After Liu Qiangdong's sexual assault case, the mysterious Shenzhen real estate billionaire Li Hua was exposed.
Recently, Reuters released an exclusive report revealing more details of Liu Qiangdong's sexual assault case. The report mentioned that Vivian Yang, Liu Qiangdong's personal assistant, once told the woman concerned: "We each say our own words, it is better to let Boss Li talk to you, he is a person that we both trust." You can talk to him first. Among them, "Boss Li" refers to Li Hua, chairman of excellence group.
Before the sexual assault, Li Hua and Liu Qiangdong attended an event at the University of Minnesota and attended a dinner party together. However, the woman concerned refused this request and asked to interview Liu Qiangdong.
Like Liu Qiangdong, Li Hua is also a well-paid entrepreneur in China. In 2018, Li Hua ranked 71st in the Hurun Rich List with a wealth of 35 billion yuan, facing Liu Qiangdong, who ranked 24th. As the chairman of Excellence Group, Li Hua has made great achievements in the real estate industry.
In the face of such a tricky event, invited by Liu Qiangdong to be an intermediary, the relationship between Li Hua and Liu Qiangdong looks extraordinary. In May 2017, Liu Qiangdong and his wife Zhang Zetian donated 200 million yuan to Tsinghua University, and five months later, Li Hua also donated 270 million yuan to Tsinghua University as a Tsinghua student. It is worth mentioning that according to the interface report, Li Hua's wife was once an actor, 31 years old at the time, 21 years old with Li Hua.
Make a fortune
If it were not for this incident, it would be difficult for outsiders to link Liu Qiangdong and Li Hua.
In 1998, 25-year-old Liu Qiangdong had just graduated from Chinese University, and he was still shouting at the Zhongguancun counter for several CDs, with a shy and childish face. At this time, Li Hua, who was 32 years old at the time, was already among the successful entrepreneurs. In 1996, Li Hua established Excellence Industrial Development Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen. In 1998, Excellence Group launched its first residential project, The Côte d'Azur, which was awarded the "Top 30 Communities Influencing China".
Prior to this, Li Hua, who also graduated from a famous school, has been working in the commercial sea for nearly 10 years. In 1987, Li Hua graduated from South China University of Technology and later served in the Shenzhen Youth League Committee. In 1989, Li Hua went to the sea and worked in different industries such as trade, stocks, and real estate, and also obtained Hong Kong resident status during this period. At that time, Liu Qiangdong was still immersed in the joy of successfully entering Renmin University.
At the end of the 20th century, Li Hua set off a blue storm in Shenzhen with the Azure Project. At that time, Liu Qiangdong's turf was just a counter in Zhongguancun, and the people who knew him well were only vendors within a radius of 100 meters.
After entering the 21st century, Li Hua led the Excellence Group to changsha, Wuhan, Qingdao and other cities.
In 2003, Shenzhen Excellence Building was erected, witnessing the rapid progress of Excellence Group in the field of business office opening. After Shenzhen Excellence Times Square began to take shape, in 2006, Excellence Group successfully established its authority in the field of CBD commercial real estate, and the property type entered the stage of diversification.
Li Hua also slowly rose to the ranks of the rich. In 2007, Li Hua ranked 115th with a personal wealth of 5 billion yuan on the Forbes Rich List. On the list, Liu Qiangdong is still missing. JD.com, which had just received its first financing, began its real transformation at that time.
wive
In the same period, Liu Qiangdong encountered opportunities and Li Hua met love.
In 2009, the news of the withdrawal of a miss asia candidate from Hebei province broke the Hong Kong media. "Ya jie resigned for the rich boyfriend obediently", "rich boyfriend award 300,000 watches" and so on to earn enough public opinion eyeballs. Later, some media reported that the rich man's boyfriend was Li Hua, and this Asian sister was Tong Xiaoyan, who was 22 years old at the time, who was studying at the Shanghai Theater Academy. In the face of the sudden withdrawal, the Asian Sister Conference had to explain it by "she came to Hong Kong alone and did not know how to face it".
The love scene is proud, but there is a little problem in the mall. In 2009, Excellence Group sprinted for the Hong Kong IPO, but due to the low valuation and insufficient international subscription, Li Hua had to sell some of the office buildings he held to ease cash flow.
In 2010, Tong Xiaoyan graduated. With the identity of one of the "youth beautiful girl groups" in high school and the fame brought by the candidate Yajie, Tong Xiaoyan participated in several idol dramas, but did not catch fire. In contrast, in 2010, Liu Qiangdong's wife, Zhang Zetian, became popular on the Internet with a green photo of milk tea in her hand.
In 2012, Tong Xiaoyan, then 25, appeared as Li Hua's wife at her daughter's "100-day banquet". Previously, Li Hua, 46, had never been married. What makes Li Hua even more pleased is that in that year, 2012, Excellence achieved sales of 10 billion yuan, ranking among the top 50 sales in the country.
The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave. Also that year, Liu Qiangdong, then 39, topped Fortune's (Chinese) list of "China's 40 Business Elites Under 40".
Liu Qiangdong also met love. In 2014, the 21-year-old Zhang Zetian's relationship with Liu Qiangdong was exposed by the media.
Dinner
In 2018, the 107-year-old Tsinghua University was energized by one red envelope after another, including the wishes of Liu Qiangdong and Zhang Zetian and Li Hua.
In April, Mr. and Mrs. Liu Qiangdong announced a donation of RMB 200 million to Tsinghua University to support the construction and development of Tsinghua University's Schwarzman College, AI research, logistics and other projects. In October, Li Hua announced that he would donate RMB270 million to the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University to support the construction of Building B of the new building of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management.
At this time, Liu Qiangdong was already on the cusp of the storm. In August 2018, Liu Qiangdong, Li Hua and other well-worthy entrepreneurs went to the University of Minnesota for further study. According to the 2018 Hurun Rich List, Li Hua ranked 71st in the 2018 Hurun Rich List with a wealth of 35 billion yuan, facing Liu Qiangdong, who ranked 24th.
On August 30, near the end of the University of Minnesota refresher course, entrepreneurs happily assembled a dinner party. During the period, the entrepreneur invited volunteers who had worked hard during the class to express their gratitude. The 21-year-old woman was kindly arranged by Liu Qiangdong's side.
On the evening of August 31, local time, Liu Qiangdong was arrested for sexual assault in Minnesota and released on the afternoon of September 1. After 84 days, on November 22, Reuters released an exclusive report revealing more details of Liu Qiangdong's sexual assault case. The report mentioned that Vivian Yang, Liu Qiangdong's personal assistant, once told the woman concerned: "We each say our own words, it is better to let Boss Li talk to you, he is a person that we both trust." You can talk to him first. "This Boss Li is Li Hua of the Excellence Group.
In the face of such a tricky event, the friendship between Li Hua and Liu Qiangdong was finally concerned by public opinion. Although the two are 7 years apart, it does not affect the coincidence of the two in some places.
