"Have the mineral water source been settled?" Xia Tian asked Xie Chongming again.

"I have sent a team to visit famous mountains in the mainland. I have gone to Changbai Mountain in the north, to Himalayas in the west, to Putuo Mountain in the east, and to Luofu Mountain in the south. All famous mountains will be run through to find water sources, detect water volume, and check water quality." Xie Chongming said, "But Mr. Xia, many famous mountains in the mainland now have no access to roads, and transportation is inconvenient. Even if there is a good mineral water source, it may not be able to be mined."

"I know." Xia Tian nodded.

Many famous mountains and rivers in the mainland were tourist attractions in their previous lives. When it comes to holidays, the Golden Week is crowded with traffic, crowded and crowded in Wuyang, and there is no place to take the lead.

But in fact, in the 1980s, those famous mountains and rivers were not popular. Even Shaolin Temple, known as the Zen ancestral home, was deserted in the early 1980s.

When Zhang Xinyan went to film the movie "Shaolin Temple", there was not even a road to the mountain. The weeds in the temple were more than one person tall, and half of the clay Buddha collapsed, which was extremely desolate.

When director Yang Jie was filming "Journey to the West", he also traveled all over famous mountains and rivers. It seemed like he was traveling around, but in fact it was extremely painful. Because of inconvenient transportation and inconvenient transportation, all the equipment was resisted by people and carried by people, which was quite difficult.

Filming is so difficult, let alone setting up a factory in the mountains to mine mineral water.

Xie Chongming is right. The road is not clear, and even if there are treasures in the mountains, it is difficult to transport them out.

However, it depends on the situation in the long run. Nowadays, transportation is indeed inconvenient, but in a few years or even more than ten years, with the development of infrastructure in the mainland, transportation will basically not be a problem.

Now, we first explore the water source clearly, and then sign a mining contract for decades. Now these water sources are not valuable, and the annual lease may only be hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. Even if we are idle there, there will be no big loss.

But in a few years, more than ten years, once the road is repaired, the water can be continuously pumped up and sold. It would be a huge profit, and it is probably more profitable than opening an oil well.

"Now, investigate first and get the water source first. When the road is built, you can make money." Xia Tian said, "Or otherwise, when the road is built in a few years, when the road is built, will it be so easy for you to seize the water source?"

As far as he knows, in his previous life, Northeast China once photographed a water source detection right (note that it was the detection right, not the mining right), and sold 150 million yuan.

Therefore, since you have the opportunity to obtain mining rights at a cheap price, you must seize the time and act quickly. Otherwise, if you miss the opportunity now, you will have to pay dozens or even hundreds of times the price in the future.

"I understand, Mr. Xia." Xie Chongming nodded.

...

After finishing the matter of dividing houses and food factories, it was already July.

Summer is preparing to leave for Cannes to attend the 41st Film Festival held there.

He had signed up in May, and the movies he brought to the exhibition include "Lame Hao", "Dream Man" and "Chongqing Forest".

However, the movie "Chongqing Forest" was submitted for review before the registration deadline on June 25th, and it was almost impossible to get there.

In addition to the above three movies that will participate in the award competition, Xia Tian is also preparing to participate in the exhibition of several movies such as "Hong Xiguan", "Heroic Color", "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldier", "Overwill Flower", "Angel Action" and "Fairy Tales in Autumn".

In addition to Tianxia Pictures, film companies such as Jiahe, Xinyi City, Siyuan Pictures, and Film Jie will also go with them. Each of them has prepared excellent masterpieces and wants to make a fortune at the Cannes Film Festival.

Three months ago, at the Berlin Film Festival in the summer, I made 30 million US dollars by selling screening rights, which is about 240 million Hong Kong dollars. This is higher than the total box office of their movies in a year, so how can they not salivate?

In addition to the people from the film company, more than a dozen stars will also go there.

For example, Lin Qingxia, Zhang Guorong, Lan Jieying, and Liu Dehua in "Chongqing Forest"; Ti Long and Ye Tong in "Lame Hao"; Hu Huizhong, Liang Jiahui in "Dream Man", etc. Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao under Jiahe; Xu Guanjie, Yuan Jieying under Xinyi City, etc.

Therefore, the number of delegations participating in the exhibition in Hong Kong this time is as high as 70, which is the largest number of Hong Kong filmmakers participating in international film exhibitions in recent years.

Seeing so many people joining him in the Cannes Film Festival, Xia Tian couldn't help but feel excited.

In his opinion, the more Hong Kong filmmakers appear on the international stage, the more Hong Kong films can attract the attention of the world.

Now that so many Hong Kong filmmakers go to Cannes with him, it will definitely cause a big sensation. At that time, Hong Kong films will surely become famous all over the world.

A good thing!

However, although things are good, they are not perfect, and there is still a little regret.

Xia Tian originally wanted to take Zhou Huimin to the Cannes Film Festival.

The small French town is located on the Mediterranean coast, with beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery. It is a world-renowned tourist destination.

In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, there is also romantic and charming customs and culture, which can be enjoyed well.

However, now there are so many people in the delegation, it is impossible to get some tricks in full view. What's more, there are Lin Qingxia, Hu Huizhong, Lan Jieyi and others in the delegation. With them staring at him, he wanted to travel with Zhou Huimin, which was simply an impossible task.

"Oh, life has been hard to achieve both ways since ancient times!" he said distressedly.

...

Xia Tian then made an appointment with Zhou Huimin.

"Amin, there is something I want to tell you, but I'm embarrassed to speak." He said with an awkward expression.

"Brother, what do you want to tell me?" Zhou Huimin asked with concern when he saw this.

"That's right. Didn't I promise you to take you to the Cannes Film Festival before?" Xia Tian hesitated for a while and said.

"Yes, I'm ready. When will we set off?" Zhou Huimin nodded and asked with anticipation.

"Uh..." Xia Tian suddenly felt uncomfortable when she said this.

It's all his fault. He went back on his word and had already given people hope, but now he has ruined their expectations. Isn't this obviously a trick?

"Brother, what's wrong? Has things changed?" Zhou Huimin saw that he was hesitating and seemed to understand something. Her face turned pale and she asked.

She has been waiting for this journey for more than two months, and she passes every day with her fingers, every minute and second. If she can't go now, she would be really disappointed.

"No, we'll set off right away. Departing on the 11th, I'll book your ticket for you." Seeing her like this, Xia Tian felt ache and quickly changed his words.

He really couldn't bear to see Zhou Huimin's disappointed look.

"Okay, thank you brother!" After hearing what Xia Tian said, Zhou Huimin suddenly turned cloudy and turned sunny, and she smiled happily.

"I'm in trouble now~" Xia Tian sighed in her heart when she saw her smiling like a flower.
