Chapter 564 High-end Business War


    Another night of bad gambling.


    Gao Lingfeng was proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. The most exaggerated time was when he lost 7 million in one night.


    I don''t know what time it was. He was sleeping at home and was woken up by a knock on the door. He didn''t want to pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, the sound got louder and louder, and someone was yelling. He had to hold back his breath and get up to open the door.


    "Which G..."


    It stopped suddenly, and he swallowed back a bunch of swear words. He looked at several guys in uniforms with confused faces, and had no idea what was going on.


    …


    In the early 1980s, the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scenes were relatively separate and did not pay much attention to each other.


    Taiwan''s music is booming, a large number of creative talents are emerging, and album sales are rising steadily. If you can''t take care of your own market, how can you spare the time to deal with Hong Kong?


    However, just in the past few days, a piece of news first circulated in a small area in the circle, and soon spread more and more widely. The music industry knew: Gao Lingfeng is in common! He has close ties with Hong Kong Oriental Company and is under investigation. His record company has suspended all business!


    It’s closer to the north!


    Everyone believes that Gao Lingfeng is connected to the Three Links, but it is ridiculous to say that he is connected to the Communist Party!


    Because this is a sensual person who doesn''t want to make good money or career, so he goes to commune with others? Do you think Xiao Jiang died quickly enough? The reality is that he was really investigated.


    As more details were dug up and the truth emerged, Chen Qi from Dongfang Company wrote a letter.


    What does Chen Qi do?


    The right-wingers in Hong Kong are being defeated step by step, and this is the guy who made the Information Bureau break through with "Life is Beautiful".


    Zongyi Records, where Gao Lingfeng worked, was developing well, but suddenly it was suspended. Everyone was hairy from top to bottom. Those who had connections quickly found connections, and those who didn''t had panic. He made many enemies and friends, and he was busy trying to get people to join him, and in short, he became a mess.


    Other record companies looked on helplessly, a bit unfair to others.


    "There is no evidence, just a letter to take people away? This looks like it is fake!"


    "Even if it''s false, it becomes true with the letter."


    "Who is that man named Chen Qi? Why do you want to kill him?"


    "I heard that the copyright purchase was unsuccessful."


    “Is that why???”


    All parties were in disbelief. For the first time, they realized Chen Qi''s petty intentions, and they felt sad in their hearts. Chen Qi''s letter, the government''s investigation, and the gangster brother''s gun were all terrifying existences in their hearts.


    Rolling Stone Records.


    Luo Dayou listened helplessly to his boss''s suggestion.


    "You have to change a line in "The Seventy-Two Changes of Phenomenon", ''Someone shot the singer in the dark.'' This clearly refers to Gao Lingfeng. Before, you could say that you were satirizing Taiwan''s poor public security, but now he agrees with it. I''m afraid you''ll be accused of sympathizing with the Reds!"


    "What should it be changed to?"


    "Whatever, how about someone drinking to drown their sorrows in the dark night?"


    "Drinking to drown your sorrows?"


    Luo Dayou was happy and did not refute: "Just change it like this!"


    "We also want our songs to be sung in public. We have to go on TV and radio. We..."


    While the boss was talking, someone suddenly came in in a hurry and whispered a few words. The boss''s face turned green: "Who sent the news?"


    "Zhu Benyan from Xinlisheng Records!"


    "Tell her, nothing is a problem! We don''t ask for royalties, use it as you like, as long as you don''t write to us."


    …


    Similar situations occurred at several record companies.


    The bosses suddenly became reasonable and generous, and they just asked not to provoke the **** of plague. Oriental Company''s Chen Qi, a name unknown to everyone before, has spread throughout Taiwan''s music scene in just a few days.


    Same goes for EMI.


    The relevant person in charge found Tan Jianchang and said depressedly: "You have heard the news, and we have not escaped. The other party got the news from somewhere, and asked for "Clouds in Hometown" and "365 Miles" by name."


    "Does he want ownership, or a cover?"


    "This is not an extortionate tax. He told all the companies that he wanted to cover songs, and we would be the first singers." "Then give it, the company is a multinational company, and we are not multinational personnel."


    "Yeah, what should I do if I don''t give it? Now I actually feel that he is very reasonable. He dealt with Gao Lingfeng, and the rest is just contacting him secretly. Just follow his instructions."


    So, before the album was released, these two songs were released first. Fortunately, they could still produce it as usual.


    Fei Xiang watched the whole process and was dumbfounded.


    He was just a little kid in Taiwan, how could he have ever experienced such a high-end business war? I saw another side of Mr. Chen. Of course, he wasn''t pretentious and sang the song as soon as he got it.


    According to prior arrangements, he first recorded a song "365 Miles".


    Chen Qi was sent to Beijing to play it on a radio station.


    ………


    Beijing.


    An alley in Chongwen District.


    That morning, personnel from the Ministry of Culture, the Taiwan Affairs Office, and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office gathered together, headed by comrades from the Taiwan Affairs Office, to explore the alley. The children playing around looked at them timidly and curiously. When looking at strangers, the little girl is particularly vigilant.


    "Do you know the rules or not? Is that so?"


    "Here it is! Li Mengbai, originally from Shandong, moved to Harbin. He has a daughter in Taiwan, and the files are all correct."


    "I heard that the old lady used to be wealthy?"


    "People who open hotels and car dealerships in Harbin are capitalists. It''s a shame that they are strong enough to survive. Otherwise, we still wouldn''t be able to find them."


    "Then why did you ask your daughter to go to Taiwan for no reason, or in 1949? Is it really a trip?"


    "Ahem, don''t ask around if you shouldn''t!"


    The comrade from the Taiwan Affairs Office coughed, and the other two people blinked and stopped asking.


    The identity of Fei Xiang''s mother is indeed a bit of a mystery. She and Li Ao are friends. There is no stone hammer, but Li Ao guessed that Bi Lina might be an underground worker.


    Walking to the end of the alley, they stopped at the entrance of a large courtyard. The three of them went in and found two bungalows. A gray-haired old lady was washing clothes outside. When she saw someone coming, she asked strangely: "Comrades, who are you looking for?" ah?"


    "Are you Li Mengbai?"


    "Well, is something wrong?"


    "Do you have a daughter in Taiwan who was separated in 1949?"


    The old lady stood up quickly, walked a few steps quickly, and held the hand of the Taiwan Affairs Office staff member: "I have a daughter in Taiwan. Is there any news about her? Is she still alive?"


    "Auntie, let''s go into the house and talk!"


    Half an hour later.


    The old lady who understood the cause and effect and regained her stability wiped her eyes and sighed: "I always thought that Nana was dead, and I couldn''t find anywhere to look for her. I didn''t expect that she was alive and gave birth to a grandson. Well, OK!"


    She pulled out a yellowed photo from under the large glass of the table and said, "She just sent this to me when she arrived in Taiwan. You can use it as a physical evidence...Comrade, I, I..."


    The old lady hesitated for a while, then asked: "If I contact her, can she come back?"


    "It''s impossible to say for sure. You also know the situation on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. If she wants to come back, we will fully cooperate. However, it is relatively convenient for your grandson. He is an American citizen, so he is more likely to come back."


    "Oh, okay, then it''s up to you!"


    The old lady has obviously seen the world and has her own dignity in everything she says and does.


    Coming out of the courtyard, the three comrades couldn''t help but waved their fists. Their efforts were in vain, they found someone!


    The united front has achieved quite a lot this year, with pilots Li David, Hou Dejian, Huang Ayuan, and perhaps Fei Xiang. The comrades from the Ministry of Culture were the most anxious. They drove back to the unit with thunder and lightning and reported to Ding Qiao.


    Ding Qiao was also excited: "Quickly, tell Xiao Chen immediately that he has been found!"
