preface
"I was born at the bottom of society, I don't want to take my life, I don't want to admit my life, this is my character..."
This is Liu Qiangdong once said "Chuang Jingdong", but now he is 49 years old, in the prime of life, in the face of reality, he has to accept his life.
In 2018, US police investigated Liu Qiangdong on suspicion of sexual assault. Although the lawsuit was settled four years later, he was eventually acquitted. But this incident will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Liu Qiangdong's career and reputation.
After the Mingzhou incident, Liu Qiangdong first resigned as CEO of JD.com, and then gave up equity capital one after another. In 2022, it is reported that Liu Qiangdong has redeemed 45% of JD.com's shares, up to 64 billion.
Subsequently, first Liu Qiangdong's ancestral house was splashed with paint, and then some netizens met Liu Qiangdong and his wife Zhang Zetian in the United States and the United Kingdom. Liu Qiangdong is also said to have bought mansions from abroad.
Many people say that the era of Liu Qiangdong is over, and JD.com has a different future. But in any case, the grassroots counterattack has made Liu Qiangdong a legend in the business world.
The poor boy's counterattack life
Suqian City, Jiangsu Province was once a small town with little name, but in recent years it has successfully counterattacked and become the twelfth city in Jiangsu Province.
The rapid development of Suqian is inseparable from the contribution of one person. He is Liu Qiangdong, the former CEO of JD.com.
Liu Qiangdong was born in 1974 to a rural family in Suqian. Because his family was so poor, he grew up eating a lot of food.
"Son, we don't have the ability to give you a good life, you can only get out of the countryside if you study hard, and when you succeed in the future, don't forget these people who feed you."
Liu Qiangdong kept his parents' words in mind and his academic performance was always at the top. At the age of 18, he was admitted to Chinese Min University with the first place in the Suqian college entrance examination. At that time, the whole village was excited, feeling that "the golden phoenix finally flew out of the poor ravine".
However, what confused and helpless Liu Qiangdong was that he could not afford to go to college, even if it only cost a few hundred yuan.
"My child is our top student in the college entrance examination, how can such a good university not be admitted?" When the villagers heard that Liu Qiang's tuition was tight and he had no money to give up school, they took the initiative to raise 500 yuan and 76 eggs. It was delivered to him.
The support of the villagers brought tears to Liu Qiangdong's eyes. On his way to Beijing alone, he secretly vowed to succeed in his studies and return to his hometown.
Liu Qiangdong did not break his word, nor did he disappoint the people. He taught himself programming during college and earned his first pot of gold in his sophomore year. He later tried to reopen the restaurant. Although he got into trouble because of his lack of experience, it accumulated valuable experience for him.
In 1998, Liu Qiangdong came to Zhongguancun with only 12,000 yuan of savings, and since then "Jingdong Multimedia" was born.
Although there is only a small counter, it contains all of Liu Qiangdong's dreams. Because of his persistence and hard work, JD.com continues to grow and develop. In just three years, it has developed from one department to 12, with a turnover of 10 million yuan, and its market share has become the first in the country.
But just when Liu was confident about the future, SARS in 2003 nearly bankrupted him, and he lost more than 8 million in just 21 days. At that time, Liu Qiangdong was so worried that he could not eat or sleep, but he did not expect that this fatal blow would bring a turning point to his career.
In order to adapt to the environment, JD.com took the first step in online shopping. In 2004, when JD.com's multimedia website went online, it earned 10 million in online revenue that year.
Since then, Liu Qiangdong has made JD.com bigger and stronger step by step with his outstanding ability and foresight. In July 2013, JD Financial Group was officially established. When JD.com went public the following year, it had a market value of US$28.6 billion on that day, making it the third largest Internet exchange company in China after Tencent and Baidu.
After Liu Qiangdong's success, he is not only passionate about philanthropy, but also most sincerely gives back to the people of his hometown.
Since 2009, Liu Qiangdong's investment and donation to his hometown Suqian has increased to 16.1 billion euros. He even opened a JD.com national customer service center in his hometown.
Thanks to Liu Qiangdong, countless Suqian people have made their fortunes by relying on the big tree of "Jingdong", and there are countless local millionaires alone. Liu Qiangdong has become the pride of all Suqian people, and he has brought much more "well-being" to the villagers.
In the Spring Festival of 2015, Liu Qiangdong returned to his hometown with his wife Zhang Zetian. He gave 10,000 yuan red envelopes to every elderly person over 60 years old in the Jingdong nursing home he built.
In 2019, in order to improve the educational conditions in his hometown and cultivate more talents to benefit Suqian, Liu Qiangdong donated another 40 million yuan to the Suqian Branch of Nanjing Foreign Chinese School. In addition, he also gave each teacher a monthly allowance of 1,000 yuan.
With Liu Qiangdong's full support, the GDP of Suqian Town quadrupled in ten years. The locals also lived a prosperous life because of Liu Qiangdong's contribution.
It can be said that Liu Qiangdong, who had a popular career back then, has not only become a symbol of mainland e-commerce, but also the pride of the people of Suqian.
But no one expected that when the "Mingzhou incident" occurred, Liu Qiangdong not only "left" JD.com, but even the door of his hometown ancestral home was splashed with paint.
The Mingzhou incident ended Liu Qiangdong's era In the early morning of August 31, 2018, Liu Qiangdong was suddenly arrested in the United States on suspicion of sexual harassment. When the news reached China, it caused an uproar. No one expected that such a thing would happen to Liu Qiangdong, who had a successful career and a happy family. That kind of thing.
Although Liu Qiangdong's "sexual assault of female students" case was acquitted after thorough investigation, it is undeniable that he cheated during his marriage, and the negative impact of this scandal on JD.com cannot be ignored. At that time, JD.com's share price fell. Turned green countless times.
With Liu Qiangdong's "house collapse", in addition to his career, his reputation also collapsed. Since then, Liu Qiangdong has never returned to his hometown and rarely appears in public.
In order to reduce the negative impact on JD.com, Liu Qiangdong withdrew from more than 300 JD.com companies, resigned as JD.com's CEO, and even gave away most of his shares to give up control of JD.com.
Later, it was reported that according to incomplete statistics, Liu Qiangdong has redeemed 64 billion euros in recent years and even bought luxury homes abroad.
At the beginning of 2022, news suddenly came that three black-robed masked men threw paint at the door of Liu Qiangdong's ancestral house. This ancestral house is of great significance to Liu Qiangdong.
Where the paint splashes, there is a relief on the outer wall of the gate, on which the image of Phoenix Nirvana is engraved. It not only reflects Liu Qiangdong's life experience, but also reminds him to continue to work hard and move forward boldly.
But Phoenix's blue paint happened to spill. As we all know, the phoenix represents nirvana, rebirth, and "blue" is the same as "block". In other words, whoever splashes paint hopes that Liu Qiangdong will always be unlucky and have a better career. Nor can it evolve.
At that time, there were many speculations about who the paint splash was and why, but Liu Qiangdong denied it.
One day, he said, two people of unknown origin came to the house and insisted on waiting for him to come back to discuss things. But he hasn't been back to his hometown since 2017, so naturally they look forward to some lonely time. So, in a fit of anger, they poured paint on the gate of Liu Qiangdong's ancestral house and cut down the trees on the gate.
Everyone doubts whether what Liu Qiangdong said is the real reason. However, after the incident, Liu Qiangdong seemed to have fallen under the "curse" and resigned from the management positions of four listed companies one after another.
Just when everyone was speculating about Liu Qiangdong's next move, in June last year, news broke out abroad that a 33-year-old mysterious rich woman from Jiangsu, China, bought a high-end mansion in the Italian Mediterranean for 650 million yuan.
Since the Italian media called her a "Chinese e-commerce giant", many people speculated that the mysterious rich woman was likely to be Liu Qiangdong's sister. The mansion he bought in Italy is probably also for his brother.
Subsequently, photos of Liu Qiangdong and his wife Zhang Zetian shopping in American shopping malls circulated on the Internet. As can be seen from the picture, Zhang Zetian is seven or eight months pregnant, so many people speculate that Liu Qiangdong may have retired early and settled in the United States with his wife and children.
Although I have not confirmed the news, I have in mind Jack Ma, who has raised hundreds of billions of dollars and lives a carefree life abroad. Many people said that even if the news was true, it would not be surprising.
In April this year, some netizens met Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Zetian in London, England. Seeing them walking hand in hand in the park looks very sweet and comfortable.
Liu Qiangdong is said to have bought a mansion worth 600 million yuan in London, and his second son also obtained British citizenship. I don't know if this news is true or not, but judging from their current situation, family life should still be very harmonious.
epilogue
Liu Qiangdong once said, "I don't want to accept the arrangement of fate, I think I will never be able to defeat my opponent, this is my character." However, in the face of reality, he eventually had to accept fate.
However, although Liu Qiangdong's era is over, his grassroots counterattack life, the brilliance he created for JD.com, and his contribution to the people of his hometown still make his mark on this era.
Isn't it great to work hard in the corporate world for so many years, to return to your family and enjoy a normal life?
