"Son, you must be a loser in the future, you must spend all your money, don't work hard like me, as long as you don't gamble, you can do anything!"
In 1997, when Hong Kong's billionaire Deng Yongxiang was dying, he bent his body to say these heartfelt words to his son Deng Zhaozun.
"Living in a billionaire mansion, raising three girlfriends, spending all day drinking, and buying a small island casually when you are in a good mood", Deng Zhaozun also used his own actions to prove to his father that he was an out-and-out "loser".
It wasn't until many years later that Deng Zhaozun understood his father's good intentions......
This inevitably makes people wonder, how rich Deng Yongxiang is, and how much money he spends still needs to be explained? What is his "good intentions"?
The life of a "loser".
"Waking up in a 100-meter bed, driving tens of millions of luxury cars on the road, driving private jets to play in their own territory", in most people's hearts, this is simply a dream life.
However, for Deng Zhaozun, this is a true portrayal of him.
The so-called parents' beloved son, is far-reaching, no matter whether it is a wealthy family or a common people, parents just have made a lifelong plan for their children, but for Deng Zhaozun, his father's instructions before his death seem to be a little "different".
Because his father made him a "loser" before he died, and he must spend all his inheritance, this is not an empty word, because his father did leave 420 million assets and a building worth billions before he died.
It is no exaggeration to say that Deng Zhaozun's life began at the peak.
Under his father's advice and thousands of wealth, Deng Zhaozun's life is endlessly extravagant, and his status as a son of a rich family has made him the object of pursuit of countless women, and he does not refuse to give people a hug.
In order to let the three girlfriends get along peacefully, Deng Zhaozun not only bought a mansion for them, but also gave them 500,000 pocket money per month.
In addition to the fairness of wealth, his schedule is also fair and equitable, with each person accompanying each person for two days seven days a week, leaving a little discretion.
For more than 20 years, Deng Zhaozun has maintained the state of being accompanied by his three-party girlfriend, and he has become a legend in the Hong Kong circle because of such a strange way of getting along.
Because of his wealth, Deng Zhaozun can not only have three girlfriends at the same time, but his daily life is endless luxury, living in hundreds of millions of mansions, traveling millions of luxury cars, and buying a small island in the tourism photo with a wave of his hand.
In his opinion, only when the money in his hand is less than 100 million is he the poorest, maybe for him such a day is called life.
Looking back on history, unlike Deng Zhaozun, the rich second generation, Deng Yongxiang, his father, who laid down tens of millions of fortunes for him, was far less happy than his son.
"Master of Comedy"
Speaking of Deng Yongxiang, his life is undoubtedly full of twists and turns and glory, as a famous Cantonese opera singer in Hong Kong, in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry, Deng Yongxiang is undoubtedly a master.
Perhaps many young people are very unfamiliar with Deng Yongxiang's name now, but some elderly people have a very deep impression of Mr. Deng Yongxiang.
Once upon a time, Deng Yongxiang's name was very popular, and his masterpieces such as "Diao Chan" and "Lying on Salary and Tasting Courage" and other classic Cantonese operas were popular all over the country, but under the glorious glory of such a generation of famous singers, they had a very tragic childhood experience.
In June 1916, Deng Yongxiang was born in a well-off family in Shunde, Guangdong, his father Deng Qi was a fan of Cantonese opera, and under the influence of his father, he was exposed to Cantonese opera since he was a child.
Not long after the affluent life, my father became addicted to gambling, and the originally stable and happy family was also broken up by my father.
Deng Yongxiang's parents divorced when he was 8 years old, and he followed his mother to Hong Kong to make a living.
In the days when he lived in his employer's house, the young Deng Yongxiang was often harshly scolded and scolded by the heroine of the house, and Deng Yongxiang, who couldn't stand it, ran away from home in Xi'an.
But what can he do at a young age and penniless, fortunately, he has a naturally good voice, and because of his father's love for Cantonese opera, he also sings subtly.
During his wanderings, he was taken in by Jianghu artists to join the opera troupe, and his superior talent and diligence made him the most proud apprentice of Cantonese opera master He Shounian.
In just one year, Deng Yongxiang went to Shantou to sing in the name of "Taiping Unification", and he surprised the four with his unique singing voice and steady steps when he first appeared on the stage, and a performance made him known as Guanyu's "prodigy".
Because he was good at imitating the master of Cantonese opera Ma Shizeng, the master gave him a new stage name "Xin Ma Shi Zeng", and he did not know at that time that his future brilliant life would be completely changed.
At that time, the Taiping Theater where Deng Yongxiang was located was in a state of closure due to the poor elite, but because of Deng Yongxiang's performance, the Taiping Theater was overcrowded, and the venue that was originally in decline also turned around.
At the age of 17, Deng Yongxiang studied under the Cantonese opera master Xue Juexian, and under the guidance of him and several other Peking Opera masters, Deng Yongxiang's singing voice improved by leaps and bounds, and his acting skills became more brilliant.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, Hong Kong had not yet developed movies on a large scale, Cantonese opera occupied half of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and Deng Yongxiang also became a popular traffic niche.
Until 1950, Deng Yongxiang intended to develop in the entertainment industry, and then he appeared in the public eye as a comedian, and the change of identity took his career to the next level.
In 1960, he founded Wing Cheung Records, and with the blessing of his identity, he turned to a lot of money, at that time he not only performed Cantonese opera, but also recorded Peking Opera records, and Tang Yongxiang became a legend in Hong Kong's comedy and film and television industry.
Until now, as a champion in the Cantonese opera industry, Deng Yongxiang's unique singing voice and style still influence the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.
In addition to his career success, Tang Yongxiang also showed superior business acumen, he bought 40,000 square feet of land and entered the real estate industry, he opened restaurants, built buildings, and he also invested 1% of the shares in Macau Entertainment.
More than ten years of hard work have made him a celebrity and a huge rich, but his career success is accompanied by a love full of twists and turns and controversy.
Bumpy love
Perhaps it was the bad experience in his childhood that Deng Yongxiang longed for the warmth of his family.
He has had four wives, except for his second wife Liang Tiantian, who died of illness, and the other three ended up being strangers due to incompatible personalities.
And his last wife, let Deng Yongxiang give sincerity and at the same time make life suffer from public creation.
His fourth wife, Hong Jinmei, was a dancer at the Belly Palace nightclub in North Point, Hong Kong before meeting Deng Yongxiang.
Although Deng Yongxiang is 29 years older than Hong Jinmei, and she knows Deng Yongxiang's worth very well, she tried him as a springboard to change her fate.
Perhaps in Deng Yongxiang's eyes, the union between the two stems from love, but for Hong Jinmei, the relationship between the two is indeed based on his wealth first.
In 1965, 49-year-old Deng Yongxiang and 20-year-old Hong Jinmei came together, and then Hong Jinmei gave up her identity as a dancer and lived with Deng Yongxiang.
But even so, the woman, as a third party, still had no hesitation to develop with her, and this extramarital affair lasted for 27 years.
During this period, Hong Jinmei did her best to serve this man who was 29 years older than herself, and gave birth to four children for him.
Until 1992, Deng Yongxiang divorced his third wife and married Hong Jinmei, but this marriage, which began with money, will eventually be cracked because of money.
After marriage, Deng Yongxiang was found to be suffering from illness, and at the same time he found that his wife was secretly transferring his assets behind his back.
Soon he discovered his wife's behavior, at first he kindly reminded and questioned, but he didn't expect his wife to say confidently, "Anyway, you are dying, and your money will be mine sooner or later."
These words pierced his heart like a sharp sword, and her behavior was also directly exposed to the media by Deng Yongxiang, after the news came out, Hong Jinmei simply didn't pretend, she exposed Deng Yongxiang and the child's various black lights, and the entire Deng family was stirred up at that time.
This also made Deng Yongxiang angry, lying on the hospital bed, he knew that his time was short, he made a will to leave all his wealth to his children, and specially marked that if Hong Jinmei came to make trouble, he would give her a dollar.
At this point, the husband and wife broke up completely, and when Deng Yongxiang was dying, he told his son not to have any worries about spending more money, maybe for him.
The result of "the hard work that ended up being calculated by the people around you" makes you sad, so it is better to enjoy life and enjoy it.
