How did Chan Wing-yan transform from a casino stacker with nothing to a famous "little gambler" in Macau and marry the famous actress An Yixuan? How did he step by step on the path of crime?
First, the fujian stacked code tsai's road to prosperity
When you think of Macau, the first thing that comes to mind is the Macau casino.
Macau Casinos
This special industry in Macao, known as the "gaming industry", was legalized after the return of Macau to macao because of its pillar role in the economic development of Macao.
And Macau casinos have also emerged many rich people who have made a fortune as a result.
Xi Mihua (formerly known as Zhou Zhuohua), Chen Ronglian and Ji Xiaobo are all "rich generations" who made their fortunes by running casinos.
And Chen Ronglian's history of his family can be said to be a typical example of starting from scratch to a millionaire.
Chen Ronglian
Chen Ronglian was originally a native of Fujian, and after graduating from primary school, he followed his brother to live in Macau, completed his studies in Macau and entered the Macau casino.
Macau's casinos are a mixed bag of powerful people.
When Chen Ronglian first came to work in the casino, because his mind was still relatively simple, he often could not understand the scenes of people fighting openly and secretly in the casino.
As a result, Chen Ronglian was often criticized by casino owners for not having the strength to see.
Gradually, Chen Ronglian touched some routines and began to familiarize himself with the discourse logic of the so-called casino bosses.
Groping around in the casino has transformed Chen Ronglian from a non-talkative person into a sociable social cattleman.
As a result, Chen Ronglian has become a well-known stacked yard boy in the casino, and many new guests are introduced by Chen Ronglian.
In addition, Chen Ronglian also took care of the task of accepting loans.
At that time, when Chen Ronglian entered the gaming industry, Macau had not yet returned.
Chan Often said that before the return of Macao, the Portuguese were respected, and Chinese was not only ostracized by the Portuguese, but also despised by the Portuguese government.
Therefore, it is not easy for Chen Ronglian to mix some fame in Macau casinos.
After The return of Macao to the motherland in 1999, the "Macao Basic Law" and the "Two Systems" enabled Macao to retain and develop its pillar industry, the gaming industry, which expanded rapidly.
In 2002 alone, Macau's gross gaming revenue reached MOP23.496 billion.
Chen Ronglian caught up with the most popular time in the gaming industry, quickly accumulated capital in a few years, and became a "gaming rookie" with a value of tens of billions.
Chen Ronglian
Mr. Chan amassed a lot of capital over the course of several years, and he recouped $265 million in just seven months at the Sands Casino, which opened in May 2004.
In 2006, Macau became China's "Las Vegas" and became the "world's first casino".
In 2007, Chan Wing-yan took advantage of the development momentum of the gaming industry to establish the Macau Dejin Group.
The group has long been ranked among the four largest gaming intermediaries in Macau, and its market share is second only to sun city founded by Shammihua.
De jin Group's business is mainly in Macau for the corresponding casino VIP lounge, and later expanded to involve integrated entertainment, real estate and even other industries.
Chen Ronglian
After Chen Ronglian made his business bigger, he naturally thought of "leaning back against the mountains to cool off", so Chen Ronglian began to negotiate relations with Hong Kong's business tycoons.
Chen Ronglian first opened a casino at the casino of the Galaxy Entertainment Star Hotel owned by the "King of stone mines" Lui Che Woo Group.
After that, he got closer and closer to the "gambling king" He Hongshen's family, and began to open a number of VIP halls in the casino of the gambling king He Hongshen.
Ho
In 2010, Chan Wing-lin purchased 1.28 billion shares of Reeds Macau from Stanley Chan Wan-jin, the third wife of Stanley Ho, at a price of HK$1.05 per share, at a total cost of $1.344 billion.
Such a huge amount made Chen Ronglian the second largest shareholder of Legendale.
This time, Chen Ronglian also completed the transformation from a migrant boy to a "small gambling king" in Macao, and became a new gambling tycoon in Macau.
On Chen Ronglian's road to prosperity, he also met many partners, and Wash Mihua was one of them.
However, it was also the exposure of the rice washing incident that made Chen Ronglian's illegal and criminal activities exposed, and he was eventually arrested by the police.
Regarding Chen Ronglian, many people feel very strange.
This is because Chen Ronglian is relatively low-key and almost does not appear in the media news.
In addition to the insiders in Macau's gaming industry, few people know about Chen Ronglian.
It is also his low-key personality that makes Chan Wing-lien's illegal activities go unnoticed by the Macau police.
Chen Ronglian and An Yixuan
But it wasn't until Chen Ronglian began to pursue Taiwanese actress An Yixuan that he gradually entered the public eye.
An Yixuan's high-profile happiness has pushed Chen Ronglian into the field of media attention, and also made Chen Ronglian the object of police attention.
Second, the crazy pursuit of moving big stars
An Yixuan is a famous star in Taiwan, and the "Legend of the Paladin Sword" filmed with Hu Ge and Liu Yifei in 2004 was able to explode with the role of Lin Yueru.
Lin Yueru, played by An Yixuan
At that time, Chen Ronglian was already a wealthy Businessman in Macau sitting on hundreds of billions of assets.
Chen Ronglian and An Yixuan met at a dinner party, when Chen Ronglian was immediately attracted by An Yixuan's beauty and launched a crazy pursuit of An Yixuan.
However, An Yixuan is also from a rich family and is not cold to Chen Ronglian's status as a rich businessman.
Ann Yixuan
Coupled with the fact that An Yixuan had two failed relationships before, she once fell into disappointment in love.
Therefore, in 2013, when Chen Ronglian began to pursue An Yixuan, An Yixuan also decisively said: "I am not so easy to chase." ”
But Chen Ronglian did not give up and launched a crazy pursuit along the way.
Ann Yixuan
At that time, An Yixuan often had to fly all over the country and attend various events.
No matter how busy Chen Ronglian was, he would take time to fly to where An Yixuan was, and then arrange An Yixuan's life before and after the saddle.
Once, An Yixuan attended the Paris Fashion Week in France and got on a plane to France.
Chen Ronglian then went to France and sat in a restaurant near the hotel where An Yixuan was staying, just to see An Yixuan.
An Yixuan also claimed in an interview with the media: "After getting married, I knew that he was so busy, and I really don't know how he spent those three years." ”
The "three years" that An Yixuan calls is the three years that Chen Ronglian started to pursue her until the eve of the marriage of the two people, during which Time Chen Ronglian always accompanied An Yixuan.
Wherever An Yixuan went, he was there.
Macau's "little gambler" chases female stars everywhere all day, and the idol drama-like plot unfolds between the two.
And Chen Ronglian also knows that after An Yixuan experienced two failed feelings, what he needed more was love and companionship.
Therefore, he has always cared for An Yixuan.
An Yixuan wore high heels and his feet hurt, and Chen Ronglian immediately went to the neighborhood to buy a pair of sneakers for An Yixuan to change into.
What An Yixuan wanted, Chen Ronglian would buy even if he spent a huge amount of money.
In this pursuit full of pink bubbles and money, An Yixuan was also impressed by Chen Ronglian's romance and carefulness.
After a year and a half of Chen Ronglian's pursuit of An Yixuan, the two finally established a relationship at the end of 2014.
That is, after falling in love with An Yixuan, Chen Ronglian, a wealthy Macau businessman who has rarely heard of, was gradually known by many people.
But at that time, An Yixuan did not have a public relationship, and Chen Ronglian's identity was speculated by the entertainment paparazzi through clues.
Chen Ronglian and An Yixuan's underground romance lasted about two years.
During this period, except for a few celebrities who were good friends with An Yixuan, no one knew who An Yixuan was in love with.
It was not until 2017 that An Yixuan posted his wedding photos on social platforms that he officially announced the relationship between himself and Chen Ronglian.
With a huge century wedding, a two-meter-long cloud wedding dress, and half of the entertainment industry's artists gathered, An Yixuan entered the marriage in the huge wedding prepared for her by Chen Ronglian.

Chen Ronglian was also well known to the public because of An Yixuan's fame, and has frequently appeared in the public eye since then.
After marriage, An Yixuan opened a high-profile show of love mode.
In the two years of love, An Yixuan did not post a single photo of Chen Ronglian.
But after marriage, An Yixuan's social platform is full of selfies with her husband on various plays.

In the photo, Chen Ronglian is always a serious book, while An Yixuan is a lively and playful appearance, showing the happiness of married life.
Behind the sunshine happiness shows the luxurious life of two people.
The 10.57 carat diamond ring, four mansions, diamond necklaces worth 100 million yuan, and 5 million Hong Kong dollars of elk artwork are all gifts from Chen Ronglian to An Yixuan.
Chen Ronglian and An Yixuan's children
After marriage, An Yixuan risked the risk of an elderly mother to give birth to a son and a daughter for Chen Ronglian, and made up a "good" word, and An Yixuan gradually faded out of the entertainment circle and enjoyed the life of a rich and generous wife.
But all this beauty will be in vain in the Spring Festival of 2022.
Third, Macao's "little gambling king" is imprisoned
In November 2021, with the arrest of "rice washing", the Macau police cracked another case of illegal gambling, criminal syndicates and money laundering.
On January 29, 2022, two men were arrested, one of whom was Macau gaming giant Chan Wing-lien.
Chen Ronglian was arrested at the scene
Two days later, Macau police again said the case was the same as the rice washing case in November last year.
In August 2022, the first-instance trial of the case of Xi Mihua was held, and Chen Ronglian's case has not yet been updated.
However, it is speculated that if Chen Ronglian's charges are all confirmed, he may face more than 20 years in prison.
Chen Ronglian was arrested
After Chen Ronglian was arrested and imprisoned, An Yixuan also deleted the Ai Xiu in Weibo, setting weibo to be visible for half a year.
We don't make too much speculation and evaluation about the emotional progress after An Yixuan and Chen Ronglian, after all, "the skinny camel is bigger than the horse."
An Yixuan's family situation is not bad, not as miserable as the marketing number says, "husband goes to prison and his wife takes two babies alone".
Family
The entanglement of grudges between the giants is far more than we ordinary people imagine, and what choice An Yixuan will make in the future is not something you and I should worry about, and everyone does not have to over-interpret "An Yixuan's wife's dream is broken".
Such a social case was packaged as entertainment lace news because it involved stars, resulting in an obvious phenomenon of out-of-focus in the field of public opinion.
When everyone speculates and criticizes An Yixuan, it is advisable to focus more on the harm to society caused by illegal gambling and casino opening.
According to relevant reports, Chen Ronglian's suspected crimes this time are the same as washing rice.
In the court of first instance of the Rice Wash case on August 12, the criminal activities of the Rice Wash were mainly to open casinos and establish cross-border gambling criminal groups in China.
Among them, the number of domestic gamblers they have developed has reached more than 60,000, and the amount involved is particularly huge.
In this way, Chen Ronglian is also suspected of opening casinos in China to make illegal profits.
Illegal casino arrest scene
An Yixuan's tens of millions of gifts posted on social media and the frequency of receipts also secretly revealed that Chen Ronglian's assets were far greater than he should have.
The sudden emergence of the group of Washing Mihua and Chen Ronglian is undoubtedly reaching out to the inland and focusing its development on "online gambling".
As we all know, the reason why China's gaming industry can only develop in Macao is due to Macao's special industrial structure, and although the gaming industry is legalized, it is also subject to strict institutional constraints in Macao.
In order to expand the market and make more profits, these gambling tycoons have extended their hands to other cities other than Macau in China, which not only makes many people ruined, heavily indebted, and separated by their wives and children because of gambling, but also disrupts the social management order and market economic order within the mainland.
And these illegal business practices must be curbed.
The arrest of gaming tycoons such as Mi Hua and Chan Wing-lien may also involve more shady scenes about the gaming industry, but will the "six cards" pattern of Macau's gaming industry be changed by the arrest of two gambling kings? We look forward to follow-up progress.
