Ukraine is at war with Russia. Russia is naturally crushed. In fact, the world can't imagine that Putin is real. In fact, if you think about it, this is also in line with Putin's character, and it is indeed very hard-blooded.
In fact, everyone knows that the dispute between Ukraine and Russia is actually a dispute between the United States and Russia. Ukraine is nothing more than a pawn in the great power game. Speaking of Ukraine, this country is really strange to Chinese, and if it weren't for football, it is estimated that many people would know where Ukraine is.
Northern Europe is almost the most developed region in the world, with a very high PER capita GDP, but Ukraine, which is located in Eastern Europe, is completely different, its economy is backward, and there are almost no companies to come up with. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine even had to sell it to maintain itself.
Speaking of Ukraine, many people Chinese may not know that our first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, actually came from Ukraine. What's going on here?
In fact, the predecessor of the Liaoning was the Soviet Union's Gvaryan. At that time, it was purchased by Hong Kong businessman Xu Zengping and donated it free of charge. However, many people do not know that the gambling king He Hongshen also contributed a lot behind this.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the unfinished GWV was distributed to Ukraine. But for the Ukrainians, there is no point in continuing to build the carrier. Later, at the request of Russia, they removed the weapons and electronic equipment on the Gvaryan.
In 1997, the Ukrainians made a decision to sell the Guvalyan, which had weapons and electronic equipment removed. After this news broke, the whole world was very concerned. Many countries wanted to seize the opportunity to buy aircraft carriers, after all, few countries in the world had aircraft carriers at that time.
Of course, countries with aircraft carriers do not want others to have aircraft carriers. It is precisely because of this that the Ukrainians, under pressure, can only declare that Guvaryan will not be sold to any country, but only to individuals.
Xu Zengping served as a soldier for 14 years, and after retiring from the military, he went to Hong Kong to engage in business and founded the Hong Kong Chuang Law Group. When Hong Kong was returned to the motherland, Xu Zengping made no small contribution. After Xu Zengping knew that Ukraine wanted to sell the Gvaryan, he decided to buy it privately and donate it to the state free of charge.
At that time, the Ukrainians made three demands, the first was that it must be used for civilian use, the second purchase of the company must have the corresponding proof of funds, and the third must be to get the permission certificate of the docking country. In order to solve these problems, Xu Zengping found the gambling king He Hongshen.
Although He Hongshen is a mixed-race child, their family has always regarded themselves as Chinese, and their family has always been very patriotic. Ho Hung-sun's grandfather Ho Tung was already the richest man in Hong Kong at that time, he was good friends with Mr. Sun and Mr. Jiang at that time, and Ho Tung was also contributing to the revolution.
Later, He Dong's son, He Hongshen's uncle He Shili, returned from graduating from the European Artillery Academy, and he also ran to the northeast to resist the Japanese and became Zhang Xueliang's bodyguard. After He Shili joined the army that year, He Yingqin originally planned to stay in Nanjing and not go to the front. He Shili took the initiative to run to the front line.
After the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, He Shili made a lot of military achievements by relying on professional artillery knowledge, and He Shili became a general under the famous general Xue Yue. Ho Could have returned to Hong Kong to inherit hundreds of millions of family properties, but he lived as the richest man, living a life of bullets and bullets on the front line.
He Hongshen was also deeply influenced by the elders of the family since he was a child, and after the success of his career, he also continued to use his influence to contribute to the country. Since the 1980s, Ho has had to work hard for the return of Macao and Hong Kong, and has made a lot of efforts for the smooth economic transition after the return of Hong Kong and Macao.
Many people have heard that He Hongshen once paid for the purchase of pig heads and horse heads and donated them free of charge, and these two cultural relics alone cost Ho Hongshen about 70 million yuan, but he donated them all free of charge. In addition, Ho Hung Sun also bought a large number of lost cultural relics from overseas, and donated them free of charge.
It can be said that the three generations of the Ho Family are very patriotic. After Ho knew that Xu Zengping wanted to buy the Gvaryan, he also decided to help. In order to cover xu Zengping's real purpose of buying the Gvaryan. Stanley Ho helped Xu zengping register an entertainment company in Macau. This has two advantages, which is equivalent to saying that it is not the mainland company that bought the aircraft carrier, but the Macau company.
At that time, Macau was still governed by Portugal. In addition, the inside of the countertop of the aircraft carrier was used to transform it into a gambling ship. At that time, macau's gambling ship business was also very large. So this reason is also reasonable.
Of course, these things still have to be nodded by the top brass of Macau. If there is no He Hongshen's appearance, then Xu Zengping will definitely find it difficult to carry out so many procedures in a short period of time. It was with the help of Ho Hongshen that Xu Zengping finally got the formalities and then went to Ukraine. After 3 years of efforts by patriotic entrepreneurs such as Xu Zengping and He Hongshen, from 1999 to 2002, Gwarian finally arrived in China, and after 9 years of transformation, finally in 2011, The Gwarian became the Liaoning and was officially launched, and China officially ended the history of no aircraft carrier.
After another 8 years of hard work, the first domestically produced aircraft carrier was officially launched and named Shandong. With Today's China's national strength and technology, building aircraft carriers is no longer a problem. But without the efforts of Ho and others 20 years ago, China's aircraft carriers would certainly have lasted longer.
In fact, Ho Hongshen's contribution to China's space industry is also very large, many years ago Ho Hongshen set up the He Hongshen Space Fund, a total of several hundred million. The foundation has been cultivating reserve talents for China's space industry for many years. After The Death of Ho, China's Aerospace Industry also came out to thank Ho.
In 2020, Stanley Ho died in Hong Kong at the age of 98. Many people do not understand why Ho Hongshen, as a businessman, received such a high evaluation after his death. After Ho Hung-sun's death, the 8 Fuling figures were all big figures at that time, 4 business tycoons and 4 political tycoons. In addition, Li Ka-shing, Guo Henian and others also appeared on ho's list of funeral committees.
Lu Zhihe, Wu Zongquan, Zheng Zhigang, Huo Qigang and others also went. At that time, almost all the political, business and entertainment circles in Hong Kong and Macao attended Ho Hung Sun's funeral, and even many ordinary citizens spontaneously went to Ho Hung Sun to send him off. Although Ho hung sun died, his daughter He Chaoqiong continued to lead the entire family and continue to contribute to the country.
