84岁企业家发声明：与儿子、儿媳断绝关系

Group 1 - The core issue revolves around the control of the century-old shoe company, Double Star Celebrity, leading to a complete rupture between founder Wang Hai and his son Wang Jun, as Wang Hai announced the severance of all familial ties due to concerns over the latter's American identity and its implications for the Chinese brand [1][5] - The conflict traces back to 2022 when Wang Jun's wife, Xu Ying, acquired 80% control of Qingdao Xingmaida Industrial Co., Ltd., which subsequently obtained 56.96% of Double Star Celebrity's shares, making her the largest shareholder, effectively sidelining Wang Hai [5] - The public confrontation began in May 2025 when Wang Hai accused his descendants of seizing company seals and forcing him out, leading to a prolonged struggle that escalated to the current declaration of severed relations [5] Group 2 - In a significant shift, Wang Hai announced the establishment of a "Double Star Celebrity Brand Successor Committee," advocating for a departure from traditional bloodline succession in favor of capable successors and professional managers [9] - Despite Xu Ying's current advantage in shareholding, Wang Hai's retention of the legal representative status and his intention to pursue legal action suggest that the control dispute over the century-old shoe enterprise is unlikely to be resolved in the short term [9]
