Chapter 134 Xingtang City
Xingtang City.
It is a young emerging city.
It was less than twenty years old and the city's population was less than 300,000.
The economic pillar industry is related to a tree called "Xingtang Wood". This wood is a high-quality wood made of high-end furniture. The wood grain is clear and of good quality, and is very popular among the middle and high-end classes.
As for emerging small and medium-sized cities like Xingtang City, hundreds of them have emerged in Wancheng Country over the years.
The reason is that with the development of the economy, some joint families in big cities have become the best choice due to uneven distribution of interests and many contradictions.
So large families occupied big cities, and small families came out to create new cities, which increased the utilization rate of undeveloped land and increased the economic vitality of Wancheng Country.
Mu Family.
A family of merchants who have been passed down for a hundred years have average family strength and small assets.
Therefore, after cultivating a genius fairy, facing the Mu family, whose greedy eyes are coveted by various big families, and whose strength and accumulation are not enough, they can only turn the businessman's brain and maximize their interests in unfavorable circumstances.
While not offending all the family to issue marriage requests, we find the best Taoist couple for Mu Feiyan.
He also played advertisements for his Mu Family Furniture in the nationally-prominent bride competition.
After arriving in Xingtang City.
After getting off the passenger plane, Zhou Ming and others went straight to the city lord's mansion to inquire about registration.
August 6th is the last day of the registration deadline. The contestants will be grouped on the seventh, and the fight will be officially started on the eighth.
Registration point.
A man who looks like a housekeeper said, "It's an hour away to get the deadline. Fortunately, you guys came in time."
The butler then asked Zhou Ming’s name, which city came from, what status does that family have in the family?
"Bai Feiyang, Xuan Qingcheng, Bai family, eldest grandson."
Zhou Ming did not use a pseudonym, so he answered truthfully.
"Xun Qingcheng... Bai family?"
The housekeeper thought hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up and asked, "Is it the Xuanqingcheng, which is famous for exporting Xuanqing fruits and raising pot and pot rabbits?"
The housekeeper became full of joy: "Okay, great, great, I will write your name on it immediately and put it on the list of Group A!"
It turns out that the Mu family will also conduct investigations and screens for applicants from cities across the country.
The main reference target is the GDP rankings of each city and the asset value rankings of each family. There is a magazine named Fortune, which analyzes and counts every year, and the data obtained is quite accurate.
There are too many families coveting the qualifications and appearance of Mu Feiyan. Among the thousands of cities in Wancheng Country and 80,000 or 9,000 of the tens of thousands of families came to sign up.
Excluding those who have fake age, poor family, disabled and ugly appearance, only a thousand people actually registered.
These more than a thousand people were divided into four groups: ABCD based on their family assets and strength.
Of course, the threshold for Group A is the highest. It is said that only if the family assets exceed 3 billion spiritual coins and more than two immortals can be assigned to Group A.
Is the Bai family in Xuanqingcheng more than 3 billion yuan?
That's for sure.
Fortune magazine conducted statistics and found that the GDP ranking of Hyun Qingcheng could not even enter the top 100 in Wancheng Middle School, but the assets held by the Bai family in Hyun Qingcheng exceeded 5 billion spiritual coins, ranking 55th in the family asset ranking list and maintaining a rapid upward momentum.
As for the high-end strength of the Bai family, there is currently one immortal and two immortal guest officials.
So, now the Bai family is a veritable "high, rich and handsome" family. How could it be divided into "D Group" of silk "Tower" with only 100 million spiritual coins at the threshold?
Feeling the butler's incomparable enthusiasm, Zhou Ming shook his head and sighed: "This martial arts competition is really a comparison of everything. The wisdom of the merchant family cannot be accepted."
After registration is completed.
I moved into the upper-class villa arranged by the Mu family.
Then wait.
Waiting for the introduction of the competition rules and the announcement of the list of contestants... In fact, Wan Chengguo's are already quite prosperous in the arena culture, and various competition rules are very perfect, which can ensure that they are very fair to every contestant to the greatest extent.
However, on August 7, after the competition rules formulated by the Mu family were released, the sound of "bearing a gang" immediately became popular!
Especially the contestants who were assigned to the three groups B, C and D were smashing the table and cursing.
Why?
Because the rules of the competition are quite unfavorable to the players in these three groups.
After these three groups are required to be eliminated at all levels, the group champions of the three groups will then compete with each other. The final winner will be eligible to enter the round of 16 elimination match in Group A.
In other words, even if some players in these three groups can emerge and win the group championship, if they want to win the final championship, they will have to go through several rounds of elimination battles.
What's even more fucking is that in terms of the rhythm of the game, the three BCD groups require a complete match within three days, that is, an average of three games a day will be compared.
The pace of the competition in Group A is five days, with an average of less than two games a day.
So in terms of restoring spiritual energy, mental power and even physical strength, at a fast pace, the players in the BCD group three had no time to recover.
Even if someone can stand in the top 16 in Group A, he will not be able to go much far if he is exhausted.
Therefore, the Mu family’s rules are not to give BCD players any chance.
There was a lot of angrily scolding for this.
"Mu Zhenquan, can you be more shameless?"
"Dear the poor and love the rich, Mu Zhenquan, are you marrying a daughter or selling a daughter? Are you choosing a husband or a rich man?"
“Unfair, this is unfair!”
"Change the rules immediately, otherwise we will withdraw from the competition together!"
The contestants scolded Mu Zhenquan, the head of the Mu family, and asked to adjust the rules of the competition immediately!
This request was of course rejected by the Mu family.
The butler of the Mu family said toughly: "Whoever wants to withdraw from the competition can withdraw immediately, no one will stop you."
The players wanted to beat the housekeeper up and then quit the competition, but no one took action.
No one withdrew from the competition.
Because the probability of marrying Mu Feiyan in the competition is one in ten thousand, if you withdraw from the competition, you will directly become 0.
No one is willing to give up this one in ten thousand chance.
Everyone has a glimmer of hope.
As for the players in Group A, they were of course very satisfied with the Mu family's rules and agreed.
They were also sarcastic about the reactions of the BCD group and collectively hehe.
"You are also qualified to participate in this kind of competition?"
"Really, don't join in the fun of a small family. Can you get involved in my concubine?"
"The family's total assets are not even 3 billion, and I don't have the desire to talk to him."
"Without money, how can I give Feiyan a sense of happiness and security? My Zheng family's assets exceed 10 billion yuan, and I am the most suitable Feiyan!"
"Haha, the assets are 10 billion yuan. Do you dare to compete with the Zhang family in Zhenlincheng? One of the fingers of the Zhang family is thicker than the waist of your Zheng family."
"The Zhang family is indeed rich, but the Zhang family did not send their nephews to participate in the competition. The most tycoon from the Zhang family is my Wu family."
"The Linxia family in my town is not bad at all!"
These young masters from various families began to compete with each other.
In this scene, Zhou Ming shook his head secretly.
When did the people of Wancheng Kingdom become so materialistic and love-comparing?
The Mu family also held a martial arts competition to recruit brides, but it turned out to be so vulgar and vain, and the merchant's face was completely visible.
However, in public opinion, few people expressed dissatisfaction and condemnation, but instead thought this was normal.
The social atmosphere is very distorted.
Zhou Ming didn't want to say much about this. The most difficult thing to change in this world is concepts and thoughts. If you want to change, you can only rely on time to slowly settle down.
...
It was August 8th in a blink of an eye.
The marriage competition for recruiting parents has officially begun.
dozens of professional arenas have been built in the north of Xingtang City.
Next to the Group A competition area, a high platform for watching the game was also built.
The audience was filled with the high platform.
The protagonist of this competition - Mu Feiyan, the daughter of the Mu family, has a white veil. Accompanied by two maids, she sat upright in front of a guqin, staring at the bottom with her beautiful eyes.
Seeing the goddess in my heart watching me on the platform, the contestants in Group A's competition area accelerated and their hearts were surging.
On the ring number nine.
In front of Zhou Ming, there was a tall and fluttering boy with tall clothes standing.
He turned his head and looked at the goddess on the high platform, then he was full of fighting spirit, pointed the sword in his hand at Zhou Ming, twisted his neck and said, "Whoever dares to stop me from marrying Concubine Yan will suffer humiliation under this sword!"
"You miscellaneous fish, are you qualified to speak out?"
Chapter completed!
