When it comes to Lee Shau Kee, he may not be very familiar with the younger generation of friends, but in the eyes of the Hong Kong people, he is a great figure. Not only can he earn a lot of money, but he can also endure loneliness and be single for 40 years, today let's take a look at his two or three things.
1. Hong Kong tycoon Lee Shau-kee
Lee Shau Kee is one of the four richest people in Hong Kong, and the other three are: Li Ka-shing, Cheng Yu-tung and Kwok Tak-shing, the names of these four people are like thunder in Hong Kong circles. And the Lee Shau Kee we are going to talk about today is a typical case of self-made business, which has become a model for many entrepreneurs in later generations.
At first, Lee Shau Kee only had 1,000 yuan on him, but he was full of ambition and worked hard in Hong Kong for decades, not only did he have outstanding achievements in the Hong Kong coal industry, but he also owned Henderson Land Company, which is a proper cross-border tycoon. People are also very impressed by Lee Shau-kee's action and courage, and in terms of making money, it seems that he has never missed.
As a businessman, Lee Shau Kee's most admirable thing is his vision. In the 70s, Lee Shau Kee began to pay attention to some land in Hong Kong, and in his eyes, these lands were good things that could make him money. In addition to foresight, it is also important to be able to grasp the timing, otherwise due to your own operational mistakes, the land that can make you rich is also likely to become a recycling waste product that you will lose money on.
After his career has gradually stabilized and he doesn't need to worry about it anymore, Lee Shau Kee began to worry about the marriage of his children again, and the eldest was not married for a long time, and he was unwilling to get married, so Lee Shau Kee could only focus on his youngest son Li Jiacheng.
Twenty or forty years of still being single
At this time, some friends may be puzzled, so why haven't they heard of Lee Shau-kee's own emotional problems? In fact, after divorcing his wife, Lee Shau-kee insisted on being single for 40 years and did not marry again, mainly for the following two reasons.
First of all, Lee Shau Kee does not have much desire to meet newcomers, and at a certain age, Lee Shau Kee no longer wants anything vigorous. For him, it is very satisfying to see the peace and joy of his children, and he can enjoy his old age with peace of mind. As for whether there are confidants around him who can speak, it doesn't matter to him.
More importantly, there is the issue of the distribution of family property. In wealthy families, the distribution of property has always been a very sensitive topic. How to divide these properties and when it is appropriate to divide them has always been a problem that Lee Shau Kee is worried about.
Like most wealthy families, Lee Shau Kee worries that the originally harmonious family atmosphere will become more delicate because of the division of property. He didn't want to make his family uneasy because he married another, so after divorcing his ex-wife, Lee Shau Kee didn't want to re-form a family with others.
3. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world
From this incident, we can also see that although Lee Shau Kee is well versed in the deception in the shopping mall, he also cares very much about the prosperity and harmony of the family. For the next generation, he also gave his care and love, and did everything a father can do for his children.
The wedding of one of Lee Shau Kee's children, Lee Ka-shing, and his wife Xu Ziqi was organized with a huge amount of money from Lee Shau Kee. People say that it is difficult to be a wealthy daughter-in-law, but there seems to be no such trouble in the Li family, and it can be said that the husband's family is Xu Ziqi's second harbor.
After Xu Ziqi and Li Jiacheng got married, they were loved by their father-in-law Lee Shau-kee, and the wedding of the two was specially held in Australia, where Xu Ziqi grew up. On the day of the wedding, relatives and friends flew directly to Sydney to send blessings to the couple, and Lee Shau Kee even flew flowers from the Netherlands to the place. Coupled with the gifts to Xu Ziqi and his family, as much as 700 million was spent before and after.
In Lee Shau-kee's view, as a supermodel, Xu Ziqi is dignified and beautiful, and he is also very knowledgeable. There was a master who said that Xu Ziqi had the appearance of a prosperous husband, and the older generation was more superstitious, and the daughter-in-law became the treasure of the family, and was even more loved by Lee Shau-kee than his sons.
In addition to mutual understanding and support, the attitude of the elders is also very important. The reason why many couples do not get along is because they do not handle family relationships well, resulting in one party always being caught in the middle, and the inside and outside are not people. If this trend continues to develop for a long time, even a couple who are like glue may reach the point of falling apart.
As a father, he has been busy all his life, hoping that he can steal a moment of peace and hope that his children can live an easier and happier life than himself.
Summary:
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, every parent naturally hopes that their children can get better and better, but it is relatively rare for a rich businessman like Lee Shau Kee to sacrifice himself to achieve his children. It is precisely because of its rarity that it is particularly precious.
Now Lee Shau Kee is over 90 years old, and hopes that in the second half of his life, he can spend it in good health and peace, which can be regarded as a relatively successful end to his busy and hard life.
