At the age of 86, Mr. Zhao Shizeng walked vigorously, energetically and energetically. He wears clothes from luxury brands and is surrounded by many radiant beauties. Mr. Zhao Shizeng stared at them with a smile on his face, intoxicated by their graceful posture.
The sun was shining, giving Mr. Zhao Shizeng's old face more warmth and peace. He looks like a young business magnate, indulging in glitz and luxury.
However, the years are not forgiving, and even the blessed Mr. Zhao Shizeng cannot resist the ruthless erosion of time. In the first half of this year, a video about Mr. Zhao Shizeng taken by a netizen in a shopping mall sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Mr. Zhao Shizeng in the video is emaciated, and his former demeanor is gone. Netizens have speculated whether it is because of over-indulgence of their desires, which has led to the deterioration of their physical condition? Some people are full of emotion, even the richest people cannot escape the cycle of life after all.
However, Mr. Zhao Shizeng did not care about these rumors. He still retains the romantic demeanor of Thomas Crown III, always surrounded by beautiful female partners.
His mansion is filled with the luxury of drunkenness, like a modern version of a king, still enjoying the supreme privileges that only ancient emperors could have.
According to Mr. Zhao Shizeng himself, the number of girlfriends in his life has exceeded five figures. At the peak of his career, he had a staggering 172 girlfriends a year and 30 daily dates, a number that surpassed the size of any beauty pageant in Hong Kong.
For Mr. Zhao Shizeng, women are undoubtedly the greatest source of joy in his life.
Mr. Zhao Shizeng's achievements and wealth today actually stem from his challenge to authority and indulgence in lust when he was young.
As the third son of Zhao Congyan, the king of ships, Mr. Zhao Shizeng was regarded as a burden to the family from an early age and could not bear the heavy responsibilities. In contrast, Mr. Zhao Congyan has high hopes for his eldest son Zhao Shipeng and fourth son Zhao Shiguang.
In particular, Zhao Shiguang, who was appointed vice chairman of the family business Huaguang, is very likely to become Huaguang's heir in the future.
However, what is amazing is that Zhao Shizeng himself only held a seemingly insignificant low-level position in Huaguang! Under such circumstances, Zhao Congyan had to strictly discipline him and be vigilant at all times in order to prevent his son from ruining the family foundation because of his momentary rash behavior.
There is no doubt that Zhao Shizeng showed strong personality traits from an early age - lustful and rebellious. He was keen to use his family's influence to make girlfriends when he was in school, which made Zhao Congyan, as his father, feel troubled.
Perhaps it was precisely because of his dissatisfaction and rebellion against patriarchy that the young and vigorous Zhao Shizeng decided to show his talent, so in 1988, he resolutely founded "Far Eastern Wool Fiber".
This move laid a solid foundation for the later Zhuo Neng Group, and with his keen insight and outstanding wisdom, Zhao Shizeng quickly rose to prominence in the real estate industry and became another real estate giant in Hong Kong after Li Ka-shing.
At the same time, however, Zhao Congyan's family business, Huaguang, is in trouble. First, Wah Kwong was at risk of bankruptcy due to the impact of the oil crisis, and then a dispute over property within the family nearly fell apart.
Although Huaguang was able to barely survive thanks to the efforts of his second son, Zhao Shiguang, it was no longer comparable to Zhao Shizeng's Zhuo Neng Group.
Undoubtedly, it was the challenge of patriarchy and the indulgence of desire in his youth that made Zhao Shizeng's brilliant achievements in the business world in the future.
While his career was booming, Zhao Shizeng was also intoxicated with the extravagant life of the flower world. According to relevant information, at the peak of his career, Zhao Shizeng would maintain close contact with an average of 172 women every year.
In addition, he even dates more than 30 people every day, and it is no exaggeration to say that the scale of the entire Hong Kong beauty pageant cannot be compared with Zhao Shizeng's once dating pageant.
For Zhao Shizeng, women are undoubtedly the greatest source of pleasure in his life. As long as he is tempted at a glance, he doesn't care about the other party's background or social status, and the only measure is beauty and youth.
Zhao Shizeng's aesthetic vision for women is first-class, and every woman he has dated is a well-known and outstanding-looking beauty in the entertainment industry.
Among them, for Zhao Shizeng, the indelible great contribution is the enthusiastic introduction of his close friend Mr. Run Run Shaw. Looking at the glorious moment in 1977, just as the peerless TVB female star Yao Wei emerged, Zhao Shizeng was deeply impressed when he saw her for the first time, and under the bait of money, Yao Wei quickly fell into the love trap he carefully weaved.
However, due to the emergence of fertility problems, this relationship failed to achieve positive results after all. Yao Wei gave birth to a daughter Zhao Shizhi for him, but it has not yet been publicly recognized by Zhao Shizeng and has become his veritable wife.
In fact, Zhao Shizeng has always maintained a cautious attitude towards marriage, fearing that once he enters the marriage hall, he may face the risk of property division. He once said bluntly: "The women who try to marry me are all attracted to my wealth, and their ultimate goal is nothing more than wanting to share my wealth."
Therefore, he would rather be alone for the rest of his life than be bound by marriage.
Because of this, whether it is Yao Wei, Cai Zhenni or Holladay, Zhao Shizeng resolutely refuses to enter the palace of marriage even if he truly loves them. Although in that sweet time, Holladay gave birth to his third child, Zhao Shizheng, and the two were once rumored to be about to enter the marriage hall, but in everyone's expectations, Zhao Shizeng finally firmly chose to break up with her.
It can be seen that for Zhao Shizeng, prevention is better than cure is his most important life creed. Although he was profligate in his emotional life, in order to avoid the loss of family property, he was even willing to sacrifice his feelings and divorce his beloved.
Although he is casual and free in his love life, in the business world, Zhao Shizeng has shown extraordinary wisdom and calmness. When his children such as Zhao Shizhi and Zhao Shihao gradually became cynical gentlemen, Zhao Shizeng himself stayed away from a luxurious life, and was still decisive and steady in the operation and management of the company.
Perhaps it is based on such rational thinking that although Zhao Shizeng was reluctant to stay away from marriage, he still had a unique vision, and finally decided to hand over the huge family business to his eldest daughter Zhao Shizhi to take care of.
Initially, the birth of Zhao Shizhi brought a lot of trouble to Zhao Shizeng. When Yao Wei was pregnant, Zhao Shizeng ruthlessly asked her to have an abortion, but Yao Wei resolutely chose to give birth to Zhao Shizhi.
During this period, Yao Wei repeatedly tried to use marriage as a bargaining chip, trying to force Zhao Shizeng to agree to give him a title, but Zhao Shizeng resolutely refused to give in and stubbornly resisted all threats.
Time passed, and in the long years, Zhao Shizhi registered as a legal husband and wife with the homosexual Yang Ruxin in a foreign country, which undoubtedly made Zhao Shizeng deeply ashamed and embarrassed.
In order to let his daughter regain her belief in love, Zhao Shizeng even did not hesitate to publicly promise in front of the public that as long as any man can win Zhao Shizhi's heart, he will not hesitate to give 500 million yuan as a generous reward.
On the surface, he seems to be generous, but in fact he is motivated by personal desires. For Zhao Shizeng, who is sitting on billions of assets, 500 million yuan is really not enough. His real intention is actually to hope that his daughter can return to the right path and live a decent life.
However, even when Zhao Shizhi finally chose to spend the rest of his life with a same-sex partner, Zhao Shizeng still calmly accepted this fact. Because in his eyes, the most important question is whether he can find a suitable heir to inherit and manage his huge family business.
After a long period of investigation and evaluation, Zhao Shizeng found that the talent of his eldest daughter Zhao Shizhi far exceeded that of his two sons. Therefore, when he entered old age and needed to relieve himself of the heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, he naturally handed over the company to Zhao Shizhi to take full control.
There is no doubt that this is entirely based on Zhao Shizeng's rational judgment of his career, and not any other factors. For him, the prosperity of the family business is the most important thing, and his personal emotional life takes a back seat.
It is because of this concept that although Zhao Shizeng pursued beauty all his life, in the end he still made a wise decision to entrust the family business to the most powerful Zhao Shizhi.
