Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.
Chapter 40 You're such a loser, no wonder you're so successful!
The following day, at Warner's repeated invitations, Teresa Teng, accompanied by Qiao Yue and led by Joseph Koo, a returnee from studying in the United States, traveled to various European and American countries before the start of the school year to promote her new album with Warner.
Teresa Teng, who had just given her heart to Li Huai-ren, was naturally very reluctant to part with him.
Before leaving, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she mustered up her courage and kissed Li Huai-ren on the cheek. Before Li Huai-ren could react, she ran out blushing and got into the car.
It has to be said that the twelve English songs that Li Huai-ren "copied" for Teresa Teng are really impressive. The key is that these twelve songs include various types of songs, so there is always one that suits the tastes of most foreigners.
Following its phenomenal first week of sales in the United States, Teresa Teng's album also enjoyed unparalleled success in Canada, South America, and Europe. No matter who the other artists were releasing albums at the same time in Europe and America, none could rival it, and in the end, they all became mere background figures in Teresa Teng's new album sales statistics.
Teresa Teng's new album was a huge success across the planet. Unaware that Li Huai-ren had changed Teresa Teng's identity card and passport to Hong Kong, the relevant authorities in Taiwan were naturally overjoyed, and various schemes began to emerge in the minds of people from all sides.
The first notice sent was to Teresa Teng to report to a certain department and join it, but Teresa Teng was in Europe and America promoting her albums, so the notice couldn't reach her and had to be abandoned for the time being.
Subsequently, people from another department came to Deng's mother's house and directly demanded that Teresa Teng go to camps in Kinmen and other places every year for a tour.
Although Deng's mother was greedy for money, she completely believed what Li Huai-ren had said, relayed by Teresa Teng on her phone call some time ago:
By becoming a Hong Kong citizen, Teresa Teng avoided all sorts of troubles from Taiwan and gained visa-free access to over 100 countries. This was most beneficial for her to travel the world to promote her records and tour, earning huge sums of foreign currency such as US dollars, British pounds, and French francs!
In other matters, Deng's mother might compromise and obediently comply.
But when it comes to money, did Teresa Teng earn less foreign exchange?
Regardless of whether you're Bald Qiang or Xiong Da and Xiong Er, Deng's mother flipped the table and revealed that Teresa Teng had become a Hong Kong citizen, clearly telling these people that Teresa Teng was no longer a Taiwanese citizen. So what can you do to her?
Seeing Deng's mother's nonchalant attitude, everyone who came felt as if they had swallowed a dead fly; they were extremely disgusted and uncomfortable.
Enraged, they turned around and fabricated a series of reasons to put Deng's mother and the entire Deng family on a blacklist, permanently banning them from leaving the country.
That same day, Li Huai-ren learned from Huang Lao-xie that Deng's mother had called, saying that her family had been restricted from leaving the country and that Phoenix Records should promptly transfer Deng Lijun's share of the profits to the Taiwanese bank account she provided.
Huang Laoxie asked Li Huai Ren how to handle this matter. Li Huai Ren thought for a moment and told Huang Laoxie to divide Teresa Teng's record revenue in two, sending half to Teresa's mother and half to Teresa Teng.
As for Teresa Teng's income from commercial performances, GG, and other sources, it was all deposited into Teresa Teng's bank account.
The happiest person after this happened is definitely Li Huai-ren.
He never expected that this incident would allow Teresa Teng to completely sever ties with Taiwan.
All the messy things that happened in Taiwan afterward had nothing to do with Teresa Teng.
Of course, the fact that Deng's mother and the entire Deng family were prohibited from leaving the country also amused Li Huai-ren for a long time. He had no desire to deal with these bizarre future relatives.
But the matter didn't end there. Two days later, the winds in Taiwan changed drastically. The previous fervent praise for Taiwan's daughter, Teresa Teng, turned against her, accusing her of treason and banning her from entering the country.
Upon learning the news, Wong Jim immediately became anxious and rushed to Phoenix Publishing House to find Li Huai-ren and inform him of the matter.
Li Huai-ren rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully:
"Huang Laoxie, calm down, calm down!"
Taiwan is just as small as Hong Kong. So what if you lose the market? Why are you so anxious?
You, I'm not trying to be mean, but...
We need to broaden our horizons and expand our perspectives further; our vision must be expansive!
If your vision is limited to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia, then Phoenix Records can only develop within this small pool, grow stealthily, and only do business within this small pool.
If your vision encompasses the entire world, then our Phoenix Records albums can be sold to every corner of the world, allowing people all over the globe to hear the songs of Phoenix Records' artists!
After saying that, he glanced at Huang Zhan, who was standing there stunned, and said slowly:
"One must have a broad perspective, and one's methods of doing things must also keep pace with the times."
If the mountain won't come to me, then I'll go to the mountain.
Taiwan has banned the sale of Ah-Jun's official records, so you're not going to sell them?
Ahem, well, this can be work around a bit, ahem, aren't there people on 14K who specialize in making pirated records? Ahem, ahem, ahem.
Also, could the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, cough cough cough, um, could they also follow suit in this way?
Rules are rules, but people are flexible. There are always more solutions than problems, right? Hehe, when we encounter a red light, we just turn left, don't we? Don't you think that makes sense?
Huang Zhan stared blankly at Li Huai Ren for a long time before he came to his senses and slowly said:
"I'm so angry! You've got a much bigger vision than me, and your solutions are unparalleled. No wonder you've become successful; you really deserve it!"
Having said that, as if he had been enlightened, his Ren and Du meridians had been opened, his three flowers had gathered at the top of his head, and his soul had been awakened, he turned and left.
He arrived full of anxiety, but left brimming with confidence, his mind filled with the motivational quotes Li Huai-ren had just given him, and how to sell Phoenix Records' records to every corner of the world.
A belief had been unknowingly etched into his mind: wherever the sun and moon shine, that is my market!
At the same time, in a small courtyard in Sanchong City, Taipei County, Taiwan, Brigitte Lin and her family looked somewhat worried.
Lin's mother looked at her son and said to Lin's father:
"Brother Liang, Cheng Sen has dodged this year, but what about next year or the year after?"
These days, anyone with connections, look at them, aren't they all sending their sons abroad? Who would want their son to go to Kinmen as cannon fodder?
"Look at Teresa Teng's family. Teresa Teng only became a Hong Kong citizen, but her whole family..."
"Don't talk about these things, be careful, the walls may be overhearing!"
Lin's father didn't let his wife continue complaining; he lowered his voice and interrupted her.
He glanced at his wife, then at his son, shook his head, sighed, and said helplessly in a low voice:
"Alas, it's a pity that after we bought this house, we didn't have much money left."
Otherwise, let Cheng Sen learn from Li Wenjie next door, first become a Hong Kong citizen, and then use Hong Kong as a stepping stone to study in the United States…”
Upon hearing her father's words, Lin Qingxia immediately thought of Li Huai-ren, the Hong Kong man who frequently wrote to her, and how he repeatedly invited her to join his Phoenix Film Company after graduating from high school. A thought struck her:
"This Li bad guy, no, I mean Li Huai-ren, he invited me to Hong Kong to film movies again and again after I graduated from high school, it must be true, right?"
If it's true, then I'll follow Teresa Teng's example and become a Hong Kong citizen. I'll ask Li Huai-ren to help my brother get Hong Kong citizenship too. That shouldn't be a problem, right? Then my brother won't have to go to Kinmen as cannon fodder, will he?
