Chapter 233 Soaring into the Sky

Lotti couldn't let go of the clothing designs designed by Wang Yuanchao.

Finally, she asked if she could give these sketches to her as compensation for her photo shoot.

She plans to design these clothes when she returns, match them with suitable accessories, and then wear them in the new movie. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

Wang Yuanchao immediately said casually:

“The remuneration is the remuneration, and the drawing is the drawing, they are two different things.

I can only give these drawings to my friends."

Letty really likes these styles, she smiled and said:

"Since we are friends, let alone the reward, we should help each other."

Wang Yuanchao was secretly delighted. Just like that, they were now friends!

He immediately pushed the drawing aside and said with a smile:

"In that case, I won't be polite. I'll help you think about it after I'm done with this."

Letty smiled and said:

"Then how about I help you get a name in the crew as Letty's exclusive costume designer?"

Leti didn't know Wang Yuanchao's true identity yet, and simply thought that he was the senior manager who helped Zhou Qibang run the newspaper, and perhaps also a partner.

She was impressed by the other person's talent, so she thought it would be beneficial to make friends with such a person, so she wanted to help if she could.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"If that's the case, I do have a friend who wants to get into the clothing and fashion industry. Would you like me to introduce you to each other?
The same clothing as the top female star, just imagine the sales volume will be impressive!

Fashion design is just a hobby for me, but they are planning to make it a career.”

Letty was a little embarrassed by Wang Yuanchao's praise, but she didn't deny it. After thinking for a while, she said:
"Is that okay? You know, being an actor is my profession, and fashion design is just my hobby!"

After saying that, the two glanced at each other and their eyes separated immediately.

Wang Yuanchao said:

“You can try.

Sir Zhou Xinian's second son, Zhou Qibang and his wife, how about such a partner?"

Letty was shocked. The Zhou family was a top wealthy family in Hong Kong. She even stopped smiling and said:

"Such a high-ranking family... I am easily deceived, so please don't lie to me."

In fact, even if they were cheated, it wouldn’t matter, after all, they are such a wealthy family.

Wang Yuanchao was unhappy and said:
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you about this.

Because even if I lie to you, I will lie to you clearly!
But the couple hasn't made up their mind what to do yet, so I'll talk to them and urge them to do it.

Don't worry, even if it doesn't work out, my big brother Qibang will be happy to treat Letty to a meal."

Wang Yuanchao didn't dare to speak too confidently, after all, he was not Brother Qibang.

Letty chuckled and covered her mouth with the back of her hand, thinking: This young boss is trying to tease me with words.

Why can't she see it?

However, if she could get in touch with the second son of the Zhou family, could she ask him to invest in her film company? In that case, the Golden Eagle would have a strong backer, right? She still had five film contracts with Cathay (Dianmao), so the Golden Eagle really needed a backer.

So he said word by word:

“Then I’ll wait for the dinner my good friend will introduce!
By the way, when are you going to take the photo shoot? I may need to adjust my condition. "

Wang Yuanchao said:

"I think you're in pretty good shape right now. I'm here whenever you're ready."

……

Only 3 copies of the first issue of Phoenix Daily were printed. Not to mention the carefully planned content, the free exquisite pictorials alone meant that it would not be difficult to sell.

To put it bluntly, it's like picking up a beautiful picture of the big star Lydia Lotte for 1 cent, and also a newspaper.

Wang Yuanchao helped design the poses and movements for Lotte's photos, and also instructed the photographer in taking the photos.

Implicit but not revealing, pure and full of desire.

He basically copied Audrey Hepburn's classic look. He had a ready-made homework in his mind, so why not copy it?
The reason why we didn't print too many copies is not because we are afraid of losing money, but because we are afraid that the sales will drop sharply later, which will not be a good thing.

We had done many rounds of speculation beforehand and thought that if there were 1 copies, the newspaper would be self-sufficient!

If you cross the 3-copy mark, you become a relatively influential newspaper. If you cross the 5-copy mark, you become a major newspaper.

Wang Yuanchao was still thinking about Phoenix Daily's future retention rate, customer repurchase rate, and response measures. At around 10 o'clock the next morning, the newspaper's phone started to ring one after another, with newsstand owners asking for more goods!

Tomorrow is horse racing day. No other horse racing guide is as detailed and in-depth as Phoenix Daily, and it is selling out instantly.

As a result, many citizens who wanted to follow the novel were unable to buy newspapers!

Is this justified?

Wang Yuanchao may have underestimated the influence of his generous gift, the topic-filled content, and the non-dimensional Horse Racing Classic on this era.

The printing house had to print more copies urgently.

As soon as a batch of them came out, they were bought by a group of anxious newsstands.

There was no time to count the sales volume, so we could only count the shipment volume. The shipment volume on the second day directly exceeded 48,300 copies.

The headline on the front page of Phoenix Daily on the third day immediately changed to:
"Thank you to the people of Hong Kong for your love and congratulations on my newspaper sales exceeding 50,000 copies!"

The third day was horse racing day, and although there were still horse racing reports (this was a special topic with a lot of horse racing), sales fell slightly to just over 40,000.

But as soon as the results of the competition came out, the remaining stock was sold out, and the newsstands began to place orders for more goods from the newspaper.

Because not only the first place, but also the second and third place are within the prediction range of Phoenix Daily.

Thursday's newspapers are a review of Wednesday's races, covering which horses may not have achieved the expected results for what reasons, and which horses performed to their full potential for what reasons, etc. There are no dark horses this time.

Nonsense, the appearance of the horses in this race had all been communicated with the Jockey Club in advance, and several seeded players had detailed explanations in the horse guide two days ago.

Phoenix Daily does not dare to say which horse is the best, but only analyzes which horses are likely to come out on top. Anyway, the data are there, and fortunately no dark horse was born.

One reader was lucky enough to win the grand prize. His personal report will be in the newspaper on the fourth day. The series of exclusive interviews are for Hong Kong people to read and read the newspaper. The benefits of reading Phoenix Daily - realize your dream of getting rich!

After the results of the race came out on Wednesday, reporters from the newspaper waited outside at several well-known gambling dens (run by gang members) to see if there was any lucky winner who had referred to the horse racing guide in Phoenix Daily!

If not, they also arranged for someone to be their own, and placed bets on all the possible horses, and they could be interviewed afterwards. But it is better not to use this backup if possible.

Then the gambling clubs started to curse. The gamblers had cracked the confidential information they had obtained with great difficulty! Those gamblers even knew more than them!
How is this still playing?
But those who run gambling dens cannot lose their credibility, otherwise who will come to play in the future?
We can only blame them for not reading newspapers and not studying!

Betting on horses, betting on horses directly, how exciting! On TV, on the radio, the moment the result comes out, your heart will jump out! It is much more exciting than the flower stalls! The flower stalls club may cheat, but horse racing, you can't cheat the club, right?
Horse racing is fairer!
The society scoffed at this, saying that they could still adjust the odds of the popular horse races! They just made less money, so how could the bookmaker lose money?

Encouraged by this wave of Phoenix Daily, more and more guests came. They couldn’t miss this opportunity!
They just need to adjust the way they play and exercise their brains.

Can the buyer be as smart as the seller?
snort!
It's not that Phoenix Daily doesn't report on official horse racing. It's really official horse racing. The big lottery draws two or three times a year, and the small lottery draws once a month. So once there is a horse racing competition, it is a good opportunity for outside clubs to get together.

It took only one week for Phoenix Daily to become an instant hit.

It’s not that other newspapers don’t cover horse racing, but even the most specialized horse racing newspaper is not as professional and systematic as Phoenix Daily.

There is no way, because the second largest shareholder of Phoenix Daily is Zhou Qibang.
His father Zhou Xilin was elected as a director of the Hong Kong Jockey Club in 65 and became a director of the Chinese Jockey Club.

That’s why the reporters from Phoenix Daily were able to interview those racehorses and riders and get those data and photos!
Otherwise, people will pay attention to you? What is your identity?
In Hong Kong, only those with membership in the Jockey Club are the real big shots.

Greyhound racing, in Aomen, Ho Yin's dog farm. This can only be interviewed honestly, not as detailed and profound as horse racing.

But after Phoenix Daily opened up the situation, the treatment was different when they went to interview the kennel in Macau. This was very influential in promoting the kennel. There were only a few people in Macau, and the majority of the customers were still in Hong Kong!

The official in charge of order management in the Hong Kong authorities laughed and said:
"They have a Phoenix Cinema, and we have a Phoenix Daily. Our Phoenix Daily is very popular, hahahaha!"

Yes, the name of Wang Yuanchao's newspaper, Phoenix Daily, did catch the attention of some people.

But they knew that one of the shareholders was the Zhou family, so they did not act rashly for the time being.

Then I looked at the content of the newspaper: horse racing, dog racing, beauties, pornographic novels, celebrity gossip... It was so debauched and completely contrary to what they wanted. I could tell at a glance that it did not conform to their values, and I felt relieved immediately.

We could have a few more phoenixes like this!
Who says Phoenix has to be happy? It can also be shiny and glossy.

Phoenix Daily gained fame and Commercial Radio followed suit, starting a new version of horse and greyhound racing coverage.

When there is a competition, report on the competition. When there is no competition, introduce the contestants and the dogs and horses.

The descriptions of the radio stations are vivid and impressive, and they are more profound and rich than the texts of Phoenix Daily, but this requires memory, and recording.

Of course, their strength lies in the match reporting, which can be listened to by illiterate people.

There is no need for Phoenix Daily, which is written in black and white and is suitable for cultured people.

For anyone who participates in horse and dog racing, whether it is gamblers or social groups, Hong Kong Commercial Radio and Phoenix Daily are their indispensable right-hand men.

Gambling is illegal in Hong Kong, with the exception of horse racing and mahjong.

Of course, gambling by gang members is also illegal, but that does not stop ordinary citizens from enjoying it. They can just buy a few hands for fun. What if they get rich?
