Speaking of rich people in China and Hongkong, people can't help thinking of those who are addicted to money.
For example, Stanley Ho, the "gambling king", mostly tells that his life is a plot in which he and his four wives compete for favor and divide their property.
The Hong Kong rich mentioned next in this article is a small exception.
He is "shark gall tycoon" Zheng Yutong, known as Uncle Tong by the world. He, together with Li Ka-shing, and others, was called "the four big families in Hong Kong" and monopolized most industries in Hong Kong at that time. Even if you sneeze that year, Hong Kong will "shake" with it.
Zheng Yutong's life is full of legends. The Chow Tai Fook Times and the New World Commercial Map he founded can be said to have witnessed the development of the Hong Kong era.
But he always has only one woman, which is rare in Hong Kong's rich circle.
Zheng Yutong's family history is quite inspiring. He grew up from a poor boy step by step and turned over against the wind to become a "jewel king". All this is inseparable from his extraordinary courage and wisdom. Of course, there is also a little luck.
Some people may ask, why is Chow Tai Fook surnamed Zhou instead of Zheng?
The first Chow Tai Fook was founded by Zhou Zhiyuan, a close friend of Zheng Jingzhi, Zheng Yutong's father.
Zheng Jingzhi and Zhou Zhiyuan are fellow villagers and both work in the Silk Villa. Interestingly, their wives were pregnant and gave birth almost at the same time, just a man and a woman.
As a result, the two families decided to get married early.
One is, and the other is Zhou. The two children are already married in their bellies.
Because of the war, Zhou later moved to Macao, where he also opened a Chow Tai Fook gold shop, and the business was good.
At that time, the Zheng family was in decline and was sent as an apprentice just after graduating from primary school. He was only 13 years old at that time.
Zheng Yutong himself didn't know about the early marriage ordered by the two families when he was a child. He worked wholeheartedly in the shop, saying that he was an apprentice, but in fact he did odd jobs.
Later, Zheng Yutong recalled this experience like this:
"Some media said that I used to be an apprentice, and I didn't have such good conditions. Apprentices are goldsmiths and learn how to make gold. I am sweeping the floor and cleaning the table. I am not even as good as an apprentice. "
However, Zheng Yutong has been smart since he was a child, with a quick brain, which can attract customers. He is a good material for doing business, and all this has been seen by his future father-in-law.
/kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, he became the shopkeeper of Chow Tai Fook and married Chow Tai Fook's daughter, Zhou, the woman who accompanied him all his life.
There used to be two children, one was a poor boy who dropped out of primary school, and the other was Chow Tai Fook's daughter. The class was very different. At that time, some people were not optimistic, but who would have thought that this person would later become one of the richest people in Hong Kong?
Three years later, Zhou set up a branch in Hong Kong and directly let him take the helm. I have to say that Zhou Zhiyuan has a good eye.
Zheng Yutong made Chow Tai Fook a great success in Hong Kong, and later acquired a diamond processing factory in South Africa, becoming a veritable "jewel king" in Hong Kong.
In addition, he also used the "east wind" developed in the Hong Kong era to enter the real estate field. 1970, Zheng Yutong, He Shanheng, Guo Desheng and others established New World Development Co., Ltd.
Worthy of being called "shark gall tycoon", he has the courage and momentum of a shark, which has turned his life against the wind.
Such a legendary successful man has only one woman in his life, and that is his wife Zhou.
If there is a scandal, it is a minority.
Kuang Meiyun is one of them. She met the Zheng family during the Miss Hong Kong Competition, when Chow Tai Fook was the sponsor of the competition.
Kuang Meiyun and Zheng Yutong's son Zheng Jiacheng had a brief love affair and almost became Zheng Yutong's daughter-in-law.
Although they broke up later, Zheng Yutong has been helping Kuang Meiyun, guiding her in business and making a small fortune in jewelry and real estate.
Later, during Zheng Yutong's illness, Kuang Meiyun also lent him food to read Buddha and prayed for his early recovery.
In addition, Zheng Yutong has a goddaughter. Speaking of the words "michel platini" and "goddaughter", there seems to be an ambiguous atmosphere.
Michelle Ye is the woman who was once called "the woman with her head down" by Wang Sicong. She has good grades, is a schoolmaster and has a good acting career, but she is a little in love.
Her love story is not mentioned here. Let's focus on her relationship with Zheng Yutong.
I got in touch with Zheng Jia because he met his grandson.
In a hotel activity, Michelle Ye was photographed dancing with Zheng Yutong, which caused the media to think.
Michelle Ye answered the media in Zheng Yutong's original words: "If you don't dance on the dance floor, you won't study?"
Later, I recalled that as long as she was unhappy, Uncle Tong would listen to her complaints and wear Chow Tai Fook jewelry for life.
The woman who really had an affair with Zheng Yutong was his "confidante" Cindy, who didn't have much information on the Internet.
It is reported that she is a girl from the northeast of China who was introduced to Zheng Yutong by her aunt when she came to Hong Kong to participate in the beauty contest.
At that time, Zheng Yutong was nearly 80 years old, and Cindy was still a teenage girl. Their relationship was just chatting to relieve boredom.
On one occasion, the media asked Zheng Yutong why he didn't marry. He smiled and said no, his wife would castrate him. But you can still see his deep love for his wife from his expression.
Just as Zheng Yutong was preparing to retire and enjoy the two-person world of the old couple, he didn't expect that in 20 12, he suddenly suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. He was in a coma for four years and closed his eyes at home on 20 16.
The life of Zheng Yutong, a business tycoon, has also come to a successful conclusion.
