Shanghai Tang: Starting Out as a Coachman and Becoming a Wealthy Man All the Way

Chen Guangliang traveled to Shanghai in 1927 and became a rickshaw driver at the bottom of the Zhabei shanty town. He accepts his fate but does not accept poverty. He runs two more hours every day, takes the initiative to solicit customers, reads newspapers, and practices English. He earns a net profit of 70 cents a day in a month - but he is getting further and further away from buying a car. The owner of the car dealership is hiding his secret in his smile. The issuance of license plates for the concession has long been stopped, and one ticket can be fetched up to 200 yuan. He gritted his teeth and returned the deposit, spent five yuan to buy a Chinese tunic suit, and broke into the Transportation Section of the Ministry of Works. Li Chao, the clerk, wanted to send him away, but he uttered two sentences in foreign language and offered an olive branch with his backhand: "Mr. Li, are you interested in doing business together?" Li Chao was stunned - the one hundred and fifty yuan license license was never mentioned to outsiders. What's even more surprising is that Chen Guangliang still carried the detailed outline of Luo Tuo Xiangzi in his arms, and sold it to university professor Zhang Qihua for two hundred yuan. From being a coolie pulling a cart, to saving money, recruiting people to work, and getting a license plate - this seventeen-year-old young man is getting up from the bottom of the quagmire. There is no shortage of careerists in Shanghai, but there is a shortage of people who are both courageous and able to see the way forward. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
