On February 10, the world-renowned Phoenix Satellite Television, known as the “Central Television of Hong Kong“, announced a major personnel earthquake, in which the entire Family of Liu Changle, the founder and chairman of the station, was replaced and left the management. Xu Wei, secretary of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, and Sun Yusheng, deputy director of CCTV, took over as chairman and general manager, respectively. Liu Changle, who has a background in the Chinese Communist Party military, has been running Phoenix TV for decades and has been instrumental in guiding public opinion on the return of Hong Kong and the “love for the Party and the country” of Hong Kong people.
Liu Changle, CEO and Chairman of Phoenix Satellite Television
Phoenix TV is currently a listed company in Hong Kong, and Liu Changle is the largest shareholder of Phoenix TV, holding 38.08% of the shares. Phoenix TV’s second largest shareholder is China Mobile Telecom Hong Kong Group, with a 19.69% shareholding. But now it is fast and furious, and the family of Liu Changle, who has deep roots in Phoenix TV, has all been removed. So what is the reason behind it?
The reason for the whole thing on the surface is because of the Phoenix Financial thunderstorm, a P2P platform owned by Phoenix Satellite Television. This event victim up to more than 70,000 people, the amount of money involved up to 10 billion yuan, is really not a small bomb. I will talk more about the financial thunderstorm later.
This Time, the top management of Phoenix TV was removed in a pot, the reason is certainly not so simple. Let’s look at the removal of Liu Changle after the replacement of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences Secretary Xu Wei, CCTV deputy director Sun Yusheng took over as chairman and general manager, respectively. One is the director of the Shanghai Information Office, the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Academy of Social Sciences, and the other is in charge of the Chinese Communist Party’s power and mouthpiece, the deputy director of CCTV, so it can be said that these two figures up to change, is unabashedly, nakedly declared, Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite Television, has become the CCTV Hong Kong Branch. This and the implementation of Hong Kong’s national security law on the media, administrative and barber, the full takeover of the judiciary is highly relevant. Before the Phoenix top staff still need to borrow the identity of Hong Kong locals to cover up a little, now directly transfer CCTV people over, so to speak naked for news control.
Of course, the P2P thunderstorm that led to this personnel earthquake is no small event. Since last year, there are some netizens message that Phoenix Financial has appeared unable to pay. At that time, they did not think much about it, thinking that it might be a modest P2P platform. But after the thunderstorm started at the end of last year, I found that this platform is not a small platform, the scale is still quite substantial.
The company is a member of Phoenix Financial, which was incorporated in Beijing in August 2014, claiming to serve the Chinese worldwide. Phoenix Financial’s chairman, He Xin, is rumored to be the son-in-law of Phoenix TV’s chairman, Liu Changle! As of October 15 last year, Phoenix Financial’s cumulative transaction amount exceeded 100 billion yuan and the number of registered users exceeded 11 million. Phoenix Financial’s business segments involve online loans, funds, overseas, etc. At present, Phoenix Financial has more than 70,000 lenders who lend their funds to Phoenix Financial for online lending, involving a pending principal of nearly 10 billion yuan.
In recent years, under Beijing’s policy of supporting financial inclusion and “Internet+”, many people lent their funds to Phoenix Financial out of trust in Phoenix, and they lent them to people who needed them, earning a not-so-high interest rate from them. online lending products and took down all products. Subsequently, a number of lenders reported that they did not receive any more principal and interest due from the Phoenix Financial platform.
On September 30, Phoenix Financial issued a statement in response to speculation of a “runaway”, saying that it stopped its online lending business because “some of the products were not paid back in a timely manner”. On November 5 of the same year, Phoenix Financial issued another announcement, stating that it would “maximize the protection of the rights and interests of lending users” and that it was “developing a diverse exit pipeline to help lending users carry out exit work”.
Phoenix Financial tens of thousands of lenders running to defend their rights: by January 15, 2021, Phoenix Financial launched three “emergency early exit channel for lenders”. The first is the emergency early exit channel for major illnesses, but the dedicated phone line is not available or unanswered; the second is the emergency fund exit channel, so that the fund management company to lend users to purchase outstanding or overdue claims, but this purchase but the lender to set their own bid price, some people fill in the 70% discount also failed to deal; the third is the debt payment mall, that is, the introduction of the debt mall, so that lenders use claims to buy Home appliances, Food and oil, rice and noodles, daily necessities. Daily necessities, etc. However, these programs are not seriously implemented by Phoenix Financial and have not gained the support of lenders. For several months, lenders have been negotiating with the platform manager, repeatedly complaining on Weibo and Black Cat Complaint, and even blocking the office building, but they have not seen the repayment plan.
At present, there are as many as 70,000 victims of Phoenix Financial, and many of them are left with no money. Many lenders have responded to the lending platform and negotiated without a positive response, complaining on online social media platforms, but because of Phoenix TV’s old signature, many netizens believe it is just administrative negligence, and have been complaining to the platform for months without a satisfactory result, and some lenders have gathered to block the Phoenix TV office building.
It can be said that Phoenix TV has also taken advantage of the east wind of China P2P over the years and successfully harvested a bunch of leeks from mainland China. Now more than 5,000 P2P platforms in China have been retired, and Phoenix Financial has successfully completed its mission to collect money. Liu Changle family made a lot of money, so they took this opportunity to wash their hands of the money. Liu Changle reaped the leeks and retired, while also vacating the position to the mainland roots of the party news cadres. At the same time, those also to those who were harvested 70,000 leeks an account, can be said to be a two-fold. It’s just that those 70,000 people will find it much harder to get money from Liu Changle and his son-in-law.
Meanwhile, it is also rumored that Wang Xuebing, the former president of Bank of China, joined hands with Liu Changle and misappropriated Bank of China funds to issue loans through Phoenix, lending a total of about $500 million. Liu Changle provided some of the kickbacks to Wang Xuebing and his family, while another part was deposited in the name of his family in a Swiss bank in Zurich. This news is still just a rumor, maybe it will be further confirmed later.
In addition to these bad financial debts, the internal executives of Phoenix Satellite Television are also living a corrupt Life, and a large number of CCTV anchorwomen have become the mistresses of senior officials, Phoenix Satellite Television is also a popular subterfuge for female anchors. Under the “leadership of the party”, Phoenix TV has become a den of prostitution.
The former anchor of Phoenix TV, Zheng Peifang, in the blog post “Peifang’s Diary: A Review of Ten Years on the Road”, revealed that she had committed suicide on New Year’s Day 2001 by swallowing 50 sleeping pills because she could not accept the unspoken rule that she had to “sleep with” the station to start a new program. Zheng Pei Fang’s shocking words: Phoenix is not even considered the Hong Kong media, all the leaders from the mainland officials, there are bad problems. Anyone who is not capable of appearing on camera has been submerged in the rules, and many male and female anchors are like that.
Once it was rumored that Phoenix TV’s pillar Dou Wentao matchmaking, pimping things to executives, it can be said that the three views are destroyed. If many viewers know about such scandals, they may have a completely different view of Phoenix TV.
In short, for the past 25 years, under the banner of Hong Kong media, Phoenix has been doing exactly the standard of the Communist Party media, the Hong Kong branch of CCTV, and the big authentic foreign media. Many Hong Kong people and overseas Chinese have been led by them to become patriotic and party-loving pinkies or fifty cents. Phoenix is corrupt and scandalous internally. Now it is also under the banner of financial innovation, victimizing more than 70,000 innocent people, which can indeed be said to be the worst crime.
Now the deputy director of CCTV is parachuted into Phoenix TV, this corrupt red media will surely become even more corrupt in the future. From this level, we can also feel the sinking of Hong Kong under the red terror. Apart from sighing, there is really nothing to say ……
