【新唐人2014年10月14日讯】在香港上市的广东地产开发商雅居乐，其董事会主席陈卓林失联的消息，终于得以证实。雅居乐日前发出的公告，确认陈卓林已被中共当局“监视居住”。该公司早前也被传出，与前中共政治局常委周永康有所关联。
是非不断的雅居乐，10号晚间发出的公告说，已接获陈卓林妻子陆倩芳通知，陈卓林在9月30号，已经被昆明市检察院执行“指定居所居住”措施。不过，公告并没有进一步披露有关细节。
雅居乐同时宣布，10号对董事会名单进行调整，公司调任两名非执行董事，来协助管理公司日常营运。陈卓林妻子陆倩芳，以及弟弟陈卓贤，分别担任联席主席和联席总裁。而陈卓林仍会维持其主席兼总裁的身份。
早在10月3号，雅居乐股票突然在香港联交所停牌，但当时公司并没有对外解释停牌原因。而早前不断有传闻说，雅居乐公司主席陈卓林“下落不明”。
13号，大陆《 第一财经日报》报导，多方消息显示，陈卓林此次被调查，可能和该公司云南项目向当地部分官员进行利益输送有关。
虽然最新的公告称，雅居乐已申请由10月13号，于联交所恢复买卖。 但事件对公司造成重大打击。10号上午，雅居乐宣布原本计划在近期实施的，筹资近28亿港币的供股计划取消。同日，雅居乐两笔美元债券价格大幅下跌。多家投行研究机构将雅居乐股票评级变更为“卖出”。大陆媒体消息说，雅居乐高达600亿元的云南项目，其多位负责人也被调查。
美国南卡罗莱纳大学艾肯商学院教授谢田：“这个公司如果它的资产、股份上跟中共高层搏斗一方有关系的话，它肯定会受到政治上的冲击。现在不管怎么说，对大部分投资公司的股民来说，他们肯定会受到打击受到损失。投资者的信心丧失这一点，就足以对这个公司构成严重威胁。”
其实，在陈卓林出事之前，大陆已有报导指出，雅居乐集团与前中共政治局常委周永康有关。
10月3号，“港澳台民间维权总会”在网上刊登文章，大爆黑幕。有香港商人直指周永康是雅居乐董事局主席陈卓贤的干爹，并表示雅居乐背后的真正大股东是周永康。
此外，文章还提到，时任国土资源部部长的周永康，曾多次到雅居乐参观，以及支持雅居乐在中山强行圈地。相关举报还指出，雅居乐涉嫌赠送别墅给前香港特首曾荫权 。
北京时政观察人士华颇：“监视居住，肯定是有问题，他和周永康的关系也非空穴来风。 主要还是要查周永康在香港这条线上的人马，（但）这都是猜测呀。香港肯定也有好些周永康的人马，我想这也是一种威慑作用。”
到了10月7号，雅居乐发表声明，否认周永康是该公司的大股东。新唐人记者拨通了雅居乐公司的电话，但工作人员对此不愿多说。
雅居乐公司工作人员：“这个我们不清楚，最新消息你最好是看新闻咯。”
华颇：“这个人涉（案）的话，我看是很深。他和周家有利益交换，肯定是房地产的利益交换。这些商人为什么行贿呢？和中国的政治体制、政治环境有关系啊，如果他不行贿、不傍上官的话，他怎么能发财啊？所以这个人（被）调查，关键这个人是不是配合，是不是把他知道的周永康的一些不可告人的东西全部抖搂出来。”
周永康今年7月被中纪委立案审查后，外界对于他的家族贪腐金额猜测不断。海外多家传媒引述中华论坛的网贴透露，周永康家族资产多达一千亿元人民币，分布在全国七个省市，可以说是“富可敌国”。
有分析认为，有关周永康家族资产的消息近期广泛流传，不排除是中共内部人士，为了在四中全会上为周案作最后定调，而提前故意放风。

Property Company CEO Under Investigation, May Be Linked to Zhou Yongkang
The location of the CEO and chairman of a Hong Kong listed
land developer has finally been confirmed.
Guangdong-based Agile Property has confirmed that
Chen Zhuolin is living under monitoring
by the Chinese authorities.
The company has also been said to be related to former
Politburo Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang.
Agile Property continues to face troubles
after issuing a notice on Oct. 10.
It says Chen’s wife Luk Sin-fong told Agile that he’s been
staying in “a designated residence" since Sept. 30
under orders by the Kunming City Prosecutor.
However, the announcement didn’t give further details.
Agile also announced it would adjust it’s board list on Oct. 10.
The company transferred two non-executive directors to
help with the daily operations.
Chen’s wife and his brother Chan Cheuk-yin
will serve as co-chair and co-CEO, respectively.
While Chen remains Chairman and CEO.
As early as Oct. 3, Agile’s stocks suddenly suspended in
Hong Kong Stock Exchange with no reason.
Before that, there were rumors
that chairman Chen was missing.
China Business News reported on Oct. 13 that there are
several indicators that Chen’s investigation might be related
to Yunnan project transferring benefits to the local officials.
Although Agile said in its latest announcement it has applied
to resume trading on the Stock Exchange on Oct. 13;
the company has already suffered a major blow.
On the morning of Oct. 10, Agile announced the recently
scheduled HK$2.8 billion ($361 million) of the rights issue
plan has been canceled.
On the same day, Agile two dollar bonds prices fell sharply.
Several investment research institutions
rated Agile stock to sell.
Reports say many people in charge of Agile’s 60 billion yuan
($9.8 billion) project in Yunnan are also under investigation.
Frank Xie Tian, business professor: “The company might be
impacted politically if its assets and shares are linked
to one side of Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
senior level struggles.
Now, most investors might be hit by the loss.
The investors’ losing confidence is enough to pose a serious
threat to the company."
In fact, before Chen’s recent problems, there were reports
that Agile is linked to former Politburo Standing Committee
member and security czar Zhou Yongkang.
On Oct. 3, the Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan People’s
Rights Preservation General Association revealed
the shady deal in an online article.
A Hong Kong businessman said Zhou is the foster parent
of Agile chairman Chen and is the real majority shareholder.
The article also mentioned that Zhou Yongkang repeatedly
visited Agile while he was a Minister of Land and Resources,
and supported its forced enclosure in Zhongshan.
Related reports also say that Agile allegedly gave a villa
to the former Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang.
Hua Po, Beijing politics watcher: “Residential surveillance is
definitely a problem and the relationship between him and
Zhou Yongkang is also not groundless.
They mainly investigate Zhou’s fellow in Hong Kong,
[but] this is just speculation.
Hong Kong definitely has quite a few of Zhou’s people.
I think this is a deterrent. “
Until Oct. 7, Agile denied that Zhou is a major company
shareholder in a statement.
NTD reporters called the company,
but the staff didn’t want to explain.
Agile company staff: “You’d better read the latest news
because we are not clear about it."
Hua Po: “If this guy is involved [in the case]
I think it goes deep.
[His links with] Zhou would be real estate exchange.
Why do these businessmen bribe?
Working with China political system and environment,
how could they have made a fortune without bribing
and getting close to the officials.
So the key point is whether the investigated person
cooperates investigation to release Zhou’s secrets."
Speculation continues on the degree Zhou’s corruption since
he was investigated in July.
Many overseas Chinese media quoted Chinese online
forum posts revealing that Zhou’s family assets
are up to 100 billion yuan ($16.3 billion);
which is distributed in seven provinces and cities nationwide.
Some analysts say it may have been Communist Party insiders
who released the news about the Zhou family assets,
and that they deliberately leaked the news in advance
in order to set the tone at the Fourth Plenary Session.
