In 2018, He Jiong guest Aya hosted the show "The Big Brands Are Coming". Aya asked him, "If you want to borrow money from others, who would you borrow it from first?"
He Jiong replied, "I don't borrow money from others."
When He Jiong said this At the time, no one doubted, because as one of China's top hosts, no one doubted his ability to create wealth.
But no one thought that He Jiong would become the son of Lao Lai two years later.
On April 13, 2021, it was revealed that He Jiong's father, He Wei, was Lao Lai. According to public information, He Wei was enforced by the court for failing to perform his legal obligations on time, and the target of execution was 439,700 yuan.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion. Everyone couldn't believe that as He Jiong's father, He Wei couldn't get 439,700 yuan.
Does He Wei really have no money? What is he like?
Today we will have a good chat about He Wei's story.
01
He Wei was born in Linxiang, Hunan in 1942. Because he likes philosophy, when he grew up, he entered the Philosophy Institute of Hunan Academy of Social Sciences and became a researcher.
Although his income was average at that time, it did not affect his marriage and children.
What makes him particularly happy is that he has two sons, the eldest is named He Hao and the youngest is named He Jiong.
In He Jiong's childhood memories,Although his father was very busy with his work, he disciplined him and his brother very strictly. Sometimes his father would spank them when he was angry.
But at the same time, in the eyes of young He Jiong, his father is "Superman".
He Wei made all the clothes He Jiong wore when he was a child, and even the schoolbag He Jiong carried in school was made by He Wei. And He Wei is also very good at cooking, frying and frying. As for things like repairing radios, bicycles, pressure cookers, and furniture, He Wei is even better at it.
For such a father, He Jiong commented on his father as a very kind and upright person in his first book "Jong Jiong Has a God - This Is How I Grow Up" published in 1998. He also said that his father never had the slightest bit of bad intentions, and he worked so diligently and honestly.
However, he is such an "honest person", who was riddled with negative news after He Jiong grew up.
02
He Wei's negative news is inseparable from the development of He Jiong's career.
In 1992, He Jiong was recommended to study at Beijing Foreign Studies University, where he studied Arabic. In his sophomore year, he wrote a sketch called "Infiltration" and got the opportunity to perform "Infiltration" with his classmates on CCTV.
Because the sketches were well written and performed well, He Jiong was favored by CCTV, and he began to write sketches for the popular variety show " Variety Show ".
Also discovered He Jiong's talent was Liu Chunyan , who hosted "Big Windmill", he pulled He Jiong into the "Smart House" column in "Big Windmill".
On the first day of working in "Smart House", Liu Chunyan said to He Jiong: "You write all the scripts, and I will say whatever you write. I believe in you."
At that time, In the program, Liu Chunyan's name is "Little Feet",He Jiong's name is "Big Thumb".
In 1997, "Big Windmill" was revised, He Jiong changed his name to "Caterpillar", and Liu Chunyan changed his name to "Scarab".
It was also in this year that He Jiong graduated from university, and he wanted to get a program in CCTV. But this year, CCTV was downsized and no new recruits were recruited, so He Jiong had to find another way out.
Just in this year, BFSU decided to admit He Jiong as a teacher in the school. Before that, BFSU required that students who stay at the school to be teachers must have a master's degree.
He Jiong and his father, He Wei, discussed whether to stay at BFSU to become a teacher. He Wei felt that according to He Jiong's temperament, it was very suitable to be a teacher.
He Jiong took his father's advice, and it didn't take long for him to officially become a teacher. Years later, he wrote in his published book: Even if you suffer a little loss because of your obedience to your parents, it's worth it, at least you take care of your parents' hearts, and what's more precious than our parents and our mothers?
It's just that even as a teacher, He Jiong didn't give up his dream of hosting.
In 1998, He Jiong ushered in an opportunity to change the trajectory of his destiny.
03
March 1998, Hunan Satellite TV in and Xiang co-host " Happy Camp " of Hyperion chose to resign, sometimes In between, "Happy Camp" lost a male host.
In order to find someone to replace Hai Bo, the "Happy Camp" program team looked for a suitable host. He Jiong, who had recorded a program on Hunan Satellite TV, entered the program team's field of vision.
The "Happy Camp" program team sent an invitation to He Jiong to give him a try.
So He Jiong asked BFSU for 5 weeks leave, and he also thought very clearly,He felt that he was just here to help someone take a class, and after five weeks he would return to Beijing.
Although He Jiong defines this as a substitute class, he is still very nervous when hosting "Happy Camp" for the first time. After all, hosting a variety show and hosting a children's program are completely different.
Fortunately, Li Xiang encouraged him. Li Xiang said to him: "Jiang Jiong, don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of in the live broadcast, just follow me and play as you please, I'm afraid the camera won't catch you." She also taught him how to interact with the guests, how to Chat with the audience.
It didn't take long for He Jiong and Li Xiang to work together very well.
In the 23 years since then, He Jiong has never left the stage of "Happy Camp".
He Wei is very supportive of He Jiong's work. He Wei called and wrote to He Jiong, never saying that he missed him. He always encouraged and corrected He Jiong. He also told He Jiong not to miss him and not to have any worries.
What moved He Jiong was that from the time he recorded the first issue of "Happy Camp", He Wei had saved all his information in "Happy Camp". In the earliest days, He Wei used videotapes to record videos. Later, he learned to use some computer software and learned to download.
But also because of He Jiong's success in "Happy Camp", He Wei created his own business kingdom.
04
In 2000, "Happy Camp" became a popular variety show all over the country. It was also from this year that He Jiong began to create his own business kingdom.
According to the current public information, since 2000, He Jiong has founded and invested in nearly 20 companies, which are distributed in the fields of film and television, catering, and e-commerce.
When the son becomes an invisible business tycoon,He Wei has not been idle after retirement.
On July 9, 2008, Hunan Jiongpa Culture Media Co., Ltd. was established. The company has a registered capital of 10 million yuan and its legal representative is Cao Jiaojiao, but Cao Jiaojiao only holds 5% of the shares, while He Wei holds as much as 95%.
With Hunan Jiongpa Culture Media Co., Ltd. as the main company, Hunan Jiongda has invested in Hunan Hejiazi Information Technology Co., Ltd., Hunan Hejiazi Enterprise Management Co., Ltd., and Hunan Hejiazi Culture Communication Co., Ltd. , Hunan Jiongpa Brand Management Co., Ltd. (currently cancelled), Changsha Hewei Seafood Restaurant Culture Management Co., Ltd. (currently cancelled).
And through the fame of his son, He Wei created a series of catering brands "Jiong Dad", which currently have 300 chain stores across the country.
It can be said that relying on a powerful son, He Wei made a lot of money.
It's just that after getting rich, He Wei has a lot of negative news.
05
In 2012, some netizens broke the news that He Wei and He Jiong's uncle, He Yu, used the reason of infringing on the feng shui of their ancestral home, and hired someone to be located in Linxiang City at night The archway of the Shangfan Group in Yinshi Village, Zhanqiao Town was torn down, causing extremely bad effects in his hometown. In addition, a letter from all the villagers of Shangfan Group to He Jiong was circulated on the Internet, and the main content was to ask He Jiong to persuade He Wei.
This revelation caused a heated discussion at the time, but not long after the revelation, another netizen came forward to clarify why he was afraid. Netizens who maintained He Wei revealed that the torn down archway was an illegal building. He also said that He Jiong and his family had been threatened and defamed, and demanded 50,000 yuan in cash.
As for whether this matter is true or false, it is not known to outsiders, and in the end it is not known.
But what really upset He Wei happened a year later.
October 2013,In order to operate the second phase of the fantasy 3D art exhibition project, a person named He Zhenxiang reached a cooperation with Jiong Papa Company.
At the end of the year, He Zhenxiang transferred 400,000 yuan to He Wei's account. Zhao Qiai, who was the chairman of Jiong Papa's company at the time, also issued a receipt, which read: "I have received He Zhenxiang's cash project today." The start-up capital is 400,000 yuan.
He Wei then paid 420,000 yuan to Wang XX, the partner of the 3D art exhibition venue, several times through this account.
It's just that after the completion of the second phase of the Dream 3D art exhibition project, He Zhenxiang and Hunan Jiong's father had a dispute over the settlement of various expenses during the operation.
He Zhenxiang asked Hunan Jiong's father to return the 400,000 yuan in advance. But Hunan Jiong's father was unwilling to return it, so He Zhenxiang sued Hunan Jiong's father.
On February 27, 2019, the case was heard, and the court held that He Zhenxiang's request for the return of the advanced funds of 400,000 yuan was in line with the law. The court required Hunan Jiong's father to return the plaintiff's advance payment of 400,000 yuan within five days, and He Wei was jointly and severally liable for the return.
He Wei is not satisfied with this verdict. He chose to appeal, and the second instance was held six months later. The verdict was: the appeal was dismissed and the original sentence was upheld.
However, after the verdict came out, neither He Wei nor Hunan Jiong's father fulfilled the court's verdict. Nearly 2 years had passed, plus the interest on the debt, 400,000 yuan had become 439,700 yuan.
On April 13, 2021, the identity of Lao Lai was disclosed and his reputation was damaged. In 2019 and 2020, He Wei still had a lot of troubles.
06
On the evening of January 8, 2019, some netizens broke the news that He Wei's "Jing Dad Xiao Seafood" restaurant owed wages to employees due to poor management. Workers confirmed the whistleblower's claims.
For a while, He Wei and his son He Jiong were pushed to the forefront.
For this, He Wei chose to refute the rumor,He issued a statement saying that there was no such thing as arrears of wages to employees at all, and that the store that broke the news online was not a regular franchise store under his banner.
The true and false "Daddy Jiong Xiao Seafood" incident has just passed a year. In 2020, He Wei's "Daddy Jiong Boneless Grilled Fish Rice" had another accident, and this catering brand was endorsed by He Jiong himself.
In December of this year, some netizens broke the news that the brand's franchise fee ranged from tens of thousands to more than 100,000 yuan, and they promised franchisees that they only needed to serve meals, and the company would do a good job for franchisees, including site selection and provision of equipment , training, online publicity and many other services.
But when the franchisees paid the money, they found that the company basically did nothing, and the "guaranteed number of orders" expressly stipulated in the contract was not fulfilled.
franchisees are losing money.
For this reason, some franchisees had to go to the "Daddy Jiong" company to ask for an explanation.
This also made He Wei and He Jiong once again pushed to the forefront.
In this regard, Hunan Jiong Dad responded that "Jing Dad Boneless Grilled Fish Rice" is a small catering brand under Jiong Dad's company. Now that such a thing has happened, Jiong's father admitted that he was overwhelmed in the early operation, and he promised to invest huge sums of money to help the partners do a good job in operation.
Although all of these things have brought a lot of trouble, none of them compares to the fact that he became a Lao Lai because of 439,700 yuan.
As an invisible rich man like He Jiong, He Wei is not bad money. After the second trial of the court, He Wei was unwilling to pay, and it could only be said that He Wei did not want to pay it back. Could this be the father of "hard work and honesty" written in He Jiong's book?
The more important point is that He Wei and He Jiong have become a community of interests. When he became Lao Lai, the impact on He Jiong's reputation was self-evident.
In the past two years, He Jiong has been receiving gifts because of the event.He Jiong's reputation was severely damaged by the incident of intertwining his fingers with a man on the street. Now that he has become the son of Lao Lai, He Jiong's reputation has been destroyed.
Even some netizens' guesses made people shudder. Some netizens bluntly said that He Wei was 79 years old. At this age, he usually enjoys his old age at home. Therefore, some netizens speculated that He Jiong used He Wei's identity to open so many companies.
However, until there is no real hammer evidence, this is limited to the speculation of some netizens.
Now that things have happened, I still hope He Wei and He Jiong can handle this well.
