Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Friday, August 18, 1978.

The finals of the Miss Asia beauty pageant organized by Asia Television officially started on this day.

The competition was held during the day on an open-air stage and was broadcast live on Asia Television in a time-lapse manner. The reason for delayed live broadcast is, of course, to allow time for maneuver when an accident occurs.

As the chairman of Asia Television, Lin Baicheng will be present in person on this day and will participate in the competition as a judge.

"Lin Sheng, you're here."

When Lin Baicheng walked to the judges' table under the stage, someone said hello to him.

"Huo Daban, thank you very much for your willingness to come and be a judge."

Lin Baicheng went over and shook hands with Huo Yaohua, who was invited by him. As the final of the first Miss Asia, of course we cannot be careless in selecting judges. It is best to invite well-known figures from Hong Kong's upper class.

There were only a few people Lin Baicheng was familiar with, and Huo Yaohua was one of them.

"Lin Sheng!"

Wu Guanzheng came over.

"Wu Sheng!"

Lin Baicheng originally wanted to invite Bao Yugang, but thought that Bao Yugang's age was a bit inappropriate, so he invited his second son-in-law.

"Mr. Lin!"

Huang Xizhao, the manager of Asia Television, is also one of the judges.

"Lin Sheng!"

There are five judges in total, the last one is Zheng Yutong from Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, which sponsors this beauty pageant. Not only were the jewelry used by the contestants in the finals sponsored by Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and could be used for free, but they also obtained the naming rights for the competition, spending a lot of advertising money.

"Guys, please!"

The five people walked towards the judges' table. Lin Baicheng sat in the middle, Zheng Yudong and Huo Yaohua sat on his left and right sides, and Wu Guanzheng and Huang Xizhao sat on the edge.

The judges took their seats and the contestants were ready backstage. At that moment, two hosts, a man and a woman, stepped onto the stage under the direction of the director.

"Thank you to all the viewers and friends at the scene and in front of the TV for supporting Asia Television. We hereby announce that the first Miss Asia finals has officially begun!"

The two hosts spoke together into the microphone, and then bowed to the front together. The camera was naturally focused on them at this moment.

"Before the official start of the game, viewers are also asked to remember the relevant rules of the game."

"First of all, after the first round of Miss Asia, after the preliminary and middle rounds, 12 beauties were selected to participate in this final."

"Second, there are six awards in this final, namely the championship, runner-up and third runner-up, as well as the three special awards of 'the sweetest smile', 'the best figure' and 'the most talented'. In addition to the championship, runner-up and third runner-up In addition to not being able to win both, the other three awards can be won at the same time. Each contestant can win up to four awards as long as she is good enough."

"Thirdly, Miss Asia is judged based on figure and beauty. All viewers please keep this in mind."

"Fourth, this final is divided into four categories for scoring, namely beauty, figure, temperament and talent. The person with the highest average score in the four categories will be the champion."

"Fifth, regarding the judges' scoring, this competition adopts a 10-point system, but in order to avoid the unexpected situation where two contestants have the same average score, the judges' scores can be 9.2 points, 9.5 points, 9.6 points, etc. Fraction."

"Sixth, if the final championship battle still has the same score between two players, the final winner will be decided by the votes of the live audience."

"seventh."

There are nine relevant rules in the competition, but the most important rules are the first five.

After the male host introduced the details of the competition, the female host said: "We have invited five famous people to be the judges of this final. Let me introduce them to you next."

"The first is Mr. Lin Baicheng, the first judge. As we all know, he is not only the chairman of our Asia Television, but also the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa Company, which has the highest market value among listed companies in Hong Kong."

Amid the applause of the on-site staff and the audience, Lin Baicheng stood up, nodded in the direction of the stage and the audience, and waved hello.

"The second judge I will introduce to you next is Mr. Zheng Yudong. I believe many people know about his companies Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and New World Development."

Like Lin Baicheng, Zheng Yudong stood up and greeted the stage in front and the audience in the back. At this time, the camera naturally followed him.

"The third judge introduced next is Mr. Huo Yaohua, the chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank, who is the God of Wealth in everyone's eyes."

In fact, in the eyes of many business people in Hong Kong, HSBC's Shen Zhou is the God of Wealth. However, after all, Huo Yaohua is the executive of Standard Chartered, so there is no problem in saying that he is the God of Wealth.

"The fourth judge, Mr. Wu Guanzheng, is the son-in-law of the shipping king Mr. Bao Yugang and the director of Global Shipping Group."

Wu Guanzheng is in his early thirties, and he is the youngest among the five judges except Lin Baicheng.

"Finally, Mr. Huang Xizhao, the general manager of our Asia Television."

If ranked by status, Huang Xizhao is the worst among the five. After all, he is just a wage earner, and the market value of Asia Television is not very high.

If this were replaced by Wei Li, although he is also a wage earner, Wei Li is the president of Hutchison Whampoa, and Hutchison Whampoa's market value is about 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. The resources he can use are not small, and his social status is also very high. No worse than Wu Guanzheng.

Although Wu Guanzheng is Bao Yugang's son-in-law, Bao Yugang has more than one son-in-law. In addition, he only serves as a director of Global Shipping, and the resources he can use may not be as good as Wei Li.

After introducing the judges, the male host said: "Before the finals officially begin, I would like to invite Miss Deng Lijun from Bay Island to sing "The Moon Represents My Heart" for us. Miss Deng Lijun!"

"Lijun! Lijun!"

There was fierce applause and cheers, and Deng Lijun, dressed in beautiful clothes, walked from the backstage to the center of the stage.

The sound of tunes and accompaniment began to sound.

"You ask me how deeply I love you. How much do I love you?"

"My affection is true and my love is true."

"the moon represents my heart!"

"..."

A familiar song sounded. It was Deng Lijun's live performance. Lin Baicheng listened very carefully. He liked this song very much.

One thing Lin Baicheng actually knows is that the song "The Moon Represents My Heart" was not originally sung by Deng Lijun. As early as 1973, it was sung by a singer named Chen Fenlan, but after Deng Lijun re-sung it last year, the song became popular among the Chinese community and penetrated into other countries involved in Chinese culture.

There are so many people who like this song.
