The time has come to February 20, 1985, today is the first day of the New Year, the children in the Chinese New Year's Eve after the fun to play, at this time is still immersed in sleep, although Chen Lang also kept vigil with his family last night, waiting for the New Year's bell, but at this time still got up on time at six o'clock to adhere to his usual exercise.

When Chen Lang came back from workout, Chen's mother and Chen's father also made breakfast, "Call your sister up and eat." ”

"It's rare to sleep lazily during the New Year's holiday, and wait for her to wake up naturally." Chen Lang sat directly at the dining table, "Sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until your hands cramp, this is the greatest pursuit of life." ”

"Stinky boy, then you don't have a pursuit now." Mother Chen smiled when she heard this, nodded Chen Lang's forehead, and entered the kitchen again.

"That's someone else's pursuit, not mine." Chen Lang smiled and muttered, "Dad, how's the situation in Southeast Asia?" ”

"Lang Lang Qiankun has now opened up the situation, Hu Meng is in charge of gradually rolling out to the second-tier cities, and the progress is relatively smooth, but after the record company poached a few powerful singers, it was sniped by Polygram, Warner and EMI, but we have gained a firm foothold in Southeast Asia, although it is impossible to poach people again, but it is enough for us to deal with these international giant companies."

"The three major record companies teamed up to snipe? This really gives us face. Chen Lang smiled when he heard this, "It seems that Golden Records has been decided to be closed, and I have asked Chen Shufen to contact the six major record stores in Hong Kong and Kowloon to dismantle the house." ”

"Why contact them?" Father Chen was a little strange when he heard this.

"The Hong Kong Golden Disc Awards Ceremony is over, so let's have a bigger Golden Disc Awards Ceremony." Chen Lang said with a smile.

"Bigger awards ceremony? What do you mean? Could it be ......" Chen's father was puzzled when he heard this, and then looked at his son in surprise.

"That's right, I want to hold a golden record music festival in Asia, but this has just started, Hong Kong and Taiwan are the first step, the second step is Southeast Asia, and I hope to include Japan and South Korea in the future, but these are still early, and now Hong Kong and Taiwan have begun to prepare, and when Hong Kong and Taiwan are ready, it will be Southeast Asia."

"I'm afraid it will take some time in Southeast Asia, but fortunately, there is a time buffer, but it may not be so easy to hold a music festival that attracts attention and affirmation from all over Asia." Father Chen said slowly.

"This is indeed very difficult, if you want to get everyone's attention and recognition, you must first have enough strength, in Taiwan, Haishan Rolling Stone has become one of the three major records, the qualifications are enough, Hong Kong's LL record company has also reached the first-class rank, Southeast Asia still needs to continue to work hard.

We also had to maintain good relations with the TV stations in all three places, and if we were to get noticed across Asia, we had to have a music magazine that had enough influence to be the organiser of the festival, and we had to do it step by step. ”

"It sounds like a big plan and it takes a lot of time to prepare, so it looks like I'm going to have to do more." Chen's father knew that this was not a simple matter, but seeing the bright light in his son's eyes, there was no need to say anything.

"I just revealed a little bit about this matter to Sister Chen and Mr. Zheng, the whole plan has not been fully said, and we need to think about it together in the long run, and now we have only one focus on our work." Chen Lang said.

"How's your preparation? This is an acquisition plan involving 200 million yuan, so we have to be cautious. Mother Chen said.

The current Chen's mother is no longer the nurse who used to get a salary of more than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, and now even hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars have become the same as the previous dozens of yuan, but what Chen Lang is about to acquire is a shocking acquisition that costs 200 million, and Chen's mother is actually very worried.

Although the movie is also very profitable, can the investment of 200 million really be recovered? In the past, Chen's mother felt that she was not a person who took money very seriously, but the flow of funds of more than 100 million yuan still made Chen's mother feel uneasy.

But seeing the ambition in her son's eyes, Chen's mother felt very proud and should support her outstanding son, so now Chen's mother really doesn't know whether she wants her son's acquisition to succeed or fail.

"The opponent is very strong, and there is no perfect plan at all, so I can only do my best." Chen Lang shook his head with a smile when he heard this.

"And when are you going to start the acquisition?" Father Chen asked.

"In fact, as early as last year, we have been in contact with Shaw Brothers, and I believe that the same is true for the famous brand king, but if you want to really start the acquisition, you have to be officially listed by Shaw Brothers, according to Fang Yihua's news, it should be in the period after the year."

"The news revealed by Fang Yihua?" Mother Chen was surprised when she heard this, "She seems to be the person in charge of the Shaw Brothers, right?" ”

"Yes, LL Film Company and Shaw Brothers have cooperated for a long time, and the cooperation is very pleasant, plus Shaw Brothers needs a rival to bid with Pan Dickson, so they will disclose the news to me, but it is not confidential information, and there is no advantage." Chen Lang said helplessly.

Giving up 10% of the profits, now that I think about it, it's really not worth it, Shaw Brothers originally needed an opponent to compete with Pan Disheng, he could be said to be a third party that Shaw Brothers urgently needed, but his own experience was too shallow, and he was eaten to death by Fang Yihua, it was really sad to think about it.

"No matter how good the cooperative relationship is, it is not my own person, even if it involves interests between relatives, it will turn face, not to mention that it involves a huge acquisition of 200 million, and it is good to have news." Chen's mother said.

"Hmm." Chen Lang didn't tell Chen's mother about his private agreement with Fang Yihua, and now he doesn't want to lose face.

Chen's father had heard of this secret agreement, but seeing his son's depressed expression, he changed the topic with a smile, "Lang Lang, have you asked your friends in Taiwan about Meiya?" ”

When Chen Lang heard this, he remembered that he seemed to want to invest in the audio and video tape market, "I forgot, just ask now." ”

"Hey, is it Mr. Zheng?" Chen Lang said hello.

"Happy New Year, Lang Lang!" Mr. Zheng spoke with a hearty laugh.

"Happy New Year!" Chen Lang hurriedly replied, "In addition to giving you New Year's greetings today, I also want to ask you a question." ”

"Oh? Tell me something. Zheng Zhenkun wondered.

"Have you ever heard of Li Guoxing from Meiya?" Chen Lang asked.

"Meiya? Li Guoxing? Zheng Zhenkun was stunned when he heard this, "Lang Lang, you don't want to invest in the video market, do you?" ”

"You guessed it, now Hong Kong movies are becoming more and more popular, and the corresponding peripherals have become tighter, I found that although Hong Kong also makes videotapes, but they have not formed a scale, so I decided to get involved in the video tape market, but in the process of acquisition, I met this Li Guoxing, who seems to have something to do with Taiwanese associations, so I want to ask you for advice." Chen Lang explained.

"I've heard of this Li Guoxing, he is indeed related to Taiwanese associations, and it should be the Bamboo Union Gang behind him." Zheng Zhenkun said in a low voice, "But if Lang Lang wants to enter the video tape market, you can cooperate with Li Guoxing." ”

"Cooperation? Are these rules for designing Taiwanese associations? Chen Lang frowned when he heard this, "I'm worried that it will be affected." ”

"Li Guoxing is indeed related to the Bamboo Union Gang, yes, now he is probably in a hurry to clear up this relationship." Zheng Zhenkun shook his head and said, but he sighed in his heart, Chen Lang is a person with great luck, otherwise how could things be so coincidental.

"Why did he want to leave the Bamboo Union Gang?" Chen Lang said curiously.

"Because of last year's Jiangnan case, didn't Hong Kong report it?" Zheng Zhenkun said.

Chen Lang was shocked when he heard this, Jiangnan case! This big case has already happened, and it was last year? I'm too insensitive to this.

In August 1984, Chen Qili, the boss of the Bamboo Union Gang, led two Bamboo Union Gang killers, Wu Dun and Dong Guisen, to the United States to carry out the "plan" of "hoeing and raping", and on October 10, the three found Liu Yiliang and followed him. At nine o'clock in the morning of October 15, when Liu Yiliang had finished breakfast at the nearby Pacific Ocean residence and went downstairs to prepare to drive out to the gift shop at Fisherman's Wharf, Dong Guisen, who had been ambushed in advance (Dong was arrested in Brazil, extradited to the United States, and died in a brawl in prison) and others, shot Liu Yiliang between the eyebrows with a revolver, he fell to the ground on the spot, and fired two more shots at his chest and abdomen.

Liu Yiliang, who was killed, was a Chinese-American writer with a pen name Jiang Nan, and was an intelligence commissioner sent to the United States by the Taiwan authorities, but he was also an informant for the FBI and a three-sided agent.

The cause of the incident was that Liu Yiliang wrote "The Biography of Chiang Ching-kuo" under the pseudonym of Jiangnan during his stay in the United States, which was serialized in the "Tribune" in Los Angeles, and because of the content of the factional struggle between the Chiang family and the Kuomintang, it was considered by the Kuomintang authorities to be suspected of exposing the privacy of the Chiang family and regarded it as an insult to the Führer.

According to rumors, in July 1984, Wang Xiling, the then director of the Kuomintang intelligence system, was introduced to Chen Qili, the leader of the Bamboo Union Gang, and sent the Bamboo Union Gang to San Francisco, California, Derry, to assassinate Liu Yiliang.

After the inside story was exposed, the United States was furious, because foreign intelligence agencies openly sent assassins to the United States to assassinate American citizens, causing Taiwan-US relations to fall to the bottom. The US side quickly found out the contents of Chen Qili's telephone call back to Taiwan through the telephone recordings intercepted by Taiwan's intelligence units, and revealed to the press that it had obtained a tape recorded by Chen Qili as a precautionary measure, confirming that intelligence personnel of the Kuomintang government had intervened in the case and exerted strong pressure on the Taiwan authorities to hand over the culprits behind the scenes.

On 10 January 1985, Chiang Ching-kuo ordered the arrest of Wang Xiling, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Hu Yimin, deputy director of the Third Division, and Chen Humen, and at the same time demanded a thorough investigation.

Chiang Ching-kuo's fourth son, Jiang Xiaowu, was also deeply involved in the intelligence system, and it was believed that Chiang Hsiao-wu might be the mastermind, but there was no definite evidence, and the Jiangnan case was postponed for a period of time, and Chiang Hsiao-wu was sent to Singapore in March 1986 as a deputy commercial representative, and stayed in the overseas unit for a long time, and did not return to the "central" department of the Taiwan authorities during Chiang Ching-kuo's tenure, and since then he has left Taiwan's core decision-making circle.

Now that Chen Qili, Wu Dun and other bigwigs of the Bamboo Union Gang have been arrested and imprisoned, and the Bamboo Union Gang has also been severely cracked down on by the Taiwan authorities, Li Guoxing, who is related to it, naturally wants to dissociate himself from it, and it is best to cut off the contact and use the black money provided by the Bamboo Union Gang to change his face into a serious businessman, so Chen Lang has great hopes for cooperating with him.
