"When the career is successful, the actress is accompanied; when the career is at a low point, the wife and child are separated"
The most profound understanding of this sentence should be Li Houlin, in his career success, young and more gold will meet 3 actresses, but at the moment when his company is on the verge of bankruptcy, everyone seems to avoid it, and the actress he married also divorced him.
Zhou Yanhong, Qin Hailu and then Li Xiang, these actresses were once the companion actresses of Li Houlin's career at the peak, and the last three actresses also broke up with Li Houlin for various reasons.
From being proud of his youth, having made friends with many well-known actresses, to the brink of bankruptcy and marriage breakdown of the enterprise, to the comeback and regain his billionaire, Li Houlin's life experience is indeed like a roller coaster full of excitement.
And it is precisely because of these experiences that Li Houlin seems to have found his true self and understood what he really wants to pursue.
01
Born in Tianjin in 1973, Li Houlin graduated from the Department of Business Administration of Peking University.
Li Houlin rarely reveals his growth experience in public places, but it is certain that Li Houlin is a very business-minded person.
In 1996, Li Houlin was just 23 years old, and he had already driven a car just after graduating from college, or the Lexus 400, which was called a luxury car at that time.
According to Li Houlin's self-statement, he has been doing gold business for a long time before making jewelry and diamonds, and it is probably certain that the principal accumulated by operating gold should be the starting capital of Li Houlin's subsequent operation of the diamond business.
In 1999, Li Houlin officially intervened in the diamond jewelry industry, and his own statement was "hoping to make a diamond brand".
At that time, the capital that Li Houlin could use was about 50 million, which was not a small number at the tail end of the 1990s, but although the principal was quite a lot and he also had experience in making gold, Li Houlin still needed to break the monopoly situation of the two "giants" of the jewelry industry at that time, namely Chow Tai Fook and Xie Ruilin, two established jewelry companies as soon as possible.
The jewelry industry pays attention to the accumulation of history, and the establishment of each famous brand takes at least a few decades to precipitate, but Li Houlin only has 50 million, which is really not much compared to the two established jewelry companies.
Therefore, if Li Houlin wants to rise rapidly, he can only find another shortcut.
At the time, Chow Tai Fook and Tse's expansion model was to open more branches, and the two established jewelry companies believed that such a spread out of the stalls would "send diamonds to the closest place to the customer", that is, each branch could bring about an increase in turnover.
But Mr. Li was dismissive of the two companies' business models, saying, "How many times can an ordinary person buy a diamond in a lifetime?" It's time to buy diamond jewelry who cares about the distance."
In Li Houlin's business philosophy, distance is never a necessary condition for jewelry store sales, because jewelry is a luxury consumption, and most diamond buyers prefer to run farther and find a reliable jewelry store.
Li Houlin found a way to break the game according to this strategy, that is, to build a "diamond palace" to promote his diamond brand.
At that time, most of Chow Tai Fook and Xie Ruilin's sales stores were only a few tens of square meters, but Li Houlin chose to spend more than 10 million rents to rent a 1200 square meter store in Beijing Oriental Plaza, and in order to build a brand, Li Houlin used more than 2/3 of the area for diamond culture, and the remaining 3/1 was used for jewelry and diamond sales.
Li Houlin's trick may seem very "bad street" now, but it is a very novel marketing method in the 90s, and it is not surprising that Li Houlin's "diamond palace" did cause quite a stir in Beijing at that time, and Hengxin Diamond also quickly gained a foothold in Beijing and opened up the situation.
And not only that, Li Houlin has also won the recognition of more international diamond dealers with this idea, and he has also received more financial support.
Not long after, Li Houlin began to replace the diamond mine in South Africa and set up a diamond processing plant, and "Hengxin Diamond" also opened four stores in China, each of which is more than a thousand square meters.
At this point, Li Houlin can also be regarded as a "successful career".
02
With a successful career, Li Houlin's money is not lacking, so finding a "confidant with a red face" has become Li Houlin's pursuit.
At that time, Li Houlin was less than thirty years old, and his natural vision was also high at a young age, and vulgar fans could not enter his eyes, he thought that since he wanted to pursue a confidant with a red face, he had to pursue those beautiful and famous female stars.
Li Houlin's first target is Zhou Yanhong.
Young people may not have heard of the name Zhou Yanhong, but this actress was quite popular in the 90s, when Zhou Yanhong's songs such as "Spring Warm Blossoms" and "Marry a Gray Wolf" have long been popular all over the country, and many young people can casually say a few words.
In 2000, Li Houlin, who was not too short of money at this time, heard that Zhou Yanhong was going to Tianjin to hold a concert, and he planned to get acquainted with Zhou Yanhong at the concert.
After the concert, Li Houlin asked his friends to get Zhou Yanhong's contact information, and then he began to pursue him.
Young and golden, but also willing to spend money for Zhou Yanhong, Li Houlin is not bad looking, this kind of "high-quality" man really not many people can resist the pursuit.
Not surprisingly, it didn't take long for Zhou Yanhong to "fall" under Li Houlin's "banknote" ability.
After Zhou Yanhong and Li Houlin were together, Zhou Yanhong quickly substituted herself into the identity of "Mrs. Li", not only did she do her best to help Li Houlin improve her career, but also used her fame to advertise for Li Houlin's company outside, spoke for Hengxin Diamond for free, and launched her own network to introduce many major customers to Li Houlin.
Judging from Zhou Yanhong's help to Li Houlin, it is certain that Zhou Yanhong fell in love with this "Diamond King Old Fifth", but this also laid the groundwork for Zhou Yanhong's later tragedy.
When Zhou Yanhong was deeply trapped in Li Houlin's love, he did not hesitate to go east and west for his career, thinking that he could become a dutiful "Mrs. Li", but he did not know that Li Houlin's love for him was only out of hormones, and when this love lost its freshness, zhou Yanhong and Li Houlin's separation became a foregone conclusion.
Less than three years later, Li Houlin and Zhou Yanhong came with the news of the formal breakup, and the two declared that they were "inappropriate personalities", but everyone knew that the real reason was that Li Houlin was "tired" and planned to find a more "fresh" actress.
This time, Li Houlin set his sights on Qin Hailu.
Qin Hailu has been learning art since she was a child, and in 2000, she won the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Film Award for Best Actress with "Durian Fluttering", which was also a popular feature in China at that time.
Young and beautiful and more famous than Zhou Yanhong, Li Houlin immediately fell in love with Qin Hailu, and then launched the previous set of stalking methods against Zhou Yanhong.
Not surprisingly, Qin Hailu also failed to block the pursuit of this young and handsome "Wang Laowu".
And this time Li Houlin seems to be coming to the truth, and he and Qin Hailu openly proposed to him less than half a year later, and specially prepared a diamond ring composed of 50 colored diamonds for Qin Hailu to propose to him.
According to Li Houlin, 50 colored diamonds represent 50 years of golden marriage.
Qin Hailu faced such a marriage proposal scene, as well as Li Houlin's 50-year golden marriage promise, he was immediately extremely moved and almost agreed to it on the spot.
Fortunately, qin Hailu's sister's reminder later, after all, they had known each other for less than a year, and they had to think about it more, and Qin Hailu calmed down.
Li Houlin's marriage proposal was temporarily shelved by Qin Hailu on the pretext of developing a career, but Qin Hailu was still moved by this, but he was just struggling with the choice of career and marriage, and whether to agree to Li Houlin so quickly.
But soon Qin Hailu did not have to struggle, on July 21, 2004, Qin Hailu flew back to Beijing, and qin Hailu received a parting text message from Li Houlin as soon as the plane landed, and Qin Hailu could not accept it for a while.
After all, the man who recently promised to marry for 50 years broke up with you like this, and no one could accept it at once, Qin Hailu recalled this experience when he later participated in the "Venus Show" and said bluntly that "it has not eased up for a long time."
Why did Li Houlin break up with Qin Hailu? The answer is that there is another "new huan", and this time Li Houlin has taken a fancy to Li Xiang.
Over there, Qin Hailu was still immersed in the pain of breaking up and couldn't extricate herself, and the wedding of Li Houlin and Li Xiang was already in full swing.
On January 2, 2005, Li Houlin and Li Xiang held a wedding in Beijing, and it took only 1 month and 3 days for the two to get married, and many female friends around Li Xiang were also envious of her finding a good husband.
After the two got married, the couple of Wang Laowu and the female star was also extremely sweet in the eyes of others, Li Xiang specially quit all his jobs, and occasionally showed love on the show, and the rest of the time was at ease when she was "a rich and broad wife".
And Li Houlin is not bad for Li Xiang, and even in order to express his love for Li Xiang to the national audience, Li Houlin specially spent a lot of money to record a video on "Lu Yu Has a Date", and Li Houlin was not afraid of meat and hemp in the video: "Xiang Xiang, I love you more and more." ”
When Li Xiang heard Li Houlin's confession in front of the national audience, he was naturally moved to tears, and at the end of the program, Li Houlin also specially promised Li Xiang: "No one will joke about the happiness of their life." ”
The meaning of Li Houlin's words is very clear, that is, his feelings for Li Xiang are serious, and there is no joking meaning.
His words are estimated to make Zhou Yanhong and Qin Hailu laugh when they hear it, and the reality is indeed just like the audience thinks, and it is not long before the marriage between the two has become a "joke" again.
In 2006, li houlin company because of the economic downturn and poor management, once came out of bankruptcy news, for a time people panicked.
When it came, on November 22, Li Xiang admitted on his blog that he had broken up with Li Houlin, but the reason was explained in detail.
But we all know that it is related to the fact that Li Houlin's enterprise is on the verge of bankruptcy, after all, if you want to say how deep a relationship of getting married after only knowing each other for more than 30 days is, who will believe it?
After the two separated, in fact, there was no less fuss, and after the divorce, Li Houlin and Li Xiang tore up, saying: "Any woman on the street is stronger than Li Xiang!" ”
And Li Xiang's response is actually very interesting, for Li Houlin's air-to-air scolding not only did not have a half-angry look, every time others on the variety show mentioned this matter, she would play a haha very flexible explanation "the two are peacefully broken up."
Is Li Xiang really generous or weak-minded?
The marriage of Li Xiang and Li Houlin may really have a "love" factor in one place, but the monetary factor is definitely greater than the feelings of both parties.
After the two sides got married, Li Xiang found out that Li Houlin's bankruptcy could not give her the life she wanted, and it was not a strange thing to abandon him!
03
In the first two relationships, Li Houlin hurt Zhou Yanhong and Qin Hailu because of empathy, while the third relationship Li Houlin was completely hurt by Li Xiang.
This seems to be a causal cycle!
Zhou Yanhong suffered from depression after breaking up with Li Houlin, and her career also went downhill because of depression.
What's more pitiful is that Zhou Yanhong often has to go in and out of the hospital to use hormone drugs because of depression, and her body is also plagued by diseases, even if in recent years she has broken up with Li Houlin for almost twenty years, Zhou Yanhong still has to often go in and out of the hospital, and large and small diseases are always around her.
After so much time, Zhou Yanhong seems to have not been able to get rid of the old wound of breaking up with Li Houlin, and she is still unmarried.
It can be said that among the three actresses who interacted with Li Houlin, Zhou Yanhong was definitely the one who was hurt the most by him, and should also be the one with the deepest affection among the three.
And Zhou Yanhong still excused Li Houlin when he was interviewed, "The responsibility for the problems in our feelings is not entirely in him."
I have to let people feel the depth of Zhou Yanhong's feelings for Li Houlin, and it is precisely because of falling in love with Li Houlin that Zhou Yanhong will be injured all over his body.
Qin Hailu should be much luckier than Zhou Yanhong, although she was sad for a long time after separating from Li Houlin, fortunately, her career was still developing steadily, and she did not completely disappear into the public's vision like Zhou Yanhong.
Then in 2014, Qin Hailu married the actor Wang Xinjun, and she completely got rid of her love injuries and started her new life.
And the last thing to say is Li Xiang, she is also the only one of the three women who have interacted with Li Houlin to enter the marriage hall with him.
Li Xiang has a high emotional intelligence, and after divorcing Li Houlin, he played the emotional card, so that public opinion almost fell to her side, plus Li Houlin once had a black history of interacting with many women, so Li Xiang almost won a big victory in public opinion.
Not long after the two divorced, Li Xiang met the director Wang Yuelun again, and the two soon married and gave birth to a daughter, Wang Shiling.
Nowadays, Li Xiang should also be the happiest of the three, often basking in his daughter on social platforms and participating in some variety shows from time to time to show his sense of existence.
04
It is also magical to say that during the period of divorce with Li Xiang, Li Houlin's company was indeed on the verge of bankruptcy, perhaps after divorcing Li Xiang, he completely accepted his heart.
After returning to his career, Li Houlin made a comeback not long after and successfully saved his company on the verge of bankruptcy.
After li houlin succeeded again, perhaps he was hurt and scared by Li Xiang, completely put away his thoughts, and never had any rumors with any female stars, but instead believed in Buddhism and began to engage in charity.
Perhaps the prodigal son turned back to repentance, or charity really has "good rewards", in recent years, Li Houlin's career has also been prosperous, and Li Houlin's net worth once exceeded billions.
The "I Do Charity Fund" created by Li Houlin has helped many children in mountainous areas and people in disaster areas.
When you are brilliant, you are accompanied by actresses; when you are lonely, even if you have married an actress, you still have to become a lonely person.
Perhaps after experiencing great ups and downs, Li Houlin can also be regarded as a complete "enlightenment" this time.
