On August 12, South Korean headquarters Yoon Seok-yue announced an amnesty, and the amnesty of one of them attracted attention.
He is Xin Dongbin, the head of Lotte Group, one of the parties to the Zhang Ziyan case that shook South Korea 11 years ago.
In 2009, South Korean artist Zhang Ziyan committed suicide at home because she could not bear the long-term sleeping service, and she exposed a list of 31 people who abused herself in her last words, and Xin Dongbin was impressive.
Exposed with Xin Dongbin, there is also his father Sin Gehao.
Xin Gehao, 87, and Xin Dongbin, 54, used inhuman means to play with 24-year-old Zhang Ziyan.
Zhang Ziyan wrote in her last words that she would not let go of these animals and beasts when she became a powerful ghost.
In the 13 years since Zhang Ziyan's death, 600,000 people have pleaded for her to ask the South Korean authorities to thoroughly investigate the cause of her death, but to no avail.
Just because the chaebol behind it only covers the sky with his hands, there is no bottom line. Not to mention the third-rate female star, who is his wife and children, is also said to be dumped.
The chaos of the Rakuten chaebol without a lower limit began with founder Shin Gehao.
In 1921, Shin Ge-ho was born in a small Korean village of more than 70 people, and was an authentic Korean.
At that time, Korean land was full of ill-intentioned Japanese who frantically plundered Korean resources and made Japanese a Korean Chinese in an attempt to assimilate ethnic Koreans.
In this environment, Shin Gehao deeply experienced the important impact of class and identity on his life, and was full of yearning for Japan, which has deep pockets.
In 1942, at the age of 21, Singer boarded a ship bound for Japan for 83 yen.
While studying chemistry at Waseda University, he worked various odd jobs to earn tuition.
At the age of 22, Sin Gehao completed the major event of starting a family, married the Korean Lu Shunhua, and soon gave birth to a daughter Shin Youngzi, although the life was hard, but the wife was very virtuous and lived a happy life.
However, Singhao was an ambitious man, and he was indeed good at observing words, and was soon favored by the pawnshop owner Hua Guangshi, where he worked.
At that time, the Pacific War had broken out and there was a serious shortage of military engine oil, and Hua Guangshi proposed to open an oil factory together and lent Singer 50,000 yen as start-up capital.
Singerhao, who got the money, started without stopping. Unexpectedly, just after the plant was built, a plane dropped a heavy object on the head, and the plant was completely destroyed.
Singhho glared at the sky fiercely, but he did not give up.
In 1945, after the war ended, Singer-ho, with the support of the Hua Guang clan, found four or five workers and started a soap and hair wax business.
This time, it took him more than a year to pay off all the money he owed to the Hua Guang clan.
At that time, Japan had been defeated, a large number of American troops were stationed in Japan, and the appearance of American soldiers chewing gum with their toes high attracted many people.
Singer knew that the opportunity had come.
In 1947, he hired a pharmacist, bought a dough cutting machine for chewing gum, and transformed the soap factory into a chewing gum factory.
In this way, the first company of the Rakuten Group officially debuted, chewing gum became very popular, and the young Shin Gehao became the general manager.
However, he always had a knot in his heart that made his success always have flaws.
Shing-ho is Korean, and in the eyes of the Japanese, this is a second-class citizen who is looked down upon.
Although Xin Gehao is already famous, without the resources of the upper echelons, his ambition is difficult to exercise.
Finally, one day, the long-sleeved and good dancing Xin Gehao met a woman with a rather difficult background.
Her name is Shigemitsu Hatsuko, formerly known as Takemori Hatsuko, is the niece of Japanese Finance Minister Shigemitsu Aoi, because she succeeded Shigemitsu Aoi, so she was renamed "Shigemitsu Hatsuko".
Shigemitsu Aoi was a great enemy of the Chinese people, who served as Japan's minister to China during the war of aggression against China, committed heinous crimes, and was designated a Class A war criminal by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East after the war and imprisoned in Sugamo Prison in Tokyo.
Protected by the United States and with a deep family background, Shigemitsu Aoi was released on parole after serving one year in prison and also served as Japan's deputy prime minister and foreign minister.
For Singhao, this is a godsend opportunity to change his identity.
So, he quickly divorced his wife and turned around and threw himself into the arms of Shigemitsu Hatsuko, who declared to the outside that his ex-wife was a good person, but he had no choice but to separate.
In 1950, Shin Gehao, who claimed to have found true love, married Chongguang Hatsuko.
In order to be a decent Japanese son-in-law, he also gave himself a Japanese name: Shigemitsu Takeo, and officially joined the Shigemitsu family.
Since then, Singer-ho has transformed into a Japanese high society, and no longer has to look at his face.
Five years after marriage, the two had two sons in a row: Xin Dongju (Japanese name Shigemitsu Hiroyuki) and Xin Dongbin (Japanese name Shigemitsu Akio), and the family of four lived a life of the powerful class in Japan.
With the resources of the Zhongguang family, Xin Gehao's chewing gum company, like himself, changed shotguns and climbed up the pole.
In just 10 years, the company's assets have increased 100 times, from a chewing gum company to a huge Lotte Group, and the industry has expanded to candy, hotels, chemicals, real estate and other fields.
The great success of the business community has deepened the roots of Shinghao's political and business circles in Japan.
The most widely rumored is that when Singhho's youngest son Shin Dongbin got married, former Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda, then Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi, and later Prime Minister Shinzo Abe all attended the wedding, and the scene was very popular.
In 1967, three years after the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and South Korea, the political situation in South Korea gradually stabilized.
At that time, South Korea's president, Park Chung-hee, vigorously developed the Korean economy and set the target of cooperation as Japan.
Seeing the opportunity again, Sing-ho decisively took his youngest son Shin Dong-bin back to South Korea.
Sure enough, the "Korean-Japanese businessman" Shin Geho was very popular. He invests as a Korean on the one hand, and receives tax incentives for foreigners as a Japanese on the other.
Not only that, Sing-ho also managed to attract the attention of Park Chung-hee and became a guest of the Blue House.
With the president as a backrest, Shinghao's development in South Korea is unimpeded, and in just over a decade, Lotte Group has become one of the five major chaebols in South Korea on a par with Samsung, Hyundai, LG and SK.
As we all know, South Korea is a country controlled by chaebols, and the top 10 chaebols account for 75% of South Korea's GDP. And Singhao sits on political and business resources, and is extremely popular, and even nearly three-quarters of the company's heads come from the government.
In South Korea, Shin Geho is seen as a model entrepreneur who started from scratch and achieved amazing results through hard work.
In fact, the powerful Singhho is not a quiet person at all.
His second wife, Shigemitsu Hatsuko, is old and decrepit, and has been living in Japan with her eldest son for many years.
At this time, a girl named Xu Meijing attracted Xin Gehao.
Born in 1959, Xu Meijing is the "Miss Lotte" beauty pageant champion, full of youth, ignited Sing's hormones, and the two soon mixed together.
Xin Gehao, who found his true love again, sent the company, luxury house, luxury car, spoiled Xu Meijing in a different way, and sent her to Japan for further study.
Xu Meijing is also a powerful character, less than two years later, she gave birth to a daughter Xin Youmei to the aged Xin Gehao, living in simplicity and becoming Xin Gehao's "Lady of the Box" with peace of mind.
It was not until more than 20 years later, because of a reason that she had to show her face, that Xu Meijing appeared in public.
In this way, Singhao curried favor with one wife and one concubine, and lived a life of "colorful flags fluttering outside, and the red flag at home not falling".
Unfortunately, Sin Gehao's true love is too cheap, and beauty pageant champion Xu Meijing failed to make him honest.
In 2011, Singhho's shocking scandal was exposed.
At that time, the 230-page letter left by Korean female artist Zhang Ziyan to her friend was dug up by the media.
In it, Zhang Ziyan wrote that she was forced by the brokerage company to accompany alcohol and provide male and female services, but in three years, she provided more than 100 services for 31 powerful people and was abused.
Among them, the grandfather's Xin Gehao and the uncle's Xin Dongbin are particularly striking, Zhang Ziyan is only 2 years older than Xin Gehao's youngest daughter, but the father and son are cruel and unbearable.
As a result, the whole of Korea was shaken, and the people exclaimed: The true face of the chaebol was exposed.
Singer-ho's inspirational personality collapsed overnight, but unfortunately the public's anger was only anger, and in the face of the South Korean court, Singer-ho was full of confidence to say "Who dares to mess with me" in Japanese.
However, there are people who dare to mess with him, such as his son.
South Korea is a country that believes in the succession of the eldest son, and this concept has also deeply influenced Shin Gehao, and in his heart, the top position of Lotte in the future will be reserved for the eldest son Shin Dongju.
In order to successfully achieve the goal, he carefully arranged everything: the eldest Xin Dong was in charge of Rakuten Japan, and the second eldest Xin Dongbin was in charge of South Korea's Rakuten, which is equivalent to the eldest son in charge of the headquarters and the younger son in charge of the branch.
However, South Korea's Lotte, managed by Xin Dongbin, has achieved 14 times the performance of the boss Xin Dongju in 10 years.
Xin Dongbin feels that the position of the number one should be who can be who can be on it, and it is clear that he is more "capable" than his brother.
On the other side, Lord Xin Dong saw that the second prince of the partial palace was thriving, and his achievements as the prince of the East Palace were mediocre, and the inheritance was in jeopardy, so he began to plan to kill the little prince.
In 2015, Xin Dongju began to secretly increase his stake in South Korea's Lotte, in an attempt to eat away at Xin Dongbin's territory step by step.
Unexpectedly, someone quietly told Xin Dongbin about this.
This is the handle sent to the door, Xin Dongbin turned around and went to find Xin Gehao, and sued the emperor with added fuel and vinegar: The eldest brother wants to usurp the throne and seize your rivers and mountains.
Singh was furious, he was still in power, how could he tolerate his son usurping the throne. So with a wave of his hand, he mercilessly removed his eldest son, Xin Dongju, from his post.
Overnight, Lord Xin Dong changed from the crown prince of the East Palace to a commoner who had nothing. He immediately found his half-sister, Xin Yingzi, and the two formed an alliance and quietly collected Xin Dongbin's guilt.
Six months later, he presented it to Singer-Ho.
When Xin Gehao saw it, he was not angry, this little son was even more excessive, he actually crossed the sea in secret, and quietly replaced the old ministers of Korea Lotte with his own people, this is not what usurpation is!
So he waved his hand again and ordered his youngest son Xin Dongbin to be relieved of all posts.
Seeing that Lord Xin Dong was about to raise his eyebrows and puff out his breath to re-ascend the crown prince's throne, he did not expect that an even bloody reversal would come.
The youngest son invited his mother, Shigemitsu Hatsuko.
Chongguang Chuzi once helped Singhao from a nobody, and can be said to be the biggest nobleman in Singhhao's life.
Without her, Xin Gehao would probably still be in the chewing gum business. But now, he was ruthlessly abandoned by this man and became a laughingstock.
This time, the historic choice once again fell on Shigemitsu Hatsuko.
She did not relent at all, and used the resources of Japanese politics and business to send Shangfang sword to her youngest son Xin Dongbin.
Xin Dongbin confidently announced at the board that his father's order to remove him from his position was invalid.
Not only that, he did not stop doing anything, and directly passed a resolution of the board of directors to remove Singh Ho Lotte from the position of president and re-named this old man as an "honorary president".
This means that Sin Gehao is no longer the number one of Lotte, and Shin Dongbin directly replaced him and took over the Lotte Empire.
Singhao was trembling with anger, and he viciously threw down a sentence: I will never forgive Xin Dongbin in this life.
At the same time, the fiasco of Xin Dongju never dreamed that he would be killed by his own mother, angry and aggrieved, shouting at the Korean reporter that his brother was making trouble, and as a result, he directly buried his opportunity to turn over the table completely with a mouth.
At that time, it was the 70th anniversary of the victory of the world anti-fascist war, and the anti-Japanese sentiment of the South Korean people was intense.
Lord Xin Dong didn't know Korean at all, and his full mouth of Japanese directly stung the people, and people broke out in a tidal roar, shouting: Han traitor, get out!
The image of the Lotte Group also fell to the bottom.
This palace fighting drama, which is called a shocking melon by Koreans, ended with Singe-ho being kicked out, Lotte's reputation plummeting, and the family has been split ever since.
There is an old saying: the bigger the family business, the thicker the virtue is needed to support it.
The Lotte family, who came out of the palace fighting drama, seemed to have exhausted their virtues. The new head Xin Dongbin has not yet sat in the hot head position, and a series of scandals have come to the door.
In 2016, then-President Park Geun-hye decided to deploy THAAD at US military bases in South Korea in order to curry favor with the United States, and Shin Dong-bin prepared to provide land for THAAD systems.
Once this happens, the mainland's national defense and security will be seriously threatened.
As soon as the news came out, the "boycott of Lotte" activities broke out throughout the country, and in just three months, more than 70 Lotte stores closed, and the investment in China was almost lost, with a direct loss of up to 40 billion yuan.
Complete one's misery.
Since 2016, South Korean prosecutors have launched a comprehensive investigation into the Lotte family on charges of embezzlement, dereliction of duty, embezzlement, tax evasion, bribery, and leakage of national wealth.
Singhao, who has always been smooth, began to be summoned frequently.
The procuratorate even dispatched nearly 200 people to conduct a lightning raid on the Lotte Group building and some high-rise private residences, directly taking away computer hard disks and some important written materials.
Then, a dramatic scene unfolded.
In March 2017, the torn Lotte family came together for the first time, and Shin and his three children appeared in court to stand trial.
Xu Meijing, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, also had to show her face and stand in front of the judgment stand together.
The whole family was tried, a spectacle unprecedented in Korea, and the people of all Korea enjoyed watching the show.
Unexpectedly, the scene in the courtroom was even more exciting.
Citing his age, Singhao denied all allegations and pushed the blame clean.
The two sons did not admit it, although they had made a fuss before, but this time they were surprisingly consistent, pushing all the charges to their father Singhao, and they all said that the bad things Singhao did had nothing to do with themselves.
96-year-old Singhho sat in a wheelchair so angrily that he banged his crutches and roared hoarsely in Japanese: Lotte is mine, who dares to judge me!
The people at the scene looked at each other and dropped their jaws in shock.
It was not until October 2019 that the case ushered in a final judgment, and Shin Dongbin was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months, suspended for 4 years, on suspicion of paying 7 billion won in bribes. Shin Ge-ho was suspected of illegal business operations, sentenced to three years in prison and fined 3 billion won.
However, because the Public Prosecutor's Office determined that Singer Hao had advanced Alzheimer's disease, he was sentenced to six months outside prison, but the execution was limited to the Lotte Hotel and Hospital.
Three months later, on January 19, 2020, 99-year-old Singhho passed away in Seoul, leaving an estate of 1 trillion won (about 5.92 billion yuan).
This money, Xin Dongbin divided 41.7%, Xin Yingzi 33.3%, Xin Dongju 25%, and the youngest daughter of "Lady of the Box" Xu Meijingsheng Xin Yumei did not get a penny.
The name of the Lotte Group means a very good thing.
At that time, the young and fashionable Singhhorn liked a book - "The Troubles of Young Werther ", the heroine of the book Charlotte is pure, perfect and enthusiastic.
Singhao was touched by this beautiful woman, so he named his company "Lotte".
At that time, he still retained his yearning for a better life in the future.
But with the expansion of money and power, Singer Hao lost himself in the vanity fair of the sound of the dog and horse.
In his life, playing with power tricks and women, in the end, power fell by the wayside, everyone rebelled and left, even if he has hundreds of billions of family wealth, he lives to the age of 99, I am afraid that his heart is more uncomfortable than death!
Without virtue, no matter how big the family business, it will one day be planted in the hands of your own people.
The Heavenly Dao is a good reincarnation, and I also hope that Zhang Ziyan's case will be solved one day.
