Chapter 449 Treasure and Southeast Asian Style(2/3)
"Since it really exists, let's follow the plan and start preparing."
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 treasure land is there and the population is very large.
Even if most of them are "livestock", the greater the base, the greater the number of geniuses and elites.
Coupled with its strategic location and its connection with the UK.
Facing the Asan authorities, at the company level, the pressure is still great.
And this kind of thing cannot be done with too much fanfare.
We cannot allow the U.S. military to march straight into a small country like Afghanistan.
We can only do small groups of special operations slowly.
Fortunately, before the treasure was discovered, Padmanabhaswamy Temple was a place that neither father nor mother loved.
The Varma royal family, the remnants of the earth kings who are responsible for managing this place, have not managed the temple well for a long time because they do not have much oil and water.
In parallel time and space, the treasure was discovered because the Varma royal family did not pay enough attention to the temple, causing it to be somewhat abandoned.
In the end, they were appealed and the management rights were taken back by the Asan authorities, and then they were discovered during the inventory.
"Let's use Plan A first." Abel directly set the tone, "David, let Alan start the operation. And Edward, always be ready with Plan B. If Plan A fails, start Plan B."
This time it was David and Edward's turn to nod together.
After finishing talking about the temple.
"Boss, I think the security level needs to be improved. If possible, it would be best to live in the Changi base." David suddenly said softly.
Abel understood what David Jones meant.
The confrontation has already begun.
Although there is a bottom line in terms of unspoken rules, sometimes the benefits are exciting.
In the face of huge interests, the bottom line can be completely thrown away.
Don’t overestimate the moral values of the Ansa people. Marine civilization has never attached great importance to this aspect.
If possible, Abel would even like to return to the United States now.
But didn’t this happen to us on the way out?
Until the dust settles, it's safest to stay still for the time being.
Abel shook his head, "I can't guarantee the reliability of Ellis and Benjamin. What's more, even if they are reliable, what about the other people at Changi Base? Who can guarantee that all the tens of thousands of soldiers in the base will be obedient? Unless
If there is unrest, living in the base is not a good option."
Seeing Abel's statement, David nodded slightly again and stopped continuing the topic.
After breakfast, Abel went to the financial safe house in the beachside manor house.
Although land is very expensive in Singapore, there are still villas.
But the price is also sky-high.
Not much worse than the villas on the Upper West and Upper East sides of Manhattan.
Not to mention that Abel entered the safe house and continued his daily routine.
Not far from his villa.
Siloso Beach, in a temporarily closed bar.
Last night, Chen Xiuli, who had just returned from a busy life in mainland China, met Guo Feili in the bar, who had recently filmed "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" with her in the mainland.
In the TV series, Chen Xiuli plays Zhang Wuji's maid Xiao Zhao.
Guo Feili plays Zhang Wuji’s mother Yin Susu.
Because they are both Singaporean actors, they have a good relationship on the set.
However, Guo Feili had very few scenes and had already finished filming and left the scene.
Unlike Chen Xiuli, the filming will be at least until June or July this year.
So in the bar, when Guo Feili saw Chen Xiuli who had rushed back, she couldn't help showing a little surprise on her face.
"Phyllis, you are here too!"
Seeing that Guo Feili was also at the scene, Chen Xiuli, who was originally feeling a little nervous, suddenly felt relaxed and said hello with a smile.
And Guo Feili, who already knew why she was gathered here with these people today, was not as relaxed as Chen Xiuli.
Guo Feili smiled reluctantly, "Fros, you are back from the mainland."
Singaporeans and Hong Kong Islanders have the same personality, they like to be given English names, and they like to be called by English names.
Only those with a truly close relationship would be called "Ah XX".
The relationship between Guo Feili and Chen Xiuli is not really that good. They just got along better when filming in the Mainland because they are fellow villagers.
I used to call her Ali or something like that, but after being apart for two months, I became a bit unfamiliar, so I called her by her English name.
"Yeah. I don't know what the situation is. I still have to shoot, and my manager told me to come back. I had to take a week's leave and came back right away."
"Fortunately, in that drama, I didn't have too many storylines, so it was okay to take some time off." Chen Xiuli said with a bright smile.
Strictly speaking, Chen Xiuli is not an actress in Singapore
She is a Malaysian Chinese and made her debut in Malaysia. However, in this area, Singapore is a nearby entertainment center because of its developed economy.
Many artists in Malaysia will come here to develop their careers, and the same goes for Chen Xiuli.
"By the way. Phyllis, is there a big cast? I heard that it's not just you and me, there are many people coming."
Chen Xiuli asked curiously: "I saw Lin Xiangping and Zheng Xiuzhen's agents outside, which means they are also here. What scene are you and I, plus the two of them, going to film?"
Lin Xiangping and Zheng Xiuzhen, together with Guo Feili and Chen Xiuli themselves, they are the most famous female stars among the younger generation of Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese stars.
During this period, among the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia, they were almost equivalent to the four singles and doubles in the mainland.
Looking at Chen Xiuli who was still a little confused, Guo Feili smiled bitterly and said, "Floss, don't ask. You will know later."
Once you know this, you probably won't be so relaxed.
Guo Feili thought to herself.
Chen Xiuli twisted her beautiful eyebrows, feeling a little weird.
But I didn’t think much about it.
And just like Guo Feili said.
It didn't take long for Chen Xiuli to find out why they, the fourth-level double ice skaters in Singapore, gathered here.
The Singapore version of "Four Dans and Double Ice" are Guo Feili, Lin Xiangping, Chen Xiuli, Zheng Xiuzhen, Fan Wenfang and Guo Shuxian.
All six people arrived, and it was their respective agents and companies who asked them to come.
The people who made their company make such a decision were the big bosses from the Singapore Broadcasting Authority, the Singapore Film and Publishing Department, and the Singapore Film Commission.
Appearing at the same time as them, there were also several Miss Singapore, Miss Chinese Malaysia and other beauty pageant champions in recent years, as well as some well-known beautiful models from Singapore and Malaysia.
There were about a dozen people, and a big leader said something, and then their respective agents and even bosses hinted at a lot of things in private.
By the time they left, it was already noon that day.
Chen Xiuli found it unbelievable and found it difficult to accept what happened in the morning.
When leaving, I purposely got into 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 such a thing? Do they regard us as the former top brothels?"
Seeing Chen Xiuli's reaction which was a bit fierce, Guo Feili actually felt even worse.
Because she is a little older than Chen Xiuli, she has already dated a boyfriend, and recently even talked about marriage.
Chen Xiuli was forced to do this kind of thing because she didn't have a boyfriend. Apart from her moral issues, she didn't have much pressure in other aspects.
But if Guo Feili agrees, she will be betraying her boyfriend!
"Then what do you want to do?" Guo Feili asked without answering:
"Didn't you listen to what those officials said? They are threatening?!"
"Rotten eggs!" Chen Xiuli cursed.
In Singaporean Chinese, "egg" is a curse word, which is equivalent to "fuck".
Adding the word "stinky" means "TMD" in Singapore in the Mainland.
"It's so insulting. If pressed, I will immigrate to the mainland, or go to Hong Kong Island and develop in Wanwan!"
Guo Feili's lips twitched.
