start from scratch
The rise of the Huo family is only due to one person, that is, Henry Fok, and the Huo family can also be said to be a family. When Huo Jiagang rose, it was Henry Fok who built it from scratch. He was born in May 1923, and his family conditions were so difficult that he didn't even have a wall at home. There are seven people in his family, huddled in an old boat and living by fishing. At first, he just did some manual work on the boat, such as cook, blacksmith and porter. Although these jobs are particularly hard, I can barely earn some money to support my family. When the Japanese retreated, they left behind a lot of machinery and equipment. Henry fok scraped together some money to buy some equipment, and then refurbished it and resold it. In this way, he earned the first bucket of gold in his life. Henry fok made his fortune by shipping, but by real estate development. In the 1960s, real estate in Hong Kong fell into a trough, and others were at a loss. But Henry fok stood up and called on everyone to unite and tide over the difficulties together. After that, we actively coordinated with government departments and introduced the policy of buying houses by stages to stimulate the market. Finally, I successfully survived the crisis and made a lot of money myself.
patriotism
Due to his childhood education and the political situation in Hong Kong, Henry Fok has always cherished a patriotic heart. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, he organized materials, transported them to China, established contact with China, and gained China's trust. Fok Ying-tung vigorously developed national enterprises because of his concern for people's livelihood, which also promoted the rise of many national enterprises. Although his family's assets are only 30 billion, he has many close friends, and Henry Fok is very kind to these families. Because of the friendly relations with China, Britain and the United States were dissatisfied, and many assets were lost and targeted by others. This is both a difficulty and an opportunity for the Huo family. After the return of Hong Kong, the Huo family has always enjoyed a special status because of its friendly relationship with the government.
Henry fok passed away.
Henry fok was seriously ill in his later years and has been receiving treatment in Beijing. Hospitalization 100 days left a very deep impression on the medical staff. When Henry Fok died, a funeral was held at the national level, and Henry Fok's coffin was covered with the national flag, which was the state's recognition of the Huo family. This kind of honor is not available in any giants in Hong Kong. In the giants, money is no longer the standard of measurement, but the energy of a family. The Huo family is a giant recognized by the state, so it has a special position and takes the lead.
