Hong Kong variety show: An undercover agent from Infernal Affairs? I'm not human anymore!

Next, reporters took turns asking questions.

The public is naturally more willing to believe Ma Zhichao, Officer Ma!

……

Clearly, most ordinary citizens still strongly support the Umbrella Corporation.

……

As soon as the press conference ended,

All the reporters present turned their heads in surprise.

Damn it, this is outrageous!

All radio stations in Hong Kong reported this major news immediately.

However, Chen Anxin felt that 90% of these guys, who weighed over 100 pounds, were rebellious.

"And Inspector Ma has lived up to his reputation for speaking out for justice last year."

She naturally knew that Fang Siwei was Ma Zhichao's woman, so she was very unhappy about it.

Ma Zhichao frowned, tapping his fingers on the table as he pondered.

"This prosecution is very beneficial to Hong Kong Island..."

Chen Anxin coldly said, "Miss ATV reporter, what you said is a generalization and is wrong. For example, there were very few kidnapping cases in the 80s, but now there are dozens every day and hundreds every month. This happened after the Umbrella Corporation appeared. Does that prove that all the kidnapping cases were carried out by the Umbrella Corporation?"

"Asia Television is unique in the news industry, and its news viewership is generally over 80%. This reporter believes that ATV is qualified to ask Director Chen a question."

"The monopolistic practices of these 'protective umbrella' companies have indeed created many social problems..."

Anyway, the objective has been achieved. I'm sending a signal to the entire city of Hong Kong that I'm going to take action against Ma Chi-Chiu, and strike hard! Let Ma Chi-Chiu feel the thunderous wrath of Robinson!

Chen Anxin looked at Fang Siwei, suppressing her displeasure: "Miss ATV reporter, what's your question?"

As time went on, public opinion in Hong Kong increasingly turned in favor of Ma Zhichao.

She thought that a major newspaper like Ming Pao couldn't possibly be in cahoots with Ma Zhichao, could it?

These journalists gave a long, enthusiastic account of the prosecution by the Provincial Administration Commission.

There's a saying, "First impressions matter."

She scanned the room, and reporters from the media reached out their hands.

Chen Anxin's expression was unpleasant, and she glared at Fang Siwei.

Reporter Fang, you really dare to ask that question!

With one move, they exposed, kicked, and revealed the government's dirty intentions!

"Faced with questions from ATV reporters, Secretary Chan On-sum appeared somewhat guilty and unable to answer, eventually changing the subject..."

In addition, Ma Zhichao said to Tian Yangsheng, "Since it's a public prosecution, go and find out the names of the opposing lawyer, the judge, and the jury..."

She simply ended the press conference abruptly.

At this time,

Ma Zhichao has already learned about the prosecution by the Provincial Administration Commission.

ATV reporter Fang Siwei raised his hand, his voice filled with anger.

I'm not answering!

ATV, on the other hand, was much less polite, since Ma Zhichao was the boss and the new Grand Marshal and Provincial Treasurer were enemies.

Ma Zhichao vs. Robinson...

Although property management fees are charged, the collection process is clean, fair, and transparent, with clearly marked prices, and no deception of the young or old. It's a million times better than those community organizations.

They even played clips of Ma Zhichao's news interview from last year, which stirred up memories for the citizens, reminding them of Ma Sir's legendary experiences and the chaotic society of last year.

this moment,

Click, click, click... The camera shutter kept clicking.

Tian Yangsheng said coldly, his voice filled with murderous intent: "Boss, this Chen Anxin is completely different from us. Should we have someone take care of her?"

Fake squid!

Is this never going to end?

Chen Anxin: "…………"

but,

Everyone looked at Fang Siwei.

They talked on and on for several tens of minutes.

Another important function is that, through its more than 20 employees and its convenient reach to every household in Hong Kong, it can indirectly influence two to three million people. What does this represent? It represents the demographic dividend!

……

"Let's wait and see!"

The secretary comforted him, "Grand Commander, what does it matter how many citizens support Ma Zhichao? The real decision-makers are the Department of Justice, the courts, the Legislative Council... all of them are our people."

There are always discordant voices!

Fang Siwei organized his thoughts and asked loudly, "Secretary Chan, as we all know, a year ago, triads on Hong Kong Island were rampant, with their membership expanding from over 85 in 20 to over 50 last year. Many citizens felt that the government intentionally allowed these triads to grow, disrupting social order and the economy. Then, after the emergence of the Umbrella Corporation, the number of triads in Hong Kong decreased sharply, and social order improved significantly. Now, a year later, the Chief Secretary for Administration is going to sue the Umbrella Corporation. Is this retaliation against the Umbrella Corporation? Is it an attempt to restore chaos and order to Hong Kong Island?"

With photographers constantly shoving their lenses into his face, he knew that if he didn't answer, he would be extremely embarrassed on the midday news and in tomorrow's newspapers.

“At the time, Inspector Ma also made a speech: ‘Justice is not justice. I established the Umbrella Corporation to protect the vulnerable citizens…’ And now, the Umbrella Corporation has done a great job of fulfilling this corporate vision.”

"Ming Pao reporters distinguished right from wrong and vehemently denounced Secretary Chan's sinister intentions..."

Ma Zhichao raised his head, took a deep breath, and resolutely made a decision to play it safe for the time being and not take any drastic measures.

"A bunch of fools, idiots!"

All the reporters could smell the gunpowder.

Who doesn't know that Zeng Xiangrong was promoted by the new Grand Marshal to deal with Ma Zhichao?

Chen Anxin didn't want to talk about it anymore. She looked at all the reporters present. The newspaper reporters she had arranged to interview had already finished their interviews, and she couldn't do it a second time.

……

"After the Umbrella Corporation came to our area, there were fewer thugs in the gang, and they became more efficient. We no longer had to worry about being extorted or robbed, and running a business became much more comfortable..."

This afternoon, ATV News achieved a viewership rating of 87%!

Finally: "For the sake of Hong Kong Island's economy and for the stability of public order, the Chief Secretary has decided to prosecute the Umbrella Corporation for its monopolistic practices!"

"The Chief Secretary for Administration held a press conference today, at which Chief Secretary Chan On-sum announced..."

Upon hearing this, Robinson's lips curled into a smile.

"Faced with a barrage of questions from numerous reporters, Director Chen Anxin appeared extremely guilty and ultimately left the scene in a disheveled state, bringing the press conference to a hasty end..."

Tian Yangsheng: "Yes!"

"No way!" Ma Zhichao shook his head immediately.

"I don't know why Director Chen is afraid to answer my questions during the interview? Is Director Chen afraid?"

A tea restaurant,

Anti-monopoly is indeed a tricky issue.

"That's right!"

"They're all mine!"

"Ma Zhichao, what makes you think you can win?!"

Chapter 314 Antitrust Trial Begins! The Entire Hong Kong is Under Ma's Control

Chief Secretary for Administration Chan On-sum is actively pushing forward the "anti-monopoly case involving companies protected by government protection."

Although Ma Zhichao did not retaliate, he went with the flow and did the same thing.

He had always coveted the three major monopolistic enterprises on Hong Kong Island:

—Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company (Eastern Telegraph Office).

—Hong Kong Electric (Li Huanggua)

—CLC (Kadoorie family)

He had been eyeing these three companies for a long time, but had never had the chance to make a move.

The telecommunications company, needless to say, is a crucial source of intelligence; controlling it means controlling all of Hong Kong's telephone network. It is currently the only telecommunications service provider on Hong Kong Island. Originally, it was expected that Li Ka-shing's son would have taken notice of it in 94 and used leverage to acquire it.

Hong Kong Electric Company monopolizes the entire Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island areas. Despite being kidnapped multiple times and forced to sell everything he owned, including real estate and land, Li Huanggua couldn't sell it because it was a super-value asset with excellent cash flow.

As for CLP Power, it monopolizes the entire area from West Kowloon and East Kowloon northwards, to the New Territories South and North. Its owners are the Jewish Kadoorie family…yes, the owners of the Peninsula Hotel.

Energy, telecommunications... these are sectors that Ma Zhichao has always wanted to acquire.

At this time, Chen Anxin pushed for anti-monopoly efforts...

Since that's the case, Ma Zhichao didn't hold back and used the anti-monopoly trend to push for the acquisition of these three companies.

then,

Ma Zhichao was straightforward and said what he meant: "That's right, I'm just dissatisfied with her..."

“When interviewed, Inspector Ma made no attempt to hide his dissatisfaction with Secretary Chan, and even used foul language towards him.”

Ma Zhichao, as the owner of the protection company, came in person.

If Ma Zhichao really intends to acquire these three companies, or rather, to take over their profits, then suing the companies that are protecting his monopoly would give the impression that Ma Zhichao is using him.

Jane Austen Law Firm, main conference room, press conference venue.

The press conference hadn't even started yet, so reporters excitedly rushed to interview Ma Zhichao, completely ignoring the main figures of the press conference, the chief prosecutor and Jian Aowei.
