"Gambling King" Stanley Ho: I love collecting. I have a golden mountain at home. How many animal heads have I donated in Yuanmingyuan?

In China, anyone with status will be arty and engage in a special cultural activity, that is, collecting. Wang Jianlin loves to collect calligraphy and painting, and Ma Yun loves to collect some oil paintings. He is also a painter and calligrapher. Stanley Ho, the "gambling king", belongs to this kind of person, and he himself loves collecting. It is said that his aggravation has a golden hill. In addition, Stanley Ho was a patriotic businessman who donated two heads of Yuanmingyuan animals to the motherland. What kind of legendary life does he have? What kind of collections does he have in his cultural cognition?

Xiao Bian stated in advance that writing about Mr. Ho's deeds is not to let everyone engage in illegal business for nothing, but to let everyone see his patriotic deeds. He is a patriotic businessman, followed by an entrepreneur, and finally a "gambling king". Xiaobian aims to promote positive energy and wholeheartedly advise everyone to be good, so try to dilute the color of "gambling king" as much as possible. Born in a rich family, Stanley Ho lived a rich life in his early years. A rich boy's vision in identifying cultural relics is generally very poisonous. You can look at the children of the Eight Banners in history, who are basically treasure experts.

Although Stanley Ho is a veritable "rich second generation", he is a very capable businessman. In the long process of primitive capital accumulation, his outstanding business ability is obvious to the Ho family. With money in his hand, Mr. Stanley Ho began to invest in other areas and set his sights on the field of collection. I have to say, Mr. Ho loves collecting. Among his mansions in Macao, his home is comparable to a palace and a private museum, and his collection is still very rich.

It is said that there is a golden hill in Mr. Stanley Ho's house, which is magnificent and energetic, and really makes people dizzy. People often say how the Jinshan Yinshan is, and Mr. Ho's family has such a rare treasure. You can imagine the luxury of the Jinshan. It is really admirable for people to make up the pictures by themselves. Mr. Ho's collection direction is different from that of Ma Weidou in the Mainland, mainly ivory, sapphire, diamonds and other luxury goods. Of course, there are exceptions. Stanley Ho has twice donated the animal head of Yuanmingyuan to the motherland.

It must be a pain in everyone's heart to mention the animal head of Yuanmingyuan. However, as a patriotic businessman, Stanley Ho is also concerned about the motherland. In 24, in his own name, Stanley Ho bought back the pig head of Yuanmingyuan from a private American collector for 6 million yuan. After buying it back, he donated it to the country. In 27, Stanley Ho bought back the horse head of Yuanmingyuan in his own name at a sky-high price of 69.1 million yuan, and immediately donated it to the country. In the same year, he also donated five rare works of art to the China National Museum of the motherland.

Stanley Ho, the "gambling king", loves collecting and has a golden hill at home. This is second. The key point is that he once donated two Yuanmingyuan beasts to the motherland, knowing the twelve heads first, which symbolizes the century-old national humiliation of Yuanmingyuan, and is a national treasure cultural relic with exquisite production. Stanley Ho is worthy of being a patriotic entrepreneur of the motherland, and this childlike heart is also worth learning from each of us. As a collector, Stanley Ho has an obsession in his heart, that is, a feeling of home and country, which is a traditional culture worthy of respect.
