Manila, the capital city and largest port of the Philippines, is located on the east coast of Manila Bay, Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines, also known as "Little Luzon", and is close to the natural excellent harbor - Manila Bay. Manila was built on the banks of the Bashi River.

The river divides the city into two parts, 7 of the 14 districts on the north bank of the Bashi River and 6 on the south bank. The city is divided into two parts, with six bridges over the river connecting the north and south parts of the city, and Manila has a population of 12.88 million (October 2015). In November 1976, the Philippine government decided to combine the four cities of Manila, Quezon, Kalookan and Pasayi and 17 municipalities and towns including Makati into Metro Manila, the National Capital Region, with an area of 638.55 square kilometers. Manila is a city with a rich history. On the basis of Indian civilization, Chinese civilization and ancient civilization in Central Asia, it integrates the Western civilization of Spain and Citigroup to form a culture that combines East and West. In 1571, the Spanish colonizer Rigesby landed from Manila, invaded and occupied the Philippines, and then built a castle and fort on the south bank of the Bashi River in downtown Manila. Since then, it has been the capital of the Spanish colonial authorities.

In 1898, the Citi invaded Manila, replacing Spanish rule in the Philippines, and then conquered the nearby Negro Nation and incorporated the surrounding towns and regions into Manila, gradually expanding Manila. On July 31, 1901, Manila was designated as a special city in the Philippines and became the base for Citi Nation's rule in the Philippines. Since then, in the business district on the north bank of the Bashi River, high-rise buildings such as large banks, large companies, and large hotels have sprung up.

In 1942, Japan took the place of Citi in the Philippines. During World War II, Manila was severely damaged, and all the buildings around the castle fortress were destroyed by artillery fire. On July 4, 1946, the Philippines officially became independent, making Manila its capital. Today, Manila is a tropical garden city with a clean cityscape and an international commercial port.

Manila International Airport is located here.

According to yesterday's arrangement, Li Huan and the others slept in San Fernando early yesterday morning, and after recuperating their spirits, before the morning of the second day, the helicopter had already taken off from the hotel at six o'clock in the morning, because Li Huan knew that they had gained too many things that did not belong to them on this trip, although these things belonged to their ancestors, they were always snatched from others- If it still stops here, it is waiting for others to come and find trouble, because Li Huan has almost estimated that the Xizhao side should have estimated that this treasure has fallen into the hands of others, and they probably don't know who it is, but they must know that something is wrong.

Li Huan's clues to this news were obtained from the treasure hunters sent out by the sunset, they have been arrested by the local police, and there is a high probability that they will not survive. Of course, this is the best result, firstly, they will not leak the clues of Li Huan and others, and secondly, they also deserve it, and they are arrested by the local police, even if they are shot, they deserve it.

Of course, on the bodies of these security hunters, Li Huan found traces of soul spells, no matter who placed that soul spell, he must have known that the soul spell had failed. It's easy to think of the treasure hunter having an accident, so maybe the people from the evening note are rushing here, and if this place itself delays time in this place, it will easily cause other conflicts. So Li Huan and the others checked out early in the morning, and Li Ang also gave a special tip of 1,000 US dollars - at the same time that the front desk got the 1,000 US dollar tip, Li Huan and the others' housing records completely disappeared from the hotel's computer.

The helicopter took off from the hotel tarmac and headed straight for Manila International Airport.

"Li Ang, did you often do this kind of thing before, I didn't even think of asking the front desk to delete the records, why did you think of this kind of thing? And why do you know to tip the front desk $1,000, and he knows how to do it himself?" On the helicopter, in order not to make any extraneous complications, the piloting of the helicopter is of course handed over to Li Huan, who has the best flying skills, and he looked at Li Ang curiously while heading towards the route of Manila International Airport: "You CIA are all doing things like this, right?"

"Boss, you're right, this is the CIA's style of doing things, as for why I know the boss, don't forget whose territory was in the Philippines before, since the Japanese left here, it was the Citi people who had the most influence here. Li Ang smiled: "Actually, before I went to Africa, I was stationed in the Philippines for a long time, when I was stationed here, my task was mainly to collect intelligence, boss, you know that when collecting intelligence, the most important thing is to hide your identity and whereabouts, so in the Philippines, the general hotel peers have a secret that is not public, that is, enough tips are not to see that you serve well, but to need you to help me delete something." Larger hotels know this secret. So rest assured, boss, since our accommodation records have been deleted, our whereabouts here have disappeared from the world, and Rodman even uses other people's names to register the rental house, no matter who is looking for you, he will definitely not find any clues. ”

"Well, you're still experienced in this area. Li Huan nodded: "Win a big victory, and strive to go home today." ”

The crowd cheered.

The helicopter piloted by Li Huan is fast and steady, the time is a natural disaster, just after a strong hurricane, all the hot and cold air that may exist in the sky has been torn apart, and the current weather is simply outrageous. The helicopter flew at full speed and reached the Manila airport in about two hours. They flew together at six o'clock in the sky and were still black, and two hours later, before the sun had fully risen, Manila was already on the horizon.

"Have you arranged your ticket?" asked Li Huan.

"Boss, don't worry. Leon said. Well

"Well, we still have half an hour to go, and we told the airport that we can land directly, right?" asked Li Huan.

Li Ang nodded, picked up a headset and put on the radio call sign to call Manila International Airport, before he could speak, Yu Ting suddenly made a suggestion: "Li Huan, if we are not in a hurry, I want to go and see the colleagues of the crew first, anyway, they are also staying in hotels near Manila International Airport, we can't delay for long, what do you think?"

Yu heard this Li Huan then remembered that there was a group of staff waiting for him to make a movie for himself next to Manila International Airport, and after they got along with Yu Ting for two years, Yu Ting almost regarded them as her own relatives. You must know that although the natural disaster a few days ago has passed, the man-made disaster is still continuing, although Li Huan promised that all the consumption in the Philippines would be reimbursed by him, but these people are not very comfortable in a foreign land - of course, they stayed for the generous remuneration and future work, but everyone knows that there is only one life, and those who dare to follow Yu Ting to continue to do things after such a dangerous natural disaster are definitely the most loyal employees.

Also, from sending them over to Li Huan and them back, there has been an interval of five or six days in Manila, these people are not familiar with life, although they eat and live in hotels, and there are a lot of subsidies every day, but the loneliness of being in a foreign land really needs to be taken care of. Especially in the previous two years of work, everyone has regarded Yu Ting as the backbone, and now Yu Ting is playing crazy with Li Huan, when Yu Ting is not with them, they will definitely be uncomfortable.

At that time, when Li Huan and the others left Manila, the arrangement for the crew was the best international hotel in Manila, which was not damaged by natural disasters, and it was not much distance from Manila International Airport, and the straight-line distance by helicopter was less than 20 minutes, and Yu Ting said that it did make sense, these crew members followed him to the north and south for more than two years, completed Li Huan's arrangement, and brought Li Huan a perfect epic film. In fact, you still want to go back in a hurry, it's just because he has too many precious things on him, and he wants to go back and put them in the museum as soon as possible, and then give Professor Song them to appraise the value, but think about it carefully, all his things are put into the virtual space, unless the people from the sunset note come to stop him and there will be a little trouble, there is no possibility of losing these national treasures.

And what if the people from the Xizhao came to find it? Can they still know who did it? That is impossible, according to Leon, even Rodman rented the small building with an intermediary and found a middleman, and even if the people from the Xizhao came to find it, at most they would be furious at an empty church basement.

Li Huan thought about it for a while, and then synthesized the time when the plane took off, and there were still five hours before the plane took off

, I guess there's nothing wrong with going over and seeing.

……

Pan Pacific Manila, after Yu Ting contacted the peaked cap girl, Li Huan and their helicopter landed directly on the tarmac on the top floor of the hotel. They didn't plan to check in, so they would meet with everyone here, and then cheer everyone up, because after Li Huan brought these things back, he would have to follow Yu Ting back. came to take a look, mainly because I was afraid that the employees of the crew would be depressed after just experiencing a natural disaster - the more loyal the employees, the more worthy of being treated.

Li Huan even took the initiative to propose a reward plan, if this movie is good and a big hit, then the staff of each crew will be rewarded for their merits - the first prize, and a flawless gem will be rewarded- This plan made Yu Ting sigh a lot, Li Huan is really worth a lot now, he was still worried about money when he invested in this movie, and then look at the flawless gem that is now used to reward employees for making a move, you must know that when Li Huan first made a fortune, he picked up a gem in India, and then sent it to the auction house for auction, and now he can reward a gem casually, which shows how much difference he was between then and now.

Of course, he didn't know how much Li Huan had in stock now, although Chen Xue often called him and would communicate with Li Huan about some things, but Li Huan found that the huge number of gems was not even very clear about the procedure, and now gems were basically a burden to Li Huan. Because the market value of these things is there, but the market value is artificially given to them, generally speaking, the higher the scarcity of gemstones, the more expensive its price, but now Li Huan has a large number of gems on his hands, there is no way to ship them in large quantities, if Li Huan's batch of gems is thrown directly into the market, then there is no doubt that the price of gems on the market will be good the next day, like jumping from the roof to hell.

It is no exaggeration to say that in addition to some really precious gems, Li Huan now treats gems as glass balls, and even thinks that these glass balls are a bit cumbersome, and they are not easy to sell, so smash them in their hands, saying that it is money, but it can't be turned into money - but on the other hand, if you take these things as a reward, it is really good, anyway, reward this kind of thing, especially for girls, they will generally be deeply hidden in their own makeup cabinets.

As soon as Li Huan's plane landed, the girl with the cap greeted her: "Sister Ting, you are here, we are waiting for you!"

"What are we going to do, we won't stay here for long, the main thing is to come and see everyone, we will return in about two or three days after we return to China and deal with a little bit of things, aren't we still waiting for the movie to start?" Yu Ting looked at her with a smile, and then looked at Li Huan: "And don't call me first when you see it in the future, this is your boss." ”

"Mr. Li is good. The girl with the cap didn't speak to Li Huan as naturally as she said to Ting, she first greeted Li Huan respectfully - this kind of respect is not only because Li Huan is the real boss of this movie, but also because Li Huan brought the crew back from hell.

Well, hell here is just an adjective, but if anyone wants to say that a Category 17 hurricane is not hell with a combination of undersea earthquakes and tsunamis, the girl in the cap would be interested in talking to him in depth. In short, these two things are added together, and now the crew has no strangeness to Li Hua, but that respectful way of saying it always makes Li Huan feel that they are too far away from him.

"Hey, it's not always the same...... You just think I'm Li Huan, I think we're about the same age. Li Huan said.

"No, you're about the same age, but you're a lot better than we are, and if it weren't for you, we might have died on that island, and I know how hard it is to get us out of a hurricane. The cap girl said seriously: "Let's go, just now after Sister Ting called me and said that she wanted to come and see us, it happened that we met at breakfast time, and once we organized a simple welcome party in the restaurant. You came here so early and haven't eaten, just have breakfast together, you go to the airport again, you still have time to cheer us all up, and then we wait for you to come back and start the flight together, and we have prepared a surprise!"

"Well, let's go. Yu Ting nodded and took Li Huan's arm.

"Boss, just go, we're here watching the helicopter. Li Ang Rodman and the two Russian female bodyguards looked at Li Huan and took the initiative to say: "It's not appropriate for us to go on that occasion, we don't understand anything, and it will add some embarrassment to you, there is no need for you to remember to eat at that time, just bring us a little after eating." ”

"That's fine. Li Huan nodded, although he didn't think that someone could chase after him now, but it was right to be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Years Boat: "I'll let the restaurant bring you something to eat later." ”

After speaking, Li Huan and Yu Ting went down from the sightseeing elevator on the roof of the building.

The cap girl had already gone down to arrange it first, and there were only Li Huan and Yu Ting in the sightseeing elevator, Li Huan felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of the scene just now, and kept looking at herself carefully with the reflection of the elevator.

Yu Ting was curious: "What are you looking at?"

Li Huan touched his face: "Sister Ting, do you say that they have a little too much respect for me, I don't think about putting on a boss at all, I'm not very approachable now? Besides, what's the point of a crew having such a title? Isn't it good for everyone to work together happily? Do you remember when we opened a small studio in the capital, did our employees treat us very comfortably?"

"What do you want this?" Yu Ting looked at Li Huan and smiled dumbly: "What kind of small studio, have you forgotten the name of Orca Studio? Don't forget, this movie is still hanging under Orca Studio." ”

"Whatever it is, I'm not used to it. Li Huan was a little uncomfortable.

Yu Ting grinned, if he was still skeptical last night, then now Yu Ting is sure that Li Huan is still the big boy she knows, and he is still so cute, she looked at Li Huan with a smile and said, "What's wrong? There are so many people eating with you now, maybe after the success of this movie, we will continue to shoot downwards, and you will be a real movie tycoon at that time, who will see you not be respectful?"

"That's not like this, I'm really not used to this look......" Li Huan was helpless.

"It's always going to get used to it, you can't always be like this, when your career is really stable, your movie is made, I heard that now Uncle Chen is also developing an oil well with you, you are already a real tycoon, you have to be more steady, you can have no shelves when facing friends, but you remember that if you have a shelf in the shopping mall in the future, you must have." Yu Ting instructed: "Okay, this is it, take out your temperament, go and see your employees, I haven't seen it for two years, I think they must have prepared a piece of flowers." ”

"Oh, there's still a piece of flower to watch, which means I can enjoy some wonderful shots now?" Li Huan became interested: "How do you know?"

"You idiot, didn't they say that they had a surprise for us, you said they could give us a surprise, when this giant peak had just passed, even if they stayed in the hotel, it was impossible to make any surprises, the only thing that could be guessed was that they picked up some tidbits or promotional videos. ”

"Really?" Li Huan was overjoyed.

"Of course, don't worry, I have always taken the things you gave me, Bellamy's script is very well written, and those European aristocrats have also provided us with a lot of convenience in shooting, this movie is indeed well-made, and it is definitely a first-line blockbuster, so our tidbits will definitely not be bad. Yu Ting held Li Huan's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to see your movie." ”

……

When Li Huan and Yu Ting walked into the restaurant, the restaurant had already been packed, and there was no one else in the restaurant, except for the crew members, who were some staff working in the restaurant. When everyone saw the two of them coming in, they applauded in unison, first to say hello to Yu Ting, and then to Li Huan one by one, after all, although Li Huan and they were not familiar with each other, in the past few days, Li Huan brought them out of a huge natural disaster, which can be regarded as a life-saving benefactor.

If you want to say that, Li Huan's relationship is closer......

"Okay, you're welcome, everyone

The family has been working in the same crew for so many years, and there is no need to be polite to each other, this time everyone was frightened, and here I apologize to everyone first. Yu Ting took a step forward first: "But don't worry, as I said, those who stay can get double the salary, and our movies will continue to be filmed, this movie is our brainchild, I don't think I need to say, everyone knows how promising it is, right?"

"Yes, this is definitely the best film I have made in my career, if he is not popular, the most important thing is that the equipment and scenes and the story are simply customized for top movies!"

"Why don't you want to take a break more? I just suffered such a serious natural disaster, I still think that everyone should take a more rest, as for the film? I don't have a specific work plan yet, but don't worry, during the time you stay in Manila, all the expenses will be borne by the company, and during this time, everyone's salary will be paid as usual, so you don't have to worry at all. Speaking of this, Yu Ting pushed Li Huan to the front: "I don't count what I said, this is our big money owner is the boss behind the scenes, now the boss says it, let the boss promise you, and your big money owner is now an upstart, and he still has a surprise for you." ”

"What nouveau riche ......" Li Huan scratched his head and let Yu Ting push to the front.

He understood that Yu Ting was also joking when she said this, Yu Ting's idea was to let everyone get acquainted with Li Huan, as long as they were more familiar with themselves, then they would return to that kind of harmonious relationship. Yu Ting knew that Li Huan didn't like the relationship between the upper and lower boundaries, if this was the case, he would have to deal with these crew members more, and when the staff of these crews were as familiar with him as they were with Ting, there would be no obvious dividing line between the upper and lower divisions at that time. These people were originally young people, and they were all newcomers enabled by Yu Ting, so naturally there were not so many old dogmas. The cap girl had just said hello to Li Huan respectfully, and more than half because Li Huan had saved her.

Well, Li Huan saved everyone here.

Li Huan knew what Yu Ting meant, after he came on stage, he looked left and right, and cleared his throat: "Hello everyone, I am the big financier, what you Mr. Yu said is right, before the filming of this movie ends, if everyone continues to work in Manila with our crew, until the filming is completed, we will settle everyone according to the salary we have negotiated." This movie is very important to me, I am very grateful for your efforts, without your efforts, I would definitely not see the singleness of this movie now, so as Mr. Yu just said, I also decided to prepare a special prize for everyone. ”

Everyone is actually no stranger to Li Huan, they often see Li Huan busy during the hurricane, in order to ensure everyone's safety and food and drink, it stands to reason that they are no strangers to Li Huan, but most people have not had a direct conversation with Li Huan, so in general, everyone is not familiar. And Li Huan's identity is Yu Ting's boss from the beginning, although everyone can see the relationship between the two of them, but this does not affect everyone to see Li Huan's identity, this is the big boss.

Li Huan's words were just to shorten the distance.

Everyone heard Li Huan say that he had prepared a good thing, a good gift, and they didn't know what it was, so they came forward to take a look, and they liked to see that everyone smiled faintly after they came up, and turned over and took out a red gem from the virtual space. This gem was the first treasure they found in the Philippines based on the clue map. When Li Huan found them, they were shallow buried in the underground chest, the box was opened, and those gems were scattered, almost everyone picked them up by hand.

In addition to collecting antique gold, the Japanese army also collected these valuable gems, and it is not known why they collected these gems after polishing. The carved and polished gemstone and the original gemstone are completely different, and the gem in Li Huan's hand has been polished into a standard oval shape, and it has been polished, shining with an alluring red light under the light of the hotel restaurant - you can see the level of the polishing craftsman from here.

Everyone didn't see it clearly at first, but when they saw this gorgeous ruby clearly, there was a gasp in the restaurant!

"This, this gem is so beautiful!" The girl with the cap probably had the most to say to Li Huan, she subconsciously walked a few steps, and the bewitching red light couldn't help licking her lips under the reflection of the light, and only then did she react halfway: "This, this is really a reward for us?"

"Of course, this ruby has twenty carats, beautiful, isn't it?" Li Huan smiled and stretched out his hand to hold the ruby.

Beautiful, how can you not be beautiful? Didn't you see that the eyes of the women present were wrong?

When the gemstone is first mined, it looks like a roadside gravel, and after the intricate process of shaping, cutting, and carving, it becomes sparkling as if it were born to be so beautiful. Generally speaking, there are four basic cutting techniques for gemstones: free-polishing, cambering, faceting and engraving.

The gem was faceted and polished, in a formal and typical post-1400 polishing technique.

The faceted cut became popular in Europe at the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th century. At the end of the 15th century, a cutting wheel was invented that could be rotated horizontally, allowing the master to carefully and repeatedly polish the surface of the stone, slowly finding the most suitable surface to reveal the light inside the stone. The Renaissance market's fascination with this geometry and reflected light accelerated the development of elaborate gemstone art. During this period, the management of light within gemstones became a central theme in gemstone cutting in major gemstone markets throughout Europe. Faceting can unlock the greatest potential value in a gemstone because gem cutting is an art, not that it takes a lot of art and inspiration, but it requires some engineering, mechanics and some mathematical skills.

Many gem cutters are semi-professional, and they sometimes sell gemstones for hobby and to support their families. For those who collect and invest in gemstones, "faceting" is the most practical gemstone cutting style.

Of course, there are many styles of facet cuts – and what makes this gemstone so dazzling is because he uses a method called the balion cut. This cut was pioneered by a South African diamond cutter. It is connected to a fancy cut gemstone with a round brilliant pavilion. It is often combined with a step-cut crown to produce greater sparkle than other methods. Interestingly, they created this cut long before computer ray tracing – the best gem cuts are made with computer ray tracing that can be used to simulate optical effects such as the catadioptric reflection of simulated gemstones. The round, shiny-cut pavilion is even more effective than other types of pavilions, and it can show a fairly obvious "fountain of light" effect.

The so-called fountain of light is actually this shining light.

After Li Huan held this ruby in his hand, most of the girls were stunned, and the rest of the men were also sighing, no wonder this young Li Huan is the boss of this movie, this is really rich! Although the people present are not gemstone experts, everyone can also see that this gem is definitely worth a lot! And this thing can't be a fake, it's impossible for a person of Li Huan's grade to fool everyone with a fake-so this valuable gem must have been used as a reward to fool everyone.

And how to reward it...... There is only one gemstone.

That's right, there is only one gem, and he didn't say how to reward Li Huan, because he said that this was actually just a whim, because gems were no longer precious to Li Huan. If Li Huan is willing, he can even grab a handful of them as a reward, but this is not necessary, everything is scarce and expensive.

Yu Ting looked at everyone's eyes, of course she knew what everyone was thinking, after all, she had led several complete teams, and got along with these people day and night, everyone wanted to ask how to get this valuable gem, and it was not easy to speak, the most troublesome thing was that Li Huan was still an iron hanhan - it can't be said that although Li Huan is not a Tie Hanhan, he has never managed a company, so it is impossible to know what everyone is thinking, so Yu Ting took the initiative to stand up:" Now that Li Huan has spoken, let's select an outstanding employee at that time. As for how this employee is selected, I think the fairest way to vote is what everyone thinks? As long as you win the majority of votes, this beautiful gem will be spent to whoever wins, so it is fair to everyone. ”
