Chapter 391 Madam, you must be having a tough time lately, right?

"Sister, we don't think we've met before, have we?"

Luo Zixi looked at the other person with a half-smile, knowing that such unsolicited kindness must have an ulterior motive.

Even if they weren't treacherous or thieves, they certainly had ulterior motives.

Luo Zixi could tell from the noblewoman's appearance that she must have encountered some difficulties recently and was probably looking for a breakthrough opportunity from her.

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, the other party immediately responded very politely:

“Miss Fei, my surname is Yun, and my husband is Fang Shihao, the third son of the Fang family.”

“My husband has always been interested in the media business, but he hasn’t found any good projects to cooperate with. Now that he heard that Ms. Fei has the idea of ​​starting a free newspaper, he came here to see if there is a chance to talk to Ms. Fei.”

“I think a woman as outstanding as Miss Fei would never start a project for no reason. So, we would like to participate as well, but we don’t know if we have the honor of joining Miss Fei’s project.”

Upon hearing the other party's words, Luo Zixi's mind raced, and she recalled the information about the Fang family.

The Fang family is also a wealthy family in Hong Kong, and their business scope is similar to that of the shipping magnate; they are the old-school shipping tycoons.

Back in the 1950s, the shipping magnate Bao hadn't achieved what he has today; the Fang family was the dominant force at the time.

At that time, the shipping magnate's business model was to lease ships long-term, leasing them out at relatively low prices for relatively long periods to collect rent.

Moreover, once a partnership is established, the shipping magnate is honest and trustworthy, and will steadfastly fulfill the contract.

However, the Fang family adopted a different approach, offering relatively high rents and short-term leases. At the time, they even said that the ship owner was foolish and didn't know how to do business, and that his business model was unsustainable and would soon lead to bankruptcy.

As a result, Bao's business thrived, carving out a path to success in the then-stabilized shipping market.

However, the Fang family's influence gradually waned, and their business deteriorated with each attempt.

Of course, even though the Fang family is not as prosperous as before, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and the family's foundation is still very deep.

They clung tightly to the shipping industry, unwilling to move ashore. But Fang Shih-hao, the third young master of the Fang family, felt that since even the shipping magnate had moved ashore, it was clear that he had seen the decline of shipping, and now the Fang family should also move ashore and transform into something else.

As a result, the family members were rather conservative, and the eldest brother, as the head of the family, completely ignored his advice.

They felt that the shipping magnate was cowardly and lacked courage, which was why he made such a decision.

As long as there is the sea, the shipping market will always exist; how could it possibly decline?

Perfect timing! Now that the shipping magnate is no longer in this business, they can quickly seize the vacated market share – this is a golden opportunity!

Suddenly, the Fang family members were filled with ambition, feeling that their chance to rise again had arrived. No one listened to the opinions of the third young master of the Fang family.

Fang Shih-hao also had a certain degree of foresight; he felt that this was inappropriate no matter what.

So he directly requested that his team be separated and run independently, as he wanted to invest in other projects!

However, after leaving the Fang family, without the support of the family, how easy is it to establish one's own independent business?

Fang Shih-hao's two elder brothers both felt that their younger brother was too much of a worry, and that at this time, the brothers should unite as one to overcome any obstacle. But Fang Shih-hao wanted to divide a portion of the family property and live separately; wasn't he just causing trouble for them?

The brothers had a lot of unpleasantness because of this, but in the end, the eldest brother of the Fang family still felt that it was right not to put all the eggs in one basket.

The second brother was a bit more aggressive; he thought they should put all their funds into the shipping market, and with the Fang family's foundation, they could definitely dominate the market.

After careful consideration, the clan decided to let the third son take some funds and establish his own household, but he shouldn't expect any support from the family.

Fang Shih-hao was a stubborn man, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed. So, after he and his wife, Yun Cai-die, separated from the Fang family, they went around looking for suitable projects.

Although Fang Shih-hao was stubborn, it didn't mean he was stupid. After searching for a while, he realized that his current situation was quite difficult, and no one was willing to cooperate with him.

Those willing to cooperate with him were all setting traps for him to fall into. He lived in constant fear, completely unsure of what to do next. He had some investment funds but no suitable projects, and he was incredibly anxious and frustrated.

Yun Caidie was also very anxious. Their Yun family was not a particularly powerful wealthy family. In Hong Kong, they could only be considered a third-rate wealthy family.

Some chain stores that sell seafood and dried goods don't offer much help to my husband.

She went to great lengths to get into this tea party for wealthy wives today.

Having finally managed to strike up a conversation with Luo Zixi, she hoped to join Luo Zixi's business empire through this method!

A strong intuition told her that her chance to defy fate lay in the beautiful woman in front of her!

Luo Zixi was also well aware that her current identity certainly carried considerable influence within the wealthy circles of Hong Kong.

However, because those people were not familiar with Luo Zixi, they knew that she was ruthless. But precisely because of this, they dared not easily cooperate with her, for fear of being scammed.

After all, the Chenxi Group, led by Luo Zixi, has always been quite assertive.

Anyone who dares to go against them will basically face a fierce counterattack.
