Volume III, Chapter 1, Hebei Chixian

Chi County, Hebei Province, is located in the northwest of the capital, about 200 kilometers away from the capital in a straight line, the environment here is quiet, the climate is pleasant, and it has the reputation of "heating without coal, enjoying the cool without shaking the fan". The county is surrounded by verdant peaks and mountains, lush green trees, gurgling springs, and hidden temples. In the "Notes on the Book of Water" of Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there is "a soup spring in the north of Yuyang", which shows that the hot springs here have a long history. There are many monuments such as inscriptions and temples in the county, and the Kangxi Emperor in history once accompanied the emperor's grandmother, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, to stay here for more than 50 days. The beauty of the environment can be imagined.

With the development of the economy, there are now many large car shops and restaurants on the side of the highway leading from Akagi to the capital for those drivers of long-distance transportation to rest and eat. Although the conditions are a bit simple, people who go out are not just trying to eat a hot meal and have a warm bed.

Soon after the Spring Festival in '90, Chixian County was greeted with a rare sandstorm, from the morning, the sky was gray, by noon, the sky had begun to turn yellow, the wind gradually increased, in the afternoon, the wind has been clearly with sand, the outburst - dew-outside vehicles, buildings have been covered with an inch of thick dust.

Just on the side of the road, less than 30 miles from the county seat of Chicheng, two small three-story buildings stand beside the road, and there are signs hanging on them to say that this is a roadside restaurant and hotel.

The proprietress in her thirties, who had been wrinkled early by the hardships of life, stood at the door, looking at the dust in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh. It's already afternoon meals, but there are only a few tables in the restaurant. Today's business is completely ruined. Just as she was about to turn back, she saw a Beijing jeep driving from the road in the direction of the capital, and the green-colored car was already full of sand and dust in front of it, and it was turning here. The car quickly stopped in the open space outside the store, and three people got out of the car. It is Fang Mingyuan and Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo.

When the proprietress saw the three of them entering the store, she hurriedly came up to greet them in person, led the three of them to the table in the middle of the room, and said while wiping the table: "The small shop is an authentic northland flavor, what do you want to eat?" If you want game, we have freshly hunted hares and pheasants here. Where do the guests go on this windy day? Do you want to rest with us, we have the best yellow rice here, and we guarantee that a few people are satisfied. Mingerge is said to get better! In this windy and sandy day, your car can't drive fast, and it's dangerous. The two words of the proprietress zuihou approached the three of them and whispered.

"Yellow rice?" Chen Zhong glanced at the charming proprietress in surprise. Yellow rice, he knows, is a finished product after peeling millet or millet seeds, because of its color-color-yellowing, so it is collectively called yellow rice. In Qinxi, there are also foods made with yellow rice, and the taste is still very good. But what does this stay have to do with yellow rice? He looked at Wei Xingguo and Fang Mingyuan, Wei Xingguo shook his head slightly, he was also confused at this time.

"Yes, don't you cool the yellow rice? The goods we have here are good, the price is fair, and you can rest assured that no one will come to check, and you can sleep peacefully and steadily. The proprietress said with a smile on her face.

"No need, we haven't decided whether to stay or not, you can bring us this meal first." Looking at Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo's confused appearances, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but smile.

When the proprietress went to greet the shopkeeper with a little disappointment, Fang Mingyuan said in a low voice: "In the dialect here, Huang Mi is Miss!" It's chickens! Cool yellow rice, just play Miss! ”

Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo suddenly realized that they had been making trouble for a long time, this one was pimping! Fang Mingyuan listened to this familiar dialect and couldn't help but think of his previous life again. In his previous life, when he first came to Chixian, he was also the same as Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo, and he was confused by the word yellow rice, and he was almost moved by the proprietress who said it. I later learned that here, Huang Mi actually refers to Miss. After seven years, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but think of everything back then. Chen Zhong and Wei Xingguo looked at each other, knowing that this one had begun to wander the world again, so they nodded tacitly and did not disturb him.

Just after the Spring Festival, he rushed back to the capital, not to mention, and inexplicably dragged the two of them to this small county town.

** Year after year, the Fang family got a huge interest-free loan of 300 million Hong Kong dollars from the Guo family, and began a stunned expansion in Pingchuan, Weinan, Fengyuan and Pingshui, in just one year, Carrefour supermarket has twelve branches in Qinxi Province, and Fangjia restaurants have opened all over the cities of Qinxi Province, making gratifying profits. The small commodity wholesale market in Pingchuan County has also been opened, and in half a year, it has attracted merchants from all over Qinxi Province to settle in, and now the stores of the first phase of the project have all been rented out, and the second phase of the project is being intensively constructed. This alone contributes millions of dollars to the finances of Pyeongcheon County every year. And these do not include the living expenses of merchants in Pingchuan County these days, as well as some derivative income. According to the statistics of the Pingchuan County Finance Bureau, Pingchuan County's fiscal revenue will be able to reach a balance this year, and from next year, it will be able to gradually pay off its previous debts, and Li Dongxing no longer has to worry about Pingchuan County's embarrassing financial revenue.

Although there have been some turmoil in China in the first year, which has affected the tourism industry of Fengyuan City, it has no impact on the hotel jointly established by the Guo family and the Fang family. The rooms with Chinese folk characteristics are unique among many hotels and hotels in Fengyuan, and a large number of tourists from Hong Kong and Macao are enough to ensure their occupancy rate. The high-quality and attentive room service here has won the praise of guests who have stayed here, and it is now a little famous in Hong Kong and Macau.

Japanese companies made even more impressive profits last year, with "Age of Discovery" selling 12 million units in Shijie, a miracle in the Japanese game industry that year. And unlike other games, "Age of Discovery" has been praised by game critics in Shijie countries, believing that this game has largely promoted teenagers' understanding of Shijie geography, at least many people will no longer make jokes that China is located in the Middle East and the Cape of Good Hope belongs to Germany. Moreover, at Fang Mingyuan's insistence, the Chinese version of "The Age of Discovery" was officially released to China in May of the ** year.

Due to the hot sales of "Age of Discovery", the production of "Age of Exploration II" was quickly put on the work schedule, still Fang Mingyuan's main creation, and officially released before Christmas in ** year, this time it was Japanese, English, and Chinese three versions on sale at the same time, achieving the remarkable results of selling one million sets on the first day in Japan, and in just two months, the sales volume has been - approaching - the 10 million mark, breaking the sales record of "Age of Discovery" can be said to be just around the corner. With two best-selling titles in quick succession, and the popularity of Bubble Bobble and Zuma, the newly formed joint venture is now quite famous in the Japanese gaming industry.

**In September of the same year, "Youyou Baishu" finally came to an end after more than a year of serialization. The "Hunter" that began to be serialized in March carried the banner of "Juvenile Monthly", and its sales in Japan continued to rise, and today's "Juvenile Monthly" is no longer the newcomer who was founded not long ago, and has not yet gained a firm foothold in the Japanese comic industry, the popularity of Fang Mingyuan's two works, so that it has completely established a foothold in the Japanese market, and attracted a large number of comic rookies.

The animated version of "Youyou Hakusho" lasted for the whole ** year and achieved the third best result in the anime ratings. The battle game of "Youyou Hakusho" has also landed on the Sega console, and has effectively driven the sales of the Sega console, and the income is extremely lucrative. And the related derivative products generated as a result have made Fang Mingyuan make a lot of money.

Now the animated version of "Hunter" has also appeared on the screen in Japan, and the ratings have repeatedly reached new highs, which has surpassed the best results of "Yuyu Hakusho", and it is very likely to reach the top. Future earnings are also highly promising.

The novel adapted from the script of Fang Mingyuan's "Resident Evil" was first released in July, and 100,000 copies were printed and distributed in the first edition.

It's just that all of these didn't make Fang Mingyuan, who had entered the nineties, laugh and laugh for it, although there were occasional smiles, but they would soon disappear, and he was often alone in a daze. No one knew it was weishenme, and no one was able to ask about weishenme.

In fact, the reason is very simple, Fang Mingyuan is thinking about how to hand over this gold mine to the country without making people feel suspicious, and at the same time create a favorable environment for his future development. Now he doesn't want to wait any longer, and only by intervening in the development of mineral resources can he make the most of the memories in his previous life.

But in China, the risk of a private company wanting to get involved in the development of mineral resources is far greater than that of other industries. If Fang Mingyuan just wants to make a fortune and leave, it is still easy, but if he wants to do it for a long time and become bigger, there are too many things to do.

"Bang dang!" The door of the small shop was suddenly kicked open, and then a cold wind carrying a large puff of sand and dust immediately swept the whole room!

"What the hell is this weather!" With the sound of swearing, several people covered in dust walked in.
