Hong Kong Island King Fried

Chapter 118 Complete Separation
Central, Cheung Kong Building, Queen's Road, Hong Kong Island Securities and Futures Commission, Regulatory Commission Office.

British inspector Davis took off his thick glasses, carefully resealed an anonymous letter that had been opened and read in his hand, and then called the secretary.

"Philip, I now have reason to suspect that Lu Guo Group has committed a large number of violations in the course of these years of operation, and is now facing great operating difficulties. Immediately suspend Lu Guo's listing review work and freeze the listing process. "

The secretary was slightly taken aback.

After closing the office door behind his back, he said, "Mr. Davis, Lu Guo Group has been preparing to go public for a long time, and Fenghua International has played a big role behind it. Is it appropriate to suspend it now?"

Looking at the Chinese subordinate in front of him who has been with him for three years, Davis waved his hand to signal him not to continue talking.

"Philip, I know that you Chinese will consider all kinds of relationships when doing things, and finally make a comprehensive balance. I have been in Hong Kong Island for so long, and I have gradually gotten used to it, and think that this comprehensive consideration is more in line with reality.

However, don't forget that although the Securities Regulatory Commission is a department independent of the government's civil service system, it is directly responsible to the Financial Secretary and is responsible for maintaining the financial stability of Hong Kong Island. "

As he said that, he clicked on the anonymous letter on the desktop: "Now I have received a report about Lu Guo. Although there is no way to confirm whether it is true or not, but only one of the dozens of reports is true, Lu Guo must There are hidden dangers. In addition, Lu Hantao, the major shareholder of Lu Country, passed away suddenly, and a large number of middle-level managers left. Under such circumstances, I also think that it is not suitable for listing for the time being."

As a boss and a British official, although Davis treats people with a gentlemanly demeanor, he has always been vigorous and resolute in his work on weekdays, and he can even be said to be a bit arbitrary. He rarely explains too much to his subordinates, especially Chinese subordinates.

Today, seeing him patiently talking so much, the secretary knew very well that there was no room for further discussion on this matter, so he nodded and left without saying anything more.

After the secretary left the office, Davis got up and locked the letter in the safe, preparing to arrange special personnel to investigate.

In fact, before 1970, the securities and commodity markets on Hong Kong Island were almost unregulated. It was not until after the stock market crash in 1973 that the government intervened and formulated simple laws, which were implemented by a part-time inspection committee.

However, in the following ten years, due to limited power and other reasons, this committee did not play its due role, and the financial market remained in a chaotic state with almost no supervision.

It was not until 87 that a full-time China Securities Regulatory Commission was established.
And Davis, a high-achieving student at the University of London and a mid-level official in the colonial government who had worked in the Financial Secretary for many years but had no hope of reaching the top level, had the opportunity to show his talent and advance to a higher level.

Unexpectedly, he was just promoted to the highest level of the China Securities Regulatory Commission last year, which is commonly known as one of the "six major supervisory committees", and he encountered a big stock market crash again.

Policies and supervision are constantly improving, and the financial black hands in the market are also constantly improving. Everyone knows that some people are behind the big stock market disaster, but it is difficult for everyone to find evidence, so they can only let those people play tricks. rain.

As the directly responsible departments, the six supervisory committees of the China Securities Regulatory Commission have been under great pressure for more than a year.

Just now the secretary mentioned Fenghua Group...

Smith smiled, and if there was no support from Fenghua Group, perhaps Lu Guo could still be spared;
Now that there are so many clues and Fenghua Group is implicated, it will be impossible for Lu Guo to go public again!Maybe, they can also take this opportunity to find Fenghua.

"After so many years on Hong Kong Island, the many ways of doing things and traditional wisdom of the Chinese are really worth studying." Smith thought.

……

……

Fenghua Group Headquarters.

Ma Zhihua, who is nearly sixty years old, stands at the window on the 48th floor, overlooking the entire Victoria Harbor from a commanding height.

He has maintained this habit for many years. Since he first entered the workplace in his twenties, he especially likes to stand on a high place and look at the bustling scenery of Hong Kong Island.

It's just that when he was young, he didn't have such an exclusive office. When he saw these scenery, he was more envious; but now, he has it.

In the hearts of these billionaires on Victoria Peak, the real masters of Hong Kong Island have never been British.

That’s why there are landlords’ associations, so after many financial crises, landlords’ associations gradually deteriorate.

There are a few things that bothered Ma Zhihua recently.
On the stock market, Fenghua's stock price continued to plummet after the shooting, falling from more than 90 to more than 60.

In addition, the government's attitude towards Fenghua Group is becoming more and more tough.

In the last municipal planning, without reaching any tacit agreement with him, he unilaterally turned eight pieces of land in his hand into municipal land,

This is a very dangerous signal.

Not only him, but all the richest people in Hong Kong do not want to see the government having too strong control.

Ma Zhihua made a counterattack without hesitation, and even used some very secret forces to help Lu Hantao solve his confidant's troubles, and also wanted to exchange land with Lu Guo.

To be honest, the eight pieces of land are important, but more importantly, is the attitude, expressing one's dissatisfaction to the government.

The cooperative struggle between the tycoons on Hong Kong Island and the government has never stopped for decades, but there are more and more villas on Victoria Peak, which itself can reflect some problems. Gaining, at this time, they will stop tacitly.

Unexpectedly, many things happened inexplicably in Lu Guo immediately, such as the shooting case and the death of Lu Hantao. Each of them seemed to be a coincidence or accident. But when a series of coincidences and accidents are added up, it can be seen from a height. An invisible hand is clearly seen.

At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, holding a stack of documents.

"Mr. Ma, here are a few documents related to Lu Guo. Would you like to have a look?"

"Tell me." Ma Zhihua stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking into the distance, and said without looking back.

"The China Securities Regulatory Commission has suspended the listing approval process of Lu Guo Group...

The New Territories Police Headquarters received instructions from their superiors and began to investigate the cause of death of Lu Guo and Lu Hantao...

A prison guard in Stanley Prison is being questioned by an internal investigation...

Lu Jinqiang, deputy general manager of Lu State, led 22 middle-level employees to resign collectively, and took away nearly a thousand rights and 60 square feet of unbuilt land. Responses from the six townships of the Lu family in the New Territories...

Lu Yongyu, the new chairman of Lu Guo's board of directors, is in poor health and was hospitalized yesterday for recuperation. The police sent guards..."

The secretary's tone was calm, and he articulated twelve pieces of news in a row, ten of which were related to Lu Guo.

Each of them is a 'major event' for the Lu Kingdom, but on the surface, none of the twelve are related to Fenghua.

Ma Zhihua's face became more and more gloomy.

"Understood, you go to the relevant departments and tell the following to cancel the cooperation with Lu Guo completely. In addition, ask Hua Jun to come to see me."
