Some time ago, Louis Vuitton's Pre-Fall 2024 menswear collection show was held in Hong Kong.
This show is "unprecedented" in every sense: not only is it LV's first pre-fall menswear show, but it is also the first time LV has set up a show in Hong Kong, China.
You must know that LV, as the world's top luxury fashion brand, is very particular about the location of the show. Fashion sense and artistic value are all taken into account.
For example, Shanghai was chosen for the 2022 spring and summer women's fashion show, because Shanghai, which is both international and fashionable, has an important position in the fields of fashion and art.
This time the first location in Hong Kong, in addition to Hong Kong's own resources and value being recognized, it is also inseparable from the promotion of a person, he is-
Adrian Cheng, the third-generation successor of the Cheng Yu Tung family, the CEO of New World Development Company Limited, and the founder of K11 MUSEA.
As the man most likely to surpass Li Ka-shing to become the richest man in Hong Kong, Adrian Cheng has always attracted much attention, and was once named one of the "40 Under 40 Business Elites in the World in 2012" by Fortune magazine, and is even regarded by the outside world as the "light of a wealthy family".

In addition to being young and making money, he has hundreds of billions of assets, and he has been spoiling his wife for 14 years with zero scandals, just like Guo Jingjing and Huo Qishan, a clear stream in the three generations of Hong Kong's rich.
In fact, marriage is only a facet of the life of a wealthy family, and I am used to seeing a golden son hunting female stars, and the sincere love of "one person for a lifetime" has become a scarce commodity in a wealthy family.
So, the wives of the rich men who won the best are really just lucky?
Everything behind this is the far-reaching layout of the family inheritance of the wealthy with extraordinary vision. Today, let's talk about this topic.
1.
/ Wealthy family inheritance:
The palace fight drama was staged, and the father and son were also competitors
The third generation stands out /
There is a rich eldest son qualifications are not gratifying, he worked hard for decades, and finally defeated the only competitor brother, when he was ecstatic to sit firmly on the throne of the heir, the result was because the performance was too poor so angry that the old father quickly made a comeback, and finally waited until the previous generation drove the crane west, and suddenly found that he had already lost to the next generation......
This unlucky guy who has ups and downs in the process of ascending to the throne is Hong Kong billionaire Cheng Kar-chun, the eldest son of shark dar Zheng Yutong, and the father of Zheng Zhigang.
Speaking of which, the inheritance drama of the Zheng family in Hong Kong is really full of drama and reversal. You must know that Zheng Zhigang and his sister Zheng Zhiwen have been regarded by the whole Hong Kong as the "three generations of heirs of a wealthy family" for many years.
But a month ago, when their father Zheng Jiachun was interviewed, Leng was a good person to dismantle the stage:
The successor is still under observation and will not be easy to find. For the sake of family inheritance, there is no need to find a successor, the company's business scope is broad, family members can be responsible for individual businesses, and there is no suitable one to hire externally.
Virtue comes first, family unity comes first, people who only take care of their own house, and only put their own interests first, how can they pass on the business? Without a successor, the decision of the family shareholders' meeting will be eliminated......
Who is in the yin and yang, everyone please taste it carefully, it is very intriguing.
Dig deeper into Zheng Kar-chun's marriage and love background, in addition to his respectful wife Ye Meiqing, Zheng Kar-chun also has a famous "girlfriend", Da Liu's ex-girlfriend, the famous lawyer Wang Yingyu.
Wang Yingyu opened a law firm in the Zheng Family New World Building, and gave birth to two sons to Zheng Jiachun.
Now, the previous generation of people in power is dying, the two little sons have not reached the age of the crown, and their wings are not yet full.

Although Cheng Kar-chun has a lot of complaints about his eldest son, Zheng Zhigang's ability and character are well-known in the circle.
Zheng Zhigang was born in 1979 and went to the United States to study at the age of 14, where he studied East Asian Literature at Harvard. After graduating, he studied Japanese culture and art for a year at the Kyoto Research Center at Stanford University.
After completing his studies, Adrian Cheng successively worked in venture capital, securities analysis and other financial work at Goldman Sachs Investment Company and UBS, and learned Xi capital operation and business management knowledge in practice. It wasn't until 2006 that Adrian Cheng returned to the family business.
Zheng Zhigang's ability is quite recognized by his grandfather and the outside world, borrowing Ni Ping's words in the live broadcast room to comment on Dong Yuhui and Dongfang Xiaosun, "The child has long ability, and the father should steal the fun." ”
And Zheng Kar-chun, who has repeatedly sworn sovereignty, has taken a straight head, and the knocking has obvious implications. However, Zheng Zhigang himself has not been affected too much, why is this behind it?

/ Salient features of the three generations of Qingliufu heirs:
The young man is ambitious, the husband and wife are loving,
Stable career, unremarkable private life /
When other rich children were Yepu and bubble female celebrity models, Zheng Zhigang married young at the age of 30, and his other half was Yu Yaying, the daughter of the "Hong Kong seafood king".
Yu Yaying not only has a deep family background, but her education and ability match her husband's, or even better. She graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Science degree with honors in Operations Research in Industrial Engineering with a minor in Economics.
His career experience is also glittering, having worked at J.P. Morgan Securities (Asia Pacific) Limited and as an executive director of Goldman Sachs' corporate bonds, foreign exchange and commodities divisions. After the financial turmoil, she joined the education industry and founded the Peijing Women's Impact Fund, focusing on the development of female middle school students.
It is said that this pair of golden boys and girls who are the right people get married, and they are also very idol drama plots in love, but they are cliché but always love at first sight......
In 2009, Yu Yaying married into a wealthy family, and the Zheng Yutong family spent 114 million Hong Kong dollars (about 123 million yuan) to hold the wedding of the century.
The marriage of the two wealthy families was attended by all the gentry and celebrities of Hong Kong, from Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee, Kwok Bingjiang, Fok Zhenting to Yang Shoucheng and his wife, Cai Zhiming and his wife all attended the celebration in person, and the scene was grand.
At the wedding, Yu Yaying wore an ivory low-cut trailing wedding dress designed by New York designer Vivian Luk, and when a couple and her in-laws arrived, they took a Bentley RV with HK8888 and 8888 license plates respectively, and the total number of groomsmen and bridesmaids was enough for "18" people, and everything had to be popular.
After marriage, Zheng Zhigang plunged headlong into work, rational and mature, and emotionally stable.
I have a detailed work schedule every day, so I don't look down on any Yingying Yanyan and Ye Pu Party, and if I want to do it, I will hold a fashion event that shocks the whole Hong Kong, and I am usually very busy with important positions in many group companies such as Chow Tai Fook Jewellery, Giordano International, New World Real Estate, and New World Charity Foundation.
And his wife, Yu Yaying, after giving birth to a son and a daughter, made up the word "good", and concentrated on her own education career.
Note that unlike other celebrities and ladies who are paddling and engaging in temporary jobs, people are serious.
In 2009, she served as Vice Chairman of CTF Education Group, and since February 2021, she has also served as President of CTFEG......
Yu Yaying, who has never interfered in the family's core business, is a "strong alliance" with her husband in any way.
There is a division of labor in the family, and the career goes hand in hand, and her charity also adds to the family.
Probably because the rear is stable, they have never had conflicts, and there is very little negative news about lace news (yes, definitely less than the previous generation).
Of course, as a wealthy Yu Yaying, social gatherings are still indispensable for necessary occasions.
▲ (In this photo of "the eldest daughter of the most powerful and wealthy family in Hong Kong", He Chaoqiong and Qiu Degen's granddaughter Qiu Yongjun occupy the C position, the woman in the pink suit on the far left is Yu Yaying, the last two men in the suit with glasses and a cute smile on the right are Zheng Zhigang, and the handsome man on the far right is "Lin Zhiying in the racing world", Qiu Yongyun and his father Dong Hebin. ）
In the workplace, Yu Yaying is a vigorous and resolute professional woman, but in private gatherings, she has a baby face, but she is rich and blessed, young and pink.
Yu Yaying's nobility is far more than the blessing of her husband's family, but also from her heart.
Although in terms of assets, Yu Yaying's background is slightly inferior to the Zheng family of the four major families in Hong Kong. However, the marriage of "double giants" with equal academic qualifications, similar education and working environment, and double blessings:
Not only the resources and connections of the mother's family, but also the woman herself who is good-looking, talking, and talented are the strongest help to lift the man's career.
You can see it, no matter who the position of successor is given, it can't shake Zheng Zhigang's foundation itself.
In recent years, Adrian Cheng has been committed to building K11 MUSEA, the "Silicon Valley of Culture", which has been talked about by the outside world, and the cooperation with top luxury brands proves that Adrian Cheng's influence in the cultural and fashion circles has already broken through the country laid by his father.
Strength is confidence.
This kind of surface seems to be neither fighting nor grabbing, but in fact there is nothing missing, and it is not obsessed with the endless characteristics of the rich three generations, in addition to the pair we mainly talked about today, He Chaoqiong's younger brother He Youlong, the eldest son of the second room of the gambling king, and Huo Qigang, the third generation eldest son of the Huo Yingdong family, can be seen in the three generations of these wealthy families with a good reputation.

/ The second generation of the heir to the rich,
There are often two extreme ecosystems:
Rich idlers and excellent self-discipline and doers /
Hard-working players, including the rich generation Zheng Yutong, are efficient and focused, and their biggest hobby in life is work.
The money earned is only the "fruit", and the ultimate goal is actually self-realization.
But don't think that a man who loves work must not know how to live, Zheng Zhigang watched Jay Chou's concert and was captured.
The old man Zheng Yutong, whose beloved wife is even more preachy, said to his grandson:
Don't be a big man, you have to endure the pleasure of a while, a woman is used to hurt when she marries home, if she talks back to you, don't refute, I really can't stand it, just go in and out of the left ear, just don't hear it.
instructed her granddaughter-in-law Yu Yaying: Remember to give face to your husband outside, and if there is anything to do, the two of them will solve it by themselves when they go home.
Like a gambling king circumnavigating between several women to enjoy the blessings of others, it is Yaxing, fun, and at the same time a sweet trouble.
Self-disciplined doers are more direct to the goal, and their energy is focused on the "only" they love. And the women they love are the types who know their roots, have similar interests, and contribute to their careers.
In this way, we can ensure that the husband and wife are orderly enough, the rear is harmonious and stable, and they are twisted into a joint force, strong alliance, and bear the risk together.
In the final analysis, a wealthy family is the epitome of an ordinary family.
Let's not talk about the bad things of the wealthy son, the husband of an ordinary family is distracted, and the internal friction in the family must be quite serious, and the jealousy and property disputes are non-stop.
If it is said that the interest of the three generations of the rich and doers is work, the interests of the rich and noble idlers are much more extensive. Female celebrities, the nightclub life of dogs and horses, in short, as long as you don't lose too much, just spend all the pocket money you receive every month.
They live under the cuteness of their fathers, enjoy the proud wealth and social status given by the family, and marry a stunning beauty female star, and live happily and freely, the representative figure is Xu Jinheng, the grandson of the ship king Xu Aizhou.
Hui Chun-hang now draws monthly living expenses from the family trust fund and lives in a duplex flat on Hong Kong Island held by his family, and does not hold any property in his personal name. The family owns a luxury property at 10 Big Wave Bay Road with a valuation of about HK$700 million.
Xu Jinheng's ex-wife is Hong Kong's famous female practical He Chaoqiong, which shows how much Xu Jinheng was given when the ship king and the gambling king's top double-tycoon family got married.
It's a pity that doing business is essentially the same as choosing a lover, and the twisted melon is not sweet after all. After Xu Jinheng recognized the facts, he simply enjoyed his life in peace.
Alas, even if there is a strong external force, it will be a vain if you can't catch it.
Having said all this, after all, it still returns to the usual topic, the compatibility of marriage.
In ancient times, the words of the matchmaker who paid attention to the orders of their parents were relatively suppressed, and the personalities of both men and women were relatively suppressed: find a suitable person, and make do with it for a lifetime.
Xu Jinheng's negative teaching material gave a powerful warning to the wealthy, and money and material nourishment the degree of freedom:
The more children are raised by the rich, the more individualized they are, and the more they pay attention to their own feelings.
The essence of a good marriage is the rational reallocation of resources and the maximization of interests of both parties. If there is no tranquility and happiness, the simple and crude combination of interests will not last long after all.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that marriage and love are "the right match". The daughters and ladies who are raised in the boudoir are not allowed to marry, and their fate is usually linked to marriage and is closely related to the honor and disgrace of the family.
However, the times are different now, and the second-generation children of wealthy families enjoy the top elite education, studying in the world's first-class universities Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford, learning Xi knowledge, broadening their horizons, and meeting their ideal other half.
Similar family background, educational background, and growth experience ultimately point to the same values, even if the hormones and passions fade, they can still live comfortably together.
Adrian Cheng and his wife both have experience studying at Harvard, and both have worked hard in the financial field after graduation, and their common language is indispensable.
He Youlong, the second son of the gambling king, and his wife Luo Xiuyin are childhood sweethearts who have known each other for 16 years, and they officially fell in love during their study abroad, and they have been together for a lifetime longer, I am afraid that they are longer than their parents and brothers, and no one is more familiar with each other than each other.
As for the pair of Huo Qigang and Guo Jingjing, they are a "good match" in the spiritual sense, complementing each other's advantages. The extraordinary significance of the Olympic champion to the Huo family, the man's career, reputation, and the blessing of the next generation of genes far exceed the financial advantage of the giants.
It is easy to fall in love and difficult to get along, but it is difficult to be insynchronously and accommodating in all aspects.
From the gap between IQ and dedication, to the habit of spicy and salty Xi life, many trivial things have to be taken care of.
Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and the measure is themselves. When disagreements arise, how many people can afford to not measure others by their own standards?
The premise of being together is that they can accept each other's worst.
The vast differences between people are never bridged by unilateral subjective efforts.
Gao Pan, who has an unequal status, is like being roasted on a fire, and it doesn't take long for oil to bubble and the skin to open the flesh.
And the scars represent the rifts and estrangements in the relationship, and the limited love is also consumed.
Although the wealthy marriage does not have the distress of poor couples worrying about firewood, rice, oil and salt, if they can't get along, there are more interest disputes and calculations.
In a sense, the right pair is a marriage insurance policy:
The like-mindedness in marriage is a combination of affection, understanding and resonance, and a common pursuit.
