A generation of business wizards ended up like this
Recently, there was a murder case in the United States where a Chinese boss was stabbed to death in his own company, and the police have not yet found a suspect.
The 49-year-old Chinese boss, who employs 4 employees and sells some Jingdezhen porcelain in the store, died in the company on the 20th, and his body and head were all stabbed! Netizens have speculated: This is a vendetta caused by a business dispute?
The case is still under investigation, and the details will not be known until the case is solved. However, today, another Chinese CEO murder case has more updates - the death of Chinese billionaire and shoe king Xie Jiahua, the lawyer broke the news: Xie Jiahua in the last few months of his life, living in a miserable environment where people around him used him to weaken his spirit and take advantage of the opportunity to exploit.
In the United States, billionaire Xie Jiahua was once known to everyone, and he could be called the light of the Chinese.
As the founder of Zappos' shoe-selling website, his success has been repeatedly used as a business case study. Worth 800 million, but living in a motorhome with a dog and living a very different life.
At the end of 2020, while staying at a friend's house, he was seriously injured in a bizarre fire and died in the hospital.
There were too many suspicious places at the scene, such as after the fire, almost all the other parts of the mansion were intact, and only the warehouse where Xie Jiahua lived was burned to slag.
A rescue worker at the scene said that when the fire broke out, Xie Jiahua was locked inside the house, while everyone else was outside.
The next media also exposed the dark side of this well-known billionaire, unknown -
For example, he was addicted to laughing gas during his lifetime and had problems with alcohol at the same time.
It sounds like billionaires are "doing" themselves to death.
But just recently, some of the lawyers' revelations have made people know more "secret things", making the death of the billionaire more unusual...
On September 16, lawyer Tse Ka-wah said in his latest documents to the court: "In the months leading up to his death, Tse Ka-hwa's mental and physical condition deteriorated rapidly, he developed symptoms of paranoia and delusion, he was unable to make reasonable judgments about his health and business affairs, and he was vulnerable to exploitation." ”
The lawyer pointed out that Xie Jiahua's credit limit soared to 250 million yuan due to a series of transactions. The transactions included a $2.2 million payment to a former lawyer, a $7.5 million "financial advisory service fee" to one man, a $30 million "houseboat bar and ice castle operating fee" to another man, and the purchase of the Zappos headquarters property for $40 million above market capitalization.
In addition, the lawyer also said that two of Tse Ka-hua's "confidants", Connie Yeh and Chrissie Yim, doubled their salaries and gave themselves a large number of bonuses, resulting in a serious negative cash position for Tse Ka-hwa's property.
Records also show that someone has entered the payroll system to raise their wages.
Jennifer, a former assistant to Mr. Tse, said Mr. Tse had established Connie as his agent since October 2017. Lawyers point out that a few months after Mr. Tse's death, Connie and Chrissie also exported millions of yuan from Mr. Tse's account to himself.
"I just don't know what is real and what is not." Just a few weeks before Mr. Xie's death, he was taken to the emergency room, where he said he was "crystallizing" and that he seemed delusional.
What happened to a generation of business wizards during their lifetime? Why did it come to such tragic consequences when "success and fame"?
According to current reports, the culprits may be alcohol and drugs, but the interpersonal encounters during this period are equally lamentable.
In the period before his death, Xie Jiahua's colleagues said he could suck out up dozens of bottles of laughing gas a day.
He also loves grey goose vodka, which his colleagues say is Xie Jiahua's "best friend."
According to Dailymail, Xie has also tried using hallucinogenic mushrooms and ecstasy.
In terms of relationships, Xie Jiahua did not disclose his girlfriend before his death, but after his death, an actress and artist exposed to the media a relationship between her and Xie Jiahua, who did not seem to be addicted to drugs or alcohol at that time, and the whole person still looked very spiritual.
I don't know why, this relationship ended up without a problem.
In another media report, it was rumored that Xie Jiahua also had a soul mate, Rachael Brown, a Zappos employee.
The sea-view villa that Xie Jiahua "borrowed" when he had an accident belonged to Rachel.
One theory is that he had "sunk" to the point where only Rachel was willing to take him in.
But there are also records that he has never bought real estate and is accustomed to living in an RV, and he suddenly bought about 70 million yuan of real estate shortly before his death, several of which were lived by his friends.
Property records also show that a company under Mr. Tse's name also bought Holmstead Ranch, a ranch in a Utah resort, along with a vacation cabin, a lake and an amphitheater. The purchase price is unknown.
In addition, the main property of real estate is a 17,350-square-foot mansion with a private lake, which he bought for about 16 million yuan.
Lived in an RV for most of my life, suddenly bought real estate, and was still living with friends, but I lived in the warehouse of my soul mate's home.
This wave of operations is probably not something that ordinary people can understand...
Ivanka was a close friend of Xie Jiahua, and after Xie's death, she sent a special message of mourning
Was it his own decision or was it an operation carried out by someone who took advantage of his drug addiction?
The estate lawsuit is still ongoing, and there may be more "insiders" in the future.
However, a good business wizard finally ended up with such a fate, and after his death, the people around him fought endlessly for the inheritance of 840 million, which is really regrettable!
