Speaking of which, Zhao Congyan is also extremely "remorseful".

In 1983, he also ordered Wah Kwong Shipping to mobilize hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to buy six large old ships.

And his behavior against the tide shocked his peers.

At that time, Zhao Congyan was still full of scenery and confidence, in his opinion, after the storm, there must be a clear sky, and when the time comes, with the huge fleet on hand, he can completely make the strength of the Zhao family to a higher level.

But unfortunately, after the storm, the clear sky that Zhao Congyan expected in his heart did not come, but what he was waiting for was another storm, and it came one after another.

The storm is still falling.

Their Zhao family was dragged into a bottomless black hole by daily interest and maintenance fees.

I think back then, Zhao Congyan still wanted to surpass Bao Yugang and let the Zhao family surpass the Bao family, but now, the two families that were not far apart at the beginning, one is in full swing, such as the sun, Wharf, and Wheelock have started one after another.

They are in the Zhao family, but the rivers are falling, and the rain and wind are blowing.....

"Dad, you're ....."

On the side, Zhao Shiyan, who was still cheering up, heard his father's sigh, and didn't know why he suddenly panicked, you must know that in his impression, his father Zhao Congyan was a tough guy style.

Traditionally, no matter what problem you encounter, you will face it bravely and then overcome it one by one.

But now, Zhao Shiyan actually heard the "sigh" from his father's mouth and the "tiredness" on his face, and suddenly his heart was a little uneasy.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Congyan glanced at Zhao Shiyan, then at the other pair of children, and Zhao's mother, and he said slowly: "I didn't tell you at first, because I was afraid that a few of you would worry." ”

"Since your eldest brother has said it, I won't hide it. ”

"The current situation of our Huaguang Group is indeed quite not optimistic, and the group's main business, shipping revenue, is decreasing day by day, or even making ends meet. ”

"Over there, we have a huge amount of foreign debt, and now the loans owed to the bank alone are billions of Hong Kong dollars. ”

If it hadn't really reached the point of "exhausting the mountains and rivers", how could Zhao Congyan tell his family so much, it would be enough for him to handle these business matters.

Thinking of this, in addition to "regretting", Zhao Congyan's envy of Bao Yugang rose several levels.

In fact, in 1982, this worldwide ship disaster was already very obvious, but only a few shipowners like Bao Yugang escaped the ship.

Prior to this, he had sold 125 bulk carriers and jumbo oil tankers, and the remaining 85 ships were all competitive ships with relatively young age, more advanced facilities, and less fuel consumption, among which the promising container cruise ships were all retained.

It can be said that Bao Yugang has completely escaped from the pit of "ship disaster".

You must know that at that time, Bao Yugang paid a huge price for selling ships at a low price, and he Zhao Congyan was still secretly laughing at the same time, "The opportunity is coming", and at the same time, he ate into Bao Yugang's fleet with a lot of money.

However, when this big ship disaster occurred, Zhao Congyan found that Bao Yugang's so-called low price was now sold at a high price in the eyes of other shipowners.

The price of the ship has been plummeting, and even some ships with old age and backward equipment can't get rid of it, so they have to be sent to the shipbreaking dock to be sold as scrap steel, Zhao Congyan really wants to cry without tears!

Why was he so greedy and reckless at that time, wanting to eat into a fat man in one go!

"Billions !!"

On the side, Zhao Shiguang and Zhao Shiliang were still "none of their business, hang high".

Now, when he heard his father say that his Zhao family owed billions of Hong Kong dollars outside, he was immediately shocked, you must know that since they were born, they have been dressed in fine clothes and beautiful clothes.

It is not an exaggeration to say "ten fingers do not touch the spring water".

And the source of all this is the huge industry of the Zhao family, the rolling financial resources of Huaguang Group, but now their Zhao family is actually in debt of billions, which is no less than the sky falling.

Even, this is much more serious than the sky falling!

When the sky falls, there are always tall people on top of it, but once there is no money, without this rich life, it is much more uncomfortable than death.

"Old man, this ..... This, how did this come to this!"

In normal times, Zhao's mother did not participate in the management and operation of Huaguang Group, but firmly held the internal power of the family, but at this time, Zhao's mother was also shocked when she heard this, and even spoke a little dumb.

This person always changes with the environment.

When she first married Zhao Congyan, Zhao's mother did not have a hard life for a period of time, but since then, the Zhao family has quickly become rich and prosperous, and it has lasted for decades.

Slowly, Zhao's mother also became a wealthy old lady, and her food and clothing were all boutiques.

In particular, Zhao's mother also has a hobby, she likes the endless fun of collectors, every time she talks with friends, evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the collection, traces back to the source, preserves the truth and removes the false, and its fun is endless. he

Because of her fondness for these collections, over time, Zhao's mother was a great scholar and often invited academics to his apartment to admire jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and discuss with each other.

These require a huge amount of money!

What is particularly critical is that Zhao's mother's "strong voice" just now, she also wanted her favorite third son to find a way to enter the Huaguang Group, so that she could inherit the Zhao family.

But now, a thunderbolt came on a sunny day......

"Hey, I'm too aggressive, I should have woken up when he left, but who knows, but I was blinded by a moment of greed, which led to a crisis now. ”

From the bottom of his heart, Zhao Congyan knew that he had a chance to run out, at least he would not fall into the current situation, but at that time, why was he dizzy for a while?

In fact, the current crisis of the Zhao family is also fateful.

This time the ship disaster was not like the ship disaster of the thirties, this time the ship disaster slid step by step into the abyss of disaster, causing some shipowners to be slow to react.

It's like an experiment done by a psychologist who throws a frog into boiling water, and the frog immediately jumps out and escapes.

If it is thrown into suitable warm water and slowly heated to a boil, the frog will begin to be unaware of it, and when it can no longer bear it, it will no longer have the strength to jump out, and it will be scalded to death.

This is the "boiled frog" effect...
