86. Miss America’s way of making money(1/3)

 Fanxing Entertainment is not only a name, but also means an office space.

In order to make the Miss America contest look powerful enough, Downey decided to move the offices of Star Entertainment to the Ocean Building, the only office building in Atlantic City.

It is said to be an ocean building, but in fact this floor is only four stories high.

Fanxing Entertainment's office is on the fourth floor of the Ocean Building. The entire Fanxing Entertainment office area is more than 300 square meters, divided into a Downey's office, a conference room, and then the entire office area.

The decoration here was completed today, and Downey brought Dwight here.

Sitting in his office, Downey can clearly see the Atlantic Ocean.

The office staff of Fanxing Entertainment also moved here from the previous temporary office location, the Reitz Hotel.

Although the entire company is small, it is well-organized. Downey serves as chairman and general manager, and has five major departments: Organization Department, Accounting Department, Operations Department, Logistics Department, and Advertising Department!

But in fact, the managers of these departments only have their own independent desk and a relatively small area of ​​their own in the huge office area.

Although the company personnel were all recruited by Downey through recruitment, Downey was still very troubled by the abilities of these people.

Atlantic City is a very strange city. Its prosperity is as prosperous as any other big city in the United States, but its business model is too monotonous.

Pubs, casinos, boarding houses, hotels, banks and engineering companies are almost the entire business model here.

It is precisely because of this abnormal development model that there are no other decent companies here, and the young people here have either joined gangs, or they serve the alcohol, gambling, and women of Atlantic City. Some young people are going to college.

The only people who can come back are lawyers, doctors, and some accounting personnel.

As for other people, after passing the exam, they will basically never come back!

So as for the staff of Fanxing Entertainment, Downey doesn’t think so about how capable they are.

In the end, Downey had no choice but to find someone taller and hired the current staff.

"Boss, as of now, Atlantic City has received a total of 183 female registrations. Although it is slightly less than the number we previously expected, I think it is acceptable!"

In the conference room of Fanxing Entertainment, organization manager Tom Hudson held a stack of reports and said to Downey.

When Downey heard this number, he didn't have any dissatisfaction. In fact, Downey was satisfied with this number. After all, most women in this era still tend to be conservative.

Although some young women are already very open-minded.

But they still have parents above them. Their parents don’t know how open they are in private, but it’s impossible for their parents to not know about such an open and aboveboard competition.

In fact, Tom Hudson has told Downey more than once that after some girls signed up, their parents directly approached the company and demanded that their children's registration forms be taken out immediately, otherwise they would sue Fanxing Entertainment.

Court!

"Don't focus all your attention on those ordinary girls. The strippers in Atlantic City are all willing to show off their figures!"

Although the number of people has reached Downey's satisfaction level, Downey will still be happier if more girls join in.

When Tom Hudson heard Downey's idea, he showed a shocked expression: "Boss, you mean those strippers can also join the Miss America election?"

Donnie spread his hands, "Why not? Aren't they women? Or are their figures not graceful enough?"

Jim Chugol, the manager of the operations department, said: "Boss, what Hudson means is that he is worried that if we let these strippers join in, will it have some bad impact on our beauty pageant?"

Downey laughed and said, "Are you trying to tell me that the Miss America election will give you a good reputation now?"

Breaking through the shackles of an era will always lead to dissatisfaction from the old school.

Especially these old-schoolers still have the right to speak in society.

In Atlantic City, except for Downey's "Atlantic City Post", which is sparing no effort to promote the Miss America election, the other three newspapers are attacking the Miss America election with the same intensity!

To put it simply, the current Miss America election is absolutely popular in Atlantic City, but there is not enough goodwill.

If you were to interview ordinary people in Atlantic City, out of four people, three would say it was offensive, and only one would support it implicitly!

Looking at the silent crowd, Downey said in a deep voice: "Now I will tell you for the last time about the Miss America pageant. What we want is attention, national attention. I don't care whether this attention is good or not.

, it’s still bad, I just want attention!”

Black fans are also fans!

Downey, who has experienced the era of information explosion, understands the truth of this sentence very well.

When something is done, what you should worry about is not whether people say it is good or bad, but you should pay more attention to whether anyone is discussing it.

"Do you understand my request now?"

Seeing Downey's look, everyone immediately nodded to express their understanding.

Tom Hudson even said directly: "I will contact Robinson of the "Atlantic City Post" soon and announce our conditions!"

Danny nodded with satisfaction.

Jim Chugor said: "Boss, the company's staff stationed in other cities have also sent telegrams. Their situation is better than Atlantic City. After all, these cities are super cities, so I want to ask,

To adapt to the conditions of Atlantic City, should we also open it to several other cities?"

Downey nodded matter-of-factly and said: "Of course, the United States is a country of equality and freedom. Do you want women in those cities to say that we are engaging in regional discrimination?"

Ollie Drew, the manager of the advertising department, said with some embarrassment: "Boss, if this is the case, our advertising investment may have some troubles. The brands we are contacting now already have a strong interest in the Miss America election.

Skeptical attitude, if we let go of this condition, I'm worried that they will give up for the sake of their company's reputation!"

"Drew, you have to remember one thing!" Downey looked at Oli Drew and said in a deep voice: "Our main sponsors have been determined. As for the small sponsors, you don't have to worry about what they think.

, as long as our event is successful enough, it will be enough to attract the attention of the entire United States.

Then when the time comes, they will definitely give up their poor pride for the traffic we can provide!"

Brand honor?

Such a statement simply does not hold true for Downey. In Downey's view, in this world and even in the world later on, there is a brand that counts as one, and all the so-called brand honors they promote actually have only one purpose.
p>

That is to make it easier to sell your products!

European businessmen discovered diamond mines in Africa, so they made diamonds into a symbol of love, harvesting the wallets of generations of women.

If the world doesn't need women for diamonds, but men, then they can even make diamonds a symbol of friendship from the very beginning.

The same is true for celebrity endorsements in later generations. Once a scandal occurs with a certain celebrity, the brand will immediately announce the termination of the contract with the other party.

Do you think they really care about their brand reputation?

No, it's because they understand that this scandal is enough for this star to lose his fans, and if he is blocked, he will lose the traffic he brings.

If this star is not banned and his fans have sufficient purchasing power, then this brand will definitely not give up on this star, and some brands will even continue to look for ways to cooperate with him.

For specific information, please refer to a certain popular celebrity in later generations. His fans were so happy at that time that even the official media stopped talking.

But so what?

Xiaoxianrou only needs to be quiet for a period of time before it can come back immediately. The so-called national brand will still go to the pole to sign a contract with the other party.

Therefore, brand honor, brand culture, etc. are just used by companies to deceive people.

And Downey now has a huge advantage. American women are currently in the enlightenment stage of open thinking, and the only company in the United States that does beauty pageants is Fanxing Entertainment.

Under such circumstances, the Miss America competition is bound to become the focus of heated discussion among the people.

Who will care about what the girls who come to the beauty pageant do?

And it’s not like Downey has no way to deal with these people!

When other people in the conference room saw Downey's firm statement, they naturally said nothing.

Later, Terry Rollins, the manager of the accounting department, told Downey that all the money had been deposited into the Miss America Pageant's account.

Downey was satisfied with this.

After the meeting, Downey returned to his office, where John was already waiting.

"Things in the West District are going on in an orderly manner now. Eli knew that I came to see you today, so he asked me to ask you when the auction can be held!"

Under the absolute suppression of force, although there was a certain chaos in the West District at the beginning, it has now entered a stage of orderly development from the chaotic stage.

However, in order to avoid causing unnecessary conflicts, the entire West District has begun auctions on a street-by-street basis.

"Did Eli say what Nucky thought about this matter?"

Donnie asked John.

John said: "Eli said that Nucky talked to Eli about this matter after he came back from Washington, and Nucky's only worry was that if so many pubs, boarding houses, and casinos were removed at once, the West End would be empty.

What should be done with the houses that come down?"

The number of houses on the streets of the West End is fixed. Before this, these houses could be used as pubs, boarding houses, and casinos. But now these businesses cannot be opened because of Downey's plan, although because of the auction

fees, increased regulatory fees and other expenses to make up for these costs.

But this will also make the West District look a little empty.

Downey said: "It's very simple. These places that can survive this change will definitely be expanded, which solves part of the vacancy problem. As for the remaining places, they can completely open pharmacies, restaurants, and billiards."

Halls, amusement parks, boutiques, any place where tourists can eat, drink and have fun."

John asked: "Then how to attract other people to come here to open such a shop? We can't persuade them one by one, right?"
