Chapter 1173 Li Fuzhao Asked for Help Overnight!

That night.

Yang Ming, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxun, Yingla, Alina, and Lan Jieying, who came out with Yang Ming for the first time, left Pengcheng by car and returned to Hong Kong.

Among them, Yang Ming, Yingla, Alina, and Lan Jieying took a car back to the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.

Just returned to the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.

The time was past midnight.

Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce had just stopped, and Lin Dezhong had come out to greet him.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li wants to see you."

Mr. Li?

"Which Mr. Li?"

"Mr. Li Fuzhao from the United Stock Exchange."

When Yang Ming heard about Li Fuzhao, he already knew what the problem was.

In the afternoon, Li Fuzhao came. After learning that Sir Yang went to Pengcheng to participate in the domestic state-owned land ownership auction and would not be able to return tonight, Li Fuzhao did not leave.

He knew very well that there was only one person in Hong Kong who could save or help him.

That was Sir Yang.

When Empire Group wanted to acquire Chinese Estates, Li Fuzhao immediately sold all of Chinese Estates' shares to Empire Group. It was at that time that the two sides established a relationship.

When the supercomputer software company was listed in Hong Kong and Hong Kong established the Science and Technology Innovation Board, the relationship between Li Fuzhao and Yang Ming became closer.

Yang Ming came to the garden and saw a man in his fifties wearing a hat.

It was Li Fuzhao, who was known as the godfather of Hong Kong's stock market and is now the chairman of the Hong Kong United Stock Exchange.

"Sir Yang, save me."

Li Fuzhao said hurriedly.

"Mr. Li, let's talk upstairs."

Li Fuzhao and Yang Ming went to the study upstairs.

In the study, Li Fuzhao said: "Not only do people want to drive me down, but they also want me to go to jail."

In fact, this is very related to the global stock market crash caused by the Black Monday in the United States in October.

On October 19, 1987, the global stock market crash of Black Monday occurred. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced an unprecedented four-day suspension of trading, becoming the only stock market in the world to suspend trading during the stock market crash.

Public opinion has questioned the rationale of the Stock Exchange's decision to suspend trading. Legislative Council member Li Zhuming asked Li Fuzhao to resign as chairman of the Stock Exchange at a Legislative Council meeting.

On the evening of October 26, 1987, when the Stock Exchange held a press conference to explain the suspension decision, an Australian reporter questioned the relationship between the suspension and Li Fuzhao's personal interests and whether the decision was legal.

Li Fuzhao was furious. He pointed his index finger at the reporter and hit his face with his fist, demanding an apology. Li Fuzhao said, "This is malicious slander."

"Tell me your name, I want my lawyer to write it down."

"I'll give you a ticket now."

"Sue him, take him to the police station, send him to the police station."

The senior staff of the United Exchange tried to persuade Li Fuzhao to calm down, but to no avail. The reporters then dragged the Australian reporter out of the conference room, and the press conference ended in a clamor.

Historically, Li Fuzhao was criticized by Western media after this incident. At the end of the same year, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was re-elected, and Li Fuzhao only served as vice chairman.

The Hong Kong stock market fell by one-third on the day after the resumption of trading, and this performance added more controversy to Li Fuzhao's order to close the stock market at that time.

In the second year of his tenure as vice chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, ICAC arrived at Li Fuzhao's residence on Shouson Hill Road at 6 a.m. and arrested him on suspicion of accepting bribes when approving listing applications.

The manager of the listing department of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and another person involved in the case were also arrested subsequently. In 1990, Li Fuzhao was sentenced to four years in prison, but was later granted a reduced sentence for good behavior, serving a total of 32 months.

Regarding this arrest, Li Fuzhao never made it clear whether he was corrupt, but only said it was political factors, and said: "There are many things I don't want to tell the public."

On January 2, 1988, the day Li Fuzhao was arrested, the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Benedict Cumberbatch, invoked Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance to exercise his power and officially announced Li Fuzhao's identity.

Now, Li Fuzhao has felt that someone is eyeing the position of chairman of the United Stock Exchange, that is, someone not only wants his position, but also wants to send him to jail.

As for the stock market crash in October that triggered the global stock market crash and also caused the stock market crash in Hong Kong, Li Fuzhao felt that he did so entirely to reduce the losses of Hong Kong investors, and that he suspended the stock market for four days.

In fact, in Yang Ming's view, Li Fuzhao did not need to do such a normal market transaction.

And it was because of that that he was caught by someone.

Yang Ming knew that there must be something complicated behind this.

Historically, it was because of the conflict of interests between Chinese and white people.

And Li Fuzhao represented the interests of those Chinese.

However, in history, Li Fuzhao would be replaced soon, and even had to go to jail.

"Who will take over after you step down?"

"Sir Yang, according to my guess, it should be Li Guowei."

Li Guowei?

Yang Ming certainly knew that he was a member of the Li family in Hong Kong. His grandfather was Li Wenyi and Li Heshen's father Li Liangyi, who were brothers, that is, his father Li Shupei and Li Heshen, the founder of Heshen Property, were cousins.

In addition, Li Guowei was also the executive chairman of Heng Ti Bank.

However, now Huifeng Bank has been acquired by Empire Group, and Huifeng Bank is the major shareholder of Heng Ti Bank, although Huifeng Bank did not interfere with the development of Heng Ti Bank.

In history, Li Guowei replaced Li Fuzhao as the chairman of the United Stock Exchange, which was also a transitional position.

"Li Guowei?"

In addition, the governor of Xiangjiang has changed now.

Historically, Wei Yixin was the governor of Xiangjiang, but now Wei Yixin is just the chief secretary.

It would be too easy for Yang Ming to interfere in this matter.

Moreover, Yang Ming knew that in history, those white people were much more greedy than Li Fuzhao.

Of course, around that time, Yuan Tianfan became the CEO of the United Stock Exchange, but was this related to Li Jiacheng?

Yang Ming felt that it was still related, because at that time, people like Li Jiacheng, Liang Botao, and Yuan Tianfan had already cooperated.

"Mr. Li, if you continue to sit in this position, how many more years do you think you can sit?"

How many more years can it sit?

If it weren't for the global stock market crash caused by the stock market crisis in country M, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was also so greatly affected, Li Fuzhao felt that he should be able to continue doing it.

Originally, his biggest competitor was Xiangjiang financial tycoon Hu Hanfei, but Hu Hanfei died two years ago.

"Sir Young, I hope to do one more term."

Of course, Li Fuzhao felt that he had made so many contributions to the Chinese people in Hong Kong and even the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Even if he had no credit, he still had hard work. Now, since some people not only want his position, but also want to send him to a prison cell, this is too much. Not human anymore.

Yang Ming nodded.

Yang Ming already knew about Li Fuzhao.

"Mr. Li, I already understand your matter. You go back and rest first. No matter what, you will be fine."
