【新唐人2014年10月14日訊】在香港上市的廣東地產開發商雅居樂，其董事會主席陳卓林失聯的消息，終於得以證實。雅居樂日前發出的公告，確認陳卓林已被中共當局「監視居住」。該公司早前也被傳出，與前中共政治局常委周永康有所關聯。
是非不斷的雅居樂，10號晚間發出的公告說，已接獲陳卓林妻子陸倩芳通知，陳卓林在9月30號，已經被昆明市檢察院執行「指定居所居住」措施。不過，公告並沒有進一步披露有關細節。
雅居樂同時宣佈，10號對董事會名單進行調整，公司調任兩名非執行董事，來協助管理公司日常營運。陳卓林妻子陸倩芳，以及弟弟陳卓賢，分別擔任聯席主席和聯席總裁。而陳卓林仍會維持其主席兼總裁的身份。
早在10月3號，雅居樂股票突然在香港聯交所停牌，但當時公司並沒有對外解釋停牌原因。而早前不斷有傳聞說，雅居樂公司主席陳卓林「下落不明」。
13號，大陸《 第一財經日報》報導，多方消息顯示，陳卓林此次被調查，可能和該公司雲南項目向當地部分官員進行利益輸送有關。
雖然最新的公告稱，雅居樂已申請由10月13號，於聯交所恢復買賣。 但事件對公司造成重大打擊。10號上午，雅居樂宣佈原本計劃在近期實施的，籌資近28億港幣的供股計劃取消。同日，雅居樂兩筆美元債券價格大幅下跌。多家投行研究機構將雅居樂股票評級變更為「賣出」。大陸媒體消息說，雅居樂高達600億元的雲南項目，其多位負責人也被調查。
美國南卡羅萊納大學艾肯商學院教授謝田：「這個公司如果它的資產、股份上跟中共高層搏鬥一方有關係的話，它肯定會受到政治上的衝擊。現在不管怎麼說，對大部分投資公司的股民來說，他們肯定會受到打擊受到損失。投資者的信心喪失這一點，就足以對這個公司構成嚴重威脅。」
其實，在陳卓林出事之前，大陸已有報導指出，雅居樂集團與前中共政治局常委周永康有關。
10月3號，「港澳臺民間維權總會」在網上刊登文章，大爆黑幕。有香港商人直指周永康是雅居樂董事局主席陳卓賢的乾爹，並表示雅居樂背後的真正大股東是周永康。
此外，文章還提到，時任國土資源部部長的周永康，曾多次到雅居樂參觀，以及支持雅居樂在中山強行圈地。相關舉報還指出，雅居樂涉嫌贈送別墅給前香港特首曾蔭權 。
北京時政觀察人士華頗：「監視居住，肯定是有問題，他和周永康的關係也非空穴來風。 主要還是要查周永康在香港這條線上的人馬，（但）這都是猜測呀。香港肯定也有好些周永康的人馬，我想這也是一種威懾作用。」
到了10月7號，雅居樂發表聲明，否認周永康是該公司的大股東。新唐人記者撥通了雅居樂公司的電話，但工作人員對此不願多說。
雅居樂公司工作人員：「這個我們不清楚，最新消息你最好是看新聞咯。」
華頗：「這個人涉（案）的話，我看是很深。他和周家有利益交換，肯定是房地產的利益交換。這些商人為甚麼行賄呢？和中國的政治體制、政治環境有關係啊，如果他不行賄、不傍上官的話，他怎麼能發財啊？所以這個人（被）調查，關鍵這個人是不是配合，是不是把他知道的周永康的一些不可告人的東西全部抖摟出來。」
周永康今年7月被中紀委立案審查後，外界對於他的家族貪腐金額猜測不斷。海外多家傳媒引述中華論壇的網貼透露，周永康家族資產多達一千億元人民幣，分佈在全國七個省市，可以說是「富可敵國」。
有分析認為，有關周永康家族資產的消息近期廣泛流傳，不排除是中共內部人士，為了在四中全會上為周案作最後定調，而提前故意放風。

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.
