On May 26, 2020, a generation of "legendary gambling kings" Stanley Ho , at the age of 98, died helplessly in the struggle between his wife of Sanfang and his 17 children.
This time he took away the most glorious era of gambling, but left more than 500 billion family properties.
It is also ironic to say that Stanley Ho, known as the " gambling king ", has never entered his own casino to gamble once, just because he deeply understands the principle of "ten gambles and nine loses".
However, those gamblers who drew red eyes and spent a lot of money amidst the cheers of the "junction yards" inhaling pure oxygen in the magnificent room have never cared about this ironic fact.
The Sri Lankan has passed away, but the storm still exists.
In just these two days, Ma Tsai, the fourth wife of the gambling king, nicknamed " 洗米华 " Zhou Zhuohua , had an accident!
Lisboa
In 1961, the then Macao and Portugal ZhengFu began to implement a franchise system for the prosperous but chaotic gaming industry. In other words, to operate a casino, you must have a license issued by ZF. Otherwise, you will be investigated.
To understand this behavior, you can refer to the governance of the online lending industry in previous years. If you want to share a piece of cake, you must have an online financial license.
The implementation of the franchise system has prevented a large number of irregular small players from continuing to participate in the profiteering industry, leaving only a few super powerful giants to facilitate market regulation and management. Of course, the price of obtaining a license is also expensive.
Stanley Ho, who just turned 40 at that time,Seeing this opportunity, I returned to Macau.
contacted the most prestigious "Huo Jia" as a helping hand, grabbing the gambling business license from the first-generation gambling king Fu Laorong , and won the exclusive franchise of Macau casinos in one fell swoop.
Not long after, Stanley Ho's first Macau casino "New Garden" opened successfully.
Since then, the reputation of the "king of gambling" has spread, and Macau's gaming industry has also truly prospered, moving towards formalization and industrialization.
"Junji"
Twelve years later, Zhou Zhuohua was born. As a native of Macau, it can be said that he grew up listening to the "story of the king of gambling".
However, he has neither the prominent background of Ho Hongshen when he was young, nor the handsome beauty that could eat soft food when he was young, nor the deep financial resources and connections of a middle-aged gambling king.
Born in grassroots, he hasn't even studied for a few years, so he can only rely on himself.
In 1988, with the rapid development of the gaming industry, gamblers from all over the world continued to flood in. Stanley Ho started the stacking business in Macau's gaming industry, which is equivalent to opening up the casino sales business.
finds and introduces customers for various gambling venues, and then draws commissions from gamblers' gambling funds. Similar to wine trays and momsang, Macau has also given birth to a large-scale "junction cradle" group.
has neither education nor background. Zhou Zhuohua, who first entered the society, was one of them.
Relying on his agility and ability to figure out the psychology of guests, coupled with his own diligence and hard work, Zhou Zhuohua soon became in the business of "Jun Miao" and became well-known.
Because when he solicits loans, he always smiles. In this way, his eyes are smaller and his nose is bigger. Similar to Liang Sihao in the hit drama " city story " at that time,Therefore, he was also nicknamed "Xi Mi Hua" by the people in the play.
" rupture tooth horse "
At that time, behind many prosperous and profitable industries in Hong Kong and Macao, there were more or less involved black forces, especially the gaming industry.
The most famous in Macau is undoubtedly the broken tooth horse known as the "father of the underworld" and " 14K brother".
The history of this old man's fortune can be called the workplace textbook of "Young and Dangerous".
In 1955, he was born in a poor family, his original name was Yin Guoju .
When he was 10 years old, he had already entered the society, pouring tea and water in the teahouse, doing the work of the starting hall.
Later, a bunch of brothers were gathered together, and they started to be scalpers, robbing people on the street for territory.
Later, by chance, he met the 14K boss Hei Zihua, and since then he has turned into a professional young and Dangerous boy.
Why is his nickname called "Beng Yaju"?
At the age of 16, Yin Guoju, who became the eldest brother, bought a motorcycle and carried a pretty girl to engage in "speed and passion" most of the night. As a result, the car accidentally overturned, and one of the front teeth was reimbursed, hence the name.
When the gambling king opened the business of stacking and counting, "Bengyaju" was 33 years old and had considerable influence and foundation in the local area.
Faced with such a lucrative business, he is naturally reluctant to get involved with others.
After a bloody storm, he won most of the stacking rights. By the mid-1990s, he had already held Macau's largest "Junker" group, relying on the high turnover, and easily earned 2 million yuan a day. .
Later, he also ran casinos and put high profits on dais, but the most profitable thing was the "junket operators".
at the most glorious time,"Bengyaju"'s subordinates claim to have 100,000 people, and they are powerful. He even invested in a movie based on his own story, which is "The Wind and Clouds of the River" starring and Ren Dahua .
"Ximihua", who performed well in the stacking business, was quickly noticed by "Bengyaju", and wanted to receive this outstanding young man under his command.
The "Ximihua", who is already smart and very good at life, knew that from soliciting a little income, there is no hope in this life if he wants to be successful.
Seeing a powerful elder brother waved to himself, he became the younger brother of "Bengyaju".
He has been with him for many years, and has gradually become a capable man of his men. Together with the military commander Shi Yongxiang, "Mengguitian" Ye Jintian and Shi Qidu, he is known as the "Four Guardians".
Until the century intersects, Macau huigui is coming soon.
I am deeply aware of my sinful "Beng Yaju", and I am afraid that I will follow in the footsteps of the "Generation King of Thieves" Zhang Ziqiang .
It is said that under the guidance of a big boss, he was quickly arrested and imprisoned after he committed something on his own initiative, and sentenced to 13 years and 10 months.
After this show operation, although years of hard work was in vain, it could be regarded as a little life saved.
But after he goes to prison, what should he do with his little brother and such a big industry?
Big Brother for Big Sister
At this time, Xi Mihua, who was born in Junket Boys, once again displayed his "good at life". Not only did he not start his stove because his eldest brother was in jail, but instead often went to prison to see "Beng Ya". Horse".
As soon as I go, I will tell my eldest brother about my love and meaning, my grand vision and great cause, and after a long period of time, I am struggling with time under the bars. I also admire my own horse.
once,When Xi Mihua hinted to him that he was short on money and needed funds to start the business blueprint, Beng Yaju didn't think about it and asked someone to invest 30 million Hong Kong dollars in him.
even introduced the resources behind him, the fourth wife of the gambling king and Liang Anqi to him.
Since then, the business of "washing rice flower" has officially taken off, and soon took over most of the industry of "Bengyaju". With the support of the fourth concubine, it has further monopolized the entire "stack". "Mazai" business.
established the Suncity Group in 2007, and its business scope includes gambling, hotel, entertainment, movies, catering, etc. Since then, it has been advancing all the way and its business has been booming. It has become a new generation of casino tycoons in Macau, and even has "Little Gambling Kings". "The reputation.
However, in 2014, "Beng Yaju" was released after serving his sentence. Among the people who had been exposed to the dust, there was no such thing as "Ximi Hua" who had been affectionate at the time.
In 2016, he congratulated his mother on his 80th birthday, and in 2018, when he opened the gaming room of the Guoying VIP Club, he invited Ximihua, but Ximihua still found an excuse and did not appear on the scene.
In order to prepare for the opening of the casino, "Bengyaju", who lacked funds, found "Ximihua" and wanted to ask him for 10% of the shares of "Sun Group". However, "Ximihua" refused on the grounds that the group was not its own, and only gave 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which was regarded as repaying the kindness of the year.
After all, everyone knows the things people take to cool tea, plus the current "washed rice flower" is no longer what it used to be. As the head of the group, he has billions in wealth and has a huge industry. Surrounded by beauties and celebrities, he looks like an upper-class figure.
How could it be that Jungang boy who slapped people on the shoulder on the street and asked passers-by "Do you want to help?"
However, Cheng Ye Xiao He ,Xiao He is defeated!
Last year, the gambling king passed away. The battle for the family property of the three-bedroom wife and 17 children has also entered a fierce stage.
Outside the funeral, "Ximihua", "Bengyaju" and other people from the rivers and lakes want to go inside to mourn the old gambling king, but "big sister" He Chaoqiong's sentence: "The idlers are not allowed to enter", it is doomed Their ending.
In addition, the gaming license will expire in 2022, although the surface is very glamorous, but as a horse under Sitai Liang Anqi, a chess piece in his hand, it is naturally difficult to "wash rice flower" Fleeing this giant's fight has been reduced to cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Sure enough, the rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are human beings.
There is no legend for people from grass roots. It is the people behind them who make the legend.
