Why is the gambling king Stanley Ho so rich? I saw the great-grandfather of the gambling king and immediately understood.

Stanley Ho, the gambling king, can be said to be a man of the hour in Macau, but he is such a legend, and his success is inseparable from the success of his family and great-grandfather. Mr. Ho, the great grandfather of the gambling king, was a Jew born in the Netherlands. After the two Opium Wars, Britain blew the door to China. With the opening of trading ports, a large number of foreign businessmen came to China to seek gold, so many foreigners appeared in the coastal areas in the late Qing Dynasty. He Shiwen is one of them. He Hegang worked in Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong when he first came to Hong Kong, and later founded his own labor export company. Later, the business map gradually expanded, and many hotels in Hong Kong once owned shares. In Hongkong, he met a woman from China whose ancestral home was in Guangdong. The two met and fell in love, finally got married and established their own small family. Great-grandmother and her business in Hong Kong went smoothly at first, but as time went on, more and more businessmen came to Hong Kong to do business. As far as price and quality are concerned, Shi Wen's goods are hard to compare with theirs. Finally, I have to stop my career in Hong Kong because I can't make ends meet. He Shiwen wants to go back to Holland for development. But because they are Jews, their religion does not allow them to marry non-Jewish women. If he wants to develop smoothly after returning to Holland, he can't let this China wife stand in his way. Although his wife had given birth to two sons for him at that time, He Shiwen relented, abandoned his wife and returned to Holland alone. He Qidong is the two sons abandoned by He. With the support of her mother, one became the richest man in Hong Kong (He Qidong) and the other became a business tycoon who criticized the current situation in Hong Kong (He Qifu). It is worth mentioning that He Qifu is Mr. He's grandfather, and now Mr. He has made today's achievements. His own efforts are on the one hand, in addition to his family business and excellent genes. The gambling king has a good family and is now one of the best families in Hong Kong. After more than a hundred years, it seems to have broken the rumor that "three generations are not rich". But who would have thought that such a prominent family was actually a Jew? That's what we said. Sometimes there must be something in life. I wonder what Shi Wen will think when his son becomes the legendary richest man in Hong Kong.
