Chapter 190: Pretty girls still attract attention! (Subscribe)

In the Mong Kok Water House, the head of the hall complained, "We're still being asked to pay for training. Isn't this ridiculous?"

"We're sending people to participate in a beauty pageant, and we're asking the contestants to pay for it themselves?"

"Then, Boss, do we still want to get involved in this?"

The white paper fan beside him asked, "This time, the hall has selected five young ladies to participate in the competition!"

"They are the top nightclubs in our area. If we lose a day of business, we will lose a lot of money!"

"How do you think they compare to these others?"

The head of the water room hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a copy of the latest "Night" newspaper and pointed to the beautiful photos on the second page. The three beauties in the photos were extremely beautiful.

There are not only beautiful photos, but also brief introductions, all of them are contestants participating in the beauty pageant.

The "Night Color" newspaper has already started active publicity in conjunction with the beauty pageant.

"Isn't this Lili from the Grand Palace Nightclub?"

Bai Zhishan pointed at the pretty girl and said in surprise, "I didn't expect the person in the photo to be so beautiful!"

He looked up and saw the boss's unfriendly look, so he hurriedly said, "Although Lili is beautiful, she is just one of the gold medal girls of the Grand Palace Nightclub, and her level is about the same as those we selected!"

She paused here and sighed, "I never thought that Lili would look so beautiful in fashionable clothes and after dressing up. I will definitely take care of her business in the future!"

The head of the water room was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked. He casually took back the "Night Color" newspaper and said unhappily, "Put away your face and go find out what the other families have to say."

In fact, although I complained, I didn't give up in my heart.

Just for the beautiful photos in the "Night" newspaper, I will not let go of this opportunity easily.

With the fame of "Night Color", I believe that the beauties who will appear in the newspapers soon will leave a certain impression on the audience, and may even become a small star.

Baizhishan moved quickly, and he had already figured out the reactions of several other top-notch societies in Mong Kok.

"Boss, Liang Kun has already paid!"

"And the winning streak's Long Gen has also been paid!"

"East Star's 'cannon gun', no complaints about paying!"

"Hua Fu from the United Group is still hesitant, but I heard they're leaning towards paying!"

"What the hell is going on?"

The head of the water room cursed angrily, "You all have so many Hong Kong dollars in your hands, why are you all so eager?"

After saying that, he changed the subject and said directly: "Go, take the money and send it to ATV!"

"Boss, what are you doing..."

Bai Zhishan was startled and hesitated, "Should we continue to wait and see?"

"Wait and see!"

The head of the water room said unhappily, "Is Liang Kun a fool?"

"Are Long Gen and 'Pao Gang' mentally ill?"

"This one……"

Baizhishan was confused by the big boss's series of questions and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"I think you are really stupid!"

The head of the water room said angrily, "I told you not to hang out in nightclubs every day, but you didn't listen. Now your mind is stuck, right? Isn't this obvious?"

"Whether it's Liang Kun, Long Gen, or even 'Huo Pao Gang', don't you think they have anything in common? For example, has their strength increased rapidly recently?"

Baizhishan nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, this is also what I am confused about!"

"The three of them have expanded so rapidly in the past year that their strength is comparable to that of ordinary second-rate gangs. It feels unreal that so many powerful people have suddenly emerged in Mong Kok!"

"Fuck, not only do you feel it's unreal, I think so too!"

The head of the water room said unhappily, "If you don't know, you might think this is Tsim Sha Tsui!"

"I don't know how they suddenly became so powerful. It's quite baffling, but their strength has definitely increased significantly!"

"Brother Kun and 'Fire Cannon' are fine, after all, the strength of Hongxing and Dongxing is there. As long as these two manage it well, their strength will definitely not be far behind!"

"The key is Long Gen, who has won consecutive victories. We all know what he was like before!"

"Even if you make money by opening a film company, it won't cause your subordinates to suddenly become powerful!"

Speaking of this, the head of the Water Room was quite depressed: "In the past, the strength of our Water Room in Mong Kok was about the same as that fellow Long Gen, but now we are at the bottom!"

"Now, I'm going to keep an eye on that guy Long Gen!"

"Whatever he does, I'll do it too. I can't get left behind again, right?"

Baizhishan nodded repeatedly, praising the hall master for his wisdom and bravery.

As a result, after Lianhe Huafu got the news, he almost burst into curses.

Damn, they are all guys with problems in their brains. They all paid the unreasonable request of ATV for training fees, but they are not so honest even when paying the amount, right?
What annoyed him the most was that if they wanted to pay, they should have informed them in advance. This made him, a member of the Red Stick Alliance on Bowl Lane, feel very embarrassed, as if he was being excluded.

It’s just paying training fees, what’s the big deal?

"Are those guys in Mong Kok out of their minds?"

The actions of the gang leader in Mong Kok left his counterparts in Yau Ma Tei and Tsim Sha Tsui somewhat puzzled.

Everyone is cursing in private, isn't this cheating?

Some people who lack confidence will naturally follow suit and pay ATV.

As for those who felt they had enough confidence, such as the gang leaders in Tsim Sha Tsui, they were indifferent and had little reaction at all.

In other words, the Prince of Hung Hing was more cooperative and paid the money directly to ATV.

"Takeshi, do you want me to say hello to my colleagues in Tsim Sha Tsui?"

After paying the money, the prince called Wu Feng directly, intending to continue to help.

"No need!"

Wu Feng said calmly, "As long as they don't regret it later, I don't mind!"

"After all, this is about money. Even if the money controlled by the gang bosses is nothing, it's not easy to force anything. The TV station also has to save face!"

"Well, if there's anything you need me to do, be sure to call me!"

The prince felt a little regretful that he was unable to gain Wu Feng's favor, and he was not in a good mood.

This time, most of his powerful boxers participated in the second "Unrestricted Fighting Tournament".

He had no intention of taking any backdoor approach, but he just hoped that Wu Feng could do him a favor and let his powerful boxer not encounter a strong opponent too early in the draw.

He didn't really care about Datou and He Yong's glory! But they made a fortune in one go by using the platform of "Unlimited Fighting Tournament", which made the prince very envious. Who wouldn't like such clean money?
In fact, Wu Feng really didn't care about the actions of the gang leaders in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the most prosperous areas in Hong Kong Island, comparable to Causeway Bay.

There are many high-end nightclubs and entertainment venues, so the profits are naturally quite astonishing.

The bosses of the societies here are all very powerful, and are the top-ranked tough guys in their respective societies.

Of course, the situation of Hung Hing is somewhat different, as the two strongest gangs are both based in Mong Kok.

Similarly, the community leaders in Tsim Sha Tsui are not very enthusiastic about participating in the beauty pageant organized by ATV.

In their view, even if all the contestants they put forward fail, it will not affect the revenue of the nightclubs in their territory. Of course, if they succeed, it will only be icing on the cake.

I have no intention of paying for the so-called training fees.

Even so, ATV was already quite surprised.

At least, program director Li Zhuanglie, who had some doubts about this before, now has nothing but admiration.

In particular, when he found out who were the people who took the initiative to pay for the training, his admiration for them increased even more.

Damn, being able to make the boss of the society pay money obediently requires quite an amazing ability.

Of course, he now basically understands the root cause of the beauty pageant, and he is not without worries.

But things have come to this point, the TV station's publicity machine has been started, and it is impossible to retreat. The initial expenses are no less.

In addition, you may also offend many community leaders.

He does not have the confidence of the tycoons in Hong Kong Island, and even running away to Europe and the United States is not safe.

Then, ATV invested more in programming.

Hong Kong Island audiences can clearly see that the publicity for beauty pageants has become more frequent and more frequent.

Some of the contestants who have registered and have good qualities have been on TV and in newspapers.

Even applicants with ordinary looks were given some exposure opportunities through temporary variety shows.

Then, they will be eliminated directly through the normal process. At least the audience and contestants will not think there is a problem.

After all, it’s a beauty pageant, so she must have certain advantages in appearance!
The best among them have begun to be recommended by TV stations and the newspaper "Night Color".

At this time, the main content is about exposing the appearance and figure, which is enough to make the audience in front of the TV and the readers who buy newspapers shine.

It cannot be helped that, men and women, everyone has a heart that loves beauty!
Some regulars at nightclubs and entertainment venues suddenly realized that the beauties whose photos were exposed on TV and in newspapers were actually people they were familiar with. They were all surprised and became very interested.

If they didn't know the details of ATV, they would have really thought that this was a competition for nightclub ladies.

"Lili from the Grand Palace, I didn't expect that after dressing up like this, she would become so beautiful and dazzling!"

"Fang Fang from The Rich Man is pretty good too. Which stylist helped create this beautiful picture?"

"Whatever, I didn't expect Yuanyuan to actually participate in a beauty pageant. No wonder she hasn't been around in the last few days. I have to support her no matter what!"

These nightclub regulars have quite good financial strength, otherwise they would not be able to meet the top girls in the nightclubs.

As for ordinary audiences and readers, they were surprised by the contestants' attire.

"Wow, this girl is so pretty. I don't even know her name or contact information, otherwise I would definitely want to get to know her better. It would be great if I could have her as my girlfriend!"

"Is the dress this sister is wearing the latest style? I want to buy one too!"

"Wow, this sister's outfit is so trendy. I wonder how she dresses?"

"..."

In short, as more and more beautiful girls appear on TV and in newspapers, the enthusiasm of the audience and readers is getting higher and higher. After all, we are all visual animals.

The first to be affected is naturally the street stall economy in Mong Kok!

The fashionable clothes worn by the beautiful girls participating in the beauty pageant were all provided by the small garment factory under Wu Feng. Each one was very trendy and eye-catching.

Many female viewers and readers, when they see trendy and beautiful clothes, will buy one or a set of them as long as the price is not outrageously expensive, so that they can become beautiful.

Then, Shanghai Street, Fa Yuen Street and Tung Choi Street in Mong Kok suddenly became popular. The number of female customers coming to shop increased sharply, and the trendy and fashionable clothes on the stalls sold very well.

Not only these streets, but other streets were also affected.

For example, the half of New Reclamation Street controlled by Dongxing has also seen a significant increase in female customers.

In this wave alone, many societies made a lot of money.

The key point is that those beautiful girls had a great time as models and could also get part of the profit share. Their originally not very positive attitude suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

"My God, I never thought I could make money just by posting a few pretty photos!"

The head of the Mong Kok Water House was greatly shocked. Looking at the report handed over on the white paper, he was deeply shaken.

"It's just making money by leveraging the fame of beautiful women!"

Bai Zhishan was a little unconcerned and said jealously, "The point is, the one who really makes the big money is Wu Feng, the leader of the Hongxing Saigon Hall. I'm afraid he can easily make millions!"

"That's because they have the ability!"

The head of the water room rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "If you can create such a big fuss and have the right trendy clothes, you can make a lot of money in a short time!"

"I don't think I've suffered a loss, do I?"

Bai Zhishan said gloomily, "They're making money with the help of the pretty girls we sent out, so they should get a bigger share, right?"

"Also, why are we giving a share to the ladies who participated in the competition? This money should belong to the gang!"

"You are losing your money, aren't you?"

The head of the water room said angrily, "They are doing a good job. Besides, we earn more. Why should we continue to stare at the little money in the hands of the ladies?"

"That's not small money!"

Bai Zhishan said gloomily, "Basically, if any clothing sells well, they can get a share of thousands to tens of thousands of yuan in profits. The key is that it's much easier than working in a nightclub!"

"This is the rule set by the organizer. How can you not abide by it?"

The head of the water room felt his teeth ache and said unhappily, "Haven't you seen that the other club leaders haven't taken any action? Are you asking me to take risks?"

Just thinking about facing the leader of the Hung Hing Sai Kung branch makes me feel weak.

"Boss, I don't think so, please don't slander me!"

Bai Zhishan shuddered with fear and quickly said, "Since this is the rule set by others, then we should just abide by it. There are benefits to be gained anyway!"

With ATV's full support and a large number of beautiful women, the effect is quite obvious.

Even during the preliminary round, contestants are not required to show any talents or anything like that. Just the exposure of their beautiful photos is enough to attract many viewers.

At this time, first-class newspapers such as "Mong Kok News" and "Oriental Daily News" all came out and published beautiful photos in the entertainment section to build momentum for the beauty pageant.

Coupled with the TV station's preliminary selection program, the popularity of the beauty pageant is growing day by day!
