Past Like Smoke: In 1998, Shentong founder Nie Tengfei died after crashing through the expressway guardrail, and his wife Chen Xiaoying cashed out 14.6 billion and married her husband's driver.
In 1998, Shentong founder Nie Tengfei died after crashing through the expressway guardrail. His wife, Chen Xiaoying, subsequently cashed out 14.6 billion and married her husband's driver before investing in Tiantian Express to make him president, and the two began to live a happy life together. On that winter morning in 1998, a young entrepreneur, only 25 years old yet already having established the largest private express network in the Yangtze River Delta, planned to visit an important client in Ningbo. Unlike usual, his full-time driver Xi Chunyang called in sick that day, claiming he was "not feeling well and couldn't drive." With no other choice, Nie Tengfei chose to drive himself, but during high-speed driving, the vehicle suddenly lost control, broke through the barrier, and crashed into the roadside woods, resulting in his death on the spot.
