Here we need to give you some popular science first.

The legal representative is not equivalent to the actual controller of the company. He is also employed by the company and is an employee of the company, and the relationship between him and the company is a labor contract.

This time Liu Qiangdong directly resigned from JD.com. Many netizens expressed doubts, was Liu Qiangdong forced into the palace? Do you even want to give up JD.com, which you founded by yourself?

Some netizens speculated that even though 20 months have passed since the "Liu Qiangdong Minnesota sexual assault incident" , Brother Dong was still seriously injured by the female college student. After going around from the business section to the legal section to the social section to the entertainment section, it returned to the business section.

Event Review

In August 2018,

Liu Qiangdong was accused of raping a female University of Minnesota student in her apartment after attending a dinner party in a residential area. On the evening of August 31, Liu Qiangdong was temporarily detained by the local police. Liu Qiangdongfang emphasized that the relationship was voluntary for both parties.

On September 1, 2018,

Liu Qiangdong was acquitted and returned to China immediately. JD.com officially stated that this was a false accusation.

On December 21, 2018, the Minnesota prosecutor in the United States announced the investigation results of the Liu Qiangdong incident and decided not to prosecute. This also means that the case is officially closed and Liu Qiangdong is not guilty.

In April 2019,

four months after the U.S. prosecutors decided not to prosecute criminally, a female college student at Minnesota State University who had earlier accused Liu Qiangdong of sexual assault formally filed a civil lawsuit against Liu Qiangdong, claiming that the lawsuit included intent to injure and assault, illegal He was charged with six counts of restriction of freedom and sexual assault, and requested compensation of US$50,000.

The civil lawsuit had its first hearing on September 11, 2019. However, Liu Qiangdong’s lawyer believed that the plaintiff did not properly serve the relevant information of the case, and proposed that the plaintiff should use the international procedure of the "Hague Convention" for service. Da.

(According to the procedures stipulated in the Hague Service Convention, litigation documents must be forwarded by the government. This operation generally has room for delay and operation, which takes about six months to a year.)

In other words, the outcome of the matter has not yet been concluded...right or wrong Let everyone judge for themselves.

Actually, the tidbits about Liu Qiangdong in the early days are quite interesting, such as "founding JD.com by selling CDs", marrying a milk tea girl and reaching the pinnacle of life, but "doesn't know the beauty of his wife" .

However, after the "Minnesota" incident, Liu Qiangdong's reputation was greatly damaged, his behavior was much "low-key", and his public appearances on social media and in front of the public were also much less.

Although ordinary consumers will not choose whether to buy things on JD.com because of Liu Qiangdong's personal image, as the "number one person", Liu Qiangdong has long been tied to JD.com. With JD.com’s influence, must shoulder more social responsibilities.

Today’s JD.com operations are very stable, and Liu Qiangdong no longer needs to act as a publicity stunt. It is also a wise move for to gradually dilute the personal color of JD.com.

It is worth mentioning that although Liu Qiangdong resigned as the legal representative of JD.com, JD.com’s latest financial report shows that Liu Qiangdong holds JD Group 15.4% equity, is the second largest shareholder, and the voting rights are 79%, Huanghe Investment, a subsidiary of Tencent , is the largest shareholder, but its voting rights are only 4.5%. Liu Qiangdong still maintains absolute control over JD.com . This may be the so-called "retirement without rest"!

So, Apple has not collapsed without Steve Jobs, , Jack Ma, Alibaba will have nothing to do with it, and JD.com will not panic if it leaves Dong Ge.
