He Wenzhou, 31, founder of a tea brand. A former investment banker, he gave it all up to return to Anxi and make tea. His family considers him a rebel. He's gentle and polished, but ruthless in business, and never lets anyone see his weaknesses.

"Have you been waiting for me to say something first?"
