2. The Chen family
Repulse Bay is in the south of Hong Kong Island, by the mountains and the sea, the bay is crescent-shaped, the slope is gentle and the beach is long, the waves are calm, the water is clear and the sand is fine, the beach is wide and clean and the water is shallow, and the winter is warm and the summer is cool, the water temperature is between 16 degrees Celsius and 27 degrees Celsius, it has always been the resort of Hong Kong people to spend the summer tide, and it is also a famous scenic spot that tourists must visit. In the past, one of the eight views of the Xiangjiang River, "the ups and downs of the sea country", referred to the beach in Repulse Bay.
In 1975, Hong Kong's Repulse Bay was already one of the most noble residential areas in Hong Kong, with many villas and mansions scattered on the slopes of the bay, including the mansions of Hong Kong's wealthy businessman Li Ka-shing and ship king Pao Yugang.
Chen Yihua's home is also in this high-end residential area, the Chen family mansion at No. 118 Repulse Bay, in Hong Kong, the old man of the Chen family Chen Tingyao is also a well-known tycoon-level figure, known as Hong Kong's 'cotton yarn king', Chen Tingyao's father is engaged in running a cloth factory, and Chen Tingyao has become the general manager of three commercial institutions in S City and Ningbo in his twenties. In 1949, he moved to Hong Kong, founded Southern Textile Co., Ltd. in 1954, and in 1969, Southern Textile United Co., Ltd. was reorganized and officially listed in 1970. In the same year, the Chen Tingyao Foundation was established.
Chen Tingyao, a native of Ningbo, was born in 1923 in a wealthy local businessman, and his father was the owner of a cloth factory in Ningbo. Ningbo is a famous commercial town in China, and the "Fengbang" merchants are famous all over the world. Chen Tinghua has been familiar with business since he was a child. After graduating from middle school, he gave up his studies to start a business and went from Ningbo to S City to do business alone. Later, he had savings and opened a small silk village on ZJ Road in S City. Due to his personal efforts, he became the general manager of three commercial organizations in his 20s.
In 1949, Chen Tingyao came to Hong Kong with 300,000 yuan and began a new page in his life. When he first arrived in Hong Kong, Chen Tingyao was unfamiliar with his life and could not speak GD, so he had to rent an office with an area of about 20 square meters in Oi Kwan Bank in Central, and continued to do his old business of buying and selling fabrics.
In May 1954, Chen Tingyao invested 600,000 Hong Kong dollars to set up Southern Yarn Factory Co., Ltd. in Tsuen Wan. Two years later, the factory was officially put into operation, producing 400 bales of cotton yarn per month. After the opening of the yarn factory, Chen Tingyao showed his talent as an industrialist. Not only was the mill well managed, but in order to open up the international market, he designed a kind of cheese yarn of four to six threads, which could be used to make a variety of towel products. After the launch of the product, it was well received by the international market, and orders flew like snowflakes, not only did the southern yarn factory create a famous name, but Hong Kong's textile industry also began to make a small name internationally.
In 1969, he reorganized the Southern Yarn Mill into the Southern Textile United Company. In April of the following year, the company was listed by HSBC in Hong Kong with an offer of 4.75 million shares to the public. The par value of each share is two yuan, the premium is four yuan, and it is listed at six yuan. With this move, Chen Tingyao raised 28.5 million yuan, and his strength suddenly doubled.
At the beginning of the 70s, a new process technology appeared in the textile industry - air spinning spindle weaving technology. The process technology is not only several times faster than conventional spindles, but also significantly improves the quality. Chen Tingyao believes that in order to improve the competitiveness of textiles, it is necessary to use new process technology. He bought new textile machines on a large scale, phased out old ones, and bought a large amount of land to expand the factory to plan for the future development of the south. Under the careful management of Chen Tingyao, the southern company has developed rapidly.
Chen Yihua disagreed with himself as a cheap old man, but after listening to Chen Tingyao's deeds from his subordinates, Chen Yihua also had to admire it, Chen Tingyao can be regarded as self-made, without the foresight of a person like himself, he can break into such an industry can indeed be admired.
Chen Yihua didn't know much about Hong Kong's rich people in his previous life, he only knew that there were four major families in Hong Kong, Li Ka-shing family (ancestral home GD Chaozhou), Guo Bingxiang family (ancestral home GD Zhongshan), Lee Shau Kee family (ancestral home GD Foshan), Zheng Yutong family (ancestral home GD Foshan), but seeing the current prestige of the Chen family, I feel that the Chen family is no longer ordinary, how can it be ranked in the top ten in Hong Kong, I think the Chen family should also be very famous in the future generations.
For being able to become Chen Tingyao's son, Chen Yihua was very excited at first, thinking that he was really running in time, not only crossing, but also the son of a wealthy businessman, how could he live a rich life that he had never thought of in his previous life, and be a happy rich second generation or something.
It's a pity that I haven't reminisced about it from my dreams, and the blow of reality made Chen Yihua fall from heaven to hell, he is the son of the third wife, that is to say, his mother is the third aunt's wife, and she is the kind of person who has no name.
Chen Tingyao has three wives, the eldest wife Guo Yao is the wife of the main house, Ming Media is marrying, and was born in a famous family, she can be said to be majestic and majestic at home, and she is also responsible for the big and small things in the family, and has the eldest son Chen Yixin 23, the eldest daughter Chen Huixin 21, the youngest son Chen Yide 18, and the young daughter Chen Huishan 15.
The second wife, Jiang Yan, said that she was a popular singer when she was young, and she was famous, and she only had one daughter, Chen Huiyu14.
The third wife, Ning Shujuan, has the eldest son Chen Yihua 14, the second son Chen Yisheng 12, and the youngest daughter Chen Huier 11.
As his mother, Chen Tingyao's third wife Ning Shujuan is very different from the identity of the previous two wives, Ning Shujuan was born in Magu, in the 70s, Magu is a very distinctive profession, and it is now commonly known as a nanny, but in the 70s, Magu has to tie up her braids and cannot marry anyone in her life, because of this, no matter how many people in the family and other brothers and sisters don't think much of Ning Shujuan's family.
Thinking of his current mother Ning Shujuan, although she is thirty-seven or eighteen, and she has given birth to three children, but her figure is still so slender, maybe because she has read books, although she was born poor, but her face still has a soft and luxurious temperament, Chen Yihua has always thought about it these days, this cheap old man is really a pervert, and he doesn't even let go of the nanny at home, and the rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest.
Chen Yihua thinks every time, maybe because his own mother Ning Shujuan is more beautiful than the eldest wife, Chen Tingyao's out-of-shaped, old-fashioned wife is especially unkind to see Chen Yihua's family.
"Ah Hua, I'm back, go upstairs to change my clothes, and we can eat later."
As soon as he walked into the hall of Chen's house, Chen Yihua saw his mother Ning Shujuan on the dining table with chopsticks on the table, while taking the tablet from the hands of the subordinates, busy coming and going.
Ning Shujuan's status at home has not been high, although she has not been reduced to washing clothes and cleaning toilets at home, but some light work has been done, and because Chen Tingyao has always liked the dishes she cooks, so let Ning Shujuan do the kitchen cooking, don't underestimate this work, there are twelve people in the family, this job is not easy at all.
"Mom, I'll help you" Seeing that Ning Shujuan was already sweating a little on her forehead, I don't know why, Chen Yihua suddenly felt a pain in his heart, Chen Yihua was just a soul crossing, and the spontaneous emotions of this body were not controlled by him at all.
"No, no, mom is busy coming here, you go and put down the books, change your clothes and hurry down, don't wait for you when you eat, that's not good" looked at the eldest son in front of him, although he looked ordinary, only fourteen years old, but his facial features were very upright, and he was more than one meter seven, tall and heroic, and he couldn't help but feel relieved when he thought of this. Although her son is not in the eyes of outsiders, Ning Shujuan will never feel that she has many children.
Since she got into the hospital in a fight some time ago, Ning Shujuan feels that her eldest son is a lot more sensible, he used to study badly, he often fought, and he refused to admit defeat at home, and was often punished by his eldest wife Guo Shao, but now he not only knows how to help himself, but also at home, even if his second brother Chen Yide provokes him, he will not contradict him, and he will not be impulsive.
"Ah, isn't this our big hero Magu Zai coming back, how about it, I heard that you went to St. Louis Middle School today to get your report card, is there any college willing to accept you" I saw an arrogant voice coming from the entrance of the building.
Said Cao Ying, Cao Ying, and arrived.
Hearing the voice, not only Ning Shujuan frowned, but even Chen Yihua subconsciously clenched his fists, and his heart was churning with anger, if you want to say who she hates the most in this family, it is Chen Yide in front of him, who is wearing a small dress, his hair is four or six open, and he is a man with a hair.
In the past few days, Chen Yihua has completely understood the virtue of the person in front of him, he doesn't think that a fight with his so-called second brother can solve the problem, and the experience of his previous life tells him that even if he is right, if he quarrels with his second brother, he will always suffer in the end.
It's no wonder that his predecessor was a little short-tempered, it can be said that half of the credit is due to the second brother in front of him, although many people in this family look down on their mother, but only the reassuring and bold Chaoning Shujuan in front of him, and the virtuous Chaoning Aunt in his mouth are called, just because of this, Chen Yihua has been on the same page with Chen Yide since he was a child.
And Chen Yihua has been able to fight since he was a child, every time Chen Yihua wants to do it, Chen Yide will play right and wrong, and Chen Tingyao's eldest wife Guo Shao will take the opportunity to beat him, if it weren't for Ning Shujuan begging hard every time, let Chen Yihua endure and endure again, Chen Yihua felt that his predecessor might have killed this second brother, and from his memory, he did feel that there were a few times when Chen Yihua almost couldn't help but kill someone.
Chen Tingyao is nominally his father, but he has been busy with his outside career, and all the big and small affairs in the family are handed over to the eldest wife Guo Shao to manage, and even if Ning Shujuan's surname suffers, she will not tell right and wrong in front of Chen Tingyao.
And Chen Tingyao for his third son, maybe because Guo Yao said too much bad things about Chen Yihua, Chen Tingyao didn't care much about him since he was a child, so even if Chen Yihua had any grievances, no one in the Chen family cared about Chen Yide.
Chen Yihua's eyes flashed and disappeared, knowing that as long as he didn't pick him up, Chen Yide wouldn't be able to hold his handle, and he couldn't do anything to him, Chen Yihua could only endure his anger, his hands were not slow, and he helped Ning Shujuan move the dishes.
looked at Chen Yihua again in surprise, Chen Yide has stimulated him a lot in the past few days, I didn't expect Chen Yihua's surname to be on fire at all, Chen Yide poked his nose stupidly, and froze for a while, "Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days, I've got a long ability, just your grades, see my father come back, how to explain" After speaking, he ignored Chen Yihua's reaction and left.
'Ah Hua' looked at his son who was packing up his things in front of him, knowing that his son's study was not good, Ning Shujuan frowned, and her eyes were worried.
'It's okay, Mom, don't worry,' Chen Yihua said with relief.
