Kang Jianfei attended the Miss Oriental beauty pageant only as a guest to watch the whole process, while Zhao Yazhi went to the semi-finals as a judge. [;Starting]

In terms of inviting guests and judges, it shows that Kang Jianfei's network and background are insufficient. In the semi-finals and finals of the annual Miss Hong Kong contest, Shao Yifu can invite a group of celebrities as guests, as well as celebrities in fashion, entertainment, and culture to be judges without even having to come forward. For example, in the tenth Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant final, Shao Yifu even invited the gambling king He Hongsen to be a judge.

Although Kang Jianfei has a lot of influence in Hong Kong now, his influence is concentrated in the film circle and the music scene. He doesn't know a few celebrities, and he doesn't have much contact with people in the cultural world.

Fortunately, Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui also know some people. In addition to Zhao Yazhi, the judges for the semi-finals of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant include the former Jiashi program manager, a master degree from the Chinese University, a famous Hong Kong literati Kong Yubiao (female), and Hong Kong's largest literati. Zhang Dezhi, vice president of Mairui Advertising, one of the advertising companies, Pan Disheng, owner of Disheng Jewelry, and others.

There are only five judges in the semi-finals, and there are ten judges in the finals. The invited judges for the finals are Zhang Minyi, the former director of Radio Television Hong Kong and deputy director of the Hong Kong Broadcasting Office, and Zhang Tianai, a famous ballet dancer, dancer and costume designer. Educator, host, famous writer Zhan Delong, and Xu Guanwen, Ma Chengkun, Zhong Jinghui, Huang Zhan, Yu Zheng and Kang Jianfei himself.

"Tie!" Zhao Yazhi chased after Kang Jianfei, who had already left, and forcibly tied a tie around his neck.

Kang Jianfei looked at Zhao Yazhi, who was earnestly helping him tie a bow tie. Although he was almost 30 years old, he still had smooth skin that could be broken by a bullet, and his delicate little face couldn't help but make one want to take a bite.

Zhao Yazhi helped Kang Jianfei to tie his tie, but when he looked up, he saw Kang Jianfei staring at her affectionately. While happy, he pretended to be angry and said, "What are you staring at me for? I have flowers on my face."

"You don't have any flowers on your face," Kang Jianfei said while touching Zhao Yazhi's face, "but Sister Zhi, you are such a delicate flower that I will never tire of seeing you."

Zhao Yazhi still has grievances in his heart. In a displeased tone, he said, "I can't get tired of watching it. I haven't seen anyone for more than half a month. I thought you forgot me."

"Ahem, I've been busy with work recently." Kang Jianfei hurriedly spoke again and again before finally making Zhao Yazhi laugh.

The two hugged each other affectionately and went out. Zeng Bolin saw them coming. Quickly open the door.

Because he wanted to talk to Zhao Yazhi, Kang Jianfei finally did not drive by himself.

"I'm afraid the semi-finals over Miss Hong Kong have already started." Kang Jianfei put his arms around Zhao Yazhi and asked Zeng Bolin who was about to drive.

Zeng Bolin nodded and said, "It's been half an hour. Neither Sir Shao nor Madam Fang showed up."

When Kang Jianfei heard it, he laughed: "It seems that I should have appeared during the finals, otherwise I would have lost my share."

TVB obviously did not pay attention to the semi-finals, and the judges they invited had no weight, and Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua did not appear to support them in person.

However, in order to compete with the ratings of Phoenix TV, the beauty pageants held by the two TV stations were arranged to be held on the same day, with only a difference of more than two hours before and after. And because the live broadcast cannot be subtitled, TVB was only recorded more than two hours in advance. After the subtitles are done, it will be broadcast in prime time at night.

Zhao Yazhi worried for Kang Jianfei: "This year's Hong Kong sister has a beautiful girl named Gao Lihong. Coupled with TVB's reform and publicity, the ratings will definitely not be low."

Forced by the crazy hype of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, TVB's publicity is also full of energy, and the mixed-race beauty Gao Lihong has received great attention.

Even Kang Jianfei has to admit that Gao Lihong at this time is really a top beauty - don't look at the photo of her wearing the crown of Hong Kong sister. It's too crap. (When Zhang Manyu awarded the 1st runner-up for Miss Hong Kong in 1984, and when Gao Lihong awarded the first prize for Miss Hong Kong in 1985, the aura of Gao Lihong in the two photos simply crushed Zhang Manyu and Xie Wei)

But it wasn't just Gao Lihong that made Kang Jianfei feel threatened, but the change in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant concept.

The previous Miss Hong Kong pageant was based on the idea of ​​placing equal emphasis on wisdom and beauty. So much so that the contestants who are the most vocal about winning the championship often lag behind—beauties whose education, conversation, and performance are equally good. In order to avoid suspicion or other reasons, the judges will always choose to give high marks to women with slightly poorer appearances, and the most beautiful one will rank instead. pressed down.

But this year is different. Judging from tvb's promotional content, we know that this year's Miss Hong Kong pageant has no scruples about "judging people by appearance", and has put aside the emphasis on "beauty and wisdom" that has always been emphasized.

This is why later generations said that 1984 was the beginning of Miss Hong Kong's prosperous period, because from this year, Miss Hong Kong was in the real beauty pageant.

Fortunately, TVB took care of the cost of publicity, and Phoenix did not spare no effort to build momentum for Lizhi and Qiu Huixin, otherwise the outstanding Gao Lihong might really suppress the limelight of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant.

Of course, Huang Xizhao, as the general manager of the TV station, is quite dissatisfied with Kang Jianfei's hype regardless of the cost. According to the current scale of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, there will be at least a loss of more than 5 million yuan - last year, the net profit of Phoenix Television was only more than 9 million yuan.

If a beauty pageant is held, the TV station's profit will drop by half. How can Huang Xizhao be happy?

However, from a long-term perspective, if the Miss Oriental beauty pageant can be won this year, it will be worth the loss of millions.

More than half an hour later, Kang Jianfei and Zhao Yazhi finally came to the Taiping Theater, where the semi-finals of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant were held.

Although it was distracted by the semi-finals of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, there were still many reporters on the scene. Many newspapers sent several reporters to run on both sides, and both Taiping Theatre and Lee Stage paid attention.

"Mr. Kang, which beau are you most optimistic about?"

"Azhi, how did you feel when you were elected to the US judges for the first time?"

"Mr. Kang, the two beauty contests are held on the same day. Are you sure you can beat Miss Hong Kong in terms of ratings?"

"..."

During the siege by reporters, Kang Jianfei brought Zhao Yazhi to the Taiping Theater to greet all the guests and judges one by one.

Today's judges, except Zhao Yazhi and Pan Disheng, other Kang Jianfei met for the first time. After a little chat, Kang Jianfei ran to the guest seat and sat down, while Zhao Yazhi sat in the front of the judges seat.

Before the semi-finals officially started, Kang Jianfei chatted with Ye Xueyan and Su Yuanyuan and his wife next to him: "I heard that Brother Ye wants to transfer to Hong Kong?"

Ye Xueyan came back from the mainland just now and heard that Kang Jianfei was going to hold a beauty contest. So I took my wife over to watch the fun. The two of them are young people who are pursuing fashion. In 1978, they began to hold various ladder dance parties at home. How can they miss this fashionable beauty pageant.

Su Yuanyuan was looking strangely at the emcee who was already seated on the stage, and didn't pay attention to what the two men were talking about.

"Yeah, it's easier to do business if you become a Hong Kong citizen," Ye Xueyan replied. In fact, he prefers to become a citizen of the United States. But if he did that, Old Shuai Ye knew that he had to break his leg.

Kang Jianfei asked, "Brother Ye shouldn't need my help for the trivial matter of becoming a Hong Kong citizen."

"No need." Ye Xueyan said with a sigh, "Those who are officials in Hong Kong are also dead brains. At any rate, they go through the back door and only get green stamped certificates. How embarrassing you say that it is spread out!"

The green-stamped certificate is similar to the US green card, and Ye Xueyan had to live in Hong Kong for seven years before changing to a black-stamped ID card.

Hearing his complaints, Kang Jianfei comforted him: "Seven years will pass in a blink of an eye, Brother Ye, don't mind."

"It's just the right time for you, as soon as you arrive in Hong Kong, you get the black stamped certificate." Ye Xueyan said with some envy. The identity of Hong Kong people is also a little bit of British style, and today's Chinese people still have a very heavy heart.

"I'm just a blind cat and a dead mouse," Kang Jianfei asked with a laugh, "Is the business at the food company okay?"

"It's not bad," Ye Xueyan said. "Now all the instant noodles in Guangdong/East are produced by our Kangle Food Company, and the channels have been laid in Shanghai/Shanghai, Beijing/Beijing, Guangzhou/Xi and Fujian/Jian."

Kang Jianfei basically didn't care about the food company except for people to check the accounts every quarter. He asked, "Why haven't other provinces sold it?"

Ye Xueyan said with emotion: "The production can't keep up. The factory in Shenzhen/Shenzhen has just been expanded. Two more production lines have been added, but it seems that the supply is still not enough. As for the production of ham sausage, what are the plans for a pig farm? , it can only be pushed back.”

Kang Jianfei was sweating madly. In his last life, he only heard about the backlog of goods that could not be sold. He had planned to shoot some commercials himself in order to spread the fame of Kangle instant noodles. It seemed that he was completely careless.

Ye Xueyan smiled and said solemnly: "Our instant noodles are selling so well, even blind people know how to make instant noodles to make money. Now there are many places in the south that are ready to see instant noodle factories. If it weren't for the problems of production equipment and raw material supply, I guess Those township enterprises dare to make instant noodles.”

In fact, Kang Jianfei could have expected the situation that Ye Xueyan said. The Chinese people's technology tree has been filled with cottage skills. With such huge profits, plus there is no technical content in making instant noodles, it is strange that no one follows the trend to open instant noodle factories.

Moreover, Kang Jianfei never thought of monopolizing the instant noodle market in the mainland. To do so is purely seeking death. The state will not allow non-state-owned economies to monopolize a certain industry.

Kang Jianfei could only laugh and say, "There is no end to the money in the world, so you have to leave some for others."

"Yeah, the domestic market is too big." Ye Xueyan said with feeling, he used to think that instant noodles could not sell a few packs in the mainland market~lightnovelpub.net~ Building a factory can supply instant noodles all over the country, and the result is instant noodles The factory's production capacity after the expansion can only barely supply three provinces. With the development of the mainland economy, there will only be more and more people who have spare money to buy instant noodles. Ye Xueyan is excited when he thinks about it.

While the two were talking, the lights on the stage of the theater suddenly brightened, and the two emcees walked behind the stage. Then the lights suddenly dimmed, and only two strong beams of light shot toward the backstage, leading the beauty pageants to appear.

Ye Xueyan stared at the stage and suddenly said, "By the way, Fei, didn't you say you wanted to hire bodyguards last time? I asked you to find a few for you, all of them are good players in the army."

Kang Jianfei asked jokingly, "Are there any Zhongnan/Hai bodyguards?"

"Zhongnan/Hai bodyguards? I'm not qualified to use them," Ye Xueyan said with a smile. "Those are bodyguards that can only be used at the level of the head of the central government. Even after they resign and retire, they cannot be hired casually."

Khan, Ye Xueyan's name, I have called Ye Xueping a few chapters.
