MTL - America’s Road To Wealth-v2 Chapter 449 Treasures and Southeast Asian Flavors

  Chapter 449 Treasures and Southeast Asian Style

  When Akihiko Kuroda struggled all night and stayed up until the morning before he just rested.

  Singapore, 5,300 kilometers away from Tokyo.

  Bright and bright sunshine poured into the bedroom, waking Abel up from his sleep.

  Holding out his hand to cover his sleepy eyes, he yawned and stretched comfortably on the big Simmons.

   "Huh—"

   It has been almost a week without a woman by my side.

   To be honest, I really feel a little lonely.

  The key is that it has overflowed several times.

  If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't let Karla go back first, but let her accompany me.

  Picked off the blanket, walked into the bathroom, washed and rinsed, changed into a set of white shorts and T-shirt and went downstairs.

  In the living room, after receiving a glass of warm water from David Jones, Abel took a big sip, put it on the table, turned on the TV, picked up the newspaper on the table and opened it.

  After browsing a local newspaper, Abel couldn't help shaking his head.

  Singapore is too small, and the content of local news reported by newspapers here is almost the same as that of Hong Kong Island.

  In Abel’s eyes, they are all trivial matters.

  It is difficult for such a small country and region to raise elites with broad vision.

   There are local elites, but compared with the elites raised by big countries, they are far inferior in many aspects.

   This is not the elites in these places, not comparable to the elites in those big countries and regions.

   is that they are inherently limited, which is a situation that is difficult to change.

   Putting down the newspaper, Abel picked up several other English daily newspapers. These newspapers report exclusively international news, with a major focus on Europe and North America.

   But what Abel cares about now is more news from Asia.

  He picked and found out news about Asia.

   Sure enough, in these newspapers, there are a lot of reports about Neon's recent economy, politics, and even military affairs.

  In the newspapers, it can be seen that Neon's recent economic situation is very unstable, and there are many bullish and bearish arguments.

   People who don’t know, think that Neon has experienced some special period and special event.

  Actually, Abel knew that this was the result of the fierce confrontation between his own media power and the enemy's media power.

  Many times, there are struggles and confrontations in international financial markets and even in international business circles.

   The confrontation is often not only the industry itself, but also outside the industry.

  Nothing is more typical than Huayao, which is facing the competition from Europe and the United States head-on.

   As a last resort, the Americans chose to move outside the market, and various sanctions finally killed its mobile phone business.

  With the strength of the world's most powerful country, doing so seems a little invincible.

   But the American, or Angsa, character is like this.

   is a particularly double-standard group.

   I can **** you, it's for seed oil and cooking.

  But you can’t mess with me, you messed with me, that’s because you’re immoral, unfair, and dishonest.

  Abel can see that at least in the current international discourse, the confrontation between the enemy and the enemy is still at a disadvantage.

   This is already commendable.

   This is because the oil people are basically in a neutral state, and even secretly help their side.

  If it were replaced by other people to fight against this enemy, the public opinion of the whole world would definitely be one-sided.

   Putting down a few English newspapers, Abel raised his hand, motioning for David Jones to have breakfast delivered.

  Breakfast today is very Singapore-style kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs, coffee, and rojak.

  The Southeast Asian characteristics of these breakfasts are very obvious, integrating the food characteristics of the Chinese, Malay, and Indian ethnic groups.

   These three ethnic groups also account for more than 95% of the population of Singapore.

  Abel, who is used to eating big fish and meat for breakfast, thinks it’s good to be light occasionally.

  At this time, Edward walked in, "Good morning, boss."

   "Good morning, sit down first, let's have some food together." Abel invited with a smile.

   "Thank you boss, I have already eaten."

   As he spoke, Edward sat down and glanced at David standing gracefully beside Abel.

   There was also the maid who was serving carefully, and then he and Abel looked at each other.

  Abel nodded to David, and David smiled and said to the maids, "Go down first."

   "Okay, sir, you can enjoy it slowly, if you need anything, please call at any time."

  The maids bowed slightly and left after speaking softly.

  When the maid left, only David, Abel, and himself were left, Edward lowered his voice and said:

   "Boss, it has been found. It is indeed as you said, the treasure exists, and the quantity and value are temporarily unknown."

  Abel nodded, seeing Edward's shocked expression, he smiled slightly.

  Leaving from Hong Kong Island before, during the stay in Thailand.

  Abel was there, but he didn't just sit around doing nothing all day long.

  In Thailand, Abel asked Johnson and several other rock security staff to quietly leave the main force.

  The team left Abe and traveled from Thailand to India.

   And their job in India was to verify Abel's unclear memory.

  This memory is Abel before his rebirth, who read a news article about the treasures of Indian temples on the Internet.

  The news said that in Kerala, Asan, there is a Padmanabhaswamy temple.

  Most of the treasures on the surface of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple were scraped away during the rule of the Great Yin Empire, who was not the Son of Man.

   But there are still some survivors, and 6 secret rooms have not been opened.

  Later, in the first secret room that was opened, the three buddies discovered that the value of the treasure in it was amazing.

According to reports, there are more than 1,200 gold chains about 2.7 meters long and 2.5 kilograms in weight, 3 pure gold crowns, various gold jewelry weighing nearly 1 ton, diamonds, antiques, precious stones, and 17 kilograms of gold chains from the East India Company period. There are gold coins, 18 coins from the Napoleonic period, a small gold elephant, a 3.5-foot Vishnu statue studded with diamonds and precious stones, and other treasures, and these are just the treasures contained in a secret room.

  There are five places behind, and the media on the third brother's side said that the total value of the contents may exceed 100 billion US dollars.

   After reading this report, Abel was amazed, but he didn't quite believe it.

  The reason is very simple. The third brother is famous all over the world for his bragging rights.

  If other countries send out such a great treasure, Abel will believe it.

   But this is third brother's news.

  Following up, Ah San's government did not release any actual photos of the treasure until Abel's rebirth, which caused a lot of controversy among the third brother and all walks of life about the value of the treasure.

  With the personality of the Indians, if such a super treasure is really dug up, Abel feels that they would definitely want to travel around the world for people to see.

  But there was no movement at all behind, which really didn't fit the character of the third brother.

  So Abel feels that there may be two truths.

  One is the Padmanabaswamy Temple, which may have really dug out so many treasures.

  Precisely because the treasures are so attractive and valuable, the upper echelon of the three buddies swallowed it by themselves, and digested it internally.

   That's why there was no movement behind.

  This is something that can happen in India.

  In this magical kingdom, all kinds of magical things are possible.

   Another possibility is that the Padmanabaswamy Temple does not have so many treasures at all.

  Maybe a small part, and then it was frantically exaggerated by the media of the third brother, making a big news, for the attention of people, and for the inexplicable self-confidence and pride of the third brother.

  However, there may not be so many treasures afterwards.

  In order to avoid blowing out the cowhide, the authorities of the third brother chose to downplay the news of this treasure.

   But, these two possibilities don't matter to Abel.

  According to this part of his memory, Abel picked out a group of trustworthy people in the rock security, and asked them to investigate quietly.

  Now, what Edward came to report was the result of the investigation by this group of people.

   "Since it really exists, let's start preparing according to the plan."

  Abel said to Edward: "Secrecy is paramount. After all, India is different from other countries. It has strong independence. Do you understand what I mean?"

  Edward nodded, knowing that the boss was right.

  Although the third brother likes to brag, after all, such a good piece of land is there, and the population is also very large.

  Even if most of them are "livestock", the base number is large, and the number of geniuses and elites is also large.

  In addition to the superior geographical location, there is also a relationship with the United Kingdom.

  Facing the Ah San authorities, the pressure is still great at the company level.

   And this kind of thing, don't make too much fanfare.

   It is not possible to let the U.S. military soldiers drive straight in like it did to a small country like Afghanistan.

   Only a small group of special operations can take their time.

   Fortunately, before the treasure was discovered, the Padmanabaswamy Temple was a place that neither parents nor mothers loved.

  The Varma royal family, the descendant of the earth king, who is in charge of managing this place, because it does not have much oil and water, has mismanaged the temple for a long time.

  In the parallel time and space, the treasure was discovered because the Varma royal family did not pay enough attention to the temple, which caused the temple to be a little deserted.

   Eventually they were appealed, and the management rights were taken back by the Asan authorities, and they were only discovered during the inventory.

   "Use plan A first." Abel set the tone directly, "David, let Alan start the operation. And Edward, you are always ready for plan b. If plan A fails, start plan B."

  It's David's turn to nod with Edward this time.

  After finishing talking about the temple.

   "Boss, I think it is necessary to increase the security level. If possible, it would be best to live in the Changi base." David said softly suddenly.

  Abel understood what David Jones meant.

   The confrontation has begun.

  Although there is a bottom line in terms of unspoken rules, sometimes the benefits are touching.

   In the face of huge interests, the bottom line can be completely discarded.

   Don’t overestimate the morality of the Angsa people, the ocean civilization has never paid much attention to this aspect.

   If possible, Abel even wants to go back to the United States now.

   But didn't you encounter this kind of thing on the way out?

   Until the dust settles, it is safest to stay still for the time being.

Abel shook his head, "I can't even guarantee the reliability of Ellis and Benjamin. What's more, even if they are reliable, what about the rest of the Changi base? Who can guarantee that the tens of thousands of soldiers in the base are all obedient? Unless There is turmoil, otherwise it is not a good choice to live in the base."

  Seeing Abel's statement, David nodded slightly again, not continuing this topic.

   After breakfast, Abel went to the financial safe house in the seaside manor villa.

  Singapore is expensive, but there are still villas.

   It’s just the price, it’s in the sky.

   Not much worse than the villas on the Upper West and Upper East of Manhattan.

   Not to mention that Abel went into the safe house and continued with his day job.

   Not far from his villa.

  Siroso Beach, in a temporarily closed bar.

  Last night, Chen Xiuli, who just came back from the mainland of China, met Guo Feili, who was filming "Eternal Sword and Dragon Slayer" with her in the bar not long ago.

  In the TV series, Chen Xiuli plays Xiao Zhao, Zhang Wuji's maid.

  Guo Feili plays Zhang Wuji's mother Yin Susu.

  Because they are both actors from Singapore, they have a good relationship in the crew.

  However, Guo Feili has few roles, so she has already finished filming and left the scene.

   Unlike Chen Xiuli, at least she will be filming until June or July this year.

  So in the bar, Guo Feili couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw Chen Xiuli who had rushed back.

   "Phyllis, you are here!"

  Seeing that Guo Feili was also present, Chen Xiuli, who was a little nervous at first, suddenly relaxed and greeted with a smile.

  Already knew why she and these people gathered here today, Guo Feili, but it was not as easy as Chen Xiuli.

  Guo Feili forced a smile, "Flos, you're back from the mainland."

  Singaporeans and Hong Kong Islanders have the same sex, they like to have English names, and they like to be called by English names.

  Only if the relationship is really close and good, will it be called an "Ah XX".

  The relationship between Guo Feili and Chen Xiuli is not really that good, but it was only when they were filming in the mainland, because they are fellow villagers, they get along better.

  Before she was called A Li or something, but after two months of separation she was a little unfamiliar, so she called her by her English name.

   "Yes. I don't know what's going on. I still have to shoot, but my agent told me to come back. I had to take a week off and I'll be back soon."

   "Fortunately, in that play, I didn't have too many plots, so it's okay to ask for leave." Chen Xiuli said with a smile.

  Strictly speaking, Chen Xiuli is not an actress from Singapore

  She is a Malaysian Chinese, and she also made her debut in Malaysia. But in this area, Singapore is a nearby entertainment center because of its developed economy.

  Many artists in Malaysia will come here to develop, and so will Chen Xiuli.

   "By the way. Phyllis, is there any big cast? I heard that not only you and me, but also many people are here."

  Chen Xiuli asked curiously: "I saw the managers of Lin Xiangping and Zheng Xiuzhen outside, which means that they are also here. Me and you, plus the two of them. What kind of scene are you going to film?"

  Lin Xiangping and Zheng Xiuzhen, plus Guo Feili and Chen Xiuli herself, they are the most famous female stars among the younger generation of Chinese stars in Singapore and Malaysia.

  During this period, among the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia, they were almost equivalent to the four singles and double ices in the mainland.

  Looking at Chen Xiuli who was still a little confused, Guo Feili smiled wryly, "Flos, don't ask. You will find out later."

  After you know it, you probably won't be so relaxed.

   Guo Feili thought to herself.

  Chen Xiuli frowned her beautiful eyebrows, feeling a little weird.

   But I didn't think too much about it.

   And just like what Guo Feili said.

   It didn't take long for Chen Xiuli to know the reason why these four dens and double ices in Singapore gathered here.

  Singapore’s version of “Four Dens Double Ice” is Guo Feili, Lin Xiangping, Chen Xiuli, Zheng Xiuzhen, Fan Wenfang and Guo Shuxian.

   All six people were present, and it was their respective managers and companies who asked them to come.

   It was the leaders of the Singapore Broadcasting Authority, the Singapore Film and Publishing Department, and the Singapore Film Commission who made their company make this decision.

  Appearing at the same time as them, there are also several champions of beauty pageants such as Miss Singapore and Miss Malaysian Chinese in recent years, and some well-known beautiful models from Singapore and Malaysia.

  About a dozen people, a big leader said something, and then their respective agents and even bosses hinted a lot of things in private.

  By the time they left, it was already noon that day.

  Chen Xiuli felt unbelievable about what happened in the morning, and it was difficult for Chen Xiuli to accept it.

   When leaving, I deliberately got in the same car as Guo Feili.

   "Sister Feili!" After a morning of contact, Chen Xiuzhen started calling her sister again.

   "How is this possible, those officials, actually asked us to do this kind of thing? Did they regard us as the number one brothel in the past?"

  Seeing Chen Xiuli who reacted a little fiercely, Guo Feili actually felt even more uncomfortable.

  Because she is a little older than Chen Xiuli, she has already talked about a boyfriend, and recently she has even reached the point of talking about marriage.

  Chen Xiuli was forced to do this kind of thing because she didn't have a boyfriend, and she wasn't under much pressure except for her moral values.

  But if Guo Feili agrees, she will betray her boyfriend!

   "Then what do you want to do?" Guo Feili asked without answering:

   "Didn't you listen to what those officials said? Are they all threatening?!"

   "Rotten eggs!" Chen Xiuli cursed.

  In Singaporean Chinese, "egg" is a curse word, which is equivalent to "I rely on".

  Add a stinky word, which is equivalent to the meaning of "TMD" in the Mainland in Singapore.

   "It's so insulting. If I am in a hurry, I will immigrate, go to the mainland, or go to Hong Kong Island and Wanwan to develop!"

   Guo Feili's mouth twitched.

   Then, then at night.

  Chen Xiuli, Guo Feili, and a dozen others.

   was sent to Siloso Beach, a luxury seaside manor villa.

   After receiving half a day of maid training, they will start working as maids in the manor villa in the next few days.

   And Abel, who left the financial safe house, also received kindness from the leader of Singapore Li.

  The other party claimed that since Abel was going to live in Singapore for a period of time, he had to experience the pure Singapore style.

   After understanding the so-called Singapore style, it is after a maid team composed of some Chinese, Malay and Asan beauties.

  Abel refused at first because it is a sensitive period.

  It is more or less a problem for such a group of unidentified women to mix in with me.

   But later Abel found out.

   These dozens of beautiful maids are all the most famous actresses, models, and beauty pageant champions in Southeast Asia in recent years.

  His refusal mentality is not so firm.

  At the same time, he also learned that these people could only be freed after he left Singapore.

   Otherwise, Abel doesn’t want it.

  They can only stay in this villa for the time being.

   It's just that you can't walk around at will, it's like being imprisoned.

   Didn't hesitate much, that night.

  He saw Xiao Zhao and Yin Susu in "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" and Lilac in "Bao Lian Lan".
