In the evening, the whole family sat down to have dinner together. Li Fuzhen won't come back until tomorrow due to work reasons, so there are only President Li and his wife, their father and daughter, and his uncle's family of three at the table.
The uncle's family of three does not mean Li Zairong, his wife and son, but Li Zairong, his son and his youngest daughter. His wife Lin Shiling is not here.
The reason why she is no longer is not because she is as busy as Li Fuzhen and has not come back. After Lin Shiling and Li Zairong got married, they basically stayed at home to raise their husband and children and did not take care of any business.
So there is only one reason why they are no longer together at this time, that is, the two are not getting along and are now getting divorced.
The divorce of the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family can be said to have caused quite a stir in South Korea. Even though the Li family tried their best to block the news from the media, the whole matter has aroused heated discussion among the people of South Korea.
As for the reasons for the divorce of the two people, one was due to emotional discord, and the other... Yang Dongxu couldn't help but glance at his mother-in-law, who was sitting next to President Li and had basically not communicated with him since he and Li Fuzhen were together.
If Chairman Lee is the emperor of Samsung, then this is the queen mother of Samsung. It seems that even wealthy families cannot avoid the fact that daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are natural enemies.
Lin Shiling, who had already given birth to a son and a daughter for Li Zairong, almost the entire South Korea knew about the divorce. This shows how far the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has gone.
Of course, half of Yang Dongxu's family couldn't tell who was right or wrong. After all, he rarely stayed in Korea, and even Li Fuzhen rarely went to the house to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
But one thing he knew was that Lin Shiling's natal family, another Korean giant, the Elephant Group, encountered some business difficulties in 2006.
Lin Shiling wanted to ask her husband's family to help her natal family, but the Queen Mother of Samsung refused. Even if this incident was not the trigger of the family conflict that led to divorce, it was at least the straw that broke the camel's back.
Later, it was Li Fuzhen who dealt with it. Yang Dongxu asked Chen Xin to transfer a sum of overseas funds to Li Fuzhen, and this sister-in-law helped out.
Then this year, the global subprime mortgage crisis, the economic downturn, and Lin Shiling's family's company management were in crisis again, and they were about to sell their core assets to survive. As a result, the Li family once again refused assistance. With all these things combined, the divorce seemed to be over. Destined.
Of course, they have their own reasons for not helping Lin Shiling's natal Li family. After all, whether it was the crisis of the Elephant Group in 2006 or this year.
Basically, there are people who take advantage of the opportunity and want to take advantage of Samsung. However, those who have deep roots in the Samsung tree cannot move, so they can only start from the daughter-in-law's family of Samsung. With such roots, the Li family naturally does not want to get involved too much, lest they get tricked. Other people's plans.
But even so, she always stood aside once or twice. Lin Shiling, the daughter-in-law, felt uncomfortable being between her husband's family and her natal family, so it was not surprising that the divorce came to this point.
Of course, the outside world has not yet decided whether there will be a divorce. The couple is currently just in a cold war. Lin Shiling returned to her parents' home, and the final result is still uncertain.
But in the end, Yang Dongxu, who had been through it all, knew it, and the two got divorced. When this matter is postponed until February next year, Lin Shiling will file a divorce lawsuit with the court.
Not only did they ask for custody of their son and daughter, requiring Li Zairong to pay hundreds of millions in child support, but they also demanded the division of hundreds of billions of won in marital property.
Regarding this point, the Li family was quite generous and didn't bother with anything. Basically, Lin Shiling's demands were met, including custody of their children. The couple's marriage, which lasted for ten years, was considered a complete separation.
"Come here and play, don't disturb the adults' conversation."
After the meal, several people got down from the dining table. Mother-in-law Hong Luoxi called out which child she brought to the side to finish.
She has always given people the impression that she loves art and art museum work, and basically doesn't care about the Li family's business.
I usually do this in private, and basically don't ask about the Li family's business matters. But both the Li family and Samsung executives know that the wife of the president has a strong say in many major matters.
The three men went to Chairman Li's study, and the servant left after serving tea.
President Li looked at his son and then at his cheap son-in-law. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was also very unhappy that his daughter had a child with such a man.
But the actual situation is that his cheap son-in-law is much better than his own son. This is a fact that cannot be denied even if he wants to.
And if it weren't for the seniority status of father-in-law and son-in-law, Yang Dongxu would definitely be on an equal footing with him. After all, this is a person who competes with the Morgan consortium and takes advantage of it at stages.
So I looked at my son-in-law, who I was disgusted with but couldn't deny that he was extremely good. Then I looked at my son, who was obviously six or seven years older than Yang Dongxu and was still a little immature. I couldn't worry about taking over the job.
President Li's heart was really upset. For the first time, he awkwardly envied other people's children for being really good.
After his eyes wandered between his son and son-in-law, President Li sighed secretly in his heart and said, "I may not be able to help you much in the future."
"I understand." Yang Dongxu nodded with a smile.
Compared with Lin Shiling, who was stuck in the middle without help from her husband's family and found it difficult to be a good person, Yang Dongxu was much more calm.
After all, he never expected to get any help from Li Fuzhen's family from the beginning. It was not that he thought that the Li family would not help him in cold blood.
But he has seen the overall situation clearly. Samsung is the Samsung of South Korea, the Samsung of the Li family, and the Samsung of Wall Street, plus the American soldiers stationed in South Korea.
The Morgan consortium is the big boss behind the major arms dealers in the United States, and has a huge influence on the U.S. military and national policies. Yang Dongxu is at war with the Morgan consortium. How do you ask the Samsung Li family to help him?
Even if the Li family helps, will the Wall Street bosses who are Samsung's major shareholders be willing?
You must know that these Wall Street bosses are all members of the consortium, and some are even members of Morgan's own consortium. They themselves pay for the enemies to attack them?
No brain circuit in the brain is so weird!
“Some investments in China will also have to be reduced,” Chairman Li continued.
Yang Dongxu nodded again to express understanding. Facing the American consortium and the major Wall Street shareholders of their company, the Li family is really at a loss.
Not only cannot he help his cheap son-in-law, but during the period of confrontation between him and the Morgan consortium, the previous small tricks of starting a new business to leave a way out must also be stopped, otherwise it will definitely be all kinds of discomfort when he is discovered.
So in terms of the constraints they have received, the Korean consortium is really not doing as well as the Benben consortium.
The big guys on Wall Street in the United States are also shareholders of many companies in Japan, and the United States has more troops stationed in Japan. But the Benben consortium used the company and various capital operations in its hands to make a prosperous business in the European and American markets.
Even if Morgan launches an action to carve up the Lehman Brothers consortium this time, several consortiums will have the opportunity to follow suit and share some of the meat. On the other hand, here in Korea...
