History of Hengshan moller villa Hotel

In 1859, Nils Moller, a British Jew, founded Saici Foreign Firm in Shanghai, acting as a shipping agent, and later purchased ships to carry out transportation. In 1913, his son, Eric Moller, inherited his father's business, and the company's business was further developed. By 192, it had 17 marine vessels and became the first richest man in Shanghai. In order to overhaul the ship regularly, he founded Mahler Machine Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, with more than 2, workers at most. This is the predecessor of Hudong Shipyard.
