"Uh..." Xiao Shitou quickly picked up the folder tucked under his armpit, looked at the long list of instructions on the instruction manual, and began to introduce this newly developed drink to Alan.
"Master, the main ingredient of this drink is ginseng from the East, which is said to be a very good medicinal material. As for its effects... let me see... oh, it can refresh the mind, enhance immunity, and promote blood circulation."
After hearing about the effects, Alan and Xiao Shitou looked at each other in amazement. They thought that this health care product factory was good and they had found the right way this time.
Last time, Boss Cha ambitiously came up with some kind of detoxification potion that was said to help people excrete toxins from their bodies.
But unfortunately, Mr. Cha was reported because the product seemed to have little effect.
But this new product is different.
It is said that it can refresh the mind and enhance immunity, but these things are all hidden. In other words, no matter how effective this thing is, the effect will not be seen for a while after drinking it.
As for refreshing?
You drink too much tea and coffee, so of course the feeling is not obvious, and you can make it up with one excuse.
By taking this approach, at least the risk of being reported is greatly reduced.
As long as people don’t die from drinking it, there’s no problem!
…
Alan unscrewed the bottle cap and smelled the scent, which was slightly familiar.
How to put it... It smells like BAWANG anti-hair loss shampoo, which is weird and not too pleasant, but not bad either.
Just as he was about to drink, he suddenly saw Harry staring at him.
Alan directly handed the bottle of "Ginseng Drink" to Harry and said, "Try it."
This thing must have been tested. Regardless of whether it is effective or not, it is definitely non-toxic. However, Alan was a little unsure, so he tried it on Harry first.
…
Looking at the drink handed over by Alan, Harry's eyes have been looking in this direction since Xiao Shitou came over. He has been a little silly since he was a child, and a bit of a glutton. He likes to play and eat.
Harry took the "ginseng drink" handed to him by Alan, and before Alan could react, he drank up the small bottle of sweet water in a few gulps...
“How does it taste?”
“Is it delicious?”
Alan and William spoke at the same time, both looking at Harry with curiosity.
"belch!"
Harry looked at the two curious older brothers, burped in confusion, and then shook his head.
…
“…”
Alan looked at Harry speechlessly, what a stupid brother!
He picked up another small box on the table. This small box looked more like a health product.
Inside were several small bottles of oral liquid, also in golden yellow color.
"Isn't this the same as the one just now?"
Alan took out a straw from the box, inserted one and handed it to William, asking him to taste it, and then he picked up one to try himself.
Smacking your lips, how should I put it, it’s a little bitter, but the main taste is sweet, and then... then nothing else, just like drinking sweet water.
…
"Uh..." Little Stone picked up the document again and looked at it. "The ingredients are indeed the same, but the packaging is different. This small one is more expensive."
“…”
What kind of brain circuit is this?
The one just now was a small bottle of 300 ml, and this time it is five bottles of 30 to 40 ml oral liquid. The total volume is less than that one, but it is more expensive?
The most important thing is that the effect is still the same.
After waiting for a long time, the three brothers looked at each other, and Alan didn't feel that this thing was of any use.
He hooked his finger and asked Xiao Shitou to hand him the folder, and Alan flipped through it.
The main records are still the effects and product introductions.
but……
In the past, it was Boss Cha who took care of these things, but now that it's his turn, Alan doesn't want to keep things so monotonous.
Master Allen never cheats his customers when doing business!
He handed the folder back to Xiao Shitou and said, "Give them some feedback. Can this small bottle of oral liquid be more concentrated to make it more effective?"
As for the cost, Allen didn't care. Let them work on it first. Once the product is finalized, it would be time to consider large-scale production and cost issues.
"Okay, I'll make a note of that."
Xiao Shitou quickly took out a pen and wrote down what Alan had instructed on the document.
…
Ottawa is the capital of southern Ontario, Canada.
This place is very close to the border between the United States and Canada, and New York State of the United States is just across the water.
From a geographical point of view, Ottawa is only about 700 kilometers away from Washington, the capital of the United States.
From these situations, we can imagine that Canada has long been led astray by the rebellious son, America.
Although Canada seems to have a large territory, it has a small population and its major cities are very close to the United States. The fewer people there are the further north you go.
From the perspective of the United States, Canada is basically defenseless to them.
…
Cameron is a Canadian and was born in Ontario. He lived in Canada during his youth until he was 17, and later moved to the United States to study, work, and then make his debut.
With Cameron as a guide, Patrice's trip to Canada was extremely smooth.
The two flew directly from Cardiff, Wales, to Ottawa, Canada, where they rested for a few days. Cameron took Patrice and the other two on a tour for a few days, rented a car, and then contacted the Governor's Palace.
The other party was a little confused when he heard Patrice introduce himself.
But it was difficult to explain over the phone, so I could only tell the Governor and let him make the decision.
After this appointment, it took a few more days before the Governor General of Canada agreed to meet with Patrice.
…
Cameron drives himself. The two of them are currently renting a Cadillac, an American car. Canadian local car brands are too niche and too rubbish, so they basically prefer to buy American cars nearby.
When they were almost at the Governor General's Palace, Cameron smiled and said to Patrice who was sitting in the co-pilot seat: "The Governor General's Palace here is very interesting. If the Governor General is not at home, the flag on the Governor General's Palace will be replaced with the Canadian flag. If the Governor General is at home, the flag on the Governor General's Palace will be replaced with the Governor General's flag, which is the lion wearing a crown and holding a maple leaf in its hand."
"???"
Patrice looked at Cameron strangely and asked a somewhat stupid question.
"Since the flag has to be changed when the Governor is not at home, what's the point of flying any flag? Who are we flying it for?"
"Eh... you can't say that. This is for tourists to see. When they visit, they can tell whether the governor is at home by looking at the flag on the Governor's Mansion."
"Tourists?"
Patrice blinked, somewhat confused as to what this meant.
Cameron was stunned by Patrice's look, and then he reacted.
"Ah... this... Cookery is all influenced by America. Our Governor's Palace is open to the public everyday, and tourists can come in and visit."
Listening to Cameron's explanation, Patrice couldn't imagine what this scene was. The Governor's Palace was open to the public every day and could be visited?
It is true that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people!
Think about it from another perspective. What would it be like if the young master’s manor was open to the public?
Even if it is really open to the public, few people would dare to visit it. But here...
The Governor's Mansion is like a park, open to everyone. It has lost all its dignity. No wonder new Governors have not had titles in the past few decades. Isn't this embarrassing enough...
…
When the car arrived at the entrance outside the Governor's Palace, Patrice looked at the scattered crowd and the blue lion flag flying above the Governor's Palace with a twitching mouth.
This means that the Governor is at home today.
"I'm Cameron, this is Mr. Patrice. We're from Wales and have an appointment with the Governor. You can call and report."
Cameron rolled down the car window and handed his ID to the guard. He wanted to drive in and didn't want to walk in like the other tourists.
Patrice couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard Cameron addressing the Governor as "Your Excellency". A Governor without a title dared to use such an honorific title as "Your Excellency". It was really... unruly!
…
The current Governor General of Canada is Raymond John Nationish. He is an English speaker, but his name is a bit French, so it has a bit of both.
When Patrice saw Raymond for the first time, he was a little surprised.
Isn't it said that the Governor is a woman?
Why is he a man now?
He looked at Cameron, who had an innocent look on his face, with some doubt.
"Hello... Welcome to Canada."
Raymond was extremely wary of Patrice's arrival and was somewhat unsure of his purpose in coming here.
The main thing is that the other party introduced himself as a retainer of an earl.
After investigation and inquiry, it seems that this earl is not a simple person.
Although the other party's excuse was that they wanted to come here to shoot a movie, Raymond still didn't quite believe it. Although Canada gives great preferential policies to various foreign crews, as long as they come to Canada to shoot a movie, there will be certain tax refund policies, subsidies and the like.
But he didn't think that a dignified hereditary earl family would be interested in such a small profit. The nobles in Britain were all the same. They were wolves and they wanted to eat meat. All Canadians had a consensus on this point.
…
"Haha, hello Governor Raymond, I'm from Wales, and this is a gift my master asked me to bring you."
Although he was a little confused, Patrice heard the governor greet him first, so he quickly responded, took out the prepared gift and handed it to Raymond.
When Raymond opened this exquisitely crafted box that looked like a work of art, he found a gold and silver metal plate inside. On the plate was a badge, which was the lion badge of the Governor General of Canada.
But when he picked up the plate and took a closer look, Raymond was slightly moved. When he got closer, he found that this thing seemed to be a one-piece work of art. It looked like a badge on the plate, but if you look closely, the badge and the plate are integrated, like a complete sculpture, with extremely exquisite craftsmanship.
…
"Hahaha, I know Mr. Allen. He is very famous in North America."
With the gift as the guide, Governor Raymond's smile became even brighter. In front of Patrice, he boasted about Allen for a few words and even brought up the gossip that happened some time ago at the end of last year. The three of them looked at each other and smiled indescribably.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and Raymond personally led the way and invited the two to go to the conference room for a detailed discussion.
In the conference room, after the secretary put the tea and left the room, only Governor Raymond, Patrice and Cameron were left in the room.
…
Cameron picked up the information and explained it, while Patrice was responsible for answering some questions from Governor Raymond.
When Governor Raymond first read the script of this project, he was a little surprised.
This film reflects how the British government went to great lengths to get Canadian citizens to donate money during the war years. It also points out the importance of seeking truth from facts and restoring history. While restoring history, it also elevates the whole story a little bit.
The main perspectives are all positive and very biased towards Canada.
This script made Raymond a little uncomfortable. When would the noble lords of Britain have such awareness?
Isn’t this a bit abnormal?
But as I listened, I realized that a lot of the content that followed was very normal. The other party was here to make a movie, and the reason he came to see him today was simply because he hoped that Canada could provide some support in terms of funding, and he also needed some support in terms of the filming location.
…
"Governor Raymond, have you seen the short documentary Wild Survival filmed by Mr. Allen? It was released last year to promote tourism in Australia and the effect was quite good. I was also the one who negotiated the cooperation project with Australia."
Patrice took the initiative to bring this up, and there was a hint of pride and pretentiousness in his words...
"Oh? I've seen that. It turns out that the project was also negotiated by Mr. Patrice?"
Raymond was slightly moved. They were so close to America and were the most affected.
Whether it's good or bad.
Canada suffered considerable losses during the financial crisis a few years ago. If this gentleman is really here to make a movie, it is not impossible for us to cooperate.
…
Cameron talked about the staffing and said, "Your Excellency Governor, we plan to bring about 1,200 actors and a full set of equipment to shoot. We will also need your support. With so many people, it will be difficult to even arrange accommodation for them."
"???"
"etc!"
Raymond suddenly turned his head and looked at Cameron and said, "You just said, how many extras are you going to bring?"
"About 1,200 people."
"One thousand two hundred people?! As I recall, your film is more about war, right? Most of the actors will play soldiers, right?"
Although the story is about a fake military exercise, it can still be considered a war film.
But now the other party suddenly said that they wanted to bring 1,200 people over to make a movie...
…
"Yes, most of the people will play the role of fake German soldiers. Your Excellency, Governor, please rest assured that our actors are all retired navy veterans. They are absolutely qualified and will not cause you any trouble."
“…”
It would have been fine if Cameron hadn't said anything, but after he said that, especially when he pointed out the backgrounds of these people, Governor Raymond suddenly became a little panicked.
One thousand two hundred and two, this is not just one or two hundred people, this is thousands of people!
They are all Navy veterans!
What kind of character do the British naval veterans have? Do they need outsiders to tell them?
What is this for?
Is it possible that the Count wanted to create a modern version of Troy?
Ottawa is said to have a population of over one million, and it appears to be the fourth largest city in Canada, but there are so few Canadians that the total number of police officers in the entire capital is less than a thousand.
If so many people came at once...
These are not just more than a thousand actors, these are more than a thousand time bombs!
Would he agree to this?
cannot!
You ask me to rest assured, how can I rest assured?
