The results are finally out!
On July 3, according to Hong Kong media reports, Zhou Zhuohua (nicknamed "Xi Mihua") failed to appeal and maintained his 18-year prison sentence.
He struggled to flutter for a year, and finally fell into the water.
In March last year, Xi Mihua was charged with 162 counts and sentenced to 18 years.
Then, Xi Mihua refused to accept the verdict and entered a year-long appeal, and today the dust has settled, and the final trial is still 18 years in prison.
At the same time, nine criminals, including Xi Mihua, need to pay the government 24.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 22.9 billion yuan.
It's over!
Once, he was the emperor above 10,000 people under one person in Macau casinos, and he was also the fifth diamond king in the entertainment industry.
Now he has become a prisoner, and he will be 68 years old when he comes out again after 18 years, and after so many years of immersion in the sound of dogs and horses, it is still unknown whether this body can last until the age of 68.
Counting the first half of Xi Mihua's life, it can be described as treacherous, and now it is full of sighs.
One
Macau is a paradise for gambling.
In this world, four gambling kings were born.
One is Fu Laorong in the 30s of the last century, who is the first generation of gambling kings in Macau and has operated casinos for more than 20 years.
The second is Ye Han, who got the right to operate gambling in the 60s, and was called the "gambling saint" by the Jianghu people because of his mastery of playing Sic Bo.
to the third, it is the famous Stanley Ho.
His history of fame and romance runs through the entire Hong Kong years, and he is the most influential one in the real world and on the screen.
And the fourth place is Zhou Zhuohua, who has just been sentenced to 18 years-
"Wash Mihua"
Xi Mihua's family history is directly related to another big man, "Broken Tooth Pony".
Broken Tooth Pony was a teenager in the casino, and soon developed into a local tyrant, and according to legend, he had a dispute with Jackie Chan, and the scene was ugly.
In 1988, Stanley Ho was determined to seek innovation and launched two cooperation methods: the contract system and stacked loans, to help them join the gang.
This made the broken tooth colt of Ye Luzi see the hope of "turning positive".
He got the right to stack yards, and soon developed into the largest stacker in Macau, which also laid the groundwork for the future birth of Xi Mihua.
Zhou Zhuohua was born in an ordinary grassroots family, and his father only had him at the age of 36, and he was very doting on him.
The family is so poor that Zhou Zhuohua is just in time for the golden age of Macau's gaming industry when he becomes an adult, accounting for half of Macau's local GDP, and the streets are full of casino signs and smoke-swallowing gamblers.
The tide of the times rolls in, and the poor can only go with the flow.
Zhou Zhuohua also squeezed into the casino and started stacking yards.
has been in the society since he was a child, Zhou Zhuohua is well versed in the weaknesses of human nature, and other stacked yards are all showing off their might to make others afraid, while Zhou Zhuohua is bowing down to enter the game, which makes people like it.
In the casino, Zhou Zhuohua always refers to his customers as brothers.
Although there is a group of younger brothers under his hands, he never bullies, and always greets gamblers with a smile, and often says a sentence in his mouth:
"Do you need help, do you have enough money?"
Strong strength, good attitude, coupled with the appearance of this talent, made Zhou Zhuohua famous in the circle.
And at the same time, the goddess of fate gave him an unexpected gift -
At the end of the 80s, a popular TV series "City Story" in Hong Kong, starring Wen Zhaolun and Guo Jinan, also had Stephen Chow playing tricks.
And there is a character in the play who is called "Xi Mihua" by the audience because of his "squinting eyes" (squinting eyes→ squinting eyes), and outside the play, Zhou Zhuohua looks similar to this actor.
Over time, "Ximihua" has become Zhou Zhuohua's flower name.
There is providence in the dark.
The flower name in the play is the eye, but the flower name outside the play is full of one word
——Rice.
Two
In the mid-90s, Broken Tooth was called a prestige in Macau's underground forces, and he monopolized the stacking rights of Macau casinos, and he had to give him a cut of the stacking yards.
He forced Hong Kong's new Ngee An and Heshenghe to retreat one after another, and even the "thief of the century" Zhang Ziqiang was deflated by him.
At this moment, Xi Mihua met his lover and became a general under the door of Broken Tooth.
Then Xi Mihua ushered in the first wave of climax in his life.
Not only does he have a high EQ, but he also has a high IQ, he invented a way of borrowing, lending money to customers without interest at the time, but also accompanying you to bet, and then sucking away 10% interest from customers every time you bet.
In this way, it can not only avoid the sense of difference when sending money, but also reduce the psychological burden of customers, and there are professionals to accompany them when placing bets, and they have won half of the psychology before they have won.
There is still so much money, but the psychological compensation has increased greatly.
This skill made Zhou Zhuohua immediately become the top card in the casino, and the door was full, and the money rolled so hard that he couldn't stop.
However, Xi Mihua has reached the peak of the industry, but his appetite is not satisfied.
At that time, Broken Tooth Ju's brothers were like clouds, and Xi Mihua was just the younger brother's younger brother, and he didn't have a chance to talk to Broken Tooth Ju.
Stacking yards doesn't need brains, and stacking yards is still stacking yards for the rest of your life.
It wasn't until 1998 that Broken Tooth was arrested for blowing up the car of Bai Dean, the "first brother" of the Macau police.
The tree fell and scattered, but at this time, Xi Mihua launched an emotional offensive again, regardless of the danger of being targeted by the police, and frequently visited Broken Tooth in prison.
Gangsters, the most important thing is to see the truth in adversity, which makes Broken Tooth Pony so moved that he has a snot and pulls it into his arms, a good brother for a lifetime.
In order to help Xi Mihua start a business, Broken Tooth Ju wrote a letter to his friend "Brother Dong", and Brother Dong happily gave Xi Mihua 30 million, which became his start-up fund.
Coincidentally, in 1999, he was convicted of multiple crimes and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
The absence of the eldest brother forced Stanley Ho to look for a newcomer, and the fourth wife, Liang Anqi, swept around, and finally set his eyes on this young and promising young man with outstanding appearance, so that he took over the "legacy" of Broken Tooth Pony completely.
At this point, Xi Mihua's life has changed from a bullet train to a rocket, soaring into the sky.
Three
After a few years of hard work, in 2007, he founded the Suncity Group, which rose to prominence with the opening of Macau's gaming franchise.
More than a decade later, the group has successfully gone public, and the number of employees has skyrocketed from dozens to more than 4,500, and Xi Mihua has become a "casino tycoon".
He also caught up with the Internet boom, obtained the Philippine online gaming license, combined online and offline, and did business overseas.
Then, his business empire grew stronger and stronger, and the company's business involved in catering, tourism, real estate and other fields, and blossomed everywhere.
The smooth progress of his life made his ambition soar, and in 2000, when the gambling king Stanley Ho was still there, he dared to call himself the "little gambling king".
But that's not all his ambitions.
In 2009, Xi Mihua boldly broke into the entertainment industry.
He invited stars such as Louis Koo, Liu Qingyun, Ying Caier, and Deng Lixin to shoot "The Poker King", and also brought in Huaqiang's Yongsheng Film Company to cooperate, and Stanley Ho's daughter He Chaoyi also came to support the scene.
It's a pity that the word-of-mouth box office of this film is not good, but it provides a direction for the next stage of Xi Mihua's life.
One is to play.
One is washing.
In 2012, Broken Tooth was released from prison, and the former younger brothers came to greet him, and he didn't see Xi Mihua.
Broken Tooth Ju invited him on the grounds of his mother's birthday, but Xi Mihua still didn't come.
Xi Mihua's attitude of hiding and not seeing exploded the broken tooth horse.
Broken Tooth Ju came to the door angrily and asked Xi Mihua to share 10% of his Suncity Group shares as agreed, but Xi Mihua didn't do it, so he returned the original 30 million investment to him.
Now is different from the past, Xi Mihua is no longer the little minion of the past, and the Broken Tooth Pony has lost his former majesty, and in the end, the Broken Tooth Pony can only swallow this breath.
The eldest Broken Tooth has been married four times.
There are models, mixed races, celebrities, and Miss Asia.
In the early years, because life was too smooth, he divorced after giving birth to "Zhou Baihao", and later married his wife Chen Huiling.
But the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside.
In those years, Zhou Zhuohua and various models and little stars had endless lace news, and the bedroom bed was busy.
And the most explosive is the "Olay Girl" Liu Bili.
Back then, the affairs of the two of them were known throughout Australia, and everyone knew that Zhou Zhuohua had a wife, but Liu Bili was still a little low, and would rather be a junior by Zhou Zhuohua's side, staging the famous scene "Human Meat Sofa".
How wild was Liu Bili back then?
The decent wife Chen Huiling is pregnant, she is also pregnant, and when people give birth to children, she also gives birth to children.
In the end, Chen Huiling gave birth to 4, she gave birth to 3, and the two fought back and forth.
And what about Zhou Zhuohua?
I want them all!
In the end, Zhou Zhuohua and Liu Bili's affair will not end until 2020, and Liu Bili will be given a breakup fee of 500 million, and Liu Bili will take her children to the UK for a leisure.
In addition to Liu Bili, Zhou Zhuohua was also photographed traveling with young model Meko Chiu in South Korea, and dancing with Japanese model Matsuoka Li Na at the wedding of An Yixuan and Chen Ronglian.
The photo of "Miss Asia" champion Feng Xuebing being fostered is also recognized as Zhou Zhuohua.
Like Li Shengli in South Korea, he has had enough fun, and when he is weak, he will turn the girl into a resource for sale.
Everyone knows that there is a notorious word called "Haitian Feast", but before this, Zhou Zhuohua had already held his own "King's Feast".
At the banquet, the big boss's eyebrows danced, and the female stars and models showed their jade bodies, what it looks like, you can think about it yourself.
Uncle Ge said:
The step is big, and it is easy to pull X.
The so-called madness in the sky must have rain, and madness in people must have woe, Zhou Zhuohua's retribution has finally come.
Four
In July 2019, the Economic Information Daily broke the news that Suncity Group is the "biggest poppy", and the online gambling platforms in the Philippines and Cambodia controlled by them have long infiltrated the mainland.
Immediately afterwards, Xi Mihua was rumored to be missing and wanted, and said that Suncity Group was in financial crisis.
Xi Mihua hurriedly refuted the rumors and swore that he did not engage in online gambling in the mainland.
But you've made it this far, do you still want to hide it?
According to media reports, from 2015 to 2019 alone, Ximihua has found more than 300 billion illegal funds, and the gang has made a profit of 8.7 billion.
Hong Kong media previously reported that the amount involved in Xi Mihua's case reached 800 billion, and his personal profit exceeded 20 billion.
How many zeros are there?
I can't count them just by counting.
On the day Xi Mihua was arrested, Broken Tooth was photographed playing in the mainland, his face was full of joy, and the people who accompanied him gave a thumbs up, and he was in a very good mood.
I don't know if Broken Tooth is applauding this "unkind" guy for being cauthed?
Now that the defeat has been decided, Xi Mihua's appeal failed to uphold the original verdict, and a generation of drug kings was finally arrested.
Did Xi Mihua anticipate this ending?
