Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 860 "858" The Jockey Club is in a panic! Guan Zu: I'll set a law for you!
At the entrance of Kai Tak Airport.

The black sedan came to a smooth stop at the entrance. Benjamin opened the car door, his leather shoes clicking on the ground, followed by two men in suits.

The group of people scanned their surroundings warily.

"Let's go, don't waste time."

Benjamin strode into the airport, followed closely by his bodyguards.

Then go through security.

Because of security checks, I didn't bring any knives or guns.

We entered the waiting area.

Most flights to Europe go to the UK, and the nearest flight is in half an hour.

He bought tickets for several flights: one to the UK, one to Southeast Asia, and one to the US.

Used to confuse the public.

"Half an hour..."

Benjamin found a corner to sit down, tapping his knees with his fingers to count the time, feeling safe.

What he didn't know was that the control tower had already received a call from the Five Star Group, requesting a delay in the departure time of the flight Benjamin had booked. His flight schedule was completely under their control.

quickly,

Boarding a UK flight.

Benjamin and several of his men boarded the plane.

Ten more minutes passed.

The plane dragged its feet and didn't move.

The passengers were getting impatient and started complaining.

"Why isn't it taking off yet?! I'm in a hurry to get to a meeting in London!"

"Yeah, it's too slow."

Benjamin and the others exchanged glances and immediately realized something was wrong.

"not good!"

what is this?
It's like catching a turtle in a jar!
Just as Benjamin was about to leave the cabin,
A group of police officers in uniform filed in.

Stephen Chow, who was at the very front, scanned the cabin with his eyes before finally fixing them on Benjamin.

Benjamin's heart skipped a beat.

Stephen Chow walked up to him in a few steps, pulled out a shiny pair of handcuffs, and shook them with a "click," his tone full of mockery:

"Benjamin, huh? You're quite the runner, aren't you? You even bought three plane tickets to mislead people, thinking you're so smart?"

"Don't you know this is Hong Kong Island?!"

"Even if you fly out, the plane will turn back and deliver the gift!"

That's how local gangs do things!
Benjamin tried to remain calm: "Officer, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm just a regular passenger..."

"Still quibbling?"

Stephen Chow sneered: "You think you can kidnap my family? Do you think I'd mistake you for someone else? I, Stephen Chow, have no family, no elders, no children! You think you can kidnap me? Kidnap air?"

It makes me so angry!
I'm an orphan, so what if I can't find a girlfriend?
I ate your rice!

Click~~~
Handcuff them!

……

……

at this time,

Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is also holding a major meeting—announcing the results of the election for the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

At the meeting, 10 board members were present, as well as the chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

They sat in rows.

They were all dressed in sharp suits, each with a different expression.

At the head of the conference table sat the chairman of the Hong Kong Jockey Club's board of directors, a British man.

A stack of documents lay before him, with a sheet of paper recording the election results on top.

"Distinguished board members!"

The foreigner stood up and said in English with a London accent, "After a rigorous voting process and meticulous statistical work, I am now honored to announce the election results for the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong Jockey Club."

Xia Zhixian's face flushed red in the crowd.

finally come!

Starting today, I am the chairman of the Jockey Club!
According to statistics, the new chairman of the Hong Kong Jockey Club's board of directors is ————

The foreign host paused for a moment.
Xia Zhixian prepared to stand up.

"Ms. Gao Xuliguo!"

Xia Zhixian's expression changed.

Gao Xuliguo, who was standing next to him, stood up and said, "Thank you everyone for your support!"

Splash splash~~~~~~
The audience burst into applause.

At this moment, Xia Zhixian's face turned dark.

After the meeting, Xia Zhixian's face turned ashen. He chased after the foreign host and arrived at the host's office.

"What's going on? I paid money! Why was Gao Xuliguo elected? This position should have been mine!"

Xia Zhixian angrily questioned.

The foreign host gave Xia Zhixian a cold look.

"Do you know that because of your stupidity, our horse racing club almost got into serious trouble!"

"Why was Ms. Gao Xuliguo elected? I think you should talk to the police about that."

The foreign host was very dissatisfied with Xia Zhixian.

If he hadn't learned of the situation from the ICAC beforehand, he would have announced that Xia Zhixian was the next chairman.

Once it's announced

That would ruin the reputation of the Jockey Club!
The ICAC has already obtained a large amount of evidence of corruption by Xia Zhixian. Once the news of his election as chairman is released, he will be taken away by the ICAC for investigation. What will the public think?
Xia Zhixian was stunned: "What do you mean?"

at this time,

There was a sudden knock on the office door, which was then pushed open.

Tap tap tap~~~~~
Lu Zhilian strode in with a group of Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) staff, all dressed in sharp suits with piercing eyes.

"Mr. Host..."

“I am Luk Chi-lim, Chief Investigator of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

Lu Zhilian showed the identification in his hand.
Then he looked at Xia Zhixian and said, "Xia Zhixian, you are suspected of multiple crimes, including embezzlement, accepting bribes, and manipulating the internal affairs of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Please come with us to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) to assist in the investigation."

Xia Zhixian froze instantly upon hearing this.

……

……

10 minutes later,
Lu Zhilian and others escorted Xia Zhixian out of the Jockey Club building.

Got in the car,
Heading towards the ICAC building.

"Ring ring ring~~~~"

Kwan Cho called: "I have some news for you... There's a mole in your ICAC. There have been at least two leaks. Investigate thoroughly." Luk Chi-lim's eyes sharpened: "Don't worry, Mr. Kwan."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhilian began to wonder who might have leaked the information.

Within one's own team?

Or higher-ups?

……

Not long after Lu Zhilian and his group left the Jockey Club,
The newly appointed chairman of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Koh Lai-kwok, drove to the new government office building to make an urgent visit to the Chief Executive.

Xia Zhixian was arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).

This is a major earthquake for the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

She has to handle this well!

If this isn't handled well, she probably won't even be able to hold onto her position.

A black Mercedes came to a steady stop in front of the new government office building.

Gao Xuli took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and walked into the building.

I waited for about an hour and a half.

The Chief Executive finally has some free time.

Guided by staff, she quickly arrived at the Chief Executive's office.

"Sir, it's an honor to visit you."

Gao Xuli bowed slightly, with a polite and humble smile on her face.

The Chief Executive rose to greet her: "Ms. Gao, congratulations on becoming the new Chairperson of the Hong Kong Jockey Club!"

The two sat down.

Gao Xuliguo said earnestly, "Sir, the reason I've come here is to discuss the Hong Kong Jockey Club with you. Its contributions to Hong Kong society have always been evident to all..."

Then he went on to talk about the contributions of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

10 minutes later,
The Chief Executive smiled and acknowledged, "The Hong Kong Jockey Club's contributions to the development of Hong Kong Island are indeed evident, and I fully acknowledge them."

Gao Xuliguo looked worried: "Sir, there have been some negative incidents within the Jockey Club recently. You must have heard about Xia Zhixian's problem. Although it is only the inappropriate behavior of a few high-ranking officials, if it is not handled properly and is overexposed, the damage to the Jockey Club's reputation will be huge."

"The Hong Kong Jockey Club has always held a special place in the hearts of the people of Hong Kong Island. Once its reputation is damaged, the public's trust in us will decrease, and the betting volume may drop sharply, which will affect the gaming tax revenue and impact the government's fiscal revenue."

Subtext: Sir, you don't want tax revenue to decrease either, do you?

"Furthermore, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is quite influential in the international horse racing field and is a distinctive symbol of Hong Kong Island. Too much negative news will create a negative image of Hong Kong Island internationally, which is not conducive to Hong Kong Island's international exchanges and cooperation, especially in areas such as hosting sports events and promoting culture."

Gao Xuliguo further analyzed.

To put it mildly, she was presenting facts and reasoning.

To put it bluntly, she was coercing him.

However, what she said was true.

The professionalism of the Hong Kong Jockey Club ranks among the top ten in the world, and it is also a calling card that attracts international tourists.

After a moment's thought, the Chief Executive said, "Ms. Ko, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) acts in accordance with the law and has zero tolerance for illegal and corrupt practices. This is a necessary measure to uphold the rule of law in Hong Kong."

Gao Xuliguo quickly replied, "Sir, we fully agree with and support the work of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). Our Jockey Club will also conduct internal reforms, improve our oversight mechanisms, and strengthen anti-corruption education for our employees."

"In addition, we earnestly request the government to provide the Hong Kong Jockey Club with certain support in areas such as public opinion guidance, so as to help us smoothly overcome this crisis."

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Furthermore, regarding the government's previous fiscal budget policy, we at the Malaysian Federation will resolutely follow the government's lead!"

concession!

The Hong Kong Jockey Club finally gave in!

Last time, the Hong Kong Jockey Club expressed strong dissatisfaction with this policy and voiced its objections.

After this incident, the Hong Kong Jockey Club no longer dares to be defiant.

He was beaten black and blue.

Admit defeat quickly.

However, she completely overlooked one thing—

Guan Zu has left the stage!
……

……

At 19:00 PM that evening, ATV News made no attempt to cover it up and directly broke the news that Xia Zhixian had been arrested.

"Good evening, viewers! This is ATV News..."

"Just today, Xia Zhixian, a director of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Board of Directors, was arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on suspicion of violating the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance..."

"It is reported that Xia Zhixian, for his own selfish gain, colluded with Benjamin, the mastermind behind European football matches, to manipulate the betting odds..."

"Rumor has it that Xia Zhixian was the strongest contender for the Jockey Club chairmanship, but he made such a big mistake!"

"Police arrest Benjamin, the mastermind behind the European football tournament..."

"The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has arrested Xia Zhixian..."

"The Hong Kong Jockey Club is known for its charity work, yet it has made such a mistake!"

"Here, we can't help but ask..."

The news reports caused an uproar among Hong Kong residents!

"My God, Xia Zhixian actually did such a thing!"

"How could the Hong Kong Jockey Club have such shady dealings?! How can I support them anymore?!"

"This Xia Zhixian, he always seemed like a respectable person, I never expected him to be a corrupt official!"

"The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) did a great job this time; these kinds of people should be dealt with severely!"

"The police force is awesome!"

Yes, yes, yes, Stephen Chow gives this a thumbs up!
……

A new day,
It happened to be during the Legislative Council's weekly meeting.

At the meeting, Kwan Cho, the Legislative Council Chairman, proposed a new plan: "A Proposal on Establishing a Third-Party Financial Audit Committee of the Hong Kong Jockey Club to Strengthen Financial Oversight and Transparency."

"Fellow members of parliament,"

Guan Zu surveyed the entire audience, his tone serious.

"The case of Xia Zhixian of the Hong Kong Jockey Club has not only damaged the reputation of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, but also caused the public to lose trust in its financial operations."

"The Hong Kong Jockey Club is an important symbol of Hong Kong Island, and we absolutely cannot let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch!"

"At the same time, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is an important part of supporting charitable causes in Hong Kong!"

"The Hong Kong Jockey Club is linked to social welfare. This incident is due to a major loophole in the club's internal oversight and a lack of transparency!"

"Therefore, I proposed a plan—'Proposal on Establishing a Third-Party Audit Committee of the Hong Kong Jockey Club to Strengthen Financial Supervision and Transparency'."

“Establish a third-party audit committee!”

"This committee must be completely independent of the Hong Kong Jockey Club to ensure professionalism, neutrality, and freedom from any interference."

"The committee's core responsibility is to investigate the Jockey Club's finances: regularly auditing reports and cash flows, having the right to access all financial information, and the Jockey Club must cooperate..."

"The purpose of establishing this committee is to close regulatory loopholes, bring the Jockey Club's funds into the open, and regain public trust..."

The presence of this third-party committee will significantly weaken the influence of the Hong Kong Jockey Club's senior management.

To weaken the power-seeking behavior of the top management of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

This is all for the healthy growth of the Jockey Club!
Brother Zu is a man of integrity!
