Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 165 The Land of Spices
During An Yifei’s vacation in the Principality of Pandora, there were several upsurges in Hong Kong. Later, many scholars regarded them as landmark events of the gradual transformation of Hong Kong’s urban functions.

First of all, the sensation caused by the release of the two films successively, because many fans of "Anxin" got the news that these two films will be the final work of their idols. "both broke Hong Kong Island's local box office records.

While the audience was still marveling at the stories in "Ancient and Modern" and being disturbed by the song "Burning Heart Like Fire", a song "Beautiful Myth" resounded on both sides of the Xiangjiang River again, and people were sung in two languages The heartstrings were tugged, and many people watched the movie over and over again, just to listen to the song a few more times before the record came out.

The magnificent dungeon created by Industrial Light and Magic for "Mythology" made this movie, which was released simultaneously around the world, become a "myth" among Chinese-language movies at the box office. When it was finally released, it actually reached a record-breaking US$4.1 million. level.

The upsurge caused by the film was keenly grasped by the mainland, and scenic spots in Chang'an, Jingshi and other places were opened up. Countless people from foreign countries, Hong Kong Island and other places went to travel and watch the terracotta warriors and horses.Even selling tickets for Chang'an Film and Television City has become a large amount of income, which is a result that An Yifei himself did not expect.

Of course, the soundtrack tapes and records released by the record company must have been huge sellers. They not only included the songs of the two movies, but also added other songs that An Yifei "created" in the past two years, such as Chen Hong's singing "Damp Heart" and more, terrible sales have the potential to turn this beauty into an amphibious star.

……

As spring became stronger and stronger, Hei Ling Animation took advantage of the great sales of "Wukong Biography" to launch "Sailor Moon" again. The concept of "cute" instilled in those little painters by An Yifei was applied to these works.

In Hong Kong Island, this fresh wind is like the monsoon in early summer, blowing away the dreary air in the animation industry on Hong Kong Island, and making Huang Yulang and other practitioners feel unprepared; "Wukong Biography" or the newly released "Sailor Moon" have triggered a frenzy of purchases, and the number of publications has continued to increase, and Hei Ling animation has become a hit.

……

"Ann, maritime trade has always been very profitable. Although it is no longer the age of great voyages, the cargo capacity of ships is larger and the freight is lower. The European and American markets value quality, but there is an almost completely blank area in front of our eyes. huge market”

Holding up the phone, An Yifei smiled knowingly: "You mean mainland China, right? That's why I plan to set up a trade market, and send the agricultural and sideline products over there to Pandora to solve the problem of food here. The cocoa, spices, etc. here are sold in the past; but the coffee can only be mainly sold in the European and American markets, um... help me register a trademark in the UK, and you can figure out the pattern."

"Okay then, what are you going to call it?"

"It's called... black pupil, black pupil coffee", after finishing speaking, An Yifei looked into Chang Xiaoyuan's eyes not far away, and subconsciously said the name, "I plan to gradually build it into a world-class coffee shop." of high-end coffee chain stores, which is considered an expanding industry”

"A good name, don't underestimate the catering industry, it will bring you unexpected benefits, but first you have to find a capable agent"

……

There are more than a dozen large and small islands around the main island of Manus, all of which are An Yifei's territory.The islands are rich in natural resources, and two of them are covered with natural spices. Those cloves, cardamom, etc. are not only food spices, but also raw materials for many perfumes.

The yacht pilot is a woman who immigrated to Pandora with her family. An Yifei and the pregnant Chang Xiaoyuan made up a honeymoon-like trip together.

"Sir, this is Keya Island. It was a stronghold of pirates in the early years, and its name comes from a famous pirate leader."

The driver named Hong Bei also takes on the responsibility of a tour guide, which is why she eliminated other competitors and became An Yifei's exclusive yacht driver. Her memory is very good. After visiting with any tour guide, she can repeat Description of attractions.

"Really? Find a place to stop, let's go up and have a look." Chang Xiaoyuan's pregnancy is very short, which does not affect the activities. Hearing that it used to be a stronghold of pirates, he is a little eager to try.

Knowing the level of the two of them, Hong Bei honestly stayed on the boat to rest, and did not follow the time when the light bulb affected the two of them alone.

"It's really a pirate's lair, isn't this cave natural?"

This island is like a natural castle. Except for the side where the yachts dock, the other three sides are cliffs, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.Although the area of ​​the island is small, the passageway to enter it is spiraling in. It was forcibly suppressed by the rocks and turned into a narrow path, no wonder it was used by pirates.

What surprised the two of them was that when they walked to the middle of the island and went down an artificially polished staircase, they came to a huge cave.There is also an opening in the cave on one of the cliffs, which is connected to the sea, and further outside, it is blocked by stretches of reefs, similar to a natural underground harbor.

"We came late. This place used to be a treasure trove for pirates. I don't know who was lucky enough to find it, and it was completely emptied." An Yifei pointed to the thick chains left in the cave, imagining the process of unearthing pirate treasures.

"Brother Fei, the water here is so deep, how many meters do you think it is?" Chang Xiaoyuan curiously observed the seawater pool that looked like a huge pool, and even threw a stone into it.

After closing his eyes and asking about the "Water Elements", An Yifei replied confidently: "It's very deep, the deepest point is more than 100 meters, it's considered a high-quality cave port. The condition of this island is so good that it can really be treated like a joke." Like I said, I can hide here and become a big villain that even 007 can't deal with."

"Fei Ge, you mean to go to the Soviet Union to get a few submarines to play with?"

"Smart", pulled Chang Xiaoyuan close to the cave wall, "Be careful, a big guy is about to appear"

Resisting the urge to ask, Chang Xiaoyuan stared wide-eyed, and was surprised to notice several huge black shadows swimming from the cave to the sea.

"Brother Fei, what is that?" Now she finally believed that the water in front of her was indeed 100 meters deep, because those big guys were really big.

"Sperm whales, after nobody on the island, used this place as a nest. We made a small fortune."

What happened next made Chang Xiaoyuan feel like a dream again.Following An Yifei's movements, a "hand" made of water grabbed a ball of gray stuff and "handed" it to An Yifei's hand.

Resisting the shock in his heart, Chang Xiaoyuan consciously forgot that "hand", "Brother Fei, what is this?"

"Amberx, the value of this piece is hard to estimate, um..., wait a minute, there are more than a dozen pieces left, I'll take it together"

……

"Brother Fei, so we can start a perfume company, there are so many spices on the nearby islands." After returning to the yacht, Chang Xiaoyuan managed to suppress the excitement in his heart.

"That's right, Pandora is a place full of spices..., um, we can do one, you really reminded me when you said that."

An Yifei suddenly remembered that there were perfume formulas in the miscellaneous books left by his cheap teacher. Many things in ancient China were beyond the imagination of later generations, but due to the loss of ancient books and the cliff of inheritance, later generations did not know it.

Perfume has existed as early as the Zhou Dynasty, and many formulas are even better than modern ones. After all, at that time, many alchemists relied on this to make money, and ancient men generally liked to sprinkle perfume on their bodies, so the related industries were very developed. of.

The miscellaneous books in the cave space have recorded many valuable materials, and the perfume formula is only a part of it.

Chang Xiaoyuan's energy is mainly focused on "Dark Fragrance", and she is also the best firefighting captain around An Yifei, who can replace some new industries at any time. Therefore, although she likes perfume very much, she is conscious of it. The land didn't hold onto himself.

On the way back to Stardust Island, An Yifei referred to other books to figure out the names of the medicinal materials in the formula, and then listed several perfume formulas that included the names of the current spices.

……

To An Yifei's surprise, in addition to Stephanie, among the contestants in the United States, she also met her old acquaintance, Caroline, an intercontinental policeman.

"Hey, Caroline, you didn't say hello when you participated in the competition." An Yifei looked happily at this beauty who looked like a copy of Megan Fox.

At this time, she was no longer in a police uniform, but put on a short T-shirt and a pair of jeans, fully showing her wildness, free and easy, and crispness.

"Oh, hell, Ann. I plan to wait until I win the championship to surprise you. It's not fun to be discovered by you so early."

Seeing An Yifei's bright eyes, she shrugged, "Yes, I let my team leader go to hell, I'm no longer a policeman, I want to make money with you"

"Actually, you should call me first, because I happen to have some things in my hands that need manpower. I'll call someone later."

When An Yifei called Stephanie over, Caroline hugged her waist, "We have known each other for a long time, you must know that there are not many beauties in America."

And Stephanie also responded with a lily-like movement, and the movement between the two made An Yifei feel black.

"Let's go, go to my castle manor for a drink, I have something to discuss with you"

After sitting in the convertible electric car and entering the castle, the two women were too shocked to speak.When you get closer, you will know that the main building and annex buildings are built with expensive white marble; the garden in the castle is full of flowers from all over the world, and under careful care, they are all in full bloom. Imagine how beautiful the scenery is.

The two women had long fantasized about the interior of the castle, but what they actually saw was beyond their expectations. The hall several meters high was extremely spacious, with white marble pavilion columns, Yashi white marble floor, dark red patterned curtains, and only a huge chandelier. There is some tacky gold trim.

In a tropical climate, such a tone makes people feel cool quickly, and An Yifei didn't intend to show off his wealth, so he directly led the two of them to the Binhai Garden.
