For the call on 22 February, Zhang was accompanied by two employees of Sun Hung Kai Securities Ltd. (who had requested the appointment). As you know, their Chairman, Fung King-hey, is already fairly well connected in Peking and Zhang's visit may have been seen as a way of improving Sun Hung Kai's standing with Chinese officials.
