Zhao Shiluo, the Zhao family.

In the 1970s, Xiangjiang was a world-renowned international shipping center.

Global Shipping Baoyugang, Dong Haoyun, Wanbang Group Cao Wenjing and Huaguang Rail Industry Zhao Congyan are known as the "Four Kings of Xiangjiang". The four have the largest fleets in Xiangjiang. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to make money every day.

Those fleets transport not cargo, but ships of gold.

There is one person who is definitely "making great contributions" in the rise of the Zhao family, that is Zhao Shilou's father, Zhao Congyan, who is in his seventies this year.

In the year when feudal society ended, Zhao Congyan was born and later attended the Law School of Soochow University. He used to be a practicing lawyer for a period of time.

By the most difficult time in the 1940s, Lao Wang, under the control of the Japanese, established a puppet government. Zhao Congyan was disgusted with Wang's behavior and decided not to be a lawyer, so he left his legal book forever.

He said: "If you want to be a practicing lawyer, you must register. I didn't want to get involved in the political vortex, so I decided to change my business. After the war, the shipping business was booming, so I bought a large cargo ship, "Victoria Star", and started the shipping business."

From then on, Zhao seemed to have cheated.

On the road of growth, Zhao Congyan was full of confidence in choosing his career and future. By 1948, he had already started a family and had four sons and one daughter, and his family had a fortune of tens of millions of yuan.

At that time, Zhao Shisha was already in his teens.

One day that winter, he asked his wife and young daughter to fly to Xiangjiang, while he and his sons came here on the Victoria Star.

It has to be said that the "Victoria Star" is Zhao Congyan's lucky star, which brought him good luck to the Zhao family.

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

Compared with the Feng family, Zhou family, Gao family, Li family and other billionaires who have been in the foot of Taiping Mountain for 10 years, he is at most a middle class.

Zhao Congyan used the ship to run a business and then used the money he earned to buy more ships. At that time, Zhao Congyan usually purchased old ships with a history of 25 years. These ships were dilapidated and often needed repairs.

Zhao Congyan hired some crew members who had experience in sea repairing ships, so that his old ships could maintain normal driving.

Zhao Congyan said: "A ship must undergo inspection once a year and undergo special inspection every four years. If the crew performs repairs before the ship enters the dry dock, the ship may only take seven days instead of two weeks. This is the way for the owner to survive."

Soon, Huaguang Shipping Company, founded by him, owned 23 ships.

After that, due to the rapid development of re-export trade in Xiangjiang, which led to the shipping industry, Zhao Congyan seized the opportunity to develop and strengthen the fleet. By the 1970s, the fleet had grown to 63 ships, all of which were only three or four years old, and the company's operating profits also doubled.

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

Zhao Congyan's Huaguang Aviation Co., Ltd. and Huaguang Real Estate Co., Ltd. went public at this climax and became companies with public investment.

He used the funds he absorbed from the stock market to repay the debts he purchased from the new ships, reducing the burden of interest. When the stock was first listed, he had only eight ships and a load of 190,000 tons. In just three years, although the Hong Kong economy and aviation industry were not in good condition, it did not affect him at all.

The new ships of "Huaguang Aviation Industry" were still launched. In the summer of 1974, the "New Century Aviation Industry" was merged, causing the tonnage of "Huaguang Aviation Industry" to surge, exceeding the one-million-ton mark. By the beginning of 1975, the fleet of "Huaguang Aviation Industry" had 29 large ships, with the tonnage increasing by more than 4 times.

By the end of this year, the profit of 71 million yuan in one fiscal year was eye-catching.

His fleet consists of cargo ships and oil tankers, with an average of only 3 years of age. Some of them are new ships that have just left the factory, and those old ships have long been eliminated. His fleet is all leased by Japanese companies for a long time.

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

In 1975 alone, the total value of his real estate investment was more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars had been built. He built high-end villas, multi-story office buildings, parking lots, and popular cheap buildings.

Now, after nearly forty years of "hard management", the Zhao family has become a prominent family in the entire Xiangjiang River. It has a good relationship with other wealthy families in Xiangjiang and is in harmony with each other.

The Zhao family originated from the last part and now they are all noble.

As Zhao Congyan's children, as the most "famous" and "romantic" one, Zhao Shi's life was undoubtedly envious and jealous of countless people.

To a certain extent, he is the 1980s version of "Wang Sicong"!

An accidental activity made him fall in love with Ye Qingwen. For Zhao Shiluo, the woman he wanted to get and the woman he wanted to catch had not lost her hand so far.

In his eyes, Ye Qingwen is absolutely no exception!

In terms of his glorious record, Zhao Shiyu would never allow this woman to be his "obstruction". The more the other party "rejects", the stronger his interest will be. He is a man who is determined to be the "No. 1 player in Xiangjiang"!

Now, despite the women's heavy "resistance", they are not here to "Peninsula Hotel" obediently.

"Come on, Miss Ye, try it. The foie gras in this Peninsula hotel is the most famous in Xiangjiang." Looking at Ye Qingwen, who was resentful but "helpless", Zhao Shi rubbed his lips with a smug smile.

Hehe, so what if you don’t want to? You’re just having a meal with him.

Anyway, for Zhao Shiluo now, what he wants is not to "pursuing" Ye Qingwen, nor to have any real feelings, but to this woman is rare who dares to reject him so "strongly"!

What he wants is the sense of conquest!

As for the woman’s feelings afterwards and what she thinks in her heart, it’s nothing to do with him. He has long gone to find the next goal. Zhao Shili’s life creed is that he must never play with just one woman in his life.

He even taught his son: "If you change your girlfriend every day, you must not be addicted to one woman."

However, although Zhao Shi played with countless women, he never got married. He said: "The most important thing about my happiness in life is not to get married. After getting married, there will be so many years of happy days. Freedom and no one can take care of it. You can make new styles every day."

To him, Ye Qingwen was just a small "stop" in his journey in life.

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