Before Kang Jianfei traveled through time, Brunei was a tycoon country with per capita GDP ranking sixth in the world. It made its fortune mainly by selling oil and natural gas.
At this time, Brunei was only 7 years old. It had the second largest oil reserves in Southeast Asia, but the exploitation and refining of oil and gas were still lagging behind. As for Brunei’s tourism industry, which will be very prosperous in the future, it is now
It has only just emerged. More than 30 outlying islands are basically undeveloped, and there is not even a shadow of the various luxury hotels of later generations.
Even though the country has not yet developed, the royal family and the rich have already lived in the style of super rich people. When Kang Jianfei came to the prince's private residence, he saw the magnificent halal-style garden buildings and instantly felt like those houses in Hong Kong
It doesn't qualify to be called a mansion at all. The only residence in his name that can be compared with the prince's private residence in front of him is the two courtyards of Guojun Prince's Mansion in the capital.
"You two, please come with me!" said the attendant walking in front yesterday.
Today is not about business, but mainly to meet with the prince, so only Kang Jianfei and Cameron are here. In fact, there is no need for Cameron to come, mainly because his white face can support the appearance, and the royal families in Southeast Asia are very popular.
This set. Although Kang Jianfei is very famous in Asia and is also a shareholder of Paramount, to some Asians, he is not as high-profile as Cameron, a great white director. After waiting in the reception room for a while,
Only then did the prince, who had served in the Irish Guards, show up.
The prince's name is Mohammed Bolkiah. He was trained at the Royal Military Academy in the United Kingdom when he was young, and later worked in the British Ministry of Defense. Only after Brunei was completely independent did he return to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Later, he also served as the Minister of Trade and National Economic Development.
Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Hearing that Muhammad Bolkiah liked fighting, Kang Jianfei originally thought that this prince should be tall and powerful, but the contrast between the real person and Kang Jianfei's imagination was huge.
He is just an ordinary uncle in his forties. He is wearing a casual shirt and pants with no design sense, and his hair is an ordinary crew cut. At first glance, he looks like a porter in Hong Kong. Prince Mohammed stands with his attendants
.The attendant is more like a member of the royal family, and he himself is at most the gardener of the prince's private residence.
If we say that this prince is frugal and casual, the house he lives in is surprisingly large. The decoration and furnishings in the house alone are enough for an ordinary person to live several lifetimes.
"Hello, Your Highness the Prince!" Kang Jianfei greeted in English.
Brunei was previously controlled by the British, and English remains its official language.
Cameron also stepped forward to greet him. It was his first time to come into contact with the royal family in Asia, and it felt quite fresh. After Prince Mohammed shook hands with the two, he smiled very simply and said: "Welcome both of you to Brunei."
Kang Jianfei praised: "Brunei is a beautiful country with charming scenery everywhere."
Muhammad smiled and said: "If you like, you two can stay here for a while and enjoy the scenery of Brunei."
Kang Jianfei said: "That's what I meant."
After some exchanges, Muhammad discovered that it was Kang Jianfei who was speaking, and immediately understood that Cameron was just a foil, and Kang Jianfei was the one who really made the decision.
Muhammad asked: "I heard that you two want to make a movie on Mirror Island?"
Kang Jianfei replied: "Yes, we plan to make a science fiction movie about dinosaurs with a minimum budget of US$50 million."
Even with the income from oil and natural gas, US$50 million in 1991 was still a huge sum of money. Muhammad was surprised: "Why does a movie require such a large investment?"
"It's like this, the most expensive computer special effects part of the movie. In addition, helicopters need to be used, and a filming base needs to be built on Mirror Island." Kang Jianfei gave an overview of "Jurassic Park", "
If possible, I hope to work with your country to develop the tourism resources of Mirror Island.”…
Prince Mohammed asked: "Is it just a filming base and a road?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Of course not. If approved by your country, I will spend additional money to build a resort on Mirror Island. The resort's hotel specifications will definitely be five-star."
Muhammad said: "But I heard that Mr. Kang is in the movie business. Do you know how to develop tourism projects?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and asked: "Has Your Highness the Prince ever heard of Shaolin Temple?"
Mohamed nodded and said: "Of course, this movie was very popular in Brunei back then."
"Shaolin Temple is now a tourist attraction in mainland China. Many tourists from all over the world visit every day," Kang Jianfei said proudly, "I have a tourism company in China. Shaolin Temple was developed and promoted by my company. In addition,
I have also developed Wudang Mountain, Danxia Mountain and other tourist routes in China. They are all very successful cases."
Prince Mohammed nodded and did not continue to ask any more questions. He also did not immediately agree to anything to Kang Jianfei. As a member of the royal family and a government official, he only needed to understand the general situation. Then someone would naturally do the specific operations and verify what Kang Jianfei said.
Only in the future will relevant personnel reply to Kang Jianfei.
The same is true for Kang Jianfei. If things go smoothly, he will ask Hu Juncai to bring tourism developers to Brunei for detailed negotiations.
After talking about business, Prince Mohammed took Kang Jianfei and Cameron to visit his garden. Kang Jianfei naturally brought the topic to fighting.
"Mr. Kang also knows Chinese Kung Fu?" Muhammad asked with interest.
Although the number of Chinese in Brunei is less than one-tenth of the total population, many Chinese are very influential in the economic and political fields. For example, Mohammed's deputy, Brunei's second foreign minister and trade minister Lin Yucheng is Chinese. Therefore,
There are also a few Chinese martial arts schools in Brunei, but the overall level is not very good. The number of Chinese here is not large, and there are even fewer Chinese who are willing to learn kung fu. Opening a martial arts gym can only make a living.
As for the Brunei National Wushu Team, it will take another 20 years to establish it - Chinese martial arts team members were invited to perform at the Brunei Royal Palace. Prince Mohammed was amazed after watching it. Later, with the help of Chinese martial arts coaches, the Brunei National Wushu Team was established.
The coach is Master Chen Nianen, the fourth generation successor of Wong Fei Hung.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "I practice Crane Fist."
Prince Mohammed was really a martial arts fanatic. He dragged Kang Jianfei to his private fighting room, and on the way, he sent someone to invite some of the fighters he had raised.
After arriving in the fighting room, Muhammad took off his clothes, put on boxing gloves in his underpants, and said: "Let's play with both hands first. I used to practice boxing, and later I learned Muay Thai."
Prince Mohammed, who was like a dock porter, took off his clothes and exposed all his tendons. James Cameron didn't know Kang Jianfei's skills, so he whispered: "Kang, this prince is very strong, can you do it?"
"A man can't say no." Kang Jianfei laughed and asked Mohammed, "Your Highness, what rules do we play by? I'm not very clear about the ring rules of boxing and Muay Thai."
Muhammad thought for a while and said: "You are not allowed to hit the throat, lower body and other parts. There are no other rules. We are just playing with both hands, so there is no need to bother."
Kang Jianfei thought to himself: It would be more troublesome to have no rules. You are the prince of a country. Without the protection of rules, you are easily injured. Who dares to play with you seriously?
But the prince was in a playful mood, so Kang Jianfei had no choice but to accompany him. He stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted, and then pretended to do the flying crane fist.
Prince Mohammed was jumping up and down opposite Kang Jianfei, using the pace of Muay Thai, when suddenly he came over with a tentative side kick.
Kang Jianfei did not dodge, but twisted his leg and used the trembling strength of the Crane Fist. After taking away most of the strength from Muhammad's leg, he suddenly rushed forward and rushed into the opponent's middle palace. He stretched out his palm and pressed it hard on Muhammad's chest.
push.
Although this palm thrust had no offensive power, before Muhammad could retract the kicked leg, he was pushed backwards by Kang Jianfei while standing on one foot and fell to the ground, sliding on the floor for three or four meters before stopping.
Because all this happened so fast, Prince Mohammed was stunned and didn't realize what was going on. Because neither boxing nor Muay Thai had such an attack method, he didn't even have the slightest defense.
Muhammad patted his butt and got up, thought about it carefully and said, "Is this Chinese Kung Fu? It seems a little different from the one in the movie."
Of course it's different. Movies are made for people to watch, so naturally the more fancy and entertaining they are, the better.
Chinese Kung Fu was born out of the battlefield, and most of them pay attention to the practice of lower body Kung Fu, because once you fall down on the battlefield, it is difficult to get up. The result of the match with Muay Thai is hard to say, but without any rules in the ring, it is the same.
Kung Fu masters with good physical fitness will definitely beat boxers, and boxers can easily be attacked in the middle and lower lane.
This is how Muhammad lost. He obviously didn't practice Muay Thai well, and his fighting mentality was still stuck in boxing, so he was easily snatched into the middle palace by Kang Jianfei.
If it was a life-and-death struggle, Kang Jianfei would not have pushed Muhammad away at all, but would have been fighting him closely. No matter how many pounds of force he could punch with one punch, or how thick a rubber tree he could break with one kick, it would not matter.
It's useless, because no matter how strong the strength is, there is no room to show it. In this case, the best way for the boxer to deal with it is to hug the opponent, and then both parties hug each other and play wrestling to determine the outcome.
The reason why Kang Jianfei didn't show mercy at all and pushed Muhammad directly was because he had already guessed the prince's character through previous contacts. Giving in to the prince would not win the other's favor, but he would show amazing
Only after gaining strength can Muhammad truly admire him.
James Cameron was not very interested in fighting, but he was still stunned when he saw that Kang Jianfei directly pushed Muhammad to the ground within a few seconds of the fight between the two sides - it turns out that Chinese Kung Fu is not just about fancy fists and embroidered legs on the screen.
