Chapter 451 Miss Hong Kong Election
Time soon came to late September, Yau Tsim Mong District, Kowloon, Miramar Hotel:

Yang Wendong, Zou Wenhuai, Qi Ruifan, Zheng Zhijie and several other assistants all came here.

Yang Wendong looked around and said, "Old Zheng, this Miramar Hotel is much bigger than our Four Seasons Hotel."

Zheng Zhijie smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Yang, just looking at the area, it is indeed much larger than the Four Seasons Hotel. After all, the location is far worse than ours. This hotel was built in 57. At that time, the land price here was more than ten times that of Central."

"Well, but now the difference is only three or four times." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "From an investment perspective, it is still more cost-effective."

"Yes, when a city develops, the growth rate of the suburbs will definitely be stronger than that of the urban area. However, the land in the urban area can be said to be priced but not marketable. We can only say that there are different choices for investment." Zheng Zhijie then asked, "Mr. Yang, do you mean that we should also focus on investing in rural land in the future?"

The reason is simple. In a small city, the urban area is also valuable, but the suburbs may be wasteland or farmland. However, after development, once developed here, the value will inevitably increase greatly, possibly dozens or even hundreds of times, while it is impossible for urban properties to increase so much.

Yang Wendong said, "I have this idea, but I think the housing prices have not bottomed out yet. You should first conduct a detailed investigation of Kowloon or the marginal areas of Hong Kong Island, especially those with large areas, and prepare the information first."

Surrounding the cities with the countryside is actually one of the reasons why the four major families were able to rise in the previous life. First, investigate all the information, and then wait for the year 67 to arrive.

"Okay." Zheng Zhijie agreed.

At this time, a man in his 40s came out with several people. When he approached, he stretched out his right hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang."

"Hello, Mr. Yang." Yang Wendong also said with a smile: "We both have the surname Yang, and you are my senior."

The person who came was Yang Zhiyun, the owner of Miramar Hotel. He was not well-known in history. However, after his death, Li Zhaoji and Li Jiacheng, two of the four major families, started a war for Miramar Hotel. Li Jiacheng wanted to maliciously acquire it, and Li Zhaoji acted as the white knight. This acquisition war also shocked the whole of Hong Kong for a while.
"I don't deserve to be called a senior. There are not many entrepreneurs with the surname Yang in Hong Kong. However, your achievements, Mr. Yang, can be said to be unprecedented and unmatched. It really makes us, the Yang people, proud." Yang Zhiyun laughed.

Yang Wendong said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Yang Zhiyun added: "Mr. Yang, thank you very much for choosing the Miramar Hotel as the venue for the Miss Hong Kong election this time. We need more cooperation in this regard in the future."

"Mr. Yang, the Miss Hong Kong election will probably not be held outside next year. I have already invested in a piece of land in Tseung Kwan O to build a special venue." Yang Wendong followed up and said, "But in other areas, or in the local Miss Hong Kong election, we can consider cooperation."

The reason why the Miss Hong Kong event was not held at its own Four Seasons Hotel is because the Four Seasons Hotel is in such a good location that it is not large and not suitable for such a large event. The Miramar Hotel, which is larger and located in a moderate location, is very suitable.

However, compared with professional broadcasting venues, even Miramar is inferior. It’s just because of time constraints, so it can only be held here this year.

"I understand. Miramar also hopes to have long-term cooperation with Changxing Group." Yang Zhiyun nodded and said.

Although the Changxing Group has the Four Seasons Hotel, a hotel in Central may not be enough for such a large group. Moreover, the Four Seasons Hotel has a very high positioning. It is natural for the senior executives or distinguished guests of the Changxing Group to stay there, but it is not necessary for ordinary reception. In addition, many of the Changxing Group's industries are in the Kowloon Peninsula, and it is very troublesome to go back and forth to Hong Kong Island, so it is more appropriate to find a hotel in Kowloon.
"No problem." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, the Miss Hong Kong election is about to begin. How about we go and see it together?"

"Okay, I also want to see this lively Miss Hong Kong election." Yang Zhiyun also said with a smile: "Because of Mr. Yang's event, I got a lot of advertising here."

At this moment, a large number of reporters have arrived, as well as TVB's professional camera team. For the Miramar Hotel, this is also a very lively exposure opportunity.

Yang Wendong said: "It is also because Mr. Yang has such conditions that he naturally got such an opportunity."

There is no way, the Four Seasons Hotel cannot organize such an event. Otherwise, it would be best to give it to ourselves. However, these are only small traffic. This year is still the first year. Once the Miss Hong Kong event is established in the future, it will be easy to promote any industry of ours.

The most important thing at the moment is to do the event well, this is the most important thing.

After arriving at the venue, a large number of people were already in place. Yang Wendong, Yang Zhiwen and a group of entourage naturally sat in the C position, but not on the first floor, but at the front of the second floor of the hall. The view here is the best, and the people on the second floor are deliberately controlled, so it is relatively not too noisy.
The show below was also going on normally. After the host introduced the contestants, the 20 contestants took to the stage one by one to perform model walking, dancing, etc.
Yang Zhiyun looked at it for a while and asked, "Mr. Yang, does your beauty pageant also test your literary talent?"

"Beauty is not just about appearance." Yang Wendong replied: "Appearance is important, but you also need to have a certain level of talent to be worthy of the title of Miss Hong Kong.

And my core purpose is to select talents for the Hong Kong film and television industry, which naturally requires testing the most basic acting skills.”

Miss Hong Kong itself is an event, but if you want to maintain this popularity every year for a long time, you must ensure that the selected Miss Hong Kong will have certain high returns in the future, that is, make a fortune after becoming a star.

Although it sounds a bit vulgar, the essence of this society is to make money. Without money, you will definitely not be able to move forward. With money, even your farts will be loud. Only when the selected people become well-known and make enough money can they attract more people to participate, thereby improving the overall quality. This is true for any industry.

Originally, the peak period of Miss Hong Kong in history was the 80s, which was due to the development of Hong Kong's film and television industry. Another important reason was that in 77, Miss Hong Kong Zhu Lingling married the second generation of the Huo family, and became a phoenix, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of Hong Kong women to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant. However, Yang Wendong has no way to handle such a thing and can only rely on chance. But it is no problem to give high fame and income, provided that he can become a well-known star.

"I see." Yang Zhiyun also laughed and said, "It seems that Mr. Yang has a great business sense. A Miss Hong Kong event has greatly increased TVB's ratings, and it can also provide film and television talents in the future."

"Isn't this how we do business?" Yang Wendong said, "Doing something from a global perspective is the only way to get the most benefit."

In fact, although there was no Internet in this era, many thinking logics in the Internet were not born after the emergence of the Internet. The most basic one is the logic of traffic and monetization.

Miss Hong Kong events are about traffic, and monetization is about converting it into TVB ratings and Oriental Daily sales, plus commissions on mailing fees for participating in election guessing, etc.; while cultivating one's own stars is about directing traffic to one's own company;
Just like QQ and WeChat, which appear to be not profitable or even losing money, they can make a lot of money if the traffic is directed to games, shopping, etc.

Of course, there is no relevant summary in this era. Even if someone may think of this aspect, it is difficult to tell others because there is no channel to express it. Therefore, time travelers still have some advantages in this regard.

"No wonder Mr. Yang has been so successful. I admire him." Yang Zhiyun said with a smile.

Yang Wendong said: "Haha, Mr. Yang, you are not bad either."

Although the Yang Zhiyun family is far inferior to Li Jiacheng and others in Hong Kong, its assets are also at the level of hundreds of billions, involving industries such as hotels, real estate, and jewelry. If Yang Zhiyun had not suddenly died of a heart attack in 85, perhaps the future achievements would have been even higher.

Yang Zhiyun said, "Mr. Yang, my second son, Yang Bingliang, has just graduated from university. Can you arrange for him to go to your company for training for a while?"

"Come to my company?" Yang Wendong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your own business is not small, right?"

Yang Zhiyun smiled and said, “Mr. Yang, although you are worth a lot, you may not know some things. Although the scale of those who have started in Hong Kong varies, they are basically all strong.

But the problem is that it is hard to say about our offspring. Throughout history, there has been a saying that wealth cannot last for more than three generations, so we are very cautious about the training of our offspring. In addition to education, the same is true for work. However, if we arrange for them to work in our own company, it is inevitable that things will go too smoothly.

So sometimes, we would send them to other companies to learn and let them grow with their own abilities, especially when they have just graduated and are in their early 20s. Their temperaments are too arrogant and it is even more difficult to control them in their own company. "

"That makes sense." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Okay, you can come to our company, but what position should I arrange for you?"

Yang Zhiyun shook his head and said, "There's no need to arrange this. Let him choose by himself, then go for the interview by himself and enter the workplace by himself. But I also need to tell you in advance, otherwise it would be bad if there is any misunderstanding.
Mr. Yang doesn't need any special care, just let him develop on his own."

"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and agreed.

That being said, but now that he knows it, he still has to take care of him a little. It is not difficult to give him a small leadership position, and it will not affect his own company anyway. It is impossible for him to arrange a middle-level position or above for such a person who will definitely leave in the future.

The Miss Hong Kong election continued and lasted for three days. After rounds of voting, on September 9, after TVB held the Miss Hong Kong event, the first Miss Hong Kong was announced. Her name was Li Wenyu. There were also two runner-up and third place winners.

Changxing Group Headquarters:

Yang Wendong looked at the photos in his hand and said, "The three Hong Kong beauties should be rewarded according to our rules. We should arrange for reporters to interview them and describe the benefits they received directly after winning the prize, especially the house."

Giving benefits is certain, but as a public figure, anything they own will become a publicity point. For celebrities, wealth and freedom cannot be achieved at the same time.

"Okay." Qin Zhiye agreed.

Yang Wendong added: "Then we will let them go to the wireless training class. When there are suitable TV series or movies, we can let them participate in the filming. As long as their filming talent is not too bad and they cooperate with us, we will focus on training them to become well-known actresses in Hong Kong.
In this regard, Hong Kong film companies have never taken the initiative to do so before, so we are making an attempt.”

In the 80s, when Hong Kong movies were at their peak, the salaries of first-line actresses like Maggie Cheung and Chow Yun-fat were several times lower than those of first-line male stars like Fat Gor.
Of course, this is also a market demand, and I will not go against the market. However, since we want to promote the "Miss Hong Kong" IP, we have to create a star even if it means creating one. This is also in line with some future plans of Changxing Group.

Qi Ruifan and Zou Wenhuai both agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, we know what to do."
