Among the five sons born to He Hongshen, in the current situation, only the 45-year-old second son He Youlong has the most talent and future, of course, the younger son of the fourth room, He Youjun, is also very capable, but it has not yet become a climate, at least for the time being, it cannot be compared with He Youlong. Over the years, He Youlong has been able to appear on the Hong Kong Rich List released by Forbes, becoming the third person in the Ho family to be on this list, and in Forbes' latest 2021 Hong Kong Rich List, Ho Yu Long ranked 46th with a net worth of US$1.3 billion.
It is an indisputable fact that He Youlong has a practical nature, but he is low-key, does not like to attend social occasions, the last time he saw him appear in public, or when He Hongshen was buried in 2021, he held a photo of He Hongshen as the second son, sent off his father's last journey, and then it is difficult to find his trace. What is rare is that recently He Youlong led his employees to do good deeds together, visited the Macao Nursing Home, and He Youlong, who has always been cold, showed a rare and enthusiastic side, sitting around the elderly to play games, booing and greeting warmth, and then volunteering on the black beach, thus breaking many people's inherent impression of He Youlong.
Ho is a special presence in the Ho hung sun family, he is rooted in Ho Hung Sin's industry, and independent of Ho Hung Sun's industry. After the early death of Ho Hongshen's son of the eldest house, and the gradual rise to power in the second house, he should be the most promising to become the successor. However, for these children of the second room, He Hongshen's more important thing is He Chaoqiong, who is the real family successor, and He Youlong is in the back. In fact, after He Youlong returned to Hong Kong after graduating from abroad, he did not get a special arrangement from Ho Hongshen, so that he could work in any company under the Umbrella of Australian Entertainment and familiarize himself with the family business, but instead lost a Melco International that even He Hongsheng himself was not optimistic about to He Youlong, which was a test in a good way, and a self-destruction in a bad way.
Melco International is an old industry in Ho Hung Sun's industry, this industry has been founded in 1910, and in 1927 has been listed, after Ho Hung Sun acquisition, the development of the industry has not been too ideal, when he changed hands to He Youlong, Melco had been losing money for 7 consecutive years. In the face of this mess, He Youlong, with his personal talent and the strength of the team, actually turned a loss into a profit within one year, and achieved a profit growth rate of nearly 40% in three years, and finally He Hongshen retired as the chairman of Melco in 2006, and He Youlong completely took over, proving himself with strength, which was impressive.
He Youlong started with Melco International, in just a few years to achieve good results in the United States listing, career territory expanded to foreign countries, and in addition to the gaming industry, but also vigorously develop tourism, Melco International has become a new gaming industry in Macau, together with Ho Hung-sun's SJM, He Chaoqiong's MGM China, together with one of the pillar industries of Macau gaming. I don't know if Ho Hung-sun thought that He Youlong would overturn Melco when he handed over the SJM to He Youlong? The result of this is to make He Youlong completely independent of the family, which is not a good thing today, avoiding disputes within the family members, but also proving his strength, He Youlong once regarded SJM as a competitor, which is also quite meaningful.
It is precisely because he is independent of the family business and will not participate in the competition for property between the families, which makes He Youlong appear extremely low-key and even mysterious. When He Hongshen was still alive, he was always busy with Zhang Luo's life and living with He Chaoqiong and He Chaofeng, and he rarely saw He Youlong show his face, even if he did, he did not accept an interview, and he was extremely low-key. Unexpectedly, he Youlong, who seems to be cold, is actually very enthusiastic about public welfare and is very interested in participating in volunteer activities, he Youlong, who has not shown his face for a long time, recently formed a volunteer team with colleagues in the company to visit the elderly in the nursing home.
This is a prepared visiting activity, before the departure, Melco's volunteer team rehearsed several programs, performed on the spot in the nursing home for the elderly to enjoy, this is not the focus, the focus is He Youlong led the team to participate, and very actively interact with the elderly. He Youlong took out precious time to accompany the elderly to play board games together, and constantly asked for warmth in the process of playing, showing great enthusiasm and patience, which showed that his mood was very good. It is worth noting that He Youlong wore two masks on the same day, which shows that he is particularly protective of himself, of course, this is a good thing, after all, in places with many people, it is also necessary to take more precautions and attention. And after not seeing He Youlong for a long time, I didn't think he had changed anything big, except that the M-shaped head was becoming more and more obvious.
After visiting the elderly in the nursing home, Ho and his team went to Macau's black sand beach to pick up garbage and contribute to the natural environment. Ho said that as a company from Macao, it is very important to contribute to the Macao society. Since the emergence of the epidemic, he has led His colleagues to set up a dedicated volunteer team and regularly participate in volunteer activities to give back to the community. Big entrepreneurs have always paid attention to their social influence and image, so this kind of volunteer activity can not be less, both to help themselves and to help others, killing two birds with one stone.
Assets in 2021
2019 assets
Finally, it is worth mentioning that in the past two years, due to the impact of the epidemic, Melco International, which focuses on gaming and tourism, has suffered losses to varying degrees, and together with the shrinking of He Youlong's personal wealth, He Youlong's personal assets are still 2 billion US dollars in 2020, and only 1.3 billion US dollars in 2021, which is enough to evaporate 700 million US dollars, and in 2019, He Youlong's assets are still 2.3 billion US dollars, which means that his assets are 1 billion US dollars less in two years.
