Chapter 224: Cutting Leeks

It's strange to say!

The clothing trade situation in Pengcheng and Yangcheng was excellent, and the trendy clothing here was sold directly to all parts of the country through railways and highways, and many people became rich because of this.

The private clothing factories here were developing fiercely, but as soon as the trendy clothing produced went offline, it was quickly loaded onto cars and turned into rolling cash flow.

However, the numerous state-owned clothing factories in Yangcheng were operating with difficulty and were in a precarious situation.

They were still producing old-fashioned clothing according to the planned model, and this stuff was very hard to sell now.

Naturally, they lost money for every batch they produced, and with heavy historical and personnel burdens, life was naturally quite difficult.

Then, the spokesperson found by the second young master Lin only spent a few million Hong Kong dollars to take down a medium-sized clothing factory in Yangcheng.

Afterward, they immediately pulled a few 70% new pieces of equipment from Hong Kong, and after a short adjustment, they quickly started production.

Well, they were producing premium A-grade clothing, not the brand-name clothing of the Lin family's clothing company.

By the time the second young master Lin received the definite news, two batches of newly produced premium A-grade clothing had already been transported to the port by car and loaded onto a ship.

"It's really cheap!"

Hearing the production cost stated on the phone, even he couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder everyone pulled goods from the Mainland; damn it, it really had a cost advantage.

Just following Guanzaisen's suggestion and going through the normal customs process, the profit was quite astonishing.

Ahem, Guanzaisen was also crossing the river by feeling the stones of Wu Feng, imitating it quite thoroughly.

Wu Feng's style in the Mainland, he learned 70% or 80% of it, mainly focusing on being honest and dutiful.

Just right, some of Wu Feng's related remarks, he had also heard of.

Therefore, facing the second young master Lin's inquiry, he answered quite steadily.

Just as Wu Feng said, there was no need to play any clever tricks; just follow the normal process to go through customs, and wait for the goods to be successfully loaded onto the sea ship.

"Brother Sen did a good job!"

After receiving the news, Wu Feng was very satisfied with Guanzaisen's performance.

After communicating with Jiang Tiansheng and Han Bin, he decided to give Wo Shing certain support.

In fact, it was supporting Wo Shing's goods-running business.

This time, the second young master Lin was thoroughly dragged into the water.

Don't think that he played the trick of using an agent, and he could really muddle through.

Are you kidding?

Wu Feng could be sure that once certain existences in Hong Kong understood the situation, they would be quite dissatisfied with the second young master Lin and even Lin Baiyi behind him, and even have obvious thoughts of precaution and suppression.

And the second young master Lin had tasted the fun of making a lot of money; wanting him to easily give up the goods-running business was simply impossible, unless he was allowed to immediately accept all the family businesses.

And possess the power to withdraw family wealth, otherwise don't even think about such a good thing!

But such a situation was unlikely to happen in the short term.

Although Lin Baiyi's age was not small, he didn't intend to let go of power.

The old-school wealthy people in Hong Kong were all human spirits, and their control over family power was quite in place.

In short, as long as Lin Baiyi didn't take the initiative to retire, the second young master Lin basically couldn't give up the goods-running business he initiated.

By this time, the possible threat of Lin Baiyi could basically be considered to have disappeared.

Regardless of whether Lin Baiyi had any actions, he had to think of ways to strangle the possible danger in the cradle; otherwise, it would be too passive.

Who could guarantee how much trouble Lin Baiyi would bring to Wu Feng once he deliberately targeted him?

In fact, Wu Feng also vaguely heard that the sudden targeting of Hong Hing's gambling hall by that person in Macau also had traces of Lin Baiyi's pushing; it was just unclear if that was the case?

The so-called "no wind, no waves"; otherwise, why would it be linked to Lin Baiyi?

But it was good now; the second young master Lin personally entered the game, and the eldest young master Lin was in such a situation; unless Lin Baiyi was really loyal to the Great Britain, he would have to weigh the consequences even if he wanted to do something.

Just right, the beauty pageant had entered the final stage of the grand final.

On June 18th, the final ten beauties competed for the championship!

This day could be said to be the focus of all attention!

Lin Baiyi received the invitation from Asia Television and didn't think much before agreeing.

At the same time, many top wealthy people in Hong Kong received invitations.

Some chose to accept, while others ignored it.

This evening, the large warehouse in Kowloon Tong, which was the venue for the grand final, could be said to be crowded and shining with starlight.

Many well-known big stars and wealthy people in Hong Kong gathered together.

At the same time, the triad Dragon Heads with direct interest were also grandly present.

The beauty pageant had been held until now, and whether it was popularity or human traffic, it was no longer as simple as an ordinary television talent show, and had even become a quite shocking social phenomenon.

It could be said that as the top ten contestants, the beauties were already shining with starlight at this time.

The popularity and traffic they gathered were not inferior to first-line big stars.

How much benefit was this? Everyone knew it was quite astonishing!

Not to mention, Wu Feng was going to harvest a wave of leeks tonight!

The famous wealthy people and big stars had just sat down when they received a beautifully styled booklet.

The content inside was very simple: it was just a simple introduction to the competition rules for tonight!

And most importantly, the voting cards specially tailored for them!

For example, a bronze card was worth 100 votes!

The price wasn't expensive, just 188 Hong Kong dollars, a very auspicious number.

Above the bronze card was the silver card, one card equal to 1,000 votes!

The price soared tenfold, reaching 1,888 Hong Kong dollars!

Above that were the gold card and platinum card, as well as the most expensive diamond card!

Equivalent to 10,000 votes, 100,000 votes, and an astonishing 1 million votes, the prices were equally touching, reaching 18,000, 180,000, and 1.8 million!

The VIPs saw the introduction and couldn't help but gasp.

They thought Asia Television was really black-hearted; this was wanting to eat its fill in one go.

But they didn't feel any disgust, and even less did they have the idea of leaving early.

Wasn't this kind of play tailored for them?

In front of Asia Television and countless Hong Kong and Macau viewers, showing off their own abundant wealth was also something they were willing to do, and it was even more active than doing charity.

Doing charity, although the limelight wasn't small, still had to be shared with charitable organizations.

But right now, throwing a thousand gold for the beauties they fancied, just thinking about it felt awesome.

One by one, the tycoons were full of red light, all planning to perform well in the upcoming beauty pageant final.

The rich second generations who came with them, however, were not in a beautiful mood at this time.

Their names were not small, but they really didn't have much money in their hands!

Even if they wanted to throw a thousand gold, they had to ask the elders who came with them if they would give them face and if they were willing to help them pay to raise their face; if they were not careful, they would lose a lot of face.

It was only a few, or those who had already fought out a career, or those who had already successfully taken over, who were full of confidence and eager to try for the upcoming beauty pageant final.

Among them were the two brothers of the Lin family!

"Quick, quick, quick, bring my checkbook!"

The triad Dragon Heads with direct interest couldn't sit still either.

Although they were very unhappy with Asia Television's move to cut leeks, they absolutely didn't want to lose face on television.

If they didn't pull out a single hair, who knew how many outrageous rumors would spread afterward?

The key was that it was very likely to damage the reputation of the triad!

The beauty pageant contestant pushed out by their own triad had already walked to the final top ten stage; if they didn't support her well, they would really lose a lot of face.

To say nothing else, the viewers would think that the triad they were in was just an existence with a shiny exterior.

Regardless, after the final started, they must "buy votes to support"!

No matter what, they couldn't lose face; the costs paid for these would all be earned back from the beauty pageant contestants in the future; this point was not a problem.

Then, after the beauty pageant final started, the viewers on the scene and in front of the television set witnessed what it meant to be wealthy and arrogant, throwing a thousand gold just to make the beauty smile.

"Contestant No. 1, the current vote count is 200,000!"

The host was full of red light; at this time, Contestant No. 1 hadn't officially appeared yet, but someone had already bought two platinum cards and cast 200,000 votes for her.

At the same time, the vote count on the electronic screen representing Contestant No. 1 was rising at an astonishing speed.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the viewers for telephone voting was also ignited.

Damn it, who is this, actually daring to play a sneak attack like this?

The famous wealthy people sitting in the front row were all looking unkind and very dissatisfied in their hearts.

This is looking down on whom?

"Contestant No. 2, 300,000 votes!"

"Contestant No. 4, 400,000 votes!"

One by one, the famous wealthy people and triad Dragon Heads took action, as if the money wasn't their own.

Such a style was as if a mechanism had been opened; the grand final hadn't really started yet, but the group of famous wealthy people started fighting among themselves first, one spending more exaggeratedly than the other.

What was most exaggerated was that a sucker actually threw out 1 million votes directly!

This required spending 1.8 million; it was absolutely a tycoon among tycoons!

Wu Feng sat in the audience, his face full of joy at this time.

Although from the beginning, he knew that this leek-cutting behavior would be a great success.

It was just that he didn't expect that before he let the "vote-takers" hidden in the audience take action, the group of famous wealthy people would fight among themselves first; they were really a group of good people.

The subsequent plot of the competition, in Wu Feng's view, could only be considered ordinary, but it couldn't stand the hot atmosphere on the scene.

It seemed that the audience on the scene was quite satisfied with the singing and dancing performance of the contestants.

From time to time, deafening applause rang out.

As for the existences who bought cards to vote, they really didn't treat money as money.

It was either gold cards or even platinum cards, and from time to time, the most expensive diamond card votes appeared.

Added to the viewers in front of the television, through telephone voting, it was really rolling wealth.

This beauty pageant grand final lasted for two and a half hours before it ended.

The atmosphere was always in a hot state, and the moods of both the guests and the audience on the scene were always in an excited and even manic state.

Driven by such emotions, taking out money was also quite crisp and neat.

The champion who finally won was Li Jiaxin, and the equally brilliant Chen Farong, as well as a top beauty supported by the triad, were the runner-up and second runner-up.

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

In short, the ten beauties who participated in the final were not left out.

Although it was "dividing the pork," the viewers felt it was quite good, and it should be done this way.

After all, the beauties who could participate in the final were all top beauties, and their own talents were quite good; otherwise, they wouldn't have walked to the end.

What was most exaggerated was that this beauty pageant final alone, through the funds of buying cards to vote, reached an astonishing 30 million; it was absolutely an astonishing number.

Added to the millions in revenue from telephone voting, Asia Television made a fortune this time.

When Asia Television took the initiative to broadcast the numbers, the entire Hong Kong was shocked, and the news instantly spread to every household, and everyone felt incredible and stunned.

Even those famous wealthy people who took the initiative to pay didn't expect the final number to be so exaggerated.

The revenue of over 30 million naturally meant nothing to them.

But earning over 30 million in one night, even they couldn't be indifferent.

It was just that the cards were only taken out at the end; if they had been taken out during the top 40 to top 20, I'm afraid Asia Television's revenue this time might have exceeded 50 million.

What was the concept of 50 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue?

Even Li Bancheng, the richest Chinese in Hong Kong at this time, couldn't ignore it.

"This is just a beginning!"

When making the concluding speech, Wu Feng declared quite domineeringly: "The commercial value of the ten beauties who participated in the final will absolutely not be less than the cost of buying cards tonight!"

"Regardless, the first *Beauty Pageant* hosted by Asia Television has successfully come to an end, and there will be a second, third, and so on in the future; the contestants will definitely create higher revenue!"

After the competition ended, he invited the famous wealthy people who came to the scene to attend the celebration banquet.

"Congratulations, Wu. I didn't expect a beauty pageant program to be played out by Asia Television!"

Lin Dashao took the initiative to come up and congratulated him quite affectionately: "If you need me to help in the future, don't be stingy; I will do it well!"

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

Wu Feng didn't stand on ceremony and asked back with a smile: "I saw it clearly; you bought quite a few cards!"

"Not much, just spent over 10 million!"

Lin Dashao said indifferently: "It's just that the time was too short, and the number of beauty pageant contestants was not many; otherwise, I could have spent more!"

"Compared to the money Wu helped me earn, this little expense is nothing; it's just a drop in the bucket!"

"Mr. Lin has a heart!"

Wu Feng smiled lightly and didn't pretend, saying leisurely: "If there are other projects to make a fortune in the future, I will definitely find Mr. Lin to partner; what I want is comfort and ease!"

"Hahaha, then it's settled; I'm going to take it seriously!"

Lin Dashao laughed quite happily, attracting the side-eyes of Lin Baiyi and the second young master Lin not far away.
