七年，粵人梁雲漢等設肇興公司於倫敦，船政大臣黎兆棠實倡斯議。 In 1881 Cantonese merchants led by Liang Yunhan founded the Zhaoxing Company in London, at the instigation of Minister of Naval Affairs Li Zhaotang.

黎兆棠志在匡時，久有創立公司之議，盡心提倡，力為其難。 Li Zhaotang, devoted to national renewal, had long advocated founding a company and worked tirelessly to overcome the obstacles.
