My Phone Can Swipe Money

459: gimmick

Before Tang Wen really did not expect that there would be so many beautiful girls in Huaxia who were so obsessed with being famous. In fact, it's no wonder that Huaxia's art academies graduate tens of thousands every year.

Let's put it this way, girls who can rely on art schools are generally not bad in appearance, and they include many related departments such as composition, opera, dance, and musical instruments.

Among these people, those who can be famous are usually very good if there are one or two in a school, and more people still engage in jobs that are different from their majors after graduation.

Now the conditions offered by Xiao Wang are not just as simple as attracting people. Even some girls who are engaged in other industries and think they look good have signed up.

After all, this is a talent show jointly launched by MQ Group and Xiao Wang's Panda. If he can be shortlisted, the future will be bright, no matter how bad the 50 million bonus is quite attractive.

Shanghai has always been known as the "fashion" capital, so the number of people who signed up in Shanghai this time directly exceeded 50,000.

Looking at the piles of application forms in front of him, Tang Wen smiled and said, "What's the matter, isn't there a few places for students Xiao Wang to submit?"

"Tch, let's be fair and just this time." Xiao Wang said with a guilty conscience.

Qin Feng covered his mouth with a sneer and said, "Come on, it's fair, isn't your little internet celebrity girlfriend already selected as the 100 this time?"

"Hey, keep a low profile." Xiao Wang smiled awkwardly when he saw his little trick was exposed.

Tang Wen didn't say anything about it. After all, it's impossible for you to say that there is nothing shady about such a talent show. But the top 100 doesn't matter much to the overall draft, so it's fine.

But it's hard to say later, after the top ten in each competition area are selected, it will not be so easy to operate.

"I'll go, are all the people from the Nima Huaxia Dance Troupe here?" Qin Feng said speechlessly holding a registration form.

Tang Wen took a look at the corner of his mouth twitching and said, "This is really a bit of a struggle."

The girl on the registration form in Qin Feng's hand looks very pure and has a very good figure. The key is that this guy has won the first prize of domestic ballet several times.

People like this have come to participate, one can imagine how cruel this competition is.

"Hmm, she looks pretty good, but her breasts are a bit small." Xiao Wang leaned over to have a look, and commented.

Qin Feng was speechless: "Cut, he is a ballet dancer, how can he dance with big breasts?"

"Eh? What? I take the liberty to ask the two "teachers" that if they have big breasts, they can't dance ballet?" Tang Wen snickered.

Xiao Wang nodded and said, "That's necessary, who can stand the trembling of ballet with big breasts?"

"Hahaha" the three laughed loudly.

Although it was just a joke, but from the people in the registration list, it can be seen that all the beauties participating in this competition are "strength".

Tang Wen glanced casually and found several good seedlings. The occupations of the contestants are also varied, including waiters, receptionists, clerks, bank staff, teachers, students and even doctors and nurses.

"This posture is quite big." Tang Wen sighed.

Xiao Wang said very proudly: "That's natural. Don't think that we are just a variety show. A bonus of 50 million is not a small sum, let alone guess where I chose the finals. gone?"

"Where?" Tang Wen asked curiously.

Qin Feng is also quite puzzled, classmate Xiao Wang really hasn't told him about this matter.

"William Castle, how is it? Is it amazing? Is it unexpected?" Xiao Wang said proudly.

Tang Wen was a little puzzled and asked, "Fort William? Is it famous?"

Qin Feng looked like a ghost: "Old Tang, do you really not know or fake? Castle William is the largest castle in England. It is said that the last auction cost 1 billion pounds."

"Oh? What's the matter? I don't know very well." Tang Wen said in surprise. He really didn't pay much attention to this kind of castle.

There is no way that some foreign castles need to pay taxes every year, which is not a small amount, and you can only repair the appearance and internal structure of the castle, not build a new one.

So Tang Wen has never been very interested in the castle. After all, he has a lot of "things". If it can't be expanded, buying a castle is just tasteless to him.

"Something's wrong, Old Tang. With your personality, shouldn't it mean that I will buy one too." Xiao Wang questioned, and Qin Feng was also very puzzled.

According to Tang Wen's previous personality, this is all "little money".

"Cut, what's the use of buying it? You can't build a new building? You can't build some modern things in it. Why buy a castle and use it as a coffin?" Tang Wen said speechlessly.

After listening to Tang Wen's words, the two nodded thoughtfully. The facts are similar to what Tang Wen said. Castles in many parts of Europe are now for sale, but there are many people who are willing to buy land to build luxury houses, but very few people are willing to buy a castle.

There is no way that the English government stipulates that these castles are "cultural heritage" and cannot be built on the original basis. They can only be repaired and maintained at a sky-high price every year.

You must know that the money to buy a castle is enough for you to buy three times the size of the land and build a luxurious manor yourself, not to mention some designated restoration procedures are all sky-high prices.

So why are castles in many parts of Europe now in disrepair. It's not that they don't want to repair it, but they really can't afford the price to repair it.

Not to mention the "property tax" set by that old woman in England, that is what really kills people.

This is why many ancient castles have begun to open to the outside world during this period of time. There is no way that they can't even pay the land tax if they don't make some money from the outside world.

The old women in England did a deadly job on these former Western "nobles". More than 90% of the nobles are now in ruins, and only a few lucky ones can continue to guard their territories.

The reason for targeting the nobles of England so much is to start with the deal made by the old woman and the cabinet in the early years.

Most of the rights in England before were in the hands of these so-called "nobles". At that time, most of England, whether it was the army or the parliament, was dominated by "nobles".

This embarrasses the royal family. In order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the old woman began to do it quietly. First of all, she adopted the tax system and human nature.

The high tax made some aristocrats with poor pockets start to sell their family's collections everywhere, but the collections will be sold out one day, but the taxation will not stop because you have no money.

The second is that the old woman made up the "pretense" of the previous equestrian exchange meeting. Although it is an equestrian exchange meeting in name, in fact it is also a demonstration of the strength of one's own family.

Those down-and-out aristocrats who have no money don't even have a good horse, they even sold their own family's equestrian equipment. They are naturally embarrassed to participate in this kind of horse fair with nothing, so some relationships began to fade slowly.

Rich families will only "marry" or "talk to" those who are richer than themselves, and those who have no money will slowly leave the circle, or be slowly isolated stand up.

At this time, the pros and cons come out, if you want to keep your ancestral business or your own title. Then the inherited ancestral property must be kept. If he gives up the ancestral property, it means that he has given up his status as a nobleman.

At this time, the down-and-out nobles are in a dilemma. On the one hand, they have no money, and on the other hand, rich nobles don't bother to associate with them. As a last resort, they can only sell their ancestral property and leave the circle.

No one would have imagined that the old woman in England used only the name of an equestrian exchange meeting to make more than 90% of the nobles in England give up their "territory" that belonged to them.

This is why many people in Europe are scrambling to sell their ancestral homes during this period. There's no way this old woman's hands are too dark.

It's okay for the Templars, after all, they are in a group. But it will be difficult for some small nobles and some down-and-out families prepared by England.

For them, keeping their ancestral property and titles means adding money to it all the time, and if they want to maintain their social status, they must participate in the so-called equestrian exchange meeting.

But raising horses requires money, and training horses requires money. What kind of clothes do you wear on various occasions without spending money? So some people directly let their ancestral houses crumble in the wind and sun, and some people simply sold their ancestral properties cruelly and ran to the big cities to develop.

The William Castle that Xiao Wang mentioned is very big.

It is said that this ancient castle is known as the fief of "Prince Hunter". It is also the best-preserved castle in England, and the value of the antiques inside exceeds hundreds of millions of pounds.

But as early as 1970, after the last legal heir of Prince Hunter died of illness, his nephew sold the castle with a history of more than 100 years to the Carter Group in England.

You may not know what the Carter Group said, but everyone knows about Rolls-Royce. The Carter Group is the current owner of Rolls-Royce.

The Carter Group, which bought William's Castle, also had a good time at the beginning, but as time went by. Old Carter, who bought the castle, found that it was a bottomless pit.

The annual maintenance and maintenance costs are already more than several million pounds, not to mention a lot of "taxes".

Old Carter was so excited at the beginning that he got annoyed later. So in 2000, he borrowed the old castle to shoot a Hollywood movie.

Unexpectedly, Castle William unexpectedly became popular. Old Carter, who heard the unexpected news, simply thought of renting Castle William as a scenic spot.

There is only one principle, as long as you give money and ensure that no property is damaged, you can do whatever you want inside. Although the income is "ordinary".

But it is enough to maintain and deal with "taxes".

This time, Xiao Wang plans to invest 10 million US dollars to directly rent Castle William for the next month.

"How about it? I have a good idea." Xiao Wang said enthusiastically.

Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "I sound pretty good, what do you think, Old Tang?"

"Tch, what are you doing all over England for a Chinese beauty pageant? It's a little bit wrong." Tang Wen thought about it and expressed his opinion.

"Then what do you mean?" Xiao Wang was a little puzzled.

Tang Wen smiled and said: "According to me, just build a large garden with a Chinese style, and a beauty contest held in China must use a Chinese style."

"I really think about it. There are at least 100 to 200 people in the finals. Where the hell am I going to organize such a big yard?" Xiao Wang said with a wry smile.

Suddenly Qin Feng and Xiao Wang both looked at Tang Wen with malicious intentions.

"Damn it, what do you see me doing?" Tang Wen's mouth twitched.

Classmate Xiao Wang said meanly: "Old Tang, I heard about your Tang residence."

"Enen, the style of Tang Mansion is definitely enough." Qin Feng nodded.

Tang Wen scolded angrily: "Fuck off, you're such an awesome filming a variety show and even let people go to your house to film it."

"Shall you save face, Old Tang?" Classmate Xiao Wang said meanly.

"Damn, I didn't discuss it." Tang Wen was speechless. How could this idiot come up with his own idea while talking?

In the end, Tang Wen was so annoyed by these two people that he had no choice but to allow only the top 10 contestants in the country to take a group photo. And private areas cannot be entered.

"Old Tang is righteous enough." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Xiao Wang's eyes brightened and he said: "The photo of China's No. 1 mansion, hahaha, this time the goddess is here, it's hard to think about it."

After the decision was made, Xiao Wang called his assistant and asked him to put the latest news on the top of MQ and Panda Live.

"On July 7th, (the goddess is here) will take you into the No. 1 mansion in China."

MQ Video went crazy after receiving the news. Known as the country's largest mansion, the private residence of the mysterious boss of WF Group is a very good gimmick.

Although everyone knows that the owner of WF Group has a mansion in Shanghai, no one knows what it looks like inside. Aerial photography has not yet risen much, and everyone's curiosity is also very important.

It is said that as soon as the news came out, the number of people who signed up that day doubled again.

Many Fengshui masters took the satellite image of "Tang Mansion" and blew it at that time.

"What is the purple air coming from the east", "Fushou double arrival", "green dragon hiding water", "dragon ascending to heaven", all kinds of patterns are blowing. This made the majority of netizens curious about what it looks like inside the "Tang Mansion", which is known as the No. 1 mansion in China.

Regarding this, Tang Wen went to toss along with Xiao Wang and Qin Feng. Anyway, as long as it doesn't involve his own private area, it's their business how they mess around.

If someone else showed off their wealth like this, the majority of netizens would probably yell at them. But the boss of WF Group? Everyone is still very sensible, after all, WF Group's "charitable" actions during this period are obvious to all.

Not to mention that the "jellyfish retarder" invented by WF Group has saved countless lives. The key is that they have set a low price very thoughtfully.
