After 4 years of Liu Qiangdongmingzhou's case, it unexpectedly ushered in a settlement finale, which caught many netizens who followed the drama by surprise. Because they never showed signs of reconciliation. In 2018, Liu Qiangdong was arrested by the US side for allegedly violating female college student Liu Jingyao, and the news instantly shocked the whole network. 2018 is the year of Liu Qiangdong's water reversal, and the market value has been cut down miserably, shrinking by more than 50%, which is a robbery. Liu Qiangdong can develop Jingdong into today's e-commerce giant, and his strength cannot be underestimated. He himself successfully counterattacked from a poor boy to a billionaire billionaire. It is said that there are always women behind successful men who make him stronger, and the four women behind Liu Qiangdong are very critical. Each one changed his life, and each one played an important role in his life. Including Liu Jingyao, the party in the Mingzhou case who let him sink into the whirlpool of public opinion, he finally achieved him, why do you say so? Next, we will talk about the four women who made Liu Qiangdong's life take a turn.
In 1973, Liu Qiangdong was born in a rural area in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, his family was poor, he wanted to get ahead of the crowd from a young age, wanted to change his destiny, he studied hard and was admitted to Chinese University, becoming the first college student in the village. It was also in this university that Liu Qiangdong met Gong Xiaojing. Gong Xiaojing is a "big lady" from a wealthy family, beautiful and knowledgeable, and is also a master's degree student at Renmin University. Compared with Gong Xiaojing, who has been engaged in politics for three generations, Liu Qiangdong is just a poor boy, and he does not dare to think about that at all. After graduating from university in 1996, Liu Qiangdong entered a foreign company, where he learned about logistics, computers and business, which laid a solid foundation for his later creation of JD.com. In 1998, Liu Qiangdong began his entrepreneurial road, in fact, selling CDs on the side of the road, and it was during this entrepreneurial period that he and Gong Xiaojing established a romantic relationship, and even reached the point of private life.
Once they met a fortune teller on the road, and the fortune teller said to Liu Qiangdong, is this your girlfriend? She has a very good look. Liu Qiangdong glanced at Gong Xiaojing and felt that his good fortune really began to tilt towards him after knowing her. Jingdong is the last word taken from the names of Gong Xiaojing and Liu Qiangdong. At that time, no one expected that twenty years later, Jingdong would grow into a domestic e-commerce giant. However, with the interaction, the gap between the two in the growth environment led to their contradictions. In 2003, Gong Xiaojing finally left him under the persuasion of his parents, and Liu Qiangdong's first love came to an end.
The breakup of the two did not affect each other's importance. Gong Xiaojing was summoned back to Liu Qiangdong in 2015. At that time, Liu Qiangdong was already married to Zhang Zetian, the "milk tea sister". This operation makes some people unable to understand. But everyone in the industry knows that the business world is "in business", and the private feelings of men and women are ignored. Gong Xiaojing's ability Liu Qiangdong knows best. She is now Vice President of Public Affairs Strategy at JD.com, managing the company's related affairs. Therefore, Gong Xiaojing has a deep significance for Liu Qiangdong and Jingdong.
In 2006, Mr. Liu had a son, but the child's mother was an unnamed woman. Liu Qiangdong may have had a brief marriage with her. On July 15, 2012, Liu Qiangdong posted tomatoes on his balcony on Weibo; 11 minutes later, Zhuang Jia, director of Jingdong's small home appliance procurement and marketing, also posted a tomato photo on Weibo. The tomatoes in the pictures sent by the two are the same, and the "Tomato Gate" is opened. The operation of the two instantly attracted speculation from the outside world, and given Zhuang Jia's identity at that time, everyone thought that there was an improper relationship between them. Liu Qiangdong responded at an industry event: Tomato doors are definitely not a kind of marketing, but a kind of helplessness. He said that he and Zhuang Jia were in love, and there was no improper relationship speculated by netizens.
Zhuang Jia is Liu Qiangdong's publicly admitted girlfriend, which can be regarded as an office romance. In 2010, Jingdong's business slowly improved, and Liu Qiangdong himself became famous, when Zhuang Jia was just an intern of Jingdong, and later Liu Qiangdong transferred Zhuang Jia to the Beijing headquarters and became the procurement and sales director of the Jingdong Small Home Appliance Marketing Department. Once Liu Qiangdong was ill and hospitalized, Zhuang Jia took good care of him after saddling the horse, so the relationship between the two quickly warmed up. It wasn't until 2012 that my colleague discovered that the two were in love. In the 3 years of love, Zhuang Jia has been helping Liu Qiangdong take care of work and life affairs, which is also a great help to Liu Qiangdong. But after Liu Qiangdong announced the relationship, the outside world's public opinion about them not only did not decrease, but increased. Under the pressure of many parties, Liu Qiangdong ended his relationship with Zhuang Jia three years later.
In 2013, Liu Qiangdong met Zhang Zetian, an Internet celebrity "milk tea sister", while studying at Columbia University. In April 2014, he publicly announced his relationship with Zhang Zetian on Weibo. The marriage was registered on 8 August 2015. But before receiving the license, Liu Qiangdong had advanced his salary of 2.65 billion yuan for 10 years in advance, cleverly turning the money into premarital property. For the next 10 years, only one dollar of salary will be received per year.
Liu Qiangdong is really a shrewd businessman, first protecting his own property, and then letting this little wife make money for himself. Since then, Zhang Zetian has become the largest IP of JD.com. Every year "6.18" and "11.11", other platforms spend a lot of time to find celebrity endorsements to create momentum, and Jingdong only needs to lift "Jingdong Lady" Zhang Zetian out and immediately put it on the hot search. Zhang Zetian became the big IP of JD.com. Because of her, JD.com saves hundreds of millions of dollars a year in advertising. So there is a saying in the industry: "Milk tea sister single-handedly defeated the entire marketing department of Alibaba." Zhang Zetian used his own traffic to give greater energy to the increasingly huge Jingdong Empire.
Before August 30, 2018, the Jingdong couple also sketched a beautiful and happy life picture in front of the world. Luxurious life, successful husband, beautiful wife, lovely children. But when he woke up the next day, the rich husband made headlines all over the world! Public opinion changed day by night, Liu Qiangdong and international student Liu Jingyao's one-night affair, some people think that the immortals jump, some people think that the money has not been negotiated, in short, no matter what, Liu Qiangdong's derailment is solid. Zhang Zetian changed from "milk tea" to "matcha tea".
Liu Qiangdong admitted to cheating on social platforms, but he did not admit to worse allegations beyond cheating. After that, he and JD.com got into a whirlpool, and JD.com's stock price fell by 30% in a month after the accident. Along with him, he was also caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, and the milk tea sister. So everyone was watching and speculating whether Zhang Zetian would file for divorce. In the event of divorce, the milk tea sisters can only get half of their common property is 5 yuan. Just when everyone was anxious and holding a lively attitude, Jingdong's wife Zhang Zetian only used seven words to respond to this storm.
Zhang Zetian chose to forgive after being green, and then he was listed on the list of 500 rich people in the 2020 New Fortune, and the couple ranked 31st together, with a wealth value of up to 58.4 billion yuan, and Zhang Zetian became the youngest billionaire woman in the list! Everything is the result of weighing the pros and cons, why should a sale be more real, and when the money can be clearly stated, don't talk about feelings. Some netizens said that "she is a wise move and a helpless move", Zhang Zetian chose a man like Liu Qiangdong, choosing such a life, which means that she has to go through countless tests and trade-offs along the way, and her husband's cheating is just one of them.
In 2019, Liu Jingyao filed a civil lawsuit against Liu Qiangdong, and also sued the entire Jingdong Group in court. Claim at least $50,000 for mental damages, not capped. In 2022, Zhang Zetian came to the United States with a big belly to accompany her husband to fight a lawsuit. Liu Qiangdong invited the top lawyers in the United States, which is said to be as high as 20,000 US dollars in one hour. However, a sudden settlement was reached. The joint statement said that four years ago, due to a misunderstanding caused by "a fortuitous incident", in order to avoid further extending the harm of the lawsuit, the two parties agreed to set aside their differences and resolve the legal dispute to avoid further pain and suffering caused by the litigation. Liu Jingyao and her lawyer no longer have any comments on the case. It can be seen that in the end, Liu Jingyao and the settlement fund cannot be only 50,000 US dollars, after all, it is only Liu Qiangdong's lawyer fee for two and a half hours. This caught many netizens who followed the drama by surprise, saying that if they could reconcile, why not reconcile early?
After more than 4 years, the case finally came to an end. Liu Qiangdong then responded to the outside world, and the matter of entanglement for four years is finally over today! He apologized to all the people who were troubled by this incident, especially his wife, and thanked her for her tolerance, support and companionship, and officially announced the good news that they will have a second child, and he will cherish and protect the family even more. Immediately after Zhang Zetian posted a response: There are always storms in life, but time always moves forward. Some netizens responded that "it is time forever to money".
Now Liu Qiangdong has gradually drifted away from Jingdong. He once said that he would not retire until he was 65 years old, and now he has quietly stepped down as a director. He also once said that if he couldn't control JD.com, he would rather take the money and leave. After the Kemingzhou case, he has been reduced to the company's stock a little bit. The era of JD.com, which belongs to him, has ended! He also successfully cashed out $6.6 billion, and it has been rumored that they bought a $560 million mansion in the Mediterranean. If there is no Mingzhou case in 2018, Liu Qiangdong may not have thought of quitting the front-line management, and now that there are so many accidents in the rich businessman, maybe the next one will be his turn. Through the Mingzhou case, Liu Qiangdong successfully cashed out low-key withdrawal and re-naturalized life, which was also a blessing in disguise. In this way, all the women have achieved him, including this woman named Liu Jingyao, who may have secretly helped him.
