He is the grandfather of The "Stacked Horse Boy" in Macau, the head horse of the gambling king Ho Hung Sun, and even the apprentice of the gambling Saint Ye Han, and his mother is still the "helper of the beggar gang".
After returning from the beautiful country, he directly doubled the performance of the gambling hall by more than twenty times, and traversed the major casinos in Macau for forty years.
He is "Zhiduoxing" Zhou Jinhui.
Chow was born in Hong Kong in 1950 in Shunde, Guangdong. Her mother, Lam Fung Nga, is a wealthy lady from Macau who came to Hong Kong with her husband to develop real estate after marriage, and her business has done a lot. Why? Because their family lives in the Mid-Levels Villa on McDonald's Road, they are all the top rich people in Hong Kong, including Lee Shau Kee of Henderson Properties and the ancestral home of gambling king Ho Hung Sun in the early years.
That is to say, Zhou Jinhui was already more than many ordinary people when he was born, and the end point that others want to struggle for in their lives is only a starting line for him. For Zhou Jinhui to stand out in the future, I have to say that Zhou Jinhui's mother is known as "Sister E".
Although Zhou Jinhui's family has money, but lost her father at an early age, her mother Lin Feng'e not only brought six of their brothers and sisters, but also was entrusted by relatives with three other children, and it is not easy for a widow to bring up nine children alone, so Zhou Jinhui once jokingly called her mother a "beggar gang leader". You know, having a child now may require two adults to bring it with you.
Although there are nine children in the family playing and playing all year round, "Sister E" not only keeps the family in order, but also takes her husband's business to a higher level.
The "Fengming Building", which is now located in Causeway Bay, was developed by "Sister E" and Huo Yingdong Huo Lao in that year. Not only that, but in the 50s she already owned a Mercedes-Benz car and was the first Mercedes-Benz owner in Hong Kong. It is admirable that a widow can do this.
From here, it can be seen that "Sister E" is very skillful in dealing with the world, social and management, surpassing many male compatriots.
And "Sister E" is also very interested in her children's education, and her six children are enrolled in "Salesian" schools. It was an aristocratic school with many important members of business and politics. In this school, even if the books are not good, you can know many people with energy, to put it bluntly, it is to establish a circle from an early age, which is a great role for the future development of children in society.
The energy in the circle of friends of "Sister E" is very strong, such as Feng Jianni, the second room of Huo Yingdong, and Li Wanhua, the big room of He Hongshen, these are her good girlfriends. Including He Hongshen's third room Chen Wanzhen can become a gambling aunt from the nurse, which is also the shadow of "Sister E". (Interested can go to my previous article to see Ha.) ）
At the end of the 1960s, due to the changes on Hong Kong Island, Chow Kam Fai's family went to Macau to develop. Relying on the relationship between Fok Ying Tung and Li Wanhua, "Sister E" came to work under the gambling Saint Ye Han.
Chow Jinhui also worshiped Ye Han as a teacher, and in the 70s, because he could not stay in Macau, he went to study in a beautiful country, and debuted with Ye Han in the Las Vegas casino in the United States at the age of 20.
Speaking of "gambling", Ye Han is very powerful, he began to mix in the major casinos in Macau in his 10s, working as a dealer under the hands of the old gambling king Fu Laorong, and the dice kung fu on hand is really powerful, and even more powerful is the "art of knowing people".
Zhou Jinhui learned the "art of knowing people" in Ye Han and also laid the foundation for him to become the ancestor of "Stacked Horse Boy" in the future. Just like people wearing white vests, shorts, slippers, rustic, but have dozens of houses to collect rent, there are luxury sports cars to drive; and there are people dressed very decently in front of people, dressed like a rich man,Behind the scenes may even have to buy a bubble noodle to calculate the account.
Like this deceptive surface, Zhou Jinhui can directly see the true face of the other party at a glance with superhuman's sixth sense.
In the past few years when Zhou Jinhui studied in the beautiful country, his mother "Sister E" also developed well in Macao. At first, "Sister E" did things under Ye Han, and later Ye Han and He Hongshen did not deal with each other, although for the gambling hall He Hongshen could only be regarded as a layman, but in the end, He Hongshen's skills were superior to kick Ye Han out, and "Sister E" also saw the situation at this time to "overzeale" to do things under He Hongshen.
When Ye Han led the Treasure Island gang to establish a jockey club to confront Ho Hongshen, Ho Hongshen came to a "mantis cicada catching yellow bird behind", which caused the Treasure Island gang to lose, and the two families have since formed a bond. The Treasure Island gang began to retaliate on Ho's territory, and the bombings continued one after another, which greatly affected the business. In order to repay "Sister E", He Hongshen handed over his hotel, restaurant and gambling hall to "Sister E" to take care of.
When his mother gained a firm foothold in Macau, Chow also returned to Macau from the beautiful country to help. Just returned to Macau and found that the local gaming industry still has a lot of room for development, and then discussed his experience in Las Vegas with Ho Hung-sun. This discussion made He Hongshen look at him with surprise, and he immediately handed over the gambling hall at hand to Zhou Jinhui to take care of, of course, this move also has the element of "looking at sister E's face".
And Zhou Jinhui did not disappoint He Hongshen and his mother, under his management, the gambling hall rose 20 times from the original monthly income of 200 million yuan to a monthly income of 4 billion.
How did he do it? Originally, most of the customers in macau's gambling hall at first came from the local area and the surrounding area, and Chow Jinhui broke this limitation.
He flew to Southeast Asia and South America, and fully used his connections to bring customers to Macau, and these people came to Macau from other places to visit, and they will certainly make a contribution to Macau's major industries. Later, Zhou Jinhui also became a cruise ship company, specializing in transporting Southeast Asian customers to "sightseeing tourism", which also greatly promoted the business of gambling halls.
This is like a commissary, at most radiating users within a radius of one or two kilometers, no one will go too far to buy. But the rise of e-commerce and express delivery can directly make the commissary sell things all over the country, in fact, the same reason.
Watching the performance of the gambling hall soar, it also means that Zhou Jinhui's idea is right, and He Hongshen's pilot with this gambling hall is successful. This is also the origin of the mention of Chow Kam Fai at the beginning as the grandfather of the "Macau Stacked Horse Boy". And Zhou Jinhui also remembered another dogma of master Ye Han, that is, "do not gamble to win."
Subsequently, "Sister E" proposed the "stacked horse system" and the "mud code system". The "stacked horse system" is that the intermediary pulls customers to play in the gambling hall, which will not be repeated; the "mud code system" is actually created for the VIP hall. Macau's earliest chips were universal, called "cash codes", which were used in various casinos. The "mud code" is actually produced by the VIP hall itself, which can only be used in the VIP hall, just like the voucher given by the mall.
In 1988, Stanley Ho accepted sister's proposal to reform Macau's casinos. At this time, Zhou Jinhui had become the three head horses of the gambling king with Su Shuhui and "Fei Zai Qiang" Li Zhiqiang, and because of his shrewdness, the Jianghu people called him "Zhi Duo Xing" and "Bridge King" (both nicknames refer to resourceful people).
At that time, the reform of the casino, the Macau gangsters came to the wind, because the nature of the gangster business was quite in line with the "stacked horse boy". Of course, because of the interests, the gangs kill each other, among which "Street Market Wei", "Broken Tooth Colt", "Mo DingPing", "Shui Fang Lai" and others are the most typical.
And the gambling hall managed by Zhou Jinhui, if someone comes to make a second time, as long as Zhou Jinhui comes forward, the other party will retreat. It can be seen that Zhou Jinhui has quite a position in the jianghu.
At the end of the 90s, after a long time under The hands of He Hongshen, and also proved his ability, Zhou Jinhui went further and went out to start his own business.
He entered the real estate industry with "Fei Zai Qiang" and his mother "Sister E", built the Macau Landmark Plaza in 1997, and opened the Legendal VIP Lounge in 1999, and later invested in Hengqin with land. Zhou Jinhui's resourcefulness, coupled with the wide circle of "Fei Zai Qiang", his mother "Sister E" is even more old, and he has earned a lot of money for a while.
In 2002, Chow Kam Fai pulled Ho Into The Landmark Company and directly made Ho a major shareholder accounting for 53 percent, repaying the favor and giving enough face to the gambling king. Then again, after all, it was in Macau, and the gambling king at that time was like a big Buddha, and he had to give the face to make money.
In 2005, Chow Kam Fai and Gamblers co-invested Fisherman's Wharf opened for soft operation with a total investment of 1.85 billion yuan, which directly promoted the development of Macao's tourism industry. It is said that after the opening of the business, the crowds are crowded and the water is not clear.
In 2007, Chow invested 2.2 billion yuan in dido to build a five-star Legendale Hotel, which was handed over to the Olympic Committee for free use during the Olympic Games the following year.
At the time of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Chow Kam-fai and Ho Hung-sun also initiated the "Sichuan-Macao One Heart" committee, donating more than 60 million yuan to the disaster area.
In 2012, Chow began his capital journey. Legendale, which owns Landmark Plaza and Fisherman's Wharf, owns Landmark Plaza and Fisherman's Wharf, and acquired a stake in Landmark Plaza in Ho's hands at a high price before the listing, leaving 18% to Ho's third aunt, Mrs. Chen Wanzhen.
This directly allowed He Hongshen to earn more than a billion yuan and form an alliance relationship with the three houses, while Zhou Jinhui and his mother "Sister E" became the largest shareholders. For a while, everyone had money to earn, and everyone was happy.
In addition, an environmental protection company was invested in Anhui, and a Legendale Pangdu Plaza was opened in Zhuhai, which is said to cost more than one billion yuan. Among them, Legendale Hotel and Fisherman's Wharf are blooming everywhere in China.
He also acquired casinos in Laos, and there were rumors that he would invest in many small countries in Cape Verde, Africa, and locals called him "The Rich Man of Africa".
Of course, Zhou Jinhui also had people who did not deal with it. In 2018, Wynn's boss resigned due to a decades-long scandal, when Zhou Jinhui "fell into the well" to demand that the matter could not be tolerated, and even demanded that Wynn's gambling card be withdrawn.
It turned out that as early as 2002, the only gambling card that was originally in Ho's hand was recycled, and then the gambling card was divided into three, and the other two companies that entered the game at that time were "Yongli" and "Jinsha" from foreign capital.
For these two foreign competitors, Chow Kam-fai, a Macau native, is disgusted, and he has tried to block "Wynn" and "Sands", after all, with the addition of these two companies, the original good pattern is bound to change.
Wynn's boss, known as the "Father of Las Vegas", and Zhou Jinhui is an old acquaintance, and he used a very "dirty" means as soon as he shot it, claiming that Zhou Jinhui once owed him millions of dollars in Gambling in Las Vegas. Zhou Jinhui did not pay attention to him, the clean person cleaned himself, and did not say true or false, even if it was true, this little money Zhou Jinhui did not look in the eyes. Subsequently, the boss of Yongli saw that Zhou Jinhui did not respond, and increased his efforts and went directly to the court to file a complaint.
The boss of Jinsha is more direct, when the Fisherman's Wharf was under construction, he took people there to cause trouble, and he was a gangster, and then he created public opinion to pick the bones in the eggs of the Fisherman's Wharf, and finally this matter was suppressed by the "He Dafo" and the high-level.
Perhaps because of the slump in the gambling market, or perhaps because of his advanced age and retirement, Chow Kam Fai sold Landmark in 2017 in exchange for 4.6 billion in cash; in September 2020, he reduced his Reed Jung shares from nearly 30 percent to less than 10 percent, and more than 20 percent of the shares were sold to An Yixuan's husband Chen Ronglian, and Chow Kam Fai again received HK$1.344 billion in cash.
Chen Ronglian is a native of Jinjiang, Fujian Province, and is considered a new upstart in Macao in recent years, backed by Lui Chee-ho of galaxy, and his strength is no less than that of washed rice.
Today, Zhou Jinhui, like his mother "Sister E", is committed to charity in his later years and said that he will continue to develop in the direction of environmental protection with his son.
Looking back on Zhou Jinhui's past, in addition to only losing his father, it can be said that it was smooth sailing, including his mother "Sister E". In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a person's treatment of the world, and a shrewd mind, and everything is done for the purpose of "win-win".
