In contrast to the members of the Huo family, who also come from wealthy families, leisurely in the crowd and swaggering in the spacious restaurant, Li Ka-shing is closely guarded by a group of bodyguards.
Is the difference between the Huo family and the Li family due to the difference in acting styles, or the extreme inequality of wealth and status?
Fok Ying-tung is a national hero in the hearts of Hong Kong people, and his patriotism and affinity are admirable. Unlike those businessmen who only focus on profits, regardless of social responsibility and national interests, he always sticks to his family and country feelings.
As a business tycoon, Fok Ying-tung has received widespread praise and praise, which fully proves his noble qualities and well-loved style.
Fok Ying-tung started his business at an early age, and was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong, running a small shop and engaged in maritime transportation**, but his income was meager, and it was difficult to support the family.
When Fok Yingdong was seven years old, his father died of lymphatic cancer, making it even more difficult for an already poor family. As a result, Fok's mother had to take over his father's previous business to support the family.
Fok Ying-tung's father earnestly hoped that he could realize the family's dream by studying at school, and his mother saved money to raise funds to achieve this wish, and finally sent him to Queen's College in Hong Kong for further study.
Fok Ying-tung was studying in British Hong Kong when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, and by that time he had already spent 80 years under British colonial rule.
In order to alleviate his mother's financial burden, during the war, Fok Yingdong was forced to give up his studies and began to look for ways to make money. However, the Japanese blockade of the coast and the cutting off of Fok Yingdong's family funds** made his life even more difficult.
Despite this, Fok Yingdong persevered, showing his tenacity and perseverance.
At this time, Fok Yingdong knew that only when the country was strong could he achieve personal prosperity.
As a teenager, Fok Ying-tung began working several jobs, working as a charcoal burner on cruise ships and moving cement, which gave him a wealth of business experience.
After years of hard work, Fok Yingdong has amassed a huge fortune. With the evacuation of the Japanese, peace was restored to Hong Kong.
So, Fok Yingdong cooperated with others to start a seaweed salvage business.
This company is running smoothly and has achieved great success, earning a lot of profits.
With his extraordinary wisdom, Fok Yingdong inherited his father's maritime transportation business, and his business gradually flourished.
Although he was born in the British colony, he always harbored deep patriotic feelings and maintained hostile relations with Britain and its ally, the United States.
During the years of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the West imposed a complete blockade on China's sea, and many materials were stuck in the customs and could not be transported inland, resulting in a serious shortage of domestic materials.
However, Fok Ying-tung was not afraid of the threat of Britain and the United States and the pursuit of the British navy, and he insisted on the belief that the supplies would be sent back to China.
He launched a large-scale operation, including sending a fleet and reconnaissance teams to closely monitor the anti-smuggling boats of the Hong Kong authorities.
In order to break through the blockade of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, he changed the meeting place many times, went through a lot of hardships, and finally succeeded in sending abundant supplies into the country, making great contributions to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Fok Ying-tung has always adhered to patriotic feelings, and when China began reform and opening up, he actively responded to the call of the country and led a group of Hong Kong entrepreneurs to invest in the mainland and develop industries, and was the first batch of Hong Kong entrepreneurs to invest in the mainland.
Guangdong Province and Fok Yingdong reached a cooperation to jointly build China's first self-built large-scale commercial hotel - Guangzhou White Swan Hotel.
Fok Yingdong's outstanding contributions have also been praised many times by Chairman ***.
Fok Yingdong has always kept up with the pace of the first class, actively responded to the call, and made great contributions to the development of the inland economy, the smooth return of Hong Kong and the prosperity of the motherland's economy.
He is not afraid of the challenge of any hostile forces in China, always adheres to the principle of seeking the interests of the people, never selfishness, consistently performs his duties as an entrepreneur, and is an entrepreneur who truly thinks about the people.
Fok Yingdong's patriotic spirit infected everyone, and after his death, the Chinese people draped the five-star red flag to express their respect.
His patriotism not only influenced his own life, but also passed on to future generations, so that the family always maintained the quality of integrity and kindness.
Although his grandson, Fok Qigang, is only a civil servant in Hong Kong, he does not have the style of a gentleman at all, but is full of patriotic enthusiasm.
And his wife Guo Jingjing is also an Olympic champion who has made great contributions to the country.
Huo Qigang is different from many wealthy children who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, he relied on his own efforts to win a happy life with Guo Jingjing, which made many people envious.
Li Ka-shing and Fok Ying-tung have different business pursuits, so there is a gap in social evaluation.
Although Li Ka-shing has also achieved great success in the business world, he is more focused on personal interests and is far from Fok Yingdong's values.
Fok Ying-tung advocated industry to save the country, but Li Ka-shing chose to invest overseas and ignored the domestic economy.
This behavior not only caused him to be disrespected, but even had a negative impact on his own son.
Zhang Ziqiang, a habitual offender who was recently released from prison, planned a kidnapping and ransom case against Li Zeju, the eldest son of wealthy Hong Kong businessman Li Ka-shing.
For criminal purposes, Zhang Ziqiang not only gave Ah Qi more than 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a large number of firearms and other criminal tools, but also rented an extremely remote hut for illegal hostage-taking.
Although Ye Jihuan**, Zhang Ziqiang did not dispel the idea of committing a crime, but gathered more accomplices together"Origin"。
On May 23, Zhang Ziqiang and his accomplices followed Li Zeju when he was driving alone.
When Li Zeju drove to a remote road, the van driven by Zhang Ziqiang and his accomplices quickly surrounded Li Zeju's vehicle.
When Li Zeju was defenseless, Zhang Ziqiang and others smashed his car window with a hammer, and then forcibly dragged him out of the car and got up.
Zhang Ziqiang used Li Zeju's mobile phone to call Li Ka-shing, extorted 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and warned him not to call the police, otherwise his son's life would be in danger.
Zhang Ziqiang went to Li Ka-shing's house alone and demanded a ransom, during which Li Zeju was transferred to a nearby rental house.
Although Li Ka-shing is a rich man, he will inevitably feel a lot of pressure in the face of a huge sum of two billion.
So, he asked his old friends if he should call the police for help.
However, in the end, he decided not to call the police because of their lack of trust in the Hong Kong police at the time.
Li Ka-shing received Zhang Ziqiang**, claiming that he had "visited" the Li Mansion and took the police away.
* After hanging up, Li Ka-shing opened the door to greet Zhang Ziqiang, led him around the entire house, and confirmed that no police officers were present.
After negotiations, the parties decided to reduce the ransom to 1 billion. Li Ka-shing understands that Zhang Ziqiang has always been based on the principle of "asking for money and not life", so he can only obey his request.
In order to dispel Zhang Ziqiang's doubts, Li Ka-shing first gave his family 38 million in liquidity.
Li Ka-shing quickly took out 1 billion cash and handed it to Zhang Ziqiang in exchange for Li Zeju's hostage.
After getting the money, Li Ka-shing suggested that Zhang Ziqiang invest the money in the company under his name, which can earn good returns.
However, Zhang Ziqiang did not trust Li Ka-shing, believing that he was a cunning businessman who would not really help him.
Although the Huo family's wealth is now reduced compared to Li Ka-shing, in China and even in the world, the Huo family is still either rich or expensive.
Despite Li Ka-shing's achievements in the business field, he pays more attention to the contribution of the country and the nation.
For him, only businesses that can have a positive impact on the country and society will he consider investing, not just pursuing personal and family interests.
Whether it is for the family business or for the country, he has always adhered to this principle.
Fok Ying-tung is a great investor in China, and he has made huge investments in China's construction. His contribution was widely recognized, so after his death, at his funeral, he was covered with the national flag.
This makes the Huo family behave more calmly in public, they don't show off because of their family power, but prefer a low-key lifestyle.
Li Ka-shing was haunted by the kidnapping of his son, and has since acted more cautiously.
