 Could Admart be Jimmy Lai's last stand?
Lai claims that both Dairy Farm and Hutchison are waging war on adMart by ordering their subsidiaries to pull advertisements from his Apple Daily newspaper and Next magazine.
Lai used to live in a large detached house, but Teresa insisted that they move to a more secure apartment complex after thieves invaded their home in 1995, whacked Lai over the head with a spanner and stole a small sum of cash and $258,000 worth of jewelry.
Lai was in the news because of his Tiananmen activism, and Teresa, an intern reporter visiting Hong Kong on a break from university in France, was interviewing him for Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.

 Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan
Lai Chi-ying, or Jimmy Lai, packed his bags and his family in Hong Kong, leaving on his corporate yacht (aptly named Free China) in the wake of dashed - but only for a while - dreams, lawsuits and enemies, but he took to Taiwan a resolute belief that Taipei offers more personal and press freedom.
Lai's language, his verbal attacks against the government, and the macho gestures are reminiscent of a Chinese version of Norman Mailer, who in the turbulent 1960s placed himself front and center in his own media carnival and published work, The Armies of the Night.
Lai offers a revealing statement on the role of the media buried in Next Media's annual report: "The media are not the tools of the ruling powers but are the people's servant." And that includes the occasional brothel review.

 Press freedom is no luxury
Lai's letter, it is worth remembering that during the recent debate over electoral reform in Hong Kong, senior Chinese officials demonstrated their own familiarity with curses and invective.
Lai up, while simultaneously warning other publishers and businessmen that it can and will sabotage the business stability of those who are critical of Chinese leaders or policy.
Lai's column in Next Magazine's July 22 edition, the proper response in a free society is to write a letter to the editor, or for Premier Li to ask for equal time and space in the magazine to respond.

 Groceries To Go
In late June, Lai fired his opening salvo in a direct assault on the giants with a splashy opening for adMart, a home-delivery shopping service that might just be Hong Kong's most ambitious e-commerce effort to date (the "a-d" stands for Apple Daily).
Lai, now 50, sold his remaining 27% stake in Giordano in 1994 for fear that a derogatory comment he made in print about then-premier Li Peng would hurt the company in China and its proposed listing in Hong Kong (it did).
In the early days of Apple Daily, Lai said he was losing $60,000 a day and was prepared to spend $40 million before the paper turned a profit.

Chu says that what may seem to be an off-the-wall strategy is actually tried and true: "It's the same concept that worked at Giordano." He says Giordano carries only about 80 items and relies on volume.
Chu will not say what the entire start-up effort costs, or how much Lai is prepared to lose, but he does say adMart has 1,500 employees and a monthly payroll of nearly $6.5 million.
In one sense, it seems pure Jimmy Lai: challenging competitors to either advertise against adMart by using one of his publications, or risk missing out on potential customers by boycotting them.
