The embrace of Taiwan returning to the motherland has always been what the people of the whole country look forward to, but good things have gone through hardships. Out of many considerations, it has never been able to achieve true reunification of the motherland. There have also been black sheep in Hong Kong. Not only are they suspected of fraud, but they also colluded with foreign forces, seriously violating the Hong Kong National Security Law. He is Jimmy Lai.
As a Chinese, Jimmy Lai, the leader of Hong Kong chaos and founder of Next Media, who was originally from Shunde, Guangdong, he was in trouble with the country and Hong Kong and colluded with external forces. His actions reached the point of being ashamed of the villagers, and ended up being angrily removed from the genealogy and denounced as a "rebellious son" by the Li family in Shunde.
But when everyone criticized him, other discoveries were made. It turned out that the famous Taiwanese vocalist Zhao Shaokang and the rioters of Hong Kong Ji-ying had actually had a "collusion" before. Zhao Shaokang's son was actually Ji-ying's favorite disciple. What's going on?
"Hong Kong leader" Jimmy Lai
In December 1948, Jimmy Lai was born in Guangzhou. Because of his poor family conditions, he could only try his best to earn living expenses when he was young. When he was 12 years old, he smuggled to Hong Kong alone and made a living by working as child labor.
During this period, he met a retired English teacher who was in charge of the warehouse. With the help of this teacher, Jimmy Lai, who had never been to school, began to learn English by himself, and his English level began to improve by leaps and bounds.
1973, the Hong Kong stock market suffered a heavy blow. At this time, Jimmy Lai seized the opportunity and invested most of the money he saved by saving money into the stock market. However, unexpectedly, after a year, he made a full 250,000 yuan, and this became his "first pot of gold".
In 1981, Jimmy Lai founded the Giordano Clothing Company in Hong Kong, which achieved great success, which also made him a famous clothing king in Hong Kong. However, in 1990, Jimmy Lai, 42, did something incredible.
He actually sold all the shares of Giordano , changed his career to become a media, and thus founded "One Weekly" and Next Media Group in one fell swoop. He suddenly changed from a "clothing king" to a "media tycoon". In 1995, he launched the Apple Daily.
Speaking of which, Jimmy Lai has been smooth and smooth throughout the journey, and he is like a successful person. However, although he has certain abilities in investing and starting a business, he is far from being so "clean".
In 2021, he was detained in Stanley Prison for violating the Hong Kong National Security Law, as well as fraud and illegal assembly, and the filth he hid in private began to be dug out one by one.
In recent years, Jimmy Lai's Hong Kong and Taiwan business has been losing money, but at this time, he was found to have luxury properties in Taiwan, France, Japan, the United States and Canada, and his secret luxury house in the "American Village" in Yangmingshan, Taipei has also been exposed.
During the illegal "Occupy Central" in Hong Kong in 2014, Hong Kong media discovered that former chairman of the American Association in Taiwan Bo Ruiguang personally visited Jimmy Lai on the spot. The two sat side by side and talked secretly from time to time. In 2015, Jimmy Lai built a luxury house in Taipei. In order to be completed in early May 2016, the new luxury house was rushing to work day and night, and finally completed the renovation at the end of April of the same year and was officially completed in early May.
When the mansion was just completed, Tsai Ing-wen, who was about to take office in Taiwan, was invited to this new mansion and had a secret discussion with Jimmy Lai, and Tsai Ing-wen has never mentioned this secret meeting to the outside world.
This mansion eventually became Jimmy Lai’s secret base in Taiwan, a place where he met with various people.
Around the illegal "Occupy Central" in 2014, Jimmy Lai ran to Taiwan from time to time, and then flew from Taiwan to Japan and the United States. Since he moved into the new house in May 2016, Tsai Ing-wen and others have visited one after another. Since then, Jimmy Lai has traveled between Hong Kong and Taiwan more and more times.
In early December 2020, Jimmy Lai was detained in the Lai Chi Kok Detention Center for suspected fraud and accused of violating the Hong Kong National Security Law. On the 16th of the same month, Tsai Ing-wen, Taiwan's Tsai Ing-wen openly "supported" Jimmy Lai online without regard for the consequences of this incident.
In addition to Tsai Ing-wen, there is also Taiwan’s head of administrative agencies Su Zhenchang. After Tsai Ing-wen publicly stated that she supported Jimmy Lai, Su Zhenchang also admitted that she often went to her luxury house for dinner at Jimmy Lai’s invitation, and New Taipei City Mayor Zhu Lilun, who was once the chairman of the Kuomintang.
After Tsai Ing-wen and Su Zhenchang expressed their support for Jimmy Lai, Zhu Lilun also publicly "encouraged" Jimmy Lai who was in prison on December 18.
Jie Lai was detained for more than ten days, his wife and children came to the detention center to visit the prison and brought Jimmy Lai a book of reflection "Seven Mountains". An hour later, the two left in a hurry and did not disclose to the public the situation of Jimmy Lai in prison.
Later, Jimmy Lai applied for bail on December 23, 2020 and was approved. In order to stop Jimmy Lai from causing greater harm, the Hong Kong Department of Justice then appealed for his bail. Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal approved the final appeal permit on December 31, 2020. Jimmy Lai was taken back to the Lai Chi Kok Detention Center for solitary confinement on the same day.
On February 1, 2021, the appeal that Jimmy Lai, who had been in many cases, was allowed to be released on bail, finally began the trial. At this time, Jimmy Lai, who had been detained for 32 days, was also taken to the final court by a prison car early in the morning to attend the trial. During this period, he kept bowing his head and silent. In the end, the judge believed that he was at risk of absconding and applied for bail again and was denied.
This is also because Jimmy Lai's maximum penalty in the case is life imprisonment . The court generally does not give bail to the defendants in the murder case. If Jimmy Lai abscond or commits again during the bail period, it will cause great harm to society.
As for Zhao Shaokang, he is also among the people who are often invited to visit Jimmy Lai's luxury house. Not long ago, he announced his return to the Kuomintang and ran for the party's chairman. He and Jimmy Lai are not just simple "fighters".
February 5, 2021, Zhao Shaokang, as a media person, not only expressed his support for Jimmy Lai in major media in Taiwan, but also personally called Jimmy Lai's wife when Jimmy Lai was arrested to understand Jimmy Lai's current situation. From this, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is indeed not simple.
"The mouth is soft and the hands are soft. Whoever works harder to speak and protect Jimmy Lai will be the guest of the secret meeting of Li's secret meeting."
"Taiwanese Famous Mouth" Zhao Shaokang
In 1950, Zhao Shaokang, whose ancestral home is She County, Hebei Province, was born in Keelung City, Taiwan Province. He was at the Agricultural Machinery Department of Taiwan University. After graduation, he chose to study in the United States, and he firmly chose to major in science and engineering, because in that era, science and engineering was easier to find a job and it was easier to get a scholarship in the United States. Zhao Shaokang finally obtained a master's degree as he wished.
After returning from studying abroad, because he had a lot of big environments when he was a student, he felt that he should do something for Taiwan, so he was studying science and engineering and embarked on the path of politics.
After he had the idea of turning to politics, he happened to encounter a good opportunity. At that time, Taipei City was electing a city council member. Zhao Shaokang had the idea and started a life of registering and giving speeches everywhere. He was nominated after that. That election was the highest vote of the Kuomintang in Taipei City. He got more than 20,000 votes, and that vote could be elected as two members of the parliament.
In 1989, he served as deputy director of the Central Arts and Trade Union of the Kuomintang. In terms of politics, Zhao Shaokang's performance is also quite outstanding. He often presents it to the general public in the image of reform. If he thinks there is a mistake, he must say it and if he says it, he must correct it.
In 1993, due to different political views from the then-Korean Party Chairman Lee Teng-hui, Zhao Shaokang and six other people held a press conference on August 10, announcing his withdrawal from the KMT and the establishment of a new party, with Zhao Shaokang as the first convener.
For Zhao Shaokang, in fact, he and Lee Teng-hui have no personal grudges, but their ideas are different. The two drew a clear line, so later Zhao Shaokang and others embarked on the road of organizing a new party.
After the founding of the new party, it began to put forward political concepts of opposing "Taiwan independence", advocating unification, and opposing black gold , and declared that it would be the spokesperson for ordinary people.
The founding of the new party brought a fresh air to the Taiwan political arena. Its political demands against corruption conformed to the mainstream public opinion on the island at that time. Therefore, in the "Legislative Yuan" election at the end of 1995, the new party won nearly 13%, firmly gaining the position of the third largest party, and becoming a key force to check and balance Taiwan's political arena.
In August 1994, Zhao Shaokang was officially nominated for the new party and began to run for the mayor of Taipei City, but unfortunately lost. After that, Zhao Shaokang began to gradually withdraw from politics. Even so, he was still concerned about the development of the new party and has always stood up for the new party members who participated in the election.
In Zhao Shaokang's eyes, the task of organizing the new party was mainly to let more people know Lee Teng-hui's ideas and to say that he was engaged in "Taiwan independence" and not be deceived by him, just to arouse everyone's attention. In fact, it gradually made everyone see his real thoughts clearly.
After running for Taipei mayor, Zhao Shaokang originally wanted to do TV, but found that the amount of capital of TV was very large and the difficulty was very high, so he gave up and turned to the media. He was mentally prepared to have no advertisements for two years at the beginning. Later, he did succeed.
In October 1996, UFO Radio Station, chaired by Zhao Shaokang, began to broadcast all-weather in Taipei, with very good ratings.
"Investment Expert" Zhao Dakai
How did Jimmy Lai and Zhao Shaokang get online? Speaking of this, we can’t help but talk about Zhao Shaokang’s son, Zhao Dakai. It is said that Zhao Shaokang is a "famous Taiwanese speaker" and has always been eloquent, but when talking about investment in front of his son Zhao Dakai, he can only shut up silently.
, and Zhao Dakai's excellent investment ability is also indispensable to Jimmy Lai's suggestions. It can be said that Zhao Dakai is Jimmy Lai's favorite disciple, and Jimmy Lai, who is skilled in investment, has praised Zhao Dakai repeatedly, saying that he has a very investment sense.
Zhao Shaokang's words have always been sharp and often make people speechless. After developing from politics to media, he still often scolds people in the programs he hosts, and is full of firepower. However, no matter what role he is, how good he is to criticize people, he can only shut up when facing his scheming.
And this psychologist is his son - Zhao Dakai. Zhao Shaokang listened to his son so much, and he passed several operating experiences to make him obediently and obediently.
When Zhao Dakai was only 17 years old, he had a unique vision of Apple stocks and suggested that Zhao Shaokang buy it. After he bought it, the stock began to rise sharply, but it started to fall soon, and the money he made suddenly became much less.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Shaokang thought that he had made a profit at least, so he sold all the stocks without telling his son. However, not long after the sale was finished, Apple's stock price rushed to $400. At this time, Zhao Shaokang could only watch and almost broke his thighs in anger. After
, Zhao Dakai suggested that Zhao Shaokang buy Google stocks, but Zhao Shaokang thought it was too expensive. During the financial tsunami, Zhao Dakai suggested to buy gold and oil futures , but Zhao Shaokang thought it was too troublesome, and in the end he could only watch these investment targets rise higher and higher, missing a lot of good opportunities to make money.
In 2011, Zhao Shaokang and his son talked about their previous investment experience in an interview. Facing their father who has been half a step late in investment, Zhao Dakai could only shake his head helplessly. Even though his son complained so much, Zhao Shaokang was not angry at all, but smiled proudly.
Zhao Dakai is very sensitive to numbers. His mother Liang Lei smiled and said, "If it is really hereditary, it is definitely not hereditary to me!" Because Zhao Dakai was 5 years old, he would "correct" his mother's shopping habits of just looking at packaging and colors. Even when he went to a convenience store to buy potato chips , Zhao Dakai would carefully calculate how many grams each pack contains, and how much does it cost to convert it into one gram? Decide which one is the best choice.
"However, his personality of calculating is sometimes really annoying!" Liang Lei said.
When Zhao Dakai was in middle school, he once chased Liang Lei on MRT and asked how many MRT cars and shifts are there, and how much money the MRT company can make. This is a very headache for Liang Lei, a person who has always been large in price and numbers.
Fortunately, Zhao Shaokang let his son go with it and is optimistic about his son's investment talent. Whenever he encounters any problems, he will take his son to find a way to solve them.
He noticed that Zhao Dakai was particularly interested in how to make money and how to succeed in the company. So from Zhao Dakai Middle School, Zhao Shaokang started to bring some related magazines and books home. When he saw interesting industry information, he would also clip newspapers for his son to read.
"I find many things interesting and may not continue to pay attention to them, but my father provides information channels and will discuss them with me, which is the motivation for me to conduct in-depth research."
After entering high school, Zhao Dakai has accumulated a lot of investment and financial management knowledge and hopes to show his skills, so he began to boldly ask Zhao Shaokang for his request, and therefore suggested that his father ask him to invest in Apple stocks.
At that time, Zhao Shaokang was very pleased. He did not refuse his son, but wanted to take this opportunity to educate his son on financial management. So he began to ask him to use the pocket money he had saved as principal to invest, so that he knew that investing was not easy.
But what was unexpected was that in the end, Zhao Shaokang couldn't bear it. He didn't ask his son's opinion, so he rushed to sell the stocks and settle the profit. This was a lesson for him.
As soon as he entered college, Zhao Dakai followed Jimmy Lai to study and got a good point of view. His advantages of observing investment trends from life are also used as an example by Jimmy Lai.
The summer vacation of the sophomore year was with Zhao Shaokang's trader friend and went to the top major domestic transmission companies. Later, during the summer vacation, Zhao Dakai passed the interviews from Taiwan and Hong Kong, and interned at the Barclays Investment Banking Department, working 14 hours a day.
You can follow the big boss at a young age, visit big companies and intern in foreign businessmen. Zhao Dakai has a richer experience than young people of the same age.
The willows and flowers are in a dark and will eventually be severely punished
Jimmy Lai's bad things were exposed and eventually ended up being abandoned by his family. What will be met will be severe punishment from the law.
. The Apple Daily, a subsidiary of Jimmy Lai, not only smears the country and Hong Kong, but also gradually becomes more and more powerful. It not only supports the evildoers, but also does not care about the safety of citizens at all. Jimmy Lai even directly ignores the evildoers, wanting to launch riots through the march, and even takes the lead in carrying out the violence to protect the rioters.
Ji-ying has always been keen on supporting the United States and pulling Hong Kong down. He wants to obtain certain political capital in this way, especially after receiving the reception of the United States and Hong Kong politicians, he became even more arrogant. He actually called Hong Kong fighting for the United States, and wanted to gain support from the United States and be removed from the genealogy. Perhaps he might be happier because he could "justified" to recognize relatives in the United States.
In 2021, Zhao Shaokang returned to the Kuomintang after nearly 30 years, and stated that he would run for the party chairman and even set his goal for the 2024 Taiwan leadership election, which caused a rippling ripples in Taiwan's political arena.
Zhao Shaokang once said that he was "very disappointed" with the Kuomintang, and his return to the Kuomintang was mainly due to the persuasion of former mayor Kaohsiung .
During that period, Han Kuo-yu even said bluntly that "save the Kuomintang and save Taiwan" could Zhao Shaokang do it, and it was precisely because of this sincere persuasion that made Zhao Shaokang shaken. Zhao Shaokang also said that he was also worried about the current situation in Taiwan, so he chose to stand up again.
He said, "As long as you can do things for Taiwan and the Blue Army, you will not exclude any position."
On January 21, 2022, Zhao Shaokang confidently said that he was "most suitable for representing the Kuomintang in China to run for the 2024 Taiwan leader", which also triggered discussions among the Taiwanese people on the topic of the 2024 election.
In the "Youth Experience Camp" event held by the Kuomintang of China, Zhao Shaokang was invited to be a lecturer. Regarding the question raised by the students who is the best suitable to represent the Kuomintang in China to run for the leadership of Taiwan in 2024, Zhao Shaokang confidently stated that he deserves it, including knowledge, ability, ethics, vision, and pattern.
After that, Zhao Shaokang further stated on social media that he can represent the Taiwanese people to fight for the best interests of Taiwan and want to decide candidates fairly and justly. If there is a more suitable candidate, he will also strongly support him and has no selfish intentions in politics. This has always been his attitude and position.
