England 1986

Chapter 130 Instant Noodles?
Allen's second film fully draws on the experience of the first film.

After his first film was released a few months ago, many viewers complained that his film had made an outstanding contribution to the divorce rate in some parts of the UK, and he was suspected of encouraging women to cheat.

Later, Charles also mentioned cryptically, telling him not to mess around or cause trouble.

Allen is still very obedient at this point, isn't it just a change of background?
The United States is very good. Once the background is changed, the scale can be bigger!

Some things in the last movie that couldn't be expressed are also arranged!

So in the end, after much deliberation and summing up the experience of the previous film, this new film is based on an American film "Deep Water".

The whole movie highlights a three-view explosion. The movie seems to be full of a lot of exciting scenes, but in fact, there are many private goods hidden in these exciting scenes!

such as
The cost of living in the United States is high, immigration is too complicated, and interpersonal relationships between neighbors are not easy to get along with.

The cost of living is high, and men have to do more work to support the family, while women have to take care of the children. Coupled with the fact that men spend less time at home, there is a lot of lonely time.

then
America's Ximen Qing can make its debut.

In addition, the heroine of this movie is set to be a slut. In this way, the overall excitement of the movie has been increased to another level.

If a woman seduces her actively, the adulterer will definitely make sure she seduces her.

如果
Americans, watch this movie.

Are married men anxious?
Will unmarried young people not want to get married after watching this kind of movie?

Since Allen only remembered the general plot, he wrote an overall framework of a few hundred words, and the rest was completed by his screenwriters.

The whole story is like that, when a man is greened by his wife, he feels green, and his thinking is a little sick.

But this kind of sickness doesn't last long, and after the man gets entangled, he will kill his wife's adulterer cruelly.

But his wife is unwilling to be lonely, and when the adulterer is gone, she will be replaced, and the cycle repeats. Both husband and wife are very sick.

What advances the main plot is cheating again and again, and the man's reaction after seeing his wife cheating, and finally killing the adulterer.

The scene of the woman cheating looks very exciting, and the man gets green, uh. This is the beauty of morbidity, it can be regarded as a discussion of human nature.

No matter who it is, if this kind of thing happens to me, it will definitely be unbearable.

But if being cheated by his wife happens to someone else, the public will become curious again. This is a very magical state of mind.

And in the end, the plot of the man killing the adulterer also looks very exciting.

The pacing of the film is generally low, thrilling, morbid, and re-stimulating.

It's a path that the reality-hunting novelty-hunting version is on the edge of.

Although there is still not much revealed in the film, and it can't even enter the restricted level, but the whole story, as long as it doesn't take the protagonist's perspective, it will feel very cool.

Of course, if there is a pervert, to take the initiative to replace the male protagonist's main perspective, then...
random
Anyway, America has everyone.

The reason why Allen and Monica had such a good time was also his painstaking efforts.

Monica is a young girl who is making a film for the first time. Does she know what the art of film is?

Does she know how to be a slut?
she doesn't understand.
In order to help Monica better understand the mental journey of this character, and to make Monica more relaxed, Allen played a little perverted.

Under such circumstances, the kind-hearted Mr. Allen can only step forward. In order to improve the actor's acting skills and the art of film, he personally contributes a little contribution, and by the way, adds a little excitement to his tense life.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finished the day's filming and finished work on time.

Allen sat in the car, reading the letter while waiting for Monica to remove her makeup.

For the past few days, he has only been busy with business, and has ignored Monica for several days.

For this filming, Allen usually did not bring Monica home, but only brought her home when he needed to guide Monica's acting skills.

But as soon as the acting is over, Allen will drive her away again, and her life will return to normal. Once every few days, Monica is very uncomfortable, and she even becomes more and more afraid of Allen.

But the amazing thing is that every time Alan stares at her for a while and gives her a look, she will be inexplicably excited again, temporarily forget the fear in her heart, and follow Alan back to the manor involuntarily.

After dinner, he asked the servant to take Monica for a beauty treatment. Allen turned back to the bedroom first, and saw a small thing like a kennel placed in the corner of the ground not far from his bed.

This is the nest made by the servants of the family for Alan's little snowy owl named "Little Yellow".

Because I was afraid that it would be too high, and the little snowy owl could not fly, and I was afraid that it would fall, so I finally built a kennel. Anyway, owls can walk on the ground.

Allen "sucked and sucked" a few times, like calling a dog, and called Xiao Huang.

The little thing poked its head out of the nest, and opened its mouth wide when it saw Alan come back.

Grabbing Xiao Huang in his hand, Alan turned and went to the study. These days, he was filming during the day and had to deal with some business when he came back at night.

First, take a few small meat strips and stuff them into Xiao Huang's mouth, feed Xiao Huang, let him run around on the desk, and Alan picks up the report document sent by Matthias.

This is a report on the industry that Huaguo can currently develop.

It roughly lists those industries that can now enter Huaguo for investment.

Too high-end industry, Allen also wants to do it, but
Isn’t it because the money at hand is not abundant? The large film and television company is currently being established. Although the acquisition fee that will be obtained from Sony will be a large sum of money, Allen has to plan ahead for the future. where to go.

Theoretically speaking, in this period, engaging in some high-tech industries, such as mobile phones, chips, and computers, will bring great benefits.

However, there is a prerequisite for this. These industries are just emerging, and mobile phones are a little better. They all have one thing in common—that is, they are expensive!

Whether it is initial investment, talent recruitment, product development, or production line construction, a large sum of money is required.

And there will be no return in sight for a while.

Take the mobile phone as an example.

Last year, Allen didn't use a mobile phone, but this year, his car is now equipped with a mobile phone.

That is, the old big brother, this thing has now developed to the second generation.

The signal problem has been solved, and it can be used in the city and the suburbs. For ordinary people, there are still two biggest problems with the current mobile phone. First, the signal and call quality are not good.

You have to shout to answer the phone!

Second, calls are too expensive!
This kind of wireless phone calls are much more expensive than limited phone calls!
That is to say, from this time, because of these various shortcomings of mobile phones, another industry that has been developed for many years will be born, that is, pagers, and in some places they are also called BB machines.

It's not cheap to buy, but it's one-way, like a text message receiver.

It can be used after putting in a dry battery, which can solve the problem of battery life very well, and it is a text message. The signal requirement is not as high as that of a mobile phone. If someone is looking for it, just call the paging station and leave a message. After the message is successful, the message will be sent In the form of a text message, it is sent to the pager according to a specific number.

People with pagers can call back on the spot or find a nearby public phone, depending on the situation, after receiving the message.

It also greatly facilitates communication.

But the above-mentioned industries are all short-lived. It takes time and effort to invest in this industry now. Allen has limited funds. To be honest, he has no confidence in investing funds in these industries now.

Allen himself is a technical idiot, and he is not a professional in this field. Even if he can give a general development direction, what is the use of it?

Does research and development take time?

After his research and development is completed, what if the technology has improved?

Wouldn't he want to be taken advantage of here and lose everything?
Therefore, taking these factors into consideration, Allen still prefers the physical industry and engages in production and sales.

He now has a clear market, and he can develop the entire Commonwealth of Nations, not to mention the Huaguo market that has just opened up. With such a large market, we should start a few more industries first, spread the stalls, and make money first. , can't be too ambitious.

Holding a pen, he looked at the report sent by Matthias line by line, until a word that was both unfamiliar and familiar came into view, and Alan was suddenly taken aback.

"Instant noodles?"

According to the report, Matthias found that the market for this kind of convenience food was very poor when he organized a delegation to visit China.

In the well-developed cities in the southern coastal areas, you can see some instant noodles sporadically, but there are not many in other places.

It’s not that they don’t have it. The reasons are very complicated, but to sum it up, one is that people in Huaguo generally have limited income, and when they travel far away by train, they should bring some pancakes and steamed buns with them before leaving. up.

Things like instant noodles are now produced in Ben province, as well as in island countries. The selling price is still very expensive for Chinese people.

Like that kind of bagged instant noodles, the cheaper ones cost at least two or three yuan a bag.

According to Allen, this two or three dollars is not expensive, but compared to what Matthias said about their current per capita monthly salary, which is only a few tens of dollars a month, this
This is not cheap, not to mention that instant noodles in bags are also inconvenient to eat when you go out, and instant noodles in barrels are more expensive than instant noodles in bags!

As for the instant noodles produced in China, Matthias reported that they also have them, but they are all bulk instant noodles produced by state-owned factories, which are inconvenient to buy and carry.
Allen saw that some of the purchase restrictions on Huaguo had only gradually opened up this year, and he understood what was going on.

It probably means that there are not enough materials. Making instant noodles requires a lot of grain and oil. Ordinary private enterprises do not engage in this kind of thing.

For things like instant noodles, as long as they are done well, they will be able to catch up with the market in the next few years, and they will be able to make a profit when they are produced.

And raw materials.
Allen can get it!
Thinking of this, Alan put down the report in his hand, rummaged through it from the shelf next to it, and found a list of the production categories of the food factory at home.

The food factory in his family is not large in scale. It used to produce this stuff, but...
The sales of instant noodles in Daying were not good, and other products were produced later, but the old production line was still there, and the production process was still there.

Looking at the production process of instant noodles, Allen frowned and drew a few circles on several main materials.

First of all, instant noodles. Noodles are the most important thing, but the production of instant noodles requires another material——palm oil.

Every piece of instant noodles needs to be deep-fried. Looking at the records, each piece of noodle cake requires an average of ten grams of palm oil, and once the production line is started, it can produce at least three or four hundred packets in one minute.

This adds up to ten catties of palm oil every minute. What about a day, a month, and a year?

No wonder Chinese private companies don’t produce this stuff. They haven’t opened up their materials to that extent yet. The whole of China is a big importer of palm oil. How can there be so much excess palm oil distributed to private companies to produce instant noodles?
Allen put down the product details, pulled the rattle and called Huth. He felt that this industry was a bit tricky, and the investment was not too big, but it could generate a lot of jobs. This kind of industry is very suitable for production in Huaguo. The most important thing is that It would be great to make money for him!
"Master, do you need anything?"

"Come on, come on, I was planning a project just now, and I found a project that can be done, but there is something I don't understand, please show me."

Allen first took a few documents and pushed them to Huth, motioning him to take a look first.

When Huth frowned for a long time and looked up at Alan, Alan couldn't wait to ask: "I'm curious now, where do we buy palm oil from, tell me about it." , if I want to invest in the instant noodle industry, can palm oil be supplied?"

"The food factory at home has always used a lot of palm oil, and the current purchase channel is from Nigeria."

Huth still has a little impression of this. The food factory has been producing all the time. He reads the report every month and has an impression of this.

"Oh? Nigeria, isn't this a coincidence?"

Allen was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't care about this kind of thing, but he was impressed when Huth said Nigeria.

He is familiar with the whole of West Africa. He used to master that area--the sea.

Nigeria is not too far from Gambia, and sea transportation is also convenient.

Seeing Alan contemplate, Huth thought for a while and said, "Master, if you want to invest in the instant noodle industry in Huaguo and buy palm oil from Nigeria, it will be a bit inconvenient. I suggest you send someone to Malaysia, sir. There is still a little relationship there, although I haven’t walked around for a long time, but these old colonies before Great Britain, it’s quite convenient for us to go there.”

"Oh?"

Allen was stunned. Although he has been paying attention to the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, although some old traditional colonies before the British, although they became independent sooner or later after the war, there are still British forces there, and they go there to handle affairs. It's really convenient.

The main reason is that Malaysia is closer to China, and the freight is cheaper!
