The Fok Ying Tung family's case of competing for family property has made many people pay attention to the Hong Kong giants again. Hong Kong giants really have never lacked dog blood. In fact, seeing the current situation of the Fok Ying Tung family, I have to say that Li Ka-shing is really smart.
When Li Ka-shing retired, a reporter asked Li Ka-shing when he would marry Zhou Kaixuan? As a result, Li Ka-shing was angry. Li Ka-shing and Zhou Kaixuan met in 1994, and the relationship between the two people has long been tacit. Li Ka-shing never recognized Zhou Kaixuan's status, but the two were very close and often held hands and went out together.
Zhou Kaixuan now lives only a few minutes' drive from Li Ka-shing's mansion. Why Li Ka-shing did not marry Zhou Kaixuan, in fact, is very simple, if Li Ka-shing married Zhou Kaixuan, then the separation of the family is more complicated. Li Ka-shing originally had only two sons, if he married Zhou Kaixuan, would he have children with Zhou Kaixuan?
Even if you don't have children, do you want to split up your family to Give Zhou Kaixuan in the future? In addition, Li Ka-shing is 33 years older than Zhou Kaixuan, if Li Ka-shing walks in front, will Li Zeju and Li Zekai take care of Zhou Kaixuan? These questions are certainly very complex. The children of rich people such as Ho Hung-sun, Fok Ying-tung, Lin Baixin, and Qiu Degen competed for family property because they had too many wives and too many children.
Li Ka-shing is a smart man, and he doesn't want this to happen to his family. In 1990, Li Ka-shing's original partner, Zhuang Yueming, died in Hong Kong, causing a sensation. After many years, some people have always thought that Zhuang Yueming's death is not simple. In fact, for Zhuang Yueming, she probably should not have listened to her parents and married her cousin Li Ka-shing.
Zhuang Yueming and Li Ka-shing are actually cousins, and in 1963, at the age of 32, Zhuang Yueming married Li Ka-shing, 35. Zhuang Yueming's father, Zhuang Jing'an, was Li Ka-shing's uncle and a famous king of clocks and watches in Hong Kong.
Li Ka-shing came to Hong Kong at the age of 7, when Zhuang Jing'an's career was already very successful, and Li Ka-shing's family was able to avoid sleeping on the street thanks to Zhuang Jing'an's help. Li Ka-shing and Zhuang Yueming grew up together, but the economic gap between the Li family and the Zhuang family is too large.
Li Ka-shing's father died when he was 14 years old, and then he went to society to make money to support his family, and it was not until the age of 22 that he began to start his own business. Many people say that Zhuang Jing'an opposed Zhuang Yueming's marriage to Li Ka-shing because he did not look up to Li Ka-shing and felt that Li Ka-shing was too poor.
However, there is a detail that many people have not found, after Li Ka-shing started his business, his career development was very fast. Li Ka-shing himself later said that when he was 30 years old, his annual rental income alone was 10 million. Li Ka-shing first opened a plastics factory, then he invested in real estate in Hong Kong and built an industrial building for rent, which was a great success. Li Ka-shing said that when he was 28 years old, the money he earned was enough for a family to use for a lifetime.
Since Li Ka-shing achieved wealth freedom at the age of 28 and collected 10 million rents a year at the age of 30, why did Zhuang Yueming marry Li Ka-shing when he was 35 years old? Obviously, Zhuang Yueming and Li Ka-shing were not opposed because of the wealth gap.
In fact, Zhuang Jing'an has always loved Li Ka-shing very much. The tradition of the Chaoshan people is that uncles love nephews. The same is true of Chuang Jing An. When Li Ka-shing started his business, the funds were still provided by Zhuang Jing'an.
If Zhuang Jing'an opposed his daughter's marriage to Li Ka-shing because of Li Ka-shing's asset problem, then there should be no problem after Li Ka-shing became a fortune, but Li Ka-shing and Zhuang Yueming had to delay their marriage until 1963, when Zhuang Yueming was 32 years old.
The reason for Zhuang Jing'an's real opposition is unknown, perhaps the two close relatives are also one of them, and the other reasons are unknown. However, it seems that the marriage between Zhuang Yueming and Li Ka-shing has long been doomed, and it is not smooth. At that time, there were many Hong Kong giants who wanted to marry Zhuang Yueming, and after Zhuang Yueming grew up, there were many rich men who came to propose marriage, but Zhuang Yueming just liked Li Ka-shing.
Later, Zhuang Jing'an could not help Zhuang Yueming, so he agreed to the marriage of the two people. After 27 years of marriage, Zhuang Yueming and Li Ka-shing gave birth to two sons, at this time Li Ka-shing's career was successful, the two sons also grew up, Zhuang Yueming was just about to start enjoying life, but she died of illness.
At that time, Li Ka-shing was only 62 years old, and Zhuang Yueming was only 59 years old. For example, Fok Yingdong's original partner Lu Yanni died last year at the age of 97. Lin Baixin's original wife, Lai Yuanfang, died at the age of 103. Zheng Yutong's original partner, Zhou Cuiying, is more than 90 years old, and her mother is still in very good health. Although Ho Hung-sun's original partner, Lai Wan-wah, suffered a lot of blows in her life, she also lived to the age of 84 before she died.
In contrast, Zhuang Yueming died at the age of 59, really very early. Zhuang Yueming may not have imagined that she waited for more than ten years in order to marry Li Ka-shing, but finally she died of illness early, and Li Ka-shing has now become the richest man, and also talked about a 33-year-old girlfriend.
Zhuang Yueming died in 1990, and in 1999 Li Ka-shing became the richest Man in China for the first time, followed by Li Ka-shing who became the richest Man in China for 15 consecutive years. However, all these honors have nothing to do with Zhuang Yueming. After Zhuang Yueming's death, Li Ka-shing would take his whole family to visit Zhuang Yueming's grave every year on Zhuang Yueming's death day. At the same time, Li Ka-shing also donated a lot of money and did a lot of good deeds in the name of Zhuang Yueming.
In fact, the widow's continuation of the string was originally a reasonable thing, but Li Ka-shing himself has not married Zhou Kaixuan, nor has he given her a name, but it seems that he is not generous enough. Now That Zhou Kaixuan is almost 60 years old, she has followed Li Ka-shing since she was in her 30s. Now that Li Ka-shing is 93 years old, she has also accompanied Li Ka-shing for many years. Zhou Kaixuan is old, and he has not had children in his life, although he has endless money, but he is doomed to be very lonely when he is old.
Yu Minhong said that her mother was very troubled in her old age, because her wife had died for more than 20 years, and her son was very busy, so although she was well clothed and had a very good material life, she was very lonely.
In fact, this kind of loneliness will also be experienced by Zhou Kaixuan in the future, and it is even more terrifying, and wealth cannot change all this. For Zhuang Yueming, should she marry Li Ka-shing despite her parents' objections? It can only be said that it is a matter of opinion. Maybe Zhuang Yueming married someone else, and his fate was different. Of course, Zhuang Yueming and Li Ka-shing married, there are still a lot of happy and beautiful things, the two people raised two outstanding sons together, and there are also many happy times.
When Zhuang Yueming and Li Ka-shing had just married, Li Ka-shing spent a huge amount of 600,000 yuan to buy a villa in Hong Kong's Deep Water Bay and gave it to Zhuang Yueming as a wedding gift.
