When Chen Chong came to Japan, he mobilized many people and brought more than 20 subordinates, including investment departments, film departments, newspapers and TV stations. When he went to Singapore, he only brought one secretary, which was extremely low-key.

After traveling through time, as his career grew bigger and bigger, wealth became more and more. Although Chen Chong was always very modest on the surface, he was actually extremely arrogant and arrogant inside. He didn't take it seriously in a small country like Singapore. However, the various entanglements after the exposure of emotional problems some time ago made him deeply realize that he was still an individual, and he was not an omnipotent god. So his arrogance dissipated and his mentality dipped, thus truly achieving a harmonious, natural, calm and moderate state of life. The various manifestations of youth in the past were just disguise supported by the golden fingers.

No matter how strong you are, you are just a person after all. Singapore is small, after all, it is a country, and it is a developed country with a backer and a good geographical location around you.

Therefore, after receiving the invitation from the National University of Singapore, Chen Chong said he didn't care, but he attached great importance to it in his heart. He specifically ordered Gu Liwei to collect information and prepare for it. If it was just over two months ago when the Academy Awards ended, let alone preparations, he would be very likely to directly hold the face of an angry online youth and make a fuss, attack Lee Kuan Yew's various anti-China policies that discriminate against Chinese. Anyway, ban it, ban it. Who cares about that little market in a small country with a population of one or two million?

But now his mentality has changed. On the other hand, Singapore is the only Chinese-language cultural base besides the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions. Just like the United States treats Taiwan as an aircraft carrier that is not sunk. In a cultural sense, Singapore is also a bridgehead for the expansion of Southeast Asia by the sunken media empire. If it is just to be open-minded and be refreshed, it will be no more than the loss.

Mouth can’t change the world. Lee Kuan Yew used policies to suppress Chinese culture. I will use money to support Chinese culture. Let’s use practical actions to help...

So on the flight from Tokyo to Singapore, Chen Chong was looking through the information about Singapore that Gu Liwei specially faxed to Tokyo.

The data is divided into three parts. The first part is that Singapore is reclaiming the sea to build Changi International Airport. Some of the projects are under construction by Kinmen Construction. As the new owner of Kinmen Construction, it is necessary to briefly understand.

In 19RU, Singapore's main airport was Cenyereba Airport. It was built in 1955 and could no longer keep up with the needs of development. It was in the city and was inconvenient to expand. Therefore, a new airport was built in Changi on the eastmost point. A total of UU 10,000 cubic meters of soil and 40,000 cubic meters of sand and gravel were used. The first phase of the construction project is planned to be completed next year, that is, in July 1981, including the First Passenger Building, the Aircraft Runway, 45 aircraft parking areas, as well as all related supporting facilities such as aircraft repair stations, fire stations, affairs offices, freight centers and other facilities.

Kinmen Construction is responsible for part of the reclamation project and the construction of a command console of about RU meters high. Chen Chong just took a brief look at the contents of this aspect and was not too concerned. First, these projects are coming to an end, and second, the handover work has not been officially completed. Kinmen Construction is nominally a company affiliated to Jardinet Foreign Company.

The second part is the details of Singapore Jurong Industrial Park. Jurong is located in the coastal area in the southwest of Singapore Island, about 10 kilometers away from the city, with an area of ​​UU square kilometers. It was originally a barren land composed of swamps and hills. In 19U1, the Singapore government planned a 64dU hectares of land development industrial park here. In 19U8, the construction of various infrastructures such as factories, ports, docks, railways, highways, electricity, water supply and other infrastructure in the park was basically completed. In the same year, the Jurong Town Management Bureau was established to uniformly control the supply of industrial land and various parks across the country. The Economic Development Bureau dispatched a professional investment team around the world to be responsible for investment.

The Jurong Industrial Park was originally mainly engaged in the development of labor-intensive industries, mainly to solve the employment problems of Singaporeans. By 1979, the industrial park hired one-third of the country's labor force, and the unemployment rate dropped from 10 in the 1960s to basically complete the task. Therefore, since last year, the industrial park began to transform and launched the 19RU-1990 ten-year master plan to support high-growth and high-value-added enterprises, and began to build Singapore Science and Technology Park to recruit science and technology development enterprises.

This is the reason why Singapore immediately showed good news after the sunken $1 billion satellite was exposed in Taiwan. You should know that although Singapore ranks among the four Asian dragons, it is the weakest one. In 1979, South Korea's GDP reached more than US$U billion, Taiwan has US$33.8 billion, Hong Kong has US$500 million, while Singapore has less than US$9.3 billion, only one-third of that of Thailand...

However, according to the information, the main direction of the transformation of Jurong Industrial Park is chemical and mechanical manufacturing, and it does not pay attention to electronic technology. Chen Chong searched in his memory. Apart from the innovation of making sound cards and headphones, he never thought that there were any well-known computer or IT companies in Singapore.

Innovation is good. The digitalization of sound is exactly the technology that Chen Chong has to tinker with recently. However, according to Gu Liwei's verification, there is no company called "Innovation Technology" in Singapore at this time. It must have not been established. If it is not established, there will be no chance to appear. The innovative ace "Sound Baron" series sound cards were only released in 1989. Chen Chong couldn't wait for that long. With his crazy spending of money on research and development, at most three years, the p who is still mute will make a sound.

Singapore is just a spare tire used to stimulate the Taiwanese authorities. It is also a superficial article to study the information of Jurong Industrial Park. What he really pays attention to is the third information.

This is information about the Nanyang Commercial Daily and Sin Chew Daily. In Shen Chong's previous life, most people may not have heard of the names of these two newspapers, but if the name of another newspaper is mentioned, many people must know it, that is Lianhe Zaobao.

Lianhe Zaobao is the only overseas Chinese newspaper that can be sold in mainland cities. Its website is also one of the few overseas media that can be read without browsing the wall. Lianhe Zaobao is just the abbreviation of this newspaper. Its full name is Nanyang Sin Chew Lianhe Zaobao, which is a newspaper formed by the merger of Nanyang Sin Chew Daily and Sin Chew Daily.

The Nanyang Commercial Daily was founded in Singapore on September 1923 by the famous overseas Chinese Tan Kah Kee. It is the largest newspaper in Singapore and Malaysian Chinese communities. It sold more than 100,000 copies at its peak. In 1971, Lee Kuan Yew accused the newspaper of pro-communist stance, reporting good news but not bad news, beautifying communist life and harming Singapore's interests. Then the so-called "May storm" launched, arresting the general manager, editor-in-chief and other senior executives of the Nanyang Commercial Daily, and then changing the law, stipulating that the daily newspaper must be reorganized into a public limited company, and the maximum shareholder holdings shall not exceed 30. The Nanyang Commercial Daily's ownership will change hands, thus declining.

Sin Chew Daily was founded in 2019 by Hu Wenhu, a Hong Kong newspaper tycoon. It was originally one of the three major newspaper groups in Hong Kong. However, before Hu Wenhu passed away, he made a will to split up. Sin Chew Daily was inherited by his adopted son Hu Jiao. This newspaper had average influence and was not profitable, but Hu Jiao was lucky and recruited a super big man to be the editor-in-chief. This man was named Li Kexing. He was an editor of AFP. He was proficient in newspaper management and had a brilliant literary talent. The editorial was written in excellent form, spicy and sharp, with good opinions and popular. Even several world-famous international news agencies used his editorials as a model. The US Consulate in Singapore often used his editorials as political reports to return to China, which promoted the sales of Sin Chew Daily to rise steadily and became the leading Chinese newspaper in Southeast Asia in the 1960s.

Although Nanyang Business Daily and Sin Chew Daily compete fiercely and have a quarrel with each other, these two newspapers have a completely consistent position, that is, they strongly advocate Chinese, safeguard Chinese education, and firmly oppose the forced English education promoted by Singapore and Malaysia after World War II. For example, Singapore had just become independent, and some government officials once suggested that Nanyang University focuses on Chinese language and is not suitable for a multi-racial society like Singapore. It should change the Chinese teaching ability of English teaching. Li Xingke published two editorials in Sin Chew Daily to refute it, which aroused a great social response and forced Singapore to give up this policy.

However, in the May storm in 1971, Sin Chew Daily was also suppressed by Lee Kuan Yew. The boss Hu Jiao was invited by the Political Department to have tea every few days. Lee Kuan Yew publicly accused him of accepting the CCP’s funding, so the newspapers always attacked the Singapore government. Hu Jiao was originally a second-generation ancestor, without any ability or courage, and obeyed, neither denying nor defending. The reputation of the newspaper was greatly affected. The chief writer Li Xingke was forced to go abroad. After several twists and turns, everyone in Sin Chew Daily became a local bank in Singapore.

After the two banners that advocate Chinese education by Nanyang Business Daily and Sin Chew Daily were cut down, Singapore's Chinese education collapsed rapidly, and a large number of Chinese schools were reorganized into English schools. Since 1976, Singapore has begun to advocate Nanyang University to English education. By 19RU, Nanyang University was incorporated into the National University, and no one dared to raise objections.

Lee Kuan Yew's reason for merging Nanyang University is that the Chinese university cannot recruit students. According to public survey data, there are 10,000 citizens over ten years old in Singapore who only understand Chinese, more than 300,000 people who understand Chinese and English, and there are 10,000 people who only understand Chinese. So many people who understand Chinese cannot support a university. Who believes it if they say it?

Of course, university education is Singapore's own business, and Shen Chong is not the president, so it's not his turn to take care of this matter. He is a media person and just wants to do something about the Nanyang Commercial Daily and Sin Chew Daily. These two newspapers were merged into Lianhe Zaobao in 1983. It is said that when these two newspapers with a history of more than 50 years, someone sighed that it would be better not to call them "Lianhe Zaobao" and "Shangxing (Sad) Morning Post".

Until the 21st century, Singapore was considered one of the countries with the lowest press freedom in the world, lower than mainland China, and extremely strict controls. How to run these two newspapers is a very troublesome thing.

Shen Chong used his finger to draw on the map on the file, curled his lips, and said intimately: "Malaysia strictly controls all Chinese media, Indonesia prohibits the issuance of Chinese newspapers and imported Chinese books, and Singapore is full of things that are not trained."
