1, Zhou Zhuohua 's leader
996, Andy Lau and Zhang Jacky Cheung both provoked a gangster in the world.
At that time, the two were at the peak of their careers and were full of schedules. However, in order to expand their influence, this boss wanted to hold a charity concert. On the performance list, the names of the two kings of are listed on .
Jacky Cheung doesn't want to participate. His wife Luo Meiwei called her godfather Deng Guangrong . Deng Guangrong is also the eldest brother on the road, but after learning the other party's name, he would rather persuade Jacky Cheung to go there.
Jacky Cheung had to go to the appointment.
. On the other side, Andy Lau had a schedule conflict, but the boss's younger brother directly invited him and took him to Macau. He was so anxious that he was so anxious that he first called Xiang Huaqiang who was in the mainland at that time, and Xiang Huaqiang asked gambling king Ho Hongshen for help.
Although Stanley Ho doesn’t have much personal relationship with Andy Lau, he has a very good impression of this young man. In 1992, he also appointed Andy Lau to play himself in the movie "Casino Tycoon".
Only after he came forward did Andy Lau resolve his embarrassment, but in order not to cause trouble, Andy Lau finally forced a smile to attend the charity party.
The big guy who made the two kings condescend is named Yin Guoju, and is known as " Bengta Ju ".
Yin Guoju was born in a poor area in Macau. He was the eldest among his five children at home. He was hanging on the streets early and did all kinds of chores. Later, he found that the casino made money quickly, so he became the "scalper" of the casino with a group of gangsters.
Soon Yin Guoju made his first pot of gold with his courage to fight. He bought himself a motorcycle, but as a result, he knocked off a front tooth while racing, so he got the name of "Cross the Tooth Cock", which seemed to foreshadow his ending.
htmlStanley Ho reformed the casino in the 180s, and the profession of the codec (casino intermediary) was born. Yin Guoju was lucky enough to get the codec rights and became the largest codec in Macau in one fell swoop.
htmlIn the 190s, Yin Guoju became bigger and bigger, and once became the boss of local gangs in Macau. With the inflated desire, he began to do whatever he wanted. In addition to "inviting" Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung to attend his party, he also filmed an autobiographical movie "The Storm of the River" for himself in 1998, and found Ren Dahua and to play him.
As a result, the collapsed teeth really broke down this time. Many of the extras in this movie are his younger brothers. The crimes in the film also make people think a lot. After the film was released, it immediately attracted the attention of the Macau police.
999, Yin Guoju was arrested and sentenced to 13 years and 10 months in prison. His era has passed.
Before Yin Guoju, there were 3 gambling kings in Macau.
The first place is Fu Laorong in the 1930s and 1940s, and is also one of the four major families in Macau. He has run a casino for decades and has a high prestige;
The second place is Ye Han in the 1960s. He made his fortune by listening to dice through Gu, and spent his life in the casino, and finally managed to run the Oriental Princess Casino and became the new gambling king.
The third place is Stanley Ho. He began to make a fortune in the 1980s and 1990s, and his influence has continued to this day.
Yin Guoju was probably the fourth generation of gambling king, but because of his short-sighted and domineering personality, he ruined his path as gambling king early on.
However, behind Yin Guoju, a younger brother has coveted his position for a long time. He was the fourth generation of gambling king, Zhou Zhuohua.
2, Zhou Zhuohua's three "killer weapons"
Zhou Zhuohua's growth experience is exactly the same as Yin Guoju.
is also born in a poor family , is also a street in the early years, and also makes a fortune after entering the casino.
But there were not a few coders in Macau in that era. Zhou Zhuohua was able to climb higher and higher among the gangsters, mainly because of the following three "trump card tricks".
first, a nickname for "star style".
Yin Guoju was called "Bengyao Ju" because of his front teeth. This nickname is easy to remember, but when he really meets people in the circle, he will still call "June ".
Zhou Zhuohua also has such a nickname, and it even spreads more loudly.
Because he looks very similar to the Hong Kong actor Liang Sihao , the latter won the title for squinting his eyes in the TV series " City Story " (here "Ximi" is homophonic to "Ximi"), so this title was also transferred to Zhou Zhuohua.
has such a "star-style" title, and gradually Zhou Zhuohua has become a star in the circle.
Second, be patient and humble in doing things.
Zhou Zhuohua is very similar to Yin Guoju, but his personalities are very different. Compared with Yin Guoju's conceited and arrogant, Zhou Zhuohua was tolerant enough in the early days.
Although he had already gained some status during his days as a coder, he was still polite and polite when facing gamblers. He asked everyone: "Do you need help? Is there enough money?" this set of rhetoric has been passed down to this day.
You can imagine that if you meet such a person in a strange place, you will feel very comfortable. Not only will you lose your guard, but you will also have more trust invisibly.
When you need to borrow money, he must be the first choice.
, smart business mind. After
won over to customers, Zhou Zhuohua was also very happy enough to do things.
The loan method used by other coders is to "cut the head interest". If you borrow 10,000 yuan, you will withdraw 1,000 yuan in interest in advance, and you will only get 9,000 yuan.
Zhou Zhuohua is different. He not only lends you all 10,000 yuan, but also bets with you. Every time you win, he will draw 10% of the interest next to you.
The repayment pressure of gamblers has dropped sharply, and the money of the codecs has made more money. This method of borrowing is called "explosive numbers". Zhou Zhuohua stood out from many people with this trick and walked behind Yin Guoju step by step.
3. The "female nobleman" in life
Jianghu organization also pays attention to seniority.
According to generation, Zhou Zhuohua is a generation younger than the Bengta Koo, and it is impossible for him to become the boss. It is even more fantasy to be the king of gambling.
But Zhou Zhuohua met her own mentor, who is the fourth wife of the gambling king Stanley Ho, Liang Anqi , known as "Tai Liang".
Among the many wives of the gambling king, Liang Anqi has the strongest career aspirations, but because of her poor identity, she directly interfered in the casino business. She urgently needed to find a helper, and the 25-year-old forbearing and low-key Zhou Zhuohua entered her vision.
After Yin Guoju was arrested, the money fell and scattered. In the chaos, Zhou Zhuohua took over the rich legacy left by Liang Tai, and became the real godfather of Macau's stacker.
And his ambition is by no means an intermediary for the rest of his life.
In 2007, Zhou Zhuohua established Suncity Group, and the company's industries involved in catering and entertainment, high-end tourism and real estate. He obtained an online gambling license in Philippines , and his wealth soared in just a few years, and his value exceeded 10 billion yuan.
At this time, Zhou Zhuohua had already reached the top of his life.
If you follow this trajectory, Zhou Zhuohua is likely to be everywhere in the name of "King of Gambling" and become a big winner in life.
4. Business, women, the two lines are lost, the dangerous signal appears
Zhou Zhuohua is actually the same type of person as Yin Guoju, but in the past few decades, he has been someone else's younger brother, so he can only choose to endure.
However, when he climbed into the position of the elder brother, the fox's tail leaked out, and the hostility accumulated by the society also exploded in full swing, and he did even more than Yin Guoju.
Yin Guoju gambling and establishing a criminal group, but Zhou Zhuohua didn't stop him. Not only that, he also started online gambling, entered real estate, and also made money laundering white gloves.
Yin Guoju invested in making movies, and Zhou Zhuohua also followed suit. He has invested in dozens of popular movies such as " Poker King " and " Dragon Chasing " over the years, and won the title of "Macau Louis Koo ".
Yin Guoju has been married four times, There are mixed races and beauty pageants. Although the garden is full of spring, most of them are gathered and separated, and there is not much trouble.
and Zhou Zhuohua is different.
His wife is an insurance-selling Chen Huiling . The two of them lived the hardest days together.
But after becoming famous, Zhou Zhuohua began to play with the flowers and was unrestrained. Among his many rumored objects, there is "the strongest mistress in history" Liu Bili .
Liu Bili is a model and has filmed advertisements for Olay , because of her pure image.
After breaking up with Chen Bolin , she quickly got on Zhou Zhuohua's sports car and willingly became his "human sofa".
Liu Bili and Chen Huiling competed to give birth to Zhou Zhuohua. Chen Huiling gave birth to two, Liu Bili gave birth to four, and Zhou Zhuohua smiled and accepted them all.
He arranged his wife and mistress in Hong Kong and London respectively. At the busiest time, the two had only been separated by more than ten days. Zhou Zhuohua ran away from both ends and was very busy.
Facing the media, he promoted "Mrs. Zhou has only one" , giving Chen Huiling a huge comfort. Unexpectedly, he turned around and held hands with Liu Bili in front of the media's long spear and short cannon, which made Liu Bili obey.
When a businessman frequently appears in entertainment weekly , it is actually a dangerous signal, but Zhou Zhuohua did not restrain himself at all, and his tone of speaking became stronger and stronger.
In the past, he once said that he was an ordinary person and wanted to live an ordinary life. But after becoming the person who was involved in , someone asked him if Stanley Ho was the new gambling king. Zhou Zhuohua said bluntly: "I am already."
Zhou Zhuohua and Louis Koo have cooperated many times. Louis Koo once commented on his old friend like this: "You must be content in life, and you can't make enough money." This also indirectly suggests how swelling Zhou Zhuohua is.
5. Zhou Zhuohua rewritten his own ending, and everything was just beginning...
In December 2012, Yin Guoju, who had been in prison for more than ten years, was released from prison.
In order to test whether he still has influence, in 2016, he invited friends on the road to hold a birthday party for his mother, and specially reserved a seat for Zhou Zhuohua.
Results On the birthday party, Zhou Zhuohua did not attend, which also means that the aftermath of the Collapse Koo's past era has been completely eliminated.
On the other side, Zhou Zhuohua was in a glorious moment and was quietly ushering in the final outcome of his career in the martial arts world and business world.
In May 2020, the third generation gambling king Stanley Ho passed away, and the fourth generation gambling king Zhou Zhuohua successfully took over. However, at this time, he had no time to enjoy this "honor" because he was targeted by the mainland police for his company's money laundering as early as 2019.
On November 26, 2021, Ping An Wenzhou released a message that Zhou Zhuohua was arrested for cross-border gambling crimes.
After more than half a year of interrogation and investigation, the media reported that the Zhou Zhuohua case will be tried on September 2. Zhou Zhuohua was charged with illegal gambling and money laundering, involving an amount of up to 800 billion Hong Kong dollars, or approximately RMB 680 billion.
The 800 billion is the turnover of the casino, and Zhou Zhuohua is responsible for the commission.
In " Anti-Corruption Storm ", the money laundering commission ratio of characters in the play is 15%, and it is also the friendship price;
In " Eavesdropping Storm ", the money laundering commission ratio of characters in the play is 17.5%, and the larger the number, the higher the commission ratio. The data in these movies such as have real cases to rely on.
Using this reference, it can be seen that Zhou Zhuohua alone will get the amount of oil and water he will get by just taking the oil and water, which is beyond our imagination. His nickname "Ximihua" back then was really right.
Now, looking at Zhou Zhuohua's history of becoming a wealthy man and depravity, he was born in poverty, and he was humble and tolerant, flexible in mind, but he went astray and was gone forever on the road of pursuing desires. Finally, he fell at the peak and fell to pieces.
From a business tycoon to being imprisoned, Zhou Zhuohua finally rewritten his own ending.
However, the fact also tells us that there will never be any crime that can be whitewashed. When he took the first step towards crime, he was actually destined to have the ending of today.
8-year-old Zhou Zhuohua spent the first half of his life with ups and downs. Now with the deepening and unsolved case, his second half of his life's atonement life has just begun...
