The King of Chefs Qualifying Contest is broadcast live across the Federation. Not only that, but in order to expand its influence, all citizens can devote themselves to this culinary carnival.

Citizens of each city-state can vote for their favorite chef. And, official bets can be made. Every citizen can make a bet on the chef he supports. Then, according to the different odds of each chef, the corresponding prize will be awarded.

At the same time, if a chef fails, if there are enough people who support him. That is, as long as the public rewards the chef, the chef's fan value will be increased accordingly.

In each competition, the chefs with the highest fan value will be eligible to be resurrected and challenged again. As for the benefit of fans, that is, if you tip the top 10, you will get a table of food cooked by the chef himself.

It can be said that this is a festival of national carnival.

Li Qingming was stunned when he heard Liu Chang's introduction.

"I thought Michelin was just a simple food magazine, but I never thought that there were so many ways to make profits!" Li Qingming exclaimed.

"Michelin also needs to operate. Naturally, they will try their best to make money. Liu Chang smiled and said, "Moreover, there is nothing bad about being able to attract the audience and increase the audience's participation! Therefore, I also pressed 1 million on Son Masayoshi this year!"

1 million? Li Qingming pouted.

"Actually, we can stake all the company's funds, and the Chinese cuisine that justice has mastered is by no means something that other chefs can stop!" Li Qingming said with a smile.

"Qingming, do you know what the odds of justice are now?" asked Liu Chang.

"How much?" asked Li Qingming.

"100 to 1!" Liu Chang looked helpless, "I bet 1 million to pay me 10,000 yuan, the odds are too low, and the risk is relatively too big." 1 million is my personal support. If you bet all the company's money, it's not the right choice!"

When Li Qingming heard this, he was also shocked. This odds are really not ordinarily low.

100 to 1, which is basically not very profitable. If it were him, he wouldn't be willing to bet on it. Because, the risk capital ratio is not cost-effective. After all, there is no such thing as a sure win in this world, in case something happens.

"What about the others?" asked Li Qingming.

"The second place is the chef who competed for the chef last time, named Fang Tianming, 36 years old this year, with excellent cooking skills, and his odds are 2:9. Liu Chang said.

Later, Liu Chang also introduced the rest of the chefs one after another, and the odds were very high, but Sun Zhengyi alone had odds of 100:1, which was almost a desperate odds.

"It's also normal. He is your apprentice, and you are so confident that you threaten to compete with a whole chicken feast. The odds are naturally low. If you don't, then Son's odds might be high. However, I personally am not in favor of making such a bet with the company's money. That's not what a company should do. It's ridiculous to put your hopes in betting. Liu Chang said.

Li Qingming nodded. In this regard, Liu Chang is far better than himself in terms of experience and experience. Li Qingming will no longer be arrogant in this regard.

"By the way, how popular is Justice?" asked Li Qingming curiously.

"Well..."Liu Chang was slightly embarrassed.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, Son came over.

"Master, I'm ashamed that I haven't found the three things you said. "Masayoshi Son is fully dressed and about to appear.

"Okay, your senior sister has to worry about this, so you don't have to worry about it! Come on!" Li Qingming said with a smile, "This is the preliminary round, so naturally there is no problem." ”

"Come on, junior brother!" Qin Heqin clenched his fists.

Son nodded, and then went on the field.

After the game, there was a boo all around.

"Shame, get off!" someone shouted.

"Yes, get down, traitor, get down!" shouted all around, one after another.

Li Qingming frowned.

"This time, someone used an off-the-board trick to discredit justice. Therefore, his current popularity value is very low, and the rest of the chefs who have the strength to go to the end have a popularity value of hundreds of thousands, but justice, so far, has not exceeded 100. Liu Chang said.

Of course, they can spend money to help Son increase his popularity. However, in this regard, Michelin is darker. These popularity points are made with real money.

However, as a chef, you can only get a third. The remaining two-thirds, half of which is obtained by Michelin. The other half is the funding for the King Chef Qualifiers.

Before this, Michelin had already made money. Exclusivity, it can be said that every year, Michelin can make a lot of money. Of course, this also needs to be divided with major consortia. After all, Michelin itself does not have the strength to host such a grand event in the entire 500 cities of the Federation at the same time.

Therefore, Michelin cooperates with the consortium of major city-states. After deducting the relevant operating expenses, it will be divided in half between the two parties.

In other words, this operating expense has been removed. But in terms of tips, you still have to receive it once. In this regard, Liu Chang can only say that mastering exclusive resources is domineering.

Naturally, in this case, I tipped myself, and two-thirds of the money went into the Michelin pocket. It's not a good deal. What's more, in Liu Chang's view, Son Zhengyi's strength is overwhelming. In this case, what are you afraid of if your popularity is low? After all, this is ultimately a competition that relies on strength, and it is not about who is beautiful and who is popular.

Li Qingming nodded.

But then, Li Qingming directly rewarded 1 million in it!

Son's popularity has soared from the initial 67 to 1 million 67!

Liu Chang was stupid!

"Qingming, this, it's not cost-effective!" Liu Chang was a little difficult to understand.

This time, I lost 670,000!

"It's okay, I don't care about this money!" Li Qingming smiled.

This month has passed, and the federal royalties for the first 'golden fried rice' have arrived, which is not very much, but it is close to 10 million. And, according to Michelin's feedback, this number will grow as the public likes the golden fried rice. In particular, when you find that this golden fried rice, if you fry it at home and take it to the company or school and other places to eat, the taste will be much worse.

In this case, the business of the restaurant is now starting to pick up. Naturally, the royalties are high. Of course, what makes Michelin vomit a little blood is that the "chicken soup for the soul" is simpler and has almost no loss of taste as long as it is kept warm.

So the current situation is that many families make their own chicken soup at home to take away. When eating, just buy a golden fried rice outside. As a result, the copyright fee of Li Qingming's 'Golden Fried Rice' is very high, with nearly 10 million in the first month, and it is easy to break through 10 million in the future. In the next three years, Li Qingming will be able to earn at least 500 million yuan through copyright fees.

But chicken soup for the soul is tragic. Last month, the entire "Michelin" only collected no more than 120,000 royalties. Although this money was donated by Li Qingming to Michelin, let Michelin help do charity.

Michelin veteran doesn't have to spend a penny. But that's also too little for money. This is charity, the people don't care if you make money or not, they only know that everyone is drinking chicken soup for the soul, the federation is so famous, this money is definitely better than money. You Michelin used it for charity, but only a little money, isn't this dark!

So, Michelin is depressed right now. Contribute your own money to charity to avoid damage to your reputation. After all, Michelin relies on fame to maintain its influence. Once the reputation is damaged, it is like a mountain of defeat, and it will collapse in an instant.

The most depressing thing is that they still owe Li Qingming a favor. This time, it's a big loss.

Of course, this amount of money can only be regarded as a small amount for Michelin. It's just that it doesn't feel good.

Li Qingming is naturally the biggest beneficiary.

In this private account, there are nearly 10 million. Thinking that in the future, he will only earn more money every month, and Li Qingming is naturally bold. As for this private account, it is really thanks to Qin Heluo. A few days after Qin Heluo got it done, Michelin asked Li Qingming about his private account. Before, Li Qingming gave it to Uncle Xiang.

Michelin didn't know it at first. When I was preparing to transfer money, I found that the account information was incorrect. Therefore, Li Qingming was asked to provide a personal account number. In this regard, Michelin is extremely rigorous.

If Qin Heluo didn't help, not only would the money not be able to arrive, but I am afraid that Li Qingming's identity and origin would be doubtful. What will happen then is impossible to predict.

Here, Li Qingming suddenly brushed up Sun Zhengyi's popularity, and the big screen in the square over there was immediately displayed.

Those who scolded before, this time, scolded even louder.

"Shameless Sun Zhengyi, get down!" everyone shouted.

"Plagiarizing Master Li's golden fried rice, how can such a big liar still be qualified to come to power!"

"Get down!" Son Masayoshi, get down!" everyone shouted.

"They don't know, is Son Zhengyi my apprentice?" Li Qingming pinched his chin.

"You should know. But now there are rumors that you were deceived by Masayoshi Son, and some people say that you are also a liar, but you conspired with Masayoshi Son to direct this authentic trick of golden fried rice, in short, during this time, there are all kinds of rumors outside. You don't know?" Liu Chang was surprised.

"Well, I don't know! I've been studying this whole chicken feast with Son Masayoshi for the past few days, trying to make it taste more delicious. So, I didn't pay attention!" Li Qingming shrugged.

"It doesn't matter. The key is strength. Moreover, Michelin still believes in you. That's fine!" Liu Chang also looked indifferent.

These are just the tricks of some clowns, which shows that they are afraid. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used this kind of boring off-the-board trick. In the end, Masayoshi Son can win!
