In the interweaving of the business world and the entertainment industry, there is a legendary figure whose story can be called ups and downs, and he is Liu Luanxiong, who is known as "Da Liu", but what exactly makes this name so eye-catching?
Liu Luanxiong's life is like an absurd drama, from self-made to dominant, to tax evasion, every scene is full of drama.
In 1951, Liu Luanxiong was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong, who would have thought that this unattractive young man would become a rich tycoon in the future?
When he was young, Liu Luanxiong inherited his father's entrepreneurial spirit and started from a fan business, as if opening the door to wealth.
In the 70s of the 20th century, when Europe and the United States were still having a headache for energy conservation, Liu Luanxiong smelled a business opportunity, and his classical fans sold well in the American market.
In just two years, he has grown from nothing to a factory with 10,000 people, which is a business miracle.
However, Liu Luanxiong was not satisfied with this, and his eyes soon turned to the stock market, a larger casino.
With a keen business sense, Liu Luanxiong is like a fish in water in the stock market, and his wealth has grown rapidly like a snowball.
He bought Chinese real estate and then sold it at a high price, which can be called the magic of turning stones into gold.
By 2020, the wealth of Liu Luanxiong's family has reached 125 billion, ranking among the top of Hong Kong's rich list.
However, success did not satisfy Liu Luanxiong, but instead inspired him to be even more greedy.
In order to evade taxes, Liu Luanxiong racked his brains, and he took advantage of policy loopholes to obtain all his income in the form of bonuses and dividends, cleverly avoiding personal income tax.
Although this practice is not illegal, it is obviously contrary to business ethics and has aroused widespread doubts in society.
Liu Luanxiong's "tax avoidance" did not stop there, and he even laundered money through Macau casinos, which was eventually uncovered and he faced a five-year prison sentence in Macau.
However, Liu Luanxiong once again showed his "ingenuity" by quickly fleeing to Hong Kong, taking advantage of the fact that there is no extradition treaty between Hong Kong and Macau, and managed to escape punishment.
But Liu Luanxiong knew that this was only a stopgap measure, and in order to get out of the situation completely, he decided to set his sights overseas.
After some investigation, Liu Luanxiong chose the United Kingdom, known as a "tax evasion haven", as his safe haven.
In this way, Liu Luanxiong closed more than 300 companies in China, cashed out 50 billion yuan, and fled to the United Kingdom with his family.
However, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, and Liu Luanxiong's "shrewdness" did not bring him the good luck he imagined.
In just one year, he lost 22 billion and slipped from fourth to eighth on the rich list.
This result cannot help but make people sigh: betrayal of the motherland and evasion of responsibility will eventually be punished.
However, Liu Luanxiong's legendary story does not stop there, and his "talent" in the mall seems to be reflected in his love life.
The nickname "Da Liu" not only represents his business achievements, but also becomes a symbol in the entertainment industry.
His love life can be called wonderful, from Li Jiaxin to Cai Shaofen, many Hong Kong actresses have been entangled with him.
Liu Luanxiong seems to have turned on the "harvesting mode", using luxury cars, mansions, and jewelry to pocket actresses one by one.
However, the years are not forgiving, and Liu Luanxiong, who is now past his prime, is no longer facing emotional disputes, but the distribution of family property.
How can the seven children born to him by three women be fairly distributed among this huge wealth?
Surprisingly, the former "playboy" showed rare impartiality on the issue.
He decided to adopt a strategy of "one bowl of water is even" so that all children can enjoy inheritance rights.
This decision may have avoided strife within the family, but it also makes one wonder: can money really make up for the lack of father's love?
Looking back on Liu Luanxiong's life, we have to admit his achievements in business.
However, his actions have also sparked a number of controversies, especially his practice of wandering on the edge of morality and law.
It is undoubtedly despicable that China, after earning huge wealth, chooses to flee abroad in order to avoid its social responsibilities.
What is even more regrettable is that Liu Luanxiong has never made any return to society, and even tried to evade the taxes he should pay.
This behavior is in stark contrast to entrepreneurs who make money while not forgetting to give back to society.
Liu Luanxiong's story leaves us with deep thoughts: money or morality, which is the real measure of a person's success?
In the process of pursuing wealth, should we also adhere to the moral bottom line and fulfill our social responsibilities?
After all, a truly great entrepreneur should not only be a money-making machine, but also a force that promotes social progress.
Liu Luanxiong's legendary life may serve as a warning that we should not forget the importance of morality and responsibility while chasing wealth.
Finally, we can't help but ask: in this age of money supremacy, can we still find true business ethics and social responsibility? In other words, are people like Liu Luanxiong really worthy of our envy and emulation?
