Chien Chia Hong, the Taiwanese businessman who was going to see the President in Olivos while the strict quarantine was in force throughout the country, obtained

three contracts with the Argentine Army for more than 6 million pesos.

Two of those contracts come from tenders that he won precisely in 2020, when the businessman, partner of the model and presidential adviser Sofía Pacchi, stayed for several hours, even until dawn, in the presidential villa on the Olivos farm.

At that time, only essential workers could leave their homes.

In some of those encounters, Hong was left alone, even after his advisory partner left the scene.

For example, on April 2, 2020, the guests who arrived in Olivos around ten o'clock at night left at 0.11.

But Hong stayed

until 2.58

.

That night Alberto Fernández's birthday was celebrated.

The detail is

suggestive

: although Hong has other businesses with the national and provincial public administration and with municipalities, these three contracts in particular are with an institution that depends directly on the Executive Power:

the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces is the President.

According to

official sources

confirmed to

Clarín

, the bids won by the

Apache Solutions

company

-owned by Hong- during the same year in which he met with the President were for the acquisition by the Argentine Army

of security cameras

and for the purchase of inputs for the maintenance of

satellite terminals

. The first was for

1 million pesos

. The second, for

1.9 million

.

The third current contract that Hong's company has with the Army corresponds to a tender it won this year for the

"acquisition of computer and communications materials

.

"

There would be encrypted communication equipment destined for the intelligence area of ​​the force.

This third contract is for an amount of

3.2 million pesos

.

Chien Chia Hong, between Alberto Fernández and the advisor Sofía Pacchi.

Hong registered his company as a state supplier only in 2018. The businessman went to Alberto Fernández's inauguration party in December 2019 and since then his businesses have flourished.

In the sector of suppliers, manufacturers and importers of high-tech security equipment they

do not know it

.

"We found out about his existence because of this media issue. We had not heard of him, nor did he compete against us in any tender for the sector,"

one of the businessmen who work as suppliers of the Argentine state in security and surveillance equipment

told

Clarín

.

Chien Chia Hong gained notoriety after the dissemination of the photos in which he is seen with his partner Pacchi, the first lady Fabiola Yañez and President Alberto Fernández, both at the inauguration ceremony on December 10, 2019 and at the party of last year's presidential birthday.

They were also on the First Lady's birthday.
