Music siblings keep thinking big

When Chen Jinfang and her younger brother Chen Rentai started their record company in 1993, neither knew much about the music industry.

Chen Jinfang was selling home appliances in a State-owned company in Guangzhou, earning 1,000 yuan ($170) a month, while her brother, a big fan of pop music, often went to Hong Kong to buy CDs. He liked singing karaoke because of his good voice, which his friends said, resembled that of Hong Kong pop star Alam Tam.

The two made the bold decision, mainly because she believed in her brother's music intuition and she was confident about her talent in sales.
