In 2009, Li Zhaohui, the heir of Haixin Steel Group, accidentally saw a photo of a girl in a magazine, the girl in the photo was cold and her eyes were cut. Li Zhaohui was immediately picked up.
Once inquired, the girl in the photo is the actor Che Xiao. As it happens, Jackie Chan just happened to have a cooperation with Li Zhaohui's company. Therefore, Li Zhaohui threw 2 million yuan and invited Jackie Chan to eat a meal, just to see Che Xiao's side.
After that, Li Zhaohui began to use various sugar-coated artillery shell trucks to smash Che Xiao. Million-dollar luxury cars, limited-edition diamond necklaces, and high-end fancy romances that only appear in movies.
Soon, Che Xiao fell.
In 2010, Li Zhaohui spent 50 million yuan to hold a Chinese-style wedding comparable to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The wedding was attended by 20,000 people, 9,999 lanterns were tied along the way, 200 luxury cars were welcomed, and 600 tables were served.
Such a big pomp and circumstance did not affect the two men's parting ways a year later.
After the divorce, Li Zhaohui was infatuated with the Internet celebrity Cheng Yuanyuan and spent tens of millions of dollars for him to win the female number one of "The Great Gold Robbery", just to make her smile.
It can be said that the speed at which Li Zhao will lose money has reached the level of chasing the wind and chasing electricity.
In just a few years, Li Zhaohui lost more than 10 billion family properties, from the "richest man" in Shanxi to the "first loser", and he was also known as "china's first loser in contemporary times".
Speaking of losers, in the Republic of China, there is a more loser than Li Zhaohui.
He lost more than a hundred buildings in Shanghai in one night, a horse he raised could feed ordinary people for a month a day, and his aunt wore a diamond ring that started at four carats.
He once said: "The last thing I lack is money and women." ”
Endless money, countless women, countless illegitimate children.
He is sheng enyi, the "first loser of the Republic of China", the plus of the proper losers.
His life was wild and wild.
In 1892, the reincarnated little master Sheng Enyi arrived at the Sheng family.
His father, Sheng Xuanhuai, was the richest man in the Republic of China, also an official and a businessman, with a left-handed abacus and a right-handed official seal, and once created 11 "China's firsts".
Therefore, the Sheng family is a typical magnate, to what extent, even Song Qingling's mother has to come to their house as a maid.
Not only that, Sheng Enyi's name was given by Empress Dowager Cixi herself, which means "being nurtured by Grace".
With such a preference, the Sheng family is afraid that it is the only one.
In fact, Sheng Enyi was the fourth boy in the family, not the concubine of zheng'er Bajing, but his three brothers above him fell ill and died, and Sheng Enyi naturally became the successor of the Sheng family.
Therefore, Sheng Enyi, as the only concubine in the family, almost gathered the favor of everyone in the family.
Mothers are precious. Sheng Enyi's birth also brought power and hilarity to her mother, Lady Zhuang. Because of him, his father directly handed over the management of the "Sheng family compound" to his mother.
In a sense, this is a kind of shelter for Sheng Enyi.
It is no exaggeration to say that Sheng Enyi is the lifeblood of the Sheng family.
Sheng Enyi was born on the front foot, and Sheng Xuanhuai's back foot could not wait to give the Suzhou Lingering Garden to Sheng Enyi as a private residence. This wave of manipulation seems to be nakedly favored.
But this was not enough, in order to let him receive a state-of-the-art education, Sheng Xuan spent a lot of money to send him to the University of London in the United Kingdom and Columbia University in the United States.
Afraid that he could not learn English on the ground, Sheng Xuanhuai also specially found a daughter-in-law for him.
In Sheng Xuanhuai's eyes, the one who can match his son must also be the top stream.
The girl he fancied was Sun Yonghui, the daughter of Sun Baoqi, the premier of the Republic of China.
Sun Yonghui is a leader among women, proficient in English, French, Russian and other Chinese, and is a powerful translator under Cixi.
Afraid that Sun Baoqi would not agree, Sheng Xuanhuai also personally prepared a rich dowry for his daughter-in-law to express the attitude of the Sheng family.
The foundation of the institution of higher learning, the companion of Kochi, the road to the peak, Sheng Xuanhuai paved the way for his son. Sheng Enyi only needed to take a few steps step by step.
But just a few simple steps, Sheng Enyi walked arrogantly and did whatever he wanted.
Tolstoy said, "It is sad to have no money, and it is doubly sad to have excess money." ”
To be rich is a blessing, and to be too rich is a curse.
Sheng Enyi, who grew up in a honeypot since childhood, did not have the opportunity to feel any human suffering, nor did he know what to ask for. Therefore, his happiness is to constantly unlock various new models of showing off wealth.
He does two things every day, one is to spend money, and the other is to spend money.
During the study abroad period, Sheng Enyi did not learn any techniques, slept until he woke up naturally every day, and when he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by different women.
After returning to China, in order to become the most beautiful boy on the streets of Shanghai, Sheng Enyi spent a lot of money to buy Shanghai's first imported Mercedes-Benz, and then he asked someone to plate a thick layer of silver on the body and engrave his name on it.
Not only that, he also got a license plate numbered "4444" to tell passers-by: Sheng Lao Si is coming, how far to flash and how far.
Sheng Enyi used his strength to interpret the set of cunning children.
What's more, Sheng Enyi completely disregarded Sun Yonghui's decency and spent time outside, and he also blatantly married 11 aunts and wives within a year, and equipped each aunt with high-end villas, luxury cars and hordes of servants. The combined number of these servants was more than two hundred.
The aunts and wives are not fuel-efficient lamps, either clamoring to buy a five-carat diamond ring, or buying an imported car.
At that time in Shanghai, there was a popular saying: "The Sheng family is a paradise for women." ”
In this way, the women around Sheng Enyi were like blowing bubbles, one after another.
There are more women, and there are naturally more illegitimate children, and almost every month, there are women holding children to come to the door to recognize their fathers.
Seeing that his son who had been cultivating wholeheartedly was so decadent and extravagant, Sheng Xuan was confused.
Subsequently, Sheng Xuan took precautions and founded the "Sheng's Yizhuang", and took out half of the family property and existed in the "Sheng's Yizhuang" in case of occasional needs for future generations.
In 1916, Sheng Xuanhuai died of illness, and the glory of the Sheng family reached its peak in this year, after which, the prosperity of the Sheng family began to decline off a cliff.
And Sheng Xuanhuai's funeral, which was comparable to the royal standard, also became the last dignity of the Sheng family.
After Sheng Xuanhuai left, Sheng Enyi took over hanyeping company without suspense. But without ink in his chest, he had no intention of running the company at all, but took a step forward and began a free and comprehensive career of wild waves.
Tired of playing with women, Sheng Enyi found a new pleasure: smoking a big cigarette.
Every day, he lay on the bed, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, and that ethereal happiness made Sheng Enyi seem to float up to the sky.
For Sheng Enyi, smoking big cigarettes is the main business, and the office is carried.
Therefore, people can often see a young man in his twenties and thirties, leaning over a cigarette and flipping through documents like a dragonfly. That figure was like a giant baby wrapped in a bottle.
The big smoke was full, Sheng Enyi began to lie flat, slept until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the good day began.
The lights are red and green, the paper is drunk and gold fans, and the old four of the Sheng family are online.
In the casino outside Shanghai Beach, there are two crazy people, one is Sheng Enyi, and the other is Lu Xiaojia, the son of the Anhui warlord Lu Yongxiang.
The contest between rich people is always incompatible with money. Because they are rich, only money is left.
Lu Xiaojia opened a bottle of foreign wine, Sheng Enyi opened twenty bottles, Lu Xiaojia gave a tip of one thousand yuan to the woman, and Sheng Enyi gave ten thousand.
Lu Xiaojia raised a famous horse, Sheng Enyi directly got a horse farm, 75 healthy famous horses, each worth thousands of gold, Sheng Enyi also hired professionals to take care of the horses with high salaries, and a horse can feed ordinary people for a month a day.
Sheng Enyi did this, not for anything else, just to tease Lu Xiaojia, and he wanted to prove with strength that Sheng Enyi was also rich and chic.
Tit-for-tat two losers always unlock the rich kid's most advanced gameplay in one provocation after another.
In order to end this game of showmanship, the two finally decided to compete in the casino.
Betting on cash is not addictive, they bet on women, betting on women is not exciting enough, they directly on the map to circle the land and gamble.
In this way, Sheng Enyi lost more than a hundred buildings in Shanghai in one night.
Sheng Enyi, who lost money, not only did not restrain himself, but also made a big fuss: "The last thing I lack is money." ”
But people are like round mirrors, too desirable and high-profile often lurking with brokenness and disaster.
A hundred years of entrepreneurship, a day of failure.
The infinite glory of the Sheng family was stepped out step by step by Sheng Xuanhuai, but in sheng Enyi's hands, it was destroyed in pieces.
Seeing that the family property was destroyed to the end, Sheng Enyi began to play the idea of "Sheng's Righteous Village".
"Sheng's Yizhuang" is the last guarantee left by Sheng Xuanhuai to future generations, if not extravagant, Sheng's Yizhuang's interest is enough to feed future generations for a lifetime.
But the extravagant Sheng Enyi could not pass the fireworks of ordinary people's homes at all.
Therefore, after the death of his mother, Sheng Enyi began to divide the last cake of the Sheng family.
Giants have no affection. In order to get more money, Sheng Enyi actually joined hands with his nephews to divide up the inheritance left by his father to his sister.
And his sister Sheng Aiyi sued her brother in court in a fit of rage, and since then, Sheng Enyi has become a big joke in the Circle of Shanghai Nobles.
Sheng Enyi, who had once been a wild wave, could never go back.
But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and if Sheng Enyi stops wandering, his future will still be a distant dream for ordinary people.
But Sheng En Yi is not partial, casinos, song halls, women, big smoke, Sheng En Yi has never stopped.
When the money ran out, he began to sell antiques and good land, the fixed assets were sold out, he began to sell pens, ink and paper, there was really nothing to sell, he began to sell his clothes and shoes.
He thought of selling his ancestral home, but before he could get started, the property in his hand was confiscated due to changes in national policies. In the end, only an ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestral tablets remained, and this ancestral hall became the only place for Sheng Enyi to live.
Since then, the Sheng family has completely declined.
Taking off the shell of the Sheng family and the blessing of money, Sheng Enyi began to despair.
Sheng Enyi's life, the most skillful is to spend money, spending money for him, is work. Suddenly, one day, the money was gone, and Sheng Enyi was unemployed.
However, the lives that he had consumed excessively could no longer be picked up.
His father was the richest man in the country, his father-in-law was the prime minister of the Republic of China, and once, money and power were only a few steps away from Sheng Enyi, who had to live as a crab by strength, seemingly rampaging, but never moved forward.
Therefore, the high and wide who had once been wild and the waves were extremely high, but in the end they became an inferior beggar.
On the streets of Shanghai, similar lights, the same person, but two completely different lives.
In 1958, at the age of 66, Sheng Enyi starved to death in the ancestral hall of the Lingering Garden, ironically, his greatest wish before his death was to eat a bite of meat.
Throughout Sheng Enyi's life, he really did a lot of ups and downs.
He had come and gone among countless women, but had never had love. He blossomed everywhere, had countless children, but did not know what responsibility was. He has unlimited scenery and a wide world, but in front of life, he is a giant baby.
And ordinary people, in Vanity Fair, have no crazy capital, nor the right to wave, but they have a joy in their hearts, because in the lights of thousands of homes, there is always a lamp that belongs to themselves, close the door, chai rice oil and salt are complete, family and children are safe, is the most solid warmth.
Therefore, life follows the law of conservation of energy. If you double what you get in some places, you will definitely double down on what you lose somewhere. In the ups and downs of life, we will eventually find that three meals a day, plain and plain, is the richest quiet and calm.
