"Changcheng had always planned an overseas expansion. Their first overseas automobile factory was in Tula City, Russia."

In the office, the assistant was briefing Chen Yiyang on Changcheng's current business situation, especially their overseas ventures.

"They also have a factory in Russia?" Chen Yiyang perked up upon hearing that.

"Yes." The assistant nodded, "Changcheng established an automobile factory in Tula City, Russia, primarily producing traditional vehicles like pickups and SUVs."

"Where is Tula City located in Russia?"

"Just below Moscow, close to Moscow, it's considered one of the core cities in Russia."

"Alright, noted."

Chen Yiyang originally wanted to better understand the competitor but didn't expect this pleasant surprise.

The Russian market might be worth considering.

Chen Yiyang was already planning to visit Russia soon to discuss coffee bean business.

Now he learned this information.

He might as well visit Changcheng's automobile factory in Tula at that time.

"By the way, boss." The assistant spoke again, "Recently, some journalists have contacted us, saying they hope to interview you."

"Interview me about what?"

"It might be related to the Korean military drone incident." The assistant replied.

"These journalists are really bored." Chen Yiyang felt a bit helpless.

Although South Korea hadn't taken any actions against him.

If the government over there targets him in the future, it could cause issues for his business.

So he wanted to keep a low profile regarding this matter.

Unexpectedly, these journalists were so idle, hoping to get some exclusive news through him.

It's best to avoid them.

The main reason Chen Yiyang went to Brazil last time was to escape the attention from deepseek.

Now he's got to dodge due to the Korean drone incident's heat.

But since he already planned to go to Russia, he decided to go as soon as possible.

Two days later, Chen Yiyang, along with a small accounting team and assistants, headed to Russia.

Gena was still the one to pick up Chen Yiyang at the airport.

But today, as soon as Chen Yiyang got into Gena's car, Gena mysteriously told him, "I've got something good, you might be interested."

"What good stuff?" Chen Yiyang thought maybe it was some private jet or yacht.

But Gena didn't say anything on the road.

It wasn't until Chen Yiyang went to his villa that he took it out.

"Look, what's this?"

Gena took out an ancient book.

"What's this?" Chen Yiyang glanced at the ancient book.

The book seemed to be made using Huaxia's ancient methods.

But he didn't recognize a single character on it.

"You can't read the text?" Gena was puzzled, "I found a scholar who told me this is written in an ancient script by a Huaxia ethnic group called the Jurchens."

"Jurchen script, could it be Manchu?" Chen Yiyang carefully put on gloves, took the book, and flipped through it.

He couldn't understand Manchu, but he had seen quite a few Manchu documents domestically.

However, the text on this book was clearly not Jurchen or Manchu.

But the script looked like hieroglyphs, similar to Chinese characters.

"Where did you get this?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"Didn't I tell you earlier we were short an exhibition hall?" Gena said mysteriously, "Later we thought many things in the exhibition hall are valuable, burning them directly would be a shame.

So we forged some artifacts to burn, and rescued the real ones.

This book also came from there. I thought it was from your country and planned to give it to you as a gift."

"Since you plan to give it to me, it's mine now." Chen Yiyang held the ancient book and thought for a moment before saying to Gena, "Can I take some photos and send them to domestic experts I know?"

"It's all yours, do with it as you like, this book has completely disappeared from our official archives."

Gena seemed indifferent.

After all, it's not from their ethnicity, even if it were burned on the spot, he'd feel alright.

Chen Yiyang placed the book aside, then told Gena the two purposes of his trip.

One, he hoped Gena could introduce him to some large-scale coffee bean buyers in Russia, the other was he wished to visit Tula.

"There's not much fun in Tula, but since you want to go, I'll arrange it in a few days." First, Gena talked about visiting Tula, then continued with the coffee bean issue.

"I know a coffee bean buyer, met him while drinking. If you want to meet, I can call him tonight."

"Tomorrow then, I want to rest tonight, recover my condition."

"Okay, no problem." Gena made a gesture indicating he would take care of everything.

In Russia, having Gena as a friend made things a lot more convenient for what Chen Yiyang wanted to do compared to Brazil.

Of course, to maintain their friendship, Chen Yiyang and Gena needed to bind more interests together.

That night, Chen Yiyang returned to the bedroom with the ancient book and sent the photos to Xu Xiaosheng.

Xu Xiaosheng happened to be awake, so they immediately started a video call.

"These characters look familiar." Xu Xiaosheng was wearing thin pajamas, with most of her skin exposed.

Unfortunately, they were too far apart.

Otherwise, Chen Yiyang would have no interest in discussing ancient books right now.

Xu Xiaosheng was browsing information while casually chatting with Chen Yiyang.

But suddenly, mid-conversation, Xu Xiaosheng fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"The text on this ancient book seems to be the Liao Script."

"Liao Script?"

"Yes."

Xu Xiaosheng continued, "During the Song, Jin, and Liao periods, the Liao Dynasty had its own script, generally referred to as Khitan script.

Khitan script was created by the Khitan people during the Liao Dynasty, inspired by Chinese characters, considered a derivative of Chinese.

It was the official script of the Liao Dynasty, divided into large and small characters, also known as Liao Large Script and Liao Small Script.

However, with the fall of the Liao Dynasty and the subsequent order by Jin Zhangzong to stop using Khitan script, this script was lost.

Currently, domestic research mainly focuses on the Liao Small Script, yet neither Liao Large Script nor Liao Small Script has been fully deciphered.

From the reference picture, I feel the text on your ancient book looks like the Liao Large Script. Take a picture of the book's cover, I will ask around to find out what the title means."

"Alright." Chen Yiyang, upon hearing Xu Xiaosheng's words, immediately took another picture.

Liao Large Script picture.
