Huo Zhenting's ex-wife Zhu Lingling's current mother-in-law, billionaire Luo Kangrui's mother-in-law, Du Lijun should have had a happy old age.
Now she is 103 years old, still in good health and has a long life.
The husband of one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, Luo Yingshi left her 60 billion after his death.
She has 6 sons and 3 daughters.
With money in hand, children and grandchildren, good health and longevity, it stands to reason that Du Lijun should be very happy in her old age.
Unexpectedly, the 60 billion left by her husband became a hot potato, making the family turn against each other, and Du Lijun had to go to court with her son when she was more than 100 years old.
When she was young, Du Lijun was shrewd and capable, and founded the Great Eagle Group with her husband Luo Yingshi.
She and her husband have a good relationship, and the two have a total of 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls, all of whom are highly educated and have outstanding abilities.
Among the sons, the third Luo Jiarui is the most valued and appreciated by his father Luo Ying, and has always cultivated him as a successor.
As the future head of the family, Luo Yingshi is naturally more biased towards Luo Jiarui in terms of equity and property distribution.
In order to allow him to better manage and control the family group, Great Eagle Group has made him the largest natural person holding shares through the allocation of equity.
The love of parents for their children is far-reaching.
In order to let future generations have no worries about food and clothing, and do not have to affect their lives because of sudden changes, Luo Yingshi took out a part of the equity of Eagle Group, about 60 billion yuan, to set up a family fund.
Wealthy families treat their children differently from ordinary families, they will not treat them equally, and they will tilt towards future successors in all aspects, which is to ensure that wealthy families will not become weaker and weaker because of the separation.
The biggest beneficiary of this family fund is still Luo Jiarui.
Luo Yingshi knows how to weigh things.
While he supported his son Luo Jiarui, he also imposed restrictions on him, so that he could not do whatever he wanted when dealing with the affairs of the group.
The family fund holds more shares in the Great Eagle Group than Mr. Lo, and he is subject to the constraints of the family foundation when making decisions and handling affairs.
The management and controller of their family foundation is Du Lijun.
When Luo Yingshi was alive, although some sons were not satisfied with the results of his distribution, they did not dare to make any small moves, maintaining the peace on the surface.
In 2006, 93-year-old Luo Yingshi died, and that year, his wife Du Lijun was 87 years old.
After his death, the contradictions that had existed between his sons began to appear.
The elderly Du Lijun couldn't suppress her sons at all, and coupled with her partiality for her younger son, the contradiction became bigger and bigger, and it reached the point where the mother and son turned against each other and the brothers became enemies.
After Luo Yingshi's death, Luo Jiarui became the head of the Eagle Group.
His eldest brother, second brother, and youngest brother, Luo Qirui, are also in the group.
The eldest brother and the second brother are insignificant small roles in the group, and Luo Qirui is also strong and is a member of the board of directors.
Zhu Lingling's husband Luo Kangrui, the fourth among several brothers, did not participate in the affairs of his own group, and became a billionaire by his own business.
Luo Yingrui, the fifth-ranked doctor, is not interested in business and never gets involved in the family business.
Generally, families with many children will prefer the youngest one, and Du Lijun is no exception, the youngest son is the most, Luo Qirui.
Luo Qirui and the eldest brother and second brother want to get greater benefits in their own group, and often fan the flames from Du Lijun, wanting their mother to stand up for them.
Du Lijun relies on herself as an elder and the management and controller of the family foundation, and often interferes in the decision-making and operation of the Eagle Group, with a self-evident purpose, wanting to tilt the balance of interests in favor of the younger son and the marginalized eldest and second child.
Luo Jiarui can be favored by Luo Yingshi and become the successor, there must be two brushes.
He is capable and ambitious, unwilling to be led by the nose, and of course, unwilling to give up the power and interests that belong to him.
In 2016, he bought a lot of stocks held by retail investors.
His ultimate goal is to increase his stake to more than 50%, so that he can decide the affairs of the group alone, and no longer be controlled by others.
For such a big thing, Du Lijun naturally heard the rumors.
That year, she was 97 years old, nearly 100 years old.
Whether her 6 sons are in business or practicing medicine, everyone is a billionaire and not bad for money.
At such an age, and her sons are not short of money, Du Lijun can completely let go and enjoy her own happiness.
She is partial to her youngest son, and she is unwilling to lose control of the group founded by her husband while she is alive, and she competes with her third son Luo Jiarui, and she also wants to buy the shares of her own group.
This requires a lot of money, and she controls the family fund, so she asked the trust company responsible for the management of the fund to buy it on her behalf.
The trust company didn't listen to her, she didn't buy a single stock, and Luo Jiarui's shares successfully exceeded 50%.
After achieving his goal, Luo Jiarui had no scruples and kicked his mother's most painful youngest son Luo Qirui out of the board of directors.
Du Lijun thought that she would win, but she lost completely, and she wanted her youngest son to take advantage of it, but she suffered a big loss.
The son who was raised with hard work did not listen to her, and the group that was built up with hard work had no right to speak.
She has a strong personality and can't accept such a fact, so she started a lawsuit with the "rebel" Luo Jiarui at the age of 100 in a fit of anger.
This lawsuit affected the interests of the 6 brothers of the Luo family, and because of the different interests, they were divided into two factions.
The eldest and second eldest Luo Qirui all stared at "that cake" in Luo Jiarui's hand and stood on the side of the old mother.
The fourth Luo Kangrui and the fifth Luo Yingrui both felt that the old mother was partial to the younger son, and also wanted Luo Jiarui to manage the company well and get more equity returns, which was the same as Luo Jiarui.
Du Lijun believed that the trust company in charge of fund management was not effective and failed to carry out her instructions, resulting in her own failure.
In 2018, she first sued the trust company, which ended in defeat.
In 2019, she sued her son Luo Jiarui, saying that he violated the law by privately increasing his stake in Eagle Group, and wanted to cancel the equity that her husband gave him without letting him sign before his death, and lost the lawsuit again.
Du Lijun has a big temperament, and he has never been able to swallow this breath, and he has been defeated and sued repeatedly.
In 2020, she sued again, demanding that her husband's plan for the distribution of her sons' inherited property be canceled during his lifetime, and that she wanted to redistribute the property herself, but this time she still lost the lawsuit.
In 2021, at the age of 102, she was no longer able to appear in court, but she still refused to give up, and asked her youngest son Luo Qirui to appear in court to sue on her behalf.
Du Lijun was too persistent, fighting one lawsuit after another, pushing the three sons led by Luo Jiarui farther and farther away, and the former mother and son became rivals.
She can be described as smart and confused.
could have enjoyed his old age and enjoyed the joy of family, but he was involved in the conflicts of interest of his sons and was unable to settle it.
