Li Ka-shing's eldest granddaughter entered the game in a low-key manner, the female heirs of those Hong Kong giants

In the past month, there has been a lot of news about the Li family in Hong Kong.

The Lee family? Which Li family in Hong Kong is, of course, the Li Jiacheng family.

First of all, the news of the Li family's seven-fold discount sale of the building was hyped up by the Hong Kong media.

▲On August 3, Cheung Kong Industrial (Li Ka-shing's real estate flagship) announced the first price list of the new real estate project "Qin Hai Station II", in which the cheapest open plan unit has a usable area of 210 square feet (about 19.5 square meters), after deducting an 18% discount, the discounted price is HK$2.9 million, and the discounted price is HK$13,810 (about HK$148,700 / square meter). It is worth noting that this price is 30% cheaper than the surrounding second-hand houses, and even returns to the level of 7 years ago.

Li Luoshi, the prospective daughter-in-law of the Li family, reported the news of reuniting with Li's second son (we wrote before, it can be recalled here), and coincidentally, she PO two days ago PO photos of her and her son attending a wedding banquet, and then people have a more intuitive consciousness, it turns out that Li Changzhi, the eldest son of the third generation of the Li family's little superman, is also fourteen years old and looks almost as tall as his mother.

In fact, many people do not realize that this is a delicate moment, which means that the third generation of the Li family is about to enter the game.

You know, just last month, the head of the Li Ka-shing family business and the group released a mediocre commercial acquisition release, but the sharp-eyed Hong Kong media saw a familiar and unfamiliar name in it: Li Side, manager of the business development department.

It is familiar because this 27-year-old girl is Li Ka-shing's eldest granddaughter, the first third-generation member to officially appear in the family business.

It is strange because for more than two decades, for privacy and security considerations, the Li family hid her tightly, and once even her real name and appearance were difficult to pry.

▲ Li Ka-shing and granddaughter Li Side (girl wearing sunglasses and mask).

Li Side was born in 1996 and is the eldest daughter of Li Zeju, Li Ka-shing's eldest son, formerly known as Li Yanning.

The reason why she changed her name also stemmed from a thrilling past of her father Li Zeju.

▲ Li Ka-shing and eldest son Li Zeju.

Shortly after Li Yanning was born, when Li Zeju attended the cocktail party of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, he explained the meaning of his daughter's name "Yanning" to business friends and reporters:

Yan is humble, lucky and auspicious, while Ning is reassuring and comforting, and I hope my daughter will be as humble, happy and peaceful as her name suggests.

Being a father for the first time is full of expectations for his daughter's future. A few months later, Li Zeju himself encountered the most critical frightening moment in his life.

On May 23, 1996, Hong Kong bandit Zhang Ziqiang and his accomplices kidnapped Li Zeju with a gun threat.

▲ Zhang Ziqiang.

Then Zhang Ziqiang personally went to the Li family's mansion to negotiate with Li Ka-shing, first taking 38 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, and later Li Ka-shing gave him another 1 billion, a total of 1.038 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Li Ka-shing did not call the police, but also gave money quickly, and Zhang Ziqiang also released Li Zeju according to the agreement.

Li Ka-shing even persuaded Zhang Ziqiang to wash his hands in the golden basin, anyway, he got so much money, and he had enough to spend in several lifetimes.

But Zhang Ziqiang and Li Ka-shing are obviously two people, he just gambled after getting a huge amount of money, and after losing everything, he called Li Ka-shing for help to ask about investment methods.

Li Ka-shing's first reaction after receiving Zhang Ziqiang's call was: What the hell are you doing, why do you still have my phone? Then tell him: I can only teach you to be a good person, but what you want me to do, I will not do. You only have one big road, go far and fly, otherwise, your end will be very sad.

But Zhang Ziqiang's idea is still simple and rude: if there is no money, then kidnap the rich again.

A year later, his target was Kwok Bingxiang, then Hong Kong's second richest man, and he won again with 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

In 1998, Zhang Ziqiang was arrested by mainland police for illegally buying huge quantities of explosives and executed at the end of the same year.

▲ Zhang Ziqiang, who was tried in the mainland.

▲ The Supreme People's Court Gazette contains a detailed record of Zhang Ziqiang's case.

After this thrilling and tortuous kidnapping of his eldest son, Li Ka-shing reflected afterwards that the security measures were not in place: we are so well-known in Hong Kong, but we are not guarded at all, for example, I go to play ball, drive to the New Territories at five o'clock in the morning, on the road, a few cars can surround me, and I am not guarded at all, I have to carefully review.

The first result of Li Ka-shing's "review" is to comprehensively upgrade the security system of homes, companies and vehicles.

Hong Kong Police Commissioner Lee Kwan-ha was hired to set up a security team, for which Li Ka-shing did not hesitate to spend HK$1 billion a year.

A mansion in Mid-Levels in Hong Kong is equipped with motion recognition, infrared recognition systems, and even military-grade radar surveillance.

▲ Li Ka-shing's mansion was described by Hong Kong media as like a "fortress". There is also a safe room in the mansion, and once the mansion is broken into by outsiders, the whole family can hide in this safe room and wait for rescue. There is oxygen supply in the safe room, once it is locked, it can only be opened from the inside, and there is also a thermal insulation and flame retardant system, even if a fire occurs, it can ensure the safety of the personnel in the safe room for a long time. The entire mansion has been built with a wall more than three meters high, and it is located in a high position, which can be easily detected by security personnel if outsiders invade.

There is Li Ka-shing's private elevator inside the company, which leads from the garage to the office. The vehicle is equipped with top-quality bulletproof glass.

Li Ka-shing alone is accompanied by more than 20 personal bodyguards, including retired officers of the Hong Kong Flying Tigers and former members of the Force Protection Essentials Unit.

Another security measure is to strictly protect the personal information of the third generation members of the Li family to prevent it from being targeted again by criminals.

As a result, Li Ka-shing's eldest granddaughter Li Yanning later quietly changed her name, and for a long time, even the pervasive Hong Kong media failed to find out what her new name was.

▲ Even if he was photographed by the media, Li Side was fully armed outside and resolutely did not disclose his true appearance.

After Li Yanning changed her name to Li Side, she later studied at Hong Kong Hankey International School, which uses the English name Michelle, and she even served as the editor Chinese the school magazine, and her photos were also published in the school magazine, but no one knew that the girl named Li Michelle was the granddaughter of the famous Li Ka-shing.

▲ Li Side's photo in the school magazine.

▲ Hong Kong media also picked up an article written by Li Side in the student magazine of Hanji School. 

According to later netizens who broke the news, his colleague is Li Side's classmate at Hanji International School, saying that Li Side is very low-key, has never disclosed his background, and the degree of food and clothing cannot be seen to be from a rich and noble family, although the results are not top-notch, but they are not bad. Gentle personality, thoughtful and independent.

In 2017, Li Stud returned to Hong Kong after graduating from the Dickson Pan School of Law at King's College London, England, and Li Ka-shing brought his eldest granddaughter to public for the first time.

▲ In October 2017, Li Ka-shing attended the racecourse event and brought his granddaughter Li Side to the public for the first time.

The following year, under the arrangement of Li Ka-shing, Li Side was appointed as a director of Tsz Shan Temple, and at the end of the same year, he also served as a director of Mega Properties, a private real estate company of the Lee family.

▲ Tsz Shan Temple was built by the Li Ka Shing Foundation with a donation of HK$1.7 billion, and the landmark is this giant statue of Guanyin. In addition to Li Side, Li Zekai, Li Ka-shing's second son, is also one of the directors of Tsz Shan Temple.

Now, a few years later, 27-year-old Li Side has officially joined the most important family business Changhe Group, serving as the manager of the development department, responsible for acquisition projects, which shows her grandfather Li Ka-shing's cultivation and hope for her.

Li Side is not the only third-generation female member of the Hong Kong wealthy family to succeed her, and long before her, two other third-generation female members of the wealthy family have appeared on the succession stage.

Not long ago, the Hong Kong Women's United Association hosted the "Women's Building New Power Forum", inviting a number of female business representatives to speak, including the "milk tea sisters" Zhang Zetian and He Chaoqiong, who we are very familiar with.

▲ He Chaoqiong and Zhang Zetian.

People naturally lack interest in Zhang Zetian's "spirit of women", and the topic of hot search is that the host asked when Zhang Zetian claimed to be very shy, missed a lot of opportunities and regretted: Then will you regret rejecting Zhang Yimou's play (referring to "Hawthorn Tree Love"), Zhang Zetian replied with a smile: This is a different life, a different life choice.

In the group photo of this forum, Zhang Zetian stood in position C, and standing next to her were Qiu Yongyun, a third-generation member of the Qiu family, and Zheng Zhiwen, a third-generation member of the Zheng family.

▲ The third blue dress on the right is Qiu Yongjun, and the second green dress on the right is Zheng Zhiwen.

Coincidentally, Yau Wing-yun and Cheng Chi-man are the same age (both born in 1980) and both are responsible for the hotel business in their respective families.

Let's start with Zheng Zhiwen.

Her grandfather is the famous Hong Kong tycoon Cheng Yutong, and her father is Cheng Ka-shun, the eldest son of Cheng Yutong.

Zheng Yutong was born in Shunde, Guangdong in 1925, only read elementary school, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he ran to his father's friend and fellow villager, Zhou Zhiyuan, who ran the gold shop (that is, Chow Tai Fook Gold Shop) in Macau to work as a buddy, Zhou Zhiyuan is also Zheng Yutong's future father-in-law, he and Zheng Yutong's father married their children.

▲ Zheng Yutong and his wife Zhou Cuiying.

In 1943, 18-year-old Zheng Yutong officially took over Chow Tai Fook Gold Shop and also married Zhou Cuiying, Zhou Zhiyuan's daughter. Later, the gold shop business moved to Hong Kong, and in 1956, the concept of "9999 full gold" was first created, that is, the gold content reached 99.99%, seizing the gold market share. In the same year, his father-in-law Zhou Zhiyuan retired, and Zheng Yutong officially inherited Chow Tai Fook.

▲ Chow Tai Fook Gold Shop in the early years and later ribbon-cutting ceremony at the shop in Central.

Subsequently, Cheng Yutong took advantage of the victory and got involved in the diamond business, and the combination of diamonds and gold created the foundation of Chow Tai Fook's jewelry empire.

In 1970, together with Hang Seng Bank's founder Ho Sin Heng and Sun Hung Kai Properties founder Kwok De Sang, New World Development Company Limited was founded, with Cheng Yu Tung accounting for the largest 57% stake and serving as New World Managing Director.

In the later period, Zheng Yutong was involved in communications, hotels, transportation, etc., and eventually became a wealthy family in the city.

Although he has successfully built his own business empire, Zheng Yutong bluntly said that he is not as diligent as his friend Li Ka-shing.

"He goes to work after 8 a.m., I'm 11, it's a long way off. We both like to play golf, but I don't really like playing with him right now because he starts at 6 a.m. and I haven't gotten up yet. I go to work now, in the office, and I basically don't have to do anything, just people there. He was running around the world all day. ”

▲ Zheng Yutong (right) and Li Ka-shing (left).

Zheng Yutong's chosen successor is his eldest son, Zheng Jiachun.

▲ Zheng Yutong and his eldest son Zheng Jiachun.

Cheng Ka-shun and his wife Ye Meiqing have four children: the eldest son Zheng Zhigang, the eldest daughter Zheng Zhiwen and the two younger sons Zheng Zhiming and Zheng Zhiliang.

▲ Zheng Jiachun and his wife Ye Meiqing.

But when people reach middle age, they have long been married and weak, and it is rumored that Zheng Jiachun has a "confidante" outside: "Da Liu" Liu Luanxiong's ex-girlfriend Wang Yingyu.

Wong Yingyu is a practising lawyer and her father Wong Jianqiu is a Justice of the High Court of Hong Kong. In 1996, Wang Yingyu joined Liu Luanxiong's ACN Group, from Da Liu's personal assistant to the general manager of the group, and her private identity has long become Da Liu's girlfriend, but after Lv Lijun became Liu Luanxiong's new girlfriend, Wang Yingyu also left ACN Group in 2001 and joined Qinghong Law Firm.

▲ Liu Luanxiong and Wang Yingyu. The complicated past of Da Liu and his blue-blooded girlfriend Wang Yingyu can be reviewed here.

▲ At that time, Da Liu also wrote a very obsessive love letter to Wang Yingyu, lost weight for her, and took the initiative to apologize to her and show her love.

In fact, as early as when ACN was working, Wang Yingyu, who accompanied Da Liu, met Zheng Jiachun, who was 24 years older than herself. Later, he transferred to Qinghong Law Firm and was entrusted by Cheng Kar-Shun's New World Group to litigate in court.

In 2004, Wang Yingyu simply set up her own portal and opened a law firm in New World Building to take on New World Group cases. And her extramarital affair with Zheng Jiachun has also become more and more widespread.

▲ Wang Yingyu and Zheng Jiachun were photographed in the mall.

It was not until 2009 that the media finally claimed to have taken photos of Cheng Ka-chun, Wang Yingyu and their illegitimate son, and this rumor was also confirmed to be true.

▲ The eldest son of the two is named Wang Zehong, according to the weekly magazine, Zheng Yutong also knows the existence of this little grandson, because Wang Yingyu is very well-behaved and does not make trouble, so Zheng Yutong also acquiesced to his son's extramarital affair.

▲ We found a photo of the page cut of a second-hand magazine sold by a Hong Kong seller on the Internet, which was a report about the two having a scandal and having a child.

▲ In 2016, Wang Yingyu also sued the magazine for violating her portrait privacy and asked her to remove the photos she had taken.

According to insiders revealed to the media, for the relationship between the two, Zheng Jiachun hopes to keep a low profile, Wang Yingyu is very cooperative, and his son is also surnamed Wang with the woman. Zheng Jiachun goes to accompany Wang Yingyu every festival, and also spends the night together on Valentine's Day.

In 2016, Zheng Yutong died, and the newspaper obituary listed the names of family members, among which the grandchildren appeared "Zehong" and "Zeran" two strange names, also different from other people's "Zhi" characters, these two boys are suspected to be Wang Yingyu's illegitimate sons for Zheng Jiachun.

In the face of her husband's scandal, Ye Meiqing, wife of Zheng Jiachun, did not react much.

There are many types of Hong Kong, one type is particularly open, just live their own life, Ye Meiqing loves to dance, loves to socialize, play mahjong, rarely at home, and her husband has long been "respectful as ice", as long as it does not affect the overall situation, rumors she will ignore it.

What's more, she herself was photographed having an affair with dance instructor Wang Yonggang in the UK in 2002, and presumably the couple had already acquiesced to this more relaxed open relationship.

In the third generation of the Cheng family, Cheng Kar-Chun's eldest son, Cheng Chi Gang, and eldest daughter, Cheng Chi Man, who is responsible for the family's hotel business and currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Rosewood Hotel Group.

▲ Zheng Jiachun and his eldest son Zheng Zhigang (left).

The eldest Cheng Chi Kong is currently the founder of K11, the executive director of Chow Tai Fook Group and the chief executive officer of New World Development Company Limited. It is worth mentioning that he is one of the few successors of Hong Kong's wealthy families who has opened an account on Douyin and is quite active, usually posting food, putting some daily life, engaging in Chow Tai Fook lottery, and millions of likes in the comment area.

Cheng studied at St. Paul's Co-educational High School in Hong Kong, went to boarding school in Connecticut at the age of 14, and later studied applied mathematics at Harvard University.

After graduating from university, Cheng worked for Warburg Pincus and Morgan Stanley in the United States, and in 2008, she returned to work for the family business, New World Group, where she was responsible for the hotel business.

▲ Zheng Jiachun and eldest daughter Zheng Zhiwen.

In 2011, Cheng led the Group's acquisition of Rosewood Hotels and Resorts, and has been traveling around the world for more than a decade, responsible for a variety of matters.

▲ Visit the Rosewood Hotel in Thailand and express condolences to the local staff.

▲ Zheng Zhiwen (middle) and former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's daughter Bei Dong Dan (far right), Bei Dong Dan ran for the new Thai prime minister some time ago, but lost the election.

▲ Cheng inspects business at Rosewood hotels around the world.

Zheng Zhiwen is really quite low-key, does not like to bombard, and rarely socializes with celebrities, and most of the daily life displayed on social platforms is to visit Rosewood hotels around the world, which may be a kind of consciousness as a wealthy female successor.

▲ But as long as you participate in the celebrity party, Zheng Zhiwen is almost in the C position, for example, in the previous bureau for the fourth anniversary celebration group of the opening of the Rosewood Hotel, the participants included Li Jiaxin, Guo Jingjing and the tens of billions of Feng Yongyi of the Fung Group.

In terms of personal life, Cheng Zhiwen married Pang Jianyi, the grandson of Hong Kong's "steel king" Pang Dingyuan, in 2012.

There were many guests at the wedding.

▲ Zhu Lingling brought her father and two sons Huo Qigang and Huo Qishan to congratulate them.

After marriage, Zheng Zhiwen rarely shared her children's daily life, and it was not until she organized a gathering of friends in May this year that the public knew that she had given birth to her fifth child!

▲ In recent years, Zheng Zhiwen has only sunbathed her children very few times, and she has not shown her face.

Born in a wealthy family, Zheng Zhiwen also pays great attention to the safety and privacy of her children, and has only exposed her two children on social platforms. But in a 2021 interview, she said she liked children so much that she gave birth to four, and at the end of May this year, she announced at a party that she had given birth to her fifth child.

At Zheng Zhiwen's five-child baby party, Lin Qingxia's stepdaughter Xing Jiaqian, Qiu Yongyun and Qiu Yongxian sisters of the Qiu family were all present.

▲ The third black clothes on the left is Xing Jiaqian.

▲ The third from the right in the back row is Qiu Yongyun, and the first from the right in the back row is Qiu Yongxian.

Only...... It is indeed shocking, although it is common for wealthy families to have more children, but hundreds of billions of women gave birth to five children in one go, and this number is enough...

▲ Zheng Zhiwen and her husband Pang Jianyi.

Just mentioned that among the people who participated in the gathering of Zheng Zhiwen's friends of the fifth child, there are Yau Yongyun and Yau Yongxian, and the story of Yau Yongyun, the third-generation female successor of the Qiu family, is told below.

The Qiu family has to start with Qiu Yongyun's grandfather, Qiu Degen.

Born in 1924 to a poor merchant in Shanghai, Qiu Degen dropped out of junior high school for a few months to work as a chore at the Daguang Cinema. A few years later, he married his neighbor Qiu Jinqiu.

▲ Qiu Degen when he was young.

▲ Wedding photo of Qiu Degen and his wife Qiu Jinqiu.

In 1950, at the age of 26, Yau Degen took his pregnant wife to Hong Kong to survive, and with his experience in running a small theater in Shanghai, the couple barely established themselves in Hong Kong and bought a small theater in the New Territories: Tsuen Wan Theatre.

▲ Tsuen Wan Cinema of that year.

But aware of the pressure of competition in the urban area, Qiu Degen turned his attention to the countryside, and sure enough, in a few years, the Qiu couple operated 14 movie theaters in the countryside, and the funds on hand became more and more abundant. By 1960, Khoo had become the "cinema king" of the New Territories.

After becoming familiar with the countryside and having a certain amount of money on hand, Qiu Degen found another business opportunity, that is, he found that it was not easy for rural residents to save and borrow money, because bankers at that time only focused on the rich and middle class in the city, and the vast market in the countryside was neglected. As a result, Qiu Degen founded Far Eastern Money Village, specializing in rural deposit and lending business, and later Far East Money Village developed and became Far Eastern Bank.

At the same time, Qiu Degen also laid out real estate and financial businesses, and also bought the "Lai Yuen Amusement Park" in Kowloon.

▲ Lai Yuen was first completed and opened in 1949 and was the largest amusement park in Hong Kong at that time. Ma Ying-jeou's mother, Qin Houxiu, used to work as a conductor here.

▲ In the 50s, "Seven Xiaofu" also performed in Liyuan, including Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, who were still young at that time.

▲ A few years after Qiu Degen bought the Liyuan Amusement Park, Anita Mui and her sister began to perform in Liyuan in 1967.

▲ Liyuan at that time was definitely a hot and trendy playground.

▲ Qiu Degen and his wife Qiu Jinlan in Liyuan.

In the late 70s and 80s, Qiu Degen built a large-scale cultural amusement city "Song Cheng" in Liyuan, and at the same time invested in hotels to integrate the entertainment industry and hotel business.

▲ About equal to the current film and television city...? The building, the clothes worn by the people inside, are all in the style of the Song Dynasty.

In 1982, Qiu Degen bought a 50% stake in the then loss-making Li TV Station, renamed it "Asia TV", and served as chairman of the board. He invited Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming to serve as director and program manager respectively, responsible for the specific production business of ATV.

The two also lived up to expectations, and successively produced a series of films "Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen" and "Wu Zetian", with excellent word of mouth response.

▲ "Huo Yuanjia" stills, starring Michelle . Image source watermark.

▲ "Chen Zhen" stills, starring Zhou Yunfa's ex-wife Yu An'an.

▲ The crew of "Wu Zetian" worships God and prays for blessings.

With good works, ratings soared, and by 1985, ATV turned a profit, of course, some people say that it is because Qiu Degen is very good at controlling costs, to put it bluntly, it is thrifty to the door, such as costume dramas, no matter what dynasty, the costumes are the same; ATV employees can only use two compartments of toilet paper to go to the toilet; The employee's New Year gift is a low-cost voucher from Qiu Degen Far Eastern Bank, and so on.

In short, during Qiu Degen's tenure, ATV has indeed become the biggest threat to TVB.

Speaking of Qiu Degen's personal life, he married his wife Qiu Jinqiu in his early years, and had five children, four sons and one daughter, namely Qiu Dasheng, Qiu Dachang, Qiu Meiqi, Qiu Daqi and Qiu Daqiang.

▲ Qiu Degen in the early years, his wife Qiu Jinqiu and children.

In 1964, a tragedy ended Qiu Jinqiu's life.

That year, Qiu Degen met a rich man named Lu Yuntao and prepared to develop his film career together, and as a result, Lu Yuntao and Qiu Jinqiu were flying to Taiwan together, and the plane crashed, and both were killed.

Very dramatically, Qiu Degen later married Qiu Jinqiu's own sister Qiu Jinlan, that is, his sister-in-law, and had three children with her: Qiu Dawei, Qiu Dawen and Qiu Dagen.

▲ Qiu Jinlan and her biological three sons.

The children born to Qiu Degen's two wives, although their mothers are sisters, are even more embarrassing, so they are estranged.

The five children born to Qiu Degen and the original partner Qiu Jinqiu are also much older than Qiu Jinlan's three children, and some of them are even a generation apart, so there is nothing to talk about on weekdays.

▲ Family portrait. According to insiders, the children in the two rooms accompany their father Qiu Degen to eat separately every week.

But occupying the age advantage, the market value of the company's business in charge of the children of Dafang is as high as four or five billion, and the market value of the business in charge of the three sons of the second house is only about 600 million, and the disparity in strength can be seen.

Because Qiu Degen's eldest son Qiu Da Sheng lives in the United States all year round, the second generation successor of the Qiu family is Qiu Dechang's second son Qiu Dachang.

When Qiu Dachang was a child, his father Qiu Degen was building Liyuan, so from middle school, Qiu Dachang went to Liyuan to work as soon as he arrived in the summer. In 1970, at the age of 16, Qiu Tat Cheong was appointed by his father to go to Indonesia to supervise the playground project, and he began to show his management talent.

After graduating from Sophia University in Japan, Yau Tat Cheong ventured into the Hong Kong securities industry.

▲ Qiu Dachang (front row man) who studied at Sophia University in Japan in the 70s.

At the age of 36, he and his wife Goh Huiping moved to Malaysia to develop a real estate business, and within ten years, the company he founded Malaysia Land became one of the four largest real estate developers in the region. For every 100 condominiums sold in Malaysia, 27 are run by Khoo Tat Cheong's company.

As the eldest daughter of Yau Tat Cheong, Yau Wing-yun has also become the third generation successor of the Yau family, focusing on the hotel business and currently serving as the president of Dorsett Hotels & Resorts.

▲ Qiu Yongjun and his parents.

Yau Wing-yun and her two younger sisters, Yau Yongxian and Yau Yongqi, are also known as the "Three Qiu Sisters".

Let's start with Yau Yongyun.

Since she was a child, she followed her grandfather Qiu Degen to Liyuan Amusement Park every week to inspect the business, and later went to King's College London to study business management.

After graduating, he briefly worked in international investment banking for a while, and in 2002, he joined his father Khoo Tat Cheong's Malaysia Land Company, where he was responsible for the Kuala Lumpur property.

▲ Qiu Yongyun when he was young.

In 2010, Khoo Tat Cheong spun off the group's hotel business and changed its name to Dorsett Hotels Group.

At the age of 30, Yau Wing-yun was appointed to become the helm of Dorsett Group.

As early as the summer vacation of middle school, Yau Yongyun went to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Hong Kong as an intern, rotating in sales, housekeeping and front desk, and more than ten years later, she still feels that hotel business is her greatest interest in her career.

As a big boss, Yau Yongyun also strives to be close to the people in his style, and personally goes to Dorsett hotels in Hong Kong to pray for the New Year with employees for the New Year.

Every year, I also take my colleagues to team building.

Dorsett Hotels is also developing in the mainland, and Qiu Yongjun also posted photos of Dorsett Wuhan receiving medical rescue teams from Yunnan during the epidemic.

She is also the successor of the family and a wealthy lady, and Qiu Yongjun, known as the "hotel princess", will often attend celebrities' social occasions.

In terms of personal life, Yau Wing-yun dated Tsang Qingchun, the son of former Hong Kong chief executive Donald Tsang, in 2008, and the two are said to have discussed marriage for a time, but broke up in 2012.

▲ Qiu Yongjun and ex-boyfriend Zeng Qingchun.

It is also reported that Qiu Yongjun has dated Zhuang Jiabin, the prince of the Zhuang Group, but did not find a photo of the two.

▲ Chuang Jiabin once talked about a nine-year relationship with actress Fu Mingxian, and we wrote before that he married a mainland girlfriend after breaking up.

Yau Yongyun is still unmarried, but has two children with Chinese-Dutch racing driver Dong Hebin.

Dong Hebin was born in the Netherlands in 1982, and his grandparents were among the first Wenzhou immigrants to go to the Netherlands. My parents opened a Chinese restaurant to make a living.

Dong Hebin has been interested in racing since he was a child, and has repeatedly achieved good results in junior competitions. But racing is an expensive sport, and Dong Hebin's outstanding results have allowed the team and club to relieve a lot of fees.

At the age of 20, Dong Hebin was admitted to university, studying law and economics at the same time, but only for one year, he chose to take a temporary break from school to pursue a racing career.

▲ Dong Hebin when he was young, a handsome guy.

He first won the overall Formula BMW Asia Championship and then became the first Chinese driver to successfully test an F1 car. He is currently part of the Yaolai Jackie Chan DC Team.

▲ Dong Hebin and Jackie Chan.

Because of his handsome appearance, Dong Hebin was also called "Lin Zhiying in the racing industry" by the Hong Kong media.

▲ Dong Hebin also took a group photo with Lin Zhiying, who loves motorsports.

Yau Yongyun and Dong Hebin's relationship is quite low-key, they got engaged in March 2018, and in May of the same year, Ho Chaoqiong and Li & Fung Group celebrity Fung Yongyi held a baby shower party for the pregnant Yau Yongyun, revealing that the baby's gender was a girl.

▲ Later, Qiu Yongjun gave birth to a son and became a family of four.

Let's talk about Qiu Yongyun's second sister Qiu Yongxian.

▲ Qiu Yongxian and grandfather Qiu Degen.

She graduated in design from the University of California and currently works in the family business as senior vice president of global projects at Dorsett Group, but she is clearly more of a wealthy lady.

In 2010, at the age of 26, Qiu Yongxian married Xu Qingchi, vice president of Hengan Group.

Yau Yongxian's wedding scene was also crowded with guests.

After marriage, Qiu Yongxian has four children, and it is almost impossible to see that she is working from social platforms, and her main work every day is to teach her husband and children and organize social parties, and she also enjoys it.

Qiu Yongxian sometimes accompanies her parents to participate in some business activities.

Sometimes she also makes the news because she spends a lot of money on luxury houses, such as spending 170 million Hong Kong dollars on a mansion in Kowloon Tong in 2020, and spending 125 million Hong Kong dollars the following year to buy the Jian Yue Full Hotel on Po Chiri Street, Hung Hom.

Yau Yongxian's third sister is named Yau Yongqi (or Yau Yongxi), who is also a very low-key person.

▲ Instagram has few followers, and privacy has been set, and Weibo has been deprecated for many years, and almost all of them are food.

Suspected single, she also works for the family business and currently serves as Vice President Purchasing at Dorsett Group and Chinese mainland and General Manager of Hong Kong Development at Far East Development Corporation. Compared with her second sister, her work in the family business seems to be more able to assist her eldest sister Qiu Yongyun.

▲ Once praised Qiu Yongjun as a sister with 101 points, and the sisters have a very good relationship.

▲ Posted a photo with Maggie Cheung.

▲ Also attended the activities of the Hong Kong Elite Association with the fourth wife of the gambling king and the daughter of the gambling king, He Chaoying.

▲ In recent years, she has become more low-key and has not attended many events.

The three Qiu sisters also have a younger brother, Qiu Huawei, and the four siblings have a very good relationship.

▲ Later, Qiu Huawei quickly became blessed, and he couldn't tell that he was his younger brother at all.

His younger brother Qiu Huawei dated Zhao Shiming, the granddaughter of Hong Kong ship king Zhao Congyan in 2010.

▲ Zhao Shiming was quite beautiful when he was young.

Zhao Shiming's father is Zhao Shiguang, and her mother is Shaw actress He Lili (originally debuted under her real name "He Lili", but because "Li" is often miswritten as "Li", she officially changed her stage name to "He Lili" around 1966), and we have written about her parents' stories before.

▲ Zhao Shiguang cheated after marriage, and He Lili endured to the end for the sake of the name of the main house and the interests of her children.

▲ Lily He when she was young.

Qiu Huawei and Zhao Shiming are both from wealthy families, but their relationship is not favorable, just because the age difference between the two is 16 years, when Qiu Huawei was only 22 years old and Zhao Shiming was 38 years old. Qiu Huawei's mother is also very worried that it will be more difficult for the older Zhao Shiming to have children.

▲ In fact, Qiu Huawei's appearance is so old, there is no age difference between him and Zhao Shiming.

▲ The two were photographed at the beginning, and their faces were full of unhappiness.

▲ Later, the love held hands and was photographed, and it was full of sweetness.

Before the two fell in love, in fact, the relationship between the Qiu family and the Zhao family was quite good, and when Qiu Yongxian got married, Zhao Shiming also attended the wedding scene with his parents.

Although not optimistic, Qiu Huawei and Zhao Shiming registered their marriage in 2014 in a low-key manner, and three years after marriage, Zhao Shiming gave birth to two sons in succession, and the "throne" of the wealthy family was inherited by someone...

The stories of several female successors of Hong Kong's wealthy families have finally been told. Wealthy families have always had many heirs and prefer sons to women, why are they at the helm of the family business?

First of all, it is very simple, they win in the birth order, and the big sister is also a tradition.

In the past, He Chaoqiong is good, the current Li Side and Qiu Yongjun, including Qiu Huawei's wife Zhao Shiming, are the first children of the second generation of successors, Zheng Zhiwen is the eldest daughter, but has an older brother.

▲ If you say the first successor of the family, it has to be his brother Zheng Zhigang. However, Zheng Zhiwen is also breaking into her own world.

In the process of growing up, they will follow their grandfather or father to contact the family business and lay the foundation, which is a precious experience that is difficult for young children to get, and in Hong Kong's wealthy families, it is also a tradition for big sisters to preside over the overall situation.

Secondly, although they have younger brothers, the other party has no intention of taking over the family business and is not willing to be at the helm, such as Qiu Huawei, the youngest son of the Qiu family, and Zhao Shiqing, the younger brother of Zhao Shiming. The burden of family succession can only fall on female offspring.

The just mentioned Zhao Shiming also has a younger brother Zhao Shiqing, but unfortunately he had no intention of taking over the family business in his early years.

▲ Zhao Shiqing.

▲ Zhao Shiqing is really a different fireworks among the children of Hong Kong's wealthy families... He was obsessed with Chinese martial arts and also built a database to collect information on boxing techniques and equipment from more than 160 martial arts schools in the north and south across the country. At the same time, he is also committed to spreading Orunchun culture, establishing a foundation, and investing 8 million Hong Kong dollars a year in the conservation of northern ethnic minority cultures, of which half is paid by him out of his own pocket. However, in 2019, due to family needs, he also returned to the family business.

Secondly, as family successors, they cannot indulge in entertaining social parties like other celebrities, whether from the perspective of public image or career development needs, they need to show professionalism, calm and low-key nature to gain greater professional respect and trust.

▲ Qiu Yongyun, Qiu Yongxian and He Chaoqiong have a very good relationship, compared with the previous generation of big sisters who often preside over the overall situation as single, this generation of big sisters usually arrange family life more thoughtfully and freely, as long as the partner likes it, it doesn't matter if you get married or not, children also have to have more, anyway, the housekeeping support system is also very strong, relatively speaking, it can be said that family and career are not wrong.

Cheng Chi Man and Yau Yongyun do this perfectly, in their social platforms, most of them are work and work, a few show a happy family, and there is hardly much personal expression. Their news is also mostly professional press releases or interviews, and their private lives are far from public gossip and almost impossible to explore compared to the drama lives of other male members of the family.

In any case, the emergence of more female successors in the wealthy family has also broken the ancient "tradition" of preferring sons over women, not to mention, women are not inferior to men in their careers, right?
