Chapter 556 The richest man 2

"Senior Brother Zuo, is this... not serious? Who else are you afraid of in Hong Kong?" Seeing Zuo Jiajun's nervous look, Ye Tian felt a little incredible.
Although Zuo Jiajun is not one of the top tycoons who are as rich as the country, he has a wide network of contacts in Hong Kong. Even the Hong Kong governor would salute him when he saw him. Ye Tian can't think of anyone who would make him so afraid?
Zuo Jiajun shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that the family is too big, and if word spreads about it, people will be offended. It's better to have less trouble than more trouble."
The profession of a Feng Shui master is to help people seek good fortune and avoid evil. After many years of professional habits, Zuo Jiajun's first reaction was to cover up the matter when he thought of the identity of the descendant of the sarcophagus.
"Sure, let's talk about it when we go home." Hearing what Zuo Jiajun said, Ye Tian nodded, feeling a little more curious about the identity of the descendant of the sarcophagus.
After instructing the staff to guard the coffin containing Shi Shanliang's ashes, Zuo Jiajun led everyone back home.
"Ye Tian, ​​you...what's wrong with you? Are you so dirty?"
As soon as he stepped into the villa, he heard his mother's shout. Ye Tian couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face. He was already in his twenties and was about to get married, but in the eyes of his mother, he was still a child who had not grown up.
.
Three days ago, Song Weilan and Ye Dongping brought Anna to Hong Kong. They originally lived in a hotel, but Song Weilan missed her son, so she moved to Zuo Jiajun's home.
Fortunately, Zuo Jiajun lives alone. There are many empty rooms in the villa, so it won't be a big deal if three more people move in.
However, Ye Dongping was a little depressed. He had agreed to come for a trip, but he didn't expect that his wife would not go anywhere for the whole day and only had eyes for her son.
"Hey, it's okay, Dad, didn't you go out to play today?"
Seeing his mother's appearance, Ye Tian felt a little warmer in his heart. He had been like a wild child since he was a child and had never been cared for by anyone. Although he is not used to it now, Ye Tian really felt that kind of feeling.
maternal love.
"I do want to go out."
Ye Dongping's voice was full of sorrow, but after being rolled over by his wife, he immediately said: "There is nothing interesting in Hong Kong. It's very comfortable to live here. It doesn't matter whether you go out or not!"
"Okay, then you two can live there. When my villa over there is renovated, we can move there."
Seeing that Zhou Xiaotian had already moved the stone tablet from the car, Ye Tian said to his mother, "I have something else to do and I will come over to accompany you later."
"What's going on? Can't we listen?" Originally, Song Weilan wasn't that gossipy, but she was curious about what her son was busy with all day, so she decided to listen.
Ye Tian said nonchalantly: "It's okay. I came across a tomb during construction in the past few days and encountered something interesting. If you two want to hear it, come in together."
After taking his parents into the villa, Zuo Jiajun had already made Kung Fu tea and was waiting for Ye Tian.
Ye Tian didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point: "Second Senior Brother, don't be too pretentious. Who is the descendant of Shi Shanliang's daughter? Can you tell me now?"
In the minds of people of Ye Tian's age group, the richest man in Hong Kong is nothing more than the deceased chartering king, or the currently popular Li Chaoren.
However, both of them came to Hong Kong only a few decades ago. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have anything to do with the stonemason who lived more than a hundred years ago?
Zuo Jiajun poured a cup of Kung Fu tea for Ye Tian and Ye Dongping respectively, and said: "Junior brother, there is a He family in Hong Kong, have you ever heard of it?"
"The He family? No, I've never heard of it!" Ye Tian shook his head. Most of what he knew about Hong Kong's wealthy people was from Tang Wenyuan, but there was no surname named He.
Ye Tian had never heard of this name, but Gou Xinjia's expression changed and he asked: "Junior Brother Zuo, you... are you talking about Sir He Donghe?"
"Yes, it is Sir He Donghe, senior brother, Sir He's mother, whose surname is Shi..."
Zuo Jiajun nodded and revealed the answer to the mystery. If he had not deduced numerology for a branch of the He family more than ten years ago, he would not have known the surname of their grandmother.
So after reading the story recorded on the stone tablet, Zuo Jiajun immediately thought of the He family. Although there are many wealthy people in Hong Kong, only the He family can be called an extremely noble person.
"I have also heard about Sir He Dong..."
Although Song Weilan didn't know what they were talking about, when she heard He Dong's name, she raised her eyebrows and said, "One of the casinos I invested in in Las Vegas has shares in the Macau He family, but Ye Tian
, what is your relationship with the He family?"
"I...I have nothing to do with the He family!"
Ye Tian found that except for his master and apprentice and his father, everyone in this room seemed to know He Dong. Even Liu Dingding looked thoughtful and couldn't help but said anxiously: "I said you all should not show off."
Ah? Who is this Sir Hedong?"
Just as Zuo Jiajun was about to speak, Gou Xinjia waved his hand and said, "Let me tell you, Sir He Dong and I have some interactions. He Dong was born in 1860 and is a mixed race of European and Asian races..."
Gou Xinjia's mind seemed to be buried in memories, and Gou Xinjia's voice was a little erratic: "During the Anti-Japanese War, I went to Hong Kong several times and had many interactions with Sir He Dong, but I really didn't know that his mother's surname was Shi..."
As witnesses of history, the Gou Xin family has experienced many major events in modern times, and they hide many unknown secrets in their hearts.
His narration is like taking people traveling in the long river of history. The feeling is very wonderful, and the character He Dong also becomes lifelike in his mouth.
He Dong's father, named He Wen, was a Dutchman. After the opening of Hong Kong in 1842, it attracted a group of European businessmen and adventurers looking for business opportunities to Hong Kong. He Wen, who arrived in Hong Kong in 1859, was one of them.
He Wen lived in Hong Kong for a total of fifteen years, and then sold his property in Hong Kong and went to England.
However, He Wen probably did not expect that the son he gave birth to in the past fifteen years would later become the richest man in Hong Kong and a world-class super rich man.
This person... is He Dong, who is also He Wen's eldest son.
After He Dongchengren, his father had left Hong Kong. It can be said that He Dong created his business empire entirely by relying on his own ability.
In the early days, He Dong was just the head clerk of a foreign company. Due to his shrewd mind, he soon started his own business. In 1906, he became the first Chinese to live on the top of Victoria Peak.
There used to be a proverb in Hong Kong that describes a person who is not overly confident and will say, "Do you think you are Jack Tung?" This sentence is enough to prove that Jack Tung is the richest man in Hong Kong, and his wealth is enough to rival the country.
He Tung himself had three sons and seven daughters, plus his brother had thirteen children. The entire He family's status in Hong Kong in the early years was untouchable, and the He family also produced many famous figures.
For example, the world-famous kung fu star Bruce Lee, his mother is the niece of Sir He Tung. As the saying goes, the poor in literature and rich in martial arts, Bruce Lee's ability to concentrate on martial arts since childhood is inseparable from his good family background.
At that time, the He family had a huge influence on almost every class of Hong Kong society, and the He family's wealth spread throughout Hong Kong Island.
However, during the Japanese invasion of China, the He family went downhill. Sir He Dong fled to Macau. It was at that time that Gou Xin's family traveled between Hong Kong and Macau, met He Dong, and learned from him.
A lot of anti-war supplies.
However, after He Tung left Hong Kong, the family assets inevitably shrank significantly. After Japan's defeat and surrender, He Tung returned to Hong Kong and continued to take charge of the huge business.
But He Dong was already an old man in his eighties or nineties at that time, and his energy was not as good as before. Some younger businessmen rose rapidly. By the time He Dong passed away, the He family was no longer the same as before.
In addition, after He Dong passed away, the entire He family fell apart and their assets were cut into pieces, so the He family gradually declined.
Although the younger generations of the He family still have huge wealth in their hands, none of them can reproduce the glory of Sir He Dong.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the title of the richest man in Hong Kong was occupied by the charter king, Li Chaoren and other new wealthy people. This was the main reason why Ye Tian had never heard of the He family.
However, although the He family declined in Hong Kong, in Macau, one of the richest men in Macau emerged, and that is the current Macau gambling king, Ho Hung.
The reason why Zuo Jiajun was afraid of the He family and was unwilling to talk about Shi Shanliang's identity in front of others was actually because of the Macau gambling king.
You must know that He Hong has developed the gambling industry in Macau for decades and has a very deep foundation. His words in Macau are no less than the imperial edicts of ancient emperors, and their influence is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Although Zuo Jiajun is also famous, he does not dare to compare with him. If He Hong learns that his ancestor's grave has been dug up, it will be another troublesome thing.
After listening to Gou Xinjia's story and some additions from Zuo Jiajun, Ye Tian sighed: "The richest man in two places is from the same family. The He family's background is really profound!"
According to Zuo Jiajun, despite the current decline of the He family, some of the shares held by the descendants of the He family are worth at least tens of billions of dollars. They are all Hong Kong's invisible super rich.
"When the He Tung family went into decline, it was during the period when the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong, and those corpses were buried during that time. As a result, the He family's feng shui also changed."
Ye Tian calculated the time in his mind and said: "The rise of the He family is probably due to the ancestor Li Yuanzi. Although He Hong is powerful, after the feng shui of his ancestors was broken, he had no choice but to move to Macau!
"
