What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
During the Republican period, the polarization in society can be said to be very serious. Rich people are very rich, and poor people are so poor that they can't afford to eat. During the Republic of China period, the national economy has made progress and development to a certain extent, and some people can also get rich and have a strong family business, so there is no shortage of rich second generations in the Republic of China period, and today we will walk into the son of Sheng Xuanhuai, the son of sheng Xuanhuai, the richest son in the Republic of China period, to see what his life is like and what the final outcome is.
When it comes to the losers in the Republic of China period, the fourth elder of the Sheng family must be on the list. The fourth elder of the Sheng family can be said to be the number one rich second generation in the Republic of China period. His father was Sheng Xuanhuai, the richest man in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, who had never worried about eating and wearing since he was born, not to say that he was born with a golden spoon but with a diamond. The reason why Sheng Xuanhuai was rich was because he began to build offices and factories at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, and Sheng Xuanhuai supported the establishment of factories at that time, so large enterprises in that period were founded by Sheng Xuanhuai. Most of these large enterprises belong to the state, and Sheng Xuanhuai can get a lot of benefits in the operation of the enterprise, and the amount of money when he liquidates his property after death is staggering.
Sheng Xuanhuai had a total of four children, but the first three died early, leaving only the fourth elder of the Sheng family, who inherited most of Sheng Xuanhuai's property. Someone helped Sheng Laosi settle the account, even if Sheng Laosi did nothing in this life, he would live only on his father's assets without worrying about eating and wearing. Not only that, he could also take a basket of silver dollars to the street every day and throw it casually, and he didn't have to worry about throwing it away until he died. Such financial resources are indeed beyond our imagination.
There is Sheng Xuanhuai for Sheng Laosi, and the degree of defeat of Sheng Laosi is lamentable. The first Mercedes-Benz car in Chinese history was bought by Sheng Laosi and replaced the license plate with silver. He likes beautiful people, Sheng Laosi has a group of aunts, he is very generous to his aunts, each will be equipped with high-end bungalows, with drivers, with servants. In addition to lust, sheng laosi's greater characteristic is good gambling, but sometimes there are many people who are not good at losing, once gambling money with the son of the warlord Lu Yongxiang, and it took only one night to lose a hundred houses in the family to the son of the warlord Lu Yongxiang.
After the founding of New China, Sheng Laosi lost most of the family property left by his father. In particular, new China had to pay land tax on real estate, and sheng laosi's final property was only the property left by his father, but it was confiscated because he could not pay the land tax. But the poverty of the rich and the poverty of the poor are not the same concept, the poverty of the rich is only less luxurious than before, and the poor are really poor enough to sell all their property, even to sell their wives and children. Therefore, even if Sheng Laosi lost everything, there was still a Sheng Family Ancestral Hall left for him in the end, and he also spent his last days in the Sheng Family Ancestral Hall.
