Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 97 The End of the Ma Family

After the Hong Kong media learned that Fang Hexuan was building a factory in Shenzhen to manufacture cars,
Several newspapers openly denounced him, saying that he was in collusion with the bandits and that he was aiding and abetting the evil.

For example, the Hong Kong Times, Wan Ren Daily, Zhongzheng Daily, and the Oriental Daily which only cares about food and not about punishment.

It’s not surprising that the first three are the mouthpiece newspapers of the Taiwan Beggars’ Gang in Hong Kong.

However, Oriental Daily News is a purely private newspaper, although its founder has close ties with Taiwan.
But offending Fang Hexuan again and again is like eating arsenic.

The current operator of Oriental Daily News is Ma Tingqiang, the second generation of the Ma family.

Fang Hexuan also knew their historical background.

But that doesn't mean he can continue to tolerate the Ma family.

A drug trafficking family, if they don't listen, is the dregs of Chinese society.
Helping them physically disappear from the earth would be considered a mercy.

July 7, Monday, 7 a.m., Oriental Newspaper Office.

Ma Tingqiang was still in his office looking at the latest financial information.
He was interrupted from working by his subordinate who pushed open the door from outside.

"Boss Ma, there are a large number of police officers downstairs."

"What happened?"

"I don't know. The leading police officer just said that he received a report and asked us to tell him more."

"What? Don't hesitate."

"They said our newspaper was hiding a large amount of drugs."

"fart!"

Ma Tingqiang hurriedly picked up the crutches on both sides and wanted to go down to see what was going on.

It’s no wonder that he was nervous; it’s simply because the Ma family’s background was so shady.

This is 100% a false accusation. Isn't it good for Ma Tingqiang to be a newspaper boss now? Why would he bother with that?

But it was useless for him to think so. The key was to make the outside world believe that the Ma family was innocent.

This is very difficult.

As the saying goes, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it.

People who run newspapers have a deeper understanding of this common sense.

But Ma Tingqiang obviously underestimated the determination and strength of the rumor mongers.

When he rushed downstairs, the police had already found 50 pounds of Heloyin from the newspaper's data storage room.

This amount of gambling items alone is worth more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

Ma Tingqiang was already standing there in shock, his mind in a mess.

But the police didn't care whether he was scared or in a daze.

Without hesitation, the handcuffs of justice were put on the helmsman of Oriental Daily News.

As soon as he was escorted out of the newspaper office, he was photographed by reporters from other newspapers and TV stations who were waiting there.

Ma Tingqiang was sweating profusely on his forehead, he was even more frightened than when he was handcuffed just now.

His reputation was completely ruined in a short period of time.

On that day, the news that Ma Tingqiang was suspected of hiding drugs in the Oriental News Agency spread throughout the streets and alleys of Hong Kong.

The next day, more news that was unfavorable to the Ma family and Oriental Daily News was spread by various newspapers of all sizes.

For example, there is a newspaper that specifically restores the secret relationship between the Ma family and the Golden Triangle.

Others said that Oriental Daily often fabricated fake news, causing many people to lose their homes and families.

Some even said that Ma Tingqiang had taken a fancy to the daughter of a factory owner and threatened to use newspapers to discredit the factory's products.

Anyway, Ma Tingqiang and Oriental Daily News were completely discredited.

Of course, some of these were arranged by those with better eyes, but there were also many who were taken advantage of by colleagues.

The founder of Oriental Daily is not a good person, his character is even lower than that of a businessman.

Therefore, their bottom line and principles for running a newspaper are simply outrageous.

The title and content of this newspaper are completely based on vulgarity and the means of arousing readers' desires.

Although this lowered the tone of the newspaper industry, it did increase sales. Many newspapers wanted to learn from it, but they could not compete with its scale and financial resources.

Those who don't want to learn, such as Ming Pao, also extremely hate this competitor.

After staying in the police station for 24 hours, Ma Tingqiang was released on bail through payment by his lawyer.

But bad news also came one after another.

Several senior editors and some reporters of the newspaper submitted their resignation letters one after another.

The normal publishing operations of Oriental Daily have begun to be affected.

In addition, the windows of the newspaper office were smashed in the middle of the night, and red paint was splashed on the outer wall, with large characters such as "full of evil" written on them.

That's not all.

Ma Tingqiang's original wife and children found that they were being followed when they went out.

Even when he went out to the newspaper office, there seemed to be other vehicles following him in front and behind his car.

He didn't particularly care at first.

It was not until the fifth day after being released on bail that he was awakened by the frightened cries of the Filipino maid downstairs.

When I hurried downstairs, I found three dog heads placed neatly on the coffee table in the living room.

They were the heads of the three Doberman Pinschers in his family.

The bloodstains extended from the first-floor door to the stairs on the second floor.

Although Ma is not involved in drugs, his family has always had close ties with Hong Kong community groups.

The dog head and the bloodstains, the signals conveyed by these two things are too obvious.

His opponent could easily kill him, but has not done so yet.

Ma Tingqiang knew that he must have offended a powerful person.

While being detained by the police, he was silently thinking about possible enemies.

But the Ma family has too many enemies.
He thought about it all night but still had no clue.

Now it seems that this enemy has great power.

Not only is he rich, he can certainly direct Hong Kong's social groups.

Otherwise, being followed and being infiltrated to kill dogs would require a lot of manpower just for these two points.

It couldn't have been done by a professional killer.

After this incident, Ma Tingqiang has been anxiously waiting for his opponent's next move.

Whether to fight or to make peace is no longer a choice he can make.

The day after the dog was killed, Dayanming came to the Oriental Newspaper Office with his lawyer.

"Mr. Ma, my boss asked me to ask you a question: 'Have you slept well these past two days?'"

Ma Tingqiang's pupils shrank, and he immediately realized that the other party was the mastermind behind it.

"I wonder who your boss is?"

"Mr. Ma is really a forgetful person. When your newspaper scolded him some time ago, you even named him by name."

".Fang Sheng?"

"I'm not going to waste my time talking to you. My boss told me to give you the final ultimatum."

"Sell the Oriental Daily to us, and then take your family back to the island. There will be no place for your Ma family in Hong Kong from now on."

"The boss also said: 'You Ma family can refuse orders, but he doesn't mind a few more dead bodies on the seabed off Hong Kong to feed the fish.'"

"This is the last chance, I hope Mr. Ma can seize it!"
