Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 365 My name is Lee Boo-jin, rich for wealth, serious for sincerity

My name is Li Youzhen. Since I have been weak and sickly since childhood, my family has asked someone to tell my fortune.

She then changed her name to Lee Boo-jin, saying that this would be good for her.

Perhaps God, out of guilt, gave himself a super useful brain to make up for it.

Whether studying, living or getting along with others, I never fight, argue or make a fuss. I always make everyone satisfied and there is nothing to fault with me.

It was not until childhood that he accidentally heard his three siblings secretly talking about him, "Mom and Dad are partial, they gave Fuzhen all the good brains and gave them all stupid brains."

After that, I began to distance myself from them, or rather, they also wanted to distance themselves from me, but it doesn’t matter.

From then on, I understood that some relationships cannot be maintained by charity. I want to prove my excellence, which is actually not that difficult. I just need to stop hiding my shortcomings intentionally.

Afterwards, I passed all the assessments within the family with excellent results.

Unlike my older brothers and sisters, I didn’t need any “sponsorship” from my family to attend Korea’s world-renowned Daewon Foreign Language High School, the top-ranked Yonsei University, and then go abroad to continue my studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Perhaps because I am always sick and have always performed well, I am always loved by my father. Every time we go out, people think that I am sensible and hold my father's hand, but in fact, he holds my hand because he is afraid that I will fall.

But my mother always brings my older brother and younger sister with her. Although she says that she likes all my children, countless small things show that my mother likes my brother much more than me and my sisters.

It doesn’t matter, having my father’s love is enough for me.

If only time could stop before I graduated from college, I would never wake up from my dream.

Unfortunately, my father’s name is Lee Kun-hee, and he is the chairman of Samsung Group.

Unfortunately, I not only have two younger sisters, but also a brother.

Unfortunately, I am a girl.
A book in China says that the greater a person's ability, the greater his ambition. I think it is very true.

The book also says that women are just as capable as men, which I think is even more true.

In South Korea, there is no precedent of designating a female heir when there is already a son. It is not uncommon for daughters to not receive any shares.

I know my father loves me very much, and perhaps he would be shaken by the gap in talent between my brother and me.

But when he announced that Alebao shares would become an important capital of Samsung Electronics through a 3:1:1:1 ratio, I gave up. As expected, 3 belongs to Lee Jae-yong!
Although I was heartbroken, I finally found a very interesting question. Life finally started to become a little more interesting. This time I will try to solve this difficult problem seriously.

After graduating from university and returning to China, I first joined the planning team of the Samsung Welfare Foundation. Two years later, I was transferred to the manager of the strategic planning department of Samsung Electronics. Every department has achieved remarkable results through my own "efforts". Of course, this effort made me more clearly aware of the scope of my father's influence in Samsung.

Over the years, I also learned that Samsung was not just my father's Samsung, there were many organizations behind it, and he was just the person in power on the surface, which gave me an opportunity.

But I have to solve the most critical problem first, marriage.

In South Korea, the sons of chaebol families are trained to become heirs, while daughters are merely tools to maintain family interests. Their greatest role is to be used for marriage, and nothing more.

For wealthy families, marriage is never free or based on mutual consent, but rather the best arrangement made based on family needs.

My aunt Lee Sook-hee was also a capable person at Samsung when she was young. Later, she was forced to marry the third son of LG and had no choice but to withdraw from the power struggle at Samsung.

First of all, if I want to stay in Samsung, I must not get married, otherwise my aunt will be a lesson for me. At this time, my father sent a trusted bodyguard over.

Later, I took advantage of the situation and deliberately started a relationship with him.

Sure enough, not long after, the news that the Samsung Princess was in love with her bodyguard spread like wildfire, causing an uproar outside.

After running away from home and going on a hunger strike in protest, she was determined to marry the bodyguard, but in fact she just didn't want to have an arranged marriage.

It was very interesting to see my parents’ reactions at the time. They strongly opposed my rebellious decision, but one of them was real and the other was pretending.

My good brother, who just married the daughter of one of the top Korean chaebols, Elephant Group, also strongly supported my decision behind the scenes.

It was easy to guess his little trick. He just wanted to weaken my reputation and influence in Samsung, so as to anger my father and prevent me from competing with him for the inheritance of Samsung.

Unfortunately, my stupid brother didn’t realize that this was a performance deliberately arranged by my father, and she was just a cooperating actor.

In fact, it was not that my father's acting skills were not superb, but that the bodyguard's flaws were too big. How could a bodyguard who was more handsome and had a better figure have the courage to keep showing his kindness to me? Although I was not in good health and was always sick, I was not blind and saw that this bodyguard had the intention but not the courage to do it.

Just like that, we got married after signing a private agreement to "treat each other with respect and split the money afterwards."

The story of a beautiful, rich and white woman marrying a poor boy is happening in reality. No matter how different their looks, education and family background are, the outside media, the socialite circle and even people all over the world are all shocked, saying that Lee Boo-jin is too naive and is blinded by love.

I was a little speechless when I read the various speculations and gossips in the report. Love? In her eyes, it was just a boring condiment between the weak. Facts have proved that her original decision was not wrong. In the second year after her marriage, her sister Lee Seo-hyun married the second son of the president of Dong-a Ilbo, one of the three major daily newspapers in South Korea. Her brother-in-law was a classmate of Lee Jae-yong and was introduced to her by him.

It's just a pity for my little sister.
Later, his father handed over Samsung's core businesses, Samsung Electronics and Samsung Life, to Lee Jae-yong.

You should know that Samsung Electronics accounts for 60% of the group's revenue and two-thirds of its profits.

Samsung Life is also the largest life insurance company in South Korea (also known as life insurance).

Lee Jae-yong's teacher is Choi Ji-sung, vice chairman of Samsung Group and the right-hand man of his father Lee Kun-hee.

It can be said that no effort is spared to cultivate it.

I only got a hotel that had been losing money for a long time, but what I didn’t expect was that my father actually stayed in the hotel for a month to endorse it.

Then I finally figured out his real motives over the years, and I had become a whetstone for my brother's succession.

Over the next few years, I worked my way up from hotel planning manager to president, during which time I came to understand every detail of the hotel.

The first thing he did after becoming the president was to burn his bridges. He risked business suspension by forcefully laying off the old employees who were just sitting there doing nothing and boldly recruiting a large number of capable newcomers to support them in taking over the positions.

She then upgraded the hotel services, first revolutionizing herself and then launching a strong attack, successfully hosting celebrity weddings and building her reputation through the star effect. Subsequently, all Korean celebrities held banquets and weddings in her hotel, which became a trend.

The Shilla Hotel became well-known in Korea at that time.

In just six years, Shilla Hotel's turnover increased 6 times, with annual revenue reaching 6.5 trillion won (3.6 billion yuan).

At the same time, during this period, he faced off against Shin Young-ja, the daughter of Lotte's founder, and won the final victory. Shilla Duty Free Shop became one of the largest duty-free shops in South Korea along with Shinsegae, Hyundai Department Store, and Lotte, and countless tourists flocked to Korea.
There are even reports from outside media that among the children of the Samsung Lee family, the eldest daughter is the one who looks most like Lee Kun-hee and is called Little Lee Kun-hee.

My brother has been in charge of core business at Samsung in recent years. Although the overall trend of Samsung has been rising year by year, his performance has been mediocre.

My dear father, don’t I also regard my brother as my source of motivation and the whetstone on the road to inheriting Samsung?

Perhaps my performance exceeded my father's expectations.

In fact, after marriage, when her father foresaw her talent for business, he took some measures to restrict herself, such as deliberately supporting the security guard to help her get promoted and weaken her reputation in Samsung. Unfortunately, the bodyguard was ultimately useless.

In the end, she had no choice but to force herself to have a child and leave Samsung for nearly a year. Finally, she had a son through in vitro fertilization. I originally thought that the child's surname would be changed to Li, but unfortunately his brother had a son, so in the end he could only be given the surname Ren.

After returning home with the baby, Lee Jae-yong, at the instruction of his master Choi Ji-sung or father, sold the four companies I had previously managed, further weakening my influence within the group.

A woman has too many limitations in career and marriage. This question really stumped me.
Until a while ago, I saw this man named Chen Mo
South Korea has never lacked handsome stars, whether they are artificial or not, they are all just good-looking.

When I first met him, I just felt that he was just a handsome second-generation rich guy from China. Although his words and deeds seemed a bit indifferent to fame or disgrace, I guess he was just relying on the protection of his family.

Perhaps it was the preconceived impression, coupled with the fact that I was in the middle of a divorce stalemate at the time, or perhaps it was because people of the same kind repel each other, that led to me not having any good feelings towards Chen Mo at the time.

But when my father fainted afterwards, I was really scared. Later I found out that it was just another wonderful performance by the old man.

Under my father's direction, I continued to cooperate silently because I needed my father's help to escape the misery of my marriage.

The bodyguard got divorced, took the money and left with the kids, all in one go.
Then my father authorized me to negotiate with Xiaomi for cooperation on Samsung Electronics’ core business chips, and I knew the opportunity had arisen.

After investigating Chen Mo's relevant information, the cooperation between Samsung and Xiaomi was only a secondary task, and the marriage between himself and Chen Mo was the main task in his father's eyes.

Perhaps his father sensed the crisis and Lee Jae-yong has not yet been able to fully control the entire group, but he is already old, and marrying into the Bian'an Group and forming an alliance with Xiaomi to have more helpers in China is a better choice.

But it was just another exchange of interests.

My father is old and wants to seek a way out, but I am still young, and this is the long step to becoming a god.

During this negotiation trip to China, through nearly a whole day of communication and observation of Chen Mo, my impression of him has changed greatly.

Although Chen Mo is young, he is able to get along with both sides and maneuver with ease in the three-party negotiations. When the negotiations reach a deadlock, he can think about the problem from the perspectives of both sides and seek common ground while reserving differences. Some of his key insights are very forward-looking.

Even someone like me who claims to be independent-minded was persuaded. It shows that the company's scale has exceeded tens of billions in just two years. It is well-deserved. If I were in his shoes and started from scratch, I might have made certain achievements in business, but I would definitely not be able to achieve what Bi'an has achieved today.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

This is even more true for wealthy families, where there has never been any real love.

If there was, it died the year I graduated from college.
I wish all my book lovers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and good health to your family!
