The detailed report on ATV's morning news shocked all citizens!

"Mr. Ma Zhichao profited HK$6.5 million by shorting the Lin Group!"

"Starting today, the Lin Group will officially withdraw from the ATV board of directors, and all its shares will be transferred to Mr. Ma Zhichao..."

"Mr. Ma Zhichao currently owns 74% of Asia Television's shares, making him the largest shareholder and chairman of the board..."

"Currently, Mr. Ma Zhichao owns New Era Media Company, New Era Beverage Company, New Era Apparel Company, as well as Umbrella Company and Asia Television... According to expert assessments, his assets and brand value have exceeded 20 billion!"

All Hong Kong citizens: "………………"

West Kowloon Police Station: "………………"

Criminal Intelligence Section, Political Department: "………………"

Director Cai Yuanqi: "………………"

Various clubs: "………………"

who am I?

where am I?

What happened to Ma Zhichao?

Damn, in just 4 months, his net worth has exceeded 20 billion?

Am I out of my mind, or did I mishear?

Or is the world wrong?

……

At this time,

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) received an anonymous tip-off:

— Ma Zhichao has suspected unexplained overseas funds, which are suspected to be related to multiple cases of kidnapping and extortion by wealthy individuals!

Liu Yixiong, who was unwilling to accept defeat, secretly caused trouble for Ma Zhichao!

Chapter 129 Pepsi Poisoning Incident (10,000 People)! ICAC Director Lu Zhi

When William, the head of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), received the anonymous tip-off letter about Ma Zhichao, he was taken aback.

Ma Zhichao?!

The Special Branch had always suspected Ma Chi-chiu of having problems and had been making trouble for him. Now that the Special Branch was about to be disbanded, this task was transferred to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

William, the person in charge, summoned one of his capable subordinates, Yu Hongsheng.

"Chief!"

"Inspector Yu, this is a tip-off letter about Ma Zhichao. Investigate Ma Zhichao immediately based on this lead."

"Ma Zhichao?" Inspector Yu was taken aback.

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No, sir!"

"Then let's go out and take care of this!"

"Yessir!"

Yu Hongsheng quickly returned to his office, opened the letter of complaint, and began to read it. The letter contained no actual evidence against Ma Zhichao; it was all based on hearsay.

However, if the leader ordered an investigation, then the leader must have their reasons, and he naturally had to investigate thoroughly. Moreover, he had been paying attention to Ma Zhichao; his recent rise had been rather rapid, and it was worth investigating.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is the most distinctive anti-corruption agency on Hong Kong Island.

It was directly responsible to the Grand Commander, and its power was immense.

However, don't assume that the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is truly 'righteous and awe-inspiring'.

At the inception of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), its personnel consisted of three parts:

First: Officials were transferred from the Political Department

Second: Victoria dispatched officials

Third: Chinese youth with ideals and aspirations.

They were led by the head of the Special Branch, and in the following decade or so, most of the Special Branch officers were promoted and given important positions, becoming the backbone of the Hong Kong Police Force.

This shows that

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is merely a tool of the Grand Marshal and the Special Branch!

"Zhilian, come to my office."

Yu Hongsheng called his trusted subordinate, Lu Zhilian, to come over.

Not long after,

Lu Zhilian knocked on Yu Hongsheng's office door.

"Inspector Yu!"

"Here is a whistleblower letter. It's quite sensitive, and I need you to investigate it."

Lu Zhilian opened the envelope and his bronze face froze.

"Ma Zhichao?"

“That’s right, it’s him. You should have seen the news this morning. I heard his net worth has exceeded 20 billion… so the higher-ups want you to investigate him.”

“However, this whistleblower letter is a bit far-fetched, with no evidence whatsoever. Won’t this have a negative impact on the investigation?” Lu Zhilian hesitated for a moment. The ICAC receives hundreds of such far-fetched letters every day, and the ICAC doesn’t usually pay too much attention to them.

Therefore, Lu Zhilian had a feeling that someone was going to retaliate against Inspector Ma.

"The higher-ups ordered an investigation, so we went to investigate. What problems did we encounter?"

"No problem, sir!"

Lu Zhilian stood at attention and said solemnly.

After returning, Lu Zhilian quickly began to allocate manpower and start investigating Ma Zhichao.

……

……

At this time, Zheng Daheng, one of the four major families.

He had just arrived at work and was sitting in his office when the newspaper covers on his desk caught Zheng Daheng's attention.

Shocking! Ma Zhichao takes over ATV, Lin family withdraws in disgrace!

Zheng Daheng was stunned for a moment!

"What happened?"

If he remembered correctly, didn't Ma Zhichao just acquire 28% of his shares?

At that time, he deliberately raised the price, causing Ma Zhichao to bleed a lot of money.

Zheng Daheng read the news with curiosity.

2 minutes later,

Zheng Daheng looked shocked!

Ma Zhichao promoted suits in his movie and then used public opinion to attack Lin's Clothing's stock, causing it to plummet by 45%. In the end, Lin's Clothing was forced to sell its shares in ATV to save the company.

"This Ma Zhichao... he's got something!"

This was the first time he had ever looked at Ma Zhichao with new respect.

Lin Daheng, a seasoned shrew in the business world for decades, actually fell victim to a newbie.

"However, Ma Zhichao also benefited from the deal."

"If it weren't for those three kidnappings, the Lin family wouldn't be so short of money. Otherwise, the outcome would be uncertain!"

After learning all this, Zheng Daheng stopped paying attention.

After all, in Zheng Daheng's eyes, neither Lin nor Ma Zhichao could be considered rivals.

……

……

Ma Zhichao was unaware that the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was targeting him, nor was he aware that Zheng Daheng was looking down on him.

At this time, he had just taken over ATV and was extremely busy at the ATV building. By the time he finished his initial tasks, it was already 21 p.m.

Tian Yangsi went directly to ATV to report to Ma Zhichao on the third day's findings of "Infernal Affairs".

"Today, perhaps because of the news that you, boss, have taken over ATV, the people of Hong Kong have been stimulated, which has led to the box office of 'Infernal Affairs' reaching 450 million, which is an increase rather than a decrease. The total box office for three days has exceeded 1223 million."

"In addition, sales of suits also increased, with 5.8 sets sold..."

"As for cola, it didn't perform as well as the suits; most citizens still prefer Pepsi."

Ma Zhichao smiled and said, "No rush. Things haven't really gotten out of hand with Pepsi yet... Just wait and see, it should be over in the next day or two."

Ma Zhichao thought for a moment: "Our company has more than 2 people, right? If we give each person two sets, that's 5.8 sets today, a total of 10 sets. We'll claim to sell 40 sets a day..."

Tian Yangsi couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Good heavens, it's doubled!!

Ma Zhichao: "In addition, I've arranged for ATV reporters to film some footage at the warehouses and stores, which will be broadcast on the news tomorrow morning..."

Now ATV is his own, with the second largest shareholder being Stanley Ho from Macau. So basically, he has complete control over the TV station, and can do whatever he wants with it.

Tianyangsi: "Boss, production can't keep up right now. The stock we prepared a month ago is almost all used up."

Ma Zhichao: "Call the mainland and tell them to start production at full capacity today. Send someone to the mainland to keep a close eye on things and strictly control the quality."

Tian Yangsi: "Okay, boss."

……

How popular are Ma Zhichao's new-era suits right now?
