Kang Jianfei attended the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, just as a guest to watch the whole process, while Zhao Yazhi went to the semi-finals to be a judge.

In terms of inviting guests and judges, it shows that Kang Jianfei's connections and background are insufficient. In the semi-finals and finals of the Miss Hong Kong contest every year, Shao Yifu can invite a group of celebrities as guests, as well as celebrities in the fashion, entertainment, and cultural circles to be judges, without even having to come forward himself. Like the 10th Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant finals, Shao Yifu even invited the gambling king He Hongsen to be a judge.

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

Fortunately, Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui still know some people, and the judges of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant semi-finals, in addition to Zhao Yazhi, also include the former manager of the program department of Jiashi, the master of the Chinese University of Chinese, and the famous Hong Kong literati Kong Yubiao (female), as well as Zhang Dezhi, vice president of Mai Rui Advertising, one of the largest advertising agencies in Hong Kong, and Pan Disheng, the owner of Disheng Jewelry Store.

There are only five judges in the semi-finals, and there are 10 judges in the finals, including Zhang Manyi, former director of Radio Television Hong Kong and deputy director of the Hong Kong Broadcasting Department, Zhang Tianai, famous ballet dancer, actor and costume designer, Zhan Delong, English educator, host and famous writer, as well as Xu Guanwen, Ma Chengkun, Zhong Jinghui, Huang Zhan, Yu Zheng and Kang Jianfei themselves.

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

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

Zhao Yazhi helped Kang Jianfei tie, but when he looked up, he saw Kang Jianfei staring at her affectionately, and at the same time he was happy and pretended to be angry: "What are you doing staring at me?" I have flowers on my face. ”

"You don't have flowers on your face," Kang Jianfei touched Zhao Yazhi's face. smiled, "But Sister Zhi, you are a delicate flower, let me never get tired of looking at it." ”

Zhao Yazhi still had resentment in his heart, and said in an unhappy tone: "I never get tired of seeing it, I haven't seen a figure for more than half a month, and I thought you forgot about me." ”

"Ahem, I've been busy at work lately." Kang Jianfei hurriedly spoke sweetly again, and finally made Zhao Yazhi laugh.

The two dragged their hands out affectionately, and Zeng Bolin saw them coming and hurriedly opened the car door.

Because I want to talk to Zhao Yazhi. Kang Jianfei finally didn't drive by himself.

"I'm afraid the semi-finals on Sister Hong Kong's side have begun." Kang Jianfei hugged Zhao Yazhi and asked Zeng Bolin, who was about to drive.

Zeng Bolin nodded and said, "It's been half an hour, and Sir Shao and Ms. Fang haven't shown up. ”

When Kang Jianfei heard this, he said with a smile: "It seems that I should only appear in the finals, otherwise it will be enough to lose my share." ”

TVB obviously didn't pay attention to the semi-finals. The judges invited did not have any weight, and Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua did not come to support in person.

But in order to compete with the ratings of Phoenix Channel. Beauty pageants held by two television stations. All were scheduled on the same day, with a difference of just over two hours. And because the live broadcast can't be subtitled, TVB recorded and broadcast it more than two hours in advance, and broadcast it in prime time in the evening after the subtitles are done.

Zhao Yazhi was worried about Kang Jianfei: "This year's Hong Kong sister is so beautiful named Gao Lihong, coupled with TVB's reform and publicity, the ratings are definitely not low." ”

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

Even Kang Jianfei had to admit that Gao Lihong at this time was really the best beauty - don't look at the photo of her wearing the laurel of Sister Hong Kong, it was too bad. (Zhang Manyu presented the award to the runner-up of the 84th Miss Hong Kong.) and when Gao Lihong presented the award for the 85 Miss Hong Kong champion, Gao Lihong's aura in the two photos simply crushed Zhang Manyu and Xie Zhan)

But it was not just Gao Lihong who made Kang Jianfei feel threatened, but a change in the concept of Miss Hong Kong's beauty pageant.

In the past, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant had the concept of paying equal attention to wisdom and beauty, so that the contestants with the most voices often fell behind in the rankings - the beauties who performed equally well in education, conversation, and performance, in order to avoid suspicion or other reasons, would always choose to give high scores to women with slightly worse appearances, and the most beautiful one was pressed down.

But this year is different, judging from the promotional content of TVB, it is known that this year's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has no scruples about "judging people by their appearance", and has put aside the "equal emphasis on beauty and wisdom" that has been emphasized.

This is also for what later generations said that 1984 was the beginning of Sister Hong Kong's prosperity, because from this year onwards, Sister Hong Kong has been in the real beauty pageant.

Fortunately, TVB takes care of the cost of publicity, and does not spare no effort on the Phoenix side to build momentum for Lizhi and Qiu Huixin, otherwise Gao Lihong, who has an outstanding appearance, may really suppress the limelight of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant.

Of course, for Kang Jianfei's publicity and hype regardless of the cost, Huang Xizhao, as the general manager of the TV station, is quite dissatisfied. According to the current scale of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, it will lose at least more than 5 million - last year, Phoenix Channel's annual net profit was only more than 9 million.

After a beauty contest is held, I am afraid that the profit of the TV station will drop by half, how can Huang Xizhao be happy?

However, in the long run, if you can make the name of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant this year, then it will be worth losing millions.

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

Although the semi-finals of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant were distracted, there were still many reporters on the scene, and many newspapers sent a few reporters to run on both sides, and both sides of the Taiping Theater and Lee Stage paid attention.

"Mr. Kang, which beauty do you like the most?"

"Ah Zhi, how do you feel when you are elected as an American judge for the first time?"

"Mr. Kang, the two beauty contests were held on the same day, are you sure that you will beat Sister Hong Kong in the ratings?"

“……”

In the pursuit of reporters, Kang Jianfei took Zhao Yazhi to the Taiping Theater and greeted the guests and judges one by one.

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

Before the semi-finals officially began, Kang Jianfei chatted with Ye Xueyan and Su Yuanyuan 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 pageant, so he took his wife over to watch the excitement. The two of them are young people who pursue fashion, and in 78 they began to hold various ladder dance parties at home, and how could they miss the fashion trend of beauty contests.

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

"Yes, it's more convenient to do business by becoming a Hong Kong citizen." Ye Xueyan replied that in fact he would prefer to become an American citizen, but if he did. Ye Laoshuai knew that he had to break his legs.

Kang Jianfei asked: "For this trivial matter of naturalization, Brother Ye shouldn't need my help." ”

"No," Ye Xueyan said with a sigh, "Those officials in Hong Kong are also brainless, so they can talk about going through the back door." I only got a green seal certificate, how embarrassing it is for you to say that this is out of the way! ”

A green-stamped document is similar to a U.S. green card. Ye Xueyan had to live in Hong Kong for seven years before he could change to a black-stamped identity card.

Kang Jianfei listened to his complaints. comforted: "Seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, Brother Ye doesn't have to mind." ”

"You just happened at the right time, and as soon as you arrived in Hong Kong, you directly took the black seal documents." Ye Xueyan said with some envy that the identity of Hong Kong people is also a bit of British foreign atmosphere, and today's Chinese people still have a very heavy mind about worshipping foreigners.

"I'm just a blind cat and a dead mouse," Kang Jianfei smiled. "Business is fine with the food company." ”

"It's not bad," Ye Xueyan said, "Now all the instant noodles in Guangzhou/Dong are produced by our Kangle Food Company." The channel has been laid to Shanghai/Hai, Bei/Beijing, Guangzhou/West and Fujian/Jian. ”

Kang Jianfei basically didn't care about the food company, except for letting people check the accounts every quarter, and 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, and two more production lines have been added, but it seems that it still can't be supplied." As for the production of ham sausages and the planning of pig farms, they can only be pushed back. ”

Kang Jianfei sweated wildly, he had only heard of the backlog of goods that could not be sold in his previous life, and it turned out that there was really such a thing as a shortage of supply. He was going to shoot some advertisements on his own so that he could make the recreation of instant noodles famous, but it seemed that he was purely a blind concern.

Ye Xueyan smiled on his face and said seriously: "Our instant noodles sell too well, and blind people know how to make instant noodles to make money." Now there are many places in the south that are ready to meet instant noodle factories, and if it weren't for the supply of production equipment and raw materials, I estimate that those township enterprises would dare to make instant noodles. ”

Regarding the situation that Ye Xueyan said, Kang Jianfei could have predicted it a long time ago. The Chinese people's science and technology tree has been full of copycat skills, such huge profits, plus there is no technical content in making instant noodles, it is strange that no one follows the trend to open an instant noodle factory.

Moreover, Kang Jianfei never thought of monopolizing the instant noodle market in the mainland, and doing so was purely seeking his own death, and the state would not allow the non-state-owned economy to monopolize a certain industry.

Kang Jianfei could only smile and say: "The money in the world is endless, so you have to leave some for others." ”

"Yes, the domestic market is too big." Ye Xueyan said that he used to think that instant noodles could not be sold in the mainland market for a few packs, and that building a factory would be able to supply instant noodles from all over the country, but as a result, the expanded production capacity of the instant noodle factory could only barely supply three provinces. With the development of the mainland's economy, there will only be more and more people who have spare money to buy instant noodles, and Ye Xueyan is excited just thinking about it.

While the two were talking, the stage of the theater suddenly became brightly lit, and the two host emcees walked behind the hosting stage. Then the lights suddenly dimmed, and only two bright lights shot backstage, pulling the beauty pageants out of the stage.

Ye Xueyan stared at the stage with his eyes, and suddenly said, "By the way, Ah Fei, didn't you say you wanted to hire a bodyguard last time?" I've got a few of them for you, all of whom are good in the military. ”

Kang Jianfei jokingly asked, "Is there a Zhongnan/Hai bodyguard?" ”

"Zhongnan/Hai Bodyguard? I am not qualified to call them," Ye Xueyan said with a smile, "Those are all bodyguards that can only be used at the level of the head of the central government, and even after they leave their posts and retire, they cannot be hired casually by individuals." (To be continued......)
