Text | Rice grain mother
When it comes to bloody horses, the palace fighting and rich grievances of the Korean chaebol family should be called second, and no one dares to call it first. And the No.1 dog blood in the chaebol family, Samsung is definitely the first to bear the brunt!
Koreans live without three things: death, taxes, and Samsung.
In the past two years, the death of Lee Kun-hee, the former chairman of Samsung, and who the heir of the group will spend is simply the most concerned topic for all Koreans after tea and dinner.
Writing here, the rice grain mother suddenly thought that Korean dramas are so bloody, is it because it comes from real life?
Two days ago, the news of the crown prince's father, Li Zaiyu, finally came out of the throne and took office as the president of the new generation of Samsung.
It is clear that he is a righteous "prince" and "eldest son", but he has been suffering for more than ten years, and he is threatened by his fierce rival sister Li Fuzhen "imperial throne" all day, and it is not easy for this prince to deserve it.
The day of his succession coincided with the second anniversary of the death of former president Lee Kun-hee.
Why did it take two years to take office? Because Lee Jae-yong was previously arrested and imprisoned for Park Geun-hye's "cronies interfering in politics" incident, and was arrested on charges of embezzlement and bribery, he was only recently released.
Miraculously, after only one year in prison, he was pardoned and reinstated. The reason is that both the political and business circles in South Korea strongly demanded that he be released and let him come out as the new president in order to save the Korean economy.
As a result, the prince who returned strongly went from being imprisoned to returning domineeringly, regaining the power of the family business and saving the country's economy from fire and water...
This is really a domineering president, and the screenwriter of Mr. East Eighth District hurriedly came to learn.
In fact, Li Zaiyong, who has been suffering for ten years, has never had a trace of relaxation in his thinking, his palace fighting IQ is still online, especially with a strong enemy like his sister Li Fuzhen around him, he himself is deeply involved in various scandals and scandals, and his life is not easy.
Overlord and his golden ex-wife
To talk about Lee Jae-yong, you have to talk about his father Lee Kun-hee.
Looking at the old man's appearance, his eyes were fierce, and he looked like the previous family palace fighting champion.
Indeed, Li Jianxi won the position in the family infighting, and at the beginning, he played all his tricks, and everyone can directly make up for the plot of large-scale imperial infighting including but not limited to "The Change of Xuanwumen" and "Nine Sons Seizing Concubines".
Compared with his father, Li Zaiyong was simply born in the "easy" mode, he is naturally the eldest son, and there are only three younger sisters below (one of whom died in infancy).
It can be said that his successor status is basically no suspense.
Li Zaiyong was raised according to the standard chaebol noble son line from an early age. He underwent to Seoul National University for an MBA, then went to Keio University in Japan, and then pursued a doctorate in business administration at Harvard Business School (though he did not graduate) in preparation for taking over the Samsung Group.
Horseback riding, golf, "imperial learning" power training, everything is standard for your son.
Early on, he was asked to dive into his company and factory to learn more about the whole operation, and as a teenager he listened to a few hours of briefings in his office building.
Often such a noble son especially wants to prove that he is not a straw bag with a golden soup spoon. The father of the palace fighting champion at that time, but just after becoming the heir, he founded the Samsung semiconductor division, which is still the pillar of Sanxing Group.
Of course, Lee hopes that he can be as strong as his father. To prove himself, he founded more than 10 Internet companies in just three months, but all of them fell into trouble.
After his father cleaned up the mess for him one by one, he was involved in a bribery case and had to resign as Samsung's chief commercial officer, which is also quite difficult to say.
In the years of being cultivated as a "prince", Li Zaiyu has achieved nothing and made no achievements, but he has not made any big mistakes.
It was such a relatively "mediocre" prince who should have naturally "inherited the reign and ascended the throne and became emperor", but ended up being involved in a bribery case of officials and was imprisoned.
However, the chaebol has a buff after all, and South Korean pollsters show that 77% of the public supports bail Lee Jae-yong, so he was released.
When he returned to Samsung, he quickly burned three fires: he went to meet the president of Mexico, went to inspect the local factory, canvassed for Busan's bid for the World Expo...
This is the modest growth story of the three-star prince. Not so earth-shattering, but especially "overlord" painting style.
Mi Li's mother had previously written the story of his ex-wife, Lin Shiling, who is also a Korean chaebol from a wealthy elephant syndicate.
As a giant in the Korean food industry, Lin Shiling and Samsung Prince Ye can be described as a strong combination and pearl combination.
In fairy tales, princes and princesses have lived happily ever after, but in reality, the plot of dog blood has just begun.
Like all women who "enter a wealthy family as deep as the sea", although Lin Shiling herself is also from a wealthy family, she cannot escape the fate of her husband and godson and seeing the face of her in-laws.
First, her mother-in-law forced her to drop out of school, her father-in-law had lung cancer, she had to accompany her throughout the whole process, go out to ask for instructions and reports, and also serve her husband's life with low eyebrows, and was scolded at every turn.
In the first half of her life, she was a little princess surrounded by nannies, married a wealthy family, and became a nanny herself...
What chilled her the most was that when her family business, the Elephant Group, encountered difficulties, her father faced 20 years in prison, and the Li family did not pull her at all, but fell into a rock.
I can't bear it, I don't need to bear it anymore, this crown princess doesn't do it!
The divorced Lin Shiling was reborn in nirvana and lived the appearance of the heroine of Shuangwen. Run the family business thrivingly, have both children and daughters, and love sweetly with Korean actors, can not be more moist!
Gongdou of the successor
Li's fierce rival in the palace fight is his eldest daughter Li Fuzhen. Her story is very legendary, and Mi Li's mother has written it before: "The battle of the heirs of the three-star empire: what does the beautiful "foul" eldest princess rely on to counterattack? 》。
As the eldest daughter of Qianjin, she combines intelligence and beauty, and her appearance hangs stars in the film and television industry in minutes.
She has always been expected to be highly expected and her every move is strictly demanded.
During the college entrance examination, she was admitted to Yonsei University, a top university in South Korea.
Yonsei University, along with Seoul National University and Korea University, is one of the three top universities in Korea.
Later, he also pursued an MBA from MIT.
Since the age of 21, Li Fuzhen has been taken by his father Li Jianxi to practice.
In 2001, she was assigned to the Samsung Edge business and started officially operating The Shilla Hotel.
It took 15 years to bring about the popularity of the Shilla Hotel, which was not popular at the beginning, and the turnover increased by more than 650%.
The Shilla has become one of the favorite hotels for political celebrities and a wedding destination for many celebrities. When the two songs were combined, the Shilla Hotel was chosen.
Li Fuzhen is bold and resourceful in his work, quick and accurate in killing, and he has quite Li Jianxi's demeanor.
In order to introduce Korea's first LV duty-free shop at Incheon Airport, she flew to France several times to negotiate until she succeeded.
After the successful introduction, the turnover of duty-free shops has become the main pillar of The Shilla Hotels' economy.
The Shilla Hotel's famous Michelin dish "Fairy Pot" was also planned by her.
Ability is the best hard fist, and her excellence makes the old executives in the Samsung Group bow their heads and submit.
In December 2010, she was promoted to head of The Shilla Hotels and Samsung Everland, making her the first female president of a Samsung company.
The tiger father has no dog daughter, and Li Jianxi's optimistic eldest daughter did not disappoint him after all.
This sister is definitely an opponent to be underestimated for Lee Jae-yong. But it is such a top Bai Fumei who actually stumbled in marriage and fell in love with his bodyguard Ren Youzai.
This time made his old father Li Jianxi so angry that he fainted, and first arranged for him to enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for further study, but Ren Youzai, who did not know anything about English, collapsed to the point of committing suicide twice in the face of academic pressure.
The disheartened old man thought about it, if you can't succeed in your studies, then take the practical route, in the end, you must be decent~
If it is the operation of a normal person, it should take the opportunity to counterattack and catch up. But Ren Youzai did not, but broke the jar and broke, exposing the nature of the scumbag.
Mother Mi Li sighed again, these two really did not take an ordinary road.
Without giving up his husband, he once again sent Ren Youzai to the general manager of the Japanese company.
As a result, none of the parachuted horses have mastery of their abilities or popularity, and they don't want to solve work problems and only complain to the uncle who is responsible for adjusting themselves every day.
After offending a circle of Japanese executives, Ren Yoo-jae was transferred back to South Korea to carry the slag to the end.
Alcoholism, tantrums, frequent cheating during pregnancy and a big fight against Li Fuzhen, who was in the pregnancy period.
Li Fuzhen finally realized that the difference between the two people is a bottomless chasm, which holds the two people firmly on both sides, and separation is the only ending.
After the divorce, Li Fuzhen ranked first on the list of Korean rich women, with a net worth of 1.6 billion US dollars, equivalent to 10.7 billion yuan, and was also listed among the 25 most influential business women in the Asia-Pacific region.
After Lee Jae-yong's arrest, Li Fuzhen once became the most anticipated candidate to take over Samsung. Therefore, it is indeed reasonable for Li Zaiyu to be jealous of her.
Compared with Li Fuzhen's shrewd and strong ability, the third sister Li Xuxian is much weaker. She studied design and has been managing Samsung's clothing company, and she has done a good job.
The company has become Korea's leading fashion company, and was later promoted to vice president of the group.
Although I don't know for what reason later, Li Xuxian resigned due to illness and hospitalization, and only became the director of a welfare foundation, and the power of the clothing company ran into the hands of his brother Li Zaiyu.
But Li Zaiyong has never let go of his guard against the third sister, and the strength of the two sisters cannot be underestimated, so he walks on thin ice every step.
No matter what, Li Zaiyu's body also sheds the blood of the "brotherly wall" innate with the children of the nobility.
He is committed to weakening the strength of his two sisters, and as soon as he took power, he sold several subsidiaries in charge of Samsung's two sisters, and let Samsung's companies hold shares in each other, in fact, the purpose was to let the two sisters check each other.
During the weak period when Li Fuzhen was in a mess of divorce, Li Zaiyu quietly completed his business layout. It has to be said that IQ is online. (Look at the picture below, the three brothers and sisters of the Li family have a total of 10,000 hearts and eyes)
Li Fuzhen has to deal with the divorced lion's ex-husband who has opened his mouth, and on the other hand, he has to see and trick his brother. It can be said that the heart is really tired.
As for Li Fuzhen's bodyguard husband Ren Youzai, Li Zaiyu looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. Not only did the entire Samsung family not look at him, but the prince himself did not have the slightest respect for him.
At that time, Ren Youjae was disliked by his family, he could not learn English, and the child did not meet his grandparents until he was 9 years old. Ren Youzai had no way to ask for help, so he could only ask for his eldest brother.
But Lee Jae-rong said a word that made the rice grain mother understand what it meant to "seem to have said, but it seems not to have been said."
He said:
"Get back to your original intention, and things will be solved."
Forehead...... All I can say is, is there anything more perfunctory than that?
Look at the third sister's husband, Kim Jae-yeol, is the second son of the "East Asia Daily" and Lee Jae-yong's middle school classmate. When he brought his classmates together with his third sister, he should have been careful in it.
Because of this layer of classmate affection, the third sister should not be too against herself. Therefore, the undercurrent between brothers and sisters has never stopped, and the "most ruthless imperial family" has always been the background color of the chaebol family.
The chaebol lady who cannot escape
The chaebol wives are all ruthless characters, and Li Zaiyong's mother Hong Luoxi is also an empress dowager-like existence.
She is the daughter of the chairman of Toyo Television, and she married Lee Kun-hee, the ruthless man of the palace fighting champion, and she is also a strong alliance.
Hong Luoxi was able to be the master of this family, control the core financial power, and assist her husband to finally win in the palace fight.
After 50 years of marriage, she has stood firm on her own strength, her husband died, her son was imprisoned, and it can be said that she is the head of the family business.
She inherited 33% of Li Jianxi's shares, and behind the absolute right to speak, there is bound to be a thunderball means.
Lee Kun-hee once famously said:
"Except for the wife and children can not be changed, the rest can be changed."
It can be seen how jealous he is of this lady of his own.
In front of his mother, Li Zaiyu is like a mother boy who obeys his words, and it can be seen from the original restriction of his daughter-in-law to study abroad and various suppression of his daughter-in-law, no one can resist the authority of this empress dowager.
When Li Zaiyu mentioned his mother, the "sense of Mabao" would overflow from the words:
"My mother told me to eat more vitamins, so I'm taking vitamin C now; Because I like beer, my mother told me not to drink too much. ”
Forehead...... Well, this oppression, I can also make up for how uncomfortable it is to be her daughter-in-law in minutes.
When Li Zaiyong was arrested, the old mother could not sleep all night, and the reason why her son was able to maintain a stable position was inseparable from his mother's eccentricity.
Some time ago, Li Zaiyong accompanied his mother to worship the Buddha and was photographed, which shows that Li Zaiyong is also very filial, and coaxing his mother to have everything.
The Empress Dowager supported her son's ascension to the throne, and at the moment when the old man Li Jianxi was hospitalized and lost consciousness, Hong Luoxi presided over the overall situation and directly convened a family meeting to convey this spirit:
"Samsung Group is in a difficult situation, so don't act rashly, but work well with Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong as the center."
As soon as the mother's words came out, basically the status of the son was inseparable.
Korean chaebol families have their own stories, but they have a similar background.
Behind the glitz, there is no temperature before the siblings and husband and wife parents weigh the pros and cons.
The women who survive in such an environment either live like Luo Hongxi and become the empress dowager with an iron fist; Either live to be Li Fuzhen and Lin Shiling, and live to be your own queen.
But emotion is not the best policy, because in such a "dynasty", affection is a luxury.
