On May 26, 2020, Stanley Ho, known as the "Macau Gambling King", passed away at the age of 98.
He Hongshen, who was full of legends in his life, was the longest-serving gambling king, and he was successful in business after laying a business empire of 500 billion.
In marriage, with 4 wives and 17 children together, He Hongshen's children and grandchildren are full of grandchildren, which can be called a winner in life.
But in terms of family affection, Ho Hongshen has lost a lot:
The relationship with the eldest daughter He Chaoying broke down, even at He Chaoying's funeral, he did not personally send her on the last journey; he lost his eldest son He Youguang in middle age, and the plan of the successor was in vain, and he found other children as successors; and he Wanqi, the "Tenth Sister", became a vendetta because of money, and the other party failed to forgive him at the end of his life...
Although he and the "Tenth Sister" He Wanqi became enemies, his relationship with the "Eighth Sister" He Wanhong was very good.
One is a sister, the other is a sister, both have been to Australia Entertainment as shareholders, why is Ho Hongshen's attitude towards his sisters is completely different? Is there any hidden story?
First, the family is in the middle of the road, and the brothers and sisters are scattered
He Hongshen's "eighth sister" He Wanhong is one year older than He Hongshen, and among He Hongshen's 13 brothers and sisters, He Wanhong and He Wanwan are left alive, and now He Wanhong is 101 years old, and her body is still very tough.
Ho's 13 siblings were all born with a golden key, and their grandfather was Ho Fook, the younger brother of Ho Tung, Hong Kong's first rich man.
Due to the relatively good family conditions, He Hongshen and other brothers and sisters lived like young masters and princesses.
Such days lasted until after the failure of their father He Shiguang's business, they experienced ups and downs and tribulations, and their father He Shiguang took his mother
Sin and some of his children fled to Vietnam, intending to start all over again.
When their parents left, they did not take He Wanhong and He Hongshen, but instead took He Wanqi with them. The most difficult time in the family was that He Wanhong had been protecting her brother and carrying it down.
He Wanhong has always been very studious, she graduated
Outstanding Women's College, like Li Ka-shing's red-faced confidant Zhou Kaixuan, Karen Mok,
Sun Yong'en and others graduated from this school.
After graduating, Ho wan hung was successfully admitted to the University of Hong Kong on a scholarship.
While she took care of her brother, she also had to go to school, and Ho Hongshen admired her sister, so he always treated her as an example.
After experiencing the cold of the world, coupled with the efforts of his sister, Ho Hung-sun began to be diligent and studious, and he was directly admitted to the University of Hong Kong.
In the days when the sisters and brothers depended on each other for their lives, only they knew in each other's hearts that their parents were not there, and He Wanhong was half of his "mother".
He Hongshen is a personality lover, how his sister He Wanhong treats him, he has always remembered in his heart, and he plans to repay his sister well in the future.
He Wanhong and He Hongshen spent so long together day and night, he Wanqi could not reach it.
Since The beginning of Ho Wanqi's teenage years, she has followed her parents to Vietnam, although Ho Hung Sun is her brother, he should love her and spoil her, but time and distance have also made a big gap between them.
When Ho Wan Hung and Ho Hung Sun's relationship became closer and closer, Ho Wan Qi learned business experience with her parents in Vietnam.
In 1945, Ho Wanqi returned to Hong Kong with her parents, but at that time everything was different, and her brother Ho Hung Sun had already established a family.
He Wanqi will occasionally go to her brother and sister-in-law's house to rub rice and eat, she is beautiful, and she has not seen He Hongshen for many years, and the goodbye relationship is also very close, but if You let He Hongshen choose one between her sister and sister, he will definitely choose the former.
The father's business failure also indirectly affected the feelings between their brothers and sisters, because no one knew what they experienced after falling in the family road.
Second: the choice of marriage
Although He Wanhong is a mixed-race child, she does not have the "Tenth Sister" He Wanqi who looks generous.
Coupled with the fact that she is not favored at home and has more children, her parents naturally cannot achieve a bowl of water, and she is often overlooked.
No matter how hard He Wanhong worked academically, she could not get the favor of her parents, which meant that her marriage could only obey her parents' arrangements.
In 1942, Ho Hung-sun married Lai Wan-wah, and in that year, the "eighth sister" Ho Wan-hung also married one of her classmates, named Feng Qide.
For Feng Qide, He Wanhong did not like it, if it were not for her mother's intentions, she would not marry.
Even when taking wedding photos, her face was expressionless, but the corners of Feng Qide's mouth rose slightly, and she was very happy.
In the second year after marriage, He Wanhong gave birth to a daughter
Feng Shaolian. He Wanhong's life after marriage was not satisfactory, and her mother-in-law prevented the couple from meeting, and He Wanhong could only take care of her daughter alone.
In 1945, Feng Qide disappeared at sea, and He Wanhong looked at the vast sea and cried why her fate was so bitter.
Man is gone, she can no longer complain about the injustice of heaven, she still has a daughter to raise, for her sake she can only persevere.
He Hongshen knew that He Wanhong's life was not good, and he expressed great heartache for his sister's suffering, so he would give his sister a little subsidy every month, after all, his entrepreneurial life was also very difficult.
He Wanhong began to be widowed at the age of 25, if it were not for Ho Hongshen's help over the years, some of her daughters
Feng Shaolian would not have done anything later.
After losing her husband, He Wanhong did not remarry, but took her daughter to live her own life.
He Wanhong's marriage is very unhappy, on the contrary, He Wanqi, her feelings are the same as the "eighth sister" at first, even if her parents love her, but also obey her parents' arrangements.
He Wanqi was arranged to marry the rich businessman Mai Zhiwei, and she was unwilling, because when she was 19 years old, she had a sweetheart, and her sweetheart was her cousin He Hongzhang, who was three years younger than her.
After getting married, He Wanqi found that the Mai family was no longer as rich as before, even Mai Zhiwei had to work outside to make money, he had no appearance, plus there was no money, He Wanqi had a worse impression of him.
An encounter at the horse farm allowed He Wanqi to meet her old love, that is, He Hongzhang.
Later, He Wanqi He Hongzhang gave birth to a son (Mai Shunming) and a daughter (Mai Huiyu), she did not choose to divorce Mai Zhiwei, and also followed their children with Mai Zhiwei's surname "Mai".
He Wanqi took this secret to her heart, but she told her brother He Hongshen, and she was pinched by someone.
Sister He Wanhong lost her husband and did not remarry for many years, and her sister He Wanqi cheated on her husband and had children, and He Hongshen was a person who could distinguish between black and white.
Compared with He Wanhong and He Wanqi, He Hongshen's own heart has a scale, coupled with He Wanqi's secret, so that He Hongshen has to have a different view of his sister's behavior.
Third: Ambitions and desires are different
In the years when She lost her husband, Ho Wan hung up on help from Ho, but after she was able to make money, she didn't bother her brother.
She obtained a diploma in teaching English abroad and began to work in education when she returned to Hong Kong, where she also served
Dean of the Bolji College of Education.
He Wanhong's wish is to make money to raise her daughter to adulthood, and she has nothing else to ask for.
He Wanhong, who has worked in the education field for many years, has also accumulated a lot of savings in her hands. When Ho founded Ao Entertainment, she also took out a part of the capital investment, which can be regarded as her brother's help to her many years ago.
He Wanhong did not ask her brother to share the dividends of her Australian entertainment, her first half of life was bitter enough, and money is an external thing after all, as long as the happiness and happiness of this life is enough.
She invested only a small part, but her sister He Wanqi invested a lot of money, and it can be said that she took out the entrepreneurial funds of Australian Entertainment.
The reason why He Wanqi invested in her brother's business was because she had just divorced Mak Chi-wai and wanted to do business, just in time for He Hongshen to win the gambling card.
She took 2 million Hong Kong dollars, which was not a small amount at the time, so the money that He Wanqi took? The reason is very simple, he Hongzhang gave her.
He Hongzhang is he Dong's grandson and successor, after He Dong's death, He Hongzhang accepted a huge inheritance left by his grandfather, and 2 million Hong Kong dollars is only a dime for him.
Ho Wanqi, who is a senior member in Ho's company, has this sentence to say about her:
Ten girls let out a sound, and the whole casino shook.
”
It can be seen that He Wanqi's status in Australian entertainment is extraordinary. When Ho wanqi was a teenager, she followed her father in Vietnam to witness the development of the gaming industry and learned a lot of business methods.
Therefore, this strength of hers was used in the career of her brother He Hongshen.
As Ho Wan-chi's position in Australian entertainment grew, Ho hongshen, with a sense of crisis, began to cut his sister's shares, from 62% to the remaining 7.3%.
But Ho said that Ho Wanqi had owed a huge amount of money to her son Mai Shunming in order to repay the debt.
For a while, it was not clear who was right or wrong between them, and when He Wanqi saw that her shares were being cut again and again, she offered to arrange her son Mai Shunming to be a director, but Ho Hongshen directly refused.
He Hongshen also arranged the fourth wife, Liang Anqi, to the board of directors, with a very clear purpose, that is, to kick He Wanqi out.
He Wanqi's years of hard work in Macao Entertainment were all gone for a while, how could she give up so easily?
In addition, Ho Hongshen knew the secret of her illegitimate son, and used this secret to threaten her for many years, she compromised countless times, but in the end she failed to get a good result.
He Wanqi simply broke the net, so she began to look for all kinds of evidence, and sued her brother He Hongshen in court, and the two became enemies.
In the final analysis, it is the temptation of money that makes the two brothers and sisters quarrel with each other.
He Wanhong is also one of the shareholders of Australian Entertainment, but she has hardly asked for anything, but He Wanqi has invested money and managed, and it is reasonable that she has desires and ambitions.
Fourth, children are all
He Wanhong herself has a decent job, she is not like He Wanqi, He Wanqi has the care of an old lover, He Wanhong can be regarded as self-supporting.
Without a husband at the age of 25, He Wanhong only wanted to raise her daughter.
Under her education,
Feng Shaolian is very good, and like He Wanhong, she likes things like art.
Under the cultivation of his mother, Feng Shaolian became a famous portrait painter and sculptor.
He Wanhong looked at his daughter
Feng Shaolian is very outstanding, her life can be regarded as a head, in the days to come, as long as she is healthy and happy, it will be enough.
As for the rest, she never asked for anything extravagant.
But fate had always seemed unfair to her, in 1999 when it came time for her daughter
Feng Shaolian died of illness at the age of 56.
White-haired people send black-haired people, He Wanhong don't mention how uncomfortable it is,
Feng Shaolian is
He Wanhong's many years of sustenance and hope,
After Feng Shaolian left, she was decadent for a while.
In 2005, He Wanhong made an important decision, that is, in
Macau's sightseeing tower, which cost a lot of money to set up a pavilion, wanted to show the works left by her daughter for a long time.
For He Wanhong,
Feng Shaolian is all she has, Feng Shaolian is gone, she wants more money, it will not help, so she will not go to her brother He Hongshen to pay dividends.
But He Wanqi is different, among her four children, one pair of children is He Hongzhang's, and one pair of children is Mai Zhiwei's.
Among the four children, her favorite is Mai Shunming, but Mai Shunming is a son who does not learn and has no skills, likes to gamble, after He Wanqi exposed the identity of Mai Shunming and Mai Huiyu, Mai Shunming naturally returned to He Hongzhang's side, and also changed his name to He Dong Shunming.
He Dong Shunming repeatedly asked He Hongzhang for money, and finally confronted his biological father He Hongzhang, resulting in the breakdown of the relationship between He Hongzhang and He Wanqi's lover for many years.
Just after her death, her son He Dong Shunming did not disclose the news of her death, but blocked the news in order to compete for the inheritance, even He Wanqi's daughter Mai Huiyu did not know the news of her mother's death two months later.
He Wanqi was originally a beautiful beauty and also had the talent to do business, but for this heart and liver son, her life was ruined.
The fate of He Wanhong's life is very tragic, although life is difficult, she has lived her own life responsibly, never asked for too much, and the death of her husband and daughter is a blow to her.
People have passed away, the days still need to look forward, He Wanhong and the fourth tai Liang Anqi, Wang Mingquan have a very good relationship, now she has several confidants, do not worry about eating and drinking, enough.
He Wanqi had unlimited scenery in the first half of her life, lost everything for her son in the second half of her life, and even when she died, she let He Hongshen pay back the money, what kind of resentment did she not let go when she arrived?
Life is always gained and lost at the same time. He Wanhong lost her husband and daughter, but got a blessed old age; He Wanqi got love, children, and money, but in her old age she could not enjoy the blessings, and she had to fight with her brother to die, why bother?
