Back then, Yu Yu told Li Guoqing that now the company's stock price has shrunk, and he can only give him 2 million pocket money every year. Unexpectedly, Li Guoqing disagreed, and said that this money was not enough to give people red envelopes.
Speaking of Yu Yu and Li Guoqing, everyone may feel a little unfamiliar, but when it comes to their "children", you must have the impression that they are the founders of Dangdang.com, a couple who run a company together.
But just a few years ago, the divorce of the two of them can be described as a stir, lest the world not know, leaking each other's secrets in front of the media, but why did the two who were once husband and wife make such a fuss?
Back in 1996, when the two of them first met, Li Guoqing had just quit his job and wanted to come to the United States to try his luck and see if there were any projects he could do, and here he met Yu Yu, who was one year younger than him.
At that time, Yu Yu had just obtained an MBA degree from New York University, but he applied for many companies and did not find a suitable job for him, so he started his own business, and with her extraordinary talent, he really made some fame on Wall Street.
Perhaps it was Yu Yu's point that attracted Li Guoqing, and Yu Yu seemed to be conquered by Li Guoqing's charm, and the two got married in a flash just three months after they met.
After the two got married, Yu Yu gave up his identity as an "overseas elite" to return to China for Li Guoqing, and started his business again, preparing to work hard in the direction of book publishing.
But this matter does not seem to be as simple as Yu Yu imagined, after a period of time, not only did he not make any money, but he even made himself physically and mentally exhausted.
But Yu Yu did not give up, still in the book publishing area, soon after Yu Yu saw Amazon selling books online, and felt that this was a very good idea, and at this time there was no domestic company to do such an attempt.
In this way, Yu Yu and Li Guoqing put forward such an idea, and the two hit it off, and in 1999, the Dangdang network, which was jointly operated by the two, was officially put into operation.
In the early days of the establishment of Dangdang.com, the two couples were humble to each other, neither of them wanted to be higher than each other, Li Guoqing was responsible for the internal operations of Dangdang.com, while Yu Yu was responsible for capital operation and administrative personnel, and the two of them even created the title of co-president.
They relied on novel methods and advanced concepts, and soon Dangdang.com ushered in their first batch of investment, and then Dangdang.com entered its own era, in just three years, it has achieved breakeven, and the annual sales have reached 80 million, becoming the largest online book seller in China, and its fame is close to Amazon.
During this period, Li Guoqing was responsible for running the business, and Yu Yu was responsible for managing the company's investment, and they believed that their Dangdang network would definitely become a dark horse.
This is exactly the case, and then it attracted the attention of Amazon, proposing to acquire 70%-90% of the shares of Dangdang for $150 million, but it was rejected, and then Dangdang was officially listed.
Since Yu Yu has always been in charge of the company's accounts, Li Guoqing takes money from him every time, but for a while, the company's stock price fell, and Yu Yu decided to give her husband less money, but he didn't expect Li Guoqing to quit and said that he couldn't do anything with 2 million.
Perhaps from this time on, the two of them have been estranged, and in 2019, the conflict between the two broke out completely, and there was a divorce.
Although they were a loving couple supporting each other at the time, they chose to part ways with each other after success, which is really puzzling, I don't know what everyone in front of the screen thinks?
