The term "scumbag" has only become widespread in recent years. But in Chinese history, there have been such people in all dynasties and generations. They are inattentive, play with other people's feelings, irresponsible, and really infuriating. Today, the scumbag I want to introduce is from the Republic of China period, he was a gentleman, but in his later years he became a beggar and froze to death on the street. This person is Tang Jishan, a famous rich merchant in the Republic of China.
Tang Jishan, born in Shanghai in 1896, graduated from Nanyang College in Shanghai and went to study in Britain. In 1916, after graduating and returning to China, Tang Jishan invited some relatives to raise 100,000 yuan in the name of her father Tang Qiaoqing to set up a Chinese tea company, and Tang Jishan was the actual host. Huacha Company is the earliest and largest Chinese tea export bank in China, but because it has not opened sales channels at the beginning, 100,000 yuan was quickly exhausted. In 1920, the Huacha Company was operated by Tang Qiaoqing alone. Under the efforts of Tang Jishan, Hua Tea Company established contact with a large importer specializing in tea in the United States, but the sales channels were still not opened.
In 1923, Huacha Company was reorganized into a limited company again, with a capital of 100,000 yuan, the Tang family accounted for 80%, and Tang Jishan became the general manager. Huacha Company set up its own tea numbers in many places, purchased Mao tea, and opened tea factories in Shanghai for processing, and then gradually opened up the export situation. As a result, Huacha Company has gradually gained a foothold. At its best, The Chinese Tea Company once expanded to Africa. After years of hard work, Tang Jishan's value rose and she became the richest man in the Republic of China at that time, known as the "Tea King". After that, Tang Jishan began to invest in cinemas, but he had feelings with three famous movie stars.
The first is the first "movie queen" Zhang Zhiyun, in order to open up the Us market, Tang Jishan concealed the fact that she already had a wife, and began to launch an emotional offensive against Zhang Zhiyun, who was not familiar with the world. Later, he warmly invited Zhang Zhiyun to speak for his tea, and Zhang Zhiyun went to the United States with Tang Jishan and gave up his career for this reason. However, when Tang Jishan found that this move did not bring about an increase in sales, he gave Zhang Zhiyun a sum of money and abandoned her fiercely. Later, Zhang Zhiyun wanted to return to the film world, but he had long been forgotten by people, and he had to spend the rest of his life in poverty.
The second is Ruan Lingyu, who is well known to everyone. When the 36-year-old Tang Jishan met the 22-year-old Ruan Lingyu, she was immediately impressed by her temperament. Under the pursuit of Tang Jishan, Ruan Lingyu did not hesitate to divorce her husband, despite the persuasion of others, and was with Tang Jishan. However, it turned out that Tang Jishan's treatment of Ruan Lingyu was only a temporary novelty. Soon, Ruan Lingyu found that Tang Jishan was still outside and weeds, and she cried bitterly for this. Eventually, 25-year-old Ruan Lingyu committed suicide by taking sleeping pills.
The third is the shadow queen Wang Shi's family, she has just divorced and met Tang Jishan, after 2 years together, the Wang Shi family married Tang Jishan. The difference is that after the Wang Shi family learned of Tang Jishan's affair outside, she warned Tang Jishan several times without success, so she took her son to Hong Kong and then returned to Taiwan to start a business. At this time, Tang Jishan was 63 years old, perhaps karma, Tang Jishan's later career has been declining, and it did not take long to be in debt, and the richest man in the Republic of China eventually became a beggar and froze to death on the street, ending his absurd life.
