The first rich man—— Li Ka-shing eldest son Li Zeju
In 1996, Zhang Ziqiang, who had just been released from prison, had the idea of "robbing Hong Kong's richest people". The "friend" he met in prison Ye Jihuan plotted a plan to blackmail Li Ka-shing.
After the plan was finalized, Zhang Ziqiang gave an accomplice named Ah Qi more than 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars to buy firearms, grenades, cars, and rent a house where the hostages were held.
In May, Zhang Ziqiang smuggled people to Hong Kong. When he boarded the Western Ring Road, he was discovered by the patrolling police in Hong Kong. There was a shootout between the two sides. Ye Jihuan was arrested, and the others escaped. I didn't feel it was a pity, he just happily found other "friends" and planned to bring everyone together to make a fortune.

On May 23, Zhang Ziqiang's Ma Zai ambushed at the pre-selected location in advance. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when Li Zeju came home from get off work, the vehicle drove to a sparsely populated one-way line. Several vans surrounded Li Zeju's car.
As a last resort, Li Zeju's car stopped, and then a group of kidnappers rushed out of the van, with submachine guns and sledgehammers in their hands.
Li Zeju is reluctant to get out of the car,The kidnapper picked up the hammer and smashed the windshield into pieces with one hammer. Li Zeju was frightened and could only follow the kidnapper's instructions and get out of the car obediently.
The kidnappers tied up Li Zeju and the driver, threw them into the trunk of the van, and then blew smoke from the exhaust pipe, and several vans ran away without a trace.
The person was kidnapped, and the next step was to inform the family to take money to redeem the man. The kidnapper took out Li Zeju's mobile phone, found his family's phone number, and instructed him, "Call your home and tell them that you have been kidnapped, and prepare Good money, if you dare to call the police, you will immediately tear up the ticket."
Li Zeju's hands were tied behind his back and his eyes were still blindfolded. After the kidnapper called the phone, he handed the phone directly to Li Zeju's ear, and Li Zeju said to the phone, "Hello, I was kidnapped, don't worry about me, don't call the police..."

Later, Li Zeju was transferred to a remote abandoned chicken farm When he got off the bus, Zhang Ziqiang hilariously hugged Li Zeju and kissed him, "You are really my golden pot!"
Then, the kidnapper stripped Li Zeju's clothes and locked him with iron chains.
I got my ticket back, how can I ask for money? The kidnappers get together to discuss the next action plan. Zhang Ziqiang told everyone that said that he planned to go to Li's house to ask for money in person .
Others asked, "What if you go alone and can't come back?"
Zhang Ziqiang explained with reason,
"That's why you don't understand, you haven't studied the psychology of these rich people. , When a person is poor, money is more important than life. Once you have money, life is more precious. The Li family is the richest Chinese in the world. I am afraid that the money is too much to count, but how many sons does he have? How much money can buy his son's life? I have studied many kidnapping cases, and many unsuccessful ones are that they spend too much time on the method of asking for the ransom. Such a person who is tumbling in the business world is very courageous and will not put money more seriously than his son's life. Today, I personally went to the door to negotiate,I just want him to see my courage, Zhang Ziqiang, and to express my sincerity. I believe things will be resolved soon. You wait for good news. "
After speaking, Zhang Ziqiang took Li Zeju's phone and drove to the meeting alone. While driving, Zhang Ziqiang took this phone and called Li's family. Li Ka-shing was not there, and Zhang Ziqiang didn't talk nonsense with others.
Picture丨Li Ka-shing
At this time, Li Ka-shing just learned about the kidnapping of his son, and he was rushing home. , In the end, he decided not to call the police .
Li Ka-shing's consideration is that Hong Kong does not have the death penalty, so the kidnappers may be released in a few years, not afraid of the thieves stealing, but afraid of the thieves thinking, what if the kidnappers retaliate What to do?
While Li Ka-shing was thinking about it, Zhang Ziqiang's second phone call came. On the phone, Zhang Ziqiang introduced himself to Li Ka-shing, "Mr. Li, my name is Zhang Ziqiang, you must know me.
At this time, Li Ka-shing realized that the notorious Zhang Ziqiang was the one who kidnapped his son. He pretended to be calm and asked, "Mr. Zhang, please tell me what you want." "
"In order to show my sincerity, I will come to the house to talk in person. Are you welcome?"
Li Ka-shing was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that a kidnapper not only revealed his name, but also arrogantly said that he wanted to have an interview, "Very welcome, please tell me what time it will be, we will be waiting for you at any time." "
"I'm already on my way to your house. I don't think I need to repeat it. You should know the rules." "
"Don't worry, as long as the dog is safe, I promise not to call the police. "

In order to step on the spot, Zhang Ziqiang has been to Li's house many times. He is familiar with the road, and he will arrive soon. The first sentence he enters the door, he said, "Mr. Li, please bring the police in your home." Call it out.
Li Ka-shing said with a smile,"I've been in business all my life, and I don't have any particularly successful experience, but what I know deeply is that one has to be faithful to what one says. If Mr. Zhang doesn't believe it, I can show you."
said, Li Ka-shing took Zhang Ziqiang with him After visiting the entire mansion, every locked door was opened for Zhang Ziqiang to visit at will. After confirming that there were no police officers, Zhang Ziqiang returned to the living room and discussed the conditions with Li Ka-shing.
The conversation between the two was unexpectedly friendly and peaceful. If you didn't know the premise of Li Ka-shing's son being kidnapped, you might have thought that the two were old friends reunited.
Zhang Ziqiang first got into a relationship with Li Ka-shing, "Mr. Li is a superman in the Chinese world, I have always admired you. When I sold watches more than ten years ago, I was honored to sell them to Mrs. Li, and I am very honored today. I'll have an interview with you."
also discussed doing business, Zhang Ziqiang said that he has no patience to walk step by step, and he is 41 years old, and he is only making ends meet.

Li Ka-shing asked him, "What kind of life does Mr. Zhang want to live?"
"I don't want to live a poor life, in fact, we people just want to settle down , Today, I was entrusted by a Hong Kong organization to negotiate with you on the matter of Mr. Li. The group of brothers in the organization need to eat, and they want to eat as much as possible. Well, Mr. Li is rich enough to rival the country, and we are not lions. , entrusted by the brothers to borrow 2 billion (Hong Kong dollars) from Mr. Li, all cash, no new banknotes."
"Even if I give you so much, I'm afraid I won't be able to withdraw cash, I don't know if the Hong Kong bank can propose this. More cash, do you think this is good? I'll make a phone call and ask."
"Then please hurry up and solve it earlier, so Mr. Li will be able to go home as soon as possible."
Li Ka-shing didn't delay in making this call. In terms of time, he really didn't know how much money a Hong Kong bank could withdraw. asked and the result was a maximum of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.
to show sincerity,Li Ka-shing was willing to give Zhang Ziqiang the 40 million (Hong Kong dollars) in cash kept at home first. Zhang Ziqiang accepted it. In a few minutes, the two of them negotiated the price.
When Zhang Ziqiang came out with 40 million Hong Kong dollars, he said that there was a "four" in the 40 million, which was a bit unlucky, "I will refund you 2 million (Hong Kong dollars), only 38 million (Hong Kong dollars), take the money back, I I will definitely not treat Li Gongzi badly."

In this way, Zhang Ziqiang went back smoothly and told the other accomplices that Li Ka-shing was willing to give 1 billion (Hong Kong dollars), everyone was happy and didn't sleep all night Awake.
Zhang Ziqiang called and asked if the money was ready. The other party said that 500 million (HKD) had been prepared, and he could go and get it now.
The last time I only took 38 million (HKD), Zhang Ziqiang put it back in a car, this time it was 500 million (HKD), so the Li family also thoughtfully prepared a big van for Zhang Ziqiang.
Zhang Ziqiang drove away in a big car with 500 million (Hong Kong dollars) in cash, and the two sides also agreed that at 4 pm, he would come and get the remaining 500 million (Hong Kong dollars).
At 4 pm, Zhang Ziqiang came with an accomplice, because when he took out money in the morning, he found that 500 million (HKD) was too much cash, and he was quite tired, so he brought another person.

After the remaining 500 million (HKD) cash was loaded into the car, Zhang Ziqiang walked up to Li Ka-shing and shook hands with him to say goodbye, "If I do this, will your Li family hate me?"
"Don't worry, I always teach my children to have the power of a lion, the heart of a bodhisattva, to fight with the power of a lion, and the heart of a bodhisattva to treat people kindly."
"Okay, Mr. Li, I remember The Li family keeps their word, and you also remember that I keep my word, and I promise that I and this organization will never harass the Li family."
Just as he was about to leave, Li Ka-shing stopped Zhang Ziqiang,
"Mr. Zhang, please stop, I don't know what to say, I don't know how you will use this money, I suggest you, use this money to buy our company's stock, I promise your family for three generations. No one can eat it all, or use the money to invest in a third country, or store it in the bank, and you will be assured of food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Li Ka-shing probably thought that Zhang Ziqiang went astray because he was too poor. , so he said these golden words. However, these words are only useful to businessmen or good people. For a gangster like Zhang Ziqiang, his response is only "hehe".
Zhang Ziqiang got into the car disapprovingly, and shouted at Li Ka-shing, "Young Master Li is going home tonight!"

Back at the chicken farm, Zhang Ziqiang said to Li Zeju, "Your dad is trustworthy. , we've already got the money, so we'll be honest and let you go tonight."
The kidnappers changed Li Zeju and the driver, drove them to the door of the Excelsior Hotel in Causeway Bay, and threw them away , drove away.
Later, Li Ka-shing said:
"I don't remember hating Zhang Ziqiang. It was my own negligence. I was so rich, but I didn't take any protective measures and gave others a chance."
After all, Zhang Ziqiang kidnapped Li Zeju At that time, Li Zeju didn't have any bodyguards besides a driver.
Afterwards, Zhang Ziqiang, as the boss, was allocated more than 400 million (Hong Kong dollars), and then he went to the Macau casino to spend a lot of time.

The second rich man—— Guo Bingxiang
In the past year alone, the huge ransom was squandered by Zhang Ziqiang,Zhang Ziqiang, who has tasted the sweetness of kidnapping the rich, is eyeing Guo Bingxiang, the second richest Chinese in the world, the owner of Sun Hung Kai .
In April, Zhang Ziqiang found his former accomplice Zhang Zhifeng and asked him to ask for 9 million Hong Kong dollars. Zhang Zhifeng had no money. Zhang Ziqiang took advantage of the situation and proposed that he had a "big business" here and asked Zhang Zhifeng to help.
Zhang Ziqiang didn't go into too much detail, just explained the task to Zhang Zhifeng: go to Sun Hung Kai Properties to observe Guo Bingxiang's movements every day.
A few days later, Zhang Zhifeng reported the tracking situation to Zhang Ziqiang. Considering that Zhang Zhifeng had already attracted the attention of the security guard, Zhang Ziqiang gave him 2 million Hong Kong dollars to find someone, rent a house, and buy a car.
Zhang Zhifeng found Hu Jishu , and the two began to discuss the details and preparations for the kidnapping. At this time, Zhang Ziqiang and his wife returned to Hong Kong from Macau.

On September 28, Zhang Ziqiang came to Hu Jishu's residence and assigned tasks to all the participants. The countdown to the Guo Bingxiang kidnapping case also began.
On the afternoon of September 29, Zhang Zhifeng watched the entrance of the Sun Hung Kai Building motionless. At 6:40, Guo Bingxiang, as usual, got into a light blue BMW and left.
Zhang Zhifeng informed his accomplices who were ambushing in the dark that Guo Bingxiang's car was stopped at a bend in Beach Road.
Then, another van got out and blocked the road behind. Guo Bingxiang honked his horn a few times, and suddenly saw several menacing men walking towards his car in the rearview mirror.
Guo Bingxiang was the only one in the car, not even a driver. The kidnappers dragged him out of the car and easily stuffed him into the van.
In the van, the kidnappers asked Guo Bingxiang to call home as before, but Guo Bingxiang refused to cooperate with ,As soon as he tore off the tape from his mouth, Guo Bingxiang began to teach them a lesson.

Zhang Ziqiang learned that Guo Bingxiang was firm and unwilling to call, so he called the Guo family. Do not negotiate.
At this time, the kidnappers had dragged Guo Bingxiang to the room he found in advance, and told him, "Call home, or your wife will think you are not safe".
Unexpectedly, Guo Bingxiang would not take this set, "Hurry up and let me go, or you will regret what happened today!"
The kidnapper punched and kicked Guo Bingxiang angrily, but Guo Bingxiang still refused to obey. The kidnapper was helpless and called to ask What should Zhang Ziqiang do? Zhang Ziqiang explained, telling them not to be rough, saying that he was thinking of a way.
Because of Guo Bingxiang's refusal to cooperate, this matter stagnated. Four days later, Zhang Ziqiang called and said, "Frighten him and make him suffer, but don't hurt his flesh, he is from a son, and he can't eat it. It's been a few days."
The kidnappers guarding Guo Bingxiang stripped Guo Bingxiang and locked him in a wooden box, with no food or water to drink. Another 4 days passed, Guo Bingxiang picked up the phone...

Knowing that Guo Bingxiang had called the family, Zhang Ziqiang called the Guo family immediately, and the Guo family was anxious that they could not find Guo Bingxiang, "Everything is negotiable, please be sure to Don't embarrass our husband."
Zhang Ziqiang proposed to go to Guo's house for an interview, but the Guo family did not agree. Zhang Ziqiang also proposed to go to the coffee shop opposite the police headquarters to talk, but the Guo family still did not agree.
They proposed their own negotiation method: sent a car to pick up Zhang Ziqiang, Zhang Ziqiang was not allowed to bring any weapons, only one person. Zhang Ziqiang agreed.
Afterwards, Zhang Ziqiang got into the car sent by the Guo family and raised his hand carelessly, letting the driver check.Start the car and drive to the destination.
This time, Zhang Ziqiang chose to get straight to the point, "Long story short, our group of brothers want a few settlement allowances, you are the super rich in Hong Kong, we will borrow some money from you, and if we make a deal, we promise not to harass your family. "
"How much do you want, sir?"
"It won't make you too embarrassed. I know that it will be difficult for you to withdraw cash. Just 1 billion (Hong Kong dollars)."
The Guo family looked at each other, " Sir, 1 billion cash is absolutely impossible to come up with."

After some "bargaining", the final amount was set at 600 million (HKD) . Guo Bingxiang has been imprisoned for a long time, and the Guo family is very anxious, but billionaires do not mean that they have 600 million (Hong Kong dollars) of liquidity, so it took them a whole day to barely raise it.
The next day, Zhang Ziqiang took a pony and went to the withdrawal bank that Guo's family said on the phone to ambush.
Unzipping a woven bag containing bulging cash, Zhang Ziqiang smiled and returned to his car with two woven bags.
Probably to punish the uncooperative Guo family, Zhang Ziqiang released Guo Bingxiang the day after receiving the money. Although Guo Bingxiang went back intact, the experience of being kidnapped made him suffer from depression, suspicious, suspicious, irritable, and completely changed his life...
And Zhang Ziqiang got it 300 million (Hong Kong dollars), after getting the money, Zhang Ziqiang, who was gambling excessively, went to Macau again.

The third rich man—— Hongshen Ho
There is no airtight wall in the world. into the next bound object.
Even the bodyguard industry in Hong Kong has become popular. Usually, when you go out, you will follow at least four bodyguards alone, for fear of being single.
There are also rumors that Zhang Ziqiang is ready to "the top ten richest people will be tied up one by one" , in fact, Zhang Ziqiang really means this, because the 300 million Hong Kong dollar ransom he got from Guo Bingxiang has been spent again.
This time, he was eyeing the Macau gambling king Ho Hongshen, because the money was lost in his casino, so Zhang Ziqiang decided to tie him up and let him return the principal and interest.
When it came time to prepare for work, Zhang Ziqiang discovered that Stanley Ho, who usually never takes people with him when he goes out, is now closely guarded by a few burly men, and even shows up a lot less.
The people sent out stared at it for several days and found that Stanley Ho's whereabouts were elusive. Zhang Ziqiang became more and more irritable. He knew that there was almost no chance of him succeeding.

So Zhang Ziqiang went completely crazy, and he proposed three "shattering plans":
1. Blow up Stanley Prison, making the Hong Kong police worthless in the hearts of the people ;
2. Ms. Chen Fang Ansheng, who kidnapped the government, coerced the government to release Ye Jihuan and other arrested brothers;
3. Continue to kidnap the super-rich, maybe you don’t need to do anything in the future, as long as you make a call, the other party will Obediently send the money to the designated place.
Afterwards, he explained that the two horses had come to the mainland to get a batch of explosives. The two horses had made 800 kilograms of explosives, 2,000 detonators, and a 500-meter fuse and shipped them back to Hong Kong.
Coincidentally, Zhang Ziqiang's gang was discovered by the helicopter of Flying Tigers during the process of transporting explosives, which completely exposed their whereabouts.
As soon as he arrived in the mainland, Zhang Ziqiang was discovered by the mainland police. After being followed for a long time, Zhang Ziqiang was finally arrested in Guangzhou.
After a year of interrogation, Zhang Ziqiang was sentenced to death , which is what he deserved.
