Compared with some years, 2006 was undoubtedly calm. There were no major events like the disintegration of the former alliance, and a certain country did not send troops to new areas at this time.

Of course, those areas that were already war-torn still remain.

The global situation remains stable, and the overall stability of the world will not change for a long time.

As far as the economy is concerned, the global economy is experiencing rapid growth, and it looks like it can continue to do so.

The economies of many countries have made great progress compared to before.

The concept of BRICS has been proposed for several years and is recognized by more people.

And in September, at the initiative of North Russia, the foreign ministers of the BRICS countries held their first meeting during the United Nations General Assembly.

In December, the Asian Games will be held in Doha.

This time in the Asian Games, the national football team has high hopes, but Milu did not recruit players who play in Europe, but instead recruited a large number of young players.

Young players perform well in the league, but it does not mean that they can also perform well in some competitions.

As a team that has been able to compete in the World Cup and win the championship, the national football team is very confident to do some things now.

The Asian Games and Asian Cup are meant to cultivate young players.

Chen Huaiqing did not pay too much attention to the Asian Games held in Doha.

During this period of time, he even watched less TV.

It is not easy for Meta Investment to quietly withdraw funds from the stock market.

Fortunately, the global stock market is still in the stage of rising, and funds are still flowing in.

Signs of crisis have already appeared.

For example, housing prices in the United States have stopped rising and have even fallen.

However, according to the mainstream view, this is not a big deal at all.

Logically speaking, housing prices are no longer rising and will have little impact on the economy.

But you can't stand up to a certain country's financial development, or you can play!

Innovation comes at a cost.

Just when people are counting on a better tomorrow, under the calm, there is already an undercurrent surging.

There is never a shortage of smart people. Some people have realized that subprime mortgages will be a thunderstorm. Some people are shouting and trying to eliminate this thunder, but it is already too late.

This is a mine that has entered a countdown, is waiting to explode, and cannot be dismantled.

At this time, Chen Huaiqing was on ATV.

Although ATV's main viewing group is the Chinese group, it has also achieved success in the mainland.

ATV 1 is launched in the mainland. ATV 1 is the main station of ATV. It mainly broadcasts TV series and variety shows. In addition to news, it is international news and news reviews.

And ATV 1 is all in Mandarin.

In addition, ATV also has some other professional TV channels, such as sports, news, children, etc.

Chen Huaiqing’s original plan for ATV was to use it as an external publicity platform.

Having control over the media and having your own voice channels is undoubtedly an extremely important thing.

ATV loses hundreds of millions or even billions every year, but Chen Huaiqing will firmly hold on to it.

But in fact, except for the losses incurred in the first few years after the acquisition due to excessive investment, ATV was profitable at other times.

ATV has also achieved listing. Meta Investment holds 51% of ATV's shares and has absolute controlling rights.

In Hong Kong, there are not many companies in which Meta Investment holds more than 51% of the shares.

They are all core companies of Meta Investment. For example, Conian Bank has been listed for a long time, but Meta Investment's share of Conian Bank has always maintained more than 51%.

Chen Huaiqing reviewed the situation of ATV. Now ATV's financial situation is quite good, with more than 16 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. This is undoubtedly an extremely large sum of money.

In addition to cash assets, ATV also has a building invested in billions of dollars and a performing arts center.

In addition, among the assets of ATV, there is also a community.

The community is mainly for ATV employees, so the environment is naturally quite good.

ATV's fixed assets are around 20 billion.

Including various equipment and so on.

ATV's main source of income is naturally from advertising.

The advertising revenue from variety shows is particularly high.

Therefore, ATV attaches great importance to variety shows and constantly launches new programs.

If appropriate, go for a larger one and make it more sophisticated.

There are quite a lot of types, ranging from adventure, travel, food to competitions, reality shows, etc.

Of course, there are also interviews and the like.

The questions asked in ATV's talk show are quite direct and only ask what the audience is interested in.

But I won’t say, lie one after another, hello, hello, hello, hello to everyone.

There is no dramatic conflict at all, it is too bland.

When Chen Huaiqing left ATV, he still left behind the creativity of two variety shows, Creation Camp and The Voice.

ATV also has music talent shows.

Not only the music talent show, ATV’s Miss Asia is also held every year.

For the entire Asian region, as long as you can speak Chinese, you can register to participate.

By the way, the age to register must be 18 years old, and the maximum age must not exceed 25 years old.

The Miss Asia competition attracts countless people to participate every year.

If you enter the top 100, you can get a bonus of 100,000 yuan. If you enter the top 50, you can get a bonus of 200,000 yuan. If you enter the top 20, you can get a bonus of 500,000 yuan.

If you reach the top ten, you can get a bonus of 1 million.

Note that this bonus is cumulative.

In other words, if you enter the top ten, you can get a bonus of 1.8 million.

The first place prize is 5 million, the second place is 3 million, and the third place is 2 million.

There are a total of 5 rounds of competition, with a bonus of 10 million yuan prepared for each round.

Miss Asia's arrogant practice of handing out money to contestants naturally aroused criticism from some people.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I think this is an inducement with money.

Of course, no one listened to this.

If ATV is willing to pay this amount, that is ATV's business.

Moreover, after ATV provided this money, it attracted more beauties to participate in the competition.

Some beauties come to participate just for the prize money.

Of course, there are also some beauties who come to compete for the opportunity.

ATV is only used as a display platform and will not sign contracts with contestants.

This ensures the fairness of the game to the greatest extent.

In fact, the entire competition rules and so on are clearly written on paper.

Who is eliminated is not decided by one person, nor by several people.

Rather, it is based on the points earned.

One of the points is very important, and that is the SMS voting by the audience outside the venue.

Of course, if the audience outside the venue votes by text message, it will cost one yuan per text message.

A mobile phone number can be used to vote repeatedly, and there are no restrictions on brushing votes.

Why are there restrictions?

For ATV, Huaguo Network and other communication operators, I hope everyone will invest more.

Adding advertising fees and voting income, even if ATV gives out 50 million as a bonus, ATV will still make a lot of money.

In addition to making money, Miss Asia, as ATV's iconic program, has also greatly increased ATV's overall popularity.

Every summer, I don’t know how many LSPs sit in front of the TV to watch the Miss Asia competition.

The entire competition includes quite a lot of assessment content, including a deportment competition, which also includes displays of swimwear, fashion, and Hanfu.

All will be graded.

In addition to the appearance competition, there is also a cultural competition.

Big breasts and no brains...

It should be said that just being beautiful is not enough, you must also have cultural literacy.

The cultural competition involves poetry, Chinese history and famous figures.

Other than that, it’s all about personal talent.

You can sing, dance, draw, write, etc.

The beauties who can enter the top 100 are all top-notch beauties.

After all, a lot of people apply for Miss Asia every year.
