Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 104 Millionaire Finals (Part 1)

"Ms. Deng, I'm glad you can come this time."

After seeing Deng Lijun being led in by the staff, Lin Baicheng walked over.

"It's really Deng Lijun!"

Lin Qin cheered and ran over first, looking at Deng Lijun with surprise and admiration.

Lin Baicheng said to Deng Lijun: "Miss Deng, this is my sister Lin Qin. I hope you don't mind her being so reckless."

Deng Lijun smiled and shook her head: "Of course I won't mind. With a fan like Miss Lin liking me, it's not too late for me to be happy."

Lin Qin kept asking Lin Baicheng when he could see Deng Lijun. This time the finals of "Who Can Be a Millionaire" were held, Lin Baicheng contacted Deng Lijun in advance. She happened to be in Hong Kong these days and was willing to come here to watch the finals, which was considered a blessing.

Let Lin Qin get what he wanted.

"Sister Lijun, I am so happy to see you. Can you take a photo with me and give me some autographs?"

Lin Qin said excitedly that she brought a camera with her when she came over.

"OK."

Deng Lijun agreed with a smile and did not refuse.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Miss Deng."

Lin Baicheng went to get the camera and took pictures of the two of them.

Afterwards, Deng Lijun signed autographs for Lin Qin. Lin Qin told her friend that she could see Deng Lijun, so her friend also asked her to help get Deng Lijun's autograph, so Deng Lijun signed many autographs.

"Mr. Lin, the finals are coming soon. Do you want to go over and watch?"

It took a lot of time to do this, and the TV station staff came over to remind me.

"Okay, we'll go there right away."

Lin Baicheng said and took Lin Qin and Deng Lijun to the stage of the competition.

Lin Baicheng and the others were not three of the hundred people in the audience. They were also watching the game, but they were watching from the sidelines and the camera would not capture them.

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome to tonight's program "Who Can Be a Millionaire?" Tonight will usher in the first final since the start of the show. A total of ten contestants will participate in the final. So, can anyone answer the question correctly?

Complete all 15 questions, become the champion, and get a million Hong Kong dollars in prize money? Let’s wait and see!”

The on-site recording and filming are almost synchronized with the TV broadcast. The most direct reactions of the contestants can better reflect the tension. Therefore, there is no need to worry about what the contestants will do if they make mistakes. What is important is the most authentic reaction.

"Now I invite the first contestant, Xiao Yaxun."

As the host finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties walked onto the stage.

"Here I would like to introduce to you player Xiao Yaxun. Mr. Xiao is 42 years old and runs a bookstore by himself. Due to his professional relationship, he has read many kinds of books and has accumulated rich knowledge. He is a strong challenger for tonight's championship."

Personal computers had just been popularized in the United States at this time and had not yet spread to Hong Kong. The program team was not equipped with a display screen like the stock exchange, so all questions and four options were printed on paper in advance and then taken.

Show the paper to the contestants.

There are two staff members doing the answer board work alone, taking turns. There is no way, the electronic equipment in this era is not that advanced, and many times it requires manual labor.

Because it was a show, the host did not be polite to the contestants and went straight to the point.

"Contestant Xiao Yaxun, please listen to the seventh question: When was the Independent Commission Against Corruption founded by Mr. MacLehose, the Governor of Hong Kong, established at which of the following times?"

"[A: February 15, 1973]; [B: May 12, 1973]; [C: February 15, 1974]; [D: May 12, 1974]"

"C, February 15, 1974!"

Xiao Yaxun immediately answered after listening. It had only been a few years since the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Anyone who had experienced the chaotic period of the 1950s and 1960s would be deeply impressed by this day.

"Are you sure? Do you need to change your answer?"

Xiao Yaxun said firmly: "I'm sure, it's not necessary."

"Congratulations, you answered correctly!"

"Congratulations on answering seven questions and winning a cumulative bonus of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now you can choose not to continue answering the questions and take away the 1,000 Hong Kong dollars directly, or you can choose to continue answering the questions, but if you get the eighth question wrong, you will only

I can get 500 Hong Kong dollars. Then, please tell me your choice, player Xiao Yaxun."

"I choose to continue answering the questions."

There was no surprise in Xiao Yaxun's choice. It was only 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, and he didn't use his three opportunities. He definitely wanted to give it a try.

"Well, please listen to the eighth question: Which of the following emperors was the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

"[A: Liu Bang]; [B: Liu Che]; [C: Liu Hong]; [D: Liu Xiu]"

"It's A, no, it's D, it's Liu Xiu. Liu Bang was the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiucai was the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

After Xiao Yaxun told the answer, he immediately realized that he had just forgotten the difference between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The host glanced at the program leader Xiao Ruoyuan who was standing not far away. After seeing him nodding, he said: "Congratulations to contestant Xiao Yaxun. You answered correctly and won a total bonus of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"call!"

Xiao Yaxun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. If the host judged him for giving a wrong answer, there was nothing he could do about it. It was indeed his mistake just now. He didn't think too much at the moment. It seemed that he had to think carefully before answering.

Deng Lijun said to Lin Baicheng next to him: "I thought he would be judged for giving a wrong answer just now."

Lin Baicheng said in a low voice: "This is the first final after all. The program team gives preferential treatment to the contestants, and the questions are not too difficult, so they are lucky."

"Is that so?"

Deng Lijun was a little surprised, she didn't expect it to be like this.

There was a delay for viewers watching the program on TV. They had just watched the filmed competition scenes of Xiao Yaxun's preliminary round and semi-final. Fortunately, it was edited and the questions and answers were played directly, so it was exactly five minutes.

When Xiao Yaxun was facing the ninth question asked by the host, the audience in front of the TV saw the host asking the seventh question.

The ninth question asked about Xiao Yaxun's knowledge blind spot, so he gave up the "50%-50%" chance, directly eliminated two wrong answers, and then answered correctly, and received a cumulative bonus of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The reason why he did not choose to use the other two opportunities was because using the '50%-50%' opportunity was more likely for him to continue to answer correctly. He would only have a chance to answer the tenth question if he 'survived' first.

That's right, Xiao Yaxun chose to continue answering questions. Who knows that he who answered the ninth question correctly can only get a bonus of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is far from the final bonus of one million Hong Kong dollars.
