The story has to start from the beginning:
He Wanqi 1923 was born in Hong Kong, two years younger than his brother Stanley Ho. He Wanqi was smart since childhood and loved by his family, especially with Tian Wen, who was only two years younger than him.
As the richest man in Hong Kong at that time and a descendant of the famous He Dong family, she lived in a villa, wore fine clothes, ate delicacies, and went in and out without ostentation and extravagance, which was a flower of wealth.
Only this luxurious life came to an abrupt end when He Wanqi 1 1 was old.
Her father was cheated, failed in investment, and his family came down. In order to survive, she had to follow her father to leave Hong Kong and take refuge in Vietnam.
Mr. Ho and his mother stayed in Hong Kong, leaving behind a broken family.
During his years in Vietnam, He Wanqi followed his father to do business everywhere. Although she learned a lot, she also learned a lot of ways and means of doing business.
She has also rapidly changed from an introverted girl to a rich girl who doesn't know the sufferings of the world.
Although the days of noble families no longer exist, He Wanqi's noble family temperament and family background still exist. Coupled with her natural beauty, she is a four-nation hybrid like her brother Stanley Ho.
Gradually, in Saigon, Vietnam, He Wanqi became a half-blood beauty with bright facial features, absolutely beautiful. Later, she was called the first beauty in Macao.
Women with both talents and looks always have suitors, and He Wanqi's peach blossoms are also endless.
Her beauty even seduced Phuc Thien Nguyen, the last Vietnamese emperor. It is rumored that Baoda once pursued He Wanqi, but unfortunately Wang Xiang was affectionate and the goddess was careless.
Although it didn't become a thing of the past, the shrewd He Wanqi helped his father win the casino in Vietnam because of his relationship.
194 1 year, 18-year-old He Wanqi followed his father back to his hometown of Hong Kong.
Soon after, the returning girl He Wanqi made her first 1 public appearance in the family, which naturally surprised her.
Her beauty shocked everyone in the family, including her 16-year-old cousin Hong and her uncle He Dong's first grandson.
He Hongzhang later recalled: My grandparents' wedding anniversary party was attended by hundreds of people, but I fell in love with her at first sight. She was a great beauty. I was 16 years old when I fell in love with her.
One is a delicate girl who was born and raised in Cream Beam, and the other is a gorgeous and beautiful girl who has experienced the world.
Love at first sight, love at first sight, a thousand years.
A frivolous young man carried away by love.
I didn't care about the awe of ethics, and at that time, the two were still young and didn't deeply understand the bondage brought by their cousins.
They fell in love at first sight at the family dinner, and began to contact frequently in private, which made them even more difficult to extricate themselves, and established a love relationship without telling their families.
Their forbidden love from Yan value began like this.
The abnormal contact between two people in private was slowly discovered by their families.
Their grandfather is a blood brother and a cousin who has been separated by a generation.
He Dong family is the first of the four major families in Hong Kong, and He Dong himself is the richest man in Hong Kong.
How can a noble family tolerate such a scandal?
When the family learned that they were in love, it was the ultimate revenge. Resolutely opposed. They, the young people attached to the family, struggled for several years, but they still couldn't carry this huge family.
Five years later, on 1946, He Wanqi was arranged by her family to marry Mai Zhiwei of Maijia, Hong Kong.
Eric Zhang was also sent to study at George University in the United States, and two deeply loved lovers were forced to separate.
Of course, such things will be opposed in any family, even ordinary people.
If the fate ends here, maybe they can get along well, but the story and fate will always continue to develop and meet again inadvertently.
Twenty-three-year-old He Wanqi married Mai Zhiwei of Mai family, who was also the grandnephew of Stanley Ho's grandmother Mai Xiuying. They didn't know each other long when they got married. Unexpectedly, such a close relative has been cheated.
After he got married, He Wanqi discovered that compared with any family, Mai Jia was just an empty shell. However, the qualification of Mai Zhiwei, who has fallen from his family, is even more mediocre, just an office worker with a monthly salary of 900.
He Wanqi, a well-off family in the past, was reduced to living in a car house after marriage. Compared with before, married life can be described as a world of difference. Mai Zhiwei can only be a puppet husband to He Wanqi. They have been married for several years and have no children.
1953, 30-year-old He Wanqi was more gorgeous and elegant. He met Eric Zhang who returned from a study tour at the racetrack again.
Four eyes are opposite, the sweet scenes of the past reappear in front of us, and the feelings that have not been forgotten are easier to burn.
They love to rekindle the fire, such as moths to a flame, desperate, hiding from their families, quietly living together outside, and began their shocking extramarital affairs.
After all, paper can't hold fire, and their emotional entanglements are once again discovered by their families.
1955, under the arrangement of his family, Zhang married an English woman in. After marriage, they gave birth to five sons and three daughters.
Who knows that at that time, He Wanqi was pregnant with Mr. Ho's flesh and blood.
75-year-old Stanley Ho said in an interview that if he knew that ten girls were pregnant with her flesh and blood, he might not get married.
This child is Mai Shunming, who was placed under the name of He Wanqi's husband, Mai Zhiwei, and Eric Zhang, who was unaware of it at that time, recognized him as an adopted son.
After Mai Shunming, they also gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, Mai Yu Hui.
In fact, while they were married at the same time, they kept an affair in secret until He Wanqi and Mai Zhiwei 1974 went to the United States. During this period, He Wanqi and Mai Zhiwei also gave birth to two biological children, four of whom were under the name of Mai Zhiwei.
Later, Mai Zhiwei failed to invest in the United States and faced bankruptcy. He Wanqi and Mai Zhiwei divorced.
After the divorce, He Wanqi returned to Macau to build a family gambling industry with his brother Stanley Ho, becoming his brother's right-hand man and a famous gambling king in Macau.
After returning to Macao, He Wanqi reunited with Stanley Ho, and she had no obvious emotional marriage relationship. She turned and married a dentist.
Of course, during their marriage with their second husband, He Wanqi and Stanley Ho still maintained a lover relationship.
Maybe He Wanqi knows clearly that her relationship with her cousin Stanley Ho will not be accepted by the world.
Perhaps it is a better and safer choice to let them develop their feelings underground under the surface packaging of an honest marriage.
At this time, He Wanqi also informed Mr. Stanley Ho about Mai Shunming's life experience. Later, Stanley Ho also set up a trust fund for their children, which was headed by He Wanqi.
He loves and feels guilty about He Wanqi. He Wanqi once sold his favorite pearl necklace and gave him 60,000 when he was down and out. Later, when He Wanqi started a business with the gambling king, she also gave her 2 million.
That is, this 2 million changed her life track.
In the history of gambling king, his sister He Wanqi personally helped him.
He Wanqi is very talented in business. He used to run the casino business in Vietnam and made great contributions to the success of his brother Stanley Ho's gambling industry.
This 2 million not only became the start-up capital of Stanley Ho's gambling industry at that time, but also He Wanqi's business ability and casino experience. More importantly, it played a vital role in the development of Stanley Ho's gambling industry, and also earned a lot of money for himself, also known as "after gambling billions".
In business management, He Wanqi showed outstanding talent, meritocracy, multi-faceted, decisive and neat form and style, both calm and courageous, and cooperated seamlessly with Mr. He's brothers and sisters, invincible all the way, and opened up territory on the career map.
The gambling king once trusted his sister very much, but later turned against him because of Mai Shunming.
He Wanqi's love for his son Mai Shunming is hopeless. It can be said that she was planted by Stanley Ho in the first half of her life and Mai Shunming in the second half.
It turned out that under the doting of his mother, Mai Shunming was so addicted to gambling that he was so handsome that even his family went bankrupt. He Wanqi even borrowed 654.38+0.5 billion from the gambling king in order to pay off his gambling debts.
In the 1990s, Liang Anqi, the fourth largest gambling king, entered Australian Entertainment, drooling over He Wanqi's shares. He Wanqi asked his brother to transfer his shares in Australian Entertainment Company to his son Mai Shunming and let him join the board of directors.
Stanley Ho, who pays attention to children's education, has a bad impression on his nephew Mai Shunming, who has nothing to do, and naturally does not agree.
As close as ever, the brother and sister finally went to court.
In court, the family taboo scandal was made public, causing an uproar.
He Wanqi complained that when they founded the Australian entertainment circle 40 years ago, the start-up funds were all from themselves, and Stanley Ho was ungrateful and wanted to sweep himself out of the house.
Later, He Wanqi voluntarily disclosed Mai Shunming's bizarre life experience to the outside world, and claimed that her brother used this as a reason to control and coerce her to give up her equity and work hard for Australian entertainment for decades.
Finally, she claimed that her brother owed her a dividend for five years, about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Mai Shunming also changed his name, officially changed to He Dong shun ming, and recognized his ancestors.
However, He Wanqi still lost the lawsuit and was kicked out of the Australian entertainment company, which completely ended his decades-long brotherly relationship with Stanley Ho.
Unexpectedly, He Wanqi not only broke up with her brother Stanley Ho, but also broke up with her beloved Stanley Ho. The fuse of the break was their son He Dong shun ming.
At that time, He Dong shun ming wanted to divorce his wife Chen Fusheng. Eric feels that his son is irresponsible, unlike himself. In a rage, he said that he hadn't tested DNA and didn't believe that He Dong shun ming was his son.
He Dong shun ming, in turn, sued his father, Stanley Ho, demanding 600 million yuan in compensation for mental damage. What is even more bizarre is that He Wanqi actually supports his son's behavior.
Hurt by He Wanqi's behavior, Mr. Stanley Ho used the court as a tool for their dispute and sued He Wanqi for asking for 2 million Hong Kong dollars given to her in those years.
Who would have thought that white-haired people ignored secular taboos and loved people all their lives, even went to court. At this point, He Wanqi and Stanley Ho also turned against each other.
When Mr. Stanley Ho died on 20 17, he told his relatives around him that he hoped that He Wanqi and He Dong shun ming could help him. Then, on the day of his funeral, He Wanqi and He Dong shun ming never showed up again, just sent a flower basket and a card.
2065438+In June 2008, 95-year-old He Wanqi also died of illness. Before her death, she never forgave her brother Stanley Ho. She left her last words: let Stanley Ho pay the bill! Pay back the money!
However, the news of her death was not made public until the end of August, and her other children also learned of her mother's death through the media. That is to say, before He Wanqi died, there were no other biological children and family members beside him except He Dong shun ming, which was very sad.
Until her death, the feud with her brother Stanley Ho was still unresolved.
In his autobiography before his death, He Wanqi wrote a message to his mother: Mom, you can never imagine how Tian Wen, who vowed to take care of me that day, bullied his younger siblings in the later days, not only failed to fulfill his promise to take care of his mother, but also showed no concern for brotherhood.
He Wanqi's life is legendary and sad at the same time.
It's all because I always miss the Chinese New Year, even my whole life, among the people who have a quick glance.
The Hong Kong media once commented on the feud of the gambling king family: This story makes people cry and is more wonderful than any movie. It contains all the factors that stimulate people's nerves, sex, conspiracy, power struggle and countless money.
He Wanqi's life is as legendary and wonderful as their family's story, and it's just as sad!
