Chapter 1776: Rich Family Affairs

The whole family sat down to eat together in the evening. Li Fuzhen would not be back until tomorrow due to work, so there were only Chairman Li and his wife, his father and daughter, and his eldest brother-in-law's family of three at the table.

The eldest brother-in-law's family of three did not mean Li Zairong, his wife and son, but Li Zairong, his son and his youngest daughter. His wife Lin Shiling was not there.

The reason for not being there was not because she was as busy as Li Fuzhen and did not come back. After Lin Shiling and Li Zairong got married, she basically stayed at home to take care of her husband and children and did not manage any business.

So there was only one reason for not being there at this time, that is, the two were not in harmony and were getting divorced.

The fact that the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family was getting divorced caused quite a stir in South Korea. Even though the Li family tried their best to block the news from the media, the whole thing had already caused heated discussions among the entire Korean people.

As for the reason for the divorce of the two, one was emotional discord, and the other was... Yang Dongxu couldn't help but glance at his mother-in-law who was sitting next to Chairman Li and had basically not communicated with him since he was with Li Fuzhen.

If Chairman Li is the emperor of Samsung, then this is the queen mother of Samsung. It seems that even the wealthy cannot avoid the fact that daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law are natural enemies.

Lin Shiling, who has given birth to a son and a daughter for Li Zairong, is about to divorce almost all over Korea. This shows how bad the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is.

Of course, Yang Dongxu, who is half a family member, can't tell who is right or wrong. After all, he rarely stays in Korea, and even Li Fuzhen rarely goes to her home to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

However, he knows one thing, that is, in 2006, Lin Shiling's family, another Korean wealthy family, the Elephant Group, encountered some difficulties in business.

Lin Shiling wanted her husband's family to help her family, but was rejected by the Queen Mother of Samsung. Even if this matter was not the fuse of the family conflict that led to divorce, it was at least one of the straws that broke the camel's back.

Later, Li Fuzhen intervened and Yang Dongxu asked Chen Xin to transfer a sum of money from overseas funds to Li Fuzhen. The sister-in-law helped.

Then this year, the global subprime mortgage crisis caused an economic downturn. The company of Lin Shiling's family was in crisis again and was about to sell its core assets to make ends meet. As a result, the Li family refused to help again. With all these things added up, divorce seemed inevitable.

Of course, the Li family also had its own reasons for not helping Lin Shiling's family. After all, whether it was the crisis of 2006 or this year's Elephant Group.

Basically, someone took the opportunity to mess with Samsung, but Samsung was too big and deep-rooted, so those people could only start from the Samsung daughter-in-law's family. With such a root, the Li family naturally did not want to get involved too much, so as not to fall into other people's schemes.

But even so, once or twice, Lin Shiling, as a daughter-in-law, always stood by and watched. It was not easy for her to be caught between her husband's family and her family, so it was not surprising that she got divorced.

Of course, the outside world has not yet determined whether they will divorce. The couple is currently just in a cold war. Lin Shiling has returned to her family, and the final result is still uncertain.

But Yang Dongxu, who has experienced it, knows the final result. The two divorced. When this matter is delayed until February next year, Lin Shiling will file a divorce lawsuit with the court.

Not only did she ask for the custody of her son and daughter, and asked Li Zairong to pay hundreds of millions of won in child support, but she also asked for the division of hundreds of billions of won in marital property.

The Li family was quite generous and did not make any entanglement about this. Basically, all the demands raised by Lin Shiling were met, including the custody of the children. The couple's marriage, which lasted for ten years, was completely severed.

"Come over here to play, don't disturb the adults' conversation."

After dinner, several people came down from the table, and mother-in-law Hong Luoxi called out which child to take to the side.

She always gave people the impression that she was fond of art and art museum work, and basically didn't care about the business of the Li family.

She usually did this in private, and basically didn't ask about the business of the Li family. But whether it was the people of the Li family or the senior executives of Samsung, they all knew that the wife of their chairman had a lot of say in many major matters.

The three men went to Chairman Li's study, and the servants left after serving tea.

Chairman 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 angry that his daughter followed such a man and had a child.

But the actual situation is that his cheap son-in-law is much better than his son. This is a fact that he can't deny.

And now, if it weren't for the seniority of father-in-law and son-in-law, Yang Dongxu would definitely be qualified to be on equal footing with him. After all, this is a person who is arm-wrestling with the Morgan Consortium and taking advantage of it at a certain stage.

So he looked at his son-in-law, who he couldn't deny but was extremely excellent, and then looked at his son who was obviously only six or seven years older than Yang Dongxu, and was still a little immature, and he couldn't rest assured to hand over the job to his son.

Chairman Li's heart was really full of mixed feelings. For the first time, he was very awkwardly envious of other people's children.

After his eyes wandered between his son and son-in-law, Chairman Li sighed in his heart and said, "I may not be able to help you much in the future."

"I understand." Yang Dongxu smiled and nodded.

Compared to Lin Shiling who didn't get any help from her husband's family and was caught in the middle and had a hard time, Yang Dongxu was much calmer.

After all, he didn't expect to get any help from Li Fuzhen's family from the beginning. It's not that he thought the Li family would not help him.

But he had seen the big picture clearly. Samsung is South Korea's Samsung, the Lee family's Samsung, and Wall Street's Samsung, plus the US soldiers stationed in South Korea.

The Morgan Consortium is the big guys behind the major US arms dealers, and has a huge influence on the US military and national policies. Yang Dongxu went to war with the Morgan Consortium. How can you ask the Samsung Lee family to help him?

Even if the Lee family helped, would the big guys on Wall Street, who are the major shareholders of Samsung, be willing?

You have to know that these Wall Street big guys are all from the consortium, and some are even from Morgan's own consortium. They pay money to help the enemy fight themselves?

Even the brainless brain circuits are not so weird!

"Some investments in China should also be reduced." Chairman Li continued.

Yang Dongxu nodded again to show his understanding. Facing the US consortium and the major shareholders of his company on Wall Street, the Lee family is really tied up.

Not only can't he help his cheap son-in-law, but during the period of confrontation between him and the Morgan consortium, the previous tricks of starting a new business and leaving a way out must be stopped, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable if it is discovered.

So from the perspective of the clamps it has received, the Korean consortium is really not as good as the Benben consortium.

The bigwigs of Wall Street in the United States are also shareholders of many companies in Benben, and the United States has more troops stationed in Benben. But the Benben consortium has made great progress in the European and American markets by using its companies and various capital operations.

Even when Morgan launched the action of dividing the Lehman Brothers consortium this time, several Benben consortiums also have the opportunity to follow behind and share some meat. On the other hand, on the Korean side.
