exception!

In his glorious achievements, Zhao Shiyan will never allow this woman to become his "obstacle", the more the other party "refuses", the stronger his interest becomes, he is a man who is determined to be the "No. 1 player in Xiangjiang"!

No, despite the woman's repeated "resistance", it is not yet obedient to the "Peninsula Hotel".

"Come, Miss Ye have a taste, the foie gras of the Peninsula Hotel is the most famous in the whole of Xiangjiang. Looking at Ye Qingwen, who was angry on the other side, but was "helpless", the corners of Zhao Shiyan's mouth showed a smug smile.

Hehe, what if you don't want to, it's not like you're going to eat with him obediently.

Anyway, for the current Zhao Shiyan, what he wants is not to "pursue" Ye Qingwen at all, nor to move any true feelings, but that this woman is one of the few women who dares to reject him so "strongly"!

All he wanted was a sense of conquest!

As for the aftermath, what the woman's feelings and thoughts are in her heart, it is none of his business, he has long gone to find the next goal, Zhao Shiyan's life creed is that you must not play with only one woman in your life.

Even, he taught his son: "Change girlfriends every day, you must not be obsessed with just one woman".

However, although Zhao Shirub has played with countless women, he has never been married, he said: "The most important thing in my life's happiness is not to get married, I will not have so many happy days when I am married, I am free and unattended, and I can be new every day." ”

For him, Ye Qingwen is just a small "station" in his life journey.

Ye Qingwen had already understood Zhao Shiyan's "shamelessness", so he said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhao, what do you want, I don't have so much energy to play with you!"
