Hong Kong media: Chi-Ying Lai sells Taiwan property again, cashing out HK$475 million
Hong Kong media on December 8, news that the lawsuit-ridden chaotic Hong Kong leader and founder of Next Media, Chi-Ying Lai earlier announced the sale of its Taipei Neihu District, an office building property to improve working capital situation. Next Media announced Tuesday (8th) evening that it had sold the property for 1.75 billion New Taiwan dollars (about HK$475 million).
According to Hong Kong’s “EastNet” report, Chi-Ying Lai as the major shareholder of Next Media announced that the buyer is Taiwan Net Banking International Co. The remaining HK$289 million was used for general working capital.
According to the report, Chi-Ying Li has been selling off his assets in recent years in the face of repeated losses from his Hong Kong and Taiwan businesses. In July this year, Taiwan-listed builder Changhong Construction announced that it invested NT$6.139 billion (about HK$1.6 billion) to buy land and buildings in the Daan section of New Taipei City’s Tuqu District from Chi-Ying Li’s related companies. In the past, Taiwanese media reported that Chi-Ying Li had been selling off Taiwan’s assets for years, cashing out more than NT$14.5 billion (about HK$4 billion). He was also criticized for land hoarding and speculation, and was questioned about the mysterious source of funds for his land purchases.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, School of Professional and Continuing Education lecturer Chan Wai-keung said, One Media has been losing money in recent years, “So this is how to sell” (so sell) property to save themselves, but One Media’s performance is still no improvement, inevitably make people wonder how to continue to have the funds to bear the huge expenses; and his right-hand man Mark Simon past only the U.S. military background, and does not have any experience in media, not to mention any ability to serve in the Chinese media at the top, will make the public think about his real role in the Next Media, whether to take the lead in accepting donations from the U.S. side.
