Chapter 211 Evil Plan

"Introduce yourself."

"My name is Emma Augusta Schwenberg. I am twenty-seven years old and married." The woman hesitated and then added: "I am German."

"I can see and hear that your French is very poor." Xian Yaowen nodded, "How did you come to Paris?"

"Follow my husband." The woman explained: "My husband is an Algerian-Turk from Constantinople. He was a French soldier before. I fell in love with him at first sight in Bavaria, got married soon, and then followed him to Paris."

"Where do you live?"

"District 17." The woman replied vaguely.

"South or north?"

The woman hesitated for a moment and said, "Close to District 18."

The south of the 17th arrondissement in Paris is the business district, and the north is the living area; the 18th arrondissement is a traditional dangerous area and the core of Paris nightlife. The cancan dance with exposed thighs originated in this area, because the pornographic industry is very developed, and gambling and drug abuse are natural. Not to be outdone, the northern junction of Districts 18 and 17 is a rather chaotic area, and not many people would be willing to live there as long as conditions permit.

"Your husband's income is not high?"

"He works in a car repair shop, which is very hard and the income is not high."

"What is your highest degree?"

"Middle school."

"Which school did you graduate from?"

"Go to the Silesian Lviv Lyceum."

"Are you from Upper Silesia?"

"No, I am a Bavarian. I went to Upper Silesia with my parents when I was ten years old."

"That's it." Xian Yaowen nodded, "Can you speak Polish?"

The situation in Upper Silesia is more complicated. It was a Polish territory hundreds of years ago and later fell into the hands of Germany. Germany was defeated in World War I and transferred to Poland. After the blitzkrieg of Poland in World War II, it returned to the embrace of Germany. After World War II, it was transferred to Poland. The Germans and Germans were expelled and received by West Germany, most of whom were sent to Bavaria.

"know a little."

"What's your current last name?"

The surname Schwinberger is not French at all. It should be the surname before marriage. The reason why Xian Yaowen asked Schwinberger about his current surname is because it is not only a traditional issue for Western women to take their husband's surname, it is also a legal issue. Everything related to law All files will be renamed.

There are "coverage laws" in the United Kingdom and the United States, and there is a legal basis for a woman to change her surname. Xian Yaowen is not sure if there is a similar law in France, but there is a tradition of taking the husband's surname, and most people will change the surname on the document. If they don't change it, it will not happen in daily life. Very troublesome.

For example, when I am usually called Xiao Hong, but my signature is Xiao Green on the document, I have to explain the reason every time.

Therefore, Schwenberg has no legal significance and can be treated as a pseudonym.

"Adjani."

When Xian Yaowen heard "Adjani", "Isabel" immediately came to mind.

"What should I call you?"

"My friends call me Steve."

"OK, Steve, do you have kids?"

"No."

Xian Yaowen smiled lightly and said: "If you have a daughter in the future, what will you name her?"

Adjani said without thinking: "Isabel."

"Isabelle Adjani?"

"It doesn't have to be Adjani."

"Okay." Xian Yaowen has satisfied his gossip mentality and is too lazy to inquire about Adjani's marriage life. "I have hired you. The work you will be responsible for is very simple: first, I have three houses, and you will be assigned to them every other week. Open the windows for ventilation and close them before it rains;

Second, subscribe to all newspapers and magazines published in Paris, cut out the textile and clothing content in the newspapers and bind them into a booklet, and then send it to the airport for shipment to Hong Kong.

Do these two things well and you can get a monthly salary of 20 pounds. "

"Send pounds?" Adjani asked doubtfully.

"If you don't like it, I can also send you francs." Xian Yaowen said deliberately.

"No, I like the pound." Adjani said quickly after hearing this. How could she not know that the pound is stronger than the franc.

“Isn’t £20 considered a high salary?”

"Calculate."

Xian Yaowen spread his hands and said, "So, please get things done. For some detailed issues, you can go to the Desaise Law Firm on Haussmann Avenue to report your name tomorrow, and someone will discuss it with you in detail."

With that said, he took out two francs from his pocket and handed them to Adjani, "This is your fare. Thank you for coming to the interview. You can leave now. I want to enjoy afternoon tea."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Adjani walked away with a relaxed and cheerful pace. Xian Yaowen, who was sitting still in his seat, suddenly thought in a wicked way whether there would be Isabel Adjani in this time and space.

Through the conversation just now, he has already felt that the relationship between Adjani and her husband is not very good. Being able to fall in love at first sight shows that the appearance of Adjani's husband is in line with Adjani's aesthetics. He digs deeply into the saying that poor and humble couples are sad, and husband and wife are not in harmony. Generally speaking, it has something to do with income. Now that Adjani has a high salary, she is likely to become more disgusted with her husband, and it is not certain when she will divorce.

After leisurely drinking a cup of coffee, Xian Yaowen discovered that the price of the coffee was higher than expected when paying the bill. He didn't think there was anything wrong, but the defense system in his mind felt that the host had suffered a big loss, so it activated itself and took out three items at the speed of light. Countermeasures:
First, stock up on coffee beans in advance and build a long position on coffee futures, then research a disease or pathogen targeting coffee trees, and target it to Brazilian coffee growing areas. Once the coffee production is reduced, you will naturally make a lot of money.

Second, targeted attacks on freighters carrying coffee beans, or using fire attack tactics that have been thoroughly studied in ancient times and can be easily transplanted to finance, used to destroy ledgers and grain depots in a targeted manner, causing the coffee beans in the warehouses to spontaneously ignite.

The suddenness of the fire attack is stronger, and the coffee futures market will turn around at lightning speed. If you don't give the opportunity to get a share of the pie, you will make even greater profits.

Three... Before Three could jump out, Xian Yaowen was already walking along the left bank of the Seine. He would stop and observe for a while at every cafe he passed.

The one and two Tai Tais are too yin-destroying, which makes them lose their light, and he disdains it. To put it this way, it can only be said that he is a bit pretentious. The key point is that agriculture has never been an unpopular industry. There are many big guys entrenched in it. If you are smart, they are not stupid either. , there is no need to look for evidence, whoever benefits will be destroyed.

Girls always like romantic stories, so they found a small, older cafe on the banks of the Seine to purchase, and then compiled a poignant love story about waiting and missing, and a coffee chain brand was born.

No one knows whether there is a prototype for Shakespeare's Juliet, but it does not delay the emergence of a Juliet's former residence in Verona, Italy.

Nine out of ten people who make a living by writing are not saints. Most of them are willing to give up their waists for five buckets of rice. At the cost of a lot of money + shares, they can find a well-known writer to write a love story. With the fame of the writer, the story will spread quickly, and the brand will naturally also Then he got up.

For example, Hemingway, whose writing is profound and people enjoy it, will probably be happy to take on the job.

Another example is Hong Kong, where there are quite a number of literati who are willing to write about anything just to fill their stomachs. If someone in their teens or 20s is given a short article that praises others, they will definitely rush to do it. For a little more, you can assign one to write a story behind the story.

As the pace goes further, the concept in Xian Yaowen's mind becomes more complete. The brand is called Seine River, and under it, a Left Bank series will be established.

The right bank of the Seine River is dominated by busy areas such as industrial areas, and the left bank is dominated by leisure areas. Coffee and leisure go well together, and it is also suitable for an aristocratic lady. There are many workers on the right bank, and workers are connected to sports, and sports are connected to the Soviet Union. A French aristocratic lady and The love story of the Revolutionary Party in Tsarist Russia. The lady on the left bank is waiting, but she doesn’t know that the revolutionary party on the right bank has died in an internal purge.

When she was dying, the lady from the Left Bank bought the cafe where she and her lover met, and built a waiting wall in the cafe. Guests could write their expectations for love on paper, stick it on the wall, and leave their mailing addresses. Waiting for a destined person to write to you.

"The Seine and the Left Bank, the love of my life!"

Sitting down on a park chair, Xian Yaowen wrote these words in his notebook, and then turned to a new page. A business plan that was not romantic at all appeared on the paper. Romance and excitement are reserved for guests, and for business operations As far as the author is concerned, there are only costs and calculations on how to sell inferior coffee beans to customers at a high price in a romantic way.

Drinking coffee is not only about the taste, but also the emotional value. As long as the latter is done well, the former will pass.

Taste can be tamed through emotions. There is a snack called bean juice that does this very well. It is really a high standard to turn sour food into a food culture.

In fact, coffee is also possible. Use cheap coffee bean scraps to create several distinctive coffees, and let idols praise them in beautiful words. Fans who follow the trend will give themselves psychological hints, turning the taste buds from unpleasant to unique. Others don't understand, but you understand, which leads to a sense of psychological superiority and becomes a fan of "coffee".

In order to make the price reasonable, the picking and roasting of coffee beans must be particular. For example, only 5987-day-old girls can be used for picking. During roasting, they must be turned over 9999 times within the specified time. And so on, it is best to form "Coffee Tao", if you take it to the realm, it will be even more perfect.

Coffee beans cannot be said to be scraps. They must be carefully selected to make a fuss about climate, lighting, geographical location, etc.

It is unethical to treat customers as idiots, so they must be given sufficient emotional value.

On the same day, Xian Yaowen made a phone call to Lawyer Desaise from the Desaise Law Firm and told him about Adjani. He also entrusted him with the registration of a trademark "Pierre Cardin". The company on the banks of the Seine and a series of trademarks needed to be settled. Registration is due on August 8th.

Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, so it is convenient to create a series of stories, which can be regarded as an introduction for the brand to enter the East.

……

A long time ago, there was a country in Africa where gold grew like radishes. Its name was the Ghana Empire.

The name Ghana first appeared in the works of Arab scholars. Ghana is both the name of a city and the name of a country. Arab writings mention that the Soninke country is called Ghana, but the Soninke themselves and other Mandes know it. Their ancient kingdom was Ouagadu.

The Ghana Empire ruled the West Africa region south of the Sahara Desert. Because it once monopolized the gold trade in West Africa, and almost all daily life was related to gold, the Ghana Empire was also called the Golden Country.

The empire was based on commerce and extended its sphere of power outward, controlling the import of salt to the north and the sale of gold to the south. Much of the empire's revenue came from taxes on the sale of these and other commodities.

The king of Ghana is famous for producing gold. The country stipulates that gold nuggets above one ounce belong to the king, but gold sand can be bought and sold freely, and the price of gold is controlled by the king.

The king also controlled the trade across the Sahara Desert. This trade mainly exchanged the salt of the Sahara Desert and copper, dried fruits, shells and other commodities from the Mediterranean area for gold and slaves in West Africa. Trade taxes became an important income for the kingdom.

According to Al Bakshi, the king of Ghana levied a tax of 1 gold dinar on the salt carried by each donkey entering the country, and the exit tax was doubled. Gold production and Saharan trade promoted the prosperity of the Kingdom of Ghana. People who visited Ghana praised the gorgeous costumes in the palace. Not only the clothes of the king and ministers were decorated with precious gold ornaments, but also the shields and swords in the hands of the guards. Set with gold.

Gold is produced in the gold-producing areas of Garland, Bambook, and Bray in the south. The king has a certain form of monopoly on the mining of gold mines. All natural gold nuggets dug out of the country's mines belong to the king, and only The gold sand was left to the common people who mined it.

The king is said to own a natural gold nugget weighing 15 kilograms, which is embedded in the king's throne. After the gold sand was produced, it flowed into the commercial ports in the Sahel through Wangara merchants.

Ghana has been a land of prosperity since ancient times, and Ghana in 1950 was not bad either. Leaving aside poverty, Ghana was still quite developed.

The Ambassador Hotel is a hotel located in Accra, one of the most prosperous cities in Africa. The building is long and has five floors. There is only a hotel lobby on the ground floor. Most of the place is vacant. The hotel is supported by pillars. stand up.

The weather in Accra in July is not hot, with the highest daytime temperature being no more than 28 degrees Celsius. Each room in the Ambassador Hotel has a balcony, big enough for an outdoor table and a few chairs.

Xian Yaowen took a shower and sat on the balcony wearing only a bath towel, sucking a straw in his mouth, drinking ice-cold mystery fruit juice, holding a newspaper in his hand, and listening to Xian Yaowu, Qi Longque, and Gu Baozhang holding binoculars in his ears The strange laughter that comes from spying on the woman sunbathing downstairs.

Everyone is familiar with the woman. They came to Accra on the same flight, and the woman was in the room next to Xian Yaowen. When they were staying in the room, the two met in the corridor and admired the clouds through the window together.

After chatting, I learned that the woman was from Liverpool and came to Hong Kong when she was three years old. She did not return to England until she went to college. Therefore, the woman has a Chinese name of Shi Yiguang, which is Fan Li's Xi Shi.

Glancing down through the lattice decoration on the balcony, Xian Yaowen returned his eyes to the newspaper and continued reading an article about Kwame Nkrumah.

Nkrumah was the founder and leader of the People's Congress Party and a follower of Gandhi. Politically, he advocated immediate autonomy and called for non-violent non-cooperation to fight the British. He was imprisoned at the beginning of this year and has not yet been released.

Nkrumah is Ghana's political leader and has a high prestige. Once Ghana becomes independent, he will undoubtedly be the first choice for Ghana's head of state. No one else is qualified to compete with him.

At this time, Nkrumah can be said to be a saint in Ghana. Like other saints, he cannot withstand scrutiny and the test of time. After peeling off the layers of disguise on his body, the core is just a dictator. After he came to power, he executed After two years of free trade, it immediately made a big reversal and embarked on the road of nationalized socialism, and then one-party dictatorship, making itself president for life, exercising broad powers without any restrictions, and prohibiting The emergence of opposition parties.

Xian Yaowen has nothing to do with whether he is independent or dictatorial. The Ghanaian people wipe their own shit, but nationalization has a lot to do with him. This means that the gold mines he seized must be mined violently, without considering long-term development, and must be carried out within a limited period. Mine as much as possible within the time limit.

Faced with the risk of losing at any time, you cannot invest too much. Mechanized mining can be ignored directly, and only manual mining can be adopted. Moreover, it is best to seize the gold mine in the border area, so that if there is any disturbance, personnel can be transferred at any time.

Put the newspaper aside, pick up the Gold Coast map on the side, draw a few circles on several gold vein areas, and then study the map carefully.

When it comes to gold mines, it can actually be said that there are them all over the world. If you dig anywhere underground, as long as you dig deep enough, you can have a super-large gold mine with gold reserves of more than 60 trillion tons.

This statement is not only true in theory, it is also true in practice, but it does not make much sense.

Gold mining requires costs. When the cost of mining an ounce of gold exceeds its own value, mining loses meaning. Even if the cost is slightly less than the value, it does not mean much. After all, the cost of mining gold is not small, and there are other costs and profits. The rate is too low, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Ghana is named the Gold Coast, which shows that its gold reserves are very rich and gold is widely distributed. As long as it is in river areas and areas that were once river channels, if you dig into the sand-bearing layer, you can wash out gold sand from the sand. If you are lucky, you can wash out more than a dozen grams from a ton of sand, and if you are not lucky, you can wash out one or two grams. Compared with the investment cost, it is still profitable.

However, Jinsha is not Xian Yaowen's goal. His goal is very clear. It is those rich mines that can dig out golden beans, and the output in a single day cannot be less than 10 kilograms. Otherwise, there is no need to grab it. Spend a little money to rent a piece of land and make it yourself. Just carry a shovel and a pickaxe and dig.

Almost all the weapons in hand are deployed. If there is no decent harvest, they will not be able to see the elders of Hong Kong.

Xian Yaowu had enough of seeing women, so he came to Xian Yaowen and said, "Brother, the weather isn't hot, let's go out for a walk?"

Xian Yaowen said without raising his head: "I'm not going out today. I have to go by yourselves. But when you go shopping, don't go looking for women, and don't eat random things you don't know. Africa is evil and has all kinds of infections." If you get sick a lot, be careful and lose your life here."
