Taiwan's richest man on October 1, Yu Taiming 's wife Zeng Xinying posted a family outing on social platforms The family photo also accidentally exposed the interior of Guo Taiming's 450 million private jet.
In the photo, Terry Gou and his wife and children are happy and look very happy, but what many people don't know is that Terry Gou had a wife before marrying Zeng Xinying, and this wife made him.
Guo Taiming's ex-wife, Lin Shuru , was born in a wealthy family. She married Guo Taiming when he was down and out. It is a pity that Lin Shuru died one day after Guo Taiming became the richest man in Taiwan, and was not able to enjoy happiness with Guo Taiming.
Today I will talk to you about the story between Guo Taiming and Lin Shuru.
In 1950, Guo Taiming, a native of Nanling Township, Zezhou County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, was born in a very ordinary family in Taiwan. study.
After graduating from the Maritime Academy, Guo Taiming first went to military service. After serving in the military, he worked as a salesman for the Renaissance Shipping Company, and later worked in a pharmaceutical factory.
It was in a pharmaceutical factory, Guo Taiming met Lin Shuru who was an intern in a pharmaceutical factory. At that time, Lin Shuru, regardless of family background, education, or appearance, left Guo Taiming a thousand miles away.
On the background of family background, Lin Shuru is the daughter of Hong Kong's richest man Lin Baixin .
In terms of education, Lin Shuru graduated from the Department of Pharmacy, Taipei Medical College.
In terms of appearance, Lin Shuru was a "flower" when she was in school.
But these two people with such obvious gaps fell in love.
However, Lin Shuru's father, Lin Baixin, was not satisfied with Guo Taiming. He hoped that his daughter and Guo Taiming would break up and find a good family. But Lin Shuru was determined to be with Guo Taiming.
In 1975, Lin Shuru and Guo Taiming entered the palace of marriage despite the opposition of her family. After marriage, she and Guo Taiming had a son and a daughter, Guo Shouzheng , Guo Xiaoling .
A year before Lin Shuru and Guo Taiming got married, Guo Taiming had the idea of starting a business, and he also got the support of Lin Shuru and his mother Chu Yongzhen. However, Guo Taiming has no start-up capital.
In the end, his mother Chu Yongzhen helped Guo Taiming solve the problem of start-up capital. At that time, Yongzhen borrowed 200,000 yuan from the outside, of which 100,000 yuan was used for Guo Taiming's business, and the other 100,000 yuan was used for Guo Taiming and Lin Shuru's marriage in 1975.
So in 1974, Terry Gou and a friend jointly established " Hon Hai Plastic Enterprise Co., Ltd." and successfully married Lin Shuru in 1975.
Just for a poor boy, starting a business is not an easy thing. Although the company was established, it had no business, and Guo Taiming's family lived very poor.
How poor is it?
The family doesn't even have the money to buy milk powder for the children.
In order not to distract and worry about Terry Gou. Lin Shuru insisted that the child drink rice soup for several months.
Compared with the lack of money for milk powder, Guo Taiming has more troubles. Because of the poor management of the company, the friends who were partners at the beginning have withdrawn their shares, and the company is facing the risk of bankruptcy.
At this critical juncture, it was Lin Shuru who made Guo Taiming turn the corner.
At that time, Lin Shuru put down her face and borrowed 700,000 yuan from her family.With this 700,000 Guo Taiming company, the crisis was overcome.
After that, Terry Gou's company gradually got on the right track. By 2001, Terry Gou's Hon Hai Company had a revenue of NT$144.2 billion, ranking among the top 1,000 private enterprises in Taiwan by CommonWealth Magazine.
Guo Taiming is no longer a poor boy.
The wealthy Guo Taiming bought an old castle in the Czech Republic for Lin Shuru in 2000, and named the castle after Lin Shuru's English name "Serena Castle".
It's just that after he developed, Guo Taiming also did something that was sorry for Lin Shuru.
In 1988, Lin Shuru lived far away in the United States, and Guo Taiming lived with Chen Chongmei, an employee of a securities company whom he met in a bar, for a period of time. When Lin Shuru returned to Taiwan in 1992, Guo Taiming decided to break up with Chen Chongmei. But Chen Chongmei was reluctant. She secretly installed a very concealed video recorder in the bedroom, and filmed the scene of her dating with Guo Taiming in November 1992.
With the "secret weapon" in her hand, Chen Chongmei and Guo Taiming finally negotiated a 5 million breakup fee. What made Chen Chongmei very angry was that she only got 3 million in the end. To this end, Chen Chongmei sent a threatening letter to Guo Taiming, as well as Guo Taiming's telephone recordings, nude photos, and sex tapes.
Chen Chongmei's actions made Guo Taiming very angry, he called the police, and Chen Chongmei was eventually sentenced to prison. In the process, Guo Taiming confessed everything to Lin Shuru, and Lin Shuru accompanied him to deal with this problem without crying or making trouble. According to the recollection of Guo Taiming's lawyer Yan Huoyan, Guo Taiming always came with his wife, "Lin Shuru never complained about Guo's extramarital affairs, and always accompanies Guo to deal with it with Yan Yue."
After this incident, Guo Taiming was at peace and lived a good life with Lin Shuru.
It's just that life is too unpredictable. Lin Shuru was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, when she was only 52 years old.
In order to treat Lin Shuru, Guo Taiming spared no expense to find the best doctor and the best hospital for Lin Shuru,Hundreds of millions of dollars were spent. He even believed in feng shui. In 2004, following the advice of a feng shui master, he spent more than 60 million yuan to buy four "Dun Zang" houses as a feng shui house for Lin Shuru who was sick.
However, Lin Shuru still failed to overcome the disease and passed away on March 12, 2005, at the age of 55. The day before her death, Terry Gou became Taiwan's richest man with a fortune of $3.2 billion.
After Lin Shuru's death, Guo Taiming often lamented: "God is not fair to me." He even wanted to retire in grief, but finally gave up under Guo Henian's persuasion. And in order to help more cancer patients, Guo Taiming donated 15 billion yuan to National Taiwan University to set up a 500-bed cancer center.
It was already July 2008 when Guo Taiming remarried. The day before the wedding, Guo Taiming went to Lin Shuru's cemetery. He kissed the statue of his deceased wife three times. He said affectionately: "Serena will always be number one in my heart and will always live in my heart. Always be the second."
In 2009, Guo Taiming and Zeng Xinying's first child was born. To commemorate Lin Shuru, Guo Taiming named the child Guo Xiaoru.
Zeng Xinying revealed in an interview with the media many years later, "No matter how busy he is, whether he is abroad or not, he will return to the country on his ex-wife's death day and birthday, and offer incense to worship. This is a very warm gesture. There will be no other ideas. People have to think positively to have good energy."
When the "National Taiwan University Cancer Center Hospital" donated by Terry Gou was completed in 2018, Terry Gou bluntly said at the Thanksgiving Gala held by the hospital. He was willing to donate to the cancer doctor because of Lin Shuru's death. He said that although Lin Shuru has been away for 13 years, he has never forgotten it. Now the National Taiwan University cancer doctor will become the hope of many cancer patients. He firmly believes that Lin Shuru will be very happy in the spirit of heaven.
