    "Don't make trouble." Zhang Aijia pushed away Shen Chong's hand that wanted to hug her and said, "My grandpa is inside." Shen Chong raised his eyes and looked at the hazy outline of the villa and asked, "Mr. Wei is here too?" "He has been there recently."  I¡¯m not feeling well. The environment here is good and the air is fresh. Come stay for a few days and recuperate. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, right?¡±  " "It's nothing. The doctor said it was wind chill. If you catch a little cold, you just need to rest for a while.  " Shen Chong said, he put away his restless thoughts, straightened his clothes, and said: "How do I look? Do I look like a gentleman?  " "Like a big-headed ghost.  Zhang Aijia hit him with her bag and said, "Come in quickly, it's windy and it's so cold outside."  " This is a two-story small building with a courtyard. The specific structure cannot be seen clearly in the night, but the exquisite and unique doors and windows and the ancient blue brick courtyard walls all highlight the extraordinaryness of this place. " I'll come.  I come.  "Shen Chong grabbed the copper ring on the courtyard gate before Zhang Aijia, knocked it, and then said: "It's really rare that there are such traditional objects nowadays. What is this decorative animal, a lion's head?  " "You upstart, it's so shameful to stand aside. This is the assistant chief.  Zhang Aijia looked down at him with her eyes and said: "Dragon has nine sons, and the assistant chief is the ninth son. He is quiet by nature, highly alert, and good at guarding doors. He is a traditional Chinese door decoration."  " Before Shen Chong had time to quarrel and refute, the door was opened by a rich middle-aged woman with her hair in a bun. "Miss is back.  " "Aunt Rong, this is Mr. Shen. He is staying here tonight.  Zhang Aijia walked into the yard and asked, "Where is my grandpa?"  " "The master is in the study.  "    "Are you hungry?  Zhang Aijia turned around and asked, "I asked Aunt Rong to prepare some midnight snacks. Do you want some?"  ¡± ¡°Fortunately, I ate at the Hong Kong Airport and I¡¯m not so hungry now.  Shen Chong looked at the blooming plum blossoms in the corner of the courtyard and said, "It's really nice here. I forget the customs once I see it. If I stay here for a few more days, I will definitely wash away my local tyranny and become the most elegant cultural person in the world."  " "Don't be so talkative. If you're not hungry, go to the study. Grandpa is waiting for you because he has something important to do.  ¡± The decoration and furnishings in the room are very traditional Chinese. The Eight Immortals table, Taishi chair, screen, calligraphy and painting, etc. are all available. Stepping on the wooden stairs, listening to the creaking sound, full of ancient charm, Shen Chong gently traced it with his fingers.  Passing the guardrail with carved patterns, looking at the swaying back in front of me, I asked: "You really don't like it here?  " "It's good here. If you can't buy it, just stop thinking about taking it for yourself."  Zhang Aijia said: "This is a party asset, a place where high-ranking officials retire. It will not be sold. Every piece of furniture has its origin. The calligraphy and paintings hanging in the living room are all authentic and priceless."  "    "it's a pity.  "Shen Chong sighed and said: "Suddenly I realized that I am so poor. When I get rich in the future and become as rich as my country, I must buy a better house to live in than here.  "The study is at the end of the second floor, a Japanese-style room. Take off your shoes, open the paper door covered with cherry blossoms, and see Wei Jingmeng sitting on the tatami, wearing reading glasses, reading attentively. "Mr. Wei.  " "Xiao Shen, come on, come on, sit down.  "Wei Jingmeng took off his glasses, greeted him warmly, and then ordered: "Jiajia, go make tea.  "Mr. Wei, how are you doing?"  " "It's just a cold, it's a small thing, don't worry.  "Wei Jingmeng put down the book, stared at Shen Chong with sharp eyes, and said, "Xiao Shen, I heard that you have made a lot of money recently, how much is it?  " "I made $300 million from gold futures.  Shen Chong saw his serious expression and asked, "Why, Mr. Wei wants money?"  " "I am a retired old man, just waiting to die, what do I need money for?  "Wei Jingmeng waved his hand, pondered for a while, and said: "If you have spare money, you can invest some in Taiwan.  " At this time, the door was opened, and Zhang Aijia walked in holding a tea set. Shen Chong stood up diligently and helped her clean up. At the same time, she asked: "Taiwan is so big, where can I invest it?  " "Drink tea first.  Wei Jingmeng didn't answer and said, "It's cold. You just came back from outside. Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."  " After Zhang Aijia cleaned up, she pursed her lips, made a playful face of grievance and helplessness, and retreated. " As expected of a movie queen, the richness of her expression made Shen Chong smile. He picked up the exquisite blue and white porcelain teacup,  He took a gentle sip and said: "Mr. Wei, Jiajia is not an outsider, so there is no need to avoid her.  " "Xiao Shen, remember, when doing big things, it's best not to let women interfere. Women are naturally indecisive and prone to bad things.  "Wei Jingmeng earnestly warned: "If you ask her to open a film company, I won't object to whatever she does. It won't cost much to make a small fuss, but what we are talking about now is a big business worth hundreds of millions. She is a girl.  Don't listen well.  I am also protecting her to prevent you from causing trouble in the future.  " Shen Chong said yes again and again, indicating that he accepted the teaching, and then asked: "Mr. Wei, you just said that there are hundreds of millions of people in Taiwan.?Business?  " Wei Jingmeng nodded slightly. He held the tea cup. After a while, he slowly said: "Last month, Executive Yuan President Sun Yunzhi submitted a report to the president, proposing to establish an independent party and government in Taiwan.  TV stations outside the military.  " Hearing this, Shen Chong shook his hand and spilled the tea in the cup. It was indeed a big business. On May 19, 1949, Chen Cheng, then Chairman of the Taiwan Provincial Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Taiwan Provincial Police, promulgated martial law. From May 1949 onwards,  From 0:00 on July 15, 1987, martial law was imposed throughout Taiwan. It lasted for 38 years and 56 days until July 15, 1987, when Chiang Ching-kuo announced the lifting of martial law. During this long period, there were only three television stations in Taiwan, and they were all owned by the Kuomintang¡¯s China Television.  The three companies are Taiwan Television Company, which belongs to the government, and China Television Company, which belongs to the military. The three stations are not affiliated with each other. They cooperate and compete. They jointly monopolize the television market in Taiwan. Taiwan and the mainland are both similar and different.  What's different is that under martial law, the political atmosphere is thick and there are many minefields that cannot be touched. The difference is that under the ubiquitous pressure and influence of the United States, Taiwan's social structure is relatively open, and private media are developed, taking advantage of the government's loopholes everywhere.  . For example, although the government has banned him everywhere, he still writes a column in the China Times and curses people every day. The government has no choice but to do the same, even though Taiwan TV, China Television, and China Television have the monopoly.  However, Taiwan is mountainous and public television signals cannot cover all areas. In the mid-1970s, water and electricity project businessmen in Keelung and Shipai areas sniffed out the business opportunities of cable TV and stretched cables in the streets and alleys to provide services to the public.  Selling TV boxes for NT$500 per month, they secretly play stock market information, pornographic films, Mark Six lottery information and non-copyrighted movie tapes. These programs are more exciting and fresh than the clich¨¦s of the third channel, and are very popular among consumers.  Favorite, for a while, cable TV stations sprung up one after another. There were hundreds of cable TV stations, collectively known as "Channel 4." Many of these cable TV stations were "democracy stations" created by pro-democracy activists, making Taiwan  The government is extremely troubled, but it has repeatedly banned it. "The underground cable TV stations have contributed to the "Beautiful Island" incident and played a big role. Sun Yunxuan wants to set up an independent TV station, probably to drain the bottom of the fire and eliminate the livelihood of these underground cable TV stations. "  Mr. Wei, this independent TV station.  Shen Chong put down the cup, wiped the water stains with his sleeves, and asked, "Is it wireless or wired?"  " "Cable station.  "Wei Jingmeng took a brown paper bag from behind, handed it to him, and said, "This is the report, take a look.  " "This is a secret document.  Shen Chong took it, looked at the eye-catching red logo on it, and said, "Can I see it?"  " "It's okay, just watch it here and don't spread it outside.  " Shen Chong opened the paper bag, took out a stack of documents, and looked at it carefully. After more than half an hour, he put away the documents and returned them to Wei Jingmeng, saying: "This proposal is too general and is still in the proposal stage. It is not operable.  It is too low, and the steps are too complicated. It will take at least three to five years to implement it.  " "Although Sun Yunzhe is a technocrat, his strengths are in electricity and technology, and he is an outsider in media.  "Wei Jingmeng re-wrapped the seal on the document bag and said: "I have been dealing with the media all my life. I was also the one who planned the establishment of Taiwan Television back then, so the president gave me the proposal and asked me to evaluate it and how to operate it.  , I have a big say.  Xiao Shen, do you want to do this business?  " "Yes, of course I do," Shen Chong answered resolutely. "Although cable TV stations are not as wide-ranging and influential as wireless TV stations, they are still TV stations, and the penetration rate of Taiwan's cable TV stations is not low. In Sun Yunlai's proposal, he said  In Taipei alone, it is roughly estimated that there are more than 200,000 subscribers. This is very ideal data. As long as it is operated properly, it will be profitable soon. "In this case, I will tell the president that this proposal is feasible.  "Wei Jingmeng put away the document bag, drank a cup of tea, and then said: "But there are some conditions that need to be explained clearly in advance.  " "Mr. Wei, please speak.  " "First, the largest shareholder of this TV station must be a Taiwanese, even if it is a Taiwanese in name only.  After Wei Jingmeng finished speaking, he explained: "Neither the party nor the government will allow foreign capital to be the major shareholder of the TV station. You have to accept this."  "    "Can.  Shen Chong nodded and said, "I understand this."  " "Second, you have to give me a share of this TV station.  " "It should, it should, don't mention my relationship with Jiajia.  Shen Chong said with a smile: "Just because of your high moral and respectable reputation, I have to give you. You are always a treasure to hold the stage."  " "Don't put a high hat on me. When it comes to flattering, you are still very young.  "Wei Jingmeng waved his hand and said with a desolate tone: "I don't want this stock for myself. I'm old and weak. I have to nurse myself back from a cold. I probably don't have many years left to live. It's useless to ask for money.  But I can't worry about the woman in my family. I have to leave a piece of property to support her in her old age.  "  Shen Chong pursed his lips, did not speak, and just nodded. Wei Jingmeng's little lover was only in his thirties and pretty. It would not be good to say "I will support your wife" at this time. He had to avoid suspicion.  "Third, you give me a sum of money and I will help you open your joints." "No problem."
