TT: Do you think Taiwan society, especially Taiwan's publishers, welcome your arrival?
Lai: They don't really welcome my coming.
They concede that the publishing media have to go through reforms, but they also feel that the changes I am making in Taiwan's media gives them trouble. They think I am disturbing the market, and also their old styles. But what people say or think is not important to me.
I have frequently been a center of controversy, but I don't care. What's more important is our final product.
TT: Have you thought about what your next destination will be?
Lai: No, I am not the sort of person who plans for the future. I want to tackle the current difficulties, and make sure what I am doing is moving on the right path. I like to take one step at a time. I never think about the future. Nobody knows what will happen in the future, why bother thinking about it?
I have gradually consolidated all my overseas investments to Taiwan.
I think it is the right thing to do. I am very optimistic about Taiwan's prospects. I believe they will be very prosperous.
