Chinanews Client Beijing, August 11 (Reporter Li Jinlei) Li Guoqing and Yu Yu were sued by their sons.

  On the evening of August 9, Li Guoqing posted on Weibo and revealed that he had received a complaint and that he and Yu Yu were both defendants. The plaintiff is a son and requested the court to confirm the validity of the agreement of Li Guoqing and Yu Yu holding Dangdang shares on his behalf.

  On August 10, Dangdang issued a statement stating that the relevant lawsuit was true. Regarding the issue of equity distribution, Yu Yu and Li Guoqing had a "marriage agreement" that the equity ratio of their three parties was 56:24:20, and the industry and commerce changes have been made in accordance with this ratio. Dangdang respects the autonomy of the parties’ will, and believes that the law respects honesty and credibility; and will continue to use legal weapons to defend the legitimate rights and interests of the company and all shareholders and protect the normal operation of the company.

  According to Dangdang.com previously disclosed, specific to the entire Dangdang.com, Yu Yu holds 52.23%, Li Guoqing holds 22.38%, their children hold 18.65% (held by their parents), and the two management partnerships hold 3.58%, 2.93%.

  However, Li Guoqing previously stated that domestic Dangdang has acquired overseas Dangdang, and there is no such thing as his son's shares.

The picture comes from Li Guoqing's Weibo.

Li Guoqing: Son, don't be used as a gunman

  "The mood is very complicated these days" Li Guoqing did not scold his son for being unfilial, but said that he supported his son to defend his rights. "I just handed in my reply. Son, I have never been afraid of a challenge from anyone. Since you have written the battle, I will naturally fight against you under the framework of the law."

  However, Li Guoqing reminded his son: "Although you are very confident, have you ever thought about the consequences of being used as a gun? You are still young and there is still a long way to go."

  "All of your evidence materials this time were provided to you by Yu Yu, right? Although it is the first lawsuit, you have to take full legal responsibility for the authenticity of all the evidence. Yu Yu also helped you find your lawyer. , Right? Did Yu Yu pay the attorney fees for you and ask you to sue your parents? Even if Yu Yu, who was also the defendant in the form, cooperated with you fully, if you want to win, there are really many things to go through. ." Li Guoqing said.

Acting on behalf of the lawsuit intends to preserve Yu Yu's control?

  That night, Li Guoqing posted a second Weibo stating, "My all-time appeal is actually very simple: the court ruled me to divorce and divide the common property", and made a deduction on the steps Yu Yu might take.

  In Li Guoqing's view, Yu Yu divided a part of the husband and wife's common property that would have been very likely to be shared equally through a lawsuit. If successful, it can be very helpful to keep Yu Yu's control in Dangdang.

  "For this reason, Yu Yu did not hesitate to pay the price of the destructive destruction of the family relationship between father and son. This made me drunk too. Ask yourself, no matter how great the benefits are in front of me, at least I, the father, would never think of, let alone. I will use this method to let my son sue his mother to achieve my goal. I have my bottom line, what I can do and what I don’t do.” Li Guoqing said.

  Li Guoqing said that the surrogate litigation will undoubtedly serve as a pawn for the indefinite delay of divorce judgments.

What do lawyers think?

  Zhao Zhanzhu, deputy director of Beijing Zhilin Law Firm, said that according to the current public information, Li Guoqing and Yu Yu should have signed an equity holding agreement with their son. Now the son is suing to confirm that the holding agreement is valid. If the court confirms that the holding agreement is valid, then In the divorce proceedings, Li Guoqing requested an equal share of the equity as the joint property of the husband and wife, so he should first eliminate the equity of his son. As a result, Li Guoqing's final evenly divided equity was far less than one-half, even if he added the equity of other minority shareholders who supported him, it was less than one-half.

  Zhao Zhanzhu pointed out that he currently does not understand the background of Li Guoqing and Yu Yu's signing of the holding agreement with his son, and is not clear about the true reason and purpose behind it. However, judging from common sense, the two have only one son, and the son is not involved in Dangdang’s business management. It does not seem necessary to “grant” equity to the son to hold it on his behalf. It does not rule out that there are other things behind the holding agreement. A deeper arrangement.

  Zhao Zhanzhi believes that Li Guoqing said that his son "If he wants to win, there are really many things to pass." It seems that the validity of this holding agreement should be very controversial, but it is not clear why Li Guoqing claimed that the agreement is invalid. What is it? Article 52 of the Contract Law stipulates the five statutory situations in which a contract is invalid. Will it "cover up illegal purposes in a legal form" or something else?

Netizen: You can make a series

  As soon as the news came out, some netizens commented that "a family who fell in love and killed each other" "this can be made into a TV series!"

  Looking back at Dangdang.com's seizure of power, there is really one wave after another.

  On February 20, 2019, Li Guoqing published the "Open Letter on Leaving Dangdang to Found the Book Club", stating that he officially resigned, left "happy" and started a new journey.

  But it turns out that the so-called "happy" departure is not true.

  In an interview in October 2019, Li Guoqing revealed that he was forced out of the palace by his wife. When he was excited, he got up and threw a water cup. This fall also made Li Guoqing quickly on the hot search.

  Subsequently, Li Guoqing confirmed that he and Yu Yu had separated. The two sides completely turned against each other and broke the news about each other's private life, which caused an uproar. On November 29, 2019, the divorce case of Li Guoqing and his wife opened.

  When the time came to April 26, 2020, Li Guoqing took people to Dangdang to "rob" dozens of official seals and financial seals, and announced that he had been elected as the chairman and general manager of Dangdang and took over Dangdang "in accordance with the law."

  However, Dangdang later stated that Li Guoqing had snatched the official seal and had already called the police and the official seal was invalidated today. The company is currently in the hands of Yu Yu.

  In the end, Li Guoqing's act of grabbing the official seal was not deemed illegal.

  On July 7, Li Guoqing once again led people into Dangdang, opened multiple safes, and took away the data. But this time, Li Guoqing was planted.

  On July 8, the Chaoyang Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau announced that Li Guoqing was under administrative detention. Since then, Dangdang claimed to have recovered the stolen official seal and established a rights protection department to guard against Li Guoqing.

  On July 19, Li Guoqing, who had expired the administrative detention, published an article stating that he will continue to maintain the rights and interests of shareholders under the legal framework.

  Looking at it now, this "Celebrating New Year" drama may continue to be performed. (Finish)
