Zhao Chen used his knowledge of the coming crisis to invest in Sanjiang Shopping, borrow against his Henglong stake, and build a short position as Henglong’s debts came under scrutiny. The arc left him staying at his father’s villa, where Su Wantang’s kindness and private struggles complicated his resolve.
Zhao Chen used Zhao Jianguo’s arrest and Henglong’s financial crisis to secure control of the company while building a Bitcoin position and leaning on support from Su Wantang and Shen Zhiyi. The arc ended with Zhao Chen studying a report that exposed Henglong’s severe debts and hidden liabilities.
Zhao Chen halted new land investment, tightened Henglong Group’s guarantees, and planned financing and publicity measures against its financial risks and internal opponents. He expanded his personal investments and brought Su Wantang into his office, while preparing for the fallout from Zhao Jianguo’s criminal investigation and a performance disclosure to reassure investors.
Zhao Chen moved to expose Henglong’s hidden liabilities, cut its debt, and prepare a rights issue while Lin Wanqing challenged the strategy through the threat of bank loan suspensions. After a New Year break with Su Wantang and Shen Zhiyi, Zhao Chen faced a task force report offering two paths for Henglong’s financing.
Zhao Chen pushed Henglong’s rights issue through resistance from Lin Wanqing while facing conflict with Zhao Jianguo and helping Su Wantang end her marriage. The Whitewash Waiver passed, clearing the final procedural obstacle to the issue.
Zhao Chen secured control of Henglong through the rights issue, using Bitcoin proceeds to fund his subscriptions and Shen Zhiyi’s 5% stake. After scrutiny of his funds and relationship with Shen Zhiyi, regulators cleared the issue, and the stretch ended with Zhao Chen beginning a speech at Zhengfa University.
Zhao Chen tightened Henglong’s audits while preparing to confront Lin Wanqing and protect Zhao Jianguo’s pledged shares. Lin’s public allegations turned the dispute into a media storm, and Zhao Chen arranged to take over his father’s shares as the arc ended with a plan to secure the transfer.
Zhao Chen secured control of Henglong while Lin Wanqing and short sellers tried to drive down its stock. Shen Jue’s intervention triggered a squeeze that ended in a negotiated closeout, though Zhao Chen was left wondering what she had really wanted.
Zhao Chen stabilized Henglong, won approval for a new board and sold its property management business to Jiahe Assets for 2.6 billion yuan. As the sale drove Henglong’s share price to a record high and sparked debate over its value, Zhao Chen continued preparing a pig-farming investment and arranged the transfer of his father’s shares.

Zhao Chen negotiated government support and acquired Haoyu Construction, then restarted its projects while preparing to pressure Lin Wanqing and Lu Shen. The arc left Haoyu operating again and Zhao Chen anticipating Eagle Group’s worsening financial troubles.
Zhao Chen pushed Henglong to clear inventory and strengthen its finances while preparing for investment opportunities and restructuring Haoyu’s projects. Lu Shen later attacked Henglong through short selling and public accusations, but Zhao Chen rallied his allies and left the stock-market battle poised for a decisive turn.
Zhao Chen forced Lu Shen to cover his Henglong short, then sold his Bitcoin holdings near the market peak and escaped the crash. With billions in proceeds to invest, he planned new stock purchases and rewarded Chen Xi and Zhang Qingxue before Shen Jue called him by name.
Zhao Chen secured Henglong’s investment in Yunnan Agriculture Group and then pursued a stake in Bubble Mary, using Mololoy’s overseas rights as leverage. Wang An resisted giving him influence over the company and prepared to negotiate with him alone.

Zhao Chen transformed Henglong into an investment platform, built major positions in Shunxin Agriculture, Tongce Medical, and Pianzaihuang, and cleared an insider-trading investigation. After realizing gains on Shunxin Agriculture, he turned Henglong’s attention toward Bidiya as Shen Zhiyi chose to pursue her own career.
Chen Xi built Henglong Capital’s positions in Bidiya and other companies while Zhao Chen profited from Tesla put options and secured a leading investment in SpaceX. Henglong’s property discounts and investment gains reshaped its public image, as Zhao prepared for further growth in baijiu and technology holdings.
