86_86661 The Governor of Montinni Road glanced at Chen Zhong and said with a smile: "My distinguished friend, look at it, except for Mr. He Dong, the richest man in Hong Kong, who else is qualified to gamble with you?" ā
In Chen Zhong's memory, this He Dong is a famous comprador, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and one of the founders of the University of Hong Kong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info, formerly known as He Qidong, was born in Hong Kong, and entered Bao'an, Guangdong with his mother's origin, and is the richest man in Hong Kong since the opening of the port.
There used to be a saying in Hong Kong that described a person who is not self-conscious, he will say, "You think you are He Dong", from this sentence is enough to prove that Mr. He Dong's status as the richest man in Hong Kong can be described as rich and rivaled by the country.
He Qidong's father is a Dutch-Jewish named He Shiwen, and his mother is Shi Di from Bao'an, Guangdong, so He Dong himself is a mixed Eurasian child.
As early as 1842, after the opening of Hong Kong, a group of European merchants and adventurers looking for business opportunities came to Hong Kong, and Ho Tung's father Ho Shiwen was one of them.
Ho arrived in Hong Kong in 1859, where he had worked for Jardine Matheson & Co. It also owns part of the equity interest in Hong Kong Hotel. At the same time, he is also a director of Whampoa Dockyard, Ho Shiwen's company, and has frequent business dealings with Jardine Matheson in the marine insurance business.
In 1869, Ho was appointed consul to the Netherlands, during which Ho felt that it was difficult to do business in Hong Kong, so he sold his assets in Hong Kong and left Hong Kong.
He Dong is the eldest son of Ho Shiwen, because of his shrewd mind and boldness, Ho Tung soon became a super-rich man in Hong Kong, and the Ho Kai Tung family he founded was the first prominent family in Hong Kong during this period.
This time, He Dong made a special trip to Macao to inspect investment and prepare to expand some business in Macao.
Tonight, the Governor's Office of Macao hosted a banquet to entertain the Hong Kong tycoon, but the original plan was not to arrange for Chen Zhong to meet the Hong Kong tycoon.
However, in the afternoon, after the abduction, the governor of Macau was very grateful to the young king of Hainan for saving him, and he had a better understanding of the king of Hainan and his person.
Therefore, Montinillo wanted to give back something to the king of Hainan to show his gratitude, so he remembered to meet He Dong, a Hong Kong tycoon, at night.
So, he sent someone to explain to He Dong and arranged for him to meet with the king of Hainan once, and drew a line for their cooperation.
Chen Zhong learned that he was meeting with the Hong Kong tycoon, who is famous in East Asia, and of course, he was very willing. Because this is very meaningful for the future development of Hainan Island.
Hainan is facing a major economic construction, so it is urgent to introduce talents and technology, and more importantly, to introduce strong investment, so that Hainan can truly develop.
Future wars and conquests will require a large amount of materials such as guns, food, clothing, and housing, and in the final analysis, the journey to achieve the empire will require a lot of money and a lot of material production.
Therefore, it is a very good thing that Montinillo arranged for the richest man in Hong Kong to meet him.
In the evening, in the banquet hall of the Macau Hotel, Monttini Road hosted a banquet for Chen Zhong and He Dong.
At the banquet, Chen Zhong and Mr. He Dong had a very pleasant conversation.
Ho Tung is a middle-aged man in his forties, and if you don't say he's the number one tycoon in Hong Kong, you'd never know he's a banker, entrepreneur and philanthropist.
Because, He Dong's first impression is like a scholar, with a thin face, a pair of gentle eyes, and he is very humble when he speaks.
The conversation left a very good impression on Chen Zhong, who was eager to work with the world-famous Hong Kong tycoon.
Therefore, during the banquet, Chen Zhong asked He Dong: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. He has opened up a wide range of financial channels and has business all over the world, which is unique in Hong Kong, even Asia and the world. Mr.'s business has been done all over the world, and there must be some business secrets to achieve today's great achievements. This king wants to ask, what is the secret of sir's fortune? ā
He Dong smiled lightly and said, "I'm just a coincidence." To say, I can really achieve a little bit of success, I have summed it up, that is, just nine words, make a good relationship, not greedy, dare to gamble. ā
Montinilo said with a smile: "He Dong's wealth cheats must be a thousand words, and it is really worth the trip to be able to hear about this peerless cheat here today." ā
"Where, where! Mr. Governor said seriously, He just took some detours, and he privately summarized some experiences, not any experience, cheats and the like. He Dong smiled faintly.
Chen Zhong looked at the humble He Dong and said: "Then let's talk about it, this king is trying to learn from you and see if I can learn from the economic development of Hainan." If I have the opportunity, I would like to invite Mr. He to visit us in Hainan and give some suggestions by the way. ā
"I don't dare to make suggestions, what I just said is just He Mou's humble opinion, and it is not enough to mention."
"Let's talk about it, Mr. Ho, so that we can see the legend of your Hong Kong tycoon."
"King of Hainan, you have won the award, you are the real legend, and He's shipping industry will rely on the care of the prince in this area in the future."
"This, we will discuss the specific details in further detail in the future, I won't talk about this today, let's explain the secret of your fortune."
"Yes, Mr. Ho, let's talk about it."
He Dong glanced at Chen Zhong, the king of Hainan, and the governor of Montinilu, and said, "Since the two adults have asked for it, then I will tell you my humble opinion."
Over the years, the first goal and principle I have pursued in business is to form good relationships. There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures that everything arises from causes. My understanding is that if you have a bad relationship, you will definitely get bad results, so if you have a good relationship, you will definitely get good results.
Therefore, I will never do any business that does not benefit myself in the end and hurts others! I don't do anything that benefits myself but hurts others! I will not do anything that is not beneficial to myself and has interests to others! I only do business that is beneficial to myself and others!
Therefore, I only stick to this principle in doing business. Everything can only be done well if you adhere to the principles!
So, this is also the first cheat I have followed over the years, which is to only make good connections! Do only what is good for yourself and others! ā
"Well, Mr. He said it so well! Everything must have a bottom line in order to become stronger and bigger, otherwise, it is just a low-end businessman. So, Mr. Ho, what about your second cheat? Chen Zhong said approvingly.
"That's [not being greedy]. I've seen winners and losers in gambling floors, and I've noticed a pattern later. Gamblers who want to win more end up losing. Gamblers who play seriously with the mentality of a game win in the end. Why do you say that? I pondered for a long time before I realized that there was so much more to learn here. ā
"Mr. He, just tell me, what's going on?"
