Chapter 229 Suppression
"Young master, you may not know that many chambers of commerce in Hangzhou Mansion jointly claim to prevent Miss Jingwei from being on the list at all costs." Xiaoque said.

"Oh?" Fang Jing asked curiously, "What do they want to do?"

"It's just money." Xiaoque said, "They claim that they have raised millions of taels to suppress Miss Jingwei. If we don't have millions of taels to support Miss Jingwei, then Miss Jingwei's popularity will definitely go down. Very low."

Fang Jing knows some rules of the competition. On the day of the competition, the organizer of the top ranking list, Sanbangzong, will send out 50 votes, which means that all the people in the city and the people in the Jianghu can usually get one vote.

One vote represents ten points of popularity, and finally the top ten most popular beauties will be selected from the twenty beauties who are nominated for the new beauty list.

If it is supported by silver, it will be a tael of silver and a little popularity.

In order to canvass votes, the forces competing for the rankings will find ways to buy votes from everyone in the city.

One vote represents ten points of popularity, and one tael of silver is just a little popularity, so one vote can often be sold for about five taels.

If the competition is fierce, one ticket can even be sold for nine taels.

This is also an opportunity to make a fortune for the people in the rivers and lakes and the local people who came over.

For ordinary people in the city, each household will have one vote.

Even if it's one vote and five taels per household, it's not bad, a windfall.

If there are multiple members in a family, they might get a few more votes. After all, there must be some remaining votes after they are distributed to each household. Sanbangzong distributes these remaining votes randomly, and everyone has a chance.

Of course, there are also beauties who fall in love with themselves, and those who are not tempted in front of silver couples are often those who are not short of money.

Most people in the Jianghu are cash-strapped, and five taels of silver is also good.

So this time the opponent pooled millions of taels of silver, and if he voted for one person, it would be millions of people.

50 votes means 500 million popularity, and there is an upper limit for votes alone.

But there is no upper limit for money, as long as there is enough money, it is absolutely possible to have millions or even tens of millions of popularity.

Judging from the minimum standards of the recent rankings, it is often more than a million people.

In other words, if you want to rely solely on votes to make people superior, it is basically impossible. Generally, you have to add the support of the gold master's silver.

Xu Niyi was on the list back then because of a lot of votes, and at the same time, there were people who supported him with silver taels.

Fang Jing knew the people behind these silver bills.

Obviously, Sanbangzong was playing tricks in the dark.

They can't let the ten people on the list all be on the list because of money, so they have to get a few people to be on the list based on the number of votes.

As for the silver taels that were handed out, they were all in the hands of the three of them, and there was no loss.

"A few million taels?" Fang Jing said with a slight smile, "They must have underestimated our Fang family business. If they want to squeeze Jingwei out, they have to take the top ten. These few million taels are not enough For the top ten, each is divided into 10 taels, which means hundreds of thousands of points of popularity, can we not exceed this point of popularity?"

The current Fang family business has a big business, and a few 10 taels are really not taken seriously.

Don't say it's to collect tickets, even if it's a few 10 taels, Fang Jing doesn't even bat an eyelid.

"That's not the case." Xiaoque hurriedly shook her head and said, "There is a new rule for this competition."

"New regulations?" Wang Xiyue asked a little puzzled, "When did it happen?"

"Sanbangzong just announced." Xiaoque said, "It says that regardless of votes or silver taels, you can vote in the opposite direction."

"Reverse cast? What does this mean?" Liang Jingwei asked curiously.

"Miss Jingwei, if you get 1000 popularity, then the opponent can vote in reverse or take money. One vote will reduce ten points of popularity, and one tael of silver will reduce one point of popularity." Xiaoque explained, "Sanbangzong suddenly added this item. The regulations must be a conspiracy of the local business, and they want to use this to suppress our Fang family business."

The expressions of Wang Xiyue and Liang Jingwei changed slightly.

If this is the case, the other party's millions of taels of silver can reduce the popularity of millions of people on his side.

Originally, they also had the same idea as Fang Jing. If the other party refused to let Jingwei be on the list, then they would have to take over the top ten. In this way, even if it is several million taels, it is not too much, after all, it has to be shared among the top ten. on the head.

Now this move is obviously aimed at Jingwei, they just need to stare at Jingwei and knock down Jingwei's popularity.

"Xiyue, it seems that we have offended many people recently." Fang Jing said with a chuckle.

He didn't think it was Sanbangzong who helped the local firm to deal with him. It should be that Sanbangzong noticed some contradictions between his Fang's firm and the local firm, so he came up with such a new rule, obviously wanting to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Reap the benefits.

In the past six months, the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce has conquered the city and seized territory, squeezing the business of businesses in various places, and the same is true here in Hangzhou. Some local businesses have been unable to bear it.

This scene now is obviously revenge, and at the same time, it is also an attempt to suppress his own momentum.

Several million taels of silver, this is not a small sum.

"A shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is inevitable to offend people." Wang Xiyue said, "But as far as the Hangzhou government's business is concerned, I think they are unlikely to be able to raise several million taels of silver, right?"

There are probably more than a hundred large and small businesses in Hangzhou Prefecture that can be called famous.

If several million taels of silver are shared, each family will have to spend tens of thousands of taels. This is not a big problem for the big firms in the front, but it may not be enough for the small firms in the back.

Don't say tens of thousands of taels, even a few thousand taels is a heartache.

The profit of these small businesses behind is only 2 to [-] taels a year, and they even lose money when the year is bad.

"Xiyue, what do you mean?" Fang Jing's heart moved, "Is it that companies from other provinces also participated?"

"Ah?" Liang Jingwei exclaimed, "Shops from other prefectures in Jiangnan East County join forces to deal with us?"

"I'm afraid that's the case. I dare not say all of them. I believe there are most of them." Wang Xiyue nodded.

"This~~ what should I do?" Liang Jingwei said nervously.

This is almost public outrage.

It's no wonder Liang Jingwei panicked, it's like a sect being besieged by all the forces in the world, no matter how strong it is, it can't resist it, right?

"Brother Fang, why don't I stop competing for the list?" Liang Jingwei said again.

This is simply a bottomless pit, the other party can take out millions of taels, and can add more afterwards.

"Be timid before fighting?" Fang Jing shook his head after taking a look at Liang Jingwei, "What's there to be afraid of, a mob?"

"But in this way, wouldn't it cost our Fang family business several million taels, or even more, which is not worth it." Liang Jingwei said.

If it was a few hundred thousand taels, she wouldn't be too heartbroken, because she knew the financial resources of the Fang family firm.

But several million taels is not a small sum.

If it is considered an investment in the expansion of the firm, of course there is no problem.

But if it is placed on the list, it is thrown out directly.
