Chapter 16 Cooperation

Chen Chong didn't expect that he asked Huang Yingying last night and saw her the next day.

When UFO Records was at its peak in the mid-to-late RU era, it was known as the "Tianhou Harem" and had four great queens: Su Rui, Cai Qin, Wang Zhilei, and Huang Yingying. The four of them joined hands and were very popular at all. The Rolling Stone Records led by Luo Dayou and Lee Zongsheng.

Among these four, Su Rui has a great influence, and Cai Qin's acting career has a long career. The two are the most well-known to mainland fans. Wang Zhilei only stayed in the UFO for three years before getting married and went to the United States. She has too few works and limited influence. However, Huang Yingying is not inferior to Cai Qin in terms of the spread of her works and her acting career, but her popularity has become much lower. The main reason is that she does not like to do publicity, rarely participates in TV shows and accepts media interviews, and has always kept a vague distance from fans and media.

Huang Yingying is one of the few female singers with very considerable sales of Chinese and English records. In the 1990s, she accumulated sales of English records of more than 7 million. She is the best-selling singer in Asia and has sold more than 10 million Chinese records. She has won the top ten Golden Songs Awards in Hong Kong and the Golden Tripod Award in Taiwan. She is the name of the queen of divas and is worthy of her name.

In Shen Chong's view, Huang Yingying was the female singer who knew the best self-packaging and self-breaking in the early RU era. Even in the 1st century, many female singers once married, their acting careers were basically completed. After Huang Yingying got married, her career hit a peak again and again. From the tender tunes of the 1970s to the urban love songs of the UU era, the style of pop music has changed many times. She has always been at the forefront of the times and never falls behind. According to the information she has seen in her previous life, she always makes records, song selection, arrangement, harmony, recording, copywriting, styling, distribution, publicity and other work, and participates in the whole process, and takes care of everything personally, and has extremely strict requirements. If this is the case, her musical talent is very amazing.

Huang Yingying's husband's family is a famous watch merchant in Singapore, and is also considered a wealthy family. I don't know if it is because she is calm by nature and is not good at speaking, or because she was temporarily assigned by the government to be a guest. She was reluctant and didn't speak much at the banquet. However, Chen Chong didn't care. His main energy was on Oh Zuotong and Chen Qingyan. The former was the Minister of Trade and Industry, the future Prime Minister of Singapore, and the latter was the president and Minister of Education of the National University. Although Huang Yingying was the queen of the emperor, she was still too lighter than these two people.

If it weren't for using Jardine's foreign business as a stepping stone, Chen Chong might not have seen these two people this time. However, even so, depending on the arrangements of the National University of Singapore, he knew that his weight was still a bit insufficient. Bill Gates went to Peking University and Park Geun-hye went to Tsinghua University. They were all giving speeches in the morning, so no big shot was giving speeches in the evening.

"President Chen, last year, I dropped out of school because my family's financial conditions were not allowed." After drinking for three rounds, Chen Chong put down his chopsticks and said, "I have always felt very regretful that I failed to complete my studies. So after making a small success in my career, I cooperated with several higher education institutions in Hong Kong to establish scholarships to help students with financial difficulties. I wonder if the National University of Singapore has any plans to receive social funding for education?"

"Some, some." The school never minds that there is too much money. Chen Qingyan said with a smile: "I don't know what the form of Mr. Chen's scholarship is?"

"It can be a long-term interest-free loan or a scholarship, either. As for the total amount of the scholarship, it is subject to the actual needs of the national university. I will not set a ceiling, and President Chen will decide."

Wu Zuotong was beside him and coughed gently.

"Mr. Chen is kind-hearted and generous, and is really a role model in business morality." Chen Qingyan glanced at Wu Zuodong and said, "The National University is a public education institution. The matters of scholarships need to be comprehensively considered. After we make a plan, we will contact Mr. Shen. What do you think?"

"No problem." Chen Chong smiled and said, "There is another thing that I want to discuss with Principal Chen."

"Mr. Chen, please speak."

"I have invested in several electronic products companies and need to do a lot of research and development work, but Silicon Valley is too far from Hong Kong, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, so I want to set up a research center in Asia. The National University is a world-renowned university of higher learning. I want to cooperate with your school to run a scientific research institute. I invested funds, your school produced people, and you achieved results. The business belongs to me, and the academic belongs to you. Everyone benefits each other. How about it?"

"I agree with this." Wu Zuotong immediately spoke and said: "President Chen, Mr. Chen's suggestion is exactly the same as Stanford University's idea of ​​founding Silicon Valley. It applies what you have learned and does not conflict with business and scientific research.

Chen Qingyan knew that Wu Zuotong wanted to use his scientific research capabilities as a bargaining chip to attract investment. He nodded slightly and asked: "The electronic products cover a very broad field. I wonder which technology Mr. Chen plans to focus on?

"Data compression." Chen Chong picked up the chopsticks again and said, "I refer to your school today. I heard that your school has very strong strength in scientific computing. Currently, the capacity of computer storage devices is limited, and it is urgent to make breakthroughs in this area. Data compression is worth studying whether commercially or academically."

"Our National University does have some technical accumulation in this regard." Chen Qingyan is an expert in physics and applied mathematics. He is very clear that studying data compression is a huge project and requires a lot of financial support, so he picked up the wine glass and said, "I am looking forward to working with Mr. Shen."

Chen Chong also raised his wine glass and said, "Yu Cup."

In his previous life, he had a friend who was a top student. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he studied for a master's degree, and after finishing his doctorate, he went to the National University of Singapore to be a postdoctoral fellow. According to the top student, the National University of Singapore entered the top 30 in the world university rankings and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. It is the top university in Asia second only to the University of Tokyo, Japan, and is at the forefront of the world in many fields.

No matter when, talents are the most important resource. They are deploying digital multimedia and digging holes for the future. There are many things to do. Although Silicon Valley has strong scientific research strength, it is too far from Hong Kong. Moreover, the political structure between China and the United States is changing rapidly. It is necessary to prepare for the future and make technical reserves in Asia in advance, just in case. Therefore, an academic strong school like the National University of Singapore is worth investing. Singapore is not short of money, and the favorability gains from building buildings and libraries is limited, so it is better to contact the students themselves directly with scholarships and research institutes, so that they can better focus on those capable people.

After the banquet, on the way to the speech venue, Qiu Siyu asked with some concern: "Mr. Chen, do you really want to give improvised speeches without writing? Singapore has a strong control over speech. If you say the wrong words in a formal occasion, you will cause trouble."
