"Thou hast said unto me that thou hast loved me forever;

I understand this thing of love,

But what will always be?

Girl, don't cry, we're still together;

Today's joy,

It will be an eternal memory for tomorrow

……”

The singing of "Love Song 1980" is wafting in the air, this is the second song in Luo Dayou's first album "Zhihu Ye", the first song is "Lukang Town" written by Luo Dayou two years ago.

Because of Wang Zijun's involvement, Rolling Stone Records was established ahead of schedule, and Luo Dayou also joined Rolling Stone in advance. However, after entering the record company, Luo Dayou has been working behind the scenes, helping other singers write songs and make records.

It wasn't until a month ago that Rolling Stone Records finally released Luo Dayou's first album.

As soon as "Zhihu Ye" came out, the ultra-high-quality song works, and with the help of Haishan Records' distribution network, the sales of Luo Dayou's album were even more terrifying than those in parallel space, and in a month, it had already sold three platinum sales.

During this period of time, Luo Dayou's popularity even overshadowed Taiwan's super idol singer Liu Wenzheng, and a song "Lukang Town" was once again sung throughout the treasure island. In just one month, at least five or six new restaurants, hotels and karaoke parlors have been added in Taipei, called "Lukang Town".

In Wang Zijun's view, the reason why Luo Dayou's record is so popular is not only the music itself, but also the fact that he dares to break into the forbidden area of the authorities.

The whole record of "Zhihu Ye" is full of reflection and introspection, public introspection and political introspection, and the song "Lukang Town" directly questions and ponders Taiwan's urbanization and industrialization.

In other words, Luo Dayou sang what many people wanted to say but didn't dare to say, and it was strange that he was not popular.

Integrating the depth of thought into music, Luo Dayou's songs reminded Taiwanese music lovers of Wang Zijun at the beginning, and a music magazine even directly called Luo Dayou "Wang Zijun second".

In recent years, Wang Zijun has released fewer and fewer new songs, and last year there was a peach scandal, and as soon as Luo Dayou came out, many people regarded him as Wang Zijun's successor.

On the [***] square of Meiyuan, the temporary stage was surrounded by layers, and after Luo Dayou sang the song "Love Song 1980", the audience immediately erupted in a call for him to sing "Lukang Town".

"I'm sorry, it's time for the show, thank you for your love and support." Luo Dayou smiled and bowed and exited the stage. Although he has a surname, he still knows how to do things. This is the inauguration celebration of the plum garden, and singing a reactionary song like "Lukang Town" has a bad impact when it is spread.

In the crowd, two boys with guitars on their backs watched Luo Dayou step down with admiring eyes.

One of these two boys was the famous Zhou Huajian, and the other was Zhou Huajian's bosom friend Lin Jinyue in the Department of Mathematics of National Taiwan University.

After Luo Dayou went down, it was Qi Qin who sang on stage, a famous song "Wolf", which also attracted bursts of applause from the scene. However, when Zhou Huajian and Lin Jinyue listened to Qi Qin's singing, they lost their enthusiasm just now.

This is the difference, Qi Qin has been popular more than a year before Luo Dayou, but in Zhou Huajian's eyes, he is just a good singer, and as soon as Luo Dayou debuted, he immediately had the taste of a pioneer and mentor.

The reason why Zhou Huajian and Lin Jinyue came back to the Plum Garden to watch the ceremony and celebration today was completely to listen to Luo Dayou sing. It's a pity that the front is occupied by employees of Wang's Group, and passers-by like Zhou Huajian can only stand far away to watch.

Today's Section 5 of Xinyi Road, the later Taipei 101 Building, and some surrounding land, as well as the World Trade Center Exhibition Hall 3 in the north, have all been enclosed in the Plum Garden.

At that time, Wang Zijun even wanted to use part of the land for the construction of the exhibition center in New York, but in the end he did not get the approval of the management department.

The authorities have a construction plan, and Wang Zijun has made such a large piece of land at once, which is already the limit of what money can reach.

The entire plum garden is surrounded by a wall, and the lodging area is so walled that you can't see the view from the street outside. However, the office building and the square in front of the building are only surrounded by some European-style wrought-iron fences. The square is open to the public during the day and is only closed at night.

By the time Qi Qin finished singing, the celebration performance was almost underway, and it was about to be lunch.

Lin Jinyue sighed: "It would be nice if Wang Zijun could sing a song on stage." ”

"People's identities are different." Zhou Huajian said with a smile, "I heard that no one in Taiwan can invite him now, and he didn't even attend last year's Double Tenth Festival celebration." ”

Lin Jinyue helped Wang Zijun defend himself: "Where is he not wanting to participate?" It was because of the scandal that the authorities were afraid of provoking the fishy smell on him. To be honest, I envy his good fortune. ”

"Wife, it's good to have one, what's there to envy?" Zhou Huajian was troubled when he mentioned this. His first girlfriend was made in Hong Kong, a few years ago he came to Taiwan to study, and his girlfriend went to Canada to study, and now he can only talk on the phone every long time, and he is arguing when he talks on the phone.

"Also, how can ordinary people like us compare with Wang Zijun? Let's go, let's eat! Lin Jinyue put his arm on Zhou Huajian's shoulder, tilted his neck and stared at the 36-story [***] building for a while, and then the two walked out of the square together.

The celebration performance has ended, and the employees under the stage went to experience the group's new canteen together, and some passers-by and spectators were curious to visit the plum garden.

A total of 432 plum trees were transplanted in the plum garden, and a senior feng shui master was asked to use these plum trees to make some formations, as for whether there was a formation or not, only the ghost knows.

It's not yet the plum blossom season, and the plum trees have only been transplanted for a short time, so these plum trees are bare and not looking good at all.

It was almost one o'clock when a car drove in through the gate outside the [***] square, a star who had come back in a special way, and they needed to pretend to "work" at the headquarters and then be inspected by the president.

"Wow, Cheng Long, Chow Yun-fat, Hu Yinmeng, Zhang Aijia, Hu Huizhong, Qin Xianglin, Xu Bu...... There are so many big stars. Outside the newly built studio in Meiyuan, a small actor watched many big names pass by, let out bursts of exclamation, and said to Carina Lau beside him, "Ah Ling, when do you think we will be as popular as them?" ”

"If you shoot more, you'll be popular." Carina Lau said. She has been in Taipei for more than half a year, and she signed into Wang's Pictures as a Hong Kong actor, and has filmed more than ten films, but they are all supporting roles. In addition, Carina Lau's acting skills are not very good now, so she has not become popular at all.

The little actor who talked to Carina Lau was called Liu Xuehua, who was also an actor from Hong Kong. She joined the Hong Kong Great Wall Film Company four years ago and has filmed several films. However, the current Hong Kong is no longer Xia Meng's era, the Great Wall Film Company has long been in decline, and there are no good works at all.

After going through some twists and turns, Liu Xuehua inexplicably went to Taipei to enter Wang's Pictures, and met Carina Lau during a filming, and the two actors who are also from "Hong Kong" have become good sisters.

"Ah Ling, look, isn't that Guan Zhilin? She also entered the Wang family? Liu Xuehua pointed to Guan Zhilin, who had just gotten out of the car and was dressed fashionably.

Carina Lau said: "She is an actor of Hong Kong Jiashi." Jiashi and Wang's are both bosses, and it is normal to change gears. ”

"I heard that Guan Zhilin has a good relationship with the boss, if only she helped introduce us." Liu Xuehua said longingly.

"yes." Carina Lau agreed, but smiled secretly in her heart: Do I need her recommendation? The boss is my brother, and I have to rely on my own efforts to become famous, so that I will not be looked down upon by others.

The two young actors were talking there, and Wang Zijun took Lin Qingxia, Bai Muyang and others, as well as a bunch of newspaper reporters, and waited until four o'clock in the afternoon in the [***] building, and Jiang Jingguo had not yet appeared.

"It's a little wrong." Bai Muyang whispered, "Why didn't the president's security guards come to do security work in advance?" ”

"Probably not coming." Wang Zijun guessed.

It was not until five o'clock that he received a call from Chiang Ching-kuo's attendants, saying that the presidential inspection date had been temporarily cancelled.

Wang Zijun, who had been fooled and waited for a long time, was so angry that he wanted to scold, but finally endured it, and beckoned everyone to go back to their posts with a smile, what should they do.

The reporters were also entertained by the good students, and left the building with the carriage fare and small gifts.

"What's going on?" As soon as the reporters left, the more Wang Zijun thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem.

"I don't know." Bai Muyang said.

Wang Zijun waved his hand and asked Bai Muyang to do his own work, and he went back to the office on the top floor of the building by himself, ready to ask Jiang Xiaoyong to come out to find out.

As soon as the phone was picked up, Wang Zijun put it down again, took out the phone book from his bag, found Ma Ying-jeou's phone number and dialed it.

Ma Ying-jeou and Wang Zijun are old friends who participated in the fishing sport together ten years ago, and they also slept together on the floor for a night, and later occasionally made some contact.

Now that Ma Ying-jeou is Chiang Ching-kuo's English translator, it would be safer to probe the situation with him first.

Jiang Xiaoyong, Wang Zijun has always been unstable, and he can't figure out what kind of person he is. Sometimes he is extremely shrewd, sometimes he does something that looks stupid, and he has a great appetite, Wang Zijun has to bleed profusely every time he asks him to do something, often millions of Taiwan dollars.

Therefore, Wang Zijun tries not to look for Jiang Xiaoyong when he has something to do now.

"Hey, hello." The phone rang, and a man with the surname Ci whispered inside.

"Hello Brother Ma, the little brother is Wang Zijun." Wang Zijun said with a smile.

"It's Zijun," Ma Ying-jeou said in a higher voice, "It's been a long time since I saw ......."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Wang Zijun got to the point: "The president said that he was going to visit Wang's Film Group today, and he suddenly canceled the trip for some reason......

"I'll help you ask." Ma Ying-jeou politely agreed to help.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zijun stayed there while reading a book and waited for a reply. After more than half an hour, Ma Ying-jeou finally called back, lowered his voice and said, "Zijun, things seem to be a little troublesome. I heard that the president canceled his trip because I heard a piece of news. ”

"What's the news?" Wang Zijun asked.

"Audrey. Did Ms. Hepburn go to the mainland to do charity? Ma Ying-jeou asked.

"yes, is there a problem?" Wang Zijun said.

"Big problem!" Ma Ying-jeou said, "The China Hope Foundation is yours, Audrey. Mrs. Hepburn has a close relationship with you. Did you say there was a problem? This is a gangster! Why are you so confused. ”

"Gangsters?" Wang Zijun heard this with a cold vest. He has always felt that now that the political situation of the Taiwan authorities is slowly opening up, even Luo Dayou's "Lukang Town" can be released, and there should be no problem in going to the mainland to engage in education and charity. Because the China Hope Foundation is nominally Audrey. Hepburn's, and based in Hong Kong, plus Audrey. Hepburn was European and could be completely dismissed.

Ma Ying-jeou admonished: "Zijun, quickly cut off the tail." Don't forget Chen Wencheng, who was interviewed last year. ”

"Thank you, Brother Ma." Wang Zijun hung up the phone, his mind turned around, and he let go of his worries.

Who is Chen Wencheng in Ma Ying-jeou's mouth? Just a Chinese-American professor. Because he had funded the magazine "Beautiful Island", he was interviewed by the "police chief" when he returned to Taiwan to visit relatives last year, and his body was next to the graduate library of National Taiwan University, and his death was unknown.

If Chiang Ching-kuo wants to find trouble for himself, I am afraid that the police general has already "interviewed" him Wang Zijun, and he has not come yet, indicating that his life is not in danger.

After all, that Chen Wencheng is just a Chinese-American professor, and he Wang Zijun still has a large industry in Taiwan, and he has a certain reputation in the East and the West, so they don't dare to start.

After communicating this, Wang Zijun immediately called Hong Kong and asked them to sever relations with the Taiwan branch of the Hope Foundation and remove themselves from the foundation. Then he called the head of the Taiwan branch and asked them to immediately apply to the authorities to change the name of the Taiwan branch to the Republic of China Hope Foundation.

In the end, Wang Zijun still dialed Jiang Xiaoyong's phone, and he still had to ask the third son for help at a critical time.

After some actions, Wang Zijun can be regarded as showing his heart, at least Jiang Xiaoyong received his money very painfully, which is enough to prove that the authorities did not mean to take the knife on him.

After another week, nothing happened, and Wang Zijun was completely relieved.

However, the plum garden and the [***] building have become something that Taiwanese people talk about, the only skyscraper in Taiwan. After people from the central and southern parts of Taipei come to Taipei, they will deliberately go to Xinyi Road to see the 186-meter-tall building, and even go to the sculpture in [***] Square to take a group photo, as if this place is a scenic spot.

However, the bad luck of "China Times" then scared Wang Zijun into a cold sweat. On 5 November, the ultra-right journal Longqi, which had the military special system as its background and Wang Sheng's instructions, published an editorial attacking the China Times as a newspaper bully and stepping on the Kuomintang, outside the party, and Taiwan. The "five-legged monster" of independence, [***] and liberalism.

However, the "China Times" is not a vegetarian, and immediately hit back, defending itself while saying that "Dragon Flag" is wantonly slanderous. The two publications fought together at once, and the fight was inseparable, and in the end, it was estimated that it was the words from above that finally stopped.

Well, it's better to make money with peace of mind, Wang Zijun thinks that he can't compare to the influence of "China Times".

As for the development of the mainland, we can only wait obediently for another four or five years.

Audrey. Hepburn was also called back from the mainland by Wang Zijun, and when he transferred to Hong Kong and entered Taiwan, he was not subjected to any difficulties.
