The second-generation entrepreneurship of a wealthy family is indeed an easy model. After all, for them, whether they inherit the family business or stand on their own, they don't seem to have to worry about money, and even the starting point of their business is the end point that many ordinary people can't reach in their lifetime.

Another second-generation female from a wealthy family, officially announced that she had started a business.
Recently, 21-year-old Liu Xiuying opened a dance school in Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong, with a classroom area of about 744 square meters, compared with the rent of other shops in the same area, the outside world conservatively estimates that the rent of each month is at least six figures.
It is said that it is Lu Lijun who pays the rent this time to support her daughter's entrepreneurship, and Da Liu is not seen in the media reports.
Some people joked: The mother is not favored, and even the second generation cannot get the favor and support of the rich father. Is this really the case?
Liu Xiuying's father is Hong Kong's super-rich Liu Luanxiong, who is different from Li Ka-shing and other wealthy people who started out in real estate, and has earned a net worth of 10 billion yuan in the stock market with his outstanding business sense and courage, and is nicknamed "stock market sniper".
Her mother Lu Lijun took a breakup fee of 2 billion yuan that year, but last year it was rumored that she failed to invest in the financial market and lost to bankruptcy, and finally her ex-boyfriend Da Liu came out to save the scene, and later mentioned at a press conference that it was to avoid "children being affected".
It seems that whether it is inheriting the family business or setting up their own business, the second generation of wealthy families are born with their own advantages, and someone pays for it. Today, let's talk about the family story behind the second-generation entrepreneurship of a wealthy family.
1.
/ 7-year-old has a net worth of more than 1 billion,
Da Liu's most beloved daughter fell out of favor? /
Liu Xiuying was born in 2002, 19 years younger than Liu Xiurong, the eldest daughter born to Da Liu's original match Bao Yongqin, and when she still had the upper hand in the battle between her mother Lu Lijun and Gambi, she was also the pearl of Da Liu's palm on the tip of her heart.
And the way the rich express their father's love is to exert their "money ability" anytime and anywhere. For example, when their daughter was not yet born, the mother and daughter received three mansions and luxury cars from Da Liu as gifts.
After Liu Xiuying was born, Da Liu prepared tens of millions of gifts for his daughter: a Leighton Hill mansion with a market value of 20 million and a luxury yacht of 40 million Hong Kong dollars.
At that time, Lu Lijun returned to her mother and moved into the Liu family's mansion. In 2014, Da Liu spent 320 million yuan to auction two rare gems for his daughter, both named "Zoe" (Liu Xiuying's original English name).
Many rich people like to buy diamonds for their daughters, it is said that it is because it is not safe to leave cash for their children who are too young, and they have to collect taxes.
At that time, some media reported that Liu Xiuying, who was only 7 years old, had a net worth of 1.261 billion yuan.
In addition, Lu Lijun spared no effort in cultivating her daughter, and has always implemented a versatile elite education, sending her daughter to study at Hanji International School in Hong Kong.
When she graduated from high school, Liu Xiuying also posted a photo of her graduation dress in the same color as her mother, and there was no lack of admiration for her mother who took care of her newborn while writing a thesis to earn a doctorate.
In 2015, Lu Lijun was invited to attend Hawking's dinner in Cambridge and specially brought Liu Xiuying with her. However, Liu Xiuying did not choose to study abroad, but stayed in Hong Kong to go to university, and will graduate from the Department of Architecture this year.
In addition to her excellent academic performance, Liu Xiuying has many hobbies that are different from those of other wealthy second-generation families. However, the eighth sister found that she was not the kind of person who tasted it lightly, but she could always make a name for herself.
A few years ago, she won four gold medals in kung fu competitions, including five-step boxing, long boxing, southern boxing and sword, which were specially reported by the Hong Kong media who were keen on wealthy gossip, after all, she was the only rich daughter who took the route of martial arts masters~
Liu Xiuying also likes music very much, especially playing guitar and piano, what she shares most on social platforms is her guitar playing and singing, and she has also recorded a personal EP.
In recent years, "martial arts master" Liu Xiuying suddenly became obsessed with ballet again, although she started late, but under the diligent practice, she still achieved remarkable results, and obtained a certificate issued by the Royal Academy of Dance, and was selected for the Hong Kong Ballet.
Not only that, Liu Xiuying also gained the attention of her father Da Liu for a long time. For example, when he participated in the performance of the troupe, he received flowers and handwritten cards from Da Liu, and when he won the ballet performance award, Da Liu also personally sent blessings.
An interesting detail is that two years ago, Liu Xiuying took the initiative to open a social platform in the mainland to update her life dynamics daily. After opening a dance studio recently, she has begun to share her daily class routine on Xiaohongshu:
From the perspective of taking the initiative to start a business and embracing mainland traffic, Liu Xiuying knows how to grasp the traffic password and has her own business thinking.
2.
/ The "abandoned" daughter,
Can't get a share of the rich father's property? /
In fact, at the beginning, Liu Xiuying was also a child who grew up in love, and her parents also loved vigorously for a long time.
At that time, Da Liu was high-spirited, and there were many beautiful female celebrity ex-girlfriends, such as Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, etc. And Lu Lijun can stand out from Da Liu's glamorous ex-girlfriends, which is inseparable from her own ability, she may not be the most beautiful, but she is indeed the most educated.
Lu Lijun was born in a middle-class family, has excellent English, participated in beauty contests, and studied for a master's degree in chemistry at the University of London.
What's even more rare is that Lu Lijun seizes every opportunity to improve herself. Although she gave birth to a much-loved little daughter, she still decided to go to the UK to study for a doctorate, perhaps because Da Liu felt that his girlfriend's high education also put gold on his face, and he also supported her decision very much.
At that time, Lu Lijun was also the "right-hand man" of Liu Luanxiong's career, assisting him in investing in real estate in the UK, investing in art collections in major auction houses, and even joining Chinese Estates to be responsible for the group's investment projects in the mainland and overseas.
But the farce of the two daughters competing for a husband also began to be staged. In October 2008, Gambi gave birth to her daughter Liu Xiuhua, and at the end of the month, major media in Hong Kong suddenly received a statement issued by Lu Lijun as "Mrs. Liu", which angered Liu.
In those years, the two gave birth to sons to Da Liu one after another, and it seemed that there was a draw. Until Liu Luanxiong's health deteriorated and Gambi took care of her, Lu Lijun still only wanted to be a glamorous wealthy woman, and Liu Luanxiong said that she often asked her lawyer when she would die.
In 2016, Liu Luanxiong, who had just recovered from a serious illness, publicly said that he broke up with Lu Lijun, originally thinking that "Mrs. Liu" belonged to her, but she didn't expect to be kicked out by Gambi, who was killed halfway, and she didn't even get a fraction of Da Liu's property.
Da Liu Guangsu married Gambi and divided the property clearly, the eldest son born to the original match, Gambi's son and daughter all got shares, Lu Lijun has a net worth of 2 billion, and the "unknown" under the children's names still looks quite shabby.
At the beginning of last year, Lu Lijun was also revealed to have lost 2 billion yuan in stock speculation, and lost the breakup fee given by Da Liu, although she stood up to refute the rumors, but at the end of November last year, Liu Luanxiong's words at a press conference in Mong Kok, Hong Kong seemed to reveal some information:
"I regret helping that woman (Lu Lijun) many years ago, and I didn't want her to go bankrupt at that time, so I went home and thought about it for a while, it was better to let her go bankrupt, and I didn't think that she would search the water army on the Internet and do these things. ”
Later, at a press conference, Da Liu also specifically mentioned that he helped her to avoid his children being affected by his mother's bankruptcy.
Looking back on Lu Lijun's resume, from having a proud academic background to participating in her career with ease, it proves that she is indeed capable, but because of the past when she was attached to Da Liu and made a lot of trouble, everyone's impression of her always stayed as a "wealthy abandoned woman".
It is undeniable that Lu Lijun is still very attentive in cultivating her daughter, and Liu Xiuying will learn architecture and teach ballet when she grows up, but behind the daughter of a wealthy family who has been quiet for a long time, it seems that she is still inseparable from the support of her rich father.
Time has passed, from being refused to call Da Liu "Dad" by Lu Lijun in order to compete for favor, in the past two years, Liu Xiuying has begun to take the initiative to ease the relationship with her rich father, such as posting a group photo on social platforms, recalling the warm past when father and daughter got along:

/ Entrepreneurship of wealthy children,
The one who pays the bill or the rich dad? /
In addition to Liu Xiuying, in fact, Liu's other two children, that is, a son and a daughter born by Gambi, are still young, and news of entrepreneurship has also been spread in the past two years.
Daughter Liu Xiuhua likes to play slime, the family bought a lot, Gambi was afraid that her daughter's playthings would be demoralized, so she sold them, and got a vending machine, in order to attract customers, the mother and daughter also designed packaging for the product, carried out offline activities, Liu Xiuhua even opened an official Instagram account in style, to promote her own slime.
The fact is that it sold very well, and Liu Xiuhua made a net profit of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in her first business attempt.
In this process, a 10-year-old girl participated in the packaging, publicity, management, and sales of the product, and personally witnessed the process of a product from idea to landing, and also won Liu Luanxiong's appreciation:
If you can manage a vending machine at the age of 10, you will be able to run a family business well in the future.
Son Liu Zhongxue also started a business when he was 11 years old, the direction is desktop card games, I don't know what the market prospect is, but the spokesperson is ready-made, look at the photos of Liu Luanxiong and Gambi's family playing cards at home, which is the best publicity:
If the above two examples seem a little immature, there are many stories of the second generation of wealthy families, such as Li Ka-shing's youngest son Li Zekai, TVB Xiaohua Hu Meiyi, etc.
Li Zekai has always been known for his rebellion, in the media description, he is a media tycoon who tried to escape from his father's influence and was determined to open up new fields, published his autobiography "I Am Myself", and also started his own business to win the reputation of "Little Superman".
But in fact, Li Zekai's success is inseparable from the financial support and influence of the richest man's father, and his first investment relied on the 500 million Hong Kong dollars given by his father. Later, Li Ka-shing repeatedly funded him to acquire the company of his choice.
and TVB Xiaohua Hu Meiyi, her performance in "News Queen" made her remembered by the audience again, but under the big screen, she is still a rich daughter who started her own business.
Hu Meiyi's business tentacles are all over the world, opening restaurants, partnering in a dessert shop, and buying land in Malaysia to grow durian, known as the "Queen of Durian".
Behind the success, it is inseparable from the wealthy original family: his father is a wealthy businessman who has been doing business abroad for many years, and his mother is a doctor. She started her business with a $1 million grant from her wealthy businessman, and later she developed her acting career in Hong Kong, China, and successfully expanded her restaurant business to Hong Kong.
From this point of view, the second-generation entrepreneurship of a wealthy family is indeed an easy model. After all, for them, whether they inherit the family business or stand on their own, they don't seem to have to worry about money, and even the starting point of their business is the end point that many ordinary people can't reach in their lifetime.
But in the final analysis, entrepreneurship depends on whether you are the material, such as Wang Wenye, the "daughter of Huayi" who once stood firmly in the C position in domestic entertainment, is a counterexample.
A few years ago, she tried to be a director and appeared in variety shows, but as Huayi Company lost money and was in debt for many years, Wang Wen also had no such person in domestic entertainment.
So once you leave the "money ability" of the rich father, how far can the second generation of the wealthy family go without ability?
