Zhang Ziqiang: "Let Li Ka-shing answer the phone"
Li Ka-shing: "I am"
Zhang Ziqiang: "Hello Mr. Li, I am Zhang Ziqiang"
Li Ka-shing: "Which Zhang Ziqiang?" ”
Zhang Ziqiang: "Mr. Li, Ming people don't say secret words, you must know me"
Li Ka-shing: "If Mr. Zhang has any requests, please say directly"
Zhang Ziqiang: "Can I go to your house and say in person?" ”
Li Ka-shing: "Of course Mr. Lee"
Zhang Ziqiang: "See you at that moment, don't call the police, otherwise you will understand the consequences."
Li Ka-shing: "Of course, for the safety of my son, I will not call the police"
This is the real dialogue between the two when Li Ka-shing's son Li Zeju was kidnapped by the kidnapper Zhang Ziqiang, when Zhang Ziqiang called Li Ka-shing, it is very classic, do you feel very familiar? Like the actors in Hong Kong movies in dialogue?
Who is Zhang Ziqiang?
He is a bold kidnapper, those small kidnappings can not be seen at all, he will do big, when the kidnapping of Li Zeju successfully obtained Li Ka-shing's billion ransom, everyone thought that he would take the ransom to go abroad to live a leisurely life, but did not expect to turn around and stared at one of the ten richest people in Hong Kong, Guo Desheng's son Guo Bingxiang.
Zhang Ziqiang
Guo Bingxiang's shadow
Guo Bingxiang's rescue road was not as smooth as Li Zeju's.
On September 29, 1997, Zhang Ziqiang sent someone to monitor Guo Bingxiang for a long time, and finally decided to attack this rich man.
On the same day, Guo Bingxiang drove the luxury car home as usual, and he was about to reach the gate of his mansion, but he was forcibly abducted by Zhang Ziqiang's men who had been ambushed there earlier.
Guo Bingxiang was taken to a hidden old building, where Zhang Ziqiang waited for him, and he also expressed a warm welcome to Guo Bingxiang's arrival, quickly let Guo Bingxiang sit down and rest, and directly handed him a mobile phone, asking him to call his family for a ransom of 2 billion.
Of course, Guo Bingxiang knew his situation, but this proud son of heaven was not willing to bow down to the kidnappers, he refused to talk to his family, and even told Zhang Ziqiang that he did not want to get a word.
For Guo Bingxiang's non-cooperation, Zhang Ziqiang had been prepared earlier, he found a dog cage, took off Guo Bingxiang's clothes, and then locked it in the cage, the cage was very small, Guo Bingxiang could not even straighten his legs, and could only bend down and curl up inside.
In the first two days, Guo Bingxiang was still very tenacious, always insisting on not opening his mouth, eating and drinking Lasa in the cage, which made him spoiled from a young age and enjoyed the glory and wealth of Guo Bingxiang is undoubtedly a great shame.

After Guo Bingxiang was kidnapped, the Guo family was in a mess, they did not dare to call the police, and did not know what to do, after receiving Zhang Ziqiang's call, he opened his mouth was 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which made everyone in the Guo family hesitate, to know that when Li Ka-shing's son Li Zeju was kidnapped, Zhang Ziqiang also wanted 1 billion.
The guo family's old lady, Kwong Xiaoqing, that is, Guo Bingxiang's mother, was given an idea to hear Guo Bingxiang's voice and prove that he was still alive before the Guo family gave money.
Zhang Ziqiang also expressed understanding for such a request, but when he gave the phone to Guo Bingxiang, he did not open his mouth and did not say a word to the family, so the matter froze there.
Guo Bingxiang ate and drank in the cage for a week, but he couldn't stay up and finally agreed to call his family.
After hearing Guo Bingxiang's voice, the Guo family was finally relieved, and immediately agreed with Zhang Ziqiang to meet at a coffee shop in Central, when Zhang Ziqiang proposed to meet at a coffee shop in Central, because the opposite side of the coffee shop was the police station, and the reason why he arranged it was to reassure the Guo family that he was only trying to make money, not for people's lives.
However, the Guo family proposed to choose their own meeting place, which Zhang Ziqiang was also very sincere, let the Guo family arrange at will, he held the mentality of the victim's family very stable, and it was expected that they would not call the police.
The next day, Zhang Ziqiang waited at the designated intersection according to the instructions of the Guo family, he was very trustworthy, did not carry any weapons, and went alone.
Soon the Guo family sent a vehicle to pick up Zhang Ziqiang, after he got on the car, the driver did not say a word, took him around Hong Kong for a long time before coming to the destination, at which time Zhang Ziqiang found that the guo family's negotiating place was at Sun Hung Kai's headquarters.
Zhang Ziqiang followed the driver to an office, Guo Bingxiang's mother Kuang Xiaoqing, wife Li Tianying and his two brothers have been waiting inside, after meeting Zhang Ziqiang did not have too much greeting, directly opened the door and said: "My brother and I want to pay some settlement fees, this little money is nothing to you, as long as you give it as much, in the future I Zhang Ziqiang promised not to trouble anyone in your family!" ”
This tone is also quite a bit of a forced protection fee, the Guo family asked how much they wanted, Zhang Ziqiang was silent for a few seconds, changing the previous 2 billion to 1 billion.
At that time, on the Hong Kong wealth list, the assets of the Guo family and Li Ka-shing were not much different, they were all hundreds of billionaires, 1 billion was nothing to them, Li Ka-shing gave 1 billion, he thought that the Guo family might not be able to bargain anymore.
The Guo family did as he thought, there was no bargaining, but Zhang Ziqiang had to take it out on the day of the deadline, and he also asked for the old currency, and the new currency of the consecutive number was not, which made people a little embarrassed.
Although these hundreds of billionaires say that there are many assets, most of them are stocks or real estate, who will keep so much cash? With 1 billion yuan in one day, the whole of Hong Kong except Li Ka-shing and Ho Hung-sun estimated that it would be difficult for anyone to do it, but Zhang Ziqiang demanded that this matter should not be publicized, otherwise the ticket would be torn up.
Li
Then the Guo family told him that it was very difficult to take out 1 billion yuan a day, which Zhang Ziqiang could also understand, at that time it was almost 10 days since the day Guo Bingxiang was tied up, the longer this kind of thing dragged on, the greater the variables, in order to quickly solve the matter, he took the initiative to reduce the ransom to 600 million.
The Guo family estimated that 600 million yuan in cash could still be done in a day, so they agreed to Zhang Ziqiang's request.
Early the next morning, Zhang Ziqiang came to the bank gate according to the agreement, the Guo family arranged two Mercedes-Benz cars, one of which was the driver who picked him up yesterday, the driver saw Zhang Ziqiang, and signaled the driver of the car behind him to hand over the car to Zhang Ziqiang, Zhang Ziqiang and an accomplice drove away, and there were several bags in the back seat of the car, which contained the 600 million yuan in cash he wanted.
After getting the money, Zhang Ziqiang also let go of Guo Bingxiang as promised.
The whole kidnapping case is over at this point, the above is Zhang Ziqiang's confession after his arrest, but there is another version of the rumors about this kidnapping, and the second version is closely related to Guo Bingxiang's later temperament change.
The three Guo brothers
Abandoned rich man
In the second version, Zhang Ziqiang initially wanted to ask the state for a ransom of 2 billion, 2 billion is simply a dime for this family of 100 billionaires, and it can be taken for a few days to prepare, but after hearing Zhang Ziqiang's request, Guo Bingxiang's two younger brothers Guo Bingxiang and Guo Binglian hesitated, not only that, Guo Bingxiang's biological mother Kuang Xiaoqing was also a bit reluctant to give up the 2 billion.
At the beginning of Guo Bingxiang's abduction, the Guo family had been hesitating between the two choices of calling the police and paying the ransom, and they had never heard Guo Bingxiang's voice, and they were unwilling to take the money out.
When Zhang Ziqiang learned of the Guo family's attitude, he beat Guo Bingxiang up in anger, stripped him naked, put him in a kneeling position, and gave him only a small amount of water and food every day.
At this time, Li Tianying, who has always been soft-spoken in the Guo family, stood up, Li Tianying is Guo Bingxiang's wife, she saw that the family could not come up with a solution, very worried about the safety of her husband, so she met Zhang Ziqiang alone, a woman who had been crawling and fighting in the giants for half a life, who was not afraid at all when facing the kidnappers, negotiated with Zhang Ziqiang for several hours, and successfully reduced the ransom negotiation of 2 billion to 600 million.
Li Tianying
Why did she cut the price? Because she felt the unreliability of the Guo family, she wanted to rescue her husband on her own, and she could only get 600 million Hong Kong dollars at most as a woman.
Zhang Ziqiang also saw the mentality of the Guo family, thinking that this trip could not be done in vain, having this 600 million is better than nothing, after all, if the Guo family dies and refuses to let go, he cannot really kill Guo Bingxiang.
In the end, Li Tianying successfully spent 600 million ransom to rescue her husband who had been trapped for 7 days, and the reputation of this "perfect daughter-in-law" was also a hit, and her mother-in-law, who had once looked down on her, suddenly looked at her differently.
Although Guo Bingxiang was successfully rescued, the abuse he had suffered in Zhang Ziqiang took root in his heart, and Guo Bingxiang began to become suspicious and frightened, especially when he learned that his mother and brother were not willing to take 2 billion to redeem him, Guo Bingxiang completely lost confidence in human nature, he no longer believed in anyone, and even saved his wife.
The Guo family also sensed Guo Bingxiang's abnormal mentality and advised him to see a psychiatrist, but how could the arrogant Guo Bingxiang tell others about that humiliating past, so he refused the kindness of his family.
A relationship that never returns
Guo Bingxiang used to be very spirited, and how gloomy he was after being kidnapped.
Let's look at the friendly negotiations between Li Ka-shing and the kidnappers after the kidnapping of Li Ka-shing's son, when Li Ka-shing also said that he would make up to a billion yuan in a day, and in order to show his sincerity, Li Ka-shing also took out all the 40 million spare cash in his family, and Zhang Ziqiang also saw Li Ka-shing's sincerity, and immediately released Li Gongzi before and after getting it.
After Li Zeju was kidnapped, he only made a phone call with his family, and only said a few words: "I am fine, don't worry, prepare the ransom, don't call the police." ”
Li Ka-shing negotiated with Zhang Ziqiang as quickly as possible after receiving the call, and the response demanded the ransom to be raised as quickly as possible, and Li Gongzi returned home unscathed after 24 hours of kidnapping.
In contrast, Guo Bingxiang, he was not so lucky, in Zhang Ziqiang, he suffered humiliation and torture, the reason for this consequence is not only his own non-cooperation, but also the hesitation and procrastination of the Guo family.
This proud son of heaven who grew up in the palm of his hand by everyone, no one can withstand such a gap, so it is not surprising that he has changed.
The series of great changes that have taken place in the country since then have a direct relationship with this kidnapping case.
In 1990, after Guo Desheng's death, he handed over the family property to his three sons, and the eldest son, Guo Bingxiang, rightfully took over the highest authority of his father.
The three brothers of the Guo family have been working together and supporting each other, making the Guo family's family business even larger than when his father was alive, and the common intrigues in the giants are completely invisible to the three of them, and even Li Ka-shing once envied Guo Desheng for giving birth to such an excellent three sons.
This harmonious scene lasted until 1997, after Guo Bingxiang was kidnapped, when his brother's life and death were at stake, the hesitation of the two brothers seriously hurt Guo Bingxiang's heart.
At the lowest time when Guo Bingxiang was at his lowest, his former first love Tang Jinxin came to his side, and under the explanation of his first love, Guo Bingxiang slowly recovered his fighting spirit.
During that time, the Hong Kong media often photographed the two of them in pairs, and there were even rumors that Tang Jinxin would marry into the Guo family to be small, whether Tang Jinxin wanted to go to Guo Bingxiang to be small, it is still unknown, but soon Guo Bingxiang arranged for Tang Jinxin = Xin to enter the family board, train her to become his right-hand man, and slowly control the overall situation of the enterprise.
Tang Jinxin
Tang Jinxin did not disappoint Guo Bingxiang, she installed a lot of her own people on the board of directors, resulting in the top management of The Guo enterprise spread her power, and her strength naturally caused Guo Bingxiang's two brothers to lose a lot of interests.
What Tang Jinxin did in Guo's enterprise, it is not difficult to see that Guo Bingxiang is wary of his brothers, their mother is also very anxious to see the scene of his brothers "killing", but Guo Bingxiang could not listen to any advice at that time, so she had to take the sword and take the side, as a mother, forcing Guo Bingxiang not to marry Tang Jinxin for the rest of her life, and wrote a letter of guarantee, guaranteeing that she would never divorce Li Tianying, and things developed to this point, and the internal relationship of the family had already fallen apart.
In 2008, Guo Binglian took out the relevant certificate issued by the American hospital, which said that Guo Bingxiang had a serious psychological disorder and was not suitable for mastering the entire family business, in the face of the sudden attack of his brothers, Guo Bingxiang was unable to prevent it, had no rebuttal, and finally had to give up his position as the chairman of the group, and his mother Kuang Xiaoqing continued to take over.
Guo Bingxiang is also not a vegetarian, he will not let anyone harm his interests, during the "recuperation" period he found relevant authoritative experts, proved that he did not have any mental problems, and returned to Sun Hung Kai to take up an important position.
Without Tang Jinxin's help, Guo Bingxiang would be unable to support himself even if he returned to the group, and he was ostracized by blood relatives everywhere.
In 2010, with the support of Tang Jinxin, Guo Bingxiang simply left Sun Hung Kai directly, set up his own portal, established the Imperial Group, and with his prestige in Hong Kong and smart business acumen, he soon made a comeback and occupied his own place in Hong Kong.
In 2013, just when Guo Bingxiang was in the limelight, his brothers were exposed to a scandal, and the entire Sun Hung Kai Group was caught in a corruption case, that is, the "corruption case of the century" that had been widely spread in Hong Kong. Guo Bingjiang was sentenced to 5 years in prison and fined 500,000 yuan, and although Guo Binglian was not in prison, he was also plagued by scandal.
After the defeat of his own brother, Guo Bingxiang's heart suddenly became softer, and he was no longer so tit-for-tat with Sun Hung Kai.
In 2018, Guo Bingxiang fell ill, and his life quickly came to an end, on October 21, Guo Bingxiang died of illness at the age of 68, all his property was still distributed by her mother, Mrs. Guo came forward and distributed all her property to Li Tianying and his children, and Tang Jinxin, who had been standing behind Guo Bingxiang, did not get a dime.
Kwong Xiaoqing
In this contest of capital, in the end, family affection won.
Guo Bingxiang's funeral was still personally carried out by his two brothers, and this ending made many insiders sigh, if Guo Bingxiang had not been kidnapped, or if after the kidnapping, his brothers were not so hesitant in the process of saving him, the three brothers may still remain harmonious as always, so that the top ten consortiums in Hong Kong may be another scene!
