Stanley Ho has 6 sons, why did he choose his daughter Pansy Ho to succeed instead of letting his son take over?
In Stanley Ho's business empire, there is nothing more talked-about than his successor, his eldest daughter Pansy Ho.
Under China's traditional concept of "preference for sons over women", Stanley Ho's decision is undoubtedly an astonishing move, which has aroused widespread attention and discussion from the outside world.
Why did Stanley Ho make such a choice? What are the considerations behind it?
Stanley Ho has four wives and 17 children in his life, and the family relationship is complicated.
In 2010, due to Stanley Ho's serious illness, family infighting broke out for a time, and how to balance the interests of each house and maintain family harmony became a difficult problem in front of Stanley Ho.
Stanley Ho has four listed companies under his name: SJM, Shun Tak Group, Melco International and MGM Macau, which are managed by children in different houses, which can be described as intertwined and intertwined.
Among Stanley Ho's six sons, the eldest son died early, and the other sons were either young and inexperienced, or in poor physical condition, and only the second son, Ho Youlong, had the conditions to succeed.
Surprisingly, Stanley Ho finally put the crown on the head of his eldest daughter Pansy Ho.
Pansy Ho not only inherited MGM Macau and Shun Tak Group, but also became the spokesperson of the Ho family, while Pansy Ho co-managed SJM with Angel Leung, who developed Melco International.
This decision is a prudent consideration made by Stanley Ho based on the actual situation and long-term interests of the family.
On the one hand, this arrangement avoids internal friction in the family and leaves room for He Youlong to develop; On the other hand, it also gave He Chaoqiong and other daughters the opportunity to display their talents and make a name for themselves in the family business.
Stanley Ho's risk diversification strategy of "not putting all the eggs in one basket" is the same as Li Ka-shing's separation arrangement back then, all in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Kwok Tak-sheng family.
It is gratifying that Pansy Ho has shown outstanding leadership after taking over.
Under her leadership, the He family became more and more united, and the old contradictions and grievances were resolved, showing a thriving scene.
Pansy Ho has proved with practical actions that women can also provoke the pillars of the family business and lead the family to a more brilliant future.
Bound by traditional beliefs, many family businesses struggle with succession issues, and Stanley Ho's choice has undoubtedly given them a dose of medicine, inspiring them to break the rules and choose the most suitable successor according to the actual situation, rather than sticking to gender and blood.
