On July 3, 2021, the man who was despised by men across Hong Kong walked out of prison.
He once maneuvered with Gong Xinru, the richest woman in Asia, constantly defrauding property on the grounds of watching feng shui, and even developed a romantic relationship with Gong Xinru in the case of having a wife and children, becoming the biggest "soft rice man" spurned by all Hong Kong people.
He is "Mr. Feng Shui" Chen Zhencong.
This move, not only him personally, but also connected to the "feng shui world" has also been implicated to a certain extent, and feng shui has once again fallen into the question of "deception".
"The combination of selfishness and greed will hatch many poisonous snakes that harm others", is there anything wrong with feng shui, what is wrong is actually the human heart that has been swallowed up by greed.
This matter has gradually disappeared in the torrent of social development, and after the storm, what has surfaced is people's further views on feng shui.
In the name of love, he vainly tried to deceive the rich woman of 80 billion
What led to Chen Zhencong's arrest and imprisonment was actually a case of inheritance division.
After Gong Xinru's death, two wills unexpectedly appeared, one held by his family and the other held by Chen Zhencong, but the content of the two wills was very different.
In the will held by her family, Gong Xinru's intention is to donate all her assets to her charity, and in the will in the hands of Chen Zhencong, Chen Zhencong is the sole heir to all of Gong Xinru's estates.
Only one of these two wills is true, in fact, even onlookers can see the authenticity of this will in Chen Zhencong's hand, but without a real hammer is slander. Everyone is looking forward to the court's verdict.
During this period, Chen Zhencong also did many despicable things in order to win this lawsuit, and also let Hong Kong people see how bottomless a person can be for money.
Chen Zhencong first posted an intimate photo of the two people, seeing that the response was not enough, and then posted a private video of the two people, the content was unbearable.
What is even more bizarre is that he directly used the underwear of the deceased Gong Ruxin as evidence in court, completely ignoring the dignity of the deceased, ignoring the dignity of his wife and children, and even his own dignity.
In the face of the scorn of Hong Kong people, Chen Zhencong played the emotional card, he said: Is it wrong to like a woman 23 years older than himself?
Chen Zhencong's wife knew this and also supported her husband, helped prove their couple's identity, and fully supported her husband in competing for property.
In fact, when Chen Zhencong's wife Tan Miaoqing married him, he was still destitute, and Tan Miaoqing repeatedly said that he was not afraid of hardship after following him.
Time has passed, and the interests have blinded the eyes of the two, and they have also mutilated their young children, who do not know how their children will see their parents when they grow up in such a context.
Justice prevailed, and the court finally handed down a fair verdict, which the judge said was the worst case he had ever dealt with, and after delivering the verdict, angrily denounced his greed.
In February 2013, the final verdict in the case was: Gong Ruxin's HK$80 billion estate. All were taken over by its charitable foundations and Chen Zhencong was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Coupled with Chen Zhencong's two previous defeats, he also had to supply the Gong Ruxin family with 2.064 billion yuan of feng shui fees on the grounds of feng shui fees and pay the 360 million yuan of taxes owed by his own company.
Chen Zhencong entered the prison destitutely, but even in prison, Chen Zhencong lived "optimistically", he firmly believed that he was innocent, and even said that when he was released from prison, he would continue to fight for the inheritance.
Chen Zhencong's path of deception
There is no unprovoked love, no unprovoked hate, everything has its source.
The source of Chen Zhencong's current psychological state, like most criminals, is still the misfortune of the family and the fear of poverty.
When Chen Zhencong was young, he lived in the old house, his father fell ill early, Chen Zhencong dropped out of school early to support his family, during which he did all the dirty work, but his income was not as good as expenditure.
A person without a good education, without moral constraints, is more difficult to control the original nature of people, and it is easy to take a crooked road, which is what is called "human nature is inherently evil."
After repeated business failures, 27-year-old Chen Zhencong gradually embarked on the road of deception and never returned, which led to this "soft rice man" incident.
Chen Zhencong's first crime was in 1986, when Chen Zhencong was a 27-year-old young man, when he pretended to be a doctor, opened 4 credit cards, cashed out, and cashed out as much as 100,000 yuan.
Chen Zhencong, who earned the first bucket of gold in his life, tasted the "sweetness" of cheating, but when he began to handle the fifth credit card, he was finally caught by the bank and left a lifelong case.
Often walking by the river, where there are not wet shoes, the road to making quick money is not destined to be smooth.
I thought that Chen Zhencong could stop and embark on the right path, but in the middle of the road, he met his current wife Tan Miaoqing, who did not dislike Chen Zhencong's poverty, but also let him live in his own low-rent house and take care of Chen Zhencong.
Society has given Chen Zhencong the greatest tolerance, and he deceives to "repay" everyone who treats him well.
Later, when Chen Zhencong pretended to be a master of water style and started a class, he accidentally met the local rich woman Gong Ruxin, whose husband was kidnapped by robbers and his whereabouts were unknown.
On the day Chen Zhencong met Gong Ruxin, he had just been married to his wife Tan Miaoqing for three days.
Chen Zhencong took advantage of Gong Ruxin's attachment to her husband to act as a feng shui master to defraud Gong Ruxin, at the same time, Chen Zhencong did not forget to observe the color of his words and throw in his favor.
It is also in this way that Chen Zhencong earned the first bucket of gold in Gong Ruxin, a massage fee of 53,000 yuan, and also captured Gong Ruxin's heart and became a real "soft rice man".
In 2007, Chan spent HK$1.5 billion to buy a private jet in Dubai, becoming the first person in the world to purchase the plane in his personal capacity, after chan had already spent HK$280 million on a private jet.
In 2015, Chen Zhencong made HK$3.2 billion from Gong Ruxin and started his own company, and since then, Gong Xinru has continued to pay his company.
Nevertheless, after Gong Xinru's death, Chen Zhencong did not forget to claim her inheritance.
Along with the Chen Zhencong incident, there is also Chinese feng shui culture that has surfaced, is China's feng shui really a tool for swaggering fraud?
In fact, this is not the case, feng shui has a long history in the mainland, is a theory involving a lot of scientific content, although it is mixed with many feudal ideological components, but the scientific significance of feng shui is more extensive.
Why Hong Kong people believe in feng shui
In the feng shui tradition to the present, the most trusted place in feng shui is Hong Kong.
As an international metropolis at the forefront of the world, why is it so "superstitious" about this traditional doctrine?
If we want to mention the importance of Feng Shui in Hong Kong, we have to mention the Hong Kong "Central Feng Shui Fighting Method" incident, which is famous for involving three giants: HSBC, Bank of China and Li Ka-shing's Yangtze River Group.
The shape of the Bank of China Building is particularly like a sword, Mr. Feng Shui said, this sword split to Fenghui Bank, hearing this, the Summit Bank immediately set up two decorative cannons at the top of the building, breaking the "split" of the Bank of China Building, sandwiched between the two buildings, the Yangtze River Group Building was attacked by the enemy, and simply built a shield appearance.
When this matter becomes a joke after dinner, in fact, we can easily find the law behind the event, for Hong Kong people, feng shui has a certain commercial value.
People who do business believe in feng shui, and naturally have their reasons.
In the mall, although many things are regular and feasible, there are still unpredictable accidents, and a small probability of "black swan" events is enough to easily harvest the company's years of hard work. Under this game with probability, even Buffett, the god of stocks, cannot accurately determine which stock can soar.
People who do business, who don't want to be foolproof and have all the best.
Therefore, for businessmen, feng shui is more of a psychological sustenance. However, there are so many kinds of psychological sustenance, why did you choose feng shui?
The root cause of this problem can be traced back from a historical point of view, in 1842, a large number of Hakka people came to Hong Kong to develop, and it was at this time that the feng shui doctrine was introduced to Hong Kong, and the Hakka people were active in all corners of Hong Kong with their efforts and struggles, and many of these people had low-level workers and higher-level managers.
These people became the "billboards" for the feng shui doctrine to move, and the feng shui doctrine penetrated into Hong Kong step by step.
If this is the case alone, it can be accepted by so many Hong Kong people, and other doctrines that were introduced to Hong Kong earlier should also have a place.
According to statistics, in 2012, the proportion of Buddhist believers in China has reached 246.6 million, accounting for 18% of the total population, and the data in Thailand has reached 99%, while the number of Chinese feng shui believers is 145 million, of which 141 million believe in the god of wealth.
Propaganda is only a means, can be accepted, but also depends on their own real talent, after all, no one is a fool, let alone those shrewd entrepreneurs.
In fact, the biggest advantage of feng shui theory compared to other theories is the scientific nature and the close correlation with architecture, which is also looking for spiritual sustenance, why not find a closer to the needs?
In the thousands of years of feng shui development, some people have learned from feng shui to argue science, some people rely on feng shui to deceive, feng shui itself is not wrong, the wrong is the use of feng shui to do evil people.
Among the many contents of feng shui theory, what we should learn and what we should abandon is a topic that all feng shui scholars and people who believe in feng shui should pay more attention to.
Most people tend to only pay attention to Feng Shui's interpretation of personal destiny, and it is precisely with this idea that Gong Xinru has come to such a result, compared to the "Central Feng Shui Fighting Method", which is still somewhat humorous and witty.
