Darkness is like ink, engulfing the entire bustling neighborhood of Hong Kong. In a damp and gloomy basement, Zhang Ziqiang stared closely at the heavy list of kidnappings presented by his subordinates. The list includes eight of Hong Kong's top billionaires, and it is clear that they will be targeted for the next crime.
Zhang Ziqiang's gaze swept over the list like a beast, and suddenly, he let out a cold sneer, and without hesitation, he recrossed one of the names with his pen.
His men cautiously asked, "Great... Big brother, this... Why is that? Why cross out this name? ”
Zhang Ziqiang showed a hideous smile, and his eyes flashed with danger: "You ignorant guy! How dare you put Fok Yingdong's name on this list? It's self-defeating! ”
"Shut up!" Zhang Ziqiang shouted, his voice echoed in the narrow space, and his little brother was so frightened that he tightened his neck, trembling like a child who had made a mistake.
"If you dare to say more, I will make you pay!" Zhang Ziqiang's gaze was as fierce as a beast, and his younger brother was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and cold sweat trickled down.
Zhang Ziqiang said in a heavy tone: "Huo Yingdong must not be touched!" This is my bottom line, no one is allowed to touch it! If anyone dares to do anything to him, I..."
His large hand slammed into the air, as if it was about to choke someone's throat. The younger brother was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, and he could barely breathe.
"Did you hear me clearly?!" Zhang Ziqiang gritted his teeth, and a fierce light shot out of his eyes. The younger brother nodded in horror.
Zhang Ziqiang sneered insidiously, and slapped the list on the chest of his younger brother, who shook his body and almost fell to the ground.
"Now, get me out of here and make a new list! If anyone dares to fight Huo Yingdong's idea, I will make him pay a heavy price! Zhang Ziqiang's eyes were extremely sharp and terrifying.
In 1991, Cheung successfully robbed a cash truck loaded with HK$160 million in cash at Kai Tak Airport. Although he was eventually arrested by the police and thrown into prison, the court quickly acquitted him due to insufficient evidence, and the British government even paid him a large amount of compensation for this.
In this way, Zhang Ziqiang regained his freedom with the smile of a victor.
After being released from prison, Zhang Ziqiang became more and more unscrupulous, and all kinds of bad behaviors emerged one after another. He began to point the finger at the rich and tried to acquire huge wealth through illegal means.
In 1997, Li Zeju, the eldest son of Li Ka-shing, then the richest man in Hong Kong, was targeted by the famous Hong Kong gangster Zhang Ziqiang. Zhang Ziqiang and his gang member Ye Jihuan carefully planned and deployed, and then, without much effort, Li Zeju was successfully kidnapped, and the lion opened his mouth to demand a huge ransom of up to 138 million Hong Kong dollars from Li Ka-shing.
After the successful implementation of this epic kidnapping case, Zhang Ziqiang relied on his own ingenuity and ingenuity to grab a huge fortune of 438 million Hong Kong dollars.
The case shocked the entire Hong Kong society, and Zhang Ziqiang became famous, and was dubbed the "Thief of the Century" by the media, and his achievements overnight, made him like a rocket from a nameless street gangster to an international criminal in the world's focus.
After experiencing such a huge harvest, Zhang Ziqiang became more and more obsessed with crime, and his inner desires were like greedy monsters that never stopped. In the same year, Hong Kong's second richest man, Kwok Bingxiang, unfortunately fell into the clutches of Zhang Ziqiang, and was also extorted for a ransom of 600 million Hong Kong dollars, of which 300 million was monopolized by Zhang Ziqiang.
However, Zhang Ziqiang was not satisfied with this, and Macau gambling king Stanley Ho also became his next target, but unfortunately he failed to do so this time.
The reason why Zhang Ziqiang was able to successfully kidnap the rich man again and again and obtain huge ransoms was all due to his unconventional criminal wisdom and fearless ruthless methods. Not only does he possess excellent leadership skills, but he is also a martial arts master with unique skills, and he can be regarded as the best among the top criminals.
In the face of such a fierce and arrogant "thief of the century" Zhang Ziqiang, the wealthy class is all afraid, afraid that they will become his next target. Although money can drive away ghosts and gods, in Zhang Ziqiang's eyes, no matter how much wealth the rich have, they cannot escape his control.
Zhang Ziqiang came from an ordinary background, and when he was four years old, he followed the "wave of fleeing Hong Kong" to Yau Ma Tei, a slum area in Hong Kong, and settled down. Yau Ma Tei was the most filthy place in Hong Kong at the time, with gang fights and gunfire incidents frequent.
Zhang Ziqiang, who grew up in this mixed environment, has seen countless sins since he was a child and witnessed too much of the dark side of human nature. Poverty and darkness seemed to have predestined his future path to be accompanied by sin.
As expected, Zhang Ziqiang, who was only 12 years old, began to get involved in various petty cases, frequently entering and leaving the police station. At the age of 16, he entered prison for the first time because of a crime.
Faced with the end of his prison life, Zhang Ziqiang did not show any signs of repentance or introspection, on the contrary, he did not hesitate to devote himself to the underground black forces, and with amazing courage and wisdom, he quickly rose to become the leader of many gangsters, and his subordinates gathered hundreds of followers.
After struggling in the dark corners of the underworld for several years, Zhang Ziqiang gradually rose from a small role that no one paid attention to become an eye-catching big man. He has an almost obsessive attachment to wealth, and the starting point of all his actions is to chase wealth and turn black and white upside down for money.
Soon after, Zhang Ziqiang discovered that kidnapping the rich and extorting ransom from their families was undoubtedly the fastest and most efficient way to accumulate wealth, so he set his sights on those who had wealth.
How can a child who grew up in a poor and criminal environment avoid following Zhang Ziqiang's path full of crime? He was already living in despair, and his later close ties with the gangs led him to gradually transform into a terrifying "Thief of the Century".
In contrast, Fok Yingdong's life journey can be called "legendary". As the founder of the famous "Huo family" family in Hong Kong, Fok Yingdong has experienced hardships since he was a child and tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.
As a teenager, he worked as a coolie, an apprentice, and even worked as a coal burner on a ship. However, Fok Yingdong is by no means a person with a numb mind, he is eager to change his destiny, and he is not willing to be trapped in his life.
When he was 25 years old, Fok Yingdong resolutely decided to go to Dongsha Island and began the difficult entrepreneurial journey of running a Hairen grass business. After several years of hard work and unremitting efforts, he finally accumulated a good start-up capital.
With the support of this valuable capital, Fok Yingdong quickly founded a small ship repair factory, officially kicking off his legendary entrepreneurial life.
In the years that followed, Fok Ying-tung was blessed with good fortune, a prosperous business, and an ever-expanding business territory, quickly becoming one of Hong Kong's richest tycoons. However, what is admirable is that the biggest difference between Fok Yingdong and other rich people is that he has always had a fiery patriotic heart and has never wavered.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Korean War broke out, and the US government imposed extremely severe economic restrictions on China, causing the mainland to fall into a difficult situation of material shortages for a time. At this life-and-death moment, Huo Yingdong stood up with incomparably firm determination and courage, and with his own fleet, he delivered a large number of urgently needed materials to the motherland, and made outstanding contributions to the country's cause of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea!
This feat undoubtedly angered Western forces such as Britain and the United States, and made Huo Yingdong suffer unprecedented suppression, and his life and safety were always in danger. However, Huo Yingdong was not knocked down by these pressures, but was more determined to transport materials for the country, and perfectly interpreted what true patriotism is with practical actions!
Since the beginning of reform and opening up, Fok Ying-tung has devoted all his resources without hesitation and has gone all out to support the country's modernization. In countless major infrastructure projects, he has left the mark of his selfless dedication to investment donations, which can be called a dedication and death!
In addition to his strong financial support, Fok Yingdong is also full of enthusiasm for the development of China's sports industry. He traveled extensively to bring China back to the world sports stage, and at the same time made great efforts to make Beijing a successful 2008 Olympic Games.
During the construction of the Water Cube for the Olympic Games alone, he generously donated a huge amount of up to 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
Throughout Huo Yingdong's life, he dedicated most of his life to the country and the people. Therefore, when he died of overwork in 2006 at the age of 83, the people of the whole country were saddened, and the government gave him the highest courtesy of the state funeral specifications.
It is really admirable that an ordinary person has such a brilliant life course. And Zhang Ziqiang, who is known as the "thief of the century", has never extended a black hand to a patriot like Huo Yingdong, and the reason is worth pondering.
