Chapter 228

"Manager Gui, Manager Gui, the general distributor in Jiangsu Province has added an order for another 50,000 Bubugao learning machines and 100,000 Bubugao home game consoles!"

In the sales department of Fenghua Group, a salesperson reported: "They hope that the goods can arrive within half a month!"

"He thinks beautifully!"

Manager Gui said angrily: "The volume of one province in Jiangsu for half a month is comparable to several other provinces!"

"There is no way, the economic strength in Jiangsu is indeed relatively strong!"

The salesperson said helplessly: "Then how should we reply?"

"Just say, no problem!"

Manager Gui changed the subject and smiled lightly: "There is no reason to push away a business that makes money!"

"That's the logic!"

The salesperson laughed along: "I really didn't expect that the Bubugao learning machine and home game console would sell so hotly. Fortunately, when the branch factory was established, considerable production capacity was reserved!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Manager Gui echoed: "Not only the learning machine and game console, but also the production of game cartridges cannot lag behind; the sales volume of that thing is even more exaggerated!"

While speaking, the phone on the desk rang, and he picked up the receiver directly.

The entire Fenghua Group is in a very busy state.

As for the busiest, it naturally belongs to the sales department.

They don't have to run around the world, but are specifically responsible for receiving distributors from all over the place, as well as those sporadic buyers who are very bold.

At the same time, they are responsible for handling after-sales matters, making more perfect after-sales services for the after-sales news of products transmitted by distributors from all over the place, and docking with R&D and production workshops.

It can be said that the sales department is the external facade of the entire Fenghua Group!

Such an important department naturally needs to be held by someone Wu Feng trusts.

The so-called "Manager Gui" is actually Wu Feng's third uncle.

There was no helping it; Hong Kong citizens were truly a bit too keen on gambling.

His own ability is also very good. After training in Fenghua Group for more than a year, following the group's rapid expansion, he has become the head of the sales department.

And with Wu Feng personally creating the outline and controlling the plot, the story was naturally quite compelling.

The protagonist was a young man from a public housing estate who was bright enough to get into high school, but unfortunately, due to various factors, he eventually dropped out without graduating and stayed home unemployed.

He was almost dragged into a triad by a childhood friend, but inadvertently dug out a tattered book of Feng Shui secrets from an old cabinet at home, and thus began his journey of a comeback.

The plot quickly developed to the point where the protagonist made his fortune through the Feng Shui secret book and then entered the gambling world.

During this period, many gambling scams were introduced, leaving readers stunned and unable to believe it.

In short, the first ten chapters were brilliant and captivating, instantly making the *God of Gamblers* novel a hit and one of the main topics of private conversation among numerous readers.

Seeing that the situation was good, Wu Feng temporarily put aside matters here.

The beauty pageant hosted by Asia Television had already entered the final sprint stage.

At this time, the beauty pageant program could be said to be the focus of the entire Hong Kong, with absolute top-tier popularity, and it needed him to personally sit in and provide guidance.

The telephone voting in cooperation with the Hong Kong Telephone Company generated hundreds of thousands, or even millions, in profit almost every day, while peripheral products like posters and postcards with voting functions were almost sold out.

Everyone at Asia Television was shocked by such popularity.

Wu Feng, however, was indifferent, feeling that Hong Kong was just too small a place.

If it were on the Mainland, a daily income of less than 10 million from telephone voting alone wouldn't even be considered passing.

He had witnessed the madness of the first *Happy Girls*, and compared to that, Asia Television's beauty pageant was still quite far behind.

Mainly, the number of middle school students in Hong Kong was limited, so it couldn't stir up much of a wave!

Plus, with the fan base of other famous singers diverting attention, the commotion that could be stirred up was naturally even smaller.

Fortunately, telephone voting, along with voting via posters and postcards, was enough to keep Asia Television's peripheral revenue at around 1.5 million per day.

This didn't even include the income from advertising sponsorships; in short, the mouths of Asia Television's top management were crooked from smiling.

Even Hong Hing's gambling hall in Macau had opened betting odds based on the progress of the competition.

In short, the popularity of the beauty pageant was shockingly high!

By the time it reached the top 40 to top 20 stage, it was no longer appropriate to keep the venue in Asia Television's studio.

Finally, a large warehouse in Kowloon Tong was selected for renovation, much like the situation with the first *Unlimited Fighting Tournament*.

Of course, Wu Feng bought this large warehouse directly; he certainly wouldn't make it cheap for others.

At the same time, at Wu Feng's signal, the triads behind the contestants from nightlife venues began to exert their strength.

Their mobilization ability could only be described as average, but they certainly had the ability to vote for the contestants.

At the same time, inciting some wealthy people and young masters to help vote was not a problem.

As a result, the competition from the top 40 to top 20 became quite intense.

The process of the competition was mainly the same old singing and dancing, which was something that couldn't be helped.

Of course, if the contestants had the ability to perform sketches or stage plays, the television station wouldn't refuse!

When the competition officially began, the thousands of seats around were completely full.

During the competition, the sounds of support and cheering were incessant.

When the results of the competition came out, the cheering and shouting almost blew the roof off the large warehouse.

The contestants who advanced to the top 20 were all full of joy, grateful that they could continue to stand in the center of the stage.

Of course, although the eliminated contestants were depressed, they weren't too sad.

Next, it was time for them to reap the fruitful results.

Especially for the contestants from nightlife venues, after returning to the venues, their value would at least skyrocket more than tenfold.

In the future, they would likely be the faces of major nightclubs!

At this moment, they could already be considered stars, having shed their previous identities as "dance misses."

Not only that, during the competition, through product promotion and peripheral development, they had already earned income ranging from hundreds of thousands to a million.

This money naturally meant nothing to the wealthy.

But for them, coming from ordinary backgrounds, it was definitely not a small sum.

As long as the triads behind them weren't too excessive in their exploitation, their future living conditions would be greatly improved, and they might even have a chance to climb the social ladder.

Don't doubt it; just from what Wu Feng knew, there were quite a few wealthy people pursuing these contestants.

As long as a few pairs were formed, that could be considered a good deed.

Of course, contestants from ordinary families basically all signed with Asia Television.

Their starting point was much higher than ordinary artists, and Asia Television naturally welcomed them very much.

As long as they kept improving, becoming regulars in television dramas or even television stars in the future was not an unreachable thing.

In fact, Hong Kong had always been relatively lacking in formal performing arts personnel.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case that television dramas were always full of familiar faces, and had been for decades.

Was it that the television station didn't want to use new faces? Obviously, that wasn't the case.

It was that new faces couldn't keep up; wanting to be an actor required a certain amount of talent, and one also had to be able to endure loneliness and slowly polish and improve oneself.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 219 =====

Don't think that more than ten yuan is not much. In this era when the average wage of state-owned enterprises is just over two hundred, a price lower by more than ten yuan is very advantageous.

"It's really shameless; we must take immediate countermeasures!"

"If such imitations are sold too much, the blow to the group's reputation will be unprecedentedly heavy!"

"Indeed, these imitation manufacturers won't care about this, but we can't ignore it!"

"It's just that everyone knows the situation in the Mainland. The guys who have the ability and capability to produce imitations are definitely not easy to target. We must be mentally prepared!"

"No matter what, we must handle this matter decisively!"

"..."

Listening to the speeches of the group's senior management one by one, the third uncle just listened carefully, without any intention of speaking directly, but his heart had long been stirred up by stormy waves.

There is no other reason; the eldest nephew had long expected that such a thing would happen.

Although the time predicted by the eldest nephew was a bit early, he had long told him the countermeasures.

If you want to put an end to such things, you can only do it through powerful institutions in the Mainland.

But why should they take action?

If there is no sufficient benefit, this kind of thing that offends people, even if it is reported to the capital of the Mainland, will not be of much use.

The Mainland in 1988 is not the Mainland twenty-something years later.

Wu Feng doesn't know much about some things, but fortunately, he has read many rebirth novels.

One of them gave a relatively reliable solution.

Learning machines and home game consoles are just a beginning; the VCD players and functional mobile phones that follow are the big ones!

At least in the Mainland, the spring of learning machines and home game consoles will basically end around 2000, when computers and the Internet have begun to become popular.

That is the situation in normal history!

In this world, with Wu Feng stirring up trouble, the development of computers and the Internet in the Mainland will only be more rapid.

He still has this certainty.

In fact, the intensity of infrastructure construction in first and second-tier cities in the Mainland is not bad.

It is fully capable of triggering an Internet wave a few years in advance!

It's just that the state's basic investment and the wage income of residents have limited the speed of Internet development in the early stage.

Of course, these are just thoughts in Wu Feng's heart, and he won't tell anyone.

How to say, these future information are the resources for his continued growth in the future.

"Manager Gui, what do you think?"

After the senior management of Fenghua Group spoke one after another, the general manager suddenly looked at the third uncle who had been silent.

"The big boss told me about this a long time ago!"

The third uncle spoke directly, instantly attracting the attention of all senior management.

Especially what he said, it is difficult for the group's senior management present not to attach importance to it.

"Once such a thing happens, with the group's ability, there is no good way out of Pengcheng!"

When the third uncle said this, his mood must still be quite depressed.

But there is no way; the current situation in the Mainland is just like this.

The competition between homogeneous enterprises in various places is quite fierce, and local governments will also actively participate in it.

In fact, even after twenty-something years, some things are still unavoidable.

These, the group's senior management present know in their hearts!

The previous speeches were all a kind of statement, at least to set the position in terms of attitude.

Group meetings like this are all recorded and will be sent to Hong Kong for the big boss to view later.

"So, the big boss's solution is very simple!"

The third uncle said slowly: "Since you can't stop it, don't stop it!"

"We cultivate our own close related enterprises, preferably forming an interest alliance!"

"And the best partners are those military industrial enterprises that are in difficulty and are in the process of transformation!"

As soon as this was said, the group's senior management present was in an uproar.

For a time, everyone said something, but in the end, everyone reached a unified opinion: agree with the big boss's proposal!

They thought about it, although they were very unwilling in their hearts, they had to say that cooperating with military industrial enterprises is indeed the best choice at the moment.

If nothing else, the technical strength of military industrial enterprises is definitely not bad!

On the other hand, the energy of military industrial enterprises is also unquestionable!

Once a certain product with a certain technical content forms an interest alliance with a military industrial enterprise, it is quite easy to ensure market share.

Most importantly, it saves too much unnecessary trouble.

Of course, wanting to eat alone like before is absolutely impossible.

Even, whether the market share that can be allocated in the end is one-fifth of the current one is hard to say.

These, the senior management of Fenghua Group also brought up.

It is both a normal senior management discussion and a kind of explanation given to the big boss in advance.

If the sales of learning machines and game consoles suddenly decline, it has little to do with them.

"Everyone, don't worry!"

The third uncle smiled and spoke: "In fact, the big boss and I have already talked about these things!"

"He doesn't have too many requirements for the sales share of learning machines and game consoles in the Mainland!"

"As long as we can maintain the status of an industry giant, it will be fine. Wanting to eat alone is absolutely unrealistic. The key is the development and production of game cartridges!"

"That thing is our magic weapon for victory!"

The senior management of Fenghua Group heard this and suddenly realized.

The price of game cartridges, compared to learning machines and home game consoles, is naturally nothing, but it is important.

As long as the group's game R&D department can continuously produce game cartridges with a certain playability, the group will be invincible.

At the very least, before a large number of the Mainland's own related game R&D enterprises appear, Fenghua Group's advantage is quite obvious.

As for foreign cartridge games, if they want to enter the Mainland smoothly, they have to ask if Fenghua Group agrees.

"The big boss said very clearly that the main sales direction of our group's learning machines and game consoles is still the vast Southeast Asian market. Isn't it fragrant to earn dollars directly?"
