" Fung is the god father to one of Li Kai Shings son's,"

Paul Martin is godfather to one of Fung's sons

Corrected this many times also Li Ka-Shing is not involve with Citic never has and I doubt he even is aware of Fung, you tend to hype Fung up he is small times dude, you need to get your facts correct for once

Another nexus for the Lis' relationships in Canada is Robert Fung, a Toronto financier who was Richard Li's mentor at the aggressive Toronto merchant bank Gordon Capital in the late 1980s. During Richard's two-year apprenticeship, Fung exposed him to the investment business and fishing trips in Northern Canada. He was no ordinary apprentice, of course: Richard, remembered on the Street principally as a playboy, later returned as Gordon's largest shareholder. The Lis sold the faltering investment banker to HSBC in 1998, which shut it down in 2002.

The Gordon flop aside, Fung's famed "gold-plated Rolodex" connected the Lis to names like Paul Martin and Jean Chrétien. Fung and Martin were roommates at the University of Toronto; Martin is godfather to one of Fung's sons. When Chrétien bowed out of politics in 1986, Fung ushered him into an advisory position at Gordon Capital. Chrétien later returned the favour by taking one of Fung's sons to Ottawa as a junior staffer.
