In 1986, Macau's casino industry was just picking up and was gaining momentum.
And Fok Yingdong, known as the "ship king", also wants to get a piece of the Macau casino, but he and the "gambling king" Stanley Ho have a difference in the concept of interests, the two cannot talk clearly, the difference is not appropriate, but the only thing that is certain is that neither of them will give in.
One day, Stanley Ho invited Fok Yingdong to drink tea and discuss matters, and a big man suddenly broke in and disrupted the banquet, but Fok Yingdong was almost threatened and lost his life, so who is this person?
A banquet
In 1986, two distinguished people sat in a tea restaurant in Macau.
They are Fok Ying Tung and Macau gambling king Stanley Ho, and the two met today to discuss commercial cooperation and major matters, but the atmosphere was very tense, and their expressions were also very serious.
It was originally a dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, but everyone on the table did not move a few bites, and around the banquet, there were several fierce gangster brothers, and the one led by them was even more expressionless, and the atmosphere they revealed was creepy.
I saw that after Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho met, they first exchanged a few pleasantries, and then sat down.
Fok Yingdong said straight to the point that he wants to withdraw the relevant shares in Macau, and hopes that Stanley Ho will see what kind of price the share acquisition after the withdrawal is.
Stanley Ho listened to Fok Yingdong's words, neither said the acquisition plan, nor answered the relevant matters related to his divestment, but blurred a few words and skimmed it over.
When Fok Yingdong saw such a situation, he already understood a little in his heart, I am afraid that Stanley Ho did not come to talk to me sincerely today, but he is not a vegetarian, he sneered, and in the subsequent conversation, he mocked Stanley Ho's attitude of avoiding talking about it.
The two of them fought back and forth, and no one let anyone, and Stanley Ho hinted in every way that he did not want Fok Yingdong to withdraw his investment, and Fok Yingdong also thought that he had not heard it at all, and he did not agree with it.
Seeing that Fok Yingdong's oil and salt did not enter, Stanley Ho had long expected it, so he issued a code word, and suddenly, a fierce and vicious jianghu man rushed in and yelled at Fok Yingdong: "What are you still talking about?" Just do as Mr. Ho said! ”
Fok Yingdong's face changed when he saw this, this person was the gangster of Macao gangsters, the feared helmsman Fung Siu-ming.
How could he be here? Huo Yingdong looked at Feng Zhaoming who suddenly appeared here and Stanley Ho in front of him, and understood a little in his heart, maybe today is a Hongmen banquet, and he has fallen into the situation under Stanley Ho.
But Fok Yingdong was still fighting for his own interests at this time, hoping to withdraw investment in Stanley Ho's project, but before he could react, Feng Zhaoming grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground, and the little minions around him also intentionally or unintentionally showed the pistol on his body to Fok Yingdong.
Fok Yingdong chuckled in his heart, knowing that he could not stay here any longer, so he left and left Macau overnight.
To talk about Feng Zhaoming, Fok Yingdong knew him much earlier than Stanley Ho, and he met through Fok Yingdong and the two, why did he choose to help Stanley Ho now?
Hongmen Zhongyi Society
In 1933, "918" broke out, and Japan's aggression against the mainland reached its peak.
The Hongmen gang in Guangdong was composed of traitor leaders during the fall of Guangzhou, who were supported by the liaison minister of the Japanese secret service and led by Li Yinnan, to form a fairly large traitor organization.
After Japan's surrender in 1945, the traitor organization was paralyzed. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek, in order to prevent the armed forces operating near the Japanese-occupied areas from entering Guangzhou first, issued an order prohibiting any troops from entering Guangzhou.
However, Ge Zhaohuang, a military commander stationed in Sanshui County, Guangdong, wanted to take this opportunity to go to the city to make a fortune.
Ge Zhaohuang was born in Heyuan County, Guangdong Province in 1900, and his ancestors were military attachés of the Qing Dynasty, so their family era would have some fist and foot kung fu, and treasured the secret recipe for ancestral bruises.
In the early years, he had joined the Kuomintang army, and then entered the military system, but his ambition was great, and after entering the military system, he tried his best to accumulate wealth and engage in smuggling activities.
At this time, he was about to move, and someone told him that there was a Hongmen organization in Guangzhou, a Chinese traitor organization established by the Japanese puppets, which once had great strength, although it has now been defeated, but if you can grab it, you can get a building, and you can also inherit the Hongmen organization and become a force for your own use in the future.
Ge Zhaohuang was very moved when he heard this, and immediately took action, and after some twists and turns, he finally became the latest head of Hongmen.
Because Hongmen was originally a traitor organization and had a bad reputation, Ge Zhaohuang renamed it "Hongmen Zhongyi Association", and thus became the new generation leader of the Hongmen Association.
In 1949, when the Kuomintang government fled to Guangzhou, Ge Zhaohuang received the tacit support of the Kuomintang, and used Chen Jinnan's birthday celebration ceremony to invite Hongmen organizations and predecessors, as well as acquaintances of various organs and groups, to attend, hoping to take this opportunity to expand the power of Hongmen.
After the twists and turns of being arrested, Ge Zhaohuang came to Hong Kong to develop new forces, and temporarily put away the name of "Hongmen Zhongyi Society", because the venue of the "Hongmen Zhongyi Society" in Guangzhou is No. 14 Baohuazheng Street, and there is a local gold jewelry called "14k" in Guangzhou, Ge Zhaohuang used "14k" as a proxy name for the Hongmen Zhongyi Association in Hong Kong.
Among the new forces in Hong Kong, it can be said that this is purely Ge Zhaohuang's henchman, among them, the most famous is Feng Zhaoming.
Feng Zhaoming was just a street gangster at the beginning, accidentally discovered by Ge Zhaohuang, and joined the Hongmen organization during the Guangdong period, and after joining the organization, Feng Zhaoming was active and flexible, and he was very loved by Ge Zhaohuang.
Feng Zhaoming was originally a native of Guangdong, and his family was not very good since he was a child, and his life in the huge Guangzhou was very difficult, and he could only pick up garbage everywhere and do odd jobs to subsidize his family.
After staying on the street for a long time, Feng Zhaoming's gangster temperament was revealed, and if you want to survive on the street, you must have a body of kung fu, and it was because of this good kung fu that Feng Zhaoming was caught in by Hongmen.
Feng Zhaoming, who entered the gang, originally thought that he could follow Ge Zhaohuang to eat fragrant and drink spicy, but he did not expect that things were not as smooth as he imagined, and soon after, the Kuomintang was defeated, and at this time Ge Zhaohuang's backers had collapsed, leading a group of henchmen to flee to Hong Kong.
After arriving in Hong Kong, Feng Zhaoming became Ge Zhaohuang's right hand, not only helped Ge Zhaohuang do a lot of great things, but his reputation outside the world is also increasing.
After a period of tossing and turning, Ge Zhaohuang quickly established his own number one gang in Hong Kong, and when it came time to discuss merit and reward, Feng Zhaoming was naturally put first by Ge Zhaohuang.
In 1953, Ge Zhaohuang died violently, and Ge Zhixiong immediately took the throne, but his ability was not a little worse than his father, not to mention that his mind was not at all on reviving and developing the gang.
So there was a split within 14k, and everyone began to huddle, and later 14k publicly opposed the Hong Kong British government, and was targeted by the government to sweep up, and 14k, which had already developed in Hong Kong, was forced to disband, and Feng Zhaoming fled to Macau.
At this time, Feng Zhaoming did not know that Macao was the second peak of his life.
The gambling king comes to the door
Feng Zhaoming, who first arrived in Macau, was embarrassed, but he did not lose confidence in his career at this time, but quickly adjusted his state and prepared to do something big.
Because of the experience of breaking out in Hong Kong, Feng Zhaoming had his own plan in mind, he teamed up with another leader in 14k, with ruthlessness and fierceness, he killed the local gangs in Macau, and Fung Zhaoming's vicious reputation immediately became loud in Macau.
Because the management of gangs in Macao at that time was also relatively chaotic, the gangs could be said to be leaderless, and the infighting was serious, and Feng Zhaoming grasped this characteristic and used means to snatch all their territory.
With more and more territory, Fung Zhaoming took only four years to re-develop 14K and become the largest gangster in Macau.
And he himself, also concealed his real name, outside, he was called "Ma Jiao Feng", "Ma Jiao" is the Portuguese pronunciation of Macau, people in the society see him, they have to honor this sentence.
It can be said that Feng Zhaoming has completely turned over at this time and stepped onto the position of the frightening gangster boss.
The news of the change of the day of the Macao triad immediately reached the ears of a person, and he was overjoyed when he heard the news, so he immediately contacted his friends and contacts, wanting to catch this line.
This person is the famous gambling king Stanley Ho.
Stanley Ho is a legendary figure in the circle of Chinese wealthy, he grew up in a wealthy merchant family, originally had a bright future without worries about food and clothing, but he was in the middle of the family, tasted the desolation of life, had to study hard, and finally became Macau's premier gambling king.
Although Stanley Ho, who has been floating in the business sea for many years, already has a strong force in Macao, he knows that it is very important to have a good relationship with both black and white, and for this newly promoted triad leader, he must make acquaintances and make good relationships, so that he can do things well in the future.
And the person who matched the bridge was Fok Yingdong, the owner of the leading company of Hong Kong shipping at that time.
Fok Yingdong is generous and benevolent, 14k has a good relationship with him, often secretly shining on him, Fok Yingdong's success and 14k are inseparable.
In his early years, Fok Yingdong joined hands with Stanley Ho, Ye Han and others to enter Macau casinos, and finally monopolized the operation of all casinos in Macau through resolute means.
Several people's careers were booming, and Stanley Ho founded a company, built a large hotel, and went more and more smoothly on the road of gambling king.
However, in 1986, Fok Yingdong's abrupt withdrawal disrupted all of Ho's plans.
Divestment events
Fok Yingdong proposed that he found that his business philosophy and Stanley Ho had a disagreement, so he planned to withdraw from the cooperation project and withdraw all the funds he had invested before.
Stanley Ho was puzzled at this time, now at the peak of the development of the casino industry, the company's valuation has been high, although it has encountered some bottlenecks, but Stanley Ho plans to change the business model after a while to solve it, and at this time Fok Yingdong is about to withdraw investment, it is inevitable that he is a little too anxious.
Stanley Ho made a calculation in his heart, if Fok Yingdong withdrew his investment, he would have to spend money to buy his part of the shares, which would cost a lot of money, and he was very reluctant to pay this money.
At this time, Stanley Ho remembered a person - Feng Zhaoming, if he was drawn in and joined the gang, it would be a good way to use the power of the underworld to put pressure on Fok Yingdong.
But Feng Zhaoming met Huo Yingdong at that time when he built a bridge for himself, and now let him deal with Fok Yingdong, will he agree?
But who can't get by with money? So a new plan was brewing in Stanley Ho's heart, and he immediately approached Feng Zhaoming and said: "I plan to create a new policy in two years, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I will give you some benefits, in addition, let your junior brother come to the scene and get commissions, these benefits can be much more than you earn in casinos and gangs." ”
As soon as Feng Zhaoming heard that it was profitable, he was immediately moved, after all, if this matter was done, it could double his gang's income several times.
But why suddenly introduce such a good errand? Feng Zhaoming looked at Stanley Ho's appearance and said, "Say, what are the conditions?" ”
Stanley Ho did not hide it, and only then told Feng Zhaoming the news that Fok Yingdong wanted to divest: "I want you to help me do something and make Fok Yingdong give up the plan to divest." ”
When Feng Zhaoming heard that it was related to Fok Yingdong, he immediately hesitated, but compared with the temptation of huge interests in front of him, he finally agreed to Stanley Ho's request.
Stanley Ho was very happy to see that Feng Zhaoming agreed, and immediately began to ask someone to invite Fok Yingdong to participate in the dinner, and did not say what the reason was, Fok Yingdong received a notice, thinking that he was coming to discuss how to buy the shares after the withdrawal, and immediately rushed to the banquet, but what he didn't expect was that he went to a Hongmen banquet.
Huo Yingdong, who came to the venue, was eating, and then he saw Feng Zhaoming, who was still muttering in his heart at first, but a sense of foreboding had already occurred in his heart.
As expected, the opening scene happened, Fok Yingdong was forced to sell his shares to Stanley Ho at a low price, and this business war finally ended in Stanley Ho's victory.
And Feng Zhaoming, who assisted Stanley Ho in completing all this, also got all the benefits promised by Stanley Ho, he made a lot of money in Stanley Ho's casino, but his actions gradually became low-key, not only did not participate in any interviews with the media, but even many people did not know his news.
Although he lost the business war, Fok Yingdong, as a patriotic businessman, put his own interests behind the country in China's rapid development stage, and deserves people's respect. After Fok Yingdong's death, wearing the bright five-star red flag was also the highest honor for his contribution.
