Zenghe Inc

Zenghe Records Incorporated (Chinese: 曾和唱片公司) or Tsenghe Records Inc., commonly referred to as Zenghe Inc (曾和公司) or just Zenghe (曾和), is a Tsengian record label and music corporation based in Tseng City, Tseng. It is one of the largest record labels in the Chinese-speaking world and one of the largest independent record labels in Asia. It is arguably the most influential record label for Tsengian music.

Early years
Zenghe was founded on August 1, 1945, as Union Jack Records. It was created by the Deng brothers, Romeo and Daniel, along with their friend Albert Baxley. It was a small record label at first. In 1946, they changed the label name to Zenghe, meaning "Tseng peace", after the end of the independence movement and revolution.

Growth
In 1955, Zenghe managed to sign Hugh Huang and Joanne Liu, popular rock and Tsengge singers, respectively. It brought a wave of revenue and popularity as Zenghe grew in status. In 1958, Zenghe acquired Fengding Records, their first acquisition. More singers were signed, like Alice Sheng, Lucas Zhang, and Pierre Wang.

1960s to 1980s
Zenghe continued to grow despite the Luanzheng Era, when there were restrictions on music and its content. They scored a big point with the famous band the Assistants, being a beacon of hope in a time of chaos. During the 1970s, Zenghe established its dominance with the signing of famous singer Chang Chih-wei. However, Zenghe's influence on the Tsengian music industry waned by the end of the 1970s and early 1980s with competition by ECN Records, Tseng, and Gongshan Records.

Tsengge Eight era
By 1993, eight artists ruled Tsengge. They were collectively known as the Tsengge Eight. The eight provided some of the most highest-selling and influential albums and songs in Tsengge, and six of them were signed to Zenghe Inc, re-establishing Zenghe's place in the Tsengian and Asian music world. By the 2000s though, it was clear that the era was coming to an end.

Modern years
George Mileham, who had been signed to Zenghe since the 1960s, helped modernize Zenghe with albums like Tornado (2002), which turned previously obscure EDM producers such as Kurtiz Xiong, G. Allen, Rickie McGlothin, Tustin Wang and 3.omg into prominent producers/remixers in the Tsengge genre virtually overnight. Two, Xiong and Allen, were already signed to Zenghe, and they helped sustain Zenghe Inc in the 2000s and 2010s with albums like Li Yuanhao's Merciless (2007) and Damien Zhu's Against All Odds (2011).

Despite this, Zenghe's market share in the music industry of Tseng is expected to decrease due to globalization and more competition, especially from record labels in both Tseng and other countries like the US or Japan.
