"Gambling King" Stanley Ho: I love collecting. There is a golden mountain in my home. How many animal heads did I donate in Yuanmingyuan?

In China, anyone with status will be arty and engage in a special cultural activity, that is, collection. Wang Jianlin loves to collect calligraphy and painting, while 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 there is a golden mountain in his aggravation. In addition, Stanley Ho is a patriotic businessman who donated two animal heads of Yuanmingyuan to the motherland. What kind of legendary life does he have? What kind of collection does he have in his cultural cognition?

Bian Xiao 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 Mr. Ho's patriotic deeds. He is a patriotic businessman, followed by an entrepreneur, and finally a "gambling king". Bian Xiao aims to promote positive energy and wholeheartedly advise everyone to be good, so he tries to downplay the color of "gambling king". Born in a wealthy family, Stanley Ho lived a rich life in his early years. A rich boy's eye for identifying cultural relics is generally 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 excellent management ability is obvious to any family. With money in his hand, Mr. Stanley Ho began to invest in other fields and turned his attention to the field of collection. I have to say that Mr. He loves collecting. In his mansion in Macau, 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. He's home, and its splendor is really dazzling. People often say, how about Jinshan Yinshan? Mr. He's family has such a rare treasure. You can imagine the luxury of Jinshan. It's admirable that people make up the pictures themselves. Mr. He's collection direction is different from that of Ma Weidou in the Mainland, mainly including ivory, sapphire, diamonds and other luxury goods. Of course there are exceptions. Mr. Stanley Ho has twice donated the animal heads 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 also cares about the motherland. In 2004, Stanley Ho bought the pig head of Yuanmingyuan from a private American collector for 6 million yuan in his own name. After buying it back, he donated it to the country. In 2007, Stanley Ho bought back the horse head of Yuanmingyuan in his own name at a sky-high price of 6,965,438+10,000 yuan, and then donated it to the country. In the same year, he also donated five precious works of art to the National Museum of China.

"Gambling King" Stanley Ho loves collecting, and there is a golden mountain in his home. This is the second one. The key point is that he once donated two animal heads of Yuanmingyuan to the motherland. First, he learned that the twelve animal heads symbolize the century-old national humiliation of Yuanmingyuan and are exquisite national treasure cultural relics. Stanley Ho deserves to be a patriotic entrepreneur of the motherland, and this childlike innocence is also worth learning from each of us. As a collector, Mr. Stanley Ho has an obsession in his heart, that is, feelings of home and country, which is a traditional culture worthy of respect.
