How to divide the10 billion legacy left by the death of Korea's richest man?

In South Korea, there is a well-known joke: Koreans can't escape three things in their lives-birth, death and Samsung.

The chaebol giant Samsung has more than 85 enterprises, spanning electronics, finance, chemistry, real estate, shipping and other fields, and its output value accounts for one-fifth of South Korea's total GDP, which can be said to hold the economic lifeline of South Korea.

So when Samsung Group announced the death of President Lee Kun-hee last year, we can imagine what kind of shock this news caused to South Korea.

Lee Kun-hee is not only the "God" of Samsung Group, but also the richest man in South Korea, and is called "the economic president of South Korea" by the people.

According to incomplete statistics, his death left at least 18 trillion won (about RMB10 billion yuan). According to Korean law, the inheritance tax alone will cost nearly 60 billion yuan.

This morning, the farewell ceremony of his body was held in private at Samsung Seoul Hospital.

This is also the first time that Li Jianxi's family has made public appearances in front of the media after his death.

All eyes are on those successors who "want to wear its crown, they must bear its weight."

The successor from Samsung, the story is as wonderful as Korean drama.

The big prince was trapped in multiple doors.

Lee Jae-yong, 52, is the only son of Li Jianxi. It is said that he was trained as a successor since childhood, and the outside world called him "Prince".

Only son: Lee Jae-yong.

Compared with his decisive father, this son who graduated from Harvard Business School with a doctorate looks like a gentle scholar. He is obedient to his father and will only express his opinion when he is sure that he agrees with his father.

His father is very satisfied. In 2000, my son failed to start a business, and 14 Internet companies all suffered a bubble. Li Jianxi immediately bought eight companies, saved his son's face, and recalled him to North Korea to take charge of the main business of Samsung Group.

Li Jianxi is obviously proficient in politics. Even though his daughters have a lot of complaints about the "father", they keep the "inheritance" secret.

And "Prince", with the blessing of "father and emperor", is more grateful and obedient, more obedient and more silent, bearing in mind "monarch and minister, father and son".

In 2008, Li Jianxi was sentenced to probation for illegal stock trading and resigned as chairman. Lee Jae-yong followed suit, resigned as the Chief Customer Officer (CCO) and voluntarily went into exile to work overseas.

Only one year later, Lee Myung-bak, then president, pardoned Lee Kun-hee, who applied for the Olympic Games, and Lee Jae-yong returned to China with high profile and was promoted to the position of superior president.

The first thing the prince did when he returned to the palace was to clean up the door-to compete for equity with his two sisters.

By means of asset reorganization, he made the industry he absolutely controlled become the core of Samsung Group, and he was restrained by his two sisters.

Left one: Lee Jae-yong Right: Li Jianxi and his two daughters.

In 20 14, Li Jianxi was hospitalized for a long time due to a heart attack, and Lee Jae-yong became a real "prince in charge".

Although his series of operations of "rooting out dissidents" seem neat and crisp, according to the standard of "the head of Samsung Empire", Lee Jae-yong appears indecisive, far less wise and courageous than his father.

From 2065438 to September 2006, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 mobile phone, which had high hopes, suffered dozens of explosions and fires around the world, and it was deeply mired in the "quality gate" for a time, and its profit in the quarter directly dropped by 30%.

As the actual leader and vice president of Samsung, Lee Jae-yong has been hiding behind the scenes until June 65438+ 10 1 1

On the other hand, in the early 1990s, his father also encountered the quality problems of Samsung mobile phones. In front of more than 2,000 employees, Li Jianxi immediately announced that he would pay close attention to quality in the future, and then burned 6,543,800 faulty mobile phones and 50 million US dollars.

While shocking South Korea, it also started Samsung's reputation of pursuing quality and contributed to Samsung's future global rise.

Prince's World War I, because the first recall did not include China, also offended consumers in China. Three years after the incident, the market share of Samsung mobile phones in China fell to less than 1%.

Moreover, employees also revealed that Prince Samsung, who has been in the United States for many years, is a real "fruit powder".

But even more deadly is the "bribery door."

At the end of 20 16, the incident of "cronyism" broke out in park geun-hye. Samsung was suspected of bribing 43 billion won to South park geun-hye's "confidant" Cui Shunshi, and Lee Jae-yong was tried and finally sentenced to five years in prison.

Since Samsung was founded 79 years ago, the prince has become the first person in charge of imprisonment. After a year in prison, he was released on probation.

At this time, he was greeted by President Moon Jae in. President Moon Jae in was extremely tough on the chaebol and made it his lifelong ideal to get rid of the control of the chaebol.

On May 6, 2020, at Samsung headquarters in Seoul, Lee Jae-yong apologized to the nationals for the succession of the company's management rights, the bribery scandal and the obstruction of the establishment of trade unions by corporate executives in recent years.

In his apology, he said that his children would not inherit the management right of the company.

If so, Samsung will also become the first among all South Korean chaebols to announce the abolition of "family inheritance".

Now the father who helped him get on the horse is gone. This seemingly beautiful successor lowered his noble head and showed his goodwill towards reality.

You have to wear its crown. Can you bear its weight?

Princess royal with outstanding military achievements.

The outside world is surging, which is enough to make the prince tremble with fear, but behind closed doors, the intricacies at home also make him afraid to take it lightly.

Li Jianxi also has two daughters, one is beautiful and the other is capable.

Li Jianxi and his two daughters

"The princess fights for the jade feather in the mirror, and the king wins the gold hook at the bottom of the sleeve." Second sister Seo-Hun Lee, 20 10, was promoted by her father as the president of his brother's subsidiary under her brother's "trick".

Second daughter Seo-Hun Lee.

Relying on others, she lost the ability to compete with them, and then retired to the marriage of rich people and kept a low profile outside.

Lee Jae-yong's real nemesis is the big sister Li Fuzhen, the core of Samsung's royal family.

Princess royal: Li Fuzhen.

Li Fuzhen is not only white and beautiful, but also rebellious and strong. The female president starring Song Hye Kyo Jing in the Korean drama Boyfriend is based on her.

Although she also works with her father after graduating from a prestigious school, unlike her brother, she wants to take her life into her own hands.

When she was young, she fell in love with Ren Youzai, a bodyguard around her. With four years of persistence, she broke the class barrier, married a poor boy and won love willfully.

She is also full of vitality in the shopping mall and is known as "Little Li Jianxi".

In the 1990s, Samsung was caught in the "quality gate" incident. When Lee Jae-yong hesitated to recall only defective mobile phones, he resolutely proposed to recall all products in the same batch and destroy them.

The forward-looking strategy won the praise of Li Jianxi, and also encountered the headwind of Samsung.

In 200 1 year, Li Fuzhen was assigned to be in charge of the Silla Hotel owned by Samsung.

This hotel was originally just a "back garden" for Samsung to entertain guests. No one paid attention to it and no one expected it to make money.

After Li Fuzhen took over, he used his strong public relations ability to let the hotel host the weddings of Korean superstars such as Gianna Jun, Song Hye Kyo, Zhang Dongjian and Han Caiying. The great attraction of the stars opened up the popularity of this hotel.

The sensational Song Shuang wedding.

20 1 1 year, she personally entered the luxury goods industry and opened the first LV duty-free shop in Korea into a hotel.

Silla Hotel has a market share of more than 30% in Korean duty-free shops, and Samsung Group monopolizes another industry.

In less than/kloc-0.5, the turnover of Silla Hotel doubled, increasing by 650%, and even became a new landmark in Korea.

And she set her eyes on the development of the first all-Hanok hotel in Korea, doing everything herself, often visiting the store to explain, and even developing her own dishes.

Compared with her brother, she is more cautious in every step, always wearing delicate makeup, being elegant and decent in front of people and keeping smiling.

Even when the whole people were watching the divorce, the ex-husband rolled around for money and made all the media pages in Korea. She never responded, took the initiative to sue, and cut the gordian knot.

When she was exposed that she had been "poisoned", she didn't say a word before hundreds of glittering cameras outside the shareholders' meeting, but took a contemptuous look.

Faced with the pressure of her brother Lee Jae-yong and her father's acquiescence, the subsidiaries under her name were sold one by one, so she had to retreat to the sideline of Samsung and protect every inch of her land.

Li Fuzhen, with his mind, vision, ambition, but calm, abruptly fought his way out in the male-dominated Samsung Empire.

After more than ten years of hard work, she became the only female president of Samsung.

Princess royal's reputation and word-of-mouth in the "folk" is far better than that of the prince. Whether he cares about the cross-class for love when he was young, he is keen on charity and takes the initiative to take care of the elderly, or he is always elegant and decisive, killing all directions.

If Lee Jae-yong is involved in a lawsuit in the future, it is not impossible for him to carry the banner.

The cursed family is happy.

Before Li Jianxi left, he was probably most worried not about his Samsung empire, but about the happiness of his descendants.

In his early years, he and his brother turned against each other for family property, and he and his wife were wary of each other all their lives. Family problems have exhausted the old man who has been in politics and business all his life.

And none of his children let him see happiness before he left.

The only son who is most dependent on eccentricity, handsome and elegant, 1998 married Qianjin Lin Shiling, the largest food factory in Korea.

It was also the focus of attention in Korea at that time. The former prime minister of South Korea personally presided over the wedding, and numerous political and business celebrities attended.

Only 10 years after the wedding, Lin Shiling shocked the whole country by filing for divorce with the court.

After a free and easy divorce, Lin Shiling returned to her parents' home, which was "abandoned" by Samsung, and cheered up again. She became a overbearing female president, fell in love with Li Zhengzai, the Korean film queen, and became a "concubine" who tore up the marriage of the rich and powerful.

Lee Jae-yong was involved in many scandals and even sentenced to jail ... In a blink of an eye, he was over half a year old.

Li Fuzhen, the most like the eldest daughter, thought she was married to love, but didn't expect to marry a wonderful flower.

As a door-to-door son-in-law, Ren Youzai can't help the wall, only cares about the cultivation of the Li family. She just wants to spend money, not study. She even contracted the bad habits of drinking and domestic violence during Li Fuzhen's pregnancy.

20 14, Li Fuzhen divorced with a lawsuit of emotional breakdown, and Ren Youzai panicked. In front of the media, I sang a bitter drama one second ago, counting love to retain marriage; The next second, he sang risk, assumed a victim posture, and rebuked the Li family for using power to force marriage.

The two have been separated for 9 years, and the divorce lawsuit alone has gone through the first, second and final trials. After five years of trouble, princess royal finally spent more than 80 million yuan to dump love rat and pay for his waywardness when he was young.

This life is also spent alone.

Li is the youngest daughter, and she is more beautiful than her sisters since she was a child. She is cheerful and naive and studies hard. She is the little princess loved by all Korean people.

Younger daughter: Li

1999, when Li was 20 years old, Lee Kun-hee gave her Samsung shares worth1300 million RMB as a bar mitzvah, which was really in her hand.

But the little princess has a passion in her heart. She doesn't love money or racing, but she falls in love with a man she knows on the racetrack.

This person is also born at the grassroots level, and it is a lesson for the eldest daughter to marry the wrong door. Li Jianxi will never agree this time.

Intimidation, imprisonment, coercion, inducement ... Li Jianxi beat Yuanyang with the ruthless power in the shopping mall.

The boy couldn't bear to see the girl in pain, so he left Korea alone and wanted to return the girl to his parents.

The girl chased the boy, and the boy repeatedly advised her to go back. She deserves a better life.

Heartbroken, the girl returned to Korea and wrote a sentence on the racing helmet used by the boy: Thank you, but you are free.

Then hanged himself at the age of 26.

This has become the pain of Li Jianxi's life.

There is a classic line in the Korean movie "Parasites": "The children of rich families don't even have any wrinkles in their clothes. Money is iron and can iron everything. "

However, the misfortune and pain of the family seems to be a curse that can't be cured. In the Samsung family, it has become an unsolved fate.

In 2008, the day Li Jianxi resigned, he said, "I will leave with all my past mistakes."

Perhaps in his mind, the past is right and wrong, sadness, joy and regret, because he started and will go with him.

But even if he does leave, as long as the empire is still there, the rest will be a new round of intrigue.

Because of the wind, it never stopped and people never dispersed.

The future of Samsung Empire will not rest on anyone's way home.
