In Hong Kong's rich circle, there are also many small circles, such as Zheng Yutong, Liu Luanxiong, Yang Shoucheng, Zhang Songqiao and others are a circle. In addition, Ho Hung-sun, Fok Ying-tung and others are a small circle.
Many people know that Fok Yingdong and Li Ka-shing are not very close friends, when Fok Yingdong died, Li Ka-shing was not in the list of fuling, and Fok Yingdong's grandson Huo Qigang was married, Li Ka-shing went to give gifts and left, instead of staying to drink happy wine. These details can be seen that the two people are just ordinary friends.
So who is Fok Yingdong's best brother? Many people know the relationship between Fok Ying Tung and Macau gambling king Stanley Ho, in fact, in addition to Ho Hung Sun, he and Lee Shau Kee, the richest man in Hong Kong, are also very good friends.
Fok Ying Tung and Ho Hung Sun's relationship has a long history, the two people met when they were young, when the two studied together at the famous Queen's College in Hong Kong. He Hongshen's rich young master, he relied on money to enter, Fok Yingdong was born into a poor family, but he was very smart and successfully admitted to this school.
At that time, although the two people came from different backgrounds, they both liked to play football, so the two became friends. Later, Ho Hung-sin's father went bankrupt in stock trading, and Stanley Ho went to Macau to develop. Fok Ying Tung's father died of illness, and he dropped out of school to work as a coolie on the Hong Kong pier.
Years later, the two men met again in Macau. At that time, Ho Hung-sun was working at the CIMB Company in Macau, and Fok Ying-tung was the son who inherited his father's business, bought some boats, and then hired some boatmen to go to the East China Sea to dig seaman grass, and then transported it to Macau to sell. At that time, the person who was connecting in Macau happened to be Ho Hung-sun. So the relationship between the two became more intimate.
A few years later, Ho was forced to leave Macau to return to Hong Kong because he had offended the jianghu people in Macau, after which he started a construction company and made some money. At this time, Fok Yingdong achieved great success in Hong Kong by relying on louhua, and his career can be said to be in the sky. Among the Chinese rich people in Hong Kong at that time, Fok Yingdong was already the richest.
Ho Hung-sin's eldest wife, Lai Wan-wah, and Fok Ying-tung's eldest wife, Lu Yanni, often played mahjong together at that time, and Fok Ying-tung and Ho Hung-sin often met together when they went to pick up his wife at night, so they had a better relationship.
In 1961, Ip Han sought out Ho Hung Sun to cooperate and went to Macau to bid for gambling cards together, and Ho Hung Sin pulled Fok Ying Tung at the first time. In fact, Fok Yingdong originally did not want to participate in the gambling business, but later agreed to help Ho Hongshen. With the help of Fok Ying Tung, Ho hung sun successfully got the gambling card, which established Ho Hung Sin's position as the gambling king later.
However, after getting the gambling card, Fok Yingdong rarely asked about the company's affairs, and the affairs of Australian entertainment were handled by Ho Hongshen. There's a line in "The Chinese Partner" that says don't do business with your best friend. After Fok Yingdong and He Hongshen did business together, the two people also fell out for a while.
Fok Ying Tung believes that Ho Hung Sun is too arrogant, and the company's accounts are not clear, the most important thing is that before bidding for the lottery, Ho Hung Sin promised Fok Ying Tung to use the interests for charity, but later Ho Hong Shen did not do so. This made Huo Yingdong very angry, and the two people fell out later for this matter.
In the 1980s, Fok Ying Tung wanted to sell his shares to Ho Hongshen and then quit Ao Entertainment altogether. Mr. Ho had promised to pay $1 billion to buy the shares. Ho hung up on it, and he also found 14K to come forward and let them deal with Fok Yingdong. This made Huo Yingdong very unhappy.
In the years that followed, the two men had little contact. However, in 2003, when Fok Ying Tung donated tens of billions of shares worth of Macau Entertainment and established the Macau Fok Ying Tung Foundation, Ho Hung Sun was still generous to congratulate. Two old friends meeting is also a former suspicion.
In 2006, Fok Ying Tung died, and Ho Hung Sun also personally supported Fok Ying Tung despite his advanced age. In 2012, Huo Qigang married Guo Jingjing, and He Hongshen was seriously ill at that time, and it was very inconvenient to move, but He Hongshen still sat in a wheelchair to congratulate.
Many people know Fok Yingdong's friendship with Ho Hongshen, but many people do not know his friendship with Lee Shau Kee. Fok Ying-tung died in 2006, and among the 10 Fuling figures was Lee Shau Kee. At the same time, in 2012, Huo Qigang married Guo Jingjing, and Li Shaoji sat in the master's seat. It can be seen that Lee Shau Kee has a relationship with the Fok Ying Tung family.
Lee Shau Kee's personality is very much appreciated by Fok Ying Tung, Lee Shau Kee is gentle and elegant, and he is very patriotic, which is not the same as Li Ka-shing. So Fok Ying-tung and Lee Shau Kee can become good friends, but he and Lee Ka-shing cannot become good friends.
Lee Shau Kee and Fok Ying Tung also had a lot of business cooperation that year, and the two of them cooperated together in real estate. Lee Shau Kee is the richest man in Hong Kong and owns six listed companies, including Henderson Properties, China Gas, Miramar Hotel and many more. Lee Shau Kee also started from scratch in Hong Kong, he took his father's 1,000 yuan to Hong Kong, first opened a gold shop, and then developed a real estate business, step by step became one of the four richest people in Hong Kong.
Unlike Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee is a very emotional person. When Hong Kong billionaire Yang Zhiyun died, his Miramar Hotel attracted the covetousness of many asset tycoons, including Li Ka-shing. Lee Shau Kee and Yang Zhiyun are good friends, and the two of them opened a gold shop together in Hong Kong.
After Yang Zhiyun's death, his children did not want to take over, they all wanted to sell the company, and then divided the family property and went their separate ways to develop. However, Yang Zhiyun's wife hopes to keep the sign of Miramar. At that time, if Li Ka-shing's acquisition was successful, then Li Ka-shing would demolish the Miramar Hotel to develop a real estate business, and the Miramar Hotel would cease to exist.
Later, Yang Zhiyun's wife found Lee Shau Kee's help, and Lee Shau Kee remembered the feelings of the deceased, so he decided to take action, knowing that Lee Shau Kee's first shot was to offend Li Ka-shing. In those years, Lee Shau Kee's old friend Guo Desheng and others died one after another, so he was very depressed, he did not want to see his old friend just died, the property was acquired, so he finally bought it, and promised Yang Zhiyun's wife that he would continue to run the Miramar Hotel.
If Lee Shau Kee is willing to demolish the Miramar Hotel and build a real estate project, he can also make a good profit, but Lee Shau Kee is unwilling to do so, indicating that he is really a person who cherishes righteousness. This is also the reason why Huo Yingdong is willing to become good friends with him.
