The large-scale "Xiangjiang Giant Series" of the "Gambler Family" series has been updated.
It is still a struggle over the issue of inheritance: He Chaoxian, the second daughter of the big house, sued He Chaoqiong, the eldest daughter of the second house, in court.
Ho chiu-hyun questioned Ho Chao-chung's claim that the gambling king's inheritance was "at least 1.7 billion yuan", saying that documents related to the estate had been found in the bedroom drawer of his father, Ho Hung-sun, amounting to more than 11 billion yuan.
But in the end, this inheritance dispute case ended with He Chaoqiongfang winning the lawsuit in an all-round way.
The judgment rejected Ho Chao-hsien's request to add a "joint estate administrator", and Ho Chao-chung's proposal to act as an estate trustee was supported by all members of the second and third and fourth rooms.
This battle, it is obvious that the second room has won a big victory.
This is also a strange result for the big house that has always been weak.
When I wrote the news of the gambling king's house women before, there were many small partners in the comment area who were very interested in the relatively mysterious big room of their home:
OK, today we will talk about what the wife and children of the gambling king Who have been said to be the "most miserable room" have experienced?
Ho Hung-sun with the Dafang family
After the death of the gambling king, the most depicted areas of him in media articles were basically placed in the history of his four house women and living love.
But in fact, as a generation of legendary tycoons, the gambling king He Hongshen's ability and opportunities in the establishment of a business empire are very anti-heavenly.
Don't look at the various renderings on the market now that he "broke into Macau for 10 yuan", in fact, He Hongshen was a standard rich young master when he was a child.
Born in 1921, Ho was the ninth child of Ho Sai Kwong, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman at the time.
At the age of 7, he was sent to study at The Queen's College, the most powerful aristocratic school in Hong Kong at that time, and was a place where he had walked out of Sun Yat-sen, Liao Zhongkai and other cattle people, including Fok Ying Tung, a classmate who later started a business with Ho Hung-sin.
When he was a child, He Hongsheng lived a beautiful life of a group of servants and a golden food, which can be said to be "from the unknown what it is like to be sad".
So sometimes don't be too fed chicken soup by the inspirational story of "poor boy counterattacking the upper class".
A little more careful understanding will know that there is any natural "poor boy", people are born in the "top stream".
Unfortunately, this kind of good life with its own highlight did not last long, when He Hongshen was 13 years old, He Shiguang's stock collapsed, and the He family changed from rich and noble to poor jingle overnight.
The father ran away, leaving his mother and the family with a big mess. His mother gave him two choices: one was to fight for a scholarship on his own, and the other was to go out with other siblings and now work to earn money.
Stanley Ho chose the first, and indeed earned an acceptance letter and scholarship from the University of Hong Kong through hard work.
Later, Ho also responded to the call to enlist in the army and became an operator in the air defense alarm room.
It was also during this period that he met his long-lost uncle He Gantang, a wealthy merchant, and worked for Mr. Saito, a wealthy Japanese businessman, under the introduction of He Gantang.
This is the beginning of the legendary "10 Hong Kong dollars to Macau".
At that time, Ho Hung-sun had a good physique and was particularly diligent and studious. Once the boss forgot to bring the phone book, Ho Hung-sun directly memorized the customer's phone number in one breath, and said that all the more than 2,000 telephone numbers in Macau at that time, he memorized all of them.
This ability makes the boss look at him instantly and give him more important matters of the company.
Sure enough, opportunity is always left to those who are prepared.
In order to better take over the work, Ho hung up for a night school to learn Portuguese.
It was also in the same period that he met his first wife, Lai Wan Hua, the "first beauty of Macau Street" at that time, who was Portuguese.
Although at that time, He Hongshen was just a "little pony boy" who worked for others, but from his experience as a rich young master, he still always showed a well-dressed, aesthetic online, proficient in music and other fun of the aristocratic young master, and soon captured the heart of the great beauty.
Lai Wan Hua's mother's family was also a very wealthy existence at that time, so Lai Wan Hua's father also let Ho HongShen express his position at the wedding of the two of them that year: rejecting the "three wives and four concubines" tradition of Hong Kong and Macao that they were still following the Qing Dynasty law, following the Portuguese "monogamous" system to marry Lai Wan Hua, and directly joined the Portuguese nationality.
After getting married, the two did spend a long time in the days of "fairy lovers".
Lai Wan Hua and her mother-in-law have always supported Ho Hongshen's casino career, and their loving figure has always been a beautiful landscape in various high-class social occasions at that time.
Li Wanhua also gave birth to three daughters and a son for him.
At that time, Huo Yingdong married a three-room wife, and Wang Yongqing also had a three-room wife.
Therefore, compared with other wealthy businessmen in the same period, it can be seen that He Hongshen at that time was still quite faithful to his promises.
But in 1957, Li Wanhua suddenly developed colitis, which was still very serious, and Ho Hongshen took her around to seek medical treatment.
At the most dangerous and turbulent moment, she insisted on flying to England with her wife for treatment, but Li Wanhua still had her stomach removed and could only eat liquid food.
Life was picked up, but the body was really collapsed, Li Wanhua was violently thin to only 70 pounds, and she could only stay at home to recuperate every day.
But at that time, He Hongshen was in his prime, his career had just begun to take off, and he often needed to go in and out of social occasions, and there was no hostess who could take charge inside and outside the family, which was obviously a bit embarrassing.
Therefore, although he loved Li Wanhua very much, He Hongshen still chose to invoke the laws of the Great Qing and married the second wife, Lan Qiongyi, into the door.
Lan Qiongyi was born into a famous family, her grandfather was a general, and her father graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy.
She herself is also quite capable, and for a long time was Ho Hongshen's right hand man in career and family.
At this time, Mrs. Li Wanhua was unfortunately in a car accident in Portugal, and she was in a coma for a whole month, and her health was even worse after waking up. Therefore, when it came to "Mrs. He", everyone defaulted to the blue qiongmiao of the second room.
But the "big lady" is not easy to mess with.
In order to "frustrate" the sharp edge of the second room at that time, Li Wanhua sent chen Wanzhen, the caretaker of her for many years, to He Hongshen's side and became his third wife, in order to share Ho Hongshen's "exclusive favor" for the second room.
Although she was born as a caregiver, Chen Wanzhen when she was young was absolutely eye-catching in terms of appearance and temperament.
But now everyone can see that there is no eternal enemy in this kind of rich family.
In the famous "several-room property dispute incident" in 2018, the third house firmly stood with the second house, and did not consider the life and death of the descendants of the big house, but the fourth room wife Liang Anqi stood up and won a little asset for the women of the big house.
Before that, Liang Anqi of the fourth room was the most favored wife of Ho Hongshen in her later years, when Chen Wanzhen was closest to her, and together with the children, they got along more closely than the other rooms.
At the same time that the two bedrooms and three rooms were "competing" with each other, Li Wanhua of the big room finally died of illness in 2004.
Ho Hung-sin held a special funeral for her, and Macau also specially lowered its flag to half-mast to mourn her.
Unfortunately, after the death of the mother, the unfortunate fate of the children left behind did not stop there.
He Youguang, the eldest son who was originally regarded as the first heir to the throne, suffered a car accident in Portugal like his mother, and died in the car with his wife on the spot, leaving a pair of young daughters.
Here is a brief introduction to He Youguang's wife, Suki Potier, who is also a very story-telling female classmate.
He has been associated with The Guinness Heir tara Browne and rolling stones Brian Jones, both of whom have died bizarrely.
It's really weird and legendary...
After his mother and his dearest brother both died one after another, He Chaoying, the eldest daughter of the big house who was also pinned high hopes, could not suffer such a heavy blow, and later directly had a mental abnormality.
Her whole being began to go crazy and behave very strangely.
You must know that she has been on Fortune magazine's "Global Fifty Business Strong women" list before.
Before, she was also a super beautiful person who was super good from appearance to connotation, and was very temperamental.
He also often appeared at various public events with his father, and was interested in becoming the heir.
It was also once the famous "social queen" of Vanity Fair.
Later, in order to marry the family, he married Siu Pak Shing, the son of a tycoon in the Hong Kong funeral industry.
But in the end, this marriage mixed with too many family factors is difficult to last, and the two still end up divorcing.
The time of divorce also happened to be the same time as the car accident of his younger brother He Youguang, so He Chaoying at that time was indeed burdened with pressure and pain that ordinary people could not imagine.
The wedding of He Chaoying and Xiao Baicheng
Later, in order to forget these pains, He Chaoying and his daughter went abroad to travel to more than 20 countries for 14 years.
After his death in 2014, there was not even a decent tombstone.
In the days before her death, she also showed a strange "return to nature": she liked to wear children's clothes and lived in Disney suites all year round.
Perhaps only then can she pretend that she is still living in the loving and carefree life of her parents when she was a child.
Comparatively speaking, the second daughter, He Chaoxian, is still living a relatively good life.
The husband is a Dane, and when they got married, Ho Hung-sun and Lai Wan-wah were still in love.
Having a daughter after marriage, life is very happy.
He Chaoxian loves art and has lived in the United States for 7 years.
Earning money from his own sculptures, he also opened a gallery in Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong.
The youngest daughter, He Chaoxiong, has always been not very favored by her father, and went to TVB for an internship with he Chaoqiong, the eldest daughter of the second house, in the early years, but did not mix up any actual achievements.
Now in charge of Macau Yiyuan Racing Dog Co., Ltd., although it has no great power, at least there is less need to worry about life.
However, in recent years, she has often gone to the news and court with her sister because of the distribution of property, which cannot help but make people sigh.
The grandchildren further down, these years and the gambling king family basically have no binding relationship.
At present, the two sisters He Jiahua and He Jiawen, and the two daughters of the eldest son, He Youguang, are still more active in front of the curtain.
The gambling king has always been very concerned about their growth, and even gave some of his SJM shares to them. They are also the only members of the big house who have a share.
The young granddaughter He Jiawen likes jewelry and has become a well-known jewelry designer in the industry, and rarely mentions family topics in interviews.
He even said: "Deliberately concealing one's life is to be treated as a normal person and be an ordinary person." ”
Her designs are heavily influenced by her grandmother, Lai Wan-wah, blending different Chinese and Western design inspirations.
There has always been a continuous output of excellent works.
Daily participation in activities, and several other house women relationship also keep very good.
And the eldest granddaughter, He Jiahua, had breast cancer stage 3 in her early years, and He Hongshen himself did not even know it.
Later, after recovering from the disease, He Jiahua came to visit his grandfather with a short hair after chemotherapy, and He Hongshen, who was also in a wheelchair and was not very sensitive, took her hand and asked her: "Why cut your hair so short?" ”
When He Jiahua got married that year, the gambling king also took the place of her father He Youguang and held an umbrella to send her to marry.
After recovering, He Jiahua has also been speaking out for women's equal rights in recent years.
Women's teams have been established in many places in Hong Kong and Macao, committed to breaking down gender barriers.
Compared with the tragic encounters of the children' generations, the granddaughter's line is finally "blossoming and fruiting and living in peace".
After writing these stories of the gambling king long house, to be honest, the mood is still quite complicated.
It is often said that we are in the same boat together, but sometimes we can't share the joy of the world together. The feeling is that the big son of the gambling king is the most accurate description of it.
