A silver-grey Bentley slowly drove into the courtyard of the Oriental Press Building at 273 Tai Po Industrial Estate in Hong Kong, and the security guard only glanced at the license plate from a distance and let it go.

It was the car of Ma Tingqiang, one of the directors of the group, and the entire Oriental Press Group knew that he liked the Bentley car the most. In addition to the silver-gray Bentley I drove today, there is also a black Bentley of the same model and a sports car at home. Because his legs and feet are not very convenient, he has to rely on cars to get around.

The car quickly stopped downstairs in the newspaper building, and then the driver and bodyguard got out of the car, quickly opened the back door, and supported a man who looked to be in his thirties and was not very tall, and he was still helping a walker on his arms.

Ma Tingqiang got out of the car, relied on the walker to stand firmly, and waved his hand to the bodyguard who helped him, "Park the car in the underground garage, Abin, you wait for me over there!" ”

"Yes, boss!"

The bodyguard knew his temperament, and after listening to his instructions, he agreed immediately, and immediately drove the car to the underground garage. Seeing that the car started, Ma Tingqiang struggled to rely on the walker and walked into the building.

"Ma Dong is a good ......"

"Ma Dong ......"

Along the way, I met many staff members of the Oriental Press Group, and many of them recognized him, an important director in charge of the external relations of the Oriental Press Group, and greeted him one after another, and Ma Tingqiang also nodded in response.

Although it was very difficult to walk, no one offered to come and help him. And he himself obviously didn't mean it, the road from the entrance of the building to the elevator was not long, but because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, when he walked, he could already see beads of sweat on his forehead.

opened a special elevator, Ma Tingqiang walked in and pressed the 9th floor directly, and then after a period of weightlessness, the elevator went up to the 9th floor.

Xu felt that there were no outsiders here, so he took off his strength in front of people, leaned against the elevator wall, and panted slightly.

Since that car accident six years ago, he has lost forever the ability to run freely on the earth like an ordinary person. A sudden car accident left his entire right leg completely crippled, and he could only walk with a walker and crutches. Although the report after the police investigation showed that the car accident was completely accidental, Ma Tingqiang and the Ma family knew that it was not an accident, but a deliberate revenge. There is no it, only because his father's name is Ma Xiru.

When it comes to the name Ma Xiru, Hong Kong people are no stranger. He and his brother Ma Xizhen single-handedly founded the largest newspaper group in Hong Kong, Oriental Press Group, but his status as a newspaper tycoon is not the reason why Hong Kong people remember him. The reason why he can make six million Hong Kong people remember his name is entirely because he has another identity, that is, the famous drug trafficking tycoon in Hong Kong in the past, and few Hong Kong people who have experienced the 50s and 60s do not know this famous 'white and pink horse' in the past.

In 1974, Wu was arrested by the Narcotics Bureau of the police and sentenced to 30 years in prison, which became the longest sentence in Hong Kong's judicial history at that time. In 1977, Ma Xiru was charged with smuggling 700 tons of opium into the country between 1968 and 1974, and he absconded to Taiwan before the police executed the arrest warrant. In July 1978, Ma Xizhen was also arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking and bribery, and more than a dozen Hong Kong justices of the peace and celebrities guaranteed his release from prison.

"Third child, why did you come to the company today?"

The elevator stopped on the eighth floor, and a man about his age walked in.

When Ma Tingqiang saw the arrival, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Second brother, I'm here to find the eldest brother." Is he in the company? ”

The man who just entered the elevator was called Ma Chengfa, although Ma Tingqiang called him a second brother, but the two were not brothers, but cousins.

Ma Chengfa's father is his uncle Ma Xizhen, different from Ma Xiru's family, who only has one son, Ma Xizhen has three sons, of which the eldest is called Ma Chengkun, the second is called Ma Chengfa, and the youngest is called Ma Chengcai. Among his three cousins, Ma Chengkun and Ma Chengfa are three and two years older than him respectively, and only Ma Chengcai is four years younger than him. Although the relationship between the four cousins is not as close as a family, because the parents of the two families fled to Taiwan, they also help each other to stay together.

The Oriental Press Group was established by the Ma brothers in the past year to launder the black money they earned from drug trafficking, and since the two brothers were forced to flee to Taiwan, as the most important foundation for them to stay in Hong Kong, so the four Ma brothers are all on temporary duty in the group. Among them, the chairman of the board of directors is naturally Ma Chengkun, the president is an externally invited professional manager, and Ma Chengfa, Ma Tingqiang, and Ma Chengcai respectively control the group's finance, outreach and personnel appointments as directors, and perform their own duties.

When Ma Chengfa heard that he was looking for the eldest brother, he suddenly became interested: "You don't know the temperament of the eldest brother, you should have come a long time ago." It just so happens that I have something to look for him, so let's go over together! ”

Ma Tingqiang nodded in response, the elevator quickly reached the ninth floor, and the two of them walked out of the elevator and arrived outside Ma Chengkun's office without walking a few steps.

There was a knock on the door, and the house answered: "Come in!" ”

The two pushed the door in, and sure enough, they saw a man in his forties standing in the corner of the office, feeding the feng shui fish placed there, it was Ma Chengkun, the eldest of the second generation of the Ma family.

"Big Brother ......"

"Big Brother ......"

Because there are no outsiders, the three of them don't deliberately call each other by their positions like they are outside. Ma Chengkun saw the two of them coming together, and pointed to the sofa with a smile, "You guys do it first, I'll be good right away!" ”

Hong Kong people are very superstitious about feng shui, and Ma Chengkun is also good at this. A few years ago, he met a feng shui master in Southeast Asia, and set up a feng shui bureau for him in his office before the listing of Oriental Press Group, the most important of which was the feng shui fish sitting in the corner, and also specially explained that he must be fed on time every day at which auspicious times to ensure that he is not broken by evil spirits.

Not to mention, since its listing, although the shares of Oriental Press have not skyrocketed day by day, they have not encountered several major upward trends. However, it has always maintained a steady rise in recent years, from a market value of less than 200 million at the beginning of its listing in 87 to almost 900 million now.

Because of this, it strengthened Ma Chengkun's trust in the feng shui master, and he rushed to the company on time every day to feed and change the water for his feng shui fish, even if he was on a business trip, he had to make arrangements in advance, which is why Ma Chengfa affirmed him in the office.

"Ah Qiang, haven't you taken leave to go to Taipei to see your uncle and them in the past two days, why did you come to the company today?"

Using a well-made silver spoon to scoop out a spoonful of fish food from a gold silk pouch, Ma Chengkun asked while staring intently at the fish tank.

Ma Chengfa on the side also pricked up his ears when he heard this, because the Ma brothers have been wanted by the Hong Kong government since the 70s, so they have not dared to return to Hong Kong, so they can only buy property in Taipei and live in it permanently. If the ordinary Ma family juniors miss the elderly, they can only fly to Taipei to visit relatives. Ma Tingqiang asked for leave a few days ago and said that he was going to Taipei, but today he suddenly came to the company, and he couldn't help but be curious.

Seeing the small movements of the second brother on the side, Ma Tingqiang had no intention of concealing it, and replied neatly: "Originally, I was going to leave at noon today, but someone blocked the door in the morning to look for me, and as a result, I was retained." ”

"Who?" His words made the Ma brothers ask in unison.

"Chen Qiang, President of Media Asia Group!" Ma Tingqiang took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"Media Asia Group? I do know that their company's stock is very hot this year, but we don't seem to have much to do with them, right? Ma Chengfa is in charge of the company's finances and is not very familiar with the Media Asia Group. However, he knew that it was his third brother Ma Tingqiang who was in charge of the external affairs of the Oriental Press Group, so he asked him.

Ma Chengkun quickly finished the feeding work, put away the silver spoon and the gold silk pouch containing fish food, and also walked to sit down next to the two, looked at Ma Tingqiang and said: "The second brother is right, our Oriental Newspaper has nothing to do with them in Asia, what is the matter with their president looking for you?" ”

Ma Tingqiang took off the walker tied to his hand, waved his hand and said, "It's not looking for me, just asking me to bring you a message to your eldest brother and invite you to the party at the Mandarin Hotel in three days!" ”

"Party?" Ma Chengkun frowned, and looked at his younger brother Ma Chengfa with a little confused, "Is their boss Lin Xiaozhi also going?" What is this gentleman thinking? Doesn't he know the position of our Oriental newspaper industry? ”

Few people know that the reason why the Oriental Press Group is close to the Taiwan authorities is actually the result of the cooperation reached between the two brothers Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen and the third generation of Jiang Sandai in Taiwan who was forced to leave his post because of the Jiangnan case.

In the past, Ma Xizhen fled to Taiwan without a passport, and was arrested and sentenced to prison by the local police as soon as he arrived in Taiwan, and then the third generation of Jiang personally came forward to meet with the Ma brothers, promising that as long as the two cooperated with him, they would ensure that all the property obtained by the Ma brothers from drug trafficking was legal in Taiwan, and promised not to extradite them in Hong Kong, and even tolerate their subordinates and relatives to come to Taiwan to join them.

The Ma brothers finally agreed to cooperate with Jiang Sandai, but Ma Xizhen, who was once prosecuted and sentenced, was subsequently only sentenced to one year in prison, and then commuted his sentence for less than half a year. Relying on the wealth earned from drug trafficking in the past, the Ma brothers purchased a large number of properties in Taiwan, Britain and even Hong Kong, although on the surface the Ma family's assets are less than one billion, and the real assets are probably no less than four or five billion. In exchange, over the years, the Oriental Press Group under the name of the Ma brothers has always been close to Taiwan, and has always been regarded as Taiwan's throat newspaper by Taiwan's leftist newspapers.

At the beginning of the year, Lin Xiaozhi led the Hong Kong film industry to visit the mainland very widely, coupled with several waves of his polemics with pro-Taiwan media, he himself had long been classified as a pro-communist faction, so when he heard that he invited him, Ma Chengkun was very unimpressed.

"I should go, Chen Qiang told me that their boss invited a lot of people from the entertainment industry and the media."

Ma Tingqiang hesitated for a while, but still said: "Big brother, I think his invitation to you to the party may be related to his recent scandal." Our "Oriental Daily" has recently reported a lot of reports about his scandal, I am afraid that there will be no good feast. Therefore, I only said that I didn't know if you had arranged the invitation from the Media Asia side, and I didn't help you come down! ”

He obviously has some understanding of Lin Xiaozhi's recent scandal, so he doesn't approve of Ma Chengkun's past.

didn't want him to say this, Ma Chengkun became interested instead, "Oh? I'm interested in what you say, you tell me the specific time and place, I want to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd! ”
