At the kind invitation of Gou, 73-year-old Mao Yunan became the chairman of Foxconn in 2017. In addition to his outstanding business talents, Mao Yunan also has a little-known identity - the eldest son of the spy leader Mao Renfeng.
Mao Yunan Mao Renfeng, do you know this person? If you know anything about history, you will know that Mao Renfeng is Dai Li's right-hand man. After Dai Li's death, he successfully squeezed out Zheng Jiemin and became the top head of the Secret Bureau.
When Mao Renfeng followed Dai Li in the early days, Dai Li commented that he was "compassionate and femininely gentle", but also pointed out that he was "not decisive enough to achieve great things." ”
Mao Renfeng: On the other side of the spy chief, his methods of killing people were cruel and ruthless, including Yang Hucheng and his son, the military tycoon Yang Jie, the communists and the progressive masses, all died at his hands.
However, no one thought that such a hated spy leader would have three sons with successful careers: the eldest son Mao Yunan once served as the chairman of Foxconn, the second son Mao Fonan is a ** genius with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and the youngest son Mao Shunan is a well-known patriotic overseas Chinese.
Let's review the legendary story of Mao Renfeng and his family.
Although he was born in a gentry family, Mao Shanyu did not follow the right path, but became a murderous military commander. He was born in 1898 in Jiangshan County, Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, and his family was already very poor.
Mao Shanyu is the fifth son in the family, and his parents still sent him to a private school when he was 6 years old. Although the trajectory of his life is far from the expectations of his elders, his name "Shanyu" still embodies the good wish that "the family of goodness will have a good celebration".
Among the children of the Mao family, Mao Renfeng is thin and has many brothers and sisters, so he seems ordinary and even ignored. In such an environment, Mao Renfeng's personality became extreme and gloomy.
He knew that in a large family, only powerful people could be valued, so he had a strong desire for power since he was a child. In 1911, when Mao Renfeng was studying in Wenxi Higher Primary School in Jiangshan County, he met Dai Chunfeng, who was later Dai Li.
Mao Renfeng was actively involved in the "YMCA", a progressive organization founded by Dai Li, but because the organization was soon banned, Dai Li was also forced to transfer schools. These two experiences had a profound impact on Mao Renfeng, and also made his desire for power even stronger.
Mao Renfeng, formerly known as Mao Shanyu, was only 13 years old and renamed "Mao Renfeng" here, with extraordinary ambitions and aspirations to become "the dragon and phoenix among people". A few years later, he met Dai Li again at Zhejiang Provincial No. 1 Middle School, but the relationship between the two was not harmonious.
Mao Renfeng was born into a poor gentry family, and he firmly believed that he could change his fate and gain power through studying. However, Dai Li, on the other hand, was a person who played his cards out of common sense and was eventually expelled for violating school discipline.
Although the two have different starting points, their goal is the same: to become "the dragon and phoenix among people".
Mao Renfeng once cherished the ideal of teaching and educating people, and looked forward to returning to his hometown after graduating from Fudan University, but from the tide of the National Revolution, he decided to join Rong and apply for the Whampoa Military Academy.
However, the reality did not go as he wished, although he was successfully admitted to the Chaozhou branch of the Whampoa Military Academy and became a student of the fourth phase of Whampoa, but he was too weak to adapt to the high-intensity training, and was finally forced to drop out of school and return to his hometown.
The most regrettable thing in Mao Renfeng's life was to drop out of the Whampoa Military Academy, because of this decision, he was ridiculed and ostracized by the student union, which made him feel embarrassed.
Back in his hometown, he was confused and helpless, not knowing where the future would be. At this time, his old classmate Dai Li appeared in front of him again, not only encouraging him to return to Whampoa, but also generously funding his travel expenses.
This move had a profound impact on Mao Renfeng, and Dai Li has been taking good care of Mao Renfeng since his career in the future. A few years later, Mao Renfeng worked as a secretary in the county, and although his life was dull, he was passable.
Until one day, an old friend Dai Lia found him, which marked a major turning point in his life.
Dai Li rose to prominence among the people and began to win over acquaintances and develop factions. He first remembered Mao Renfeng, who had the grace of teaching him. At this time, Mao Renfeng was close to the age of confusion, and after serving at the grassroots level for a few years, he became more sleek.
After Dai Li found him, Mao Renfeng unconditionally accepted the reception work as a commissioner at the Zhejiang Police Academy. Mao Renfeng always greets him with a smile, and he has no arrogance for young people, and his loyal and honest appearance has been recognized by everyone.
In contrast, Dai Li is irritable and often reprimands and scolds his subordinates, but Mao Renfeng always stands up at critical moments and takes responsibility for his subordinates. Therefore, in Dai Li's eyes, Mao Renfeng is "the heart of a bodhisattva, the benevolence of a woman, and it is difficult to achieve great things".
Mao Renfeng seems to be loyal and honest on the surface, but in fact he is a veritable smiling tiger, which his friend Shen Zui can see through at a glance. Although he showed rigor and seriousness in his work, created his own strong work ability and no ambition character, and was reused by Dai Li, he actually had a prominent position in the military command, and was called "three hairs and one dai" with Mao Sen, Mao Wanli and Dai Li, and also became the "four major spies" with Dai Li, Xu Enzeng, and Li Shiqun.
There was once a relationship of trust and cooperation between Mao Renfeng, Shen Zui and Dai Li. Because Dai Li was busy with work, he handed over many tasks to Mao Renfeng. However, Mao Renfeng did not report through Dai Li and Tang to Chiang Kai-shek, but directly reported to Lao Chiang and received a commendation.
This made Dai Li very dissatisfied, because he felt that Mao Renfeng might take his place. However, because Mao Renfeng was his old classmate and did things well, Dai Li did not take immediate action.
So, Dai Li came up with a way to spy on Mao Renfeng.
Xiang Yingxin, a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi, is naturally beautiful, smart and studious, and unwilling to be ordinary. At the age of 18, despite the opposition of his parents, he married a regiment commander surnamed Hu of the Northwest Army as the third aunt.
Since then, she has entered high society. At a ball, she befriended Dai Li, who introduced her to the military command. She used her beauty tricks, successfully ** the Northwest Army, assassinated Yin Rugeng, seduced the Zhongtong Chen Lifu brothers, made great contributions to Dai Li, and became one of his lovers.
* During the period, Mao Renfeng and Xiang Yingxin became acquainted, and Dai Li married Xiang Yingxin to Mao Renfeng with his beauty. Within the military command, Xiang Yingxin's reputation is like thunder. Faced with Dai Li's arrangement, Mao Renfeng gladly accepted it and had eight children with him.
After marriage, Mao Renfeng took great care of Xiang Yingxin, and responded with a smile to other people's ridicule. Xiang Yingxin told Dai Li about this, and Dai Li was very satisfied with this and trusted Mao Renfeng even more.
* During the period, the woman Xiang Yingxin was not satisfied with being a good wife and mother, she maintained a lover relationship with Dai Li after marriage, and also secretly communicated with Zhou Weicheng, the Minister of Culture and Entertainment of the Military Control Bureau.
However, all this was discovered by Mrs. Zhou and came to the door. Mrs. Zhou scolded Xiang Yingxin, and at the same time accused Mao Renfeng of not managing his wife well, thinking that he was not worthy of being a man.
This incident caused a sensation in the Military Command Bureau, and although Mao Renfeng was insulted, he still swallowed his anger.
Dai Li and Mao Renfeng share a common belief - Feng Shui metaphysics. Dai Li's name is all watery, in the hope that everything will go smoothly and the official fortune will be prosperous. However, after the Anti-Japanese War, Dai Li, who was replaced with a new assistant, did not believe in Feng Shui.
As a result, in March 1946, when Dai Li was inspecting Beiping, his assistant gave him the pseudonym "Gao Chongyue" whose name had no water in it, and Dai Li's tragic death during the inspection was one of the reasons for this tragedy.
Mao Renfeng knew the disadvantages of this pseudonym, but he didn't tell Dai Li, and he didn't change it. After Dai Li's death, Mao Renfeng was even more convinced and continued to believe in Feng Shui metaphysics.
Mao Renfeng successfully overthrew Zheng Jiemin by unscrupulous means and sat in the position of director of the secret bureau. However, after his success, he did not forget those who had provoked him, including his wife Xiang Yingxin.
After 13 years of forbearance, he decided to liquidate them.
Mao Renfeng abused his power and used the hospital to falsify Xiang Yingxin's psychiatric diagnosis in an attempt to detain his wife in a psychiatric hospital forever. During his tenure as director of the Secrecy Bureau, the Kuomintang regime was declining, and Mao Renfeng played the role of executioner, brutally killing a large number of communists and political prisoners, including the murder of Yang Hucheng and his son, the Kunming ** case, the dregs of the cave and the assassination of Yang Hu.
Mao Renfeng held a key position in the Secret Bureau for ten years, and he commanded spies lurking on the mainland in an attempt to undermine our nascent regime. He had tried to plant a bomb on the *** train and also wanted to blow up the *** "Kashmir Princess".
However, after the failure of the assassination operation, it triggered strong condemnation from the international community, and also gave Chiang Kai-shek an opportunity to deprive Mao Renfeng of his real power. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek's dissatisfaction with Mao Renfeng has long existed, because he believes that Mao Renfeng's ability cannot be compared with Dai Li, and even publicly accuses Mao Renfeng of being "incompetent" many times.
After Mao Renfeng lost his real power, the door of his house became deserted. Several of his children were imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital because of their mother, Xiang Yingxin, and were full of resentment towards their father. The unwilling Mao Renfeng found a fortune teller to calculate a hexagram, and the result showed that "Fu Lu is exhausted, and his life is not long".
After returning home, Mao Renfeng's soul was not kept, his health deteriorated, and after a hospital examination, he was found to have advanced liver cancer. He was unwilling to wait for death like this, and looked for a miracle doctor everywhere, but he encountered **, not only did he not cure the disease, but also delayed ** time.
In the end, he died of hatred on October 14, 1956, at the age of 58. According to an old Chinese saying that "bad bamboo can't produce good bamboo shoots", Mao Renfeng and Xiang Yingxin, as military commanders and female spies, their children should inherit some bad habits.
However, the results were unexpected. In 1944, Mao Yunan, the eldest son of Mao Renfeng and Xiang Yingxin, was born in Chongqing. The couple valued the child very much and had high hopes.
Mao Renfeng graduated from Fudan University in his early years and was a top intellectual of that era and knew the importance of knowledge.
Mao Yunan performed well among the military commanders, although Mao Renfeng and Dai Li had low academic qualifications, but brothers like Chen Guofu, Chen Lifu and Xu Enzeng all received advanced studies from famous foreign universities.
Mao Renfeng hopes that his eldest son, Mao Yunan, will also go to the United States to study in order to inherit his career in the future. Mao Yunan is smart and studious, and can often associate one knowledge point with other knowledge points, which is deeply loved by teachers.
However, after studying in Mingli, Mao Yunan fell into contradictions.
Mao Yunan's childhood experiences deeply influenced his values. His parents, a notorious mother and a murderous father, left him with a deep resentment and uneasiness towards the family.
Especially after seeing his father turn his mother into a madman, he was even more determined to run away from his family. Mao Renfeng's dismissal and the downfall of his family made Mao Yunan see clearly the darkness of officialdom and the indifference of human feelings, and he decided to change his fate by studying hard.
In the United States, Mao Yunan felt very relaxed because he could live like an ordinary person, and no one knew that he was the son of Mao Renfeng. He earned a bachelor's degree in materials science from Cornell University, then studied business administration at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before choosing a communications career, which laid the foundation for his career in business.
In 1974, he went to Taiwan to set up an IT joint venture with his own company, which is now Taiwan's International Standard Electronics Company.
His success is not only due to his talent, but also because he sticks to his values and is brave enough to pursue his dreams.
Mao Yunan and Foxconn founder Terry Gou have maintained a friendship that has lasted for decades. Guo Taiming once invited Mao Yunan to join Foxconn, but he politely refused. Subsequently, Mao Yunan devoted himself to the communication industry and achieved outstanding results, becoming a leader in the industry.
In the 80s of the last century, with the tide of China's reform and opening up, Mao Yunan took advantage of the opportunity of the mainland's foreign investment and returned to the motherland after many years of absence.
