She was once known as the first beauty of Macau, nicknamed "10 billion female gambling king", and has a lofty position in the Macau casino circle of drunken gold fans.
Although she is a female stream, her life is more wonderful than many boys, forbidden love, business wars, and magnate battles, and her life has interpreted these 12 words to the extreme.
His life experience has been called "more exciting than any movie" by the Macao media! Not even inferior to her brother "gambling king" Ho Hung-sun.
And she is he Wanqi, the "Tenth Sister of the Gambling King", a legendary woman!
He Wanqi
Forbidden Love
It is difficult to use any words to describe the beauty of He Wanqi when she was young, and her beauty, even now, can make many traffic stars bow to the wind.
From the picture, we can see that with a multi-national mixed bloodline, her facial features are deeper than ordinary Chinese, but she has inherited the unique soft beauty of Chinese, and she exudes extraordinary nobility between her smiles.
Perhaps, it is because of such beauty that He Wanqi's emotional road will go so bumpy.
She was the tenth oldest in the family, so everyone called her "Ten Girls", at that time, the beauty of the "Ten Girls" crowned the whole Shanghai Beach, those who admired her in Shanghai, as soon as they heard that she came to Shanghai, they would compete for courtesy, and among these dedicated people, they were all elites from all walks of life, bankers, soldiers, consuls, and children of the family...
Therefore, the hotel where He Wanqi lives has an endless stream of flowers delivered every day.
It can be said that since He Wanqi was young, many men have fallen under her pomegranate skirt and launched a crazy pursuit of her, but in the face of the pursuit of these men, He Wanqi has not moved.
He Wanqi thought that it would be difficult for her to meet true love in this life, but she did not expect that when she met her cousin who was 2 years younger, she completely fell.
One day in 1941, 18-year-old He Wanqi went to a family gathering.
She had thought that the party was as boring as ever, nothing more than adults talking about business, exchanging feelings, and getting to know relatives who had not met for several years.
But what He Wanqi did not expect was that this family gathering made her have an unexpected gain.
This windfall was her cousin, He Hongzhang.
He Hongzhang
At first sight, He Hongzhang was dressed in a proper suit and slowly walked towards He Wanqi with a glass of red wine in his hand.
At that time, He Hongzhang was 16 years old, and his appearance had just grown, and his tall nose bridge plus deep eyes were like the handsome male protagonist in the novel, so that He Wanqi only looked at it and fell into it.
"Cousin, I've seen your picture, I'm your cousin He Hongzhang, get to know me?"
After speaking, He Hongzhang handed the red wine to He Wanqi, and He Wanqi looked at the slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and his heart fluttered and jumped like a deer.
The two have received a Western-style education since childhood, the family is in business, and they have seen a lot of big worlds, so the two can talk about a lot of common topics.
Chatting and chatting, the two felt more and more that they hated each other, and finally, the two exchanged contact information, and told each other that they must contact each other often.
After this, He Wanqi and her cousin He Hongzhang often went out to play, and as the exchanges increased, the feelings became deeper and deeper, and finally they naturally talked about love.
However, unfortunately, although He Wanqi and He Hongzhang did not care about the world's vision and chose to be together, their family especially cared about the world's eyes and resolutely opposed the two of them being together.
In order to separate the two of them, the families of both sides did everything they could.
In the end, He Hongzhang was sent to the United States by his parents to study, and He Wanqi married Mai Zhiwei at the will of his family.
Although she became Mai Zhiwei's wife, He Wanqi never forgot He Hongzhang, and over the years, she has been waiting for He Hongzhang to return to China.

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it is 7 years later.
This year, He Hongzhang ended his coursework abroad and returned to China for development, and soon after returning to China, He Wanqi tried to find a way to get in touch with him.
When we met again, He Hongzhang looked at He Wanqi's face for a long time, He Wanqi was still the same as 7 years ago, without the slightest change, time had not left any traces on her face, she was still so beautiful.
"Sister, have you had a good life all these years?"
"Hmmm... I'm doing well. ”
He Wanqi smiled slightly, this laugh broke the awkward atmosphere between the two, but also let the two find a feeling of heartbeat, after that, He Hongzhang told He Wanqi about the interesting things that happened when he studied abroad, He Wanqi gave him the changes in the country over the years, and the two talked for a long time...
After meeting again, the two rekindled their old love and fell in love again.
However, the love between the two is not allowed by the family after all, so the love between the two is hidden from the family, which is the so-called "underground love".
How much does He Wanqi really love He Hongzhang?
This is difficult to describe in three words and two words, but we can glimpse it from He Wanqi's later life experience.
At that time, after He Wanqi became pregnant with He Hongzhang's child, the best choice should have been to go to the hospital to beat it, but He Wanqi did not choose to do so, but left the child behind, and named her illegitimate children Mai Shunming and Mai Huiyu, and raised them in the name of her husband Mai Zhiwei.
As for the fact that Mai Shunming and Mai Huiyu are not Mai Zhiwei's children, He Wanqi did not choose to make it public, but the appearance of the two children could not deceive people, and the two children and Mai Zhiwei did not have the slightest resemblance, so people in high society tacitly had the same answer to the question of whether the two children were Mai Zhiwei's own children.
However, although some people know that Mai Shunming and Mai Huiyu are not Mai Zhiwei's own children, they still choose to keep it secret, after all, the "He Family" is not something that ordinary people can offend.
Although He Wanqi is a female stream, she is the sister of the "gambling king" He Hongshen, and is also one of the 5 members of the board of directors of He Hongshen's Australian Entertainment, and she held 7.3% of the shares of Australian Entertainment in that year, and was nicknamed "Ten Billion Female Gambling King".
Coupled with the fact that her lover He Hongzhang is still the helmsman of the third generation of the He Dong family, people who want to provoke her naturally have to weigh whether they are qualified or not.
Business wars are buoyant
Speaking of He Wanqi's family history, we have to mention her brother He Hongshen, it can be said that the two have achieved each other.
However, He Wanqi is not a flower shelf with only beauty, and her name of shrewdness and ability has spread in the He family long before He Hongshen's service.
In 1958, after returning to Hong Kong, Ho Wan Qi joined Ho Tung Company, which was one of the four major families in Hong Kong at that time, and the ruler He Dong was Ho Wan Qi's uncle.
After He Wanqi joined the group, she did her best to help He Dong do things and help the family to open up the market, because of her outstanding performance, she quickly gained the weight and trust of He Dong.
Under the trust of He Dong, He Wanqi knows a lot about whether it is the family's confidential business or other family affairs.
It is worth mentioning that her lover He Hongzhang also works in the He Dong Group, and many people believe that He Wanqi and He Hongzhang had an unforgettable relationship during this period.
Ho Wan Qi and Ho Hung Sun
After 15 years, He Wanqi chose to retire and came to settle in the United States.
The first half of her life was vigorous, the second half of her life was plain, she thought that her life was like this, but she did not expect that her "ninth brother" He Hongshen invited her to "re-emerge from the jianghu" and asked He Wanqi to help him create a business empire affiliated with him.
There is no doubt that the reason why He Hongshen pulled down his son to invite the "Tenth Sister" to reappear in the jianghu was to see her business acumen and management ability.
At the behest of Ho, Ho wan-chi finally agreed to his request and re-emerged from the jianghu and began to manage the Casino Lisboa business in 1977 as the executive deputy general manager of Australian entertainment.
Under her meticulous management, the industry under The Australian Entertainment industry flourished, and in the 1980s, the company's business volume soared to a monthly income of 100 million yuan.
When He Hongshen saw that He Wanqi had taken care of the property so beautifully, he had more appreciation and trust for He Wanqi.
Since 1988, Ho has also served as a director of Shun Tak Group, managing Casino Lisboa.
Casino is easy to breed violent brawls, as a woman, in the face of such a violent scene, she is never afraid, if the scream can not retreat, she will not leave any affection for anyone, directly let the bodyguard throw the trouble out of the casino.
In terms of casino management, her methods are more vigorous, she adheres to the practice of living in the capable, laying off those who are incompetent old employees, and specially bringing in capable young people to work.
Under this management, the entire casino ushered in a vigorous development like a big change of blood, at the same time, He Wanqi's reputation also spread throughout Macao, they called He Wanqi "ten billion female gambling king", and even circulated such a sentence: "Ten girls" out of a sound, the whole casino will be shaken.

The big fight
It is said that people have money and are not many, let alone a tycoon like "He Jia"?
He Wanqi helped her brother Ho Hongshen to manage the family business all her life, but she never thought of ending up with a share transfer and a director being fired.
And all this has to start with He Wanqi and He Hongzhang's illegitimate son Mai Shunming.
On the afternoon of June 4, 2001, Mai Shunming held a press conference and broke out a shocking insider, on that day, he excitedly said to the reporters in the audience:
"It is absolutely true that Mr. He Hongzhang is my father, and I am so honored to have such a father, and this matter is known to many people in high society."
Is Mai Shunming crazy? Why did he blow himself up?
Mai Shunming (right)
In fact, the reason why Mai Shunming chose to explode his identity is because of the fact that He Hongshen's friend asked He Wanqi for 12 million debts.
Mai Shunming wanted to use his identity to clarify the matter and prove that he did not borrow money from others.
He said at the press conference: "My mother would not ask Ho Hongshen to find a job, how could I ask someone to borrow money, ask Ho Hongshen to borrow money, he would tell me that it was better to go to my uncle, that is, my father." ”
After saying this, Mai Shunming explained why he was not surnamed He, saying that his mother and Mai Zhiwei were married to his biological father, That is, He Hongzhang, and he was the child born to his mother and He Hongzhang. As for why he did not divorce Mai Zhiwei, mainly because the older generation could not accept divorce, so Mai Zhiwei and his mother were still husband and wife in name, and he naturally became Mai Zhiwei's child, and he followed Mai Zhiwei's surname.
Since then, Ho Hung-sun and He Wanqi have turned against each other.
The feud between the two seems to be caused by 12 million debts, but secretly there is a deeper reason.
As early as many years ago, He Wanqi tried to transfer the shares of Aoyu to the MVI company opened with her son Mai Shunming, but for some reason, Aoyu has not added MVI to the shareholder register, that is to say, Ho Hongshen does not agree to her doing so.
In January 2002, state media broke the news that Ho had removed her sister Ho Wanqi from the position of executive director and announced that Ho would no longer hold any day-to-day management positions for the company.
Immediately after, Ho Hung-sin began to allow his fourth wife, Liang Anqi, to meddle in the affairs of Australian entertainment, and it was obvious that Ho Hongshen wanted Liang Anqi to control Australian entertainment and kick He Wanqi out.
Finally, in 2005, He Hongshen found a reason to disrupt the company's order and damage the company's interests many times, and kicked He Wanqi out of the board.
But do you think that's the end of it?
In July 2008, Ho took her brother Ho Hung Sun to court, completely tearing his face off with him and becoming an enemy of Bo Gongtang.
In court, she claimed that ho Hung-sin had coerced her into working for the company by threatening her and Ho Hongzhang's unrequited love, and in addition, she also broke the news that she had invested 2 million yuan in equity, and said that Ho Hongshen diluted his equity and owed her 300 million Hong Kong dollars in interest on shares.
After this, He Wanqi's former lover He Hongzhang also inserted a foot backwards, suing He Wanqi in court, asking her to return the 2 million yuan and the corresponding shares of the investment given to her earlier.
He Hongzhang's prosecution made He Wanqi see his true face completely, and also made He Wanqi feel disheartened, she did not expect that she had worked hard all her life, but she was calculated by her brother and old lover.
In the end, she lost her lawsuit with Ho Hung-sin; she won her lawsuit with Ho Hung-cheung.
One loss and one win, she got nothing.
In June 2018, He Wanqi passed away.
Before she died, she still could not forget her grudge with He Hongshen, and she called her children to the front, leaving behind the last words of "He Hongshen's return of money".
Throughout He Wanqi's life, shenfu Shanghai has become a strong woman in the business world for several years, daring to love and dare to hate a non-merciless love has been sung to this day, but since the fate of the ancient red face, in her later years, she rebelled and was separated by her brother and old lover, and it is really regrettable that she ended up like this.
