Hong Kong, Central, No. 1, Unava Road Central, Hong Kong, in the rotating restaurant on the top floor of the Fuli Hotel.

Shen Chong sat in the corner by the window, ignoring the beautiful night view of Victoria Harbor outside, but instead looked at the latest issue of the "Far East Economic Review".

After he acquired this magazine, he remained silent and never intervened. On the one hand, the quality of the magazine was indeed strong enough. On the other hand, he knew a lot about the future economy. Just a few words could make many people get rich overnight, but why bother... The world has changed a lot, and flapping its wings to fuel the fire will be unfavorable to the future. Besides, his acquisition of the Far East Economic Review was not to guide others to get rich, but to shake the market at critical moments.

The so-called "big words" are said less often, the more important they are at critical moments.

And now, there is a good starting point to hone this publication. In this issue of "Far East Economic Review", there is a large-scale special report, which is the myth of Jianing Group.

Chen Chong emerged like a comet last year and was called the "Shencao God of Wealth". However, his industries are mostly in the United States and are in Hong Kong. He has nothing to do except toys. So in terms of the hottest business tycoon in Hong Kong in 1979, he ranked third at most, with the top two. One is Li Ka-shing, who acquired Hutchison Whampoa and set the forefront of China's acquisition of British-funded Group, and the other is Chen Songqing of Jianing Group.

According to reports in the special topic, Chen Songqing originally worked as a civil engineer in Singapore. After going bankrupt locally, he came to Hong Kong in 1920 and was originally a real estate project manager. In 1975, he set up his own business and founded a real estate company. He bought a piece of land for 00,000 yuan. A year later, he sold it to the relevant Hong Kong government for 00,000 yuan, making a big profit, thus digging out his first pot of gold. At the end of 1977, he registered and established the Jianing Group Company and began to invest in different industries such as tourism, real estate, food, and hotels. By 1979, the assets of Jianing Group soared like a balloon, and made continuous big moves, becoming the focus of attention of the Hong Kong business community in the Hong Kong industry.

For example, in September 1979, Jianing Group launched eight duplex luxury residential villas in Stanley at one go, each selling priced at RU, which was more than twice the market price. It was sold out in just a few days, causing a sensation in the whole city. At that time, Aunt Liu was quite moved and went to Stanley to observe the villas and planned to invest. Finally, she hesitated for a while, but she still couldn't bear to leave the money, so she finally gave up.

In the month, Jianing Group purchased 16 villas on Qingshui Bay Road at one time at a price of PUU of more than HK$10,000, setting a record for the highest price of the property price of the batch.

Before the news was heated up, Jianing Group made a big move and acquired Jinghua Bank Building on Canafen Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. The transaction process was extremely exaggerated. The market price of this building was around 100 million yuan. The seller shareholders held a meeting to discuss whether it was a quotation of 400 million yuan or a quasi-in? When they were struggling, Jianing Group directly gave a sky-high price of UR 100 million yuan, which was more than 100 million yuan higher than the seller's psychological price.

This kind of courage to not use money as money, even the rich man Chen Chong, who traveled through time, felt ashamed of himself...

At the end of the year, Jianing Group made another big move. On the 31st of the month, it acquired shares of a listed company at a price of HKD U, with a total value of 47.8 billion, and became the controlling shareholder. The highest price per share of this company in the previous two years was only HKD 5.

The matter is not over. After New Year's Day, on 10th, Chen Qingsong took action again and acquired Kinmen Building from Land Group for HK$9.8 billion. This transaction is more shocking than acquiring Jinghua Bank Building. Kinmen Building is one of the landmark buildings in Hong Kong. Land Group acquired it from Jardine Mall a year ago, in 1978, the price was only 1.5 billion. In just one year, it made more than 100 million...

The successive big moves of Jianing Group and Chen Qingsong made Chen Chong’s legend start from scratch. In addition, after returning from Huangshan, he turned low-key and did not accept any visits from Hong Kong media. After October, he even traveled between the mainland and the United States. Therefore, the reports of Hong Kong’s commercial and economic media throughout the second half of the year were almost all concentrated on Chen Qingsong.

After reading the report full of praise, Chen Chong closed the magazine, rolled it up, gently tapped his palm, and thought about how to maximize the use of Jianing Group.

Jianing Group is a flower of evil produced by the Hong Kong real estate bubble in the early RU era. Everything about it is a castle built on the sand pile. It is a glamorous mirage. Two years later, the local bubble burst and when Jianing Group went bankrupt, the amount involved exceeded UU billion Hong Kong dollars. The government litigation expenses alone used up more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. It is known as the largest case in Hong Kong and is a classic case for future generations to study Hong Kong commercial activities.

One general has achieved success and thousands of bones are bleak. Chen Qingsong, who is now in a glorious place, is a perfect stepping stone. If Shen Chong can speak at a critical moment, expose the bubble of Jianing Group, and no one dares to ignore it if he speaks again in the future...

Just as I was thinking about it, a gentle voice sounded.

"Mr. Chen?"

Chen Chong looked up and saw a young woman with short hair, wearing a red dress and sunglasses standing in front of the table. He was stunned and then reacted, quickly stood up and apologized, "Miss Deng, I'm sorry, I'm thinking about something, but I didn't notice you coming.

"You changed your hairstyle and didn't recognize it at once." Chen Chong said, walking over and helping to pull the chair open, saying, "Please sit down."

"Thank you." Teresa Teng sat down and said with a smile: "My mother doesn't like the big waves I left in the United States, so when she returned to Taiwan, she cut them off. Mr. Chen has been here for a long time, right? He has made you wait for a long time."

"Where, I just arrived, too." Chen Chong put away the magazine and said, "I don't know exactly what you like to eat. I only heard that the scenery here is good, so I chose it."

"Mr. Chen has trouble." Teresa Teng took off her sunglasses, turned her head and looked at the night view outside the window, and said, "It's pretty good here."

Teresa Teng was twenty-six or seven years old at this time, at the age of flowers blooming. Her face was not beautiful, but her round apple face was very pleasing, and her gentle temperament was intoxicating.

Although I met in Los Angeles, Lily was present at that time, so the atmosphere was lively. Now that the two were alone, Chen Chong suddenly realized that he had nothing to talk about.

"That, Miss Deng." He coughed lightly and said in a panic: "Thank you for going to Boston in July to celebrate my uncle's birthday."

"It should be, Mr. Chen, don't thank me." Teresa Teng smiled and said, "Lily and I are good friends. Thanks to her care in Los Angeles, it is OK to celebrate our elders' birthdays."

At this time, the waiter came over and ordered the delicious food. After chatting for a few more words, Chen Chong found that Li Kaiyuan was right. Facing celebrities, he didn't know what topic to say, so it was better not to see him...

Teresa Teng's voice is sweet, his words are gentle, and his every move is very consistent with the standards of traditional Chinese ladies. However, Chen Chong felt that she had a unique temperament that would be kept from others thousands of miles away, which made people feel that she could only see from afar and not get close to her. It was exactly the opposite of Brigitte Lin - Brigitte Lin appeared heroic and had a strong aura, but after spending a period of time, it was very easy to talk to.

"By the way, Miss Deng." After the food was delivered, Chen Chong asked without saying a word: "When did you leave Los Angeles?"

"Mid December." Teresa Teng picked up the knife and fork gracefully and said, "Qingxia brought the letter from Director Song to me, saying that I could go home, so after staying with Qingxia in Los Angeles for two days, she returned to Taiwan.

“How does it feel to go home?”

"It's great, very comfortable, it's better to be at home." Teresa Teng smiled and looked at him, saying, "Mr. Chen is really a living person. He predicted early that I would return to Taiwan by the end of the year."

Chen Chong smiled and said, "You are just a loser in the authorities. In fact, this matter can easily see the result."

"Mr. Chen said it simply. I was shocked at that time. My parents were also indifferent." Teresa Teng remembered the past and her eyes were slightly red. After a while, she said: "Anyway, thank you Mr. Chen for his advice at that time. Otherwise, I really don't know how to survive those months."

"After the matter is over, don't think about it anymore." Chen Chong picked up the wine glass, touched her, took a sip, and said, "Director Song said you can go back. What conditions did you have?"

"It's exactly the same as what Mr. Shen said at the beginning." Teresa Teng looked at him with bright eyes and said, "During the Spring Festival, I went to the front line of Kinmen to hold a military concert to express condolences to the soldiers, and then the government will no longer pursue the passport incident."

Chen Chong nodded and said nothing. After a while, he spoke, "Miss Deng, your songs are very popular in the mainland now, do you know?"

"I heard some rumors, but the specific situation is not very clear."

"I was in the mainland last year and heard a folk song." Chen Chong cut the steak and said, "When you listen to Lao Deng's words during the day and Xiao Deng's songs at night, you are comparable to the national leaders and are the most popular singer in the mainland.

When Teresa Teng heard this, she looked at Chen Chong with a little at a loss and said nothing.

"Miss Deng, do you want to hold a concert in the mainland? One billion listeners and one billion applause. As a singer, is there anything more glorious than this?"

Teresa Teng was a little confused and asked, "Can I go to the mainland?"

"Of course not now." Chen Chongzhe took a small bite of steak and said, "In a few years, it may be possible. Mainland and Taiwan are both Chinese. It is not a way to fight. Sooner or later, there will be exchanges, business, navigation, and communications. What's wrong with going to a concert at that time?"

"But" Teresa Teng was born in a military family in the Kuomintang and could not make a turn and said, "But this is unlikely, right?"

"Things are done by man, there is no impossible." Chen Chong smiled, suddenly changed the topic, and said, "By the way, Miss Deng, I forgot to tell you something very unfortunate."

Teresa Teng opened her eyes wide and showed a very appropriate doubt.

"I have acquired Hong Kong Polykin and established a partnership with Japan Polykin." Chen Chong said with a smile: "In a sense, you are already my employee."

"Ah?" Teresa Teng shouted softly, she covered her lips with her hands and asked, "Really?"

Chen Chong nodded with a smile.

In 2019, Philips invented a compact tape for storing sound, but there were many formats of recording tapes at that time. Under the pressure of Sony's competition, Philips decided to release a license for the cassette format for free, and on the other hand, it had the idea of ​​vertical integration. Through acquisition, it established a music record company to open up the industrial chain and promote its own technical standards.

This music record company is the famous Polykin. It has branches all over the world. Before being acquired by Universal in 1999, it was the oldest, most famous and largest record company in the world.

Polyglin (Hong Kong) was well-known for RU later, and was a music brand that was on par with Rolling Stones. Since Chen Chong tinkered with Rolling Stones, he naturally would not let it go.

PolyGin’s Hong Kong branch was established in 1975. It was not large at this time and there were less than ten singers signed, but they were all elites. In addition to Teresa Teng, there were also Alan Tam, Xu Guanjie, Leslie Cheung, and Teddy Robin.

As a Dutch company, Philips' base camp is naturally Europe, and the Hong Kong market is small. At the same time, Cantonese pop music has not yet taken shape and has limited profitability, so it is not taken seriously. It is not difficult to acquire it. Shen Chong originally planned to get Japan's Polyglin, but Japan, as the world's second largest economy, has strong consumption capacity and is Sony's base camp, so Philips is reluctant to let go.

However, this is irrelevant. Because of the "fake passport" incident, Teresa Teng was officially expelled, her reputation was greatly hit, and she was unable to enter Japan's territory. Her contract with Japan Polyglin was basically a piece of waste paper.

"Miss Deng." Chen Chong put down the tableware and said, "As the boss, can I give you a suggestion?

"Mr. Chen, please speak."

"If you want to go further in your career and become a world-class singer," Chen Chong said seriously. "I suggest you stay away from political activities. If it is really unavoidable, please try to downplay conflicts and use soft words."

"Mr. Chen means?"

"For example, this time, the army was working." Chen Chong pulled the corner of his mouth, showed a sarcastic smile, and then said: "It is impossible to avoid the exchange conditions for your return to Taiwan, but when you go to Kinmen, you can sing and dance, but it is best not to say some offensive or ideological words, such as counterattack on the mainland, the Three Principles of the People, etc. After all, there are compatriots between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, so why fight and kill? Peace and exchange are the direction of development."

Seeing Teresa Teng confused, Chen Chong said again: "I am a businessman, you are a singer, everyone is a small role, just earning some hard money to live, why bother with politics? That is what the bureaucrats who receive the country's money and food should do.

"But Mr. Chen, in the military camp, he must say something to encourage morale."
