This film is adapted from a kidnapping incident of a wealthy family that has caused a sensation in the world. The grandson of Paul Getty, the richest man in the world, was kidnapped by gangsters. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 17 million US dollars. Kidnapped." The kidnappers who couldn't get the money cut off the ears of the hostages and mailed them to the newspaper. Under great pressure, the old Getty finally gave in. After a long bargain, he finally exchanged $3.2 million for his waste material grandson. The money Getty himself only gave 2.2 million, and the remaining 1 million was lent to his son (the father of scrap wood), which needs to be repaid from the trust fund with interest. At the suggestion of his mother, the scrappy who survived called his grandfather to thank him, but the old Getty refused to answer.
Thinking back to that year, Li Zeju, the eldest son of Li Ka-shing, the richest Chinese man, was kidnapped by Zhang Ziqiang. How did Li Ka-shing do it? First, after consideration, choose not to call the police. Then, Zhang Ziqiang went to Li's house alone to ask for money (courage enough!) Li Ka-shing opened every closed door in the house to Zhang Ziqiang to see, to prove that there were no policemen at home. Zhang Ziqiang asked for 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, all cash, and no new banknotes. Li Ka-shing immediately called the bank to ask if he could withdraw so much cash. The bank said that he could only withdraw up to 1 billion in cash. In order to show his sincerity, Li Ka-shing gave Zhang Ziqiang all the spare 40 million cash he kept at home. Zhang Ziqiang thought that "4" was unlucky and returned 2 million, but only took 38 million. The next day, Zhang Ziqiang came to Li's house twice to withdraw 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Because there was too much money, the Li family also provided a big van to Zhang Ziqiang to transport the money. Before Zhang Ziqiang left, he shook hands with Li Ka-shing to say goodbye, saying: If I do this, will your Li family hate me? Li Ka-shing said: Don't worry, I often teach my children to have the power of a lion and the heart of a bodhisattva, to fight with the power of a lion, and to treat others with the heart of a bodhisattva.
It is also a kidnapping incident by a wealthy family. As the richest man in the world (and the richest man in history), how old Getty is money-loving and ruthless, and Li Ka-shing values human life more than money. How shocking is the courage of a human being and the heart of a Bodhisattva, he truly deserves to be a superhuman!
