Whatever the truth, BC Lee decides that both men will have to leave the business, for now, at least.

And all of this leaves him with a new problem.

With his first and second sons out of the running, who can he now trust to lead Samsung when he's gone?

In his heart of hearts, he knows the answer.

He knows who he has to choose, who he's already chosen, albeit not officially.

but it's a very unusual step.

It's mid-September 1976, seven years since B.C.

Lee's betrayal in the letter to the Blue House.

He's delayed this moment for long enough, but time is running out.

A few days from now, things could look very different.

Tomorrow, he's flying to Japan for surgery.

While he'd been in Tokyo that summer, he'd gone for a hospital checkup, and the doctors had found a stomach ulcer.

They'd told him it was cancerous, so tonight he's called a family meeting.

The assembled guests already know about their father's cancer, and they've probably guessed about the other big news he'll be revealing tonight.

Lately, he has been reflecting on what makes a good leader.

The Samsung Group now has around 100,000 employees and more than a dozen subsidiaries.

What qualities should its next chairman possess?

Virtue, trustworthiness, reliability, creativity, good judgment, drive.

The courage to take responsibility.

Do any of his sons have all of those qualities?
