1. Wang Xiaofei decisively withdrew her shares and got rid of the divorce dispute
Recently, the divorce lawsuit between Wang Xiaofei and Da S has once again attracted attention. According to reports, Wang Xiaofei suddenly withdrew from the Wang Xi company under her name and transferred most of the shares to her father Wang Xi free of charge. This move is believed to be a response to Wang Xiaofei's escape from the upcoming new round of lawsuits.
Looking back on the origin of this incident, it can be traced back to April 2023, when Wang Xiaofei's equity in the company was already frozen. According to the analysis of industry insiders, this is likely to be related to the divorce dispute between him and Big S. Recently, Big S sued Wang Xiaofei again on the grounds that she wanted to obtain part of the equity of S Hotel as a reward for her contribution to the hotel operation that year.
However, judging from the current situation, it may be difficult to realize this demand of Big S. First of all, the S Hotel has been acquired by a large group and renamed "MGallery", and the original "S Hotel" trademark has been changed to "M gallery". This means that the ownership structure of the hotel has changed, and it is difficult for the big S to get anything from the current shareholders.
Secondly, Wang Xiaofei took the initiative to give up 40% of the company's shares this time and transferred it to his father. In this way, this part of the equity is completely out of Wang Xiaofei's name, and Big S will naturally no longer be able to get any benefits from it. This can be said to be a smart move by Wang Xiaofei to "de-risk" for herself.
Not only that, industry insiders also revealed that before this, Da S himself had also transferred part of his property to his mother's name to prevent losses in future lawsuits. It can be said that both sides are taking various precautions for the upcoming new round of lawsuits.
Second, it is difficult for Big S to get benefits from Wang Xiaofei
From the above situation, it can be seen that the purpose of Big S's lawsuit against Wang Xiaofei this time is largely to get a piece of the pie from the other party. She believes that she has made certain contributions to the operation of S Hotel, including publicity, platform, endorsement, etc., which belong to the category of celebrity endorsement and should be rewarded accordingly.
But industry insiders point out that there are some problems with this statement. First of all, these publicity and other behaviors made by Da S for the hotel all happened during her marriage with Wang Xiaofei, and she also enjoyed the benefits of the hotel. So it seems a little premature for her to ask for equity now.
Secondly, even though S Hotel used to be a company under Wang Xiaofei's name, it has now been acquired and the shareholding structure has changed. It is not very likely that Big S will get shares from new shareholders in a short period of time. So she is likely to turn her target to the mainland-affiliated companies under Wang Xiaofei's name.
However, at this moment, Wang Xiaofei took the initiative to give up the company's equity, which undoubtedly caught Big S off guard. Originally, she was expecting a piece of the pie from Wang Xiaofei, but now this road is completely blocked. It can be said that Wang Xiaofei's move successfully thwarted Big S's calculations.
3. The game behind the transfer of property between the two
From this incident, we can also see that both parties are using various means to protect their property in this divorce lawsuit.
On the one hand, Da S once transferred part of his property to his mother's name to prevent losses in future lawsuits. This practice of "transferring property" is not uncommon in the celebrity circle. Big S himself admitted that this is in response to the upcoming new round of lawsuits.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaofei took the initiative to give up the company's equity this time, also in order to avoid further calculations by Big S. Industry insiders pointed out that this company is suspected to be an affiliate of S Hotel in the mainland, so Big S is likely to turn his attention here. But now Wang Xiaofei has completely withdrawn from the company, and this road has been blocked.
It can be said that this practice of "wandering on the edge of the law" reflects the cautious and precautionary awareness of both sides in this lawsuit. They are all trying to protect their property by various means so as not to suffer significant losses in the final judgment.
Fourth, divorce disputes are in a state of stalemate
According to reports, in addition to the dispute over the hotel's equity, the divorce lawsuit between Da S and Wang Xiaofei seems to be escalating.
It is reported that Da S has recently publicly accused Wang Xiaofei, saying that he was sued by her again and will go to Taiwan for a trial on the 20th. According to industry insiders, the reason for this lawsuit may be that Big S wants to get a share of the hotel from Wang Xiaofei.
But judging from the overall situation, Big S's appeal this time is likely to be difficult to achieve. First of all, S Hotel has been acquired, the shareholding structure has changed, and it is difficult for Big S to get shares from new shareholders. Secondly, Wang Xiaofei had taken the initiative to give up most of the company's shares, and this road was also blocked.
What's even more concerning is that it is reported that there are also some contradictions between Da S and his mother. According to the report, this may be because Da S is now short of money and needs to ask his mother for money, but her mother refuses to give it to her. This undoubtedly exacerbates the financial pressure on Big S, and may also affect the process of the lawsuit between her and Wang Xiaofei.
In general, this divorce lawsuit, which has lasted for several years, seems to have fallen into a stalemate. Both sides are doing everything to protect their interests, using various means to transfer property. But judging from the current situation, what benefits Big S wants to get from Wang Xiaofei is probably an unrealistic expectation.
5. The metaphor behind the fierce game between the two sides
Through an in-depth analysis of this incident, it is not difficult for us to find that behind this is a reflection of deeper social problems.
First, it highlights the unfairness of the distribution of wealth within the celebrity circle. Although Hotel S is an affiliated company of Wang Xiaofei's company, Big S has also contributed a certain amount of value to it by virtue of his star status. However, when the company is acquired, these contributions are difficult to get the rewards they deserve. This undoubtedly reveals the inequities that exist in the star economy.
Secondly, this incident also reflects the complexity of property division in celebrity divorce disputes. Faced with huge wealth and complex asset structures, both sides are doing their best to transfer and protect to avoid risks. This not only highlights the difficulty of celebrity wealth management, but also reflects the shortcomings of the mainland's divorce legal system in handling such cases.
Again, this also makes people think about the problems that exist in celebrity marital relationships. Although Da S and Wang Xiaofei's marriage eventually broke down, the selfishness, calculation and confrontation they showed in the divorce process also reflected the common lack of trust and understanding in celebrity marriages. This has undoubtedly caused a heavy psychological burden on their children.
Finally, this incident also highlights the inequality in the distribution of wealth in mainland society. As superstars, the wealth and assets mastered by Big S and Wang Xiaofei are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The game between them reflects the problem of unfair distribution of wealth in the mainland as a whole. This also makes people think about how to promote the rational distribution of social wealth, narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, and let the fruits of development benefit more people.
In general, this dispute case involving multiple issues such as celebrity marriage, property division, and social fairness has brought us food for thought. It not only shows the complex status quo within the celebrity circle, but also reflects some deep-seated problems in social development. Only when we face up to these problems and take effective measures to solve them can we move society in a more equitable and just direction.
