Recently, Li Guoqing, founder of Dangdang.com and chairman of Xiangjuan, revealed that he had been divorced and became a "free man" while participating in Guangdong Satellite TV's special financial program "Q&A". When Li Guoqing was asked about "who initiated the divorce first," he said emotionally, "There is a dispute over who initiated the marriage first. It was obviously her (Yu Yu) who proposed the marriage." Afterwards, he said that he was truly divorced and he was now free. At the same time, he also expressed that he felt lighter now and could start love and family again.
This means that Li Guoqing's "divorce war" that lasted for more than four years has finally come to an end. Become the "last melon" in 2023.
After revealing that he was divorced and felt young, Li Guoqing also emphasized that he believed in marriage. "Especially now that I have no money, and I am not afraid of being cheated."
However, Li Guoqing still expressed regret. He pointed out that for more than 20 years (as a couple), we had been working together on Dangdang, regardless of who contributed more or less, but it was a pity that we could not continue due to financial reasons or company decisions.
"After all, it has been twenty years. We have been together and separated for so long, so why should we let everyone take advantage of us? This is my biggest regret."
When asked, "Are he and Yu Yu still friends?" Li Guoqing replied, "Of course not, we have stopped contacting and talking to each other." Both parties communicate through lawyers for any matters. (Yu Yu) If you still attack and slander yourself like this and still be friends, you won’t be able to tell right from wrong. However, Li Guoqing said that his hatred for Yu Yu has passed.
In the show, Li Guoqing also responded to the "scandal" between him and Michelle Ye that was previously reported on the Internet.
Li Guoqing said that he and Michelle Ye have never dated alone, "I have never met alone". We had a meal together organized by the company and had lunch boxes for two live broadcasts.
Li Guoqing said that Michelle Ye came to the live broadcast to support the company's book charity live broadcast. And he said that he did not want to be hyped for "scandals".
Li Guoqing said that when he was studying in the morning and evening, many investors expressed their desire to help with financing, but he rejected them all. "If the business model doesn't work out, I will just fund it myself."
The marriage crisis between Li Guoqing and Yu Yu has been going on for many years and has attracted a lot of attention.
In 2019, Li Guoqing suddenly announced his resignation from Dangdang. After that, he began to post articles online to accuse Yu Yu. He claimed that the other party drove him out of the company and also ran away from several senior executives.
In July 2019, Li Guoqing submitted a complaint to the court to divorce Yu Yu, but Li Guoqing said that Yu Yu did not agree to the divorce because the relationship had not broken down.
This also kicked off the "divorce drama" between Li Guoqing and Yu Yu.
In October 2019, when Li Guoqing participated in the "Dreamers" program, when talking about the details of being "forced into the palace" by Yu Yu, he suddenly smashed the water glass in his hand and emphasized that Yu Yu used conspiracy and tricks to force him to leave.
The "cup-breaking incident" made Yu Yu, who had been silent for a long time, speak out publicly. She posted a long complaint, and the content was very "bloody". Yu Yu not only accused Li Guoqing of not leaving home cleanly and taking away 130 million in cash from his home; he also accused him of lying about everything.
At this point, the conflict between Li Guoqing and Yu Yu is no longer limited to the internal struggle for management rights within the company, but has also been mixed with emotional issues between the two parties, making the conflict increasingly complicated.
At the end of November 2019, the divorce case between Li Guoqing and Yu Yu was heard in Beijing. The main point of dispute was the distribution of equity in Dangdang. However, the two parties did not reach a consensus at this hearing.
On April 26, 2020, Li Guoqing and four big men broke into Dangdang Company and took away dozens of official and financial seals. Dangdang immediately declared that the official seal seized by Li Guoqing was invalid, and then Li Guoqing began a series of "personnel appointments and removals", announcing that he would take over Dangdang and "remove" Yu Yu.
In June 2020, the divorce case of Li Guoqing and Yu Yu was heard in the second instance at the Dongcheng District People's Court. Only the breakdown of the relationship was cross-examined, and the verdict was not announced.
In the same month, the case of Li Guoqing's official seal robbery was closed, and the police investigation concluded that Li Guoqing had committed no illegal acts. Dangdang responded that it was shocking and had submitted for administrative review.
In August 2020, Li Guoqing and Yu Yu were sued by their son, requesting the court to confirm the validity of the agency holding agreement for Li Guoqing and his wife to hold Dangdang shares on their behalf.
Since then, there have been few reports on the progress of the divorce lawsuit between Li Guoqing and Yu Yu.
In October 2022, Yu Minhong and Li Guoqing had a live broadcast on Mai together. At that time, it had been more than 4 years since Li Guoqing and Yu Yu separated. During the live broadcast, when Li Guoqing was asked "Does he have a new girlfriend?" he hurriedly emphasized "No". The second-instance judgment has not yet come down, and the divorce cannot be officially called until the second instance is completed.
Judging from this, the court announced the verdict on the divorce case between Li Guoqing and Yu Yu this year, and Li Guoqing officially became a "free agent."
