Lee Kin-hee (January 9, 1942 – October 25, 2020), born in 1942 in Daegu, South Korea, studied in Japan and the United States. In 1987, Lee succeeded his father and became the second president of the Samsung Group.
Lee Byung-chol and son Lee Kin-hee
Lee Kin Hee's father not only did a good job in business, but also had a lot of skills in childbearing, and he had three sons and four daughters with his wife. Lee Kin Hee was the youngest son of Lee Byung Cheol, the eldest son Lee Meng Hee and the second son Lee Chang Hee.
Lee Byung-cheol lived in Korea under Japanese rule, and when he was young, he studied at Waseda University in Japan, and he can be regarded as a high-achieving student of the older generation.
At the beginning of the business, Li Bingzhe and his wife took several elderly children out to work hard. Young Lee Kin Hee grew up in his grandparents' home and did not meet his father until he was six years old, so the father-son relationship was not very deep.
Lee Byung-chol did not pay attention to this younger son at first, and the traditional custom in Korea is the primogeniture inheritance system, so Lee Byung-chol has always brought his eldest son Lee Meng-hee with him as the heir. At that time, Lee Kin Hee had no sense of existence in front of his father and did not receive attention.
Lee Kin Hee's big brother: Lee Mon Hee
Lee Meng-hee's performance in the company is very bad, under his management, the company's profits continue to decline, and even lead to a loss of 50%, which has triggered the dissatisfaction of many shareholders, who have repeatedly vented their dissatisfaction in front of Lee Byung-cheol and complained about Lee Meng-hee's fainting behavior.
When Lee Byung-cheol learned of his father's idea, in order to keep his heir's position, he did not hesitate to search for evidence of Tax Evasion and tax evasion by Lee Byung-cheol, planning to go to the procuratorate to report his father. The younger brother Lee Chang-hee learned of his brother's behavior, and in order to ask for credit, he immediately denounced it in front of his father, and expressed his willingness to accept it on his behalf, so although Lee Byung-cheol broke the law, he did not suffer the slightest damage, but the second son took his place in prison.
Of course, Lee Chang-hee is not a fool, and his willingness to go to prison in place of his father must have a purpose. He felt that he had helped his father, and the eldest brother had been deposed, so it was his turn for the second son to take charge of the family business. Unfortunately, he miscalculated, his little brother usually seems to be unremarkable, and Lee Kin-hee, who has no ambition, has long been coveted for the position of heir, and he did not expect his father to be so ruthless to himself.
Lee Kin Hee's second brother: Lee Chang Hee
Lee Chang-hee spent a few years in prison for his father, and in recent years, Lee Kin-hee has gradually been reused as his father's only son in the company, and he is also very caring. Because he once worked for Samsung Radio Media for a period of time, he would read the newspaper next to his father every day, and his father often asked some questions about current affairs, politics and economy to this young son, and every time Lee Jianxi could perfectly hand over the answers, so that the balance of the old father's heart gradually tilted to the younger son.
In the years when the second brother was imprisoned, Li Jianxi also learned a lot of management knowledge and practical experience in the enterprise with his father. This young son is not only smart, but also has good ability, and the city government is on par with Li Bingzhe, so Li Bingzhe slowly cultivates the younger son as a baton takeover.
When poor Li Changxi in prison got this news, he really beat his chest and was extremely angry, and he planned to emulate the big brother's practice and accuse himself of covering his father's sins.
Somehow, the news reached Lee Kin-hee's ears, and he immediately informed his father. When Li Bingzhe was released from prison by Li Changxi, he arranged for the medical staff of the mental hospital to take the second son away directly, and it was really not a person who stood still, even his own son was willing to do this poisonous hand, and he was really ruthless and the most powerful family.
The eldest brother was frustrated by his career and his health was not very good, and he stayed in Beijing for a long time in his later years for convalescence and treatment, and eventually died of illness in Beijing. The second brother, Li Changxi, was upset because he was not willing to be new, and he was depressed and died in the hospital for a few years.
After getting the two brothers done, Li Jianxi finally had time to free up his hands to make a bold career, he cut off the loss-making subsidiary business, kicked out the enterprises controlled by other sisters out of the Samsung Group, eliminated the children of the brothers and sisters one by one, and arranged his children into various important departments and positions of Samsung.
"Except for the wife and children, everything else needs to change." Lee Said
Samsung Group's semiconductor industry from Li Jianxi has not yet become the heir to the time to be responsible, he has been very optimistic about the semiconductor industry, it can be said that the consciousness is still relatively advanced, at that time Japan and the United States have some contradictions, Li Jianxi saw the signs, the trend to obtain the support of the US government, vigorously develop the semiconductor industry, which is also the main pillar of the later Samsung Group to dominate the world.
Li Jianxi was not only cruel to his two brothers, but also to his brothers' sons. The eldest brother's son was kicked out of the company by him and went out alone to start a business, the second brother's son Li Zaican's company encountered a broken capital chain, asked Li Jianxi for help, he not only ignored it but also fell into the well, Li Zaican finally could not stand the blow and committed suicide.
Lee Chang-hee's son: Lee Jae-chan
Although the young son of Lee Bingzhe is very cruel and ruthless to his brothers and relatives, but in terms of career, he is definitely a king-like player, Samsung Group under his leadership to operate business gradually diversified, petroleum, chemical, construction, hotels, smart products, insurance, shipbuilding, military products enterprises are involved, to create a South Korean ace enterprise, no wonder Koreans sighed: a lifetime can not be separated from three things: death, taxation, Samsung.
The vast majority of south Korean enterprises rely on the support of the United States, all walks of life have mushroomed and flourished, among which the best companies such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and Hanjin have become domestic giants with the support of the US government, and the chaebols have to give three points to the government because of their huge contributions to the Korean economy.
Li Jianxi's eldest daughter Li Fuzhen married and family photo
Li Jianxi has a successful career, and his wife Hong Luoxi is also from a famous family, they have four children in total, the eldest son Li Zaiyong, the eldest daughter Li Fuzhen, the second daughter Li Xuxian, the youngest daughter Li Yinxin, and the family business of Li Jianxi, who is proud of the spring breeze of the career, is indeed a dog bloody.
Li Jianxi's wife Hong Luoxi, when she became the head mother of the Li family, constantly promoted her younger siblings, and under the shade of the Samsung Group, Hong Luoxi's three younger brothers were in the business world, and the political circles were mixed up. However, these three younger brothers are not as reliable as their sisters, and after being rich and powerful, they gradually turned a blind eye to the Li family, and the news that led to Li Zairong's imprisonment was first reported by Hong Luoxi's brother's company.
This uncle is also a good hand of the pit nephew, and he will stop at nothing for the sake of profit, and it is really not a family that does not enter the door. The relationship between the two families gradually deteriorated, and at a certain feast for the marriage of his younger brother and son, Hong Luoxi brought the whole family to the scene, and the relationship between the two families gradually eased.
The eldest son, Li Zairong, married Lin Shiling, the eldest daughter of the Elephant Food Group, and had a son and a daughter after marriage, because her mother-in-law Hong Luo was very happy, Lin Shiling could only be forced to give up her studies after marrying into the Li family, and was at ease to teach her husband and children at home. The reason for their conflict was that Lin Shiling's maternal elephant group encountered a financial crisis and poor operating conditions, And Lin Shiling sent a request for help to her husband's family, while her husband Lee Jae-yong not only did not help.
In order to ask for credit in front of his father, he even persuaded Lee Kin Hee to take advantage of this to buy the Elephant Group. Lin Shiling was completely dead-hearted, in the eyes of the Li family, she was always just an outsider, just a tool for childbearing, and she filed for divorce without hesitation. After the divorce, Lin Shiling returned to her mother's elephant group in a high profile, and it is strange to say that the elephant gradually came out of the crisis and returned to normal under her leadership, and her love life became colorful, and she fell in love with Lee Jeong-jae, the South Korean Blue Dragon Film Emperor. It can be said that after leaving the Li family, Lin Shiling lived out herself and became more and more smooth.
Lin Shiling
On the other hand, Lee Jae-yong is indeed plagued by scandals, first tax evasion, bribery of government officials, Park Geun-hye's girlfriend door incident led to Lee Jae-yong in prison, the son did not learn any skills but relied on the identity background of the Samsung Group to enter the key high school, causing national dissatisfaction, and later transferred to the China International School, not long after the father was arranged to study in the United States.
Without the restraint of his family, he was even more indulgent, smoking marijuana, fighting for trouble, and was eventually deported by the US Immigration Service, which was really ugly to the international community.
Lee Zaiyong constantly wiped the ass of his unfortunate son, and under pressure, he could only hold a press conference to announce that the third generation of the Li family would not inherit the enterprise, which calmed the anger of the people.
Lee Jae-yong was questioned by reporters
The eldest son, Lee Jae-yong, is unconscious, and the eldest daughter, Lee Fu-jin, is also annoyed by the married life of Lee Kin-hee, who actually falls in love with her own security guard, Ren Youzai. Li Fuzhen's career is prosperous, quite his father's style, known as Little Li Jianxi by the outside world, but he has a love brain.
The old father, Li Jianxi, refused to marry his daughter to Ren Youzai, who had such a huge disparity in the door no matter what, and could not resist the obsession of the eldest daughter and stubbornly resisted. Lee Kin Hee softens his heart and finally agrees to the marriage between the two of them. Because Ren Youzai was born poor and did not read much himself, the employees within the Samsung Group had a lot of criticism of him for entering the group as a manager because of his relationship with Samsung's son-in-law, and there was no strength, and the company's employees actually looked down on Ren Youzai, the horse master.
The eldest son-in-law did not cause trouble for Li Jianxi in the company, he had no ability to do it, and often randomly commanded a pass, the emotional intelligence was low, and the department in charge was not long ago by him. Lee Had to send him to study in the United States, hoping to improve his son-in-law's ability.
Who knew that Ren Youzai was a dou who could not be supported, and when he came to the United States for several years, he not only did not learn knowledge, but he could not hold out a word of English for half a day, and finally he could only return to South Korea in disgrace. Frustrated in his career and frustrated in life, Ren Youzai constantly bought drunk, gradually vented his anger on his wife, and at every turn punched and kicked Li Fuzhen to commit domestic violence.
Li Fuzhen
Li Fuzhen couldn't stand it anymore and proposed a divorce, and Ren Youzai and his family were stunned to take more than a billion yuan from the Li family before agreeing to divorce. Li Fuzhen had no choice but to agree in order to get rid of him as soon as possible. Originally, Li Fuzhen was quite valued by Li Jianxi, and he did have strength.
Lee Jae-yong is very jealous of this sister, so when the whole family was opposed to Li Fuzhen's marriage, only Lee Jae-yong stood up to support his sister, and this intention was really quite a true father's legacy. Shareholders are also speechless about Li Fuzhen's love brain, and for this rotten mud can not support the wall of Ren Youzai, Li Fuzhen lost the qualification of heir.

Li Jianxi's second daughter Li Suxian is the most inconspicuous, she married according to the family's arrangement, married to The former president of "East Asia Daily" Kim Bingwan's second son Kim Jae-yeol, married life is quite sweet, life is smooth, spend more time in the career, under her management, the wool textile enterprise she is in charge of is still in good condition.
Lee Su-hsien with her husband
Lee Yoon-hyun is Lee Kin-hee's most beloved daughter, and on her 18th birthday, her father gave her a supercar. She likes racing, Li Jianxi bought a brand-name luxury car for her, really holding it in her hand for fear of injury, and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting. Growing up with the golden key, she didn't suffer any trouble, wanted anything, had any trouble, and her father only needed to move his fingers to help her solve it.
Li Yinxin
Lee Kin Hee spoils her young daughter infinitely, but he really does not dare to take any more risks in the marriage of his younger daughter. Li Yinling fell in love with a man of civilian origin. At that time, she was studying in the United States, and at the end of a racing car, she met Zhao Wenyu, who was also from South Korea.
They gradually develop feelings for each other, but are discovered by their father, Lee Kin-hee. He not only sent people to the United States to spy on his young daughter, but also made an appointment with Zhao Wenyu, and like the bridge section of the TV series, he planned to spend money to send Zhao Wenyu and order him to leave his daughter.
Zhao Wenyu's family situation is not bad, otherwise how can he study in the United States, but compared with Samsung, it is really a small witch, after all, the economic revenue of Samsung Group accounts for 20% of the economic development of South Korea, and anyone who is poor compared with Samsung is insignificant.
Zhao Wenyu agreed to leave Li Yinxin's request, but he did not accept Li Jianxi's money, although he truly loved this simple and kind girl, and eventually could not resist the world's concept of abandoning Li Yinxin.
Li Yinxin did not know why Zhao Wenyu's attitude towards himself was becoming more and more cold, and he was determined to break up with her. In order to completely make Li Yinxin dead, Zhao Wenyu moved to another state far away from his girlfriend alone. Li Yinxin's bitter pleas never received Zhao Wenyu's change of heart.
Li Yinxin, who grew up in the greenhouse, is the flower in the greenhouse, she can't stand a little frustration, she lacks nothing but the most beautiful love. She didn't know that her father had privately found a boyfriend, and she always felt that it was her own reasons that caused the two sides to break up.
Li Yinxin was trapped by love, took a wire in the hotel and hanged herself, and died at the age of 26 and was in her youth. At the time of the funeral, Lee Kin-hee was receiving treatment in a foreign country and did not return to send her daughter on her last journey. Suicide in South Korea is a very shameful act, the vast majority of Koreans feel very humiliated, perhaps Lee Jianxi is for his own face, excuse not to come back abroad.
Li Jianxi's children do not allow themselves to worry about it, and he himself is also a variety of works in his old age, which can be said to be late and unsafe. Lee kin-hee is used to working from home and prefers to handle affairs in his villa. After a stroke gradually recovered, he called prostitutes in his home many times in a row, 3-5 times each time, one of them also recorded the video to blackmail him, and later reported by the Korean media, the Korean people were really shocked, but Lee Ken-hee's status in South Korea is difficult to shake, and the matter was finally over.
Lee Kin Hee buys spring at home
Lee spent his last few years in the group's hospital, where he fell into a coma for a long time before finally surviving the onslaught of illness and died at the age of 78.
Many of South Korea's political, economically strong and powerful people attended his funeral, and the coffin drove along the route of Samsung Enterprises to his hometown for burial.
The hearse route gathered a lot of South Korean people, and everyone spontaneously came to send this strongman on his last journey.
Samsung Group, under the leadership of Lee Jae-yong, did not create a glory comparable to his father, and Lee Jianxi devoted his life to the family business. Made in Korea has gained fame in the world economy because of the rise of the Samsung Group.
In his career, Li Jianxi is a well-deserved king, family life is indeed a dog blood, and his treatment of the clan is even more surprising, maybe no one is perfect........
