The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 224 Cutting leeks

It’s strange to say!
The clothing trade in Shenzhen and Guangzhou is booming. The trendy clothing here is sold directly to all parts of the country via railways and highways, and many people have become rich because of it.

The private garment factories here are developing rapidly. Once the trendy clothes are produced, they will be quickly shipped to trucks and turned into huge cash flow.

However, many state-owned garment factories in Guangzhou are facing difficulties in operation.

They are still producing old clothes according to the planned model, which is difficult to sell now.

Naturally, every batch of production would result in losses. Coupled with the heavy historical and personnel burdens, life was naturally quite difficult.

Then, Lin Ershao found a spokesperson and spent only a few million Hong Kong dollars to acquire a medium-sized clothing factory in Guangzhou.

Afterwards, several pieces of equipment that were 70% new were immediately brought over from Hong Kong Island, and production began quickly after a brief adjustment.

Well, they produce high-quality A-grade clothing, not the branded clothing of Lin’s Clothing Company.

By the time Young Master Lin received the exact news, two batches of newly produced high-quality A-grade clothing had already been transported to the port by car and loaded onto the ship.

“It’s really cheap!”

When he heard the production costs mentioned on the phone, even he couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder everyone brings goods from the mainland, there is indeed a great cost advantage.

Even if we follow Guan Zaisen's advice and go through normal customs procedures, the profits will be quite astonishing.

Ahem, Guan Zaisen also followed Wu Feng's example and imitated him so thoroughly.

Wu Feng learned about 70% of the mainland's style, and his main focus is on being honest and upright.

Coincidentally, he had also heard some of Wu Feng’s related remarks.

Therefore, when faced with Young Master Lin's questions, he gave a very cautious answer.

Just as Wu Feng said, there is no need to play any tricks. Just go through customs according to the regular procedures and wait for the goods to be successfully loaded onto the ship.

"Brother Sen did a great job!"

After Wu Feng got the news, he was very satisfied with Guan Zaisen's performance.

After communicating with Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin, we decided to give some support to Yu Heliansheng.

In fact, it is the business of supporting and winning the goods.

This time, Young Master Lin was completely dragged into the water.

Don't think he can get away with it by playing the agent trick.

Are you kidding me?
Wu Feng is certain that once certain people in Hong Kong learn about the situation, they will definitely be very dissatisfied with the Second Young Master Lin and Lin Baiyi behind him, and may even have obvious intentions of being on guard and suppressing them.

Young Master Lin has tasted the joy of making a lot of money, and it is impossible for him to give up easily unless he is asked to take over the entire family business immediately.

And you have the power to withdraw the family wealth, otherwise don’t even think about such a good thing!
But such a situation is unlikely to happen in the short term.

Although Lin Baiyi is not young anymore, he has no intention of giving up power.

The old wealthy people in Hong Kong are all shrewd people and have a very good control over family power.

In short, as long as Lin Baiyi does not retire on his own initiative, it is basically impossible for Lin Ershao to give up the business of actively shipping goods.

At this point, the possible threat posed by Lin Baiyi has basically disappeared.

Regardless of whether Lin Baiyi takes any action or not, he must find ways to nip any possible danger in the bud, otherwise he would be too passive.

No one can guarantee how much trouble Wu Feng will suffer if Lin Baiyi deliberately targets him.

In fact, Wu Feng also vaguely heard that the sudden blockade of the Hongxing Hall in Macau Island also had the support of Lin Baiyi, but he was not sure if it was the case?
As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, otherwise why would it involve Lin Baiyi?
But now, the second young master Lin has personally joined the game, and the eldest young master Lin is in that situation. Unless Lin Baiyi is really loyal to Daiying, he has to carefully consider the consequences even if he wants to do anything.

Coincidentally, the beauty pageant has entered the final stage.

On June 18th, the final ten beauties will compete for the championship!
This day can be said to be the focus of everyone's attention!
Lin Baiyi received the invitation from ATV and agreed without much thought.

At the same time, many of Hong Kong Island’s top tycoons received invitations.

Some chose to accept it, while others ignored it.

That night, a large warehouse in Kowloon Tong, where the finals were held, was packed with people and stars were shining brightly.

Many well-known stars from Hong Kong Island, as well as celebrities and wealthy people gathered together.

At the same time, leaders of community groups with direct interests also attended the event in a grand manner.

Since the beauty pageant was held, its popularity and fame have become more than just an ordinary TV talent show, and it has even become a very shocking social phenomenon.

It can be said that the top ten contestants are already shining brightly at this time.

The popularity and traffic they gather are no less than those of top-tier celebrities.

Just thinking about how much benefit this is, it’s amazing!
Not to mention, Wu Feng will have to harvest a lot of leeks tonight!
As soon as the celebrities, wealthy people and big stars sat down, they were given a beautifully designed booklet.

The content is very simple, just a brief introduction to the rules of tonight's game!

And most importantly, there are voting cards specially tailored for them!

For example, one bronze card is equal to one hundred votes!

The price is not expensive, only HK$188, a very auspicious number.

Above the bronze card is a silver card, and one card is equivalent to a thousand votes!

The price soared tenfold to HK$1,888!

Above that are the gold card, platinum card, and the most expensive diamond card!

Equivalent to 10,000 votes, 100,000 votes and an astonishing one million votes, the prices are equally touching, reaching 18,000, 180,000 and 1.8 million!

When the distinguished guests saw the introduction, they all gasped.

I thought to myself that ATV is really shady, they want to get their fill in one go.

But none of them felt disgusted, nor did they have any thoughts of leaving early.

Isn’t this kind of gameplay tailor-made for them?
Showing off their immense wealth in front of ATV and countless audiences in Hong Kong and Macau is something they are happy to do, even more actively than doing charity.

Although doing charity can bring a lot of attention, you still have to share the profits with charitable organizations.

But now, just thinking about spending a fortune on the beauty I like makes me feel great.

The tycoons all had flushed faces, and they all planned to perform well in the next competition.

However, the rich second generation who came with them were not in a very good mood at this time.

They have a big reputation, but they don’t actually have much money!
Even if they wanted to spend lavishly, they had to ask the elders present to give them face and whether they were willing to help them save face. If they made a mistake, they would lose face. Only a few of them, either those who had built a career on their own or those who had successfully inherited the family business, were confident and eager to compete in the upcoming beauty pageant finals.

Among them are the two brothers of the Lin family!
"Hurry, hurry, bring me my checkbook!"

The leaders of the communities with direct interests involved could no longer sit still.

Although they are very unhappy about ATV's behavior of cutting leeks, they definitely do not want to embarrass themselves on TV.

If you don't give a penny, who knows how outrageous rumors will spread afterwards?

The key is that it is very likely to damage the reputation of the society!
The beauty pageant contestants recommended by our own club have all reached the final top ten. If we don’t support them well, we will really lose face.

Apart from anything else, the audience thought that the club they belonged to was just a glamorous existence.

No matter what, once the finals start, they will definitely "buy tickets to support"!
No matter what, you can't lose face. The costs you pay can be earned back from the beauty pageant contestants in the future. There is no problem with this.

Then, when the beauty pageant finals began, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV saw what it meant to be rich and powerful and to spend a lot of money just to make the beauty smile.

"Contestant number one currently has 200,000 votes!"

The host's face was flushed. Contestant No. 1 had not yet officially appeared, but someone bought two platinum cards and cast 200,000 votes for her.

At the same time, the number of votes on the electronic screen representing contestant number one is increasing at an alarming rate.

At this time, the audience's enthusiasm for telephone voting was also ignited.

Damn, who is this person? How dare he play a trick like a sneak attack?

The celebrities and wealthy people sitting in the front row all had unfriendly faces and were very dissatisfied.

This is, who are you looking down on?

"Contestant number two, 300,000 votes!"

"Contestant number four, 400,000 votes!"

Celebrities, wealthy people, and leaders of social groups all made moves as if the money was not their own.

This behavior is like opening a certain mechanism. The finals haven't really started yet, but a group of celebrities and wealthy people are secretly fighting each other, and each one is spending more extravagantly than the other.

The most exaggerated thing is that there was actually a sucker who spent a million votes!
This will cost 1.8 million, which is absolutely the most extravagant!
Wu Feng was sitting in the audience, his face beaming with joy.

Although he knew from the beginning that this act of cutting leeks would definitely be a great success.

But I didn't expect that before the "ticket shills" hidden in the audience could even take action, the group of celebrities and wealthy people started fighting among themselves. They are really a bunch of good people.

The subsequent game scenes seemed ordinary to Wu Feng, but the atmosphere was very heated.

It seemed like the audience was quite satisfied with the contestants' singing and dancing performances.

From time to time, deafening applause broke out.

As for buying voting cards for this purpose, it is really a waste of money.

The most common cards are gold cards or even platinum cards, and from time to time there will be votes for the most expensive diamond cards.

Add to that the audience in front of the TV and voting by phone, and that's a real source of money.

The beauty pageant final lasted for two and a half hours.

The atmosphere was always hot, and both the guests and the audience were excited and even excited.

Driven by such emotions, paying money is quite quick and efficient.

The final champion happened to be Li Jiaxin, the equally outstanding Chen Farong, and a top beauty supported by the community took the second and third place.

As for the other seven contestants, they either won the title of Miss Photogenic, Miss Most Charming, or Miss Most Elegant.

In short, none of the ten contestants who participated in the finals failed.

Although it's just about dividing pork, the audience thinks it's pretty good and that's how it should be done.

After all, the beauties who can participate in the finals are all top beauties, and they also have very good talents, otherwise they would not be able to make it to the end.

The most exaggerated thing is that the amount of money raised from buying voting cards alone in this beauty pageant finals reached a staggering 30 million, which is absolutely an astonishing figure.

Combined with the millions of dollars in revenue from telephone voting, ATV made a lot of money this time.

When ATV took the initiative to broadcast the numbers, the whole of Hong Kong Island was in an uproar. The news spread to thousands of households in an instant, and everyone felt incredible and stunned.

Even those celebrities and wealthy people who took the initiative to pay the money did not expect the final number to be so exaggerated.

A profit of more than 30 million is naturally nothing to them.

But they couldn't remain indifferent when they made more than 30 million in one night.

That is to say, the card was taken out at the very end. If it was taken out when the top 40 entered the top 20, ATV's revenue from this wave might have exceeded 50 million.

What does a profit of 50 million Hong Kong dollars mean?
Even Li Bancheng, the richest Chinese in Hong Kong at that time, could not take it lightly.

"This is just the beginning!"

During his closing remarks, Wu Feng declared in a domineering manner: "The commercial value of the ten finalists will definitely not be less than the cost of buying the cards tonight!"

"No matter what, the first edition of the 'Beauty Pageant' hosted by ATV has concluded successfully. There will be a second, third, and so on in the future. The contestants will definitely generate higher profits!"

After the game, he invited celebrities and wealthy people who were present to attend the celebration dinner.

"Congratulations to Takeshi. I never thought a beauty pageant show would be so well-made by ATV!"

Young Master Lin came up and congratulated him warmly, "If you need my help in the future, don't hesitate. I will do my best!"

"Mr. Lin, how many Hong Kong dollars did you spend tonight?"

Wu Feng was not polite and asked with a smile: "I can see clearly that you bought a lot of cards!"

"Not much, just over 10 million!"

Young Master Lin said unconcernedly, "It's just that the time is too short, and there aren't many contestants. Otherwise, I could have spent even more!"

"Compared to the money Takeshi earned for me, this little bit of money is nothing, just a drop in the bucket!"

"Mr. Lin is thoughtful!"

Wu Feng smiled lightly without any pretense, and said leisurely: "If there are other projects to make money in the future, I will definitely find Lin Sheng as a partner. I just want a comfortable and comfortable life!"

"Hahaha, it's a deal then. I'm serious about this!"

Young Master Lin laughed heartily, attracting the attention of Lin Baiyi and Young Master Lin who were not far away.
