The chairman of the People's Party, Ko Wen-je, has been in a lot of trouble recently. Lin Guannian, former executive director of the People's Party Hsinchu County Party Committee, recently revealed that Ko Wen-je's wife, Chen Pei-chi, went to see a house with a price of over 100 million Taiwan dollars in July. In response, Chen Pei-chi said on the 20th that she was indeed looking for houses everywhere because she wanted her son to get married. Former legislator Guo Zhengliang said that this incident showed Chen Pei-chi's anxiety, and that she had no political experience and was not familiar with the "law". "She had never dealt with a big crisis before, and this was a big crisis."
Lin Guannian, who was recently expelled from the People's Party for drunk driving, revealed that Chen Peiqi went to see a 120 million yuan luxury house near the Taiwan Public Opinion Institute last month. In addition, the real estate agency group on the island also went viral, saying that Chen Peiqi not only looked at one house on the 13th floor, but also two houses on the 15th floor, a total of three houses. Because real-name registration is required to enter and exit luxury houses, the news spread. Real estate agent Chen Taiyuan analyzed based on past experience, "Looking at three houses at a time usually means that the motivation for buying a house is very clear." In recent years, in the luxury home market in Taiwan, 7 to 8 out of 10 transactions were 100% cash purchases.
In response to the discussion this incident sparked, Chen Peiqi posted another post today (22nd) saying that she had been looking for houses in the past three or four months, mainly because her three children had gone overseas at the same time and she felt that her "empty nest depression" was coming again, so she quickly looked for things she wanted to do but hadn't done in the past. When she had nothing to do, she went to look at houses nearby.
Chen Peiqi said that she started to help her son with the house-changing plan last year, and this year she started to look at houses because she wanted to change houses herself. She also revealed that she had seen offices, but most of them were to contact agents, and she had the impression that the house owners came out to receive people. As for whether the other party was a builder or had already bought the house from the builder, she didn't know. Chen Peiqi also admitted that she did go to see the luxury house priced at 120 million yuan mentioned by the "famous mouth", but she also said that sometimes it was dark and she couldn't see clearly and couldn't remember the name of the project.
Earlier, in Chen Pei-chi's response to the "dummy company case," Taipei City Councilor You Shu-hui questioned that Chen Pei-chi's confession and then retracting on Facebook were actually very "legal illiterate" behaviors. Regarding Chen Pei-chi's viewing of luxury houses, You Shu-hui further pointed out that Ko Wen-je's son is already 30 years old. We must learn to respect our children, and parents must engage in politics themselves, and not push their children into the trap like this. "Opening a company and viewing luxury houses are all attributed to her son. Perhaps she was in a hurry to open a company, and she wanted to learn from Mu Ke's public relations company and withdraw money from the political donation account? It's just a pity that she was discovered too early?" You Shu-hui also questioned, "Opening a company and viewing luxury houses is because there are too many donations and cash?"
Taiwan media person Xie Hanbing bluntly said that Chen Pei-chi's visit to the luxury house was discussed because it was "not in line with her personality". It is natural for Chen Pei-chi to love her children, but there is no need to make a big fuss and let the world know. It is not a big deal for her to go to the luxury house, but now that Ko Wen-je is caught up in the storm of false accounts, isn't it embarrassing to go and see it? "There is no way, this is how Taiwan politics is." Xie Hanbing emphasized that the most serious problem of the People's Party now is that "family affairs and party affairs are not separated." Ko Wen-je should quickly set up an SOP (standard operating procedure) to separate his family affairs from the affairs of the People's Party, and restrict his family from expressing opinions on politics in the future. Because Chen Pei-chi's speeches are often inconsistent with Ko's, this will cause a big problem.
Xie Hanbing also pointed out that since politicians have chosen a specific persona, they should play it well. When Ko Wen-je called on "small grass" to donate, he should not wear gold and silver and spend too much money on things that most people think should not be spent. "If Ko P can't think this through, then the People's Party is finished. If he thinks it through, there may still be hope in the future."
Another local media person, Huang Yangming, stressed that it is not wrong for Ko Wen-je and Chen Pei-chi to have money. But as the chairman of the People's Party, Ko Wen-je had just been elected as the leader of Taiwan. How could he go to look at houses, and even go to the house next to the Taiwan Public Opinion Organization? Huang Yangming said that celebrities usually ask their confidants to look at houses. The behavior of Ko Wen-je and Chen Pei-chi seemed to be "unsophisticated". Huang Yangming lamented that such things could happen to ordinary people in politics, but Ko Wen-je has been in politics for ten years, so how could his spouse have such a situation? It can only be said that Chen Pei-chi is not concerned about Ko Wen-je's political path now. She is concerned about her son's future family and career.
Guo Zhengliang pointed out that the market value of Ko Wen-je's original house may be 90 million. Both husband and wife are doctors at National Taiwan University, so they can definitely afford it. The current price of 120 million is not far from the price of his original house, so it is not that exaggerated. But what is more exaggerated is that Chen Pei-chi is so talkative, "It feels like she is protecting her son, she is very protective of her son, maybe she is afraid that her son will be questioned." Guo Zhengliang finally said frankly, "This shows Chen Pei-chi's anxiety, and she has no political experience and is not familiar with the 'law'. She has never dealt with a big crisis, and this is a big crisis."
Ye Yuanzhi, a KMT legislator, revealed that a meme was circulating on the Internet. On the left side of the picture was a photo of media person Shang Yifu, and on the right was a giant balloon in the shape of Ko Wen-je with the words "Hundred Million Husband" written on it. Ye Yuanzhi said that the appearance of this meme meant that Ko Wen-je was being ridiculed, and it would be difficult to change his image. Therefore, Ye Yuanzhi emphasized that Chen Pei-chi's matter really needed to be made clear, otherwise it would be easy for others to attack him. ((Lin Jingxian, Strait Herald reporter in Taiwan)
