"This is my husband, Gu Zhiming." Huang Yingying introduced gracefully in an exquisite dress: "Aming, this is Mr. Chen Chong, who you admire very much."

"Mr. Chen, I'm lucky to meet you."

"Hello, Mr. Gu." Chen Chong shook hands with him enthusiastically, and then greeted: "Please sit down, two."

Gu Zhiming pulled the chair away very gentlemanly. After Huang Yingying sat down, she sat down opposite Shen Chong and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm so embarrassed that I actually asked you to treat you. You come to Singapore and are a guest. It's appropriate for me and Tr to invite you."

"Same, the same." Chen Chong said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu was a tour guide for me today, and I wasted a lot of time. It is my duty to treat you and express my gratitude."

After last night's speech, Huang Yingying turned against her initial indifference and became much more enthusiastic. Today, she accompanied Chen Chong to visit Nanyang Business Daily and Singapore TV. She has lived in Singapore for many years and works on the TV station. She is familiar with the media environment here and has introduced it in detail, which allows Chen Chong to learn a lot.

Singapore's TV industry developed very late. TV channels were opened at the end of 2019, and it was only changed to color signals in 1974. The government's control was very strict. Except for the Singapore Broadcasting Bureau, no other institutions or individuals are allowed to operate TV business. Therefore, Singapore citizens can only watch two channels in total, one in Chinese Channel 8 and one in English Channel 5. The TV station is very small, the content of the program is monotonous, and there is no ability to produce TV series. They can only do some simple variety shows.

It is worthy of being the developed country with the lowest level of press freedom in the world...

After a day of visit, Shen Chong basically gave up his attempt to intervene in the Singapore media business, because according to the latest revised publishing law, shares of Singapore newspapers cannot be resold to non-Singapore people, and even Singaporean citizens are not allowed to own a newspaper more than shares.

What's even more troublesome is that Lee Kuan Yew is different from ordinary national leaders. He likes to sue the media very much. For example, he sued the Nanyang Commercial Daily for slander in 2019, and then won the case, which caused the reputation and sales of the Nanyang Commercial Daily to plummet. In later generations, he also sued more than 20 world-class media such as the New York Times, the Economist, and the Wall Street Journal, and all won the case. Such lawsuits will have great negative impacts. European and American media such as the New York Times are far away from the ocean and can be ignored. If the sunken base camp is in Hong Kong, it will be very troublesome. If it is a big deal for Singapore's sesame market, it will be a loss no matter how you make it.

The same is true for TV stations. The state monopoly and all programs need to be reviewed. In this environment, Chen Chong thinks it is better to change the way - we don’t want your market anymore. As long as you have talents, Singapore has a population of millions. Even if you choose one in a million, you can find 100 good people.

So he once again used the ancient road's warm-hearted magic weapon and signed an agreement on talent exchange and training with the Singapore Radio Bureau. Singapore TV station can send people to Hong Kong, and Oriental Charm helps with training丨Anyway, with Singapore's barren cultural environment, talents with pursuit will definitely not be retained.

"Mr. Gu, your surname is very special." After halfway through dinner, Chen Chong found a topic and asked: "I know that there was a talented man named Gu Hongming in the late Qing Dynasty. Do you belong to the same family?"

"It is indeed the same family." Chinese people in the Nanyang area attach great importance to clan concepts. Although Gu Zhiming was young, he knew the origin of the family very well. He nodded and said, "Our family's eighth-generation ancestor moved from Quanzhou to Malaysia during the Jiaqing period. Later, they grew up. Some went to Taiwan and some returned to the mainland. Our group has been staying in Singapore. In short, Gu Hongming and my grandfather are cousins."

"Oh?" Chen Chong asked with interest: "I know there are five major families in Taiwan, the Gu family in Lugang, and you should be relatives, right?"

"Yes, but we have already released the fifth squad, and we are considered distant relatives." Gu Zhiming said with a smile: "Mr. Gu Zhenfu from Lugang is Gu Hongming's nephew, and the two families are closer."

Koo Zhenfu, the head of the Gu family, a Taiwanese business leader, and one of the protagonists of the Wang Gu talks.

The Gu family is the best family in Taiwan that handles political and business relations. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Japanese colonization, to the Kuomintang’s entry into Taiwan, after many twists and turns, they have never stood firm. Instead, their business has become bigger and bigger, and they have been involved in finance, construction, plastic and other fields.

I watched a NHA online in my previous life, and it seemed that it belonged to the Gu family. I wonder if they are interested in doing TV business now?

Chen Chong entered the state of God's existence outside the sky again - there is no way, because of the advantage of information asymmetry, for time travelers, at any time, place, person, any sentence, or any small thing, you may do something big.

For example, when you wake up in the morning and see the wardrobe, you will think of the unknown IKEA at this time. When you wear clothes, you will think of the famous Versace at this time. When you wear watches, you will think of the famous Swiss watches at this time. When you wear shoes, you will think of the unworthy Nike at this time. When you shaved, you will think of the troubled Gillette at this time...

"Mr. Chen?"

"Sorry, I have a very bad habit. My mind is always floating. I don't know where the person is if I am not careful." Chen Chong came back to his senses, first apologized, and then asked: "Does Mr. Gu still have contacts with the Gu family in Taiwan?"

"There are, but not much, everyone is very busy with work, and it takes four or five hours to fly from Singapore to Taiwan, which is a bit far away."

"Amin." Huang Yingying was very sensitive, and she said in a flash: "I remember you didn't go to Lugang two years ago?"

"That time was to celebrate the birthday. Mr. Koo Zhenfu's birthday, so we juniors, of course we have to go there." Gu Zhiming was reminded by Huang Yingying and reacted, saying, "If Mr. Chen and Mr. Koo Zhenfu have business to negotiate, I might be able to help me."

"I just suddenly had an idea, but I'm not sure. If necessary, I'll ask Mr. Gu for help." Chen Chong didn't say anything, he picked up the wine glass and smiled and said to Huang Yingying: "I'm just chatting with Mr. Gu, neglecting Mrs. Gu. Sorry, please."

"Mr. Chen should call me Tr, call me Mrs. Gu, and I feel like people are getting older." Huang Yingying held up her wine glass, took a sip, and then said with a clever smile: "Mr. Chen, 11 and I are good friends. You wrote her a very wonderful and nice song. Can you write me a song too?"

"Tr Zu, you are the money cow of PN1 Eighteen Records." Chen Chong shook his head and said, "We are competitors. If you write a song for you, the managers of several record companies below Oriental Charm will rebel."

"What if I change jobs to Oriental Charm?"

"Welcome, warm welcome." Chen Chong laughed and said, "Polygold, Rolling Stone, UFO, you can choose, and you will never neglect it."
