Pacific Media web article on our promotion.... i think?!?!?!

The company Paul Conway is involved in (owns???) I was looking for a bit of information and this article stood out like a sore thumb. You'll need to translate it and I'm mindful some web translations aren't the smoothest, but you'll get the gist.

The translated version of the Chinese text...

Interesting...

Paul Conway is listed as CoFounder of PMG (Pacific Media Group). The company was seemingly formed in 2014. Grace Hung is listed as the Founder.

Paul Conway was involved in the IPO listing of 7 days inn, Chien lees hotel chain. He was MD at Media Investment Banking Group. It would seem that is where Lee and Conways associations began.

 

Meanwhile... Newcitycaptial seem to trade from a miami seafront apartment.
