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

Young Master Li stared at his female secretary for a few seconds with bloodshot eyes, and finally said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing."

He silently picked up the tape recorder.

"Could you get me some screwdrivers and tools?"

Looking around, he felt lost. The Li family was large and powerful, yet he couldn't find a single person he dared to trust.

At this moment, Young Master Li was extremely flustered. He dared not call Canada's father at all, because he knew that his phone was probably being tapped by the Grand Commander's Mansion and was not safe at all.

Only at this moment did he realize just how formidable Ma Zhichao was in his ability to contend with the Grand Commander's Office and the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Whether it's intelligence capabilities or loyal subordinates, the Li family can hardly match them.

……

2 days later,

noon,

Hong Kong Electric Company and its umbrella company held a joint press conference to announce news that shocked the entire city.

Ma Zhichao personally used US$18 billion and borrowed US$12 billion from banks using 40% of his shares in Hong Kong Electric as collateral to acquire 100% of Hong Kong Electric's shares!

Officially became the new owner of HK Electric!

As soon as the news came out,

The more than 600 million citizens of Hong Kong were shocked and stunned!

This acquisition immediately brought Ma Zhichao's financial situation back into the spotlight for Hong Kong citizens.

Let's take stock of Ma Zhichao's companies.

The company that provides protection for its employees; three New Era Supermarkets (one of which is about to open); film and television companies; ATV; garment factories; beverage factories; electronics factories...

Now, Hong Kong Electric Company is being added...

How much are your assets?

Many economists have made assessments and concluded that the initial investment should be at least HK$400-500 billion.

HK$400-500 billion?

Mr. Ma Zhichao has only been rising to prominence for a little over a year, right?

The rate at which these assets are expanding is terrifying!!

Many Hong Kong Island residents also felt that Ma Chi-chiu's actions were an insult to the Grand Marshal.

……

……

"Bang!"

Grand General's Office

Upon seeing the news, Grand General Robinson was so enraged that he smashed a cup on the spot.

"You bastard, Ma Zhichao!"

The original antitrust action was to break up the umbrella companies!

As a result, things have gotten even worse. The Umbrella Corporation hasn't been split up yet, but Hong Kong Electric has been acquired by Ma Chi-chiu.

Robinson had a feeling that he was being mocked and fooled.

"Somebody come!"

"Grand Commander!" Secretary Mina rushed over.

Robinson was furious: "Immediately instruct the Chief Secretary to expedite the dismantling of the Umbrella Corporation and Hong Kong Electric!"

Secretary Mina nodded: "Yes, Grand Commander!"

……

Soon, in the afternoon, the Provincial Administration Office began to take action.

They led a large group of people into Hong Kong Electric Company and its affiliated companies to carry out anti-monopoly actions.

However, Ma Zhichao was very fast.

As if to slap them in the face, the court approved the prosecution application that very afternoon.

The law firm of Jane Austen and the prosecutor filed an antitrust lawsuit against Kadoorie's CLP Power Company.

Then at 18:00,

ATV News then announced this news to the entire city of Hong Kong.

"Currently, a large number of Chief Secretary staff have entered the Umbrella Corporation and Hong Kong Electric, urging the acceleration of the dismantling of Hong Kong Electric and the Umbrella Corporation..."

“But Mr. Ma Zhichao believes that CLP Power is also involved in monopolistic practices. If the protective umbrella companies and HK Electric are to be broken up, CLP Power should also be broken up!”

"The court has formally accepted this public prosecution case, and the trial will be held tomorrow!"

"Below are some reports collected by ATV reporters regarding the monopolistic practices of CLP Power..."

All Hong Kong citizens: *Pfft!*

They all criticized it.

We've seen that familiar scene again!

Using the Grand Commander's power to slap the Grand Commander in the face?!

He's the Grand Commander, after all. How can you do this? Don't you care about the Grand Commander's reputation?

……

at the same time,

Grand Governor's Mansion, Kadoorie Villa...

Almost simultaneously, the sound of something being smashed was heard.

Chapter 322 Ma Sir, You've Slapped the Grand Commander's Face Sore!

"That Ma Zhichao!"

"They don't even respect me!"

Grand Admiral Robinson was furious; his blue eyes seemed to turn red with rage at that moment!

He understood that Ma Zhichao's actions were ostensibly aimed at the Kadoorie family, but in reality, he was killing two birds with one stone: on the one hand, he was plotting against CLP Power, and on the other hand, he was slapping Robinson, the newly appointed Grand Marshal, in the face.

Of course, what angered him even more was that the judicial system had been infiltrated by Ma Zhichao!

Both times, the chief prosecutor helped Ma Zhichao, and the prosecution was approved!

There were also two previous instances of betrayal by the "protective umbrella," Hong Kong Electric, and the Supreme Court judge!

"Worms!"

"A black sheep!"

Robinson angrily made a phone call to the Secretary for Justice, Ma Fu-shan.

"Investigate thoroughly immediately!"

"Please rest assured, Grand Commander, I am already investigating, and I will absolutely not allow the procuratorate or the court system to help Ma Zhichao again!" Ma Fushan assured him.

The following day, several high-ranking officials from the procuratorate and the court were dismissed.

Ma Fushan's swift and decisive actions suggest that the judicial system should now be largely sound.

The team is now pure!

We are all family!

(Ma Zhichao: Sorry, but 80% of the Legislative Council members are now my people!)

……

At this time,

The antitrust lawsuit against China Power Company has officially begun in court.

Reporters from all over Hong Kong flocked to the court hearing.

At the entrance of the courthouse,

A stretch Lincoln pulled up, and after it stopped, seven or eight bodyguards got out of the car before it was Henry, the Kadoorie family's professional manager and executive director of CLP Power.

Henry, at 50, is considered to be in his prime, with plenty of experience, and is at the peak of his career as a professional manager.

He stepped out of the car, head held high and chest out.

"Mr. Henry, why haven't the Kadoorie family members come down?"

"Excuse me, are you afraid of being kidnapped by ruthless criminals?"

Faced with the reporters' gloating interviews, Henry walked into the courthouse with a dark expression.

quickly,

The court held a hearing.

Chien Ao-wei spoke passionately: "On behalf of the plaintiff, I hereby file a motion with CLP Power..."

This time, in order to deal with CLP Power, Ma Zhichao had ample evidence collected.

This includes: 13 violations of the regulatory plan agreement since 1980, including raising electricity prices; and exploiting loopholes by increasing fixed assets and permitted profits to shift operating costs and fuel price fluctuations, which should have been borne by the company itself, onto users…

A total of more than a dozen monopolistic practices...

And it's based on sound reasoning and evidence!

Over the next few days, the case continued to move forward, with lawyer Jane Austen presenting evidence of monopoly one by one.

On the surface, the judges and juries seemed to be supporting CLP Power and Kadoorie. CLP Power, Kadoorie Group, and the defendant's lawyers all felt confident of victory and that they had the upper hand.

The Secretary for Justice, Ma Fu-sin, who was behind the scenes giving instructions and controlling everything, was also extremely satisfied with this.

On the fifth day, when the case concluded, the court delivered its final verdict:
