In early 2006, a Hong Kong Feng Shui master was invited to the cemetery of Li Ka-shing’s deceased wife. After looking up and down, the Feng Shui master said to Li Ka-shing: "It is okay to move the grave, but it will cost 2 million!"
Although Li Ka-shing was already a wealthy man at that time, it would cost 2 million to move the grave of his deceased wife just to circulate. This number was also a bit incredible in 2006.
Uninformed people think that Feng Shui master Leo speaks loudly and thinks that if Li Ka-shing has money, he can make a good fortune.
As a self-made businessman, Li Ka-shing naturally would not do a loss-making business, but he felt that spending this money was worth it.
The Feng Shui master's sentence "Your deceased wife died miserably" undoubtedly hit Li Ka-shing's pain point, so he took out two million without any complaints. After the matter was completed, he was extremely grateful to this Feng Shui master.
, "Feng Shui" is a illusory thing in the eyes of the public, and even has the backward color of feudal ignorance.
What kind of charm does this Feng Shui master have that can make Li Ka-shing surrender?
What happened between Li Ka-shing and his deceased wife, so that the Feng Shui master concluded that his deceased wife was not peaceful?
01
This Feng Shui master is called Cai Boli . Inland may know very little about him, but in Hong Kong he is a well-known figure.
Cai Boli is a top feng shui expert in Hong Kong. Basically, he believes in whatever he says.
But this expert is not the kind of scammer who cheats, and his inferences are based on facts.
As a calendar expert, this family craft has been passed down to him for three generations.
Cai Boli, who was just in his early twenties, took over the Guangdong Zhenbutang, which has a history of 100 years from his father.
Guangdong Zhenbutang has been developed to this day and has been taken over by Cai Boli's daughter.
Cai Boli, who has a connection with traditional calendar culture, edited by him, "Zhenbutang Tongsheng" was included in the provincial intangible cultural heritage list in 2013.
Cai Boli himself also won the title of Foshan City honorary citizen for his contribution to society, and also the "Golden Bauhinia Medal" issued by Hong Kong government .
So Cai Boli is really not a liar. With his ancestral astronomical calendar , he has a close relationship with many dignitaries and celebrities.
But Cai Boli, who borrowed Zhenbutang from his father at the age of 22, never thought that he would inherit his family business and become a professional Feng Shui master.
The young and frivolous Cai Boli also felt that his astronomical calendar was a bit "scam" and was not considered a serious profession.
. Cai Boli actually had no choice but to embark on the path of Feng Shui master.
Cai Boli was born in Shunde, Guangdong in 1922. His family is quite wealthy. His grandfather once worked in the imperial court.
Imperial Heaven Supervision is an official position in the ancient my country National Observatory, responsible for observing astronomical phenomena and promulgating calendars.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, my grandfather naturally lost his iron job and returned to his hometown to help people check their appearances and do fortune-telling.
After all, I have been in the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau. Cai Boli's grandfather is very talented and knowledgeable. He is a well-known calendar expert in the local area.
Some high-ranking officials and nobles also came here to ask their grandfather to cemetery, and the Zhenbu Hall gradually established.
Grandfather also passed on all his knowledge to Cai Boli's father, and his father also continued to carry forward the astronomical calendar as a profession that can make a living.
However, when it was passed to Cai Boli, Cai Boli, who was born in the turbulent situation, was determined to save the country through industry.
China was indeed at a critical moment of life and death at that time. Cai Boli, who had a passion in his heart, naturally did not want to accept irrelevant things like the astronomical calendar.
is learning some new knowledge and new technologies from the West, and Cai Boli is determined to become an industrialist.
Cai Boli, who has strong learning ability, might have been a well-known industrialist now if it weren't for the current situation.
As Anti-Japanese War kicked off, there was smoke of gunpowder everywhere in China, and Cai Boli could not fulfill his ambitions.
But at least his family is still well off. Even in the years of war, he can still eat a full meal and avoid the pain of displaced.
While following his father to escape the war, Cai Boli couldn't help but have to come into contact with his astronomical and calendar knowledge.
I often hear my father mention it, and Cai Boli, who is influenced by the eyes, gradually changed his views on calendar calculations.
Although he couldn't understand what his father said about Zi Chou Yin Mao, Cai Boli believed that his father was not talking big and cheating as he imagined.
Cai Boli, who cannot go out at will, has the most books left by his grandfather about the astronomical calendar.
Cai Boli, who had nothing to do to read these books, found that his grandfather actually had scientific basis for some records of solar eclipses and lunar eclipses and astronomical phenomena.
, who was aroused by curiosity, Cai Bolinian began to slowly ask his father about calendar calculations. After gradually becoming familiar with the knowledge of calendar, Cai Boli believed that the Feng Shui and calendar left by his ancestors did have value.
Gradually discovers that Cai Boli, who has a deep knowledge of his family, is becoming more and more enthusiastic about the astronomical calendar.
Plus, he was also very flexible in his teenager and mastered all the knowledge he taught his father within a few years.
The father planned to hand over his mantle to his son, and the 22-year-old Cai Boli became the third generation successor of Zhenbutang.
In Cai Boli's eyes, some things such as fortune-telling, divination, and grave-seeing are already a piece of cake.
After the War of Resistance Against Japan ended and the domestic situation gradually stabilized, Cai Boli planned to leave his hometown Shunde and settle in Hong Kong. Cai Boli also has his reason for making such a choice. In the 1950s, everyone still praised some Feng Shui theory.
plus the trade exchanges between the coastal areas and Hong Kong were very close at that time, with many businessmen.
Businessmen naturally want to worship the God of Wealth, begging the God of Wealth to bless their business smoothly. Cai Boli, who became famous, undoubtedly became a hot commodity.
As Hong Kong's economy and trade become more and more prosperous, the number of merchants coming here is increasing day by day, and Cai Boli has no worries about not having business to come.
Cai Boli, who is becoming increasingly famous, has even become a Feng Shui master specially hired by some rich people. Among the celebrities who regard Cai Boli as a guest of honor, Li Ka-shing is included.
Before Cai Boli helped his deceased wife to move her grave in early 2006, in fact, Cai Boli accomplished a big thing for Li Ka-shing as early as 1990.
It is precisely because of this that Li Ka-shing trusts Cai Boli so much and regards the words of Cai Boli as the standard.
02
Li Ka-shing, who started investing in real estate in the 1950s, purchased a piece of vacant land in Hong Kong in 1990, intending to build the Cheung Kong Group's own commercial building here.
In order to keep his group headquarters in line with the international level, Li Ka-shing also invited the famous architectural designer Xisa to help with the staff.
As a genuine Westerner, Xisa never believes in Feng Shui. His design works are entirely based on their inspiration and are not restricted by the direction and shape in Feng Shui.
So when he saw that Li Ka-shing also invited a top Feng Shui master to give advice, Xisa felt that this Feng Shui master had imprisoned his design ideas and put forward many restrictions on his design plans.
The height and style of the building must be designed according to Cai Boli's requirements, and Xisa's original design drawings have been changed again and again.
Cai Boli, who is already famous, has helped many wealthy people to see the land and calculate Feng Shui. This mission is still a piece of cake for him.
After a detailed inspection around the building, Cai Boli found that this place is indeed good, but there is something special.
There are two other buildings next to this land. They are of great origin and are the headquarters buildings of the two banks.
One of the buildings is HSBC Building , and the other is Bank of China Building . The headquarters building of the Yangtze River Group must not be incomparable to these two buildings.
Cai Boli also mentioned that the shape of the Bank of China Building looks like a short sword. If you don’t plan the design plan of the headquarters building of the Yangtze River Group, it will inevitably affect Li Ka-shing’s future wealth.
So, Cai Boli said to Li Ka-shing: "The headquarters building must be taller than HSBC Building, but it cannot exceed the Bank of China Building. The number of floors is most suitable to be set on 62 floors!"
"And in order not to deal with the shape of the short sword of the Bank of China Building, the headquarters building cannot be designed into some trendy shapes. It must be square and square shield shapes that can be prevented from attacking!"
So after the completion of the headquarters building of the Yangtze River Group, the public felt that the shape of this building was a bit old-fashioned, and compared with other buildings with different shapes next to it, it lacked a lot of spiritual energy.
In Hong Kong, the fashion capital of Hong Kong, this design sounds better and is solemn, but more people feel it is a bit old-fashioned.
The height of the 62-layer proposed by Cai Boli actually has ancient books to base: "I would rather let Qinglong be a thousand feet tall than White Tiger look up." The corresponding left and right sides of the Qinglong and White Tiger in Feng Shui.
and 62 is very good. In the Eight Trigrams, it is located in the Tai Gua of the Book of Changes, which has the meaning of peace and smoothness, and is very lucky.
is between the height of HSBC Building and the Bank of China Building. It has a height of 62 floors and is a square shield with armor-like appearance. This is the design idea of the headquarters building of the Yangtze River Group today.
Far from a distance, the headquarters building of the Yangtze River Group, the Bank of China Building and the HSBC Building are on a diagonal line, and the Yangtze River Group is just at the center of the diagonal line.
In addition, many decorations inside the Yangtze River Group building are also full of auspicious signs of Feng Shui and cannot be changed at will.
helped Li Ka-shing design his headquarters building. After the incident, Cai Boli's name became more and more famous.
This building was completed in 1999. At this time, Li Ka-shing ushered in another peak of his life. Li Ka-shing, who was very energetic when he was happy, regarded Cai Boli as one of his "noble people". After
, Li Ka-shing and Cai Boli’s personal relationship became closer and closer. Li Ka-shing, who trusted Cai Boli, was very convinced and obeyed the words of this calendar expert.
So even in early 2006, Cai Boli offered a sky-high reward of 2 million yuan to help Li Ka-shing's deceased wife Zhuang Yueming move the grave, and Li Ka-shing couldn't say the word "no".
What's more, Cai Boli said to Li Ka-shing: "Your deceased wife is gone miserably!" This made Li Ka-shing feel even more ashamed of her deceased wife and feel uneasy.
What other stories happened between Li Ka-shing and Zhuang Yueming? Why was Li Ka-shing willing to spend two million to move his grave?
03
Li Ka-shing was actually from a poor family in his early years and had always lived a life of living under others. For Li Ka-shing, his wife Zhuang Yueming is the "noble man" in his life.
In June 1939, Li Ka-shing, born in Chaozhou, Guangdong, came to Hong Kong with his father and defected to his uncle Zhuang Jing'an .
After his father died of illness, in order to support his younger brother and sister, teenage Li Ka-shing had to drop out of school and come to his uncle's watch company and become a primary school apprentice.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Ka-shing went on his way and became a qualified clerk in a watch shop.
However, at this time the situation in China had stabilized, and the ambitious Li Ka-shing was no longer willing to continue to live a life with his uncle's wink, so he started working as a salesman in a hardware factory.
1947, due to outstanding personal performance, Li Ka-shing, who was only 20 years old, was promoted to the general manager of Plastic Flower Factory.
After having a certain amount of savings, Li Ka-shing began to plan to start his own business. In 1950, he used the 7,000 US dollars he saved to found the Yangtze River Plastic Factory.
factory is named " Yangtze River ", which means never-ending and long-term.
However, Li Ka-shing, who is only in his early twenties, has no experience in running a factory, and some quality accidents occurred in the first period.
These sudden accidents greatly affected the business of the plastic factory. Just when Li Ka-shing was unsustainable, his cousin Zhuang Yueming stepped forward and took out his savings to help Li Ka-shing overcome the difficulties.
Then, Li Ka-shing's plastic factory business began to flourish. Li Ka-shing, who saw the business opportunities, gained his brand awareness with the high-quality and low-priced sales model.
By the end of 1957, the original small factory also became Changjiang Industrial Co., Ltd.
During the most difficult period when Li Ka-shing started his business, Zhuang Yueming had been by his side to accompany Li Ka-shing through the difficulties without any complaints.
The two of them also tied the knot in 1963 and became a formal couple.
At first, Zhuang Yueming's father Zhuang Jing'an strongly opposed this marriage. He felt that Li Ka-shing was just a poor boy from the countryside and was not worthy of his dignified and virtuous daughter from a famous family.
Brandmaker has a great say in the Hong Kong watch industry. Zhuang Jing'an is the number one watch businessman in Hong Kong and founded Zhongnan Watch Co., Ltd.
Zhuang Yueming received aristocratic education since childhood, knows the language of many countries, and her father loves her as precious as her.
Zhuang Yueming did not dislike the poor and loved the rich as a poor relative. When he saw Li Ka-shing at first sight, he felt that this person was very friendly.
Zhuang Yueming helped Li Ka-shing become familiar with the customs and customs of Hong Kong, and also taught him to speak Hong Kong dialect , even in English.
, a childhood sweetheart, gradually emerged, and the two of them had a good impression of each other. But they all knew that Zhuang Jing'an was not happy with them being together.
Later, Li Ka-shing broke away from his uncle Zhuang Jing'an and successfully started his own business, which changed Zhuang Jing'an's view of Li Ka-shing.
By 1963, Li Ka-shing was 35 years old and had been waiting for Li Ka-shing. Zhuang Yueming, who was not married to Li Ka-shing, was 31 years old.
At that time, Zhuang Yueming also obtained a bachelor's degree in from the University of Hong Kong two years ago, and was a talented woman.
The two's persistence in love and the success of Li Ka-shing's career finally made Zhuang Jing'an change his mind and agree to the marriage.
Successful and fame Li Ka-shing finally got the beauty back and successfully married Zhuang Yueming and had children.
In order to make his beloved wife live comfortably, and also to make his father-in-law understand that he can make Zhuang Yueming live a good life, Li Ka-shing spent HK$630,000 to buy a garden villa for Zhuang Yueming in 1963.
It is not easy for Li Ka-shing to take out HK$630,000 at once. After getting married, Zhuang Yueming has always played the role of a good wife and joined Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd. Zhuang Yueming, who can speak English and Japanese , greatly helped Li Ka-shing in his career. The employees of Changjiang Company were convinced when talking about Zhuang Yueming.
In November 1966, after the birth of the second son Li Zekai , Zhuang Yueming began to shift his focus to the family.
Zhuang Yueming, who is at home, is still the executive director of the company and can participate in decision-making on some large-scale affairs.
However, Zhuang Yueming, who had already retreated behind the scenes, was the main task for her to take care of her husband and children, so she basically did not show up, and Li Ka-shing rarely mentioned her in front of outsiders.
Zhuang Yueming's life afterwards is very low-key and does not accept interviews from any reporters. But such a childhood sweetheart couple did not have a good ending.
04
On December 31, 1989, after Zhuang Yueming accompanied Li Ka-shing to attend the New Year's party at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Hong Kong, the next afternoon, her family found Zhuang Yueming had a heart attack and died.
There has always been controversial about Zhuang Yueming's death. Many people think that Zhuang Yueming, who is only 58 years old, is the cause of death because of the overdose of the drug he took.
As for why Zhuang Yueming took overdose drugs, the biggest reason may be that Zhuang Yueming's mental state was already very unhappy at that time.
60-year-old Li Ka-shing is very tough, and he is a famous big man. He has never lacked all kinds of beauties around him.
Although Li Ka-shing has never had any scandals, over time, these still have invisible pressure on Zhuang Yueming, who is already old.
The Li family strongly opposed this statement, claiming that Zhuang Yueming died of a heart disease, but the outside world's controversy over Zhuang Yueming's death did not stop.
After Zhuang Yueming's death, Li Ka-shing had no idea of re-renewing. He built a cemetery in Lianchenjiao for his beloved wife.
On January 30, 2006, four tomb robbers came to Zhuang Yueming's cemetery. They believed that the rich man Li Ka-shing must have buried a lot of gold, silver and jewelry for his beloved wife Zhuang Yueming.
Although these four tomb robbers did not succeed, the originally solemn and dignified cemetery was ruined in a mess.
At this time, Li Ka-shing called Feng Shui expert Cai Boli and asked him to help move Zhuang Yueming's grave.
Cai Boli offered a sky-high price of 2 million at this time, because Zhuang Yueming died miserably and was not at ease.
Li Ka-shing no longer cared about this mere 2 million at that time. He was ashamed of Zhuang Yueming, and he didn't want to cause trouble. He just wanted his wife to rest in peace.
Although there are still many different opinions on the cause of Zhuang Yueming's death in the outside world, Li Ka-shing has been alone over the years and has almost no romantic news, which is enough to prove that he has a deep relationship with Zhuang Yueming.
After Cai Boli got this money, he did not use it for personal consumption, but for charity.
In 2007, Cai Boli founded the Shunlong Zeren Foundation, which sponsored many poor families.
After helping Zhuang Yueming move his grave, Cai Boli, who had almost retired in October 2006, also chose a Feng Shui treasure land for Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Huo Yingdong .
For Ho Ying-dong, who can be buried with the state funeral ceremony, Cai Boli took his eldest daughter Cai Xinghua to conduct on-site inspection and finally selected his cemetery in a Buddhist cemetery. After
, Zhenbutang was handed over to Cai Xinghua, and Cai Boli began his retirement life and compiled books related to astronomical calendars.
Cai Boli, who is enthusiastic about charity, also received the Golden Bauhinia Medal. His book "Zhenbutang Tongsheng" has been included in the intangible cultural heritage list.
In July 2018, this calendar expert completed the entire journey of his life at the age of 95.
Although many people still believe that Feng Shui is a strange power and chaos, in Mr. Cai Boli, we see a vivid and unique Feng Shui master.
While inheriting traditional culture, Mr. Cai also actively devoted himself to public welfare and assumed social responsibility. Such a Feng Shui master deserves our respect!
