Since Huo Qigang fell in love with the diving empress Guo Jingjing, as the eldest son of the third generation of the Huo family, he changed his previous low-key style, so everyone began to understand the Hong Kong giants of the Huo family.
In 2006, Huo Qigang's grandfather Huo Yingdong died, and due to the controversial nature of his will, the Huo family's internal turmoil and external criticism did not stop.
Fok Yingdong's will stipulates that the Huo family may not be separated for 20 years. And Huo's parents inherited most of his career, and the second and third rooms only received tens of billions of cash.
Obviously, Huo Yingdong's will not only determined the status of the long house in the Huo family, but also restricted the two bedrooms and three houses from doing business, so as to avoid threatening the status of the long house.
However, more than a decade later, the Huo family is still fighting for property. Without the Huo family's three-room property struggle, it is also impossible to avoid the infighting between the huo family's longhouse and three sub-children in power.
01. Self-made Fok Ying Tung
War is a place full of blood and death. There are also organic spiritual people, who can find opportunities and explore a bucket of gold at the right time, and Fok Yingdong is one of them.
He was born in Hong Kong and studied at The Queen's Jen English College at the age of 12. However, due to the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Fok Yingdong was forced to drop out of school. Dependent on his mother, he had to work part-time to support his family.
He worked as a coal burner, worked as a coolie at the airport, and went to a sugar factory as an apprentice. Later, he helped his mother open a small grocery store.
The experience of working in the workplace when he was young has created Huo Yingdong, who has a flexible brain and a tenacious will. Therefore, Fok Yingdong's subsequent establishment of the company can be described as smooth sailing.
In 1948, Fok Ying Tung cooperated with others to do the business of salvaging Chinese medicine sea people's grass.
After a few years, he accumulated enough capital to start a company, form the Fok Ying Tung Group, and re-elected as the president of the Hong Kong Real Estate Developers Association. It is conceivable that at that time, the Huo family was in the sky and had a decisive influence in the Hong Kong business community.
He saw the rapid population of Hong Kong, the growing demand for land and houses, and did not hesitate to invest in the real estate industry, and also pioneered the method of installment payment.
The development of real estate has led to other industries, such as the building materials industry, so Fok Yingdong has been involved in the building materials industry.
In his decades of practice, the company's business involves department stores, tourism, catering, shipping, construction, oil and many other businesses.
Huo Yingdong alone has created a 10 billion family business. The Hong Kong giants, the Fok family, were carried forward by him in one fell swoop.
02. There is a constant quarrel over the inheritance
What I didn't expect was that making more money actually became a bad thing.
For the sake of Huo Yingdong's legacy, the three brothers of Huo Yingdong's family began to quarrel more and more lively. Although the will left by Huo Yingdong that day prevented the three house women from killing each other, it did not prevent the three brothers from fighting for property.
Compared with the gambling king Ho Hung-sin using the law of the jungle to select the strongest heir, He Chaoqiong, Fok Yingdong's method of dividing property is more traditional.
He would not indulge his children in fighting for property, but would minimize strife within the family. However, this still could not completely block the Huo family's struggle.
In 2011, Huo Zhenyu, the third son of Dafang, sued the second son Huo Zhenhuan for embezzling the family's property, and later the other children of the Huo family also took turns to sue the court for more property.
The property lawsuit dragged on for several years, and finally under the persuasion of Lu Yanni and Huo Yingdong's friends, the big guys reached a settlement in private.
Fok Yingdong's HK$30 billion, 10 billion to the two bedrooms and three houses, the remaining 20 billion to the long house three sons.
I thought that the Huo family no longer had any internal worries, but I did not expect that in recent years, the Huo family has once again made waves because of its property. The third son of the longhouse, Huo Zhenyu, took both the eldest and the second eldest to court on the grounds that Huo Zhenhuan had concealed Fok Yingdong's HK$9 billion fortune in the South China Sea.
The final result was not disclosed, but in early February this year, the long house woman signed a secret agreement and once again reached a private settlement.
It seems that the Huo brothers are still willing to sit down and negotiate on the property, and they do not make too much trouble with each other. As a father, Huo Yingdong's education of his children is still relatively in place.
03. The Huo family of the elite per capita
In Huo Yingdong's view, instead of fighting with their future children, it is better to clarify the will early, teach the big house well, and do not let the two rooms and three rooms breed ambitions.
Under his tutelage, Huo Zhenting, the eldest son of The Longhouse, was able to speak the Tao and inherited Fok Yingdong's career in sports.
The second son, Huo Zhenhuan, although introverted, was intelligent, graduated from Columbia University and inherited the Huo family's family business.
The youngest son, Huo Zhenyu, majored in technology and also joined hands with Zhong Nanshan to establish a pharmaceutical company.
Perhaps Huo Zhenyu went to court several times to sue his brother, causing everyone to dispute him. But it is undeniable that he is also a social elite.
The three sons of the big room became talents, and the second room did not let go.
The second son of the second room, Huo Wenbin, is a doctor, and the third son, Huo Wenxun, is obsessed with medicine and has made remarkable achievements.
In 2014 , Hovinson was also awarded the GLES Peace Prize , which has an equivalent gold content to the Nobel Peace Prize.
There are also four sons of the three rooms, very low-key and mysterious, not known, but I believe that under the teaching of Huo Yingdong, it is not a thing in the pool.
Compared with being a father, his greatest achievement was to be a businessman and contribute to the motherland.
During the war years, when western countries imposed embargoes on us, Huo Yingdong rose up to support and delivered a large amount of materials to the motherland. It was also he who donated hundreds of millions of dollars to support the motherland's education cause.
Although the dispute over the Huo family's property has reduced the outside world's good feelings for the Huo family, this has not eliminated the contribution made by Huo Yingdong. After all, man does not have the power of the prophet, and he has tried his best to reduce strife.
