She has been incognito for 22 years, and as soon as she appeared, she was compensated 70 billion yuan, and she was crowned the richest man after the 90s, and she was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, she is the granddaughter of Hong Kong rich Man Li Ka-shing - Li Side.
Among the three generations of descendants, why is Li Side the most loved by his grandfather? Why did she stay anonymous for 22 years, and what happened to her?
01, buried in the name for many years, became famous in one fell swoop
Li Side was born in January 1996, his original name was Li Yanning
She was the first child of Li Ka-shing's eldest son, Li Zeju, the eldest granddaughter of Li Ka-shing.
The name Yanning means that Li Zeju hopes that his daughter can be humble, happy and peaceful as her name, which is a father's good wishes and expectations for his daughter.
19 years later, Li Yanning changed his name to Li Side. First enrolled at Hankey International School in Hong Kong, Lee Sid was a schoolite with excellent academic qualities, fluent in Cantonese and English, and held many important positions such as school Chinese editor.
Li Side not only has both moral integrity and ability, but also specializes in swordsmanship. She often participates in school archery competitions and has won various honors, large and small. This post-90s generation born with a golden spoon can be called a veritable all-rounder of literature and martial arts.
After graduating from Hankey International School in Hong Kong, Lee chose to go abroad to develop, and in 2017, Lee graduated from Pandison School of Law at King's College London, UK.
After returning from school, Li Ka-shing, as a grandfather, officially introduced his granddaughter to the outside world the following year, and various media in the outside world officially knew.
The third generation of the Lee family officially ushered in a new successor.
According to media reports, after Li Side returned from studying abroad, his grandfather Li Ka-shing handed over about 70 billion assets to her to manage, and some media said that Li Side received a huge amount of 70 billion yuan.
In 2018, Li Side, who had been incognito for 22 years, officially appeared in public with his grandfather, and was immediately appointed as a director of Cishan Temple. The 1.5 billion yuan investment of 10 years to build the Cishan Temple, is not just a temple, it has a very important symbolic significance in the Li family, and the foundation that was subsequently established injected with one-third of Li Ka-shing's assets. This shows how important Li Side is in Grandpa's heart.
Li Sid, granddaughter of Li Ka-shing: Hidden for 22 years, he earned 70 billion yuan when he appeared, becoming the heir of the family
Not only that, But Lee also served as a director of the uranium mining company invested by Li Ka-shing in Canada. At the end of 2018, he also served as a director of the family's Mega Properties. You know, in the 18 years before this, the directors of Mega Real Estate were only three fathers and sons of the Li family, until the emergence of Li Side changed this history.
Serving as a director of three important companies at the same time is enough to see that Li Side may have been trained by Li Ka-shing as the third generation heir of the Lee family.
02, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well rope.
Why has Li Side been concealed for so long?
This is actually related to a kidnapping case that occurred in the Li family.
In the 1990s, Hong Kong's public order was chaotic, the underworld and evil forces were rampant, and there were many robbers, one of which was Zhang Ziqiang, a century bandit who made people feel frightened.
In 1991, Zhang Ziqiang robbed 160 million cash trucks at Kai Tak Airport, the largest robbery in Hong Kong's history.
Interestingly, Zhang Ziqiang was arrested after the incident, but during the trial, because of insufficient evidence, Zhang Ziqiang was acquitted, and because of this oolong, Zhang Ziqiang also sued the police in court, and finally received 8 million yuan in compensation.
Zhang Ziqiang suspected that the amount of money he robbed was small, and he planned in his heart to join forces with the thief king Ye Jihuan to kidnap the top ten rich people in Hong Kong for ransom.
The richest man, Li Ka-shing, has become his target.
But because Li Ka-shing's whereabouts are secret, the security is cautious,
Zhang Ziqiang turned around and locked the signs on his son Li Zeju' body.
Zhang Ziqiang successfully kidnapped Li Zeju, and on the 2nd day, the bold Zhang Ziqiang tied explosives around his waist and Negotiated ransom with Li Ka-shing.
The final ransom was set at 1.038 billion, a staggered figure.
Li Ka-shing said without haste: "This time I was wrong, we are so well-known in Hong Kong, but I don't have any defensive ability." I'm driving down the road, and a few cars can surround me.
I want to take a deep look at my behavior and thank you for giving me a unique lesson
。 ”
From the second day after the incident, Li Zeju went to work as usual, but the kidnapping still caused great damage to his soul.
Since this incident, the depressed Li Zeju no longer likes to appear on various social media.
In fact, after Li Ka-shing took this incident from the kidnapping of his son, he began to reflect on the safety of his family, and he hired more than 20 retired special forces soldiers to protect the safety of his family.
The cost of security alone is more than 1 billion yuan in a year
Not only did he hire bodyguards, but he also asked his family to keep a low profile and not show his face unless necessary.
The always frugal Li Ka-shing has suffered a lot in protecting the safety of his family. It is said that Li Ka-shing's two sons have been exposed in front of people, and naturally they cannot keep a low profile at all times.
He can only strictly strengthen the personnel to protect Li Side's personal safety and prevent her from being affected by the outside world in the slightest, which also leads to a mystery about what his granddaughter looks like.
As the eldest granddaughter, Li Side is the focus of his grandfather's protection
Not only is she unable to show her face, but it is said that since Li Side started kindergarten, she has had four bodyguards around her to protect her safety and daily life.
Li Ka-shing had two sons, Li Zeju and Li Zekai.
In 2012, Li Ka-shing made arrangements for the family property, he handed over 40% of Cheung Kong Industrial and Huangpu shares and 22 listed companies to Li Zeju, and for Li Zekai, he said that he would support him in business.
Li Zekai
Later, Li Ka-shing used his resources to help Li Zekai set up a foundation of more than $95 billion in the United States.
As for why this arrangement was made, Li Ka-shing himself said that after his death, Li Zeju and Li Zekai did not need litigation to separate the family, and the two sons could have brothers.
Li Ka-shing's arrangement also means that the family's great cause is inherited and developed by the eldest son, Li Zeju, who has three daughters and a son, and his only son, Li Changxi, is only 14 years old this year.
Although Li Zekai also has a son, his son is only 11 years old.
This son was still born to him and Liang Luoshi, and Li Ka-shing did not recognize Liang Luoshi, li Zekai also broke up with Liang Luoshi, and Liang Luoshi and the child did not even have a formal name.
Li Zekai, Liang Luoshi
Therefore, it is also impossible for Liang Luoshi and Li Zekai's children to compete with Li Side for succession.
This also makes people understand why Li Ka-shing made Li Side a director of 4 important companies in three years, he paved the way for her granddaughter, and he also gave Li Side 70 billion yuan of family trust fund rights, which means that Li Side's value easily reached 70 billion yuan.
We have to sigh that Li Side cast a good fetus, she has been lying down to win since birth, as to whether the future eldest granddaughter can bring surprises to everyone, let's wait and see!
