196 Hong Kong sister audition
On May 30, 1976, under the attention of countless media, Chan Chi-man and six other people were awarded this year's Justices of the Peace Medal to commemorate their contributions to Hong Kong's economy, politics and people's livelihood.
Repulse Bay, Chen's Villa:
"Wow, this is the Justices of the Peace, huh? Isn't it golden? "My mother Wu Xiuling was the first to run over to see the medal after seeing Chen Zhiwen go home.
"It's supposed to be gold-plated, it doesn't feel that heavy." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, gold is a very dense metal, the same size of gold is about 2.5 times that of iron, normal people will find out if it is real gold when they touch the weight, the larger the easier it is to find the abnormality, unless it is replaced by tungsten with similar density.
"The Hong Kong government is too stingy, and there is not much money for such a big amount of gold." Wu Xiuling doesn't really care about pure gold, mainly the medal of pure gold, which seems to be more valuable in meaning.
"Don't think about the medal of pure gold, in the British colonies, only some medals issued by the queen can be pure gold, and the Governor MacLehose doesn't know if he can get one after he retires." Chen Tianfu, who knows Hong Kong better, walked over with a smile.
"It's actually more about identity." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, the JP is somewhat similar to the deputies of the People's Congress of later generations, although there are many differences in function, but they are the limit of ordinary people in the ZZ, and this thing also has a certain protective effect.
"Yes, but it's not that important to you." Chen Tianfu smiled and said.
Ordinary businessmen can naturally use the identity of a Justice of the Peace to develop their careers, not to mention others, just this popularity can make it easier for partners to trust him, and the bank has a better impression, but for Chen Zhiwen, whose career has reached his current status, the identity of a Justice of the Peace can only be said to be better than nothing.
"Then unless you are like Bao Yugang, you have friendships all over the world." Chen Zhiwen said.
Among the many businessmen in Hong Kong, Pao Yugang is a special case, he hardly invests in Hong Kong, a large number of assets are invested in the ocean, even the global international headquarters, is rented land.
It is rumored that in 1974, the Jardine Matheson Group once approached Pao Yugang and wanted to exchange the Connaught Building (the current tallest building in Hong Kong) for a 200,000-ton oil tanker, but any of them were rejected by Pao Yugang, because the shipping price was at its peak at that time, and a ship could return to its original cost in two years, and the subsequent profits were all profits, while the land price in Hong Kong was at a low point at that time.
At that time, there were eight such tankers under Pao's umbrella, and there were many other freighters, each of which was equivalent to a skyscraper in Central. But later, Bao Yugang also regretted this refusal.
And every super tanker is a very important order for a country, the shipbuilding industry is also a high-tech field even in developed countries, every order, can make many small country presidents pay attention, Bao Yugang also naturally through a large number of orders, know a large number of politicians from various countries, but also won a large number of various types of presidential medals and so on.
"That's harder, unless you're also in the shipping industry? It's not a problem to get in with your capital. Chen Tianfu continued.
"The timing is not right, or you can think about it." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said, next, shipping will soon enter a recession, and it will not recover until the 90s, otherwise, Chen Zhiwen really wants to enter this industry, the influence is too strong, as long as he does not lose money, he can earn connections, but the next shipping storm is too tragic, it is said that each giant ship loses tens of thousands of dollars a day, and no one can bear this loss.
"Alright, let's have some fruit." Wu Xiuling prepared apples, grapes, and bananas and brought them up.
"It's a good grape." Chen Zhiwen praised after eating one.
"That's it, imported from France, this plate, it costs 100 Hong Kong dollars?" Wu Xiuling said with a smile.
"So expensive?" Chen Tianfu, who also likes to eat, was taken aback, 100 Hong Kong dollars, which is enough for many ordinary people to live in Hong Kong for a month.
"Imported from France and shipped by air, this price is naturally expensive." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently that after becoming a super-rich, Chen Zhiwen already knew the life of a super-rich, which was a life that didn't care about consumption at all, even if it was hundreds of thousands of clothes, as long as he liked it, he would buy it.
Although Chen Tianfu has also become a wealthy man in Hong Kong for nearly 20 years, he may be used to the hard days of the past, and it is difficult to adapt for a while.
"Okay." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.
"By the way, Awen, the election of Sister Hong Kong is about to start, right?" Wu Xiuling asked suddenly.
"Yes, it's almost there, at the beginning of next month, TVB will start accepting registrations, what's wrong? Mom, do you have friends who want to participate in Miss Hong Kong? Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.
"I'm going to say yes, you're going to give her a championship?" Wu Xiuling asked.
"This won't work, I don't want to take a look at the photos first, if it's okay, it's almost the same to give an encouragement award, the Hong Kong sister election is absolutely formal this time." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.
This election of Sister Hong Kong is his first big move after joining the wireless, and he must remain fair no matter what.
"I lied to you, I don't have any friends, I think, the annual Sister Hong Kong is not bad, you just marry one and come back." Wu Xiuling said with a smile.
"One is enough, I'll marry you ten, okay?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"Then you were born late, if only ten years ago." Chen Tianfu said.
"So you regret not marrying a few more in the first place?" Wu Xiuling glanced at her husband.
"Uh, I'm talking about Arwen, not me." Chen Tianfu hurriedly shook his head and said.
Sister Hong Kong's audition has begun.
Although Hong Kong is said to be economically developed, it is only a small city after all, and the beauty pageants of countries such as the mainland, the United States and even Japan are very different from the later generations.
This year's Miss Hong Kong audition, the address is set at the Miramar Hotel on the Kowloon Peninsula, this hotel, in more than ten years, will become the target of Li Ka-shing and Lee Shau Kee.
The reason why I didn't choose Chen Zhiwen's own Hilton Hotel is also because Hong Kong's tourism industry has recovered a lot, and the entire Hilton Hotel is full, and in terms of area, the Hilton Hotel in Central is not comparable to Kowloon.
"I'll go, there are so many Miss Hong Kong electors this year." A reporter with a huge camera, accompanied by a few people, no way, the camera is too heavy, too expensive, and not a fixed position shooting, you have to work together with several people to get this clumsy camera.
"A house in Taikoo City, if I were a woman, if I was good, I would definitely go to participate." The other person was holding a small camera in his hand, and he said while taking pictures of beautiful women passing by.
Because of the press card, the beauties here did not refuse to shoot, after all, they all came to participate in the Hong Kong sister election, and the most important thing is naturally exposure.
"Or a thousand-foot mansion? It hurts to think about it. ”
"Then you better go to Thailand for surgery, hahahaha."
"Get out of the way, hey, there's a bunch of beautiful girls over there, go take a look."
"Pretty girl, we are reporters from TVB, can you make a gesture and let us take more photos, so that you can be on TV?" A man who could talk stepped forward and said to a group of beautiful women.
"Okay." When several beauties heard this, they immediately became interested, the place here has been contracted by TVB, and the place where they come in from outside is guarded, and only women who are good can enter and exit freely, and the others all need passes, and cameras, especially cameras, are very expensive, and general newspaper media may not be able to take them out easily, and only large companies like TVB have this strength.
At the request of the profession, after several beauties took some photos, the reporter asked: "Miss Ye, why did you come to participate in the election of Miss Hong Kong?" ”
"Because I want to be Sister Hong Kong." The beauty surnamed Ye said with a wink of Carslan's big eyes.
“.” The reporter was speechless for a while, what did you answer? You might as well say that you have a direct eye on the house in Taikoo Shing.
But it's so stupid, it should be easy to deceive, so he said: "Then Miss Ye, I don't know when I'm free, we have time to make another appointment, I'll give you an interview, how about it?" ”
"No, let's wait until I become Sister Hong Kong." The woman surnamed Ye said, "I'll leave first if there's nothing to do." ”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
"Hahaha, Brother Li, just like you, do you still want to soak in others?" There was a burst of laughter behind him.
"Why did you suddenly become more savvy?" Brother Li was speechless for a while, turned his head and saw the people behind him smiling evilly, and suddenly understood, it must have been this group of people acting too directly behind their backs, making the beauty realize their intentions.
"Brother Li, look at it a little, this kind of person who came to participate in the election of Sister Hong Kong, which one is not for fame, profit and wealth, they all want to rely on the election of Sister Hong Kong to become a big star or even know rich people, those of us, don't think about it, even if you are lucky and get one, you can only get her body, not the hearts of others." A young man who seemed to have a lot of experience walked over and said.
Brother Li glanced at him with disdain and said, "You have a problem with your brain, the entertainment industry is all about playing, who will marry home?" ”
Miramar Hotel, in a presidential suite on the top floor:
Wang Shiqian and Wang Shiya, the twins, have just walked out of the bathroom, and a scarf makes the perfect figure looming, any one of them is sent to participate in the Hong Kong sister election, maybe they can enter the top 20, and a pair of twins, the attraction immediately grows exponentially.
Two 8 points, added together, are far more than 16 points.
"Brother Wen, this year's Hong Kong sister election is much better than before, I just used it to take a look, the quality is not bad, I feel that half of Hong Kong's beauties have been attracted." Wang Shiqian sat on the sofa, leaned beside her sister, picked up a glass of red wine on the coffee table, and said while drinking.
"Of course, what about a house in Taikoo Shing? If you don't know Brother Wen, I guess the two of us will go to participate. Wang Shiya said with a smile.
"That's right, I didn't expect that there are so many beauties in Hong Kong, if it's like this every day, then the quality of this year's Hong Kong sister is very powerful." Wang Shiqian said.
Chen Zhiwen walked over, sat in the middle of the two daughters, enjoyed the professional massage of the two daughters, and said: "This is the result of the large-scale publicity of TVB and some newspapers before, and there will be a little more today, and there will not be so many people in the future." ”
"That's a lot better than before." Wang Shiya nodded and said, "A house in Taikoo City, if it was before, our sisters would also be tempted." ”
Wang Shiqian was very busy and ignored her sister.
"You guys have a few houses in Taikoo Shing, right?" Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
When they first met the two sisters, they also bought a house for them in Taikoo Shing, and then, the two followed themselves, not to talk about getting rich, but they still had a lot of income, and when they were happy on weekdays, Chen Zhiwen would also teach them some of the most basic money-making routines: buying a house.
Regardless of 3721, it is to buy a house with a good location, and the timid will pay in full, and the bold will make a down payment.
"I have 5 sets and Qianqian has 4 sets, but the area is about the same, and the apartment she bought is bigger than mine." Wang Shiya said with a smile.
"Well, if you have money in the future, continue to buy it, or buy an office building, on Hong Kong Island or on the Kowloon Peninsula." Chen Zhiwen nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Then thank you Chen Sheng for giving us such an opportunity." Wang Shiya said.
"Don't talk, come up." Chen Zhiwen hugged Wang Shiya and moved his hands.
After a while, the hotel began to become confused.
An hour later, Chen Zhiwen yawned and took a sip of Red Bull, and he was suddenly full of energy.
"Brother Wen, do you think our sisters can be the judges of Sister Hong Kong?" Wang Shiqian peeled oranges and said while feeding Chen Zhiwen.
"You guys? The election of Sister Hong Kong is not just based on the first impression, many of them are considered comprehensively, and the most important thing is to analyze the person's character, whether he can persist in the entertainment industry, you can't, even me. Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.
TVB spent so much money to hold the Miss Hong Kong election, not for charity, its most basic purpose is to select potential new stars from a large number of Hong Kong beauties, so that they are both famous and capable, and they will soon become one of the well-known actresses in Hong Kong.
In fact, so many high-quality Hong Kong sisters in later generations have become well-known actresses, which is one of the evidence, the election of Hong Kong sisters is neither based on beauty nor academic qualifications, these are necessary, but not absolutely, and more importantly, whether they can become the object of TVB's support in the future.
"We're not here to judge Sister Hong Kong." Wang Shiya said with a smile: "We don't understand the operation of Sister Hong Kong's selection, but we understand Brother Wen, we know Brother Wen's needs, Sister Hong Kong is one thing, but in addition to Sister Hong Kong, there are actually many beautiful girls." ”
"You guys are really obedient, okay, I'll arrange a place for you, but you can't participate in the referee of the final Miss Hong Kong finals." Chen Zhiwen said with satisfaction.
"Okay, I promise to satisfy Brother Wen." Wang Shiqian said with a smile.
Downstairs, the staff of TVB have begun to be overwhelmed by the beauties who came to sign up, although I guessed that there would be a lot, but I never imagined that there would be so many.
This is also the temptation that they underestimated the attractiveness of the house too much, and later generations of Da Liu took the house as a gift, I don't know how many Hong Kong first-line actresses or Hong Kong sisters who have been elected, and even first-line actresses can't hold the temptation, how can ordinary people withstand it?
But fortunately, today is just a sign up, someone fills in a piece of information, and then the reviewer quickly meets to judge the potential of the person opposite.
Although in 1973, the election model of Miss Hong Kong became centered on "the coexistence of wisdom and beauty", but beauty is always indispensable, no matter how talented you are, it is useless to be sorry for the audience.
The time soon came to the evening, and after a day of hard work, TVB finally sorted out the total number of people who came to sign up today: 1865 people.
However, in today's first feeling review, it is estimated that only 2 percent of people have the opportunity to be truly notified that they can proceed to the next interview, and the remaining 8 layers are basically eliminated for appearance reasons.
